this movie is a mystery it's not scary it's spooky you'll probably jump at some points and for some of it you'll be scratching your head to figure it out it unfolds its mystery through the main character eve and her psychotic college project at an insane asylum don he needs her to search for some clues to himself from murdering his mother and once eve agrees to help him she completely opens up box and some very strange things including i won't go into but i thought the way that played out was complete genius i know movie buffs won't regard this movie with the same as other classics because it doesn't have anyone very famous in it angelina brother was excellent but maybe he should have asked his sister to show her face just so this movie could get some recognition but i do think the way the ending works is something to talk about i've recommended this to my friends definitely worth the purchase or rental price,positive
there is only one film i can think of that might be as good or better than this one when it comes to bugs bunny and duck ali bunny however which is the best is irrelevant just watch them both and enjoy br br i compared this to ali bunny because both feature at his absolute worst greedy nasty and very funny in the process however i think i prefer rabbit simply because bugs is also pretty awful in this one doing horrible things right back to every time tries a dirty trick br br the film begins with leaving rabbit tracks right up to hole in the hope that a hunter naturally it's elmer will blast the rabbit and leave alone not to be bugs time and again takes all of tricks and turns them around and in most cases it involves getting shot in the face it's all very very clever and funny and i don't care how old you are this cartoon will make you laugh unless you are a i especially love the great and unexpected ending but i won't say more as i don't want to spoil the surprise,positive
everything is a young jewish american for the woman that helped his grandfather escape nazi while on a cross european tour with some unlikely associates br br makes his directorial debut with a playful angst usually associated with his acting when successful actors decide to sit in the director's chair we usually get a glimpse at the souls beneath the acting mask check we usually get a of genres check but what we normally do not get is an insightful original film which is credible intelligent and moving br br wood plays jonathan an young boy who pieces of life as he goes he is on a mission to find a woman in a photograph the picture bears his grandfather an uncanny resemblance to him and the woman to aid his journey he the help of travel that of a hip hop loving break dancer alex eugene his and grandfather boris and his dog sammy davis junior jr what ensues is essentially a comedy there is an un simple introduction with voice overs is especially funny as he his younger brother on the year 1969 proving how popular he is with the chicks and break dancing thus setting him up as br br begins to break down the characters as they progress and the comedy acts as an intentional to what is a story about three people linked to the holocaust who do not really know themselves all three hold the film with and authenticity something was unlikely to get wrong and as enchanting and as the film is the horrors that are allowed to crack through i e the past are presented in an almost tone incidental music cinematography which make them all the more unsettling br br as the unlikely group finally find the town they seek they learn of the true atrocities that occurred and find out a lot about who they really are br br wood is as authentic as usual bringing his usual innocence and strength to the screen a resident good in lord of the rings and a resident evil in sin city he plays jonathan with as he is with culture shocks and a quest for truth boris as the grandfather also delivers his angst and frustration at the with great humour and conviction as his own past is however it is eugene as alex that makes the show the director using that old trade of translation to create and maintain a humour that is actually funny and not br br has delivered an enchanting debut that has both heart and soul the continuous score and beautiful photography creates a fairy tale around a story about identity truth and family if there was a complaint it would be the speed at which the film changes direction though this could have been intentional it may not sit well with all nevertheless this is a sterling effort that delivers great comedy and bonding between an unlikely group while another aspect of the horrors of world war 2 in a completely fresh fashion br br,positive
ok yes i know i'm a and i have no knowledge of nor love for opera i readily admit that i might feel differently about this film if i did but i don't so for those of you like me skip this one unless you want to look at the pretty sometimes girls for what it's worth i thought the first segment with russell who i didn't recognize was the best of the lot,negative
okay i'm sorry to the cast and crew for this review but this movie is by far the worst i've seen yet first off the acting was okay it could of been better especially in some parts but it was okay then there was the video camera which they used the violence was pretty good if it were paced faster it would be awesome but they didn't sigh scares the scares were well written in the script but not well done for instance spoiler here in the a girl is half way in it and the other half is in the dark bottom area of the house then she gets it the monster her down and then you hear guts getting ripped out the scares could have been better if the music wasn't ripped from a cheap horror sounds cd the blood effects were pretty good but the blood was like that of kill bill k b pulled it off because it was meant to resemble old kung fu movies but when the crew can't tell the difference between red and pink it's sad the ripped up bodies in the movie were good but the scarecrow costumes were something you would see for 25 bucks at a halloween store don't let the cover fool you the costumes suck my overall grade is a 3 10 if you are interested in independent movies are easily satisfied or just have 3 bucks burning a hole in your pocket go to blockbuster and see the horror of failure,negative
the main criticism of at the core is that it's cheap the special effects are bad and so on and so forth yes some of the special effects are painfully bad but what a lot of folks overlook about it is that it's actually quite fun which is very important in my book br br in comparison just look at the latest star wars films they have the latest greatest special effects created by the latest technological advances which are capable in creating stunning visual effects as far reaching as the human imagination can imagine and yet with all the those films were as exciting as a funeral as would say fun they're not in other words who cares if the fx aren't the greatest when the spirit of the film is fast paced humorous and clearly set on the side of action i love everything about at the core the contrast between victorian england vs the wild other colorful setting of the cast of characters the concept of a lost underground world the the human slaves the ugly one lol the inspired of peter cushing who's great and doug the excellent music it's really good cinematography by the amazing alan and last but not least caroline she's sexy in this movie one of the b movie babes ever captured on screen br br seriously anyone who doesn't like this movie doesn't know what fun is at the core over any turgid star wars any time at least it has caroline which no cgi fx can ever recreate,positive
a wonderful film in the best magic tradition with very far analysis of much of the big issues we are just starting to face br br should be viewing for all politicians br br take your pick from nuclear global climate change quality of life br br reminiscent of but with modern twist and considerable humour br br i'm not although i've there and have good friends but i found it totally accessible and also informative,positive
so i turned on the tv today at 1 00 on a sunday expecting to see crap and and this great movie was just starting didn't know what it was but drew me in almost immediately the movie was excellent br br there were a couple of things that didn't make sense for one i don't get why the dead guy was talking about doing stuff to get yourself out of your bad situation but then jimmy doesn't really do anything except the basic stuff to survive that anyone would do in his situation in other words it wasn't his that got him out of his bad situation it was just luck second i don't get the thing about the girl killing the the gangsters at the end because the whole thing was partly by the thief people stealing money and then the other thief kills at the end so they steal his money twice and kill him how is that good,positive
i saw this movie a time ago because some of my friends wanted to rent it and i got voted down i tried as best i could to get the story because some had said that this would be a movie that would be for rob lowe that pulp fiction had been for john travolta well we can all see that he not only failed but he fell the way down this is actually the worst film i've ever seen and i've seen a great deal of bad movies it's just not even worth seeing for free on tv,negative
i thought that this was the most interesting film that has done in a very long time i loved his character and the whole thing with the rabbit set a different tone for this film imho may really be on to something going forward a little more light some obvious to other films mixed in with some great fights i would like to see more this style of film making from him one of the other posters thought that the bar scene was a rip off i immediately saw the r rodriguez connection also but thought it was very clever and made me want to see the film again to look for more subtle from other films rocks br br other stuff after reading other comments br br no music in the fight at first i didn't like that at first either but then i thought it was interesting because it threw me off balance a bit by giving us something that we didn't expect made it seem more real br br i also always get a laugh when directors cry like 2 year olds that their film was stolen from the studio directors are paid to do a job the studio is the boss and they want the product that they want very few directors have absolute final cut on a film in this case is the talent and the only reason anyone is watching this film i am sure he got a film that he was happy with i have a relative who works at a post house who knew a little of the story presumably the director worked on and delivered his cut of the film everyone who saw it said it was a disaster then and the studio re edited the movie this stuff happens all the time he also did see the final cut which he claims he didn't and his delicate genius ego was severely because they hated his delivered cut if this director was smart he should have taken credit for this one as it would have been his best,positive
i also attended the international horror film festival and i can easily see why this film won best of show br br sea of dust is a wild romp of horror comedy and beautiful scenery a back in time tale of strange goings on an increasingly wide spread illness with an irritating side effect of people's heads exploding brings a young apprentice to investigate along his travels he decides to briefly and once again ask for his long time hand in marriage only to once again be sent by her extremely stubborn along the way out of town he comes across an ill girl in the road and delivers her to dr brilliantly played by up and coming vincent price like actor edward x young who fills in on the a foot only the dr is insulted that he had called for the professor and only received a boy in the less turns out to be much more than a common horror icon tom portrays the ultimate religious torment john scream queen ingrid pitt comes out of retirement to give a stellar performance as anna many beautiful and talented supporting actors held the story together and helped to effectively move it along to the climax br br dark religion and over the top but fun and sometimes very original gore scenes play heavily in this hammer tribute flick this stylish movie goes back and forth between flashbacks surreal worlds dreams and the character's reality br br horror and gore aside this is also a very funny movie slapstick tongue and cheek humor and dark comedy raise their heads among the dark story line like others have stated this really is like three great movies in one very entertaining and original,positive
as a history of this even close dies to help the indians i am sure the other members of the weren't in that decision but as a western this is fun flynn looks and acts the part of the dashing and the owen is always nice to hear,positive
after seeing the previews awhile back i looked forward to seeing steve martin in a comedy that i thought might be a keeper unfortunately i was wrong problem was the previews were the only funny parts to the movie the rest of the movie was pretty much a bunch of junk scenes that have been done to death and characters we've all seen a thousand times br br this movie was proof positive that if you put enough cash on the table you can talk anybody into anything steve martin is a favorite of mine but this one was a big the only actor in the movie who was worth watching was eugene levy he was the best of a mighty lame group,negative
i had never heard of this film and only got it because i am a martin sheen fan now i am stunned as to why it did not receive the praise and recognition that it truly deserves the four characters all make you feel for them the father trying to his authority the mother still to traditional family values and both trying to keep up appearances despite the total of their family the daughter wanting her own life and the son haunted by his experiences in vietnam one felt that this was a scenario that must have been played out in thousands of families after vietnam as jeremy was superb totally unhinged by his war experience which none of his family could relate to the screen chemistry between him and his real life father martin sheen was amazing and there were times when face was so like in apocalypse now i feel sure that just as martin has counted as one of his best films will count this one as one of his best too the scene with the gun was totally mind blowing as all the emotions were there on the family's faces brilliant acting by sheen and kathy bates i watched the film for the first time last night and today the lead story in the news was about a war veteran who had shot several members of his family how many more young men are going to have their lives destroyed by war,positive
shirley knight plays sara a long island housewife who runs away from her marriage when she discovers she is pregnant she plans to drive into america's and start along the way she picks up a friendly james who calls himself ' soon she discovers that the good natured is actually brain damaged and by picking him up she has taken on a huge responsibility the two of them drive all the way to where sara gets killer a job helping out at a farm it is here that sara meets gordon a local cop and soon things go horribly wrong for everyone br br this is a powerful drama about people from society by the choices they make or by the limits on them by others even with such a low budget and a very attitude the film is able to capture everything that needs to be said through these clearly defined characters shirley knight has a complex role and there are moments of some awe inspiring acting by her one of my favorites is when she is on the calling her home to her worried husband the first time it is such a tense scene on both ends and in every small gesture and of a word so much about her is spoken with so little then comes in the character of played by james this character is unlike any i've ever seen him play and he performs wonderfully it's one of his best performances as he is very restrained and moving br br the way coppola develops the characters by using short dream like flashbacks is very clever adding a kind of view onto it all the quick flashbacks that are graphic and self contained contrast well with the longer shots in some crucial scenes also because this film was shot on location all over the eastern u s it offers an interesting authentic look at america in the late 1960's br br i haven't seen many other films starring ms knight i'm only familiar with her more recent work on television usually playing a mother in law or a old woman it was great seeing her so young beautiful and so wonderfully subtle in this movie it's also kind of a shame that james went on to be as the for the rest of his career because this film that he is capable of so much more than that,positive
i watched this movie a couple of weeks ago and must say i was not impressed not at all i do side with the other posters when it comes to the fine performances but some good performances do not make a good movie br br on the discussion board i found a review by an anonymous poster that captured some of the main points it says is a movie that raises many questions but hardly answers even a few a movie that is disturbing and above every attempt at an experiment and a very conventional sexual drama despite some shocking scenes the brilliant acting of barbara and schneider the partly very impressive editing and the good camera work ritter make up for gross plot holes and some technical slips especially in sound however the boredom the audiences have to deal with for 40 minutes remains unfortunately this is true i wasn't intrigued by the story at all the protagonists are cold ambition less people they do a lot of drugs and have a lot of incestuous sex so what for many times the direction seemed to be virtually non existent not to mention the technical aspect the poor sound quality was enormously disturbing br br what's the point of the movie what's the message behind it all the anonymous reviewer said somehow failed to make a clear point and so the movie remains hanging in mid air without a message thus the boredom i blame on the movie the movie is reserved and cold almost neutral and it doesn't take long to see the flaws for long stretches the characters of sean and are not credible they clearly have difficulties with the english the character of the mute brother is not developed very well some moments are very promising though in the scene where the call boy is skinned the one and only true love scene an intensity is reached that one would love to see the whole movie long as a one has to regret the chances given away again i must agree i did like the final scene especially because of the beautifully captured faces of and schneider but it was nothing compared to the boredom i had to suffer for the first thirty minutes the sex scenes though were staged and perfectly edited br br all in all deed was not my cup of tea a good controversial idea wasted but it was a interesting to see how a movie can be made with practically no money maybe if they had a bigger budget and a more experienced director this would have become a better movie,negative
this is so blatantly a made for tv ripoff of black widow 1987 even the titles are so similar br br if you want a better marrying for money movie check out black widow starring debra russell br br these movie is cheesiness at its best i just had to watch it entirely to see how it ended,negative
explores the of extreme boredom life in a small canadian town in winter as an experiment in extreme absolutely nothing happens as viewed through the eyes of a blank deadpan totally uninteresting protagonist viewers of this film should be prepared to in the style of altered states br br in a groundbreaking study david found that he could predict thirty years in advance by comparing the of nuns as they entered the convent those who eventually suffered the disease wrote in simple direct the were quiet and with little optimism or episodes of joy br br now why did i mention that perhaps my mind begins to slowly unravel watching this interminable film which shows in simple direct style the bleak and stoic life of a small community living next to giant of br br this film became popular at the height of the movement because of its presentation of this community as wounded victims its writer director was soon with disease in the early 1980s and apparently committed suicide,negative
i just saw the movie through netflix i was intrigued by the way the movie was described but in the end it was better i was moved in many different directions while watching this movie i was filled with hurt hate angry pain and finally relief to look at the young man accused would break your heart and convince you that they had the wrong person the of the police makes you because just as the rodney king beating brought to light the brutality of the police this movie brings forth the total lack of moral in these police and the fact that they beat this boy and got away with it only you more br br but i have to tell you i fell in love with the attorney guinness one of my favorite lines when he was telling us what an a hole on of the cops was the cop told him to go on keep sucking on that cancer stick guinness told the cop 'i always have a cigarette before sex ' i was letting him know i was going to screw him br br i have a new respect for some of the law in this country,positive
ok it was a move to rent this flick but i thought i had nothing to lose well i was wrong this is next to the worst i have ever seen crappy actors crappy technical crappy story and so on the soundtrack though isn't to bad that is why i give it a 2 on the vote and not just a 1 and of course the cats are a positive surprise by far the superior actors in this movie do not rent or buy it stay away from it and hope that this horrible horrible film will to some obscure existence and not become a cult classic it most definitely do not deserve any recognition,negative
john adaptation of picture of gray is a fine tribute to oscar talents as both novelist and playwright on screen with some editing it becomes a bit sloppy due to the cutting of 3 crucial scenes from the play one being an important scene between basil and henry showing that time has passed the acting however is brilliant sir john gielgud to his roots as lord henry and although about a decade too old for the role he totally becomes the enigmatic life loving and that brought to life so in his jeremy brett is also strong offering a touching portrait of the artist basil peter while not originally my vision of handles the role with style and grace and later with a convincing strain of cruelty the supporting cast is equally fine former of being earnest co star davies plays his aunt agatha with dignity and makes a touching the wit pathos and tension of work have been remarkably transferred to the screen my only other is with the hair styles many of them seemed out of place looking more like 1970's versions of victorian rather than the actual style overall however the acting and writing this production to a high level of small screen excellence,positive
you'll either love or hate movies such as this thriller set inside a asylum in a far off land it's not so much of a horror show but a of frightening and mental patients scream is the best term to use in what was obviously a popular drive in classic noted for some strange and wicked notice the judge who's about to put on the from behind the doctor r r r not much else can be described here other than some bloody tasty goodness but when you get a chance remember the familiar old saying by the lady get out get out and never ever come back don't you wish you haven't looked in the basement,positive
check out the first 20 minutes even though the suspense hasn't yet kicked in we get a pretty good look at super secret los just a few years after the big bomb test that helped end wwii except for the tight security it looks enough note how it's a tv an obvious regular guy who takes us through security once through it's like any town usa nice homes quiet streets kids going to school and a family tv on the blink later on we see little tommy and little peggy along streets with impressive looking separated by locked gates the movie appears to be saying okay we're tough only because we have to be but basically we're still just folks br br now i expect that was a message to cold war audiences still not used to day research it's a clear effort at popular the one darker note is when mother clarke about her son's mental state he doesn't say when i grow up instead it's if i grow up that note of doubt not only reflects a los reality but also a national one that in had just seen footage of the apocalyptic h bomb note too how fbi agents are portrayed a standard feature of mccarthy era fare when force is needed it's not they but private citizen gene barry who out the early version i suppose of modern era rendition br br once the kidnapping occurs the suspense doesn't let up the intrigue is nicely handled with colorful la locations that keep us guessing the climactic scenes around the cliff may not be plausible as a hiding place but the view of northern new mexico is great then too the ancient stone apartments amount to one of the more exotic backdrops of the decade note also the extensive use of the police helicopter just coming into use as a law tool among an otherwise subdued cast nancy gates remains a presence as teacher ellen never hollywood glamorous she was still a fine actress and winning personality i also expect this was one of director more successful movie efforts and though people have since gotten used to the nuclear threat the movie remains a revealing and riveting document of its time,positive
1st watched 10 28 2007 8 out of 10 jesus simple sweet story of a homeless couple and their daily adventures surviving in the everyday world without a roof over their heads the movie starts with the woman in the story played by being released from prison but we don't know what she was in for or how long she was there she runs across the anti hero of the story and her boyfriend played by sebastian as he's parking cars for change they shack up together underneath an old building with nothing but each other's warmth and a small to their possession he is a drug addict who just tries to make it from one fix to another but she has a strange obsessive attraction to him as a person which we eventually accept he also has some sort of sexually disease so sex for them is out of the question but this doesn't appear to be a problem for either of them she loves this man as he is without question and without him having to change which is a rare find anywhere she earns her keep by carrying a bucket around and shop windows they eat a roll every day and consider it a feast character dreams of a normal life but doesn't expect it to happen and doesn't expect to fit into that role so doesn't think much of it both characters come from extremely broken homes and therefore the audience has sympathy for them despite their without giving up much of the story character continues to while the man gets worse and worse in his drug obsession there is a nice melodramatic conclusion to the story that lifts it up for the masses to enjoy but overall this is a wonderful independent film about a relationship between un that keeps you interested until the end,positive
i received this movie in a pack called 50 all star movies for 18 45 cents each many are good this one was terrible it was a hackneyed done 1000 times before and each time better a crippled ex jock is to coach a team made up of juvenile they learn from him that they can make it if they play by the rules i'm sure the kids and the locals were thrilled to be included in a real tv movie but i can't imagine what the folks that launched and produced this project figured they could bring to this already over beaten subject i kept waiting to see that or but honest it doesn't come avoid this movie forget about the 45 cents i want the minutes of my life back,negative

i have never seen a movie so bad it's not even entertaining enough to be a drinking game br br it's so bad i don't even want to talk about it and that's the whole point of this isn't it please don't bother to see this movie said,negative
bad bad movie so bad it is worth watching as long as you watch this movie knowing that it is bad and you'll be spending 2 hours of your time watching a bad movie it's worth it the special effects are cheesy and the animals look fake and the acting is bad but watching the faces of the actors as they try to look frightened is just very funny if your sister is about to be eaten by a giant dragon wouldn't you do a little something to try and save her if she did get eaten wouldn't you fall on your knees crying your heart out this guy just sat in a chair and ran his fingers through his hair how anti climatic is that maybe he was supposed to be in shock or something he does join his sister in the belly oh didn't mean to spoil it for you,negative
wow this is a touching story first i saw i didn't it and now i have seen the person about whom this story is being told by very is a driven human being who encountered the most opposite emotions in his live on this earth what an extraordinary life this person has led his tale about the capture by the and thus his suffering is horrifying but what's most impressive is his incredible will to survive how could he find the in a haunting way is telling us in full flowing sentences about his terrible ordeal during his he is a great and does him the justice this brave man deserves br br in my opinion needs to fly ' tells it all leaving nothing to the imagination thus making ' rescue dawn ' a superfluous film the horror doesn't get more real than in the words of himself he totally succeeds in painting the picture,positive
is a good example of a basically interesting idea gone very very wrong as far as horror movies go and especially with the of teen movies at the moment a film based around a bunch of teens attending a mysterious freak show is something you could have a lot of fun with br br however the writer decided to make a very straight very boring very plain tale about five teens who become part of the show when midget graves transforms them into freaks using some pathetic machine that them into br br the five teens are picked off one by one until the last guy is left his being that he is unable to join his friends and thus what a load of rubbish br br the are really poor this film has no comedy and it could have been so funny no gore and it could have been so gory no action and no horror and it could have had so much of both br br the director has failed in his duty to even try to make this a little interesting to watch his experience in soft core has obviously disabled any creativity he may ever have had as all the shots are the same with very few edits and little movement the quality overall is poor br br i'm not usually by nudity in movies but believe me the only high point in this film was a pair of breasts,negative
perhaps the best movie ever made by director kevin well his is not on the top of my all time horror list this one is a strange fascinating mixture between pin and child's play both better than this one but not so better sure the plot is contrived and perhaps too predictable but the actors are good allen is very pleasant to the eye and so is god bless her for the shower scene the child actress is very good in the disturbed daughter and the puppet is scary enough to give you a few thrills down the spine for a b movie not bad at all,positive
this is not the true story it is the darkest possible fiction derived from the events it suicide obsession with death a totally gratuitous at organized religion in general and the church in particular and generally provides a pointless world view from which i suppose are intended to walk away in their poverty and more hopeful in their br br utter trash though performed by a capable cast that anyone would suggest this is a true rendering however is very much false advertising you want the real story rent that's the real story see if you can find any between the facts presented in either case i only found one the girls who made the original photographs were pre,negative

is one of the movies where you find the loop holes in indian cinema here is one good example to show how excellent writers directors and actors to the producers here is one of the most wonderful actors acting in a movie about a real story in the seriousness of the film is slaughtered with sub standard comic scenes and songs there is this character who in reality is the son of the producer of the film hence he doesn't have a hair cut despite his officer asking him to do so this kid doesn't know what is acting and he is the hero of the movie god help indian cinema with such producers br br this movie is a pathetic display of what happens in a sensible viewer can understand the constraints of such wonderful writers actors and directors who want to share their real life experiences but the unfortunate part is that a movie about the highest ranks in indian turns out to be a pathetic display that only makes one think that the movie was stupid br br we should such producers in the film industry and way for good cinema,negative
things was one of my favorite stephen king books but this movie is one of the worst book to film adaptations i have ever seen they changed so many things around that it made me sick even the concept of the book being deception things not always what they appear reminder throughout the book was not shown in the movie it was enjoyable as many stephen king films are but as many stephen king films this one did not follow the book and became a piece of hollywood trailer trash 2 10,negative

joseph novel heart of darkness had a vivid sense of description that made this book astonishing when reading this book i had every scene totally drawn out in my head and i knew what every character looked like this book had many pieces and when i finished reading this book it seemed as the puzzle had been completed after i finished reading heat of darkness i watched the movie which was a mistake the movie cut out so many substantial parts for example in the novel waited a very long time for the to come for him to fix his boat this was a big source of in the movie that part was just left out the movie added more parts that were useless and made no sense for example when was talking to at the end of the book and the neck and killed him what purpose did that scene have other than to make the audience feel sorry for the monkey it's as if the script writer didn't even read the whole book and just put the parts that he read in the movie if i had not read the novel before i had watched the movie i would have been thoroughly confused the book was amazing and it is truly a classic in american literature but the movie could have been nominated for the worst picture in the awards,negative
i went to see this 3 nights ago here in ireland it was the world premiere of it in the tiny cinema in the arts centre as part of the film festival br br i found strange fruit to be an excellent movie it is a bit rough around the edges but for a low budget movie that is to be expected in general the acting particularly from the main lead kent is wonderful the cinematography and direction excellent and the script hugely entertaining and thought provoking with some nice set ups and witty dialogue br br the ending was a bit sudden with no conclusion given to characters and events once the finale came to its gripping end but perhaps that's what the filmmakers were going for it certainly did make the movie more unsettling i did like the fact that the main character never came to terms with his mother on screen it leaves you wondering whether or not he ever will as in real life sometimes these things are never settled this was a good choice to leave it rather than it up br br taut and suspenseful throughout strange fruit is a hugely ambitious debut and i have high hopes for what the writer director kyle will next he and his colleagues are a talent worth watching br br i hope strange fruit gets a wider release soon as more people deserve to see this movie an above average thriller with some original and insightful twists on and racism in america's deep south br br highly recommended 7 10,negative

i remember years ago used to show this movie in a very cut form i it down on video a couple of years ago and viewed it again the film although slow and slightly odd the mountain men look very strange the atmosphere was effective it's one of my favorite slasher films and i have no idea where an uncut version can be found currently deleted everywhere except the usa where it was accidentally put on a horror it's a shame you cannot get this movie as it was meant to be seen wrong turn the recent stan winston produced movie owes a great deal to just before dawn one of the better 80's slasher films and deserves to be seen by a wider audience,positive
i must have missed a part of this movie i found myself asking who is this and when did that happen it seemed to jump around but i kept watching for fear i was missing something and it would all be explained to me i loved but this movie made no sense to me at all i did love all the actors but what happened to the rest of the movie it made me go what at the beginning of each part as far as the scenery i thought it was fine it made me feel though like i was through a book and leaving pages out the ending had me a little confused too although i imagine the boy was waiting for his father and was meant to leave you wondering if his father would finally come home to his son and be a father since his mother was now gone i would like to read the book just to see what i missed in the movie i don't expect this one to win any awards,negative

this movie has been a classic in my part of the country because it was filmed in my own small town i now have many friends who are guards at dixon and i myself worked for 3 at the store next to the store the old lady was at however this is still the dumbest movie ever made destined to be introduced by gilbert or if it hasn't been already a bit of trivia doesn't even have and dixon prison is a medium security facility and machine the classic seduction scene is perhaps the most amusing piece of writing i've ever seen especially with the suspenseful build up,negative

the best screen performance ever by george c scott the screenplay by the irony dialogue is near perfect where do you train your ' is wonderful as the angel who saves scott from doom as is the whole cast it's a hilarious and serious movie it is a movie of the period the 60's but it is not in any sense dated what it is about the chaos and of the system vs the sanity of the individual is timeless and the we nothing we cure nothing monologue delivered actually as no one else but scott could with its references to and other of modern science could literally have been written this morning br br,positive

this film has some nice special effects apart the japanese to a degree that would humble godzilla the two leads also put in above par performances apart from that it is all a bit in this understated disaster flick the in the pacing are bizarre at one point we have sinking into the sea and snow falling on the rest of japan while is buried under an immense yet elsewhere in the country people are still around and ice cream when another rolls in also manages to travel great without any or even a in his cream shirt other people turn up with burns ripped clothes and mud on their faces br br the of the film is both touching and sacrifice in his final evening with is a touch of seldom seen in this genre these days however the ill on the japanese psyche and the seduction of death and the fact that japan is abandoned by everyone and has no friends in the last instance hint at a darker paranoia that japanese concerns regarding their status in the world br br sadly the final sequence is a rip off of edited with a cookie cutter br br finally my own particular bug bear the heavy handed product placement for this time around it is mad or is he scientist who gets to be the poster boy for japan at one point he manages to light up below the ocean surface in a sub the size of a phone box a break,negative
this movie to be a character study of some reviewers have been into assuming that because is depicted the film is psychologically deep actually considering the material it is surprisingly tedious and shallow with no substance why is the main character the way she is you won't find out from the script for a better treatment of the same theme and a more entertaining movie try belle de,negative
there is as many reviews have observed a strong dark streak to this movie the director it most recalls to me is john yeah go ahead and about what a i am has the gift of exploring things in a bleak gray kind of way then turning round and exploring the horrors of life with a lighthearted touch br br the cast is without exception above average thomas gibson as david is outstanding as the moody and self center around whom the rest of the characters he talks a good but his actions reflect more love in his character than he is willing to acknowledge gibson was already a strong and subtle actor in 1993 it was difficult to look at him and see greg let alone agent of criminal minds br br perhaps not the best scene but the one i enjoy most my scene is the section where candy is expecting a visitor and one person after another shows up at the door as environment further and further out of control david just grows and more enthusiastic like a gen x,positive
i saw sea of dust as part of a nyc screening audience several years ago i enjoyed the film at that time so i was a little confused by some of the that had been made since perhaps it's my memory but there seemed to be of exposition missing from the version that was shown at the island film festival i'm really not sure which version i prefer but i can honestly say that i found something to appreciate it both br br let me begin by warning everyone that this is not a popcorn movie although it's been promoted as a hammer films tribute people expecting a showdown between van and dracula are going to be sorely disappointed there's some but no nudity a of the british production later movies and while sea of dust is filled with gorgeous eye candy it really is shot like a sixties film and features hammer ingrid pitt it's not like any of the pictures in tone or execution this film is very dark very confusing and at times very funny i don't remember the earlier version being quite as nutty as this one but that's not a bad thing especially the showdown in the black forest that plays like a three stooges short and some of ms are quite entertaining it's like somebody wound her up and turned her loose br br the of this film doesn't lie with the borrowed details though it's in the ideas as an occasional sci fi channel viewer i've regularly taken the network to task for its one note variations on a theme cgi monster kills then gets destroyed sea of dust is so full of ideas that you start to trip over them after a while br br but don't get me wrong i'm not complaining if anything i applaud these guys for making such an low budget picture and for having the courage to pack it with so many concepts it's not going to be a for people who hate to think at the movies you know who you are but for the rest of us those of us who are tired of the formula of modern horror films the predictability the lack of respect for the audience this may just be your ticket,positive
this film is worthwhile despite what you may hear the performance of marie i hope i am spelling it right as a drunken old is reason enough to see this film it is an amazing performance she is in a drunken in three scenes for a good long while and she never does the same thing twice you can actually smell the alcohol when she is done amazing and greta of course speaks her first lines on film and great the eugene o'neill story is solid and like most o'neill stories very deep and intense this is not light entertainment but if you appreciate those great character actors from the 30's and 40's you will like it some of the film is technically fuzzy but all in all worthwhile,positive
i wanted to love this movie everything seemed to be in place for an enjoyable if not groundbreaking film it was set in southern france good looking and recognizable actors led the cast and i really admired the vibrant african costumes the and music despite all this i didn't love it movies are supposed to convey their meaning at the first viewing but secret laughter doesn't do that and matthew as played by long and both of whom have played romantic leads before and should have known better as much warmth and passion as fish i used deliberately because it was one of a few too few strong lines and moments throughout the film another winner was when catches matthew around her apartment he finds a book of hers with her first name written on it and says your name is i never knew then he insists that she call him by his christian name i watched this scene as matthew asked over and over to say my name realizing that up until that moment they always called each other by their last names i thought this was a turning point for the film and expected that it get better it didn't why do and matthew always seem to stand at ten even in that say my name scene what does matthew like about aside from her obvious beauty and why would a sensible woman like fall for a comic book writer who regards his marriage as something he can put on hold when a beautiful exotic comes along and i'd like to add that it was a little hard for me to get behind a romance built on adultery yes jenny is a vicious but if i were in her shoes but i'd probably match her cruella tactics to stop my husband from believe it the story hints at painful past but never fully explores it some critics say seemed a little awkward here and i agree for goodness sake the actor more longing and passion as that early 19th century mr and while wearing those hideous as for long who did shine in jones' there were times when she seemed to concentrate more on her accent than playing her character even so there were many moments – the my scene among them – when she was in total control and came across really well yet is not without its redeeming qualities and i've found that it grew on me with more viewings was well portrayed as supportive and well meaning even if she doesn't fully understand attraction to matthew i absolutely loved it when faced off with mama in those scenes my husband liked it and usually he's the first to sigh and throw insults at the screen if he doesn't like what is going on he even at the scene when sammy asked matthew some very frank questions about sex so there you have it was good enough to entertain an like my but an avid like myself will need more than one viewing to appreciate what the director and writer were trying to convey,positive
this is one creepy underrated gem with chilling performances and a fantastic finale all the characters are great and the story was awesome plus i thought the ending was really cool the plot was great and it never bored me plus while the child actors were bad they gave me the creeps this happened to be on the space channel a while ago so i decided to check it out and tape it i read some good reviews from fellow horror fans i must say i agree with them it's very creepy and suspenseful plus martin was fantastic in his role as the satan it has tons of creepy atmosphere and it keeps you guessing throughout plus all the characters were very likable and you really start to root for ben and his family it has plenty of disturbing moments and the film really shocked me at times plus it's extremely well made on a low budget this is one creepy underrated gem with chilling performances and a fantastic finale i highly recommend this one the direction is very good bernard does a very good job here with great camera work creating a lot of creepy atmosphere and keeping the film at a very fast pace is a little bit of blood and gore we get a severed leg lots of bloody corpses bloody throat and and an the acting is excellent martin is fantastic here as the satan he is extremely creepy very convincing was quite chilling was extremely intense seemed to be enjoying himself and just did a fantastic job overall charles is great as the dad he was very caring very likable and gave a good show i liked him lots l q jones is awesome as the sheriff he was funny on top of things looked very young had a cool character and just did an awesome job overall is good as the girlfriend and did what she had to do pretty well charles robinson to the extreme as the priest and didn't convince me one bit and that laugh of his was especially bad is actually decent as the daughter she was somewhat likable and only got on my nerves a couple times i rather liked her moore was goofy but very likable in his role as i him rest of the cast do good overall i highly recommend it 1 2 out of 5,positive

after reading so many glowing reports of serve them all my i went out and bought it for christmas a waste of money i'm afraid i was looking forward to something in the same league as and some of the few other great productions from british television but this is decidedly not among them br br the characters are all too good to be true in a very predictable plot and with the most trite and eye rolling script i've heard in years yes it has its moments but they are very thin on the ground the lead actor is interesting mostly because of his uncanny resemblance to anthony andrews sebastian in only dark but his talents are wasted on a character who is self important and his is attributed to the effects of his experiences in the during he does the early episodes centered around his nervous condition better than he does playing the the clean do later on br br the women are completely unbelievable as in un real his first wife is annoyingly and the girlfriend the perfect sophisticated slut and the last lady a of political the most interesting characters are alan and one of the other masters named i forget the actor's name br br the high minded of the script is typical andrew davies screen writer in his early years and becomes tiresome within the first two episodes this mini series is 11 episodes long by episode 4 i just wanted to get through the thing br br the music is equally tedious limited mostly to one piano tune and a sung by boys during the credits no expense was on the location settings which gives some visual relief to an otherwise excruciating viewing experience br br i like stories of this sort as a rule and am very disappointed at the nature of this series if you want to watch something riveting about and its after effects there are many other far vehicles to rent or buy one that comes to mind is 'the unknown from 1998 the characters in that masterpiece theater presentation are real and fascinating and move one unlike the 2 dimensional puppets in serve them all my days ' as for films on schools stick to mr or br br i know this goes against the general view of this mini series but i strongly recommend thinking twice before out 80 00 to media for their 4 dvd set 2 of which on my set had problems with and skipping,negative

i don't want to write too much about the film but basically it's an action comedy with a little bit of romance thrown in about two men who come together in unlikely circumstances and become highway men together fantastic performance by robert and everybody else involved a brilliant who really makes you hate him some great comical lines actually laugh out loud amazing action and a great plot choice of music and ambiance all fantastic basically brilliantly directed and written i recommend this film to anyone who likes a good british movie or a good bit of action i don't know why the film never took off i thought it got no where near as much recognition as it deserved if for nothing else watch this film for one of the greatest of all time not to give anything away but this one really the heart beating,positive
another movie that makes the story of the beach boys worse than it is i especially remember the scene when brian says he's to quit and the other boys calls him i didn't happen like that and like the movie in the beginning is that some scenes are over a movie about the beach boys doesn't have to be that way because a lot of things happened anyway the sad thing is that this movie gives the wrong picture about the boys to those who ain't so familiar with the group hard core fans like myself knew that this isn't the entire true story and that's why i gave it a low rating 3 however it is the best movie about the beach boys i've seen so far that says quite a bit about the other movies if you want the truth i recommend the documentary endless harmony,negative
i'd heard about this movie but didn't see it until my daughter who saw it on a flight to australia told me it was a great movie i was interested in seeing whether rupert away from harry potter was showing the promise you see in the potter movies i wasn't disappointed he's become a fine actor showing a range in driving lessons from a shy boy being beaten down by an over bearing obsessive mother to a young man finding himself to be worthy of his own and other's going over lines from plays and poetry with his aging actress it's obvious that he's ready to take on much more complex roles in films and the stage but the jewel of this movie was julie i'd seen her previously in the potter movies billy elliott and girls and loved her in driving lessons as she does lines from poetry and shakespeare i was by her timing command of the language and body language i'm hoping it was make up as she portrays an older woman with though no mention of it is made in the movie as a nurse i can say that she did this perfectly portraying a woman on the brink of old age but to the past that she in this is one of the best movies i've seen in a long time and i wish i'd seen it in a theatre first but i doubt it ever played anywhere here in we miss out on so many of these types of movies here,positive
an apt description by spock of an all powerful into whose fall the crew of the enterprise this was one of space our starship should have avoided first kirk simply disappear off the bridge a landing party follows them to the surface of an unknown planet and encounter a seemingly man dressed in from an earth of many centuries past but he demonstrates abilities of someone or something far beyond human and doesn't register on medical the officers manage to escape back to the ship but like some bad penny keeps popping up he brings them all back including some female to continue his games the dilemma now takes on elements of 'the most dangerous out in space and there's an even aspect to the utter before such power br br what really makes this a great episode is the memorable performance by guest star campbell as the but not all knowing alien his character is obviously an early version of q who was introduced 20 years later in the pilot for the series confrontation scene with spock stands out among all the strange drama which unfolds as usual kirk quickly begins to look for possible weaknesses in his new nemesis despite being quite the answers to exactly what or who is are right in front of us the whole time so when we do learn the truth it makes complete sense in view of pitch perfect acting he himself constantly before some unknown audience on things with a flair which is but not quite right we can't quite pin it down at first but there's something missing here every few minutes his tone becomes sinister and the crew now appears to be in serious danger in a way you can't take your eyes off him always waiting to see what he does next actor john de captured that similar tone as q on the next generation series,positive
simon pg 13 thriller about a babysitter who gets disturbing prank calls while sitting at a mansion is neither original nor exciting enough to be called a good film although there are some elements of suspense good eye candy and decent characters the film is just another i know what you did last summer as it falls short of being taken seriously the performances were alright but nothing special with this flick i say skip it unless you are looking for a mediocre movie you can find better films than this on lifetime sometimes okay maybe not lifetime but at least usa or haha br br 7 10,positive
less than two hundred and fifty years ago the last of the great pirates wrote their names in blood and fire across the pages of history this is the story of a captain whose name for one short year struck terror in the hearts of and from the of the to the houses of london br br hmm that opening to the film sounds like we are in for one hell of a of a movie doesn't it well it's not tho it's not totally without value as a piece out of 20th century fox anne of the is adapted by philip dunne arthur from a short story written by herbert direction is by jacques the score is by and harry jackson is providing the technicolor photography jean peters is in the titular title role of anne aka captain and support comes from louis debra herbert marshall thomas james robertson justice br br originally meant to be be based on true life pirate anne the film ultimately turns out to be a tale of a woman seeking identity and finding herself in the male led world of and sea based filled with clichés and over familiar set pieces the film also suffers from a cast that is largely peters gives it a right good go and lights up the screen with beauty while robertson justice although underused actually looks the part and doesn't like the rest of the male cast does some reviewers have desperately tried to dig deep into the film to find intelligence and hidden meanings purely because it's in the directing chair but there is no depth here this is merely a job for a professional one granted but its plotted and actually lacking to go with the in the action stakes br br at best 4 10,negative
what kind i say about this movie well for starters i thought that this film was okay not the greatest not worst i said this cause i thought that the script was great and original really different and refreshing now i wouldn't say that it's the greatest film that i've seeing cause of the acting the actors that played each role seems that they played them without emotions as if they took the life out of them when the wife laughed or cried this didn't look real to me for some reason that's just an example but sincerely all the characters didn't act real at all i wish i could say more positive things about this film so you guys can see it at least once but how can i do that since i know that i'm not going to see this movie again i rented this film from the library of my school without hearing anything about the film itself or the director i took a chance because the story that was describe on the back sounded really interesting and it really was,positive
i saw heaven ship at the 2006 cinema festival in italy what a great movie this danish saga is the stirring tale of the first trip to mars in an era when hasn't been the spaceship hasn't got a radio and the heroes are brought back from the landing field via even the are delightful some of them written in in the original danish br br the actors' performances are laughable largely hand to brow but the sets are astonishing easily anything done by georges a decade earlier or in die im a decade later of course the plot is simplistic the crew consist of seven thin guys and one fat guess which one cracks interestingly everyone in this movie except the dubious professor believes in god even the martians br br the have the sense to acknowledge that a trip to mars is no the title cards establish that it takes the scientists two years to build their spaceship which has an and six months to reach mars during the construction sequence there's one extremely impressive set up which must have been choreographed dozens of workers all through the in different directions with no and no the danish scientists their ship and set course for mars even though the moon and are closer when the ship which flies not lands on mars it is by martians who turn out to be all highly developed and as a highly developed meat eater i that part br br conveniently enough mars turns out to have an atmosphere just like as well as equal gravity in an exterior shot of the martian landscape the apparent when seen from mars is the same as it is when viewed from earth i also couldn't help that all the wise elder martians are male in fact female are thin on the ground here both the earth born hero and the martian maiden are the martians speak a universal language wear on their and the earth with a globe of earth which of course they hold with its north pole br br that martian maiden is played by an beautiful danish actress i'll have some of that danish we see a martian dance of which might have been or ludicrous but is actually quite touching and beautiful also the martian funeral scene features one shot which reminded me of a sequence in the seventh seal i wonder if bergman saw this film br br has a few flaws but its production design and its other merits very far its the olsen who is named in the credits and who appears in a brief prologue is no relation to vaudeville partner from i would give a 12 but the scale tops off at 10 so a full 10 out of 10 for this delightful trip to mars the blonde planet,positive
i am in a movie club at my school and i was forced to sit and watch this utterly dismal film the film's story is not dismal but the entire movie itself is exceedingly dismal the acting was absolutely dreadful the children were overly whiny a metal pole could have done a better job i wanted desperately to fall asleep but because the television was so loud i was kept from peace the are neither cute nor are they funny the drama is laugh worthy i cannot remember when i saw a more dreadful film the story is weak thin predictable and completely fake the adults try to be good actors but they just can't seem to break through stereotypes the girl even appears to want to leave the film via falling off a hill during the movie in order to leave it i don't blame her micheal anderson should apologize for this film not just to me but to everyone else who was forced to sit through this awful film in fact i apologize to you even if i had nothing to do with this project i apologize for this film because this means at least someone will this film even surpasses the of films that of rob schneider and the girls i would even go as far to say that it is even worse that collection of films but that's pushing it just please don't see this film or else you'll be pushed to write a review similar to this one on how awful this film is i'm very sorry,negative
i had only written one review on imdb prior to this as i consider most games as of the time and effort curse of monkey island is different br br having played and been impressed by monkey 1 and 2 i had great expectations for the third release and was not disappointed the first thing that hit me was the improved graphics don't get me wrong for games made in 1990 and 1991 respectively monkey 1 and 2 were ground breaking and provided the goods well but steps up and delivers a superb cartoon style game play which is both fun and satisfying all scenes and settings have been carefully crafted and well thought out and suit this type of game perfectly the animation cgi is a mixture of realism and exaggeration a fantastic combination in this case br br for me the script has been crucial in the success of the previous two games the script is clever appropriate and above all absolutely hilarious added to this the script is now audio unlike the previous two where speech is displayed in text format at the bottom of the screen dominic voice is perfect for witty clear and slightly naive all other voice talents fit their characters perfectly especially earl who is the voice behind i loved every single character throughout the game not just their personalities and wit but the way each character is animated superbly and whilst on the subject of audio effects the soundtrack is worth a mention the for monkey 1 and 2 were both and despite this were very effective at giving atmosphere and representing a change in mood soundtrack is once again a step up each scene is by a catchy subtle playful and if that's a word tune with a change in setting or mood the music also adding to the entertainment and amusement that the game offers br br the whole idea behind monkey island is to solve and problems in order to progress this might sound easy but is actually in many places some may be put off by the level of logic and amount of thinking that goes into monkey island but in reality this makes the game even more entertaining and fun and also adds to the replay value the option of the curse of monkey island or the curse of monkey island mega monkey which involves and more suits players of all abilities and also gives good cause to play the game at least twice whatever difficulty level you choose you are guaranteed a different game each time you replay with numerous speech and other to solve that don't affect the outcome of the game but are just there for fun the most entertaining section of the game is ship combat and the sword fights that follow these were particularly well thought out and make the game completely worthwhile add to this a story that is non violent and suitable for all ages which will keep you hooked and wanting more until the very end br br finally in conclusion a uniquely special mention must go to the of this game the way each complex puzzle and problem is thought out is simply astonishing whilst gathering up items and objects during game play you can't see how each one is going to help you progress but with a little thought and present themselves and for that the of must be highly br br 10 10 for the best game i have ever played not an exaggeration,positive
approach itself in all his titles from the worst to the best he doesn't care or has no clue about art all he cares is to make people think they've got a kick in the by watching his movies the problem is the effort is way too evident and as events unfold with all the senseless exaggeration into them the effort fails badly br br on this turkish movie who knows where the original or originals were made since it felt extremely to me is trying to be some sort of tarantino mr tarantino if you're reading this please watch the movie for the best comedy of your life he doesn't use subtle moves to do that all he does is to use extreme stuff and it gets absurd and laughable br br as the guy with the cow hair is just hilarious i'm hoping to meet him in person and ask how he felt about this movie himself because i really found the role insulting for him her was also for and did nothing other than making everything look fake another specifically idiotic aspect of this movie was the 100 pace setting when things need to be taken slowly scenes flow abruptly and at other times it makes you sleepy to watch the slow going on br br if is so deeply in love with lame hollywood he should use michael as his name instead even such a move wouldn't be half as ludicrous as what he has done on this movie he should first learn not to imitate directors whose levels he'll never approach then realize he's not in hollywood and then take private lessons from or on how to lay the flow of ideas out in the plot this useless movie couldn't be saved even by those but perhaps he can make watchable movies in the future by taking these steps br br by the way i've seen some infamous failures such as propaganda and and i still can't from saying this one was the worst turkish movie ever,negative
the make or break of a love story for me is whether or not i like the characters and also if they click with each other matt is pretty unlikeable seemingly lazy and a he's been hurt badly by his dysfunctional mom and this makes him a little easier to take i guess i liked the details of his he was believable he by that nail amy he acts so cool around amy that he strikes out twice when they do talk he can't show her who he really is she and then him at just the right moments she seems so mature and strong that the traits of hers that come out later didn't seem to fit for me i found her to be incredibly sexy and pretty girl next door pretty i call it so i was going to like this movie unless it really screwed up br br funny things happen with the coach but relationship with the other coach was inspiring the football scenes at the end were matt doesn't carry the ball but seems to be a back folks he isn't the right size he's fifty pounds too light for that position but i thought his acting was skilled i measure that by the way i wanted to his neck a couple of times during his scenes with meredith monroe the film was all right meredith m was better than all right,positive
this representation of the popular children's story on film is pretty pathetic to watch i know it is one of the earliest efforts at but this 15 minute picture is unimaginative and poorly shot the great train robbery which i also commented on is much more creative and exciting to watch br br we see little long haired jack trade a cow 2 men in a cow suit for a of from a and later a grows from where his mom throws them in the yard i guess poor jack the wrong kind jack dreams of a actually it seems to be a chicken and golden egg and the next day climbs the stalk into heaven br br there is no effort made to be creative in this film the stalk looks like a rope with leaves on it the giant is just a tall guy in a home with nothing large in comparison to jack and the climax to the film where jack makes his escape with the chicken and its golden egg is miserable as a stuffed falls from out of in place of the giant and then the actor takes its place rising up on his feet in a exaggerated death dance like in most early films the covered rope comes down from above and neatly on the giants br br watch something else,negative
as a child of the 80's like so many of the other reviewers here i hated the original v and v the final battle i own both on vhs and never hook up the vcr to watch them i do remember not liking this short lived series very much but i couldn't remember why so i rented the first disc by the third episode i had my memory it's terrible the writing is beyond horrid it's not even fun they had a lot of material to work with here but it seemed like they just didn't know what to do so they turned it into of our lives with lizard how cool and full of potential is the concept of elizabeth the all they could think of to do is grow her into a whiny boring teenager to compete with her mother marc singer looked less embarrassed to be in ii than he did when he was trapped in this drivel point is whether you're one of the younger folk who's just discovered v or one of us older sci fi fans looking to some old fun spare yourself and skip this,negative
this parody is cleverly done from the songs express yourself becomes expose yourself like a is now party in my pants and is now vague to the fake interviews of the cast of the show this movie is hilarious remember madonna saying she didn't know about the rain season in asia in this one she doesn't know about the season it is a precious jewel they got a lot of money on that spoof and it pays off highly recommended,positive
i do not remember at least in the last ten years or so a movie that i have liked less than mama from the non existent acting to the atrocious singing i was cringing at least once per minute i don't believe i could even recall one brief segment that i i do know that i will never watch this disaster again i cannot believe that with such high expectations due to the talent colin meryl streep pierce brosnan that a movie could be such a flop but to see the lack of acting skills shown the seemingly drug induced dancing and then horrors of horrors to hear the singing of pierce brosnan i cannot see how this movie will not make it into the hall of shame definitely a movie that never should have been made and just in case you missed it the first time one that i will never watch again,negative
in landscape after the battle in the second era of his filmmaking career depicts emotional and psychological confusion in a former nazi prison in freed immediately after the wwii br br a hand held camera explores a lot of extreme close ups and vivid colors the end credit as on of train cars concludes the film the soundtrack is great except which sounds tacky in pop art fashion in the opening sequence,positive
this film has the guts to suggest that it might be best to simply accept your life as it is and keep smiling anyway as one who is more excited by the idea of taking charge of one's life and moving forward i felt slapped in the face but that's okay i don't have to agree with a movie to love it and respect it great acting by streep and hurt and everyone else really and some wonderfully quirky scenes a serious film and take a,positive
this movie desperate was i'm not quite sure how to even put it into words was this supposed to be a comedy i couldn't stop laughing at how absolutely ridiculous it was i love michael keaton and i cannot actually comprehend that he did this they did a good job at keeping my attention because i couldn't wait to see how much more ridiculous it was going to get minute by minute i actually just on this site so that i could get this out i don't review movies i don't have time for this but i cannot let this go knowing i haven't done my civil duty by letting people those who have an iq of 85 and above know that this is no action thriller it is honest to goodness funny you people that actually got thrills off of this scare me go watch a good movie like million dollar baby clint eastwood's acting is not superb but i was at the end exercise your brain america,negative
i realise it's very hard to live up to the first the 10 movie which was and personally not a heston fan but wow this movie mini series was disappointing even the animated the prince of egypt was better br br the one thing that threw me off was compared to version paul version just seemed so weak and un like the acting really wasn't that great for a modern adaptation i was expecting something better it just didn't look as stunning visually as the first one i guess they were running on a tight budget or something there's an occasional voice over narrator which i found strange and unnecessary it also broke up the flow of the story and um god's voice lines were kinda weird,negative
ever since i've been allowed to play once again it's been impossible to get my mind off it i'm surprised i could have gone without it it is without a doubt one of the greatest games of all time i have never played any other shooting games but i know that this one rules above all most people blame it for too much violence but i find that ridiculous there may be a few graphic antics but there's far worse out there br br most importantly it's fun with an awesome of weapons such as the and the classic golden gun you'll go through several challenging levels from the movie crucial and off of guards there are tons of awesome to get and even two secret levels that you will only earn if you have the true skill is also one of the greatest games ever as well you can choose several characters from the movie classic villains from old movies baron may day and jaws and guards in the game chances are you and your partner s will be laughing so hard as you blow each other away that you'll look like bart and lisa simpson watching an episode of the itchy and show br br so if you don't have the game don't rent it just buy it it's too good to be true for cool stuff check out website every james bond lover will dig this game big time,positive

me and my friend read the and watched the trailer and were very interested and excited to go rent this movie bad idea we thought a movie with actors that influential would have been a sure hit but our expectations fell extremely short first of all the trailer and are misleading to the point of lies the movie started out slow for the first 1 1 2 hours reminder its about two hours long and when it finally started to gain momentum it sucked plus the plots were very hard to follow it confused us because it kept skipping from one story to another in random order the characters where not very realistic when it came to reality sure the mum and son could be actual people in reality but everyone else seemed to be one extreme or the other if your a person who likes sick twisted unusual movies then go for it but we advise not wasting two hours of you life you cant get back no one told us that,negative
fulci is one of my all time favorite italian splatter directors he is also a very good story mixing horror the supernatural and psychedelic themes altogether very well this film was truly his last great story before he directed such as voices from beyond the story is simple as fulci plays himself a horror director after years of filming splatter and gore films it seems that fulci starts to suffer a breakdown in which he starts about people being slaughtered he decides to see a psychiatrist who only makes matters worse when he convinces fulci that he is killing people br br fulci used gore scenes from several pictures around the same time these films i don't believe he directed but certainly produced some of those films are massacre directed by burial ground touch of death directed by fulci the murders secret and i can't remember the rest of the films br br nightmare concert is a very underrated film even by fulci fans but i loved this movie and have watched it many times already it is sad that fulci didn't get a chance to direct anything worth while after this but nonetheless this is a great film and i do recommend it to any fulci fan whether you like it or not 9 10 stars,positive
anyone who has seen the piece of steaming poo called understands my title and i feel for you this movie wasn't just bad it was painful the book was stupid the script was even dumber and the cast was terrible dylan walsh has it julia roberts dumped your ass cause this movie blew so bad huge killer talking hmmm sounds like a hit oh tim accent is so bad in this movie i would prefer being deaf i recommend this movie to looking to after a heavy meal or patients who just need that one more reason to die if this is faithful to the book i would say lets have us a good old fashion book burning and destroy every copy if future generations look back and find this garbage how would we explain ourselves listen to the others who hated this movie don't watch it run away do not watch this movie if you think it is full of action or suspense or cool effects you are wrong if you think it blows more than nicole ritchie you'd be right so if you still are going to watch i mean i say do it after you just took 50,negative
seriously you've just got to see this movie to understand everything that is wrong with it it came out during the time period where everybody was trying to make family movies that everyone could enjoy the little mr etc yet it lacked any charisma or enthusiasm every single character in the movie is driven by rage with the exception of mother who shows only and possibly at the tired this movie enjoys br br to put it simply the biggest flaw in the film was not the acting nor the filming but most notably the writing the lines we receive are reminiscent of disney classics although this film lacks the whole walt managed to pull off dad john ritter makes you mad without even doing anything simply because he allows junior to run around and only gives him a stern warning when he tapes a 200 pound to a board br br also grandfather is particularly excruciating for those of you who saw the first one found it nauseating and thus did not see the second one big ben as he is referred to in this movie is still a total he basically into john house himself in room even though he says that he hates junior and basically does nothing to the film's speed or to support the film in any way rather he off the audience by being a lazy free br br finally we are introduced to a wide variety of new characters such as the smug obnoxious who carries dynamite in her which she first lights then hands to junior who simply stares wide eyed at also gilbert returns in this film this time playing the obnoxious principal at new school if gilbert ain't enough to get the point across i will put it simply this film br br 2 10 stars because the actor's shine through the film even though the script sucks,negative
even with only 6 000 bucks and a cast of part time actors christopher nolan was a master nolan is in my opinion the next great and our first taste of nolan doesn't that br br none of the problems that constantly and the low budget independent picture haunt nolan and crew our actors are inexperienced and young but they deliver and engage us in this story in all honesty i think following is best screenplay because it is the one he had the most control over it's a beautifully imagined film it takes us into a world where we don't feel limited by the constraints of budget the dialogue and atmosphere is bold and intelligent br br trademark method of telling the story out of continuity is applied for the first time here and here it is done in a way that throws the story full out at you with and the you have to think a bit to truly get a complete grasp on the genius but nolan doesn't try to confuse people with his prototype film we can time by the appearance of our protagonist this method of telling a story is both creative and engaging i am glad that nolan has had so much success with it because his films become more than what they could be with this method the pay offs in the and would not have been thrilling at all if the movie was told in a conventional format this idea has been done with success before but nolan has truly made it his own br br the script here is finest i had some doubts about his writing abilities i all ways imagined that his brother was the writing talent but he proves me wrong with following it is a thought provoking story which makes interesting observations of people and how they function about and how it can lead you to discover what makes people actually sounds plausible br br my only real complaint is the camera work gets shaky at times but it doesn't take away anything from the story or the acting br br following is the first film of the man who will 21st century film making at it's finest,positive
i tend to get furious when hearing about lucio reputation as a director too often he's as a no talented filmmaker only out to shock and disgust entire audiences with images of pure gore true his films contain more explicit filth and sickness as your average mainstream american production but his films always are of wide range and the plots are morbid don't torture a is yet another story this film is a pure gem of the italian shock cinema i easily dare to call this film a an old fashioned giallo that includes all brilliant aspects of genuine horror the film shows the search for a serial murderer in a small italian mountain town the bodies of 3 young boys are found horribly there are quite a lot of pseudo in the town but every trail leads to nowhere among the suspects are a greedy bum and a scary woman obsessed by and voodoo like a true mastermind fulci knows to find the right creepy tone for his film he portrays the small town as a claustrophobic and setting of macabre happenings supported by a soundtrack fulci also develops himself as a genius here the script always is one step ahead of you and the complex plot will you more than once in other words this is a unique giallo horror slash murder mystery the gore isn't presented as grotesque and explicit as in later among them are the legendary zombie 2 the beyond and the new york although there still are a few nauseating and hard to watch shock sequences shown br br don't torture a is the most compelling and effective achievement lucio fulci ever brought forward and it easily ranks among the greatest italian horror movies ever made right next to the masterpieces made by mario and the film is fascinating from start to finish some plot aspects are realistic and the tension is at all times a must see for horror fans and an absolute for italian shock lovers,positive
i just do not see what is so bad about this movie i loved this movie i thought this movie was the best film in the series though part 3 is the best in the series i still gave this film 10 out of 10 because it is great i don't see what everyone hates this movie who would not want to see just a little bit of action i wished that brad brown would of appeared in this one because it might of made it a little better those who like a little bit of drama because wait i won't tell you you will just have to watch it this film also contains a few popular actors who are i won't tell you because i hate it when people give spoilers so i do not want to be one of those people well i guess that is all i have to say about this movie,positive
this was without a doubt the worse horror movie i have ever seen forget the fact that the story had little to do with the facts of ed ed story is horrific this movie ignored the facts and way off course acting on all levels was pathetic story again for some unknown reason didn't go into the horrific facts could have been so scary if it would have stuck to the facts what were they thinking terrible movie steve version was much much better don't waste a penny on this terribly made flick and why ignore the reality of the horrific events that alone would make for a great story man makes you wonder why this would ever be for release why spend so much money on a movie that will never make a penny except for my wasted 5,negative
i think i was recommended this film by the lady in the shop i was hiring it from for once she was bang on what a superb film first of all i was convinced james were irish so convincing were their accents and by half way through the film i was utterly convinced steven robertson was a disabled actor and pretty sure james was also when i watched the special features on the dvd and saw both actors in their to say i was blown away would be an understatement i can remember all the acclaim dustin got back in the 80's for his portrayal of in the film man' quite frankly in my opinion of course steven performance portrayal blows dustin right out of the water and he deserves recognition as such all in all one of the greatest portrayals of human friendship love relationships ever and it was made in britain ireland with home grown actors stick that in and smoke it hollywood,positive
truly awful nonsensical garbage this movie does everything wrong except make the running time under an hour the gore fx defy gravity logic there are no scares the acting is abysmal with everyone appearing to be reading their lines there's a surprise ending that's just silly where we find out that things we saw happen didn't even happen boy do i hate cop out endings they pad this thing out with long drawn out shots of people doing nothing interesting like putting on make up or talking for what seems like forever they have to pad out a movie that's under an hour long ridiculous the story itself is pretty thin i mean it's just a variation of the movie april day if i remember that movie correctly and that film wasn't all that great either the only good thing i can say is it seems to have been shot well too bad nothing happens that's very exciting,negative
respected western auteur is woefully out of place with this choppy modern day cops and robbers story that suffers from a strong lack of emotional believability seems to have rehearsal time and settled for the first take as leads joe and put little effort into their roles delivering lines and without energy br br mild mannered employee leon works as an inside man on a bank job that goes bad and gets his wife killed in the process he escapes from prison and immediately sets out to kill the wife of the detective who killed his hundreds of cops are to keep him from getting to the home of the intended who has been moved to another location but wouldn't you know in the films final moments we have feet behind the victim who thought somehow that taking a bus back to the house was a sound move while a company of cops observe and over what action to take sound preposterous you should see it it's all of that and more br br camera work does a decent job of bringing noir to the but the editing is and and it the film of its suspense and pace as corey is the best thing in the film managing to evoke great sympathy as he transitions from gentle soul to murderer these attributes aside killer uniformly fails in construction and execution making its message clear go western old,negative

when a friend and i saw this in the recent releases we decided to get it despite the fact that neither of us had heard of it before we both like and it had james coburn so we figured it couldn't be that bad we were wrong it was it was really that bad no actor or actress could have made this film worth seeing it was like taking titanic the adventure and some nuclear bomb film and trying to cut and it all together br br i must admit that there were a couple of chuckles i did laugh when the head cabin boy is asking alan if he's some marine the other laughs this film got though had nothing to do with the writing i would love to know how the people making this movie thought that you could have a cruise liner knocked upside down and have it remain steady it isn't or anything br br if you are looking for something to watch for james coburn or any of the rest of this cast move on find something good that they did,negative
first a warning br br i recently saw this movie on dvd in the universal series the source print looks to be in condition but the image is a bit soft suggesting it might be a second generation copy straight from video the framing is far too tight so all the compositions are terrible even the title of the movie is i gather from other imdb reviews that there is a much better version available br br mr and mrs smith is just a to hitchcock's career br br in his lengthy interviews with in the sixties hitchcock gave a of his whole body of work but all he could say about this picture is that he did it as a favour to carole lombard and that he didn't understand the characters so just photographed norman screenplay br br in truth there is not much more that needs to be said br br it is a screwball comedy out of the same as it happened one night his girl friday and story carole lombard is a typically wife who learns that her marriage is technically falls out with with her husband on the of and spends most of the picture being br br robert does well enough as the put upon husband but it is hard not to lose patience with him long before the end of the movie the audience is saying dump the silly cow she's not worth it br br gene raymond plays the best friend with whom she becomes engaged he is supposed to be a although this is not obvious from his accent and only really becomes apparent in the drunk scene which he otherwise plays very well he is an generous gentleman so of course he is and by robert and made the butt of many of the jokes although he is not as badly treated as the similar ralph character in his girl friday br br this movie feels like it was made by people who only knew of screwball comedies by reputation but hadn't actually seen one for example a good screwball comedy has a strong central idea with a number of on going comic threads that continually and here all the comedy elements are just strung out like on a this is screwball comedy by the numbers br br it is the same with the direction typically these comedies race along at an ever increasing pace that rises to near by the end hitchcock doesn't get this his direction is somewhat and the picture becomes a succession of scenes that all seem slightly over written but under and slightly too long he was never a particularly good director of actors so he just lets the cast get on with it they do ok br br hitchcock had a good sense of humour which he frequently used in his thrillers but he had no feel for comedy as a genre his later trouble with harry was also a misfire for similar reasons to this movie but at least he was involved in that picture here he is just going through the motions br br all the people connected with this movie were good solid professionals so it is not especially bad it just feels a bit derivative over familiar over long and ultimately rather flat br br mr and mrs smith is one for carole lombard fans and hitchcock only,negative
i absolutely could not believe the levels of on display in this production i honestly thought gay men had better taste than this i know i do br br the bulk of the blame doesn't lie with the cast but let's get them out of the way first the only one with real talent was joe plus he had the best in the cast he had a nice clear theatre style voice okay and voice was so so but he had a expression in every number the rest couldn't hold a note in a bucket even though the music was obviously dubbed in after the fact must have been really dreadful hearing them live they were also all boys except for maybe three if i wanted to see naked women i could go to the bars not sure why anyone would choose to film the l a production instead of new york i would imagine ny has more readily available singing talent though one would think in l a they would be able to find better looking guys apparently not br br but i the real blame here lies with the creators and producers this score was the most banal insipid tripe i have ever heard it sounded like some theatre queens took all their musical threw them in a and the goo onto a page sadly i'm sure there are many who can't tell the difference between good theatre writing and whatever this is i mean seriously i was laughing my ass off through the whole thing but not at the lame jokes i think the morbid lover has died of aids entitled kris look what you've missed was the most hysterical thing in the whole show genius writing kris missed wow they almost rhyme must be a good and jesus the end of that song oh kris kris kris over and over my other favorite was you gotta be a boy to be a boy wtf the whole show was full of the most lyrics just because they where did these people learn to write songs apparently they listened to and said he's not so great i can do that as by the retarded bobby bobby bobby reference from company in one song another why are 20 somethings singing about robert mitchum and hunter obviously coming from the mouths of the and not the actors again bad writing br br if you love torture and pain and i know many of you strange do go ahead and watch it but you've been warned,negative
black dragons is a second feature wwii propaganda film popular at the time it's not as bad as some would have you believe br br a secret meeting by the respected dr william george is interrupted by a mysterious stranger names bela lugosi shortly thereafter the participants at the meeting begin to turn up murdered their bodies being placed on the steps of the japanese in washington is suspected federal agent dick martin moore is assigned to the case and meets niece alice joan who tries to assist him the reasons behind actions are not explained until the final reel until all is explained at the end the story is hard to comprehend br br lugosi who had by this time been reduced to appearing in a string of low budget is actually quite good in this one he is not allowed to over act as much as he did and credit for this has to go to director william character through the shadows and is reminiscent of his dracula even to the point of the full close ups of his eyes br br moore a one dimensional actor at best would become tv's lone ranger in a few years joan makes a good heroine br br although a little dated now black dragons is not a bad way to spend an hour,negative

a western through and through as the title character portrayed by glenn ford says no i don't want to fight but i will if it's forced on me this movie is about being intelligent strong and fighting for one's beliefs with courage never stop for what you feel is right great action and mostly quick paced good to see brian keith in this role and edward g robinson as an older western man glenn ford lives up to his western image thoroughly enjoyable film includes non military of course it's violent like the title states but not too graphic like in the computer generated era films it's mostly about strong personality,positive
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
this was a excellent back when it came out it had some the best talent available and a funny story between cameron and ali it was hard to choose who is and add in from fresh prince and all the other big names and you get a blockbuster ok a made for tv blockbuster but none the less if you can find this move don't miss it br br,positive

east is widely known as john last movie as he died on the set that's just what makes it so sad not simply that candy suffered a fatal heart attack but that it was on the set of such a crummy movie seriously i don't know what they were thinking when they came up with this piece of crap but the flick has no redeeming qualities it's as if they took every script for stupid westerns and just mixed them together and filmed it no wonder john candy didn't want to make the movie maybe his participation was what did him in br br anyway the point is that candy did much better than this throughout his career to be certain he had already completed michael moore's canadian bacon in which the united states declares war on canada just stick with that one and you can say that candy ended his career as for richard lewis who previous had co starred with candy in eugene absurd but hilarious once upon a crime he made up for this piece of crap by frequently guest appearing on with keith in later years,negative
what a horrible movie this movie was so out of order and so hard to follow it was so hard to follow and was just confusing the whole time i was watching it i was wishing it would end i felt like i wasted of my life that i will never get back save your money and don't rent this movie i now see why sarah michelle was barely in the movie the first movie was great but this was just sucked i would never recommend this movie to anyone save your money and watch the trailer because that is about the only thing that is worth seeing with this movie this movie had no real story to it either i am still wondering what i watched,negative
i know a lot of people like this show and i to people who think this show is awesome but it is the worst show ever created sure i'm sure i would be a big fan of this show if jeremy wasn't on it i mean i think that testing out cars and doing things like seeing whether a car can beat a is awesome but jeremy is just pathetic here are the reasons i hate this man he thinks it's cool to trick speed cameras that measure your average speed by taking your distance and time by driving down the road and then for two hours he clearly thinks that he is better than richard and james may he's got my best friend saying pathetic things he screams at kids just for taking a picture of him i'm sorry top gear but jeremy is a freak,negative
part of the bbc filming of all of shakespeare's classic plays this version of hamlet does nothing to my particular impression that it is one of shakespeare's most over rated plays and hamlet himself a not particularly moving and tragic character i feel no sympathy for him and i didn't after watching this br br even when you have great actors like the great derek in the role of the and patrick stewart as and jonathan hyde as it cannot disguise the lack of passion in the storyline and when a good actor like passion into it he the entire role incomprehensible i just could not connect his of the character to what he was saying and this killed it for me that said he does get the to be or not to be speech right as his actions with a make clear the character's intentions at that point in the play br br the supporting roles to me better written and consequently better played are enjoyable notably and stewart's well detailed interpretation of br br at four and a half hours it is very long and best watched in bite sized check it out if you're interested but be prepared for a long watch,positive
the philosophical tone of this movie it one of a kind i'd give it 10 stars for that alone that being said though what hit me with particular force was what i take possibly to be its art direction many of the interior shots feature a rich of color seemingly based on very understated color model and this makes the movie probably unrealistic to contemporary eyes but to me very beautiful as an aesthetic work in itself i think this movie is genuinely unique for this quality and if for no other reason earns it a full careful digital fox are you listening,positive
this movie just was not very funny there's not much else to say other than that it was kind of embarrassing for laurence fishburne and david hyde pierce both of whom deserve much better than this also i don't understand why after this movie completely and utterly bombed wb insisted on making it into a tv show,negative
more of a near miss than a flop mr stars as alex heir apparent to and later king of a small european nation who falls in love with a willing american actress and entertainer turner but due to by the sly prime minister of alex as king nicely played by cedric the lovers are separated for 12 years before being reunited in palm springs where their love is director don who also scripts is not able to fully his talent for snappy dialogue because of english usage and the requisite coupled with less than total in evidence between the two stars results in a somewhat tone to the screenplay by the cutting of many scenes leading to a confusing ending the his scenes with turner but both performers score with good work while main is impressive with her effects as written with debbie reynolds placed on track by louis b for in the rain as a result of her performance here only barry sullivan is heavily by the cutting filmed largely in beach california and other county the film is with iron strong operatic in as well as with original songs by harold and dorothy fields with douglas handling the sound recording and notice must be made of the fine set by willis and the effective costume designs by walter,positive
i was told about this film from a friend who saw it late night during the week he told me it was so bad that i had to see it so i went on an site and bought the film this is probably the worst film i have ever seen it makes you laugh when it really shouldn't terrible acting and terrible storyline plus he looks nothing like michael jackson br br i still recommend buying this film as its one of the funniest things you will ever see van is a joke in this film br br robots cant psyche br br i have to say though the special effects are actually amazing psyche dvds were probably even out when this film came out but if i had my way it would be a straight to vhs release yes people it is that bad,negative
is the second movie of the series of six productions named i have already commented the first one this second tv movie produced and broadcast last weekend by the italian state owned network has the same in addition contains a considerable number of historical errors some examples is a child and calls him at that time is name was he was named after his did not meet when he was young as in the movie but after his marriage with and his nomination to emperor when becoming emperor his sons where not adults is one month old and one year old and many many more if you are fond of ancient roman history you can find yourselves other examples series will continue with four more movies marcus and the fall of the roman empire finally,negative
i have had more boring stretches of 80 minutes in my life but none are coming to mind right now hell ride is based on the retro cult 70s theme that tarantino brought back and did right in movies like pulp fiction and dogs the problem with hell ride is unlike and the story is garbage and so is character development how many movies does bishop think he can blatantly steal from the brief case in pulp fiction the air gun in no country etc etc speaking of bishop what the hell is he doing acting in this movie i couldn't help but laugh at those scenes where he's standing with his trusted out desperately trying to seem like some hardened biker nothing in this movie is believable and why dennis hopper did they really need the easy rider too i blame larry bishop for his horrible plot and dialogue not to mention his failed attempt at the leading role don't bother watching this movie it's a waste of time,negative
for me this is not a good tv show animated or otherwise it is however annoying to the degree there are a few reasons for this in no particular order first the intro of one of the most pointless and annoying characters ever this character serves no purpose for the show whatsoever maybe it is intended as comic relief but it doesn't work out that way next up the joker i thought it was really ridiculous to have his character let loose with that ridiculous laugh after almost every sentence talk about repetitive this gets old really fast also don't think the had the right actor to voice the character it just doesn't sound at all like the joker should sound lastly they made robin look like a complete other than these problems the show isn't that bad but these are big enough problems to drastically lower the factor for me the new adventures of batman is a 3 10 at best,negative
okay some other people have commented that this isn't an action flick so i don't need to rehash that even though i just did this isn't exactly a let down in fact it's nice on occasion to see an actor try something different but unfortunately this isn't one of those occasions br br now the story non existent this film lacks in storyline almost as much as did sure they throw in a couple no not even something else here and there to please seagal being that that's what he's into this doesn't make a story not even close now the ending even those amongst us who actually liked this film the ending you have to admit it was a bit much or a lot stupid br br now from what i understand this was a direct to video film at least in the states but this is even too good for this one this piece of garbage should have been cable only on or late night,negative
if you wondered whether disney could broadcast a show with a character more spoiled than paris more shallow than britney more vapid than jessica and more than the girls next door wonder no more the amazing thing is is apparently supposed to be the heroine she's also supposed to be an from the spoiled shallow vapid popular girls at school which is no more believable here than it was for duff in plots range from recycled i dream of to parodies of harry potter the older boy between being a magical genius and being unable to master the of his own the younger boy is just another of the smart mouth who have on tv like in new york and with the same appeal the dad is the stereotypical dumb tv dad and the mom well she's not totally awful but all beside the hideous and yet horribly fascinating like a bad car accident spectacle of ms smug self satisfied performance and again she's the heroine,negative
this was amongst the worst films i have ever encountered the cinematography was dull with long tedious shots like a camera on a filming a stage play interspersed with dramatic angles that made little sense to the content on screen the editing was terrible scenes matched together with the of a butcher the plot on the viewer being familiar with the historical night in which mary shelley wrote the acting was forced with the type of character development that left you with an intense interest in seeing each of them die horribly the sooner the better,negative
i went to see this movie to kill some time i remember cole in and although his acting is wooden he does portray a tough leader character same here this movie was about a bunch of young hot scientists and exploring a cave in romania that one has to dive to see the beginning scene was very interesting with a bunch of romanian or russian men exploring the cave in search of flash forward 30 years and we have a team of called in by some scientist and his crew to explore some cave for some unknown scientific purpose br br there is a lot of clichéd useless talk the women are too hot for their jobs let's face it i hate to watch the lips of these women talk about the guys while drinking beer at the pre cave exploration party i mean it was like we were at some bar with frat and types talking about the opposite sex not a group of scientists and every character had zero personality with perhaps exception of the scientist who at least wasn't one of the young and beautiful people so the acting although was not inspiring br br the dialog was pretty bad at one point in the movie cole jack the lead diver his into the symbol and stay like that we are led to believe that since he was by one of these monsters that he is turning into one of them fair enough but first of all nobody says the obvious thing to him what is up with your eyes dude no everybody just talked about how he's changed and that he should not be the leader of the group anymore and then this guy says you see how he's not human huh if they really believed he was a monster then why not act like it instead the group in two those who go with jack and those who go their separate ways i guess thinking him to be a monster it makes no sense br br the best scene in the movie was this blonde diver woman up a cave wall and gets attacked by this her scream really sucked but she fought like hell to the br br the photography was fine when the camera was still but any action sequences the director found it useful to confuse the hell out of us by flashing dark space god knows what i wish they would just show us a scene straight once in awhile just because you move the camera all over the place doesn't make the movie any scarier folks br br this movie could have been a lot better if the following changes had been made br br 1 every actor was replaced by someone who looked real let cole be the lead it's ok to let him be the good looking one i'm getting tired of seeing 20 something scientists give me a break people br br 2 the cinematographer was fired and replaced by one who just pointed the camera and sat still this could be the director's fault i don't know camera as in constant is getting old folks br br 3 we got to see the actually the people how bout some gore there's not much else in this movie we barely got to see the creatures i felt a little ripped off about that br br 4 the ending was pretty lame during the denouement the sexy british scientist has a secret guess what that is it's a bit the ending would have been better if they all died instead of the black guy morris who seemed to breathe a little sympathy into his character just by his worried expressions all the other actors had no expression br br i gave it a 4 out of 10 because after all the acting was without noticeable errors and the concept was fairly original i'd like to see cole do more military roles he's good at it,negative
here's what's good about the slaughter rule br br ryan duvall and david morse all give great performances is as always pretty darn outstanding the locales are often breathtaking br br here's what's bad about the slaughter rule br br everything else the script is horribly muddled and while i can certainly appreciate a non feel good movie this movie is just boring great performances can't make up for a movie with a stupid premise and a script that is filled with throw away lines that often don't even make it sense just getting through the first hour became a chore br br i stuck with it because of but eventually i did myself a favor and changed the channel spoilers on here the ending to me i didn't miss much do yourself a favor if you want a good flick check out the believer br br my score 2 out of 10,negative
why is it that every time i mention this movie to somebody i have to hear 10 minutes of praise about it i have come to the conclusion that any movie that has a twist upon a twist is deemed genius by anyone who watches it is that really what film has become or is it that any time someone says wow that is so cool everybody has to agree with them and has no opinion of their own how this movie has a 7 5 rating is a disgrace to the film industry in general it has also become yet another movie that needs two sequels for it so i am going to have to hear about this horrible franchise for quite a while longer br br now to the film and why it is so bad the original concept of it is actually not that bad as there has not been a good serial killer movie in a while the writing for this film is horrible as well as the execution ok so its a low budget movie but that should not change the story or writing the actors could not be worse in their attempt to make us scared of this killer or just scared of this movie so they go out and get a big name in danny glover but his talents whatever those are are wasted because his character is worthless why was he even in this movie what was his whole fight at the end turned out to be useless and misleading for what the audience believes is happening this is of course the filmmakers intent but couldn't there have been a better way to do this without making us watch all that garbage and then the big twist comes was this the third or fourth and the whole audience is shocked and walks out of the theater like this is some kind of masterpiece sure the movie gets people talking about the storyline and what not but that was not the only flaw in this film the direction was trying to be way too creative with what it was working with and the flashback sequences were used merely as a shock effect br br after watching this movie even if you enjoyed it go back and review the film and you will soon understand why it is not worthy of the praise it is receiving for an amazing serial killer film check out if you have not done so that is what this film wanted to be i have gotten into more arguments about this film than probably any others and will continue to argue against it please do not support this franchise for not only your sake but mine and everybody else's sake as well hollywood needs to find a good horror movie to make rather than 1 000 remakes sequels and shock factor films such as this oh yeah the saw 2 tag line sounds real promising oh yes there will be blood sweet blood that must mean its good right give me a break sorry everybody who love this movie but poor writing flashy direction and bad acting does not make a good movie,negative
and i do peter falk has created a role that will live on forever in tv land and i'm grateful for that this isn't one of his finest hours though columbo goes to college and basically teaches how he a crime and yet there are bad guys who go ahead and think they're smarter than he is what all us fans know is that columbo needs a worthy without a great enemy how can he be the hero in the coat still it's better than no columbo and i'll wait and watch the next one as well,positive
i rented this movie because it supposedly takes place in a jazz club you know those hip cool places you might stumble upon late on a saturday night well there's not one ounce of cool in this ridiculous movie the score is goofy the original songs are awful both lead actors' singing is continually off key to be kind and at best the plot is no more complex than boy meets girl the acting is laughable and the only decent cinematic moments are the stock footage scenes the jazz club scenes feature dialog by overly busy music this joey de should keep his day job unless his day job is helping with movie scores is it possible to not only get my four dollars back but have my therapy sessions paid for as well this movie interestingly enough is so bad you might want to watch it sort of like driving by a bad accident you just have to look at least once just get the ear ready,negative
the first season was great good mix of the job and the brother and friends at home it was actually a pretty funny show br br now it shows up again and the brother and the two hot chicks are gone and the whole thing revolves around the company even the old man who runs the company has gone downhill way too over the top where before it was perfect br br that and no more sarah mason one of the best looking girls in hollywood br br this is what happens when you let some get their hands on a show you can almost see the meeting the old man is funny lets focus on him make him way over the top and make it all about the it'll be a nutty version of the office anyhow no hot chicks no watch,negative
if you are a with for the of the spanish republic this movie may be for you two brothers real life ones one of them being marc himself re a fictional version of a real life journey they had made through the spectacular countryside and history is pans of bullet walls on the soundtrack but not shown there is very little dialog and most of it is incidental the story is told in a third person voice over the voice being that of an actress the real life sister of the real life brothers the images have little to do with what story line there is which isn't much many are stunning brooding pans across stark semi mountains and rivers think or gus van there's not a little of both and last days here interspersed with some stunning still images and frames these are best enjoyed within the film's superb natural sound environment and without the ultimately tedious narration or even the occasional background music some quite good some rather odd but all gratuitous the best of what this movie has to say is said in these sequences with their occasional comment less inclusion of power stations and br br the relationship between the brothers is left and generic a major character is a man biting never shown the more the of the director are suggested the more the film's message is and the more the experience becomes though the director said at the screening that the film was conceived from the beginning with its third person narrative i'd like to see a version of it without the narrative or the music and with only the natural soundtrack and dialog the result might be more moving and would in any case not be that much less br br meantime this is most likely the only film you will see this year in which a guy into the frame with a cloth object the bathing suit he had been wearing from his penis this is one of the few moments in the whole movie in which your interest is sorry by something that's actually happening on screen what is that it hanging there but as usual no answers are provided very very sixties and a not a little tiresome,negative
hope with sandra is a real disappointment the story starts off ok her husband on her and she finds out on national television so she has to her life here it could have gotten interesting or built up in a story line but you become so bored with it she moves back with her parents and harry jr who plays justin begins hitting on her the two have no real chemistry at all yet your supposed to get the impression that justin is in love with her the movie ends the way you figure it will but you wish it hadn't ended like every other kind like it they had a good start with this movie and could have turned it into something watchable but instead its a movie that you definitely want to miss,negative
hilarious and low budget comedy at it's best this set of unique individual sketches with extensive self humor is reminiscent of a really raunchy kids in the hall be prepared for some of the most random and worthy lines filled with ethnic and awful language sex toys included br br there should be more comedy like this around today this collection of sketches on one dvd will warrant many viewings and in order to appreciate some of the parts if you enjoyed the state and or wet hot american summer get ready for some more glory if you are even considering this for younger audiences i would say that every child on earth should see this,positive

i was an extra on this film in the part shot at the airport in the first 15 minutes or so i was one of the fleeing mostly mexican running across the at ryan field in at one point standing around in our as we waited for another shot one of my fellow extras turned to me asked me what the move was going to be about i told him it was going to be a remake of lost only as a musical there was a long pause then he man this movie is gonna suck pretty of him i thought i had a good time and made a bit of money but even with some interesting personal memories attached to this movie i can't sit through the whole thing br br if you ever saw the movie the you can pretty much get the idea you get to see a lot of famous and talented people wasted on an an idea that on the face of it is just bad the idea seemed to be that if you throw enough money at a movie and hire enough big names then a good story and good writing aren't necessary just turn the big and out comes the product it's just not worth watching,negative

for all of us american fans this little gem is a little tough to get of fortunately i found myself so wrapped up in the short bits that i saw on youtube com that i was willing to go to any i found it on ebay com ordered it directly from france and changed my so it would play region 2 dvds let me tell you that it was well worth it be warned there are no subtitles shouldn't have released this on dvd should've they're good about the subtitles i don't speak a word of french i can utter a here and there order a drink and that having been said this film was a treat anyway i couldn't fully appreciate the supposed humor or the witty dialogue watching and her was enough for me i understood what was going on without need of the dialogue it really says something about a film when those who can't speak the language enjoy it br br the cinematography is wonderful london is adorable as the smitten son on law loved the lesbian mom and of course what can i possibly say about our dear she is one of a kind those eyes that smile i could watch her films all day she really goes beyond beauty people always say she's gorgeous well yes she is but she is also very talented i believed her every second of the way her conversation about chocolate and vanilla with london is too sweet her character even gets arrested for smoking with some 15 year old in the street not to be missed fly to france and buy this if you have to great 10,positive
is an odd and at times humorous low budget horror flick along the lines of or a less intelligent version of 'the good br br set in a small town three babies are born at the height of an where means they are somehow born without emotions ten years later our three little take themselves on a killing spree doing away with parents siblings teachers and anyone else who them only one teenage girl knows the truth to be able to stop them there is no explanation for why babies across the world born at the same time aren't equally as twisted but there you go br br for a slasher film it's very tame in terms of violence and gore which i suppose highlights the problem of casting child characters as the killers as there is only so much you can expose the young actors to instead it's amusing and a little disturbing seeing three ten year olds plotting murders and carrying out their plans using guns knives and the main reason why it doesn't into being totally ridiculous is because the child actors are very convincing in their roles with the way they play the little in front of adults while showing their dark side to the girl who knows the truth br br is rather mediocre as a horror flick with few scares and little blood but because it has the shock factor of having kids as the killers it is a bit unique in that way one to watch if there's nothing else on,negative
the only thing more full of holes than this movie's premise is its script is the ideal showcase for joel glorious flamboyant lack of talent the plot is totally illogical but super fake and everything is art directed within an inch of its life in the most clichéd way i love how the school room is a low lit in red with huge paintings hanging from the walls i love how sutherland drives a backed army no one in joel movies lives in an un eccentric manner it's always an alternate universe where everyone is young and painfully hip but hip strictly and according to an out of touch middle aged man child's idea of hip and holy crap the part where baldwin brother 16 dies and comes back to life and then is haunted by all the women he's slept with who i'll call you and i just need some space is the funniest thing in the whole universe what kind of a world do we live in where joel gets to keep having people throw money at him made me want to review the man's entire solely for the kind of high quality contained,negative
okay so this what i was expecting i rented this film just to see how it would be since i want to see the first one anyway but this film had b movie all over it but when i watched it i realized that it was very funny for the first 30 minutes it was just how the snowman was people and one man losing his sanity but those first few minutes had some funny one liners in it when he throws up the first of his little i knew this would be very very funny they all act like the in the four hit that it made it look like it was it and made me forget it was a b movie so if you like to laugh rent this one,positive
if there is such a thing as beautiful horror this film is one of the best in this genre it is a horror movie which despite not being void of gore scenes relies more on psychology and masterful building of the tension in order to create thrills and it is one of those movies so beautifully filmed where each scene is a full world of symbols and details all serving the scope and genre that it can be called but beautiful br br it is not an easy story with two sisters returning to their father and step mother mansion after having spent some time in a psychiatric institution they cope hardly with the death of their mother and they try to protect a world of theirs defending them against the adult world so the film seems to be at its most actually the film slowly to something very different at slow pace but no frame is lost to convey the sense of thrilling beauty so i will not say much more watch it it is one of the best in the genre of far east horror films that recently the world cinema and it really shows that they succeeded to do it for good reasons,positive
and thus was born the most ever to grace the silver screen while the plot has an abused cat painting himself like a and inadvertently le called henry here certainly steals the show no doubt chuck jones realized that this love seeking member of the had that special something necessary to be a star in his own right and so he cast in for reasons four years later firmly establishing enduring presence on screens everywhere br br so while able kitty may be a place otherwise i try to imagine watching it for the very first time in 1945 could anyone have guessed that this supporting character would soon join the ranks of bugs and the rest whether or not anyone did remains one of the most likable characters to this day,positive
i can't believe this movie is getting the rating that it is here on imdb of course i've come to conclude that imdb is somewhat worthless for actually finding out if a movie is good or not as 99 of films are rated from 6 to 7 it's the conclusion and failure of crowd on the internet for this purpose an average is taken of most people and unfortunately most people are simple minded easily entertained fast food lifestyle morons but i the movie i really don't want to waste my time writing about it let's just say i found it to be made for seemingly two groups of people young teens at the age where violent action movies of any sort just hit the spot and types that just love to choke down whatever gothic vampire fantasy they can get their hands on if you aren't in one of those categories you will find this movie absurd i did enjoy the first underworld it was fresh at the time and held a sort of edgy quality the second was a bit trying in plot but i did enjoy the direction and cinematography at times but this whole movie felt like a sci fi channel production or even a tv series i found the actors to be over directed their body language into un natural idealistic poses that seemed contrived lines were spit out like young actors would spit out lines of shakespeare in their own glory at being in such a role but in doing so the role the plot was dry and predictable right from the start i found myself wishing things to just move along as it was so easy to tell what was going to happen i tried to care at first but my brain was forced to shut off by the end climax i actually caught myself falling asleep there were so many parts that were inconsistent and didn't make sense that it's not even worth listing them all if you're a faced teen or a sure have at it for the rest of us forget it like i'm about to do right now,negative
oh yes hollywood does remember how to use the good old formula and when lightning hits it's a rather wonderful feeling rarely hollywood creates a masterpiece because lately there seems to be more concern with up and getting the most in a manner or there is the matter of too many in the mix usually good screenplays are the result of a talented writer who is in full control of his her property understand his material and is a good writer then there is a little important part often neglected by the marketing geniuses that so often lack creativity and vision a good actor br br a good actor can make the difference between a mediocre half try and a fully realized film that might not be an important and relevant movie but one that contributes to its genre and might eventually become a classic of its type we get very few romantic comedies and we are people who are for them buried in the sexy humor of sex in the city is the romantic yet relationship of big and carrie and people to because it had some romance played by streep and it could have a silly musical but it did touch us because it was played with intensity and conviction nights offers us more of it with the amazing talents of a woman who does magnificent work in romantic films ms diane lane ever since her days as a child actor we could appreciate how her talent combined with her soul allowed us to see into the hearts of the story's protagonists a few years back she teamed up with mr gere giving us a tormented romantic and sexy performance as the wife who is not too sure of her consequences in work that should have garnered her at least an academy award she is back doing more work in this romantic gem as a woman who has given up on her romantic and suddenly she realizes there might be another chance around the corner br br ms lane makes this film with intelligence and passion her facial expressions communicate volumes about the different emotions her character we can read desperation anger hope loss and a range that is way out reach for a lot of the types that hollywood constantly push down our throats here is a mature performer who has the gift to project real emotions and allows us to connect with the material in such a way that we are moved as we become part of the experience br br ms lane is such a joy to watch as she goes through from the first scenes of the film until the very end her become as we celebrate with her the power of hope and love she is able to bring back the joy of a person in love much like a teenager does and yet she never lets you think of her character as silly or irresponsible her eyes are gems that can move even the cynical in the audience she is one of the stars that can do wonders with just one look in her the classic feel of those grand movies of yesterday are back her work recalls the passionate and intelligent work of hepburn davis women who played everyday types and made them memorable because they created complete characters br br we admire those superb actresses who recreate real life legends and are rewarded for it half their work is done by the of the figures they however as much as anyone might make you think it is the roles such as in this movie that are a more impressive achievement because they are created from scratch given a personal and are able achieve heights without any previous theatrical material support such as plays and the background of a famous legend whose life is paid tribute on the silver screen character is one woman whose experiences could be any of us she represents our dreams and emotions with much quality class and just the right amount of sentiment it is quite a remarkable achievement and we should be grateful that we are still able to find such a remarkable performance nowadays br br there are a few i could use to pay tribute to her work but i can only say that in my humble opinion every single frame of her work in this film is testament to one of the greatest performances ever put on celluloid by a living performer thank you ms lane,positive
this film fails on every count for a start it is pretentious to be significant and failing miserably the script was banal in the extreme nobody at any time said anything remotely interesting it was impossible to care about any of the characters was a self regarding waste of time whilst miller was just a waste of time the bit about the soldier who went off to war was a cliché even before the film used it the use of the second world war as a backdrop was in itself a cliché the bombs the in tube stations etc employed to a bit of much needed drama why anybody thought for a moment that this film was worth making is quite beyond my it was yet another case of let's get the costumes looking authentic never mind about the story the script or the acting,negative
it's a super movie i only seen it once but it's very good if you like music like in and don't have problem with drugs it's fantastic movie it's only a little bit to short but when you watch the movie make sure your sound system is at 100 then you will love the music in the film and the funny things that a guy from the country comes never drink any alcohol and then he is under drugs in the biggest and love the music br br the only problem is that i want to buy it and i can't find it so if anyone knows where i could buy the movie mail me br br me from holland br br me,positive
author 1 from canada the big problem was the china syndrome claim that if the error occurred and waste out it could burn its way straight through the earth to china a lot of people have made fun of this and if the movie makers meant it seriously then yes it should be made fun of the wouldn't make it anywhere near the center of the earth or even the rock even if it did make it to the center of the earth how would it come out in china it would have to flow against gravity the rest of the way also china is not the opposite side of the world the indian ocean is br br this point is brought up by the characters of the film saying that of course it could not happen as the core would hit ground water and release a radio active cloud down on the population br br before you try to find a weak point in the film you should watch it first don't judge a book by it's title,positive

while many people found this film simply too slow and simplistic i really connected with it there is no plot as such rather the film takes the form of a human survival story about three people trapped up a tree with a man eating crocodile lurking somewhere in the water beneath them br br personally i thought the acting was mostly very good despite the roles being quite demanding at times and i felt a sense of warmth for the characters the situation they were in was quite terrifying and i really felt nervous for them i found the whole film quite nerve because of the sheer of their situation and the constant threat to their survival br br the crocodile effects were handled surprisingly well for such a low budget film and believe me i have seen my fair share of dodgy croc movies the creature moved well and had real menace and although the audience i was with didn't seem too keen on the film as a whole they still jumped and whenever the crocodile appeared br br script wise i would have made a few changes particularly towards the end but this was not a major problem for fans of slow burning survival horror set within the of reality this will be an engaging film but unfortunately i think for many audiences seeking a thrill ride and higher production values from their cinema experience the point will simply be missed,positive
stick around is one of the brief series of films that paired bobby ray with oliver hardy before immortal with stan laurel several critics have suggested that ray and hardy the little man and the overbearing big man were a prototype for laurel and hardy but that simply isn't true ray and hardy play off each other well but really aren't a team in each of these films ray has more footage and is clearly meant to be the hero while hardy bullies him in a manner very much unlike his later ollie character's treatment of stanley it's very clear that the relationship between little bobby and big babe was inspired by earlier chaplin films in which the little tramp was by huge mack or eric campbell br br however in stick around hardy sports a hat that's identical to his later ollie although with a fuller and he and bobby after spending most of this movie as end up as drunken br br bobby is a for the firm of and with hardy as his boss when the bobby tries to pretend he showed up promptly there's some clever physical business between the two men that reminds me of a routine performed by and buster keaton in 'the a bit later bobby ray whose brief acting career never firmly developed a screen persona performs an impossible gag that would have been inappropriate for stan laurel when he pulls a long out of a much smaller br br the go to work in a and there are the usual unrealistic depictions of mental illness one resident insists on sitting on a piece of because he thinks he's a egg there are also some racist and unfunny gags involving a black man who lets the inmates crack open on top of his head when he sees a picture of a lion not even a photograph mind you he goes all cowardly as if it were an actual wild animal br br stick around is fairly dire most of the and acting is much than it needs to be for a slapstick comedy even hardy already a very subtle actor by badly with his over acting here there are several bad examples of shot matching i was impressed with one unusual camera set up when a fat face is and we see a close up of his reflection in a hand mirror rather than his actual face br br spoilers coming during their brief pairing hardy typically played boss or or both here for once they end up as pals it's a nice ending but it doesn't make up for what's really a poor film my rating for this one is only 4 out of 10,negative
this critique tells the story of 4 little friends who went to watch angels and demons the movie on the first night it came out even though it was a school night because angels and demons is worth it two of the four had read the book of those that didn't a guy was wearing pink skinny this was the least part of the evening after watching the angels and demons br br the movie starts out in a lab where the is being created while another process is going on and apparently someone knows about it or something notice how very confused i am i don't get what happened they were just making the finds her own father dead what the symbol sent to is a not a burn on someone's chest they take out the x 33 scene they take out they pretty much take out and the connected to it they take out the and replace him with some religious british dude they take out the diamond they take out near rape scene they take out fight with the now british dude on crack they take out the press dude following them around they take out the death of the fourth they take out the fact that the becomes they take out the grand scheme they take out being in the helicopter and landing on that island toward the end they take out the fact that father was a scientific priest they take out fun and most unfortunately they take out sexual appeal br br other than the movie completely losing focus of the details the movie is acted horribly one must admit though there were some good things for example the recreation must have been extremely difficult and it was extremely well done the explosion scene was mind blowing other than that screw this movie for ruining the book for the people who didn't read it,negative

even if you're not a theatre person i highly recommend that you see this based off of a play of the same name by christopher bond which in turn had been based off of an old london legend did a wonderful job bringing it to the musical theatre stage the score is just amazing by far best and probably one of the best scores written for a musical ever the show was cast extremely well my only complaint being of portrayal of it s good mind you and she's a very versatile actress but she just doesn't sing and bird too well but other than that it's all phenomenal angela lansbury made the role of mrs and she just does it so well george was a good replacement for in the title role and ken gives a great performance as the ending will give you chills top marks for a wonderful show,positive
i wanted to see this movie because i liked prisoner of the mountains and brat brother with jr and the thief with well unlike the other movies the was a total waste of time the story that makes little sense very uneven acting ann warren was especially bad really awful dialogs poor cinematography what else could go wrong i find it amusing that in practically every american made movie when the same language speaking russians in this case are left alone they prefer to communicate with each other mostly in broken english and when they happen to speak russian for some reason feel to add a lot of f in the sentences which have no profanity literal or non literal at the same time native english speaking actors choose to speak in broken russian why is that getting back to the story most of the subplots of the movie e g the house latin american etc either make no sense or do nothing more than confusing the viewers it is too bad that and leigh all good actors in my humble opinion got themselves involved in this disaster,negative
during an eight year stretch of the 1980s when charles bronson made nine films only one was released by a company other than the cannon group 'the evil that men do ' a films pickup from sir entertainment firm bronson was already in the thick of his with director j lee thompson which ran through numerous until forbidden in 1989 br br expectations should run pretty high with bronson and thompson working for a better outfit like but 'the evil that man is a great disappointment on many levels while still from the low budget b movie mold of the 1980s has potential for a great film everyone in the production department however took an easy way out and sold hack work of 'the evil that men had a concept and technical resources that could have been used to make one of bronson and best films but instead will go down as one of their most average br br this 1984 political thriller opens in brutal fashion with joseph a british doctor holding his special training class for political leaders in the gray haired passive is an expert on torture methods who is employed by numerous political in the opening seven minutes we witness using current to unbearable pain on a journalist as you may expect the scene is awful to watch and was cut from the original vhs release br br was none other than a friend of holland bronson a retired assassin who is enjoying life in the islands holland was approached by the journalist years before to rid humanity of but turned the offer down a mexican professor named hector visits shortly after death to talk holland into finishing the job bringing of from the doctor's victims while in denial at first holland eventually agrees to the dirty work and his sister claire in br br holland enters city with help from an max he poses as a tourist with widow and young daughter sarah amanda nicole thomas in as with most of later his character knocks off henchmen one by one crossing paths with a sleazy american john glover and his supporting hit man roger along the way a brutal ending takes place in the of an mine where the doctor gets just from several of his victims br br 'the evil that men is based on a forgotten novel by r lance hill and jumps at american political in latin america during the 1980s indeed is hard boiled in every sense of the term as it uses and doses of brutality to cover up huge weaknesses in plot and character development for every plus this film has there are three or four resulting from br br while 'the evil that men has a great concept the film is never truly more than an excuse for bronson to wipe out foreign based in the style of bad pulp fiction is filled with cardboard characters that we never get to know or understand holland despite being played strongly by bronson never talks about his inner feelings or explains what motivated him into becoming a killer for hire a terribly weak part for is disgusted by holland for much of the way but later feels an affection for him where does her love come from especially after watching holland kill several people and wanting to go home just a few scenes before br br the most interesting characters are actually and his sister claire because so many questions can be asked of them naturally we never find out what has brought them so close together how and where their torture started what exact role in their business plot holes can go on forever especially with the paint by numbers storyline that seems to make things up as it goes along why is daughter brought into such a dangerous situation other than for her to be conveniently taken hostage by if bodyguard randolph raymond st jacques clearly saw holland and in the why is he so friendly with them in a bar is his memory that short and what really was the purpose other than cheap of holland throwing luke off a window when the murder could have been handled more in apartment br br the overall acting is decent and somehow bronson gives one of his strongest performances j lee direction is lacking at points but may have been by limited time on site besides filming in mexico the presence of is clear through better production values cinematography and music rural locations are well used to convey the hot and dusty atmosphere of latin america and cinematographer provides rich color and clarity the score by ken is refreshing in an era of junk oddly enough these only add to the frustration of a good movie that is screaming to come out peter lee editing is better than usual although with more laughable continuity errors br br 'the evil than men was perfect material for the early 80s and i find it hard to recommend for 21st century action fans the dvd from columbia entertainment is an okay presentation offering widescreen and standard format with four language subtitles while the video quality is well above average was originally recorded in plain audio the theatrical trailer is offered and actually has a feel with color and fuzzy sound quality br br out of 4,negative
why bother admittedly park is the most difficult of the novels to get and is certainly the hardest to like but if one is going to take it on then have the courage to risk being true to the book and its rather complicated spirit and for sake have the guts to cast as she was written a good hearted mrs norris wasn't nearly as awful as she should have been and what the heck happened to the contrast between rather dubious family and family home and the of is key to well so many aspects of of henry her near transformation to a good person etc etc again given the complexity and challenges of the novel why did they bother it's beyond me,negative
where do i start i usually ignore whatever rating imdb has when looking up a movie because i think i might like it anyway or whatever and i should at least give it a chance but this time i wish i'd paid attention br br i know some people liked it and i'm not trying to say that they shouldn't it was semi amusing at some parts but if you're like me and you don't like watching cats around in the for 20 minutes random fast motion cloud scenes dogs in for another 20 minutes set to music and close ups of faces while people are speaking then you might want to avoid this movie the actors were either positively wooden or way over the top and the film quality was awful fuzzy and grainy and bland and not in an artistic way at all and i know that we were supposed to think that carol was not just a crazy maniac with a gun shooting innocent people with this weird religious going on but well she doesn't really convince me otherwise in fact i ended up really her crazy character and what was up with the souls in space i understand this is a fantasy movie but come on br br i will say the angel at the end was freaking creepy it was the thing in the whole movie way more creepy than the darth face demon i give them props for that scene it was good but not good enough to actually see the movie and the opening credits were great but don't be fooled i would've rather they used whatever money went into those credits to make the movie better br br i wish i hadn't bought this for even the 2 that i paid for it i could have bought a candy bar instead,negative

i really enjoyed random hearts it was shocking to see such a low rating on imdb but a son and all that i am a big fan of harrison ford but i do have to admit that he was ill cast in this movie and the reason i gave it 9 instead of 10 scott thomas though was just wonderful she was believable and beautiful in spite of being made up for half the movie like she'd been crying for days could random hearts have been better sure but it is very much worth seeing as it is,positive

i'm not a big fan of movie musicals annie was a stage show i loved but the movie was a flop the phantom of the opera movies and i believe there were three failed to match the staging but i loved this the dvd will take a place of honour among my even though it's a movie adaptation it somehow captures the and the atmosphere of live theatre bette midler always a treat is just exceptional in this role there's great music lots of laughs and even a tear or two i've seen most of the big musicals of the eighties and nineties somehow i missed this one so there's no comparison to make but if it gets i shall be first in line for tickets but this movie is so good i'll be in the odd position of wondering if the stage production will measure up to the movie,positive
in a word magical and so incredibly real is so incredibly raw so incredibly vulnerable that you just want his characters to succeed in whatever he does and he plays from his absolutely perfect bollywood e to his awkward shy manner with a first kiss he is a truly gifted actor and i wouldn't hesitate to see him in anything because he brings it all to life and gives it a soul is absolutely gorgeous it took some time for me to warm up to her possibly because she plays the role of an ignorant but fascinated tourist so well her transition really became her and she into her role very well even the man you love to hate her boyfriend benoit was wonderful though you never really like him for the that he plays jean marie a perfect the script so real i found myself turning to my friend repeatedly throughout the film to say that's exactly what happens in india they nailed it very real very raw very bittersweet but you certainly leave the theater feeling music by is wonderful and goes perfectly with the constantly changing but i find myself constantly coming back to him because he is what makes this movie he is the hero the most charming driver you will ever encounter he's magical a lovely real sweet incredibly talented actor who i cannot wait to see shine and succeed in bollywood hollywood or anywhere,positive

i like a lot of myrna loy movies this film was produced before her character actor personality was developed it would be an okay short film but seems to go on forever in it's complete form br br myrna loy it seems is told what to do with her acting and does the job that is about all you can say about her br br her gypsy character is shoddy and the film has many flaws such as the jewelry shop scene br br this film will probably be interesting to myrna loy fans but even as such is something of a disappointment,negative
i saw this on dvd with subtitles which made it a little frustrating to get through because of the film's length but i was throughout all of it that i was fascinated by the characters and always in the story despite the subtitles is a testament to the film's power it's an amazing piece of work i have it on my list of ten favorite films of all time it's easily the best foreign film i've seen in the last twenty years or so i would like to know the full story behind the making of this film it must have taken a very long time and required the use of hundreds of locations its use of some hardcore scenes on the tv in the motel room may unfortunately make some people choose not to see it but if you don't mind those you'll be deeply moved by all the stories in this one,positive
a cheesy b crime thriller of the early the story is the characters wooden allison hayes and lane are the only two that make it an eye but one short shot only a few frames long shows an el train crossing the river on the state street bridge of the series built cars painted in their original 1950 paint scheme as they were delivered when new in 1950 for fans like me that one short take makes the picture worthwhile i think films like this one d o a with edmund o'brien the fugitive with harrison ford and others of the film noir genre big city crime dramas make it interesting if for nothing other than the fact that i know chicago and san francisco and recognize most of the street locations other wise it's a really boring film,negative
on march 17 1974 a man is found dead in the at penn station although well known he cannot be identified because he out the personal information in his and his body lays at the city's for three days it turned out to be the body of what many consider one of the greatest american of the century louis i he died at the age of 73 on his way from india where one of his greatest projects the for management in was br br one of the most influential post war american louis legacy includes the house of in the art museum in forth worth the art gallery the in california and a kind of mobile music boat designed to give in in various cities around the world br br while celebrated as an architect very little was known about his private life in addition to his wife esther and their daughter sue ann was survived by two harriet and anne and their two children all three families lived within miles of each other in suburban philadelphia but their paths never crossed until the funeral his son the director of this film was only 11 years old at the time and had only a few memories of his father's weekly visits at harriet mother in philadelphia twenty five years later he sets out on a journey to confront his father by visiting buildings talking to relatives and colleagues and visiting the places that played a role in louis life br br one of the most moving is when asks his mother a landscape architect and mistress of louis why she kept up with playing second to his wife and never confronted him with this tears shed her eyes but she has no regrets it was worth it it's such an intensely sad moment she's obviously treated as an at his funeral which she was forbidden to attend it's almost as if she led a substitute life it all feels strangely unreal another interview with edward bacon nemesis who was in charge of the of his native in the fifties and sixties almost suffers a stroke on the spot when he is reminded of ideas about architecture his son when a very senior bacon literally screams with anger whenever name comes up the final scene is reserved for creation the in it took 23 years to complete a vast and extraordinary building of which the are extremely proud it's one of the very few national symbols with stature in this nation some of the interviews with the locals brought tears in my eyes especially when they find out they are talking to god the own son br br the film is as much a personal journey as it is an account of grand legacy and is above all about the of the film itself and film making in general perhaps louis i as a father but these shortcomings in his personal life make for an all the more interesting portrait in this extraordinary film br br camera 9 10,positive
i have seen this movie a number of times and find it very compelling and sad the lack of real emotion from most of the characters is very disturbing they seem empty hopeless the story is based on a real event br br a teenage girl is murdered by her boyfriend for no obvious reason apparently he just felt like it then he boasts about it to his friends and as they don't believe him he takes them to view the body a number of times no one reports the murder there are two strong leads keanu reeves and glover character is seriously annoying br br character matt appears to be the only one who has a sense of right and wrong this is keanu at his best a flawless performance and very believable anyone who thinks this man can't act should watch this movie little brother is almost the most disturbing character in the movie only twelve and no compassion or love factor in his life it is very sad to think there are kids out there like this it really makes you grateful for what you have 9 10,positive
i caught this film at an screening in los angeles in july 2006 it's rough around the edges sound recording in particular is and often very funny the script is rather episodic and ends abruptly but ash christian the film with lots of genuine heart it's also a refreshing change of pace to have a gay film that doesn't star underwear models obsessed with and chasing straight guys props to a sympathetic jonathan as mr cox a spirit to rodney ash christian the lively and spirited ashley as best friend and deborah as mom who is given the best one liners in the script and steals her every scene the film is like its writer director and a bit odd but also very sweet,positive

mr seagal has his already low standards even more and has now himself in making bad movies the has no substance what so ever in the script it's director has made an even worse job and the music and score is so and that you just don't know whether to laugh or cry already 10 minutes into the movie you just want to turn it off however considering steven past movies you think there might be some cool action sequences at least worth watching ' you are wrong it only gets worse as the movie progresses everyone with a few exceptions seem to kill every person that they talk to good or bad innocent or not the only good thing with the movie is that it that it has an end and that it has a rather short running time the movie up in two words stay away,negative
was never one to let a lack of budget get in the way of telling one of his stories his blind dead series started off great but had some truly laughable moments such as shots of a small model boat in a water tank for the ghost in the sea he hits rock bottom and takes some notable actors along with him telling the tale of a silly monster that brings eyed terror to a few water tanks and br br a vague opening sequence sets the stage and demonstrates an military mission where american pilots for some unknown reason drop an atomic bomb into the frame of the film somewhere in the ocean off the coast of spain the military commander gives this order from an office that features a prominent american flag and a portrait of a deranged looking ronald reagan one of only a few things that makes this movie really seem like the eighties the other two are the hilariously inept that declares the year to be 1 and dated which would have looked really cool next to some ripped br br one of the monsters you will ever see rises from the depths disturbed by the explosion caused by the bomb we learn that the bomb has killed off a great deal of the local fish unfortunately for our cast it has no effect on the sea which on the coast of spain for some set mayhem br br now when i say the monster is unrealistic i am not it's not just sort of fake looking i'm sure the filmmakers did the best with the ten dollars that they seem to have been but most of the time it looks like it was made out of a ball and an old not only that it has this ominous music that it wherever it goes music that sounds so much like the jaws theme that it's a wonder nobody got br br along with power timothy and ray are caught and the dialogue could not have been any more dismal through a series of plot our leading actors are thrown together in a quest to well i'm not sure what the purpose is and power have got to prove the is real in order to save their he is blamed for a induced she is locked in the loony bin after a none of this matters because by the end of the movie nothing has been resolved nobody admits the is real and it's not even dead furthermore power and are still on the from the law br br as illogical as it seems nobody but our heroes knows that the exists despite numerous a and a crushed bridge and they on an extended non adventure to track down and chase the monster away not kill it since they know they are no match for it their big plan is to use to scare it off although their scheme is the causes a big explosion in the water after it attacks a bridge support don't ask and the giant sea snake is so frightened that it away the critical viewer would wonder why the wasn't frightened off earlier in the movie when it caused a couple of big explosions after crashing into a but never mind it away and our heroes are sure it's gone forever the end br br i can only imagine the horror that the stars felt when they saw the completed film they just worked on a script and a couple of dim reaction shots could never have prepared them for the embarrassment of sharing screen time with a spliced in puppet stop motion at least the supporting characters got to have fun screaming and pretending to be by a giant head i'm not sure what was going on when they made this movie the monster is cheap but there are some rather elaborate sets so somebody did spend some time making those not to mention the stop motion animation involved it's seemingly played straight although maybe this film's sense of humor went over my head in the end the film is nothing more than an easy target for a drunken commentary watch it at a party for best results,negative

following which the update goes and shoots itself through the head rather apt considering the sorry state of this movie a sequel to a film which didn't need one br br what really about 2 is that the makers obviously didn't understand why the original was so good in the first place 7 was a witty vibrant satire of bad action movies 2 is just a bad action movie br br thin on dialogue particularly towards the tedious shoot out finale it little interest and possesses none of the energy or spirit of the original the spoof ads now a little tasteless warning continued use will cause skin cancer seem merely there as an and calling a new designer drug is nowhere near as subtle or as funny as the family board game br br the stop motion animation – the weakest element of the original – is used more while this sequel fails to include a credits sequence which makes it look even more cheap and ah you might say but what about the funny mayor or the way is to yes these are attempts at light relief as is himself up with a we're only human for the film's punchline but none are likely to laughter like the rest of the film they're and moronic attempts at entertainment br br the third and final film in the series titled 3 5 saw peter leave to be replaced by robert john burke who does well in a role with toned down language and violence it was an obvious to the kiddie market a action figure much throughout with it's social conscience too and new found arm and getting too silly the final film was never destined to be a masterpiece yet fluid direction by fred and a flowing pace make this one throwaway viewing br br then is the film proper 3 is the sequel which you could watch if there was nothing better on which leaves the second movie hanging in the middle an unwatchable of a picture a franchise vehicle that has nothing to say save for the pound signs that up is no paul just as comic artist frank miller and partner green aren't the writers that edward and michael were a tragic waste of a good if limited concept 4 10,negative

uses its protagonist as a metaphor for celebrities from a decade in america's shameful past which was comprised of an unexpected rise in pornography therefore resulting in an abundance of youth its lead character borrows traits from a various assortment of genuine actors involving himself in many illegal affairs that have been in by celebrities in hollywood and all too often exploited by the press it seems like the sort of tall tale that might appear on an e true hollywood story special drugs sex and violence the american dream but what goes up must come down and the bigger it is the harder it falls br br dreams are huge as is another valuable asset on his body real name is eddie adams a who dreams of becoming a star he believes that god gives one great talent to every individual on the planet and his gift is a rather unusual one after falling out with his mother eddie leaves home and meets the sleazy jack burt reynolds an adult film director who offers him work eddie eventually becomes a major porn star representing the leading actor in most of films with success eddie is told that he needs to a new for himself and so is born br br eddie himself is primarily based on infamous porn star john holmes whose life story was adapted in 2003 with which starred val kilmer is the better of the two proving that movies about pornography can be made without disgusting its target audience regular cinema goers br br the film takes place in 1977 an era of artistic pornography filmmakers truly believed that they could compensate for the low points of x rated features by adding deep stories and mesmerizing atmosphere in a way the film's director paul thomas anderson a very artistic approach to the project resulting in a gratuitous and artistic movie about a period in american history when was indeed both gratuitous and artistic style is so deep and so distinct that we soon feel as if we are the era first hand not a moment goes by where we are of the time range dealt with in the film br br all was not happy on the set of prior to filming anderson approached reynolds repeatedly asking him many separate times to play the role of eventually reynolds agreed but claimed that the film was horrible and the worst role of his career it before being nominated for a best supporting actor academy award and suddenly up a year before anderson had suffered title over sydney hard eight he preferred the latter title for his film and new line cinema thought the former was more he essentially lost the battle and anderson wisely avoided title this time around by the words boogie nights into his movie through the mouth of a character br br the casting of the film is one of its finest aspects the paul thomas anderson are here as well as a whole top notch cast of first to name some of the more well known stars john c phillip seymour hoffman luis william h macy heather graham and moore but the entire movie essentially borders down to mark as eddie who is surprisingly convincing in his role previously known for his singing career and disappointing hollywood has all the necessary traits to portray such a character this is his best role to date br br anderson knows how to his audience and take complete control of every scene when jack first meets eddie anderson uses stars in the backdrop a sign of things to come and hidden symbolism as finely as it can be the opening scene is three minutes a long tracking shot that follows jack and into a night club where most of the characters are first introduced it reminds me of the discussions regarding tracking shots in robert altman's 'the it works so brilliantly in boogie nights and is the first indication that anderson knows what he is doing behind the camera his style is fast paced in the vein of martin scorsese where shots around quite quickly but never seem rushed incidentally anderson references two classic scorsese shots the closing de niro mirror speech from and the tracking nightclub scene from anderson is a young growing director who is remarkably mature in story and direction despite his age whereas his first feature film was wise and poignant is even more so br br began as an effort of love on paul thomas account having filmed the extraordinary hard eight in 1996 film is to such an extreme that it almost seems genuine boogie nights us with its gratuitous content occasionally on the verge of pornography only it is far more sophisticated than such trash it is a blazing wonderful modern day masterpiece that is as mind numbingly explicit as it is wild and stylish arguably best film and among the greatest and most important projects of the last decade,positive

mr and mrs smith is one of the not too well known early american hitchcock's movie but if unfortunately also belongs to this category is an underrated masterpiece not all the movies signed by the master of suspense in that time the early 40's are really worth seeing and to tell the truth not discovering this film isn't really a lost br br mr and mrs smith is an average and conventional screwball comedy where it's rather hard to find the hitchcock's touch maybe you can catch a glimpse of his shadow isn't much in the cruelty that carole lombard is sometime capable of but it's well hidden in an package in a vertigo scene where two of the characters are trapped on top of a trade fair attraction and maybe in the character of the mother and that's about it even for the hitchcock fan there is little to connect with br br and for the screwball comedies amateur there isn't very much more none of the situation are exaggerated enough for being really funny and we're far from the masterpieces of for instance and if one or two scene are quite amusing not even the funniest in hitchcock's filmography who created comical situations in almost all his movies even psycho could be considered full of very dark humor so there is really little to save in this movie that can without annoying anyone or maybe only both hardcore fans of hitchcock and screwball comedy who are in love with carole lombard stays one of the not too well known early american hitchcock's movie,negative

this movie is a fascinating drama about the making of a movie the actor and the actress really can't stand each other but we build up to a scene in which they are to have sex she for the first time per script the actress shows little emotion on or off camera in the plot aside from she is in the early scenes on a beach the actor is self absorbed and increasingly defies the direction of the director i could not help being drawn in to the drama of are these two possibly going to act their way thru a sex scene ' that drama in itself becomes more exciting than the actual nudity and performed for the cameras not that isn't lovely and worth seeing naked however there is a pretty young stage hand who walks thru a few scenes as an extra i think that is her in the far left edge of one of the pictures 2 of 9 here in imdb i don't even know if this girl is credited but when she walks by fully dressed of course in confident indifference with her short blonde hair she is sexy who is this girl,positive

because it came from hbo and based on the imdb rating i watched the first season of this series what a waste the characters are occasionally interesting but mostly cartoon like the acting from good to mediocre talent with a s t r o n g emphasis on the latter not only prisoners also viewers should leave all hope at the cell door that this story is believable it's such a load of dung that you will need unusually strong to keep watching the violence as with most of the developments in the story is and whatever morality is supposedly served up it's of the variety if your idea of excellent television includes the the writing acting and overall production quality seen in the sopranos or six feet under avoid oz if you want to see a for illiterate watch oz stuff like this gives edgy a bad name,negative
this is truly a funny movie his dance scene done with the tape is one of the funniest scenes i can recall i thought the i am gay scene at the high school ceremony a bit though it was funny while watching it for the third time i started to pick up on a little small segments that i had missed one was when matt girl friend a classic tried to use a phone which she had never used before kevin made this film successful along tom this was also the first time i could appreciate debbie reynolds she proved that she can be funny she confirmed this in the tv series and grace ' one discovery that i found after the third viewing is lauren of feet fame she sticks out with her red but it is obvious that this is one of her first films bob is also very funny at the high school principle,positive
this type of show is not supposed to happen on television this is the type of usually reserved for independent film this is what only hbo is supposed to do fact is that denis has managed to come up with one of the best television shows ever easily joining the ranks of the sopranos oz ed etc kudos the gang at abc for showing that blue was not a and to mr and his gang for creating a truly unique viewing experience my only complaint is that the show is not long enough an hour would make it better but i can't wait for the next episode,positive
why is it that virtual x rated video game women can speak through their mouths but virtual fighting game champion has to use a combination of and over dramatic facial expressions i feel that either they needed to cast someone who looked more villain like michael big brown eyes don't exactly strike fear in the hearts of well anyone except for maybe casting directors who consistently cast him as either a villain or a heroic or they needed to just let him use his real voice and move his mouth and maybe give him a costume that would not make him stick out like a sore thumb when walking down the street but of course this is the future and we must assume that bad fashion taste is considered the norm,negative

strangers on a train was one of those film classics i had always heard about but somehow never gotten around to actually seeing i finally watched it a few weeks ago and as always with any hitchcock movie it not only stood up to the test of time it far most thrillers being made today you can see the inspiration for future action movies here the climactic ending with the out of control merry go round and the two villains each other reminded me of the big action sequence at the end of jan de speed of course strangers is over forty years older than speed and contains no modern special effects but the visceral thrill is there hitchcock was a true genius br br the not so subtle gay side of bruno robert walker in an amazing performance has taken form in many other psycho stalker figures in future movies consider him a male version of jennifer jason leigh in single white female he knows about guy before he even meets him on the train we almost get the feeling their contact isn't incidental and is soon entirely obsessed with him br br hitchcock loved the elements in his movies also see psycho for more blatant undertones and there's a lot of that here bruno hates his father and wants him to die so he can be with his mother his ways and obvious homosexuality must have just slipped by the censors in 1951 when gays were not allowed to be portrayed on the screen yet hitchcock gets the message through effectively when we see bruno in the on the wearing a very non with guy and to his mother br br the deep layers of this movie make it a fast paced thriller than you can return to again and again unfortunately it's being remade as a big budget hollywood production but after seeing the original i honestly can't imagine anything the sheer white thrills of this movie,positive
combining the conventions of both western and gothic horror and often directed as if it were an art movie this is one of and eastwood's best br br eastwood plays a soldier who after being wounded during the civil war takes in an isolated southern for young women shut away from the world the women project their romantic fantasies on to him and he responds with male manipulation but jealousy and raise their heads and he finds himself in a world of brutal revenge and boy is the revenge brutal br br beautifully shot by bruce and carefully paced the is a haunting elegant work that seems to have influenced the troubled sexuality of eastwood's own play misty for me and br br the film is a gripping depiction of a fierce battle of the and a mix of horror and sexuality all the characters are ambiguous displaying traits of both good and evil leaving it up to us to choose whom we should root for br br don left quite a legacy of fine films behind everything from of the body to dirty harry but though his early black and white pictures have aged well the majority of his colour films seem grainy dated and badly shot his gritty realism must have seemed fresh and 40 years ago but when viewed today i just don't think they've stood the test of time br br the however is in a different league mature ambiguous and shot it's a shame it isn't more widely known while technology and technique have rendered the majority of tough action thrillers the still audiences today due to it's surreal atmosphere and unique subject matter br br 8 5 10 better than the similarly themed black this is in my opinion best film part horror part drama part sexual odyssey the is a surprisingly arty film especially when considering that viewed his films to be quote a large part of the film's artistry is due to clint eastwood who would from this point make an effort to choose mature material,positive
i am not a big fan of the spielberg cruise version of this film and so i must throw in with the more humble version c thomas had more heart and more sympathy that cruise in the lead role at least in my opinion now this is hard to imagine until you strip away everything thing in the spielberg version that cost more than a thousand dollars there would be nothing left no special effects no sets no cruise because i doubt that anything cost more than a cool grand in the david michael version so comparing to i guess i have to go with the at least it gives independent movies a shot at the epic science fiction disaster market,negative
its incredible to me that the best rendition of this amazing story remains a cartoon made by walt disney in the 1940s but its true here another clumsy attempt and would be viewers with admirable while successfully those of us who have actually read the story original work is short by any measure and making a feature length film is bound to be a challenge one can either completely rewrite the story a la tim burton which is a discussion for another time or pad the bust line of the old girl with detail the latter is what is attempted here and if i may say so unimaginative and thoroughly modern new to character personalities such as religious in or in good old bones ruin the story's intent and a severe lack of talent by the filmmakers by the time the famous climax approached i had completely lost interest its the kind of film where you expect to see a smoking in the background,negative

lots of scenes and dialogue are flat out goofy but when you add it all up i e daily cycle from depressing to depressing bar to depressing hall to depressing smoke filled poker games and back home again you get a weird sense that somebody somewhere is trying to give a faithful depiction of the life circa 1955 whether it's sinatra who obviously would have up against this type of character growing up in and working in numerous bands or preminger who uses the soundtrack and the frankie subtext to slip the interior past the code cage you get a good companion piece to on the which was filmed almost exactly the same time sort of a faux work that leaves you realistically wondering how deep the drug culture is in american life,positive
pilot mitch jeff sees a while test flying a plane but nothing shows up on radar then planes and ships start disappearing and reports of a increase it turns out it's a giant monster bird that is attacking and killing but what is it and why is it here br br this has all the right elements for a classic it has an actually pretty entertaining script i was never really bored the acting is good for a 1950s monster movie doesn't the macho hero act and is quite good as the requisite female love interest she's also strong and takes care of herself even though she is off getting food and coffee for everyone all during the movie the problem here is the monster dear god it's terrible it looks like a deranged turkey it has a long neck a hilariously stupid some teeth a few of hair on its head and and oh yes it not roaring the actors had no idea what it looked like it was added after production actors and were horrified when they finally saw it in a theatre said his audience burst out laughing and he left the theatre quickly before the movie ended producer sam was responsible for this he wanted to save money and gave the world the stupidest monster ever and you can see the moving it too this gets 4 stars only because and are so good and the script is well done it gets no stars for the pathetic monster wait till you see it attack what is obviously a toy train worth a look if you're a horror fan to see what has to be the stupidest monster ever,negative
i guess this is the first time i have seen a movie i really liked him in his title role as a butcher boy the way he moves is very funny in my opinion for example how he handles his knife and the way he rolls a cigarette i think he is a good actor his facial expressions really suit the role he plays for example how he at the audience in the end but one might add that that was probably not too difficult anyway i think he would have deserved a longer career as you probably know it was ruined by greedy who made money by false that said he was involved in a scandal br br the plot is not very important in the first half and are employees at a store and rivals for affection after a heavy food fight is sent to a girls' school by her father the store owner this is the beginning of the second half both and enter the school in drag and the fight for continues some of the characters' names are different in the version that i have seen it seems that for some reason they replaced the original title cards with new ones br br there are a lot of corny gags like food fights and but they are done well in my opinion and there are some gags i really liked for example how they make the dog run the pepper mill or is it a coffee mill or the scene when a coat although it is obviously not necessary or when miss the head of the girls' school and he her back br br buster keaton is also funny in this his first movie a good addition to the cast in the first half he is a at the store in the second half he supports in his fight for i liked his for example when pushes him from one room of the school to another he doesn't show a simple but lands on his hands and his head and does a little watch out for one scene in the food fight throws a bag at him but it misses and hits the store owner instead that makes buster laugh which must be a since he normally always shows a neutral expression which as you probably also know already got him the 'the great stone one more note al st john who plays was nephew and later became famous for the role of that he played in lots of westerns br br i don't like this one as much as i like for example and 'the films that buster made later without and it didn't make me laugh out loud often but it made me smile a lot so i have given it eight points,positive
humour is a very individual thing and the audience at the sneak preview of the boy seemed to enjoy it more than i did i found it an affair more representative of the old fashioned racial humour of the australian cinema of the 1960s and 1970s the boy meets girl plot never takes off because of a lack of chemistry between lucy bell and nick while i found laughs thin on the ground if you want to spend your money on this wait until it's on video,negative

i learned much from previous viewer reactions is there one that does not mention too is concept i love fred astaire musicals the great great songs grace but if you see brainless rich dancing on the unemployed that's a valid criticism of any movie is in the values of its time place not to mention those who it – the who call the tune great art all as did as did quiet on the western i confess i saw it last 40 odd years ago but the images are burned in my brain it's the greatest battle scene ever likely to be filmed and it makes you horrified to be thrilled did someone say that's real death you're watching real extras died making this is now special effects defined it seems likewise for an age of attention had many propaganda catholic church the was still at it when they called on ancient to get the german christian to recognize in the 1990s – remember the chaos forget the props the lighting of painted the medieval world – like a there's one in court palace showing a massacre crude dutch propaganda maybe but it tears at the heart stylized acting so what's henry v olivier movie does anyone believe english medieval knight killers talked like that as said the music of is magnificent only ken russell had the balls genius to match sound image at this 100 level ok you want the bit i'll risk the every time did not copy rather his model seems to have been those worn by in nazi of the 1930s was a genius but unlike hollywood directors he had near non commercial time funding modern russian directors are free from political but have no money even had to make a late great movie in communist russia he was but in his own country much like russell how much propaganda is in the eye of the imagine sane people from another peace loving world how would they react to would the battle or the for the dead dominate their if we didn't know about the gas ss what about of the where can i get a dvd cheap,positive

milo is yet another answer to a question nobody ever asked do we really need more slashers i for one think we already have more than enough i guess the professional tall guys so in this one we deal with a murderous kid that's also a zombie or a ghost when he feels like it a long time ago he drowned but that didn't bother him and he still kills people friday the 13th what's that one day his survivors have a big reunion and as a surprise twist milo comes to pay them a visit through some really bad shots that show everything except the murders the cast is out till only the final girl is left to find out dull i mean dark secret she and her friends have been dying to know once discovered milo goes on yet another murderous rampage isn't it his yet and the girl well she screams a lot the acting is not even bottom of the barrel the barrel refuses to be associated with it milo can be one creepy bastard from time to time i give him that but some movies just can't be saved without a great script or gratuitous nudity,negative
a traveling couple and hamilton stumble onto the town of where kids have slaughtered the adults and are always eager to slaughter more along the way they're separated and peter of course must save his wife from these tiresome er terrible in this very bad adaption of one of king's best short stories in the original story king managed to create tension and draw personality of his characters however all of that has been from the production and all that is left is a repetitive bore which is far too predictable to be all that suspenseful also the effective ending used in the story is in favor dumped for a happy ending which makes the overall impact mute there is some atmosphere and stylish directing but no plot to back any of it up the kids are woefully unconvincing also br br 1 5 matt bronson,negative
well i think i've finally seen my last woody allen movie i read the review in the newspaper and went to see this movie with the expectation of having a good woody allen experience as i've had many times in the past well that was not the case this movie has nothing to offer even with the wonderful performance by the talented sean penn this movie failed one of the features of his other movies is multiple characters variety witty dialogue this movie basically consisted of only one character very one dimensional it had almost no laughs it probably looked good on paper i think the only thing special was the performance of samantha now i'll be looking for her movies in the future so in conclusion this movie was a major disappointment,negative
too much added with too much taken away from a great western that was written by about the texas rangers vs the indian this screenplay takes that away only to fill this mini series with a lot of warm fuzzy relationships that in truth were secondary to the main storyline it ends with a totally unbelievable and detached ending not written in the book that makes you question how we are to be transported to br br the series main characters were in truth cast very well the filming locations were excellent but this mini series should have stayed true to what is a great book,positive

presents an interesting mix of original concepts in screaming teen cliché horror with a more thriller like pacing in some ways is very successful but in many other ways the film fails miserably br br overall avoided the typical of the and innocence of youth of endless horror films in the like of cabin fever texas chainsaw massacre and countless other films where unsuspecting and relatively naive and innocent teenagers have sex run around screaming and one by one are off by some sort of monster instead this innocence is replaced with pride and arrogance the characters had several opportunities to save themselves from death and despair but failed to do so due to their own personal demons in the end you were left with the feeling that there were no and perhaps are no innocent victims br br as the name implies the film also touches greatly on following a leader or authority this was used in a direct sense of if the main character would become like the serial killer and was also used less directly throughout the film following a central figure is a theme throughout the film br br through all this the film makers also a lot of cliché which i suspect was intentional and gave the film a unique mixture of depth as well as which i found intriguing this perhaps inadvertently plays well with the characters who are at first appearance very shallow but as the story unfolds it becomes obvious that they are at least the two main male characters quite complex br br technically the film has a lot of problems however the cinematography which is typically regarded highly i find rather and over stylized formulaic 2 3 approaches far too many transitions i felt were also over stylized the use of symbolism was not only vague but also greatly over used br br the plot was poorly planned and relied exclusively on in order to achieve a rather hokey twist ending which was poorly resolved and leaves viewers confused methods used to resolve the climax are cheap and ill prepared motivations are unclear and major plot points remain in the end br br overall the film's relative originality themes and are lost in a of poor technical execution over stylized imagery unclear motives and unnecessary symbolism and cheap twists only by a lack of or entirely incorrect information br br if the film were better executed it would have been excellent however receives only two stars in my opinion,negative
just when i thought nothing could be as offensive and or irritating as a billy i had the intellectually shattering experience of renting this piece of garbage peter barnes and john should be brought up on criminal charges for this script into the public the actors need to be charged as serving no less than a lifetime away from the public eye br br this production offers the for dramatic effect we have taken poetic license with certain facts or some such statement to fully you for the absolute rewrite of a bible story which needed no drama added what they did add was enough to make your i q drop three full points for every five minutes of viewing time br br the poetic license taken characters so bizarre you'll recognize nothing but the names of a few and of course the br br for some reason and lot are both living in so maybe was in switzerland on a trip wife played by carol kane is a and when she's turned to a of salt lot breaks off her finger and carries it around in what appears to be an empty baby food jar if that's poetic i'm a br br when who has now begun drinking wine in that could help the about the tough job of the building project he one morning to find that god has delivered enough to his burden at least i think it was god it looked like a delivery from neatly and maybe is really an agent for god rather than bore you with the being loaded i'll you with the account of the pirate attack on the you think this movie is filled with such insulting nonsense after an time on the waters spies a pirate ship heading right for them and who might the sea captain be well duh it's lot of course my only surprise was that his uncle wasn't aboard if you're going to slaughter a plot line slaughter all of it the attempt is and the was pathetic not poetic i think it was around this mark that my prevented me from myself anymore br br an ugly senseless moronic of anything remotely resembling a bible account on a scale of 1 10 this movie is mind abuse stupid and insulting you'll be more entertained by reading the yellow pages,negative
this is a wonderful new movie currently still showing in cinemas in my country its director the is in my humble view perhaps the only contemporary italian director along with to deserve being called great that is apart from the old masters still around and occasionally still out movies it's one of my greatest regrets that contemporary italian cinema has been since the mid 70s mostly due to a dire lack of funding and of new talent something which can be transferred to most fields and which makes italy one of the most static countries of our time production wise both in an industrial and cultural sense unlike say china and this among other things is precisely the subject of latest movie few directors can speak to me about the true present state of my country and the world as can yet his pictures also have a precious and and for those already worrying that they may be slow and worthy rest assured of the ones i've seen they most certainly aren't at least not if you're used to quality european cinema br br the basic plot outline vincenzo is a at an steel plant factory somewhere in italy probably the north he is played by sergio one of contemporary most versatile and talented actors when a major chinese steel company some of the italian steel industrial vincenzo who struggles to make himself understood with the non italian speaking chinese director tries to tell him that the machine is and its needs an element he's working on building himself he warns them that not doing this might have very dangerous consequences meanwhile a young chinese woman called liu acts as between the two men but seems to struggle to find adequate for some of technical the italian eventually loses his patience with her virtually pushing her aside and asking her to hand him the chinese italian so that he can do the himself br br despite the following morning he finds that the chinese factory director and his employees have returned to their own country while not his advice about the adequate use of the industrial machine at all thus vincenzo with his great integrity sets off for china and here begins an endlessly fascinating road movie through china a very 21st century odyssey through the asian giant a latter day quest for the secrets of the mysterious nation not quite as in all of movies the journey itself becomes far more important than whether its ultimate mission is carried out or not in fact the way in which the point is literally brought home not without a touch of humour is a lovely poignant and irony which made my eyes well up while i was simultaneously smiling the is let in on the secret that trip was ultimately completely useless but he himself doesn't know it and goes home a satisfied man a innocent at least you figure he's happy sort of br br the that characters on totally and them down to their bare human they are without name status or someone to put in a word for them these theo like themes are also explored in actually my favourite movie closely followed by la stella che non in order of personal in the 1994 movie two italian travel to to do business just like vincenzo they intend to go there do what they have to do and then go back home instead one of these two italians accidentally ends up on an almost journey through this land just after the fall of communism br br but let us go back to la stella che non once vincenzo is in china he predictably discovers that the seemingly simple task of the to its new owner is anything but straight forward the piece of new location is seemingly almost impossible to determine unless he on an journey through china when he comes across liu the young he'd now working as a he tries to speak to her but she in a hostile manner him that because of him she'd lost her job as back in italy played by the relative newcomer liu soon becomes a to when she figures that she could do worse than to act as guide and for the italian on his trip obviously for a consistent sum of cash this young chinese actress may not have the beauty of zhang nor the movie star of li but her charming and pretty face a combination of strength intelligence dignity and humour that'll make her features difficult to forget once you've seen the movie furthermore she and have wonderful emotional chemistry as co stars br br weaves dramas that are serious poetic mythical post neo and humorous all at once while maintaining a heart warming ability to explore the fleeting essence of humanity in everyday circumstances a documentary like what is actually a conceived of faces and places a which also manages to a cinematography of breath taking beauty the photography here is yet gorgeous as a movie on the in an industrial and emotional br br eye is a grown up one yet also never a cynical or one the masterful camera angles also often gives a sense of in the eyes of the chinese bringing home a sense of and cultural that's very rare in movies about a familiar exploring an unfamiliar non western country i cannot recommend this movie enough,positive
it was so boring no plot whatsoever basically a watered down version of the lion king mixed in with animal farm again no plot at all horrible worst hour and a half of my life oh my gosh i had to walk out of the theatre for a few minutes just to get some relief i maybe twice all of the semi funny parts are in the previews i hate movies like that yeah the movie pretty much sucked i don't know how it got such good ratings and reviews there is no plot or storyline if you do go see this movie bring a or a girlfriend boyfriend to keep you occupied through out awful i don't think i've ever gone to a movie and disliked it as much it was a good thing that the tickets only cost five dollars because i would be mad if i'd have paid 7 50 to see this crap,negative
this film is an attempt to appeal to a younger of to 24 and an insult to all of them i refuse to believe that that age group is that vapid as to be entertained by this unnecessary remake early in the film one of the characters i am surrounded by idiots this is the defining moment in the film which goes down from there full of clichés red scares and unexplained events the film is also full of characters who are not exactly a formula all too familiar in dumb horror movies and that crappy it's so dark i cant see scenes stolen from chainsaw massacre but merely annoying not building any tension nor horror it's difficult to film in the dark and sometimes darkness is a great vehicle in a film that's suppose to have tension but my own feeling was that the less you see in this case the better maybe he didn't want to wait until morning because he didn't care other than it might cost him more money to do night scenes well or he doesn't know how who knows unless you have never seen a horror film in your life or you are two or three years old every aspect of this film is predictable and done before warning paris hilton is in this movie enough said all in all a slasher film which begs the question where the h ll is the wax it was treated like a lost leader if you're bored as possible and all other are out or you're just in the mood for a bad horror film which isn't really scary or you'd like to see paris have a pole smash through her head go ahead and take a chance it's not the worst movie i've ever seen but if this is what the producers of this film thinks a younger audience wants i pray that they are a profit driven film with no attempt to achieve any kind of art nor respect for the genre you know smart characters make for a scarier movie i believe this is debut as a director besides commercials and music videos he has another one coming out in 2006 called goal 2 hopefully his goal is to make a better film,negative
this would have to rate as one of the worst films of all time the film screened at the italian film festival in melbourne australia after the screening not only did i want my money i wanted the 1 5 wasted hours of my life back too i have a very broad tolerance level when it comes to the of some european film making but this is one of those films that is selected for festivals based on the reputation of the filmmaker alone this film is proof that while such may satisfy the of the film maker and the selection there is absolutely no joy for the audience there is no character development whatsoever the plot is a mess the style is nonsensical the shot selection is appalling and the editing is worse by the end of the first reel you'll wonder if you walked into the wrong cinema and by the end of the third reel you'll be begging to be put out of your misery this film is an abomination,negative
i find it sad that just because edward norton did not want to be in the film or have anything to do with it people automatically think the movie sucks without even watching it or giving it a chance i really hope norton did not do this he is a fine actor and all but he scared people away from a decent movie br br i found it entertaining it wasn't mind blowing or anything with crazy special effects but it was not a bad it was fun to watch but definitely not a bad horrible movie br br 7 10,positive

queen of the desert is always being out as a masterpiece of australian cinema i found it quite disappointing the lead actors are great is aging beautifully guy should do more comedy instead of the roles he chooses and i've been a fan of hugo since i saw him play ago the cinematography is great but if you've ever been to the australian you'd know that the air is so clear and the light so brilliant that they could have shot it on the movie equivalent of a box and it still would have looked spectacular br br so what's my problem well three things first there is not a sympathetic female character in the whole film a woman who has to earn her living shooting balls out of her in a pub deserves our sympathy wife doesn't get much better treatment br br second the scene when they sing i will survive to a group of is offensive to try to draw any sort of parallel between the struggles of drag queens and and the almost total destruction of culture which is what i assume the scene is supposed to do shows a level of historical understanding worthy of paris hilton br br last of all and the greatest of the film is that it just isn't funny enough did elliott actually talk to any drag queens when writing the film anyone who knows a drag queen or three or four knows that most of them have like wits and they're not afraid to use them now i can understand that a lot of drag queen banter probably would have got the film refused but elliott should have been able to gather enough fit for the material to complete his film br br so all in all a waste of a good idea and a great cast,negative
this was only the second version of the classic story by charles dickens i had seen and sadly it turned out to be one of the worst the film opens with a quick live action piece where simon as charles dickens begins the story of a christmas carol and then obviously it goes to animated story itself you probably already know it scrooge is the cold blooded businessman who refuses charity and hates christmas he is visited by nicolas cage who warns him of the visits of the other three ghosts of christmas past jane present sir michael and the silent future yet to come after all this he obviously realises the true magic of christmas and promises to be in future the only changes i noticed to the story were scrooge having mice as friends a stupid idea ex love belle kate needing to see him to help at the the ghost of christmas present showing the two kids want and ignorance scrooge still gets haunted after being turned nice and he's worried he can't keep his promise to stay nice also starring rhys as bob juliet stevenson as mrs jones as nephew fred and colin as the animation is not great quality the actors have wasted their voices for a worthless piece of garbage the only good thing that comes from this film is the good voice of kate singing the closing song what if as for the rest it is just excruciatingly awful very poor,negative
one unfortunate reality of post soviet russia was that the people's didn't change much from soviet times as we see in window to paris most people are still as depressed as ever while they are encouraged to go after money br br then everything changes for music teacher after he finds a window that leads to paris he and his friends are naturally quite amazed at what they find this movie has one of the funniest discussions of elvis and edith that i've ever heard so watch this movie you're sure to love it it's sort of a to being john,positive
ok so this is horror i get horror but i don't get horrific black white is artistic but too much black is enough said about the lighting the story a serial killer of these around it's been done in the past and yes it will continue to be done but i hope not my question is when will the audience tire of this dilemma i guess the director thought he would do something different portray killing children well that's been done before too so i guess he had to go to shock value have them killed in the darkest of fashions okay the audience was shocked disgusted and getting up out of my seat i felt all of these things so was the director successful yes absolutely these are the things he wanted me to feel and i did now what do i do with the feelings and more importantly what is the message here with the amazing talent that francis was gifted with could he ever consider it to making films that speak of dare i say coming out of the darkness i was left in the dark after viewing this film my soul was is that what this craft is about there are many such films out there they make the bucks i'm told so what's up with the people that want to see all these visuals what is going on in this world that people will pay to be shocked would i see this again not ever,negative
the murderous doll from child's play and 2 crappy sequels is dead but his ex girlfriend jennifer gets his remains and using voodoo for him then through circumstances too convoluted to get into she is killed and has her soul put into another doll together they fall in love and kidnap a nice couple nick to take them to coffin to get an to make and real people again br br a lot better than it sounds after the last two sequels to child's play both of which were horrible i was expecting the worst but this actually was lots of fun the movie doesn't take itself seriously for a second seriously how could it and the lines and situations are actually quite funny also there are a few very gory murders thrown in to satisfy us horror fans and the film never stops moving the movie also has a few things usually not found in a horror movie a gay best friend gordon michael who is intelligent and not played for laughs and a sequence in which has his shirt off just to show his muscular body john ritter has a nice cameo too as a sheriff br br the acting is good is young very handsome and likable doesn't have much to do but pulls it off and brad the voice of and are hilarious as the murderous dolls my favorite part is when the dolls have sex don't ask and she asks for a rubber and he responds but i'm made of rubber the special effects are good no lousy cgi here and this is one of the few horror films to mix humor and violence in an entertaining way well worth seeing i give it a 9,positive
a young woman nicole alexander and her boyfriend jess joey become targets for a deranged serial killer after stopping for a at a remote road side rest stop br br what might have been an effectively scary in more competent hands turns out to be a confusing ill considered mess under the sloppy direction of john who also wrote the screenplay there is a good deal of violence a brief of nudity and confident performances from the cast but the silly script leaves the viewer with so many unanswered questions one cannot help but feel disappointed br br on the surface the film plays out like a standard cliché ridden on the movie but an ex writer for the x files throws in some subtle supernatural elements which suggest that his aim was something else entirely a ghost story with the rest stop acting as home to a vengeful out to br br by reading up on the film checking out theories here on imdb and watching the extras on the dvd certain plot elements begin to make a little more sense although even with the advantage of extra information there are still many questions left unanswered in my opinion any film that requires this much investigation to make itself only partially understood is not particularly a good one,negative
combine good casting bad writing good bad dialogue and good story idea with lots of potential but is never realized then you have br br just bought the movie for a buck it is worth it but not much more br br good to see mark act again br br there should be a decent sequel made to the damage from the original or at least give it the proper attention it should have received in the first place br br score gave your attention from the opening credits however the long shots of planes and the even longer revealing of interesting plot points his attention getting score br br it is really easy to dog a movie like this after all it is by the producer of and the director of and a tremendous cast but it is what it is and that ain't much br br favorite line we're going to make it ha ha boom,negative
this movie is perfect for any aspiring screen writer actor or director by watching this movie you will see all the things that are wrong with the film industry as it is today there are so many clichés that it me to sit through this movie nothing about it is original and every single line spoken has been ripped off from those clichéd movies that we all saw in the 90's although it does have a few cheap laughs overall it is wrong wrong wrong i was so immensely bored and the movie was so predictable and pathetic i actually noticed how much make up was onto tara face to hide those massive and from her endless seriously she was wearing so much foundation you could literally it off and an entire bottle of it br br what shocked me though was that so many of the talented and popular cast would sign on for this piece of junk and i do not know how i sat through that horrible screaming that does you know when he's like angry or something and he shouts his words in this annoying manner horrifying talking face being ten shades darker than her neck a drugged up owl a script that seemed like the work of a three year old br br seriously in my whole life there has been no movie that i have watched that i did not in enjoy no matter how bad it was this deserves an award for being the first bad bad bad i don't think there is a single word in the english that can possibly describe this trashy movie today i was trying to re watch it but i had to turn it off like ten minutes in because i was about to cry from the overwhelming amount of clichés br br don't even bother to rent this at your blockbuster it's not worth a as a matter of fact i am willing to pay anyone out there considering to watch this movie so they can go do something decent with their lives,negative
first of all i want to say ang lee did a very good job on this one i watched it yesterday and i was surprised the story is very good but all the ignorant people would say this sucks people cant fly to them i say it's fiction and that it is this is not to be taken as a film about reality you could say this is a fairytale and a very pleasant to watch asian fairytale the can actually blow your mind because there so artistically filmed ang lee has a very u might say big talent the fight are very cool and beautifully brought to the viewer but it's sad but this film didn't get the appreciation it should have gotten but ang lee did fortunately get the attention he deserved with his blockbuster broke back mountain so even for viewers who are not interested in the story the images are entertaining enough,positive
sometimes i wonder if today's horror movies rely on human torturing to make people scared if so then there's a sad future for horror movies dee tries to make you feel scared and terrified this movie does exactly this but not in a good way now there are some moments in the film where that there is a chance that is saving this film from falling into a hole but let's be frank this movie didn't fall into a hole it was already in a hole and makes no attempt whatsoever to bring itself out of it when you finish watching this movie you are left sick depressed dirty and insane i have a feeling that was the intention of this movie what is lower than dirt,negative
was curious to know the name of the village where the filming in italy was done i know the name villa san however would like to know the exact location in the cinematography is excellent and it would be wonderful to visit that area i would also be interested to know what the location of the desert shooting is as well travel in europe and africa and would am interested in visiting the areas that the book and film were about please e mail me with any information on the sites that any one might have we would be very grateful and if any one knows if the villa in is still that would be awesome as well i any information and i thank you in advance for your time,positive
this movie the now infamous where top nazis gathered to discuss the and of the final solution first off i want to say i was amazed to see kenneth branagh play a nazi with the back blonde hair he certainly looked the part but he didn't really act the part well there was none of the menace cruelty and in the end he came out looking like a keeping the meeting going the real would not have let the get out of control the way it did in the film br br the best performance of all was undoubtedly colin who played dr william the man who wrote the race laws and who gave legal to everything the nazis did performance was stunning the main vocal to what was the best part of all was when he was dressing down one of the nazi thugs the thug i'll remember you and replies you should i'm very well known the film is historically accurate but let's it down to what it really is 90 minutes of a group of men around a table discussing shouting and there's no excitement no real conflicts except the brief argument it's just 90 minutes of talking same room same table same people br br i'm not sure if the dvd is worth the money i for one felt short changed,negative
this is definitely a good movie unlike what other people are saying and i have both seen the movie and the end is cheesy but that is part of the package to experiment with death is the same as trying to defy it so the movie is cool for those who wish to see a classic kevin bacon movie see this please take care from we will write 10 lines if you really want us 2 but we think it is a waste of time bye the rest of this review should not be taken seriously because we just wrote it to fill the 10 line which is crazy but we are kind people and will therefore adapt to the rules that are set out for us so people watch this movie not because we wrote 10 lines but because it is good and by the way we wrote 12 lines,positive
the whole for supposedly being more aware in this weird time is that you are blue the blue state mentality this is supposed to get us off the hook for what is was happening during the last few years in our country the usa it doesn't get anyone off the hook but it makes us feel better as though we aren't in any way from living here and getting all the good stuff that a us citizen gets just by being a us citizen br br but i'm so sick of about this it doesn't do any good i haven't taken much action lately and i wonder how many people have maybe i'm just down because my job was last month and now i'm looking for work in the tech support field where most of the jobs are quickly going to india and other places overseas i'm thinking that soon it's not going to pay off to be a citizen here with the screwed up and the job market and the obsession with war these days it seems like anyone who speaks out gets jumped and about there anyway back to this review usa the movie is an obscure dvd that makes me realize that some people have taken action whether it's through politics or arts or media the filmmaker is obviously passionate willing to go outside the norm frustrated unique etc br br i looked through the whole site that's linked to the dvd and got lost in all the etc that are there the dvd does that too has references to different times views and historical points sometimes someone does something out there,positive
after reading many good things about it i finally watched the with a cast of great actors like redford and dafoe one would at least expect a decent film after the closing credits had rolled i was still shocked by how bad and incoherent this movie actually was br br is it supposed to be an art film i don't think so cause it is too melodramatic for that the bad thing is that the drama seems way too forced and unrealistic br br the truth is that the script makes absolutely no sense first of all it never really explains the motive behind the actions of any of the characters it just their so called personal issues what's so bad about character's life that he has to clear it the fact that he occasionally his wife the guy is a millionaire who has had a good life has a great son and a great daughter a wife that loves him and a girlfriend that also seems to be way above the generic mistress type of woman o and a new born the only problem seems to be that he has been working hard for all his life to be a successful person so what it seems that his hard work has really paid off and there's actually no real problems with his life br br then we come to character here's someone who was a manager for one of companies and was fired why is this guy unemployed for eight years it seems that he must have some kind of good education to have a job like the one he had in the first place and seems to have been a man with solid ideas about his work as evident by his flashback of a conversation that he had with redford when he was working for him why couldn't a man like that get a decent job and have a decent life cause he was once fired totally unrealistic br br the film really tries to portray these men as tortured souls or something and that comes off as really cheesy in fact i would say that if the creators of this film were trying to say something about the american dream then they failed miserably br br as for the actual events that take place during the movie they also make no sense at all in fact the last 20 minutes of the film come off as an insult to the viewer's intelligence because there's not one thing that takes place that actually makes any sense redford seems to have about a 1000 chances to escape yet he doesn't at one moment he is ready to escape and yet he misses his chance cause he feels sorry for his and doesn't want to hurt him then dafoe picks up his gun from the water and the mud which should be useless if you fire a shot with a gun after the gun has been in the water and mud it will possibly blow up in your face and the gun is in perfect condition the way an unemployed useless as portrayed in this film and mentally unstable character manages to the entire fbi with such ease brings the narrative of this film to twilight zone levels the cheesy ending with wife illusion comes to finish the viewer off br br this film pretends to be something it's not i e a quality sophisticated psychological thriller unfortunately it fails so hard that it becomes a disaster and that's the word that describes this film best a disaster,negative
this movie is so bad but its so bad that i was laughing my ass off for people that like movies do not watch this one for people who like movies good and bad i recommend this one the story lines shaky the script is horrible the acting is horrible to mediocre the soundtrack throughout the movie was corny but i loved it the cool were a plus tho ha ha if it can bleed it can die the fight scenes me up it seemed to me like they spent more time on those parts than any other the fight scenes for the most part were pretty clean i almost feel like this movie could have been good if it weren't for the f x no it would have still been a the eye thing was corny and how the chick was eating the guys stomach in the kitchen they done something where shed be actually eating something or at least put more of the fake blood on her face and the explosion disappointed me i thought they might have gotten real fire instead of crappy computer stuff and the ending was so predictable which surprised me when they actually did what i though they might do so overall id say this is a classic as far as crappy movies go its in my bottom 5,negative
at last a film to rival and in terms of sheer and utter this is actually the first film i've ever given 1 out of 10 for on imdb and with good reason br br for one the cast is nothing special that's usually not a problem for me except that the only character that's in anyways interesting or different from all the rest is grand l secondly the production values a television sci fi such as has more convincing sets and all of the underwater scenes not handled by the teams are filmed on dry sets with that aren't very convincing this film is literally the worst part though is that this film is boring for the first 45 minutes i felt as if we were going round and round in circles it's a shark t no really t i'm not making this up t there it is now i didn't see anything let me guess t after then it picks up ever so slightly for about twenty minutes or so then we're back to the dialog run around dialog is not a bad thing but that's all this film has characters talking that too is not a bad thing except this film isn't very good at it the dialog is often contrived and clichéd and is not very interesting to listen to i don't see any point the special effects this film has worse qualities br br the sets are small and unrealistic the acting is sub par the script oh lord the script is worse than a garbage of sci fi television has to up it makes you wonder where the budget of this film is or was br br yet another awful awful addition to the there's about four series of films bring on steve please,negative
i've watched this movie on a fairly regular basis for most of my life and it never gets old for all the remarks and insults mostly from david spade tommy boy has a giant heart and that's what keeps this movie funny after all these years br br tommy callahan chris is the son of big tom callahan brian master car parts salesman and has ridden on that all his life but after his died dies on his wedding day tommy learns that the company is in debt and about to be bought by ray dan the owner of a huge car parts company so in order to save the company tommy has to go on the road to sell the new along for the ride though not by choice is richard hayden david spade a former of who was big right hand man br br the movie rides on the chemistry between the two snl stars and real life best friends chris and david spade the duo has enough comic energy going between them to power the world it's the big dumb guy versus the smart little guy it works and some of their scenes are funny and spade are actually decent dramatic actors as well although the film is primarily a comedy it has its fair share of drama but spade and especially are just as good there as when they're making the audience laugh br br forgive me but i have to talk about chris a little more i read his biography the chris show a biography in three acts for anyone who cares and understanding who chris was in real life made this movie more special to me chris was a genuinely good person who and ultimately failed to his although this was the first movie he had a major role in it is his best film it really showed who he was and just how much talent he had knowing story adds another to this movie although it doesn't make it any less funny br br and spade are matched with a good on screen cast rob lowe is suitably slimy as new brother and bo derek is solid as his step mother brian is great as big tom makes it easy to believe that they're father in son big tom is just as crazy as his son although he's smarter and more mature dan gives one of his best performances as giving tommy the hard truth behind advertising julie warner is also good as love interest michelle br br for me peter segal is one of the great comedy directors he keeps the pace quick and energetic but most importantly he knows how to make comedy funny he doesn't the jokes and he understands that funny actors know what they're doing and he allows them to do it but segal goes a step further he gives tommy boy a friendly almost nostalgic tone that both the genuinely and the br br critics didn't like tommy boy shame on them a movie doesn't have to be super sophisticated or intellectual to be funny god and spade were forced to do muted comedy a la the office this is a great movie and one of my all time favorites,positive
this is a fact that this is the 1st feature film to be shown in cinema theaters but not in for a simple reason we don't have cinema theaters in our large kingdom not only one cinema theater the government forbidden opening cinema theaters after the or the religious police or both asked for closing it in the late 1970s the early 1980s the art with wrong sex relationships and stuff like that i don't see a powerful reason why we don't open cinema theaters we have many videos stores throughout the kingdom we watch movies in the tv from some satellite channels we can the showtime set channels and after all movies in general seems harmless in many ways i know many people how go to countries only to watch a couple of films i personally went to several times only to watch films in theaters because watching it there is big fun unlike watching a movie home pay the most expensive cinema ticket in the world we travel to watch movies while the rest of the world have cinema theaters around every town this is one of the problems that we are having br br the movie is produced and presented by filmed entertainment which is a major company belongs to the prince bin the man in the world br br the movie's title is a word means literally how are you but it is also a means what's up sometimes used as a to say bad about something and sometimes is used as a to tell someone to mind his business not to in someone else's affairs anyway i think they meant how are you what's up in the same time i could be wrong though br br male actors are from like who is very famous and has some popularity after winning 1st prize in show more like american idol he works in some tv programs like the version of cash taxi the other famous actor is who is funny and has a very good sense of humor other actors like al al and ali al are less famous and they work on some tv series shows female actresses are non and they did a very good job speaking the accent actress in leading role actress al not that we don't have actresses but are few and not that good br br a critic al who writes for newspaper the most popular newspaper in the kingdom wrote about it saying lets not expect much of the 1st feature film it was born in unusual circumstances therefore we can't judge it under the usual standards like any other film it is a fact that the movie hit a huge financial success in its 1st opening days only in kingdom of the movie is fresh and is about a family deals with controversial fresh issues inside the society like women driving cars the low shallow thoughts about the arts the of the society by a certain group the differences between being conservative and being an the ideas are good but you feel you are lost in the middle of the movie one of the movie's is the beautiful music score by which was good but sometimes it doesn't match or express what's in the picture al did a great job his performance was the best alongside with the biggest loser is the leading actor who came behind the supporting actors al ali al and who did a good job within the limits of their roles br br after all al hal even with all of its still an ok movie and it is a very good 1st step of and the movie became the speech of people and streets which is a golden goal to make a strong inside the society about movies in general until they become aware of the importance of the art and other arts br br ps there is another filmmaker claims that he directed the 1st movie titled shadows of silence br br i haven't seen the movie yet i hope i've been helpful,negative
this totally odd ball feature is a typical and prime example of shocking 70's horror the events are thoroughly confusing and it takes up quite a while before you figure out what the hell is going on but the brooding atmosphere sucks you in immediately right from the bizarre intro showing a couple of eerie children turning toys into real life war you just know this become an and gritty shocker of satan soon appears to be another installment in the alleged creepy little town hiding a dark secret sub genre a young widower traveling with his new girlfriend and 8 year old daughter stops in a remote little town to report a car accident they witnessed on a nearby highway the villagers behave very hostile and insist the on leaving right away the town clearly in an ambiance of fear and panic as local children inexplicably and unnatural forces maintain everyone within the boundaries of town is in the grip of a satanic cult apparently ruled by the elderly members of the community i really liked of satan a lot the story reminded me of a novel written by john but i can't remember the title it also dealt with a cult of elderly people youthful villagers for their own greedy merits the film mainly relies on creepy scenery like dolls and witchcraft but a slightly more involving and coherent screenplay would have been nice the subject matter often raises a lot of issues and questions and director bernard can't always provide us with answers the climax is terrific very seventies meaning shocking and unforgettable beautifully shot film too,positive
the problem with tv today is that people have been spoiled by tv viewing this type of television show is the equivalent of elevator music or easy listening jazz the typical viewers idea of continuity is remembering who got voted off the island last week and wondering who will be the next to go show them a program like surface dr who or anything with a plot arc of more than three episodes and well they'll just flip back to survivor br br 95 of the sheep watching tv don't want to rack their brains they want excuses to not think they want to make sure the tube lives up to its name and they don't want shows that try and go any other route because of this surface and many other high quality shows that should have lasted far longer have gotten the axe br br tv viewers don't want stories or morals or philosophy or anything over a third grade level they want people eating or over real life series no such thing you cannot observe something without changing the very nature of what you observe or shows involving groups of people having and then about it to their friends br br today's television is nothing but a and the few you can pick out of the dust are just tossed out because no one even knows what a diamond is anymore surface was one of those,positive
let's get one thing straight i like much of work unlike his other high kicking seagal and van damme he can actually act this film however does little to enhance his reputation it's not exactly unwatchable but i am not in any hurry to watch it again either in fact if i never saw it again it wouldn't bother me there are just loads of better films out there to waste my on it's a pity because with a bit of imagination and and some subtle changes this could have been a worthwhile film instead the director has chosen to almost try and his audience into with too much over the top violence and very little characterisation br br the biggest problem i have is with co star it me that the producers of this film went to all the bother of hiring a stunning beautiful for my money anyway and talented actress like miss and then give her such a pathetic one dimensional character to play with if she was hired to simply add a bit of to the movie she doesn't even do that very well there's no nudity in the film and also no sex scene worth mentioning strange really given the amount of violence in this film it me why the producers have taken such a conservative attitude to sex and nudity are we living in 2007 or in 1957 what the producers of this rubbish and probably the actors as well have forgotten is that films are meant to be fantasies like most of the inhabitants of this planet my real life is very boring i would love to be chasing terrorists be able to handle myself like mr snipes and hook up with a beautiful young thing like miss this film none of those fantasies very well which is precisely why i am giving it such a bad review,negative
tell you what that was excellent dylan is simply the funniest actor on screen and on stage and with micheal caine as your partner ain't to bad either both are great to watch in a really funny film true not all the gags come off but its worth sticking around for the ones that do but come on its got micheal caine in a dress in it the whole admission worth that and every time dylan on screen its more like bernard blacks movie the story is two actors and caine who decide to steal money from a group of gangsters by acting out different to fool them all but getting away with it's a different matter basically the actors is a great british comedy that was somehow missed by many seriously if your a fan or want to see micheal caine in a dress definitely see this,positive
many of us who went through high school probably made it through alright without having to take a physics course i know i didn't but after watching this program i surely wish i had br br this documentary is a guide to the grail of the quest to all the fundamental forces of the universe into one that einstein during the last years of his life brian green a professor at columbia university introduces us to this mind blowing theory in a wonderfully simple way and leaves us with an even greater appreciation for the universe we live in br br we start with the possibility of a that could and explain everything everything in this universe including the four fundamental forces that we know that exist the strong nuclear force the weak nuclear force and gravity green takes us on a tour of how our understanding of the universe came into view with the work of then einstein and then later on to the revolution of the physics at the quantum level br br but it is at this point that we run into a problem that has plagued for years and one that no one has been able to solve just yet how can we all these forces that we know together we find as green constantly points out throughout the problem that the answer to this problem could be in the theory of strings however if we are to describe the universe in terms of string theory there is a very big price to pay br br it turns out that out of the mind numbing of string theory that as a consequence we find that we could possibly be living in a universe filled with not just 3 that you and i see every day plus 1 for time but rather that we may actually live in a universe of 11 but the that out of that theory doesn't stop there the possibility exists that there may actually be parallel some of them right next to you and me could we possibly take such a theory that leads to such consequences seriously as green points out we have yet to fully find out but we do know that the that has from these are already showing us that the universe still has much to show us br br for those of you who fear that you won't be able to understand the concepts in this program fear not professor green does a wonderful job of doing away with the and harder concepts of physics and instead focuses more on the concept which when you take away all the from it transforms from a monstrous beast into an incredibly simple and as green constantly points out concept viewers of this program need no prior background in science the concepts are so simple even a child could understand them br br when you finish this program you will truly come to understand what a wonderful and mysterious universe it is that we live in,positive
plants in an ancient structure killing all who come close yes it is weird as the do not figure it out until everything starts doing crazy and in a movie like this i just wished it went absurd and had bands being attacked by plants wielding br br anyway a group of people from america vacation and go into the mountains with a couple of other newly made german friends who know about the place when they get there began shouting at them and hide on the structure and when there thats when the plants decide to take them out cell phone noises humans and ancient dead people br br nothing was really scary about the movie and was not even entertaining not even the weird ending could save this piece of crap i kept looking for something really good to happen but nothing oh well f,negative
this movie was good it was hilarious there are so many jokes that you can just watch the movie over and over and not get tired of it john and tim blake nelson were awesome as pete and i love those guys i love the adventures they went on too i definitely recommend this movie br br also the music in this movie is terrific i love singing along with all of the songs,positive
i found this movie to be quite enjoyable and fairly entertaining good characters good actors and enough suspense to keep your interest throughout the plot twists might have been a bit much but overall a decent thriller if you liked this film i would recommend the spanish prisoner the house of games and no way out,positive
shame on fox for this movie it was a total riot and i only hope that it will find a second life on dvd and cable br br this is a hilarious satire it takes the what if situation to an extreme and it doesn't pull any punches or kicks to the it makes you think what is to become of this empire once we've gotten totally to lazy and stupid everyone gets hit in this one a number of major and even fox news takes a punch which is probably why the movie never had a proper release other than the marketing department over thinking the campaign and not knowing how to market it so we'll just give up some may find the movie due to the kicking and but the movie is much more than that you either get what mike judge is saying or you don't most of the negative reviews i've read seem to come from people who just don't get it or are film br br it'll probably play for one week in the selected so if you miss it keep an eye out for the dvd it'll be worth the rental and i will eventually have it in my collection br br good job mike judge it's a shame that you got screwed but you made me laugh out loud and i look forward to the next movie you do,positive
i won't spoil it for you although you probably could care less if it was spoiled you'll know what i mean after you watch it poor story b rated movie quality typical horror stupid situations rare timing i should of known when they try to push a lot of hype in their advertising or even add quotes just tells me that the movie bombed big time and they are trying to pull in everyone just so they can break even with to cost of making this bomb i wish i could take back the time i spent watching this i was stupid and thought that there just had to be something great around the corner but i kept getting let down i don't usually waste my time adding comments to any movie in fact this is my second post i just felt maybe i could spare a few of you from wasting money on something that had a bunch of hype on it,negative
talk about false advertising i wasted an hour and twenty five minutes watching this piece of crap and there was not one suit not one platform shoe no finger dancing and not a single disco ball i watched it on a saturday night and ended up with an awful fever but it had nothing to do with the music br br seriously with or without john travolta this movie sucked br br from the opening scene you will be asking yourself the question where did that rope come from and will it please hang me too from its bias against the driving abilities of the dutch to the shameless promotion of the apparently of to the cheap horror effects lifted directly from japanese cinema this is the worst film to hit theaters since the grudge,negative
films to the film noir genre usually contain similar elements a ex plot twist that drives the main character into a pretty but psychotic girl a handsome but psychotic thug lots of money lots of brutality and usually a denouement in the desert think high or white heat br br there is plenty of hard boiled bad film noir out there but when film noir is good you can't take your eyes off the train wreck of human lives br br it is this latter tradition that blind spot belongs to the film follows danny a troubled teenager superbly played with depth grace emotional integrity and downright by james franco who throws himself completely into this role who has fallen in love with the rough edged br br from the beginning you know this is going to be bad br br invites danny to his house but the house is empty and for sale and a bloody check for thousands of dollars is on the floor danny is robbed of his clothing and but uses the check to track down the april other lover when they reach real home they find wayne a thug hunting down for the money he's stolen together the three manage to locate in a dusty run down motel in the desert but that's only the beginning of the tale as plastic drugs gun running a creepy funeral home and a lonely half finished house in the desert bring events to an explosive head in an alley outside a in los angeles br br this film contains some of the best noir cinematography i have seen in years in one scene danny races on foot through the desert to the half finished house in the desert where he believes may have been taken that evening by a very long shot with sharp lighting effects shows danny arms and legs fear on his face visible even at this distance dust cloud behind him as the wind in his direction racing across the desert toward the house the loneliness the desperation the despair danny feels is shocking depicted there are many such scenes in this film wonderfully crafted by the experienced this is oscar winning material br br the editing too is just astounding the film contains little moments where the characters gain insight into themselves or their situation bits of time where memory and feeling come back at these times quick montages of images flash across the screen this is superb editing by director writer editor in one early montage danny describes the wondrous feelings he has now that has entered his life quick images of diary flash across the screen the words 4 life lucky and safe stop while page upon page of words the of a human heart race across the screen out of focus too quick to read it's like the of emotion danny himself feels br br the of images reveals something else about this film just how beautiful production design is home is the perfect match of high tech and a tribute to the of set foster the stunning desert house scene is just outright creepy the ruined motel where hides out can be found in any abandoned small town in america the creepy and lit funeral home where the plot takes a horrific turn mixes with the of death hanging over the entire film it's too bad the film's lighting director is not credited this film has a superb production design one that enhances every single frame and every actor's performance br br that's the fourth element of this film which makes it grab you and hold on to you the acting james franco is a superb actor even in spider man where he was given practically nothing to do franco showed that he understands human emotion like no other actor of his generation he's no pretty boy on his good looks like brad pitt franco portrays deep emotion with full force his performances contain pure human heart consider the scene in the phone booth outside the funeral home where danny after telling april and wayne that is dead lesser actors couldn't carry off the complete emotional breakdown of a human being franco does br br shawn in her first film simply blows you away with her performance as the april deeply in love with suffering from massive depression after having to bury alone her unborn child after the in a box in the woods her life of luxury and perfection now a april is one of the best drawn characters on film that i have ever seen while relationship to is slowly out during the film nervous breakdown is revealed only to the audience neither danny nor wayne seem particularly interested in her as a human being despair when she realizes danny has also been lover is poignant and potent even if it is by the character's complete inability to feel any emotion for very long now brings to april a pathos that puts your heart through the br br mark patrick is given the hardest job in the film having to make something human and real out of the thug wayne at first wayne is simply one of any number of violent foul mouthed obsessed drug gun that appears in any number of films from cop to beverly hills cop 2 does very well with what he's given but he doesn't quite get to where you feel much for wayne it's difficult to say whether this is problem or the there is one moment where wayne who is brother although neither danny nor april know this reads diary and realizes the sexual and emotional link between the two men where you just know that wayne is going to go on ass but the explosion never comes thank god trite plots are death to film noir once the revelation about the siblings comes at the film's end the audience is fairly to realize the depth of love and compassion wayne truly felt for so deep that wayne accepted homosexual love for his brother but this all happens off screen is never given a chance to act out wayne's feelings it must have been very frustrating for the performer br br the story is rather inventive although the device seen at the end of the film is likely to remind viewers of are forever yes james bond a traditional narrative voice over which proves franco is as great a voice talent as he is a physical actor provides terrific atmosphere although it does tend to flow over into a few times toward the end of the film providing some unintentional laughter terrific locales play key visual roles in the film kudos to the location for finding such astounding buildings the end of the film struck me as a bit rushed not pat but a little too firm for my film noir tastes br br now i've seen audiences either hate or love blind spot modern film audiences exposed to the most extreme brutality and violence often have little appreciation for the subtleties of film noir my suggestion is to take a small group of friends who don't see despair emotional collapse desperation or depression as laughable take them to a small theater where they can glory in the spectacle of the film's vision but where their viewing won't be ruined by a crowd of people who won't recognize good film noir get them some popcorn trust me they'll be so they won't finish it get them a and let them be overwhelmed go some place bright and afterward to wash the and out of your soul because this film is so good at making you feel you'll need that,positive
two teenagers in the north east of england are desperate to raise money and buy season tickets for their favourite football team they go through a series of comic but come up smiling in the end br br the trailer for this film sells it as a comedy and includes most of its light hearted moments however the tone is increasingly grim and the end result is a depressing story with familiar stereotypes the two heroes have no problems with lying cheating and stealing their are a teacher a villain of a father a psychotic and a well meaning but incompetent social worker the other female characters are a drug addicted teenager a pregnant and a wife who seems to be smoking herself to death there are no likable characters and the audience can only feel either pity or contempt local actors tim and kevin both play against type as baddies but the writing and direction of their characters are so one dimensional that they have no more than novelty value br br chris and greg give good performances in the two young leads however they are miscast because they have the wrong accent to anyone from the north east it is obvious that they both come from the area and yet we are expected to believe they are natives of as a myself i can assure you that the accents are by no means the same take the phrase let the poor speak we say let the while they say with two distinctly different sounds this creates a ridiculous double irony in a scene in football ground where the two are trying to disguise the accents they don't have and pretend that they come from which they clearly do in a gentle comedy this kind of criticism might be seen as picking however the film's bleak tone makes it clear that writer director mark herman is aiming for gritty realism that means near enough is actually way off br br i had hoped for humour and optimism from this film and instead found tired old clichés is not a grey populated solely by losers and in telling us it is herman should have known he would cause it's interesting to compare the film with the same director's little voice also largely downbeat and populated by one dimensional characters little voice at least has a talented heroine and doesn't in misery to the same extent i've heard alongside this year's billy elliot but that film is a vastly more enjoyable and life experience br br incidentally i may be just too old but having lived on for years i have never heard anyone outside this film use the expression purely,negative
this film has to rank down there with ed wood films a terrible script and bad bad acting br br a machine gun fight in front of plate glass windows minutes go by before anyone is hit and nobody has cover not one window ever breaks you'd think after a fire fight like that the big u truck might be not a scratch br br do cia agents and government shout top secret information at a stand up cocktail party with hundreds of people around br br there isn't one actor you care about everyone is shallow and basically unlikable br br a hawaii bound flies out of los angeles and crashes twenty minutes later in the pacific in 100 feet of water a short time passes when the to the five other passengers they only have two hours of air left on a br br the next day the rescue teams show up and amazingly the six passengers are still alive br br a movie that starts out mediocre and goes from bad to worse br br,negative
director lo was known to read the racing papers and take on the set tells us something about his approach to film making huh the reviews i've read fall into two categories 1 this is a film so bad it is funny or 2 this is a film so bad it is boring br br so let's get to the point we all agree on this film is really bad br br i vote for category 2 the story is almost complex and it is further and twisted by the remarkably poor camera work and editing yet lo was so in love with it that he slows the pacing so we can all have a long look at it whether we want to or not br br maybe lo was upset the day or two this film was made he just wanted to make everybody suffer cast crew and audiences alike br br spare yourself the agony,negative
if rich people are different from us because they have more money then film makers are different from us because they think the world cares about their every thought br br this self indulgent piece of tripe seems to have been made just because the director felt it was time to make another movie and someone would it not every trivial idea or reflection is worthy of a movie unless you are a college film student trying to complete a course when you don't have anything to say sometimes it is best to remain quiet br br the visuals are not breath taking they are quite ordinary the dialog is inane and unbelievable they speak words no one would every sequence together in situations that are beyond imagination f k is finally brought to the screen even if you believe in love at first sight no one falls into bed as easily as these characters they screw before they talk even more unbelievable is an aging director finding instant sex with the most beautiful chick in town though gravity is already getting to miss at a youthful age,negative
certainly expected more after seeing the cast list but wow br br i think a first time director could have done a better job with this project and the fact that a veteran like john made it me to no end somehow the budget allowed them to secure a of d list actors whom they succeeded in embarrassing for an hour and a half the unknown actors were just plain awful less steve who does a decent job as the story is so bad that it really needs no mention the overall production value seems standard with some above average camera work if you can make it through the god awful mo scenes and the painful person on fire sequences i knew it would be dumb i just had no idea how dumb and unfortunately it's time spent that can never be returned to me i suppose if you enjoy really bad b films this might work for you but if you value any story at all this one is simply dreadful a complete waste of time,negative
two soldiers is an excellent example of fine film making the director and producer took a heart warming story and brought it to life with a very skilled and dedicated cast excellent cinematography and very creative artistry br br the relaxed back woods lifestyle of the brothers was depicted with great details and with the lifestyle that they were thrust into the interaction between the brothers brought laughter and tears as they with a hard but peaceful life in the back woods of north and an even harder life of war br br the acting was great particularly from the younger brother who is new to the big screen played by jonathan to the older brother played by ben allison and the powerful performance by the colonel played by ron the performance was extremely well cast br br it was a pleasure to enjoy the magic of two soldiers and i recommend it to audiences of all ages,positive
ali g earned his fame on the small screen though the big screen has not lost him any kudos either ali g is a hilarious laugh a second fun fest just like on the small screen he has lost none of his character or stupidity at all and behind all that none of the film is brainless fluff either a human side to ali is revealed during the film the idea of ali g running for is a brilliant fresh and funny one and the stupidity of gangster man is mixed well with the stern harsh world that is politics the film is also full of brilliant new characters and instead of just interview after interview we get a proper comedy film that never gets repetitive or boring so why didn't i give it ten stars well the ending was funny but also and failed none of it made sense and in parts the film became offensive in trying to be funny but that's ali g for you if it isn't offensive it isn't itself and it is totally and utterly ruined ali big screen debut was a success in my belief and should have got into the 6 7 average rating range on imdb but it could have got worse as well and people are bound to have mixed opinions especially on a film such as this br br on the whole ali g is hilarious british comedy at its best and funniest and most clever a great job 9 10,positive
this is the only christopher guest movie that rivals spinal tap and princess bride for sheer entertainment value but somehow never gets near the recognition the plot the contestants dogs and their owners as they venture into the world of dog ok it's about a dog show the owners truly are characters as one would have to be to be so attached to their dogs that's really all there is to it but that makes it funny enough br br you'd never be able to convince me that a mock u about dog shows would be funny prior to catching the hilarious scene where levy and o'hara visit larry house on tv but that's really all it takes to any spinal tap was non stop hilarity joke after joke whereas best in show was had a few more and by that i mean say 3 minute at most where something funny doesn't happen but the big laughs are even bigger br br the casting in this one is great and even the typically out of place in uh movies in general parker posey does a fine job in fact her directed at ed jr and a pet store owner over a lost dog toy is probably the funniest running gag of the film br br what's amazing about this movie to me is how the writers somehow managed to a plot simple as it was around these great jokes so that it actually felt like it had direction i guess there's a freedom in having such a minimal plot everyone's role is pretty well crafted here and the characters are rarely over the top the realism of how pathetic they seem to the is what makes it funnier than mighty wind or the uneven i actually encounter like this now and then if you like stuff at all you should definitely own this one,positive
as a fan of the old doctor who and after the mediocre fox movie i was dubious of this new series of doctor who i gave it a chance though and am so glad i did br br yes some episodes aren't as brilliant as others but they are all enjoyable and yes doctor is far from any we've had before but doctor is just about the best there is his performance is at times comical at others dramatic sometimes completely crazy but always fantastic br br this and as rose make this series a cut above the rest is also fantastic as mum and there is a depth to this series not present previously this series is incredibly powerful especially considering its sci fi i mean who'd have thought you could ever have felt sorry or even cried for a prior to this how many times in this history have we had moments like those with dad the doctor and the were fantastic so was final speech i advise anyone whether a fan of doctor who or even tv drama to buy this set on dvd it truly is fantastic br br now only 4 episodes through the latest series and looking forward to the new i have to say that david doctor is just not as good of course you may disagree but i don't think his doctor is capable of those emotional moments seen in the previous series i also have to say that in my opinion so far this series has not been as good as the last however the return of sarah jane was a fantastic episode a true gem not to say this series is not good just not quite as good br br so whether you like it or not and whether you prefer or the doctor is back and he's here to stay fantastic almost as many fantastic 's as the doctor,positive
although this was a low budget film and clearly last minute it holds a certain charm that is difficult to i tend to believe it is the scriptwriter grant morris see dead dog who despite the plot line a fantastic slice of humour sorely missing in many of today's box office hits definitely a must see for a sunday afternoon speaking as a true single girl and very this film did not inspire me particularly but did a small flame of hope for a not my so much as my slightly crazy who lets her sleep in her bed with her she may find someone,positive
hitchcock's original classic tremendously not only from the performance of but also the of anthony he projected a kind of clean cut innocence a young teen idol type of persona he was not an actor who had portrayed baddies before this nor was he physically suited to the role of what the public might have imagined a psychopath to look like especially in the 50's when this ultra chilling aspect of mental illness split personality was relatively in film which is exactly why the casting of him as norman bates was a slice of true genius audiences were taken by surprise to put it mildly br br that's why this re make does not work even a little bit in spite of trying to be an exact copy whereas anthony looked like someone you would never think of as being a serial killer vince vaughn is easily imaginable as one he lacks the look of and his acting chops are clearly inferior as well at least in this role honestly has there ever been an actor who could convey as genuinely as anthony while it was a pointless re make to begin with the of the story's most important character sucks this film down completely br br as a side note i feel that hollywood's for re making great movies because people refuse to watch anything that's not filmed in color not only stinks to high heaven of corporate greed but is exceptionally to the original work as for viewers who can't watch black and white it's their loss hopefully they'll mature sometime in the future and no longer require shiny colours to hold their attention when they do they'll discover that sometimes black and white works far better with the background muted the story and performances are that much more front and center and in many cases the mood or atmosphere created through black and white cinematography is just not in colour,negative
john voight plays the title character in this movie based on author pat prince of autobiography a fine teacher film it tells the story of a naive pat a young english teacher whose first assignment is in an school on a rural island the only white man on the island he must battle internal and as he attempts to education and values in children who for generations have been denied such things a solid performance that really makes you think,positive
i am a huge shirley temple fan when i saw this movie it made me appreciate what a talented child shirley actually was ashley rose made possibly the worst on screen shirley imagine an 11 year old playing shirley temple from the age of 5 that in itself is wrong but getting her to voice and her singing is the dancing was good i'll say that as previous users have said there was little dramatic scenes nothing to make the story interesting not even i would have liked to have seen more of the world wide phenomenon that shirley temple created there was too much focus on the wizard of oz when in reality shirley was just considered for dorothy the film portrays it as though it is the end of the world when she does not get the role shirley herself said that she is glad judy garland got to play her for me the star of the show was the lady who played temple otherwise stay away for great shirley temple films watch poor little rich girl and little miss broadway,negative
hard to believe but it is i shouldn't be surprised commercials try to show how unique and funny a show can be yet not only didn't the commercials this new show have the slightest of humor to me i've not spoken with anyone who found the commercials amusing either br br i don't recall ever seeing a pilot so devoid of or humor the characters were for the most part especially which is astonishing she would agree to be in a of a show like this the few moments where the characters were slightly were considerably hackneyed and trite br br rare is the show with no qualities at all and this is not one of them and kim has exactly one redeeming quality and that's blair despite wearing outfits and acting like a pitiful whiny stupid excuse for a young woman who seems like a cross between britney spears paris hilton and kim is still nice to look at br br but if you want to look at go rent you'll at least maintain a of respect for her instead of this character into your brain to associate with her br br all in all and kim is a waste and truly the worst that tv is or ever has been it sets a new low,negative
spoiler alert don't read on unless you're prepared for some spoilers br br i think this film had a lot beneath its shell besides the apparent connections with and park other films an incestuous relation in this one really disturbed me and also the subtle erotic theme that hung around all the physical action br br the main actor ho song is terrific in the of the priest sang sang means blood in some languages who truly loved played by ok bin kim their relationship reminds me a lot of that between martin sheen and sissy in where the girl appears and the man is basically wrapped around her finger br br their relationship is one thing but the girl's mother is entirely different while moving she is stiff one dimensional and taut but she says all through not moving or through the of an eye br br park has really really his cinematography in this film and owes a lot to stanley kubrick there are a whole lot of beautiful shots throughout the film some for simple effects and some that require several and probably repeated views to fully catch br br the music is quite stock using mostly strings to the main it's a very good thing that the character is as as he is while he does very little and loses at that he seems to instead be a person who thinks a lot while his love interest says and does a lot her actions display very little thought behind it in my humble opinion br br all in all a very disturbing film that is not made for action which isn't even in the same dimension as most things that are about vampires these days it's magnificent and at the same time,positive
my mother forced me to watch this movie with her she apparently will watch anything with a vampire in it i was bored throughout br br at different points underworld rise of the is reminiscent of battle for the planet of the apes the passion of the christ and what it reminds me most of are those italian sword and pictures of the sixties not the good ones that spend an amount of time showing greek or roman in talking and plotting while you wait for the muscle man hero and his lover usually the daughter to do something br br this film was in desperate need of some color and suspense the characters were pretty two dimensional br br the sets looked as if they were constructed entirely of i wonder how many civil war chess sets were down to make this movie br br all those wearing on your arms and black feel free to click no,negative
my god ryan has made a lot of deep characters in his career this is one of his wonderful acting jobs for me this is a very deep movie needs a lot of concentration not because is difficult to watch just because you understand it if you put your shoes in this kid even though has everything and has famous father that is a writer has a deeper mind you don't understand why he kills this poor kid until you really heard what he has to say and you start to think at least to me that a lot of things that he says is true simple kid sweet very gentle in a way normal like any teenage but inside of him suffer because he start to look at the world in a different way then you understand why he did what he did i recommend this movie for those who likes deep drama,positive

first of all let us discuss about the story it is a copy of the movie with an added indian flavor to it one guy who is a love guru and another man who is seemingly a sucker when it comes to ladies and how this seemingly sucker becomes a with the help of the love guru forms the story salman khan is the love guru and govinda is the lame guy br br now coming to performance salman khan overacts throughout the movie he tries to be funny but fails big time you can see salman shouting throughout the movie no real acting is seen in his performance govinda opposite oh my god she is one heck of a girl a real beauty is in real life a 50 year old dude and is a girl in her early in the movie govinda looks like grandpa of what a pity coming to execution of the movie this movie feels like a b movie and a poor imitation of the movie where looks like a movie with a purpose and depth this movie is shallow and nowhere there is justification or clarity br br just forget this movie for it is nothing but boring typical bollywood fare actually i give 3 10 because this is the lowest i go,negative
you see a movie titled what are you going to think space battles with cool as heck explosions and everyone shooting at each other what do you get with this movie well you do get some space battle goodness but for a great majority of the time it's just stupid people wandering around doing almost nothing no one talks what is this nonsense we get a and a ton of british computers but thats about it the main protagonist must be the worst one i have ever seen as she doesn't even have any dialog and though scenes some of the things happening are just stupid like they use a rocket like to go to space for basic planet side why not just use one of those nifty space ships in any case the music is almost non existent with a few boring dull lifeless but the main thing you will notice is the sound effects the ships use you have got to be kidding me i can also tell that the budget was low because everything looks fake which is not what you would expect from a movie especially what should be a super cool space battle movie i seriously think the budget must have been in the double it is so bad making you laugh more than you should at how plain bad it is i am starting to think that they paid the actors based on how much dialog they had because their is very little here if you can't tell already that is my main here as i probably said that like 3 times already,negative
this is a film about a six year old child from a village in a state in india and his grandfather who come to a city in to treat the child's eyes here the grandfather gets to know that the child has cancer in both eyes and that they have to be removed to save the child's life the movie is all about the main characters' and their feelings and actions until the operation br br the movie is not a typical cliché indian movie so expect to see songs or romance or melodrama this a crafted sensitive movie which to silent expressions rather than over the top dialogs to get the point thru witness the scene where the grandfather is told about the need to remove the child's eyes the acting is superb dialogs heart breaking your heart goes out for the grandfather who has the task of telling the child and his mother about the operation br br the handling of the subject has been excellent the film was made under great by the director who had to knock many doors to gather the six million budget even then the final product seems polished and has decent production values also witness the subtle city village contrast shown by the director by some random shots of the boy's life in the village definitely seems to prefer village life br br the acting by all is excellent as the social worker is competent adding the required touch to her role as the is great showing perfect mannerisms of a doctor as the child is a natural he doesn't seem to be acting everything about him is natural and does not seem forced br br but above all is as the grandfather he is astounding in his role mere words cannot describe his work it is a performance to forever br br is a sincere effort to make good cinema it should not be ignored just for the fact that it shows that if things are kept simple the the results can be really surprising 10 10,positive

i knew little of this movie when i entered the theatre for an advance screening i gathered from the ads that it was a thriller br br what we have is like meets two teens decide to commit a perfect murder a victim is selected at random and then carefully executed so that no of the actual murderers is found then a bunch of false leads are planted that point to an innocent innocent of the murder anyway br br enter sondra as the investigating officer imdb says that she's fbi but i don't remember that i thought that she was a regular cop she's frustrated by the of the killers profile the profile doesn't fit the profile and by the power and influence of the father of one of the boys br br she's also has demons of her own which figure in her to become a cop but this is the only character that is really more than one dimensional all others are pretty flat br br for a thriller there are really no big thrills it's mostly a cat and mouse game like an episode of which she's watching at one point in the film the twist is that there are two involved in the killing just who is the real murderer justin or richard it'll cost you eight bucks to find out,positive
an elite american military team which of course happens to include two good looking women and a guy who can't quite grasp lots of bats some terrorists and a team that acts like the gang that can't shoot straight all thrown together in a plot with mediocre acting this one has nothing much going for it the characters are not compelling even the setting which has great possibilities looks like something out of the middle of rural not an exotic forest in eastern europe br br the bats are certainly looking they can even pick up a man and fly with him for a few feet or chop off an arm you see force surrounded by hundreds of bats with a guys shooting assault and at them and bat to the ground it would be like trying to shoot with a rifle from a distance of 3 feet utterly clueless the dialogue is unrealistic with boy girl jokes and in the middle of tense parts of the mission one of the team is blown up by a mine and the first one on the scene just stares sadly at his body stunned not even bothering to take cover or secure the area in fact after the rest of the group shows up he talks about how the area is laid out like a thanks for the heads up br br if you want a contrast in how a horror movie involving a small military group can be done well on a low budget check out is not the movie you want to see in fact i think i'm going to give it a two instead of a three if i can make it through the second half seems unlikely at this point,negative
think of it as an extreme form of without trial without commenting and taking a side on the us foreign policy the process of extraordinary rendition involves taking persons suspected of terrorist activities to a foreign country an opposite to an if you wish to a place where torture is not a crime but a means to information instead of your with blood of potentially innocent parties you do so on foreign land where such tactics are accepted techniques br br naturally given the of the tactics and attempts at breaking down a person sometimes you would get what you want once you pass the resistance or get nothing or worst of all get a confession just because the mind has been broken to the point that the subject will agree to whatever you say it's an ugly process and what better way to do it when you're the champion human rights giving the nod to use whatever means necessary in the name of protecting more lives in an age where information is key to the battle against terror and doing so in a country where probably the rights record is questionable br br rendition is this year's though in the run up to the new year we do have a number of political thriller to take that crown with rendition first of all followed by the robert redford movie lions for starring tom cruise and meryl streep again though now on the other side of the fence and the kingdom with jamie foxx and jennifer garner though this one would probably turn out to be more action driven directed by hood who did and will be the new spin off rendition is a decent thriller with a top notch cast in a narrative that has been proved quite popular these days the split which provides for some ample perspectives to be presented through an ensemble cast br br el omar a chemical engineer gets en route to going home under the orders of cia top meryl streep at a facility outside the us jake cia douglas freeman oh so on his very first session no doubt being thrust into a position that he didn't sign up for back home a very pregnant reese for answers to her husband's disappearance and sought after an ex flame alan smith's peter assistance since he's working for senator alan arkin throw in j k a terrorist plot investigation and a budding forbidden love story between and you have quite a bit going on in a busy picture br br given a number of casts locations and the likes rendition wasn't confusing at all and it plays out with handling of the material never quick to judge presenting ideas and thoughts from both sides of the every character has their own agenda and the of this agenda enough not to bore nor to confuse you and the best part of it all is how very truly they bow down to self in different forms and ultimately in various lose lose situations unfortunately it kept you guessing as well did he or didn't he and constantly played with your mind as to whether deserved what he's getting it one extremely smart of hand which i didn't see coming until it's too late so there goes the credit though it did to the usual stereotyping of terrorist and without spending much time in depth to explore their motivations br br perhaps it didn't find a need to given so many movies out there already touching base on this issue paradise now day night day night even while it turned out to be rather one dimensional personal tragedy to of bombs to become a suicide i felt rendition did right in not providing any sweet ending that this fight against negative destructive ideology isn't something that can be addressed in a two hour movie and i'm glad it clear such fairy tale br br what we have instead is a well crafted tale that sets its gun sights on the issue of rendition and probably capable enough to spark discussion once the lights come on on which camp you belong to do you support severe pain in yes or no this is the quintessential question of our time yes or no ok i'm already for lions for,positive
this movie looked like it was shot with a video phone it had very little plot and unnecessary nudity the movie never really came together or made much sense and for a movie like this of course there were some unnecessary shots the director was obviously trying to make the movie and different but it just never gave enough information on what was even really going on even in the end i was left with a mixture of anger and confusion confusion from the lack of plot and anger because i wanted my two dollars back from blockbuster and an 1 5 hours of my life back they should have a program for people who accidentally rent this movie,negative
yes i couldn't stop nor could my partner incredibly boring 90 minutes seemed to stretch to at least 3 hours and i'm not even a fan of action films but this just falls asleep on its feet unless you are a 70's neck fan br br some spoilers follow if you were expecting anything to happen don't hold your breath it doesn't br br but seriously it totally fails to convince or involve the watcher it's like a long boring and rather disjointed dream through it able to leave work whenever he wants and with attractive bringing tea and messages constantly obviously not real life and an office with virtually no paper or files just a giant to let you know that the film really is taking 6 months to watch br br never seems to be touched by any real emotion neither does his wife and the children behave like dolls in stark contrast to any real life even chloe despite her strong views never gives the appearance of really feeling anything the only 3 seconds of any real feeling occur between a couple in a and have nothing to do with the plot br br okay so maybe there are some moral but if it's entertainment or even good cinematography you are looking for i think this film is incredibly over rated by most other viewers,negative
i saw this in 1993 on a vhs tape but have been unable to find it at any source since this is a very bleak and look at the last days of the japanese army in the anyone with an interest in the pacific war would do well to view this film and see what conditions the other side fought under from what i can tell this is historically accurate and depicts how easily men can into complete i understand the japanese army was completely cut off from any re supply in the by 1945 so there is no doubt many of the horrific incidents depicted here happened i might not have been able to identify with the film's characters but i appreciate their humanity and struggle to survive if i had to a list of the ten greatest war films this film would be on it see it if you can get it,positive
this is one of the worst movies i have ever seen there is not a shred of historical accuracy in fact reality is just one example morgan on the few ethnic chinese he encountered the acting is over the top the script is a poorly written lie i have never seen worse fake br br hopper arrived in australia and reportedly only would make the film if the script was totally so he could be a hero since the script was ten made up on the fly the may explain how bad it is and how disjointed the movie is br br any movie about ned kelly is a lot better than this film,negative
i can't say i was surprised at this atrocity when i watched it a couple months or weeks ago can't remember i saw it as a two part episode of 101 because that's how they showed it here in canada br br i was incredibly annoyed at the a nerd thing it's just an example of how superficial negative biased and stereotypical the people in the entertainment business is and frankly i'm extremely it wasn't at all funny a nerd is a stereotype and it makes people very offended br br secondly the people in 101 don't have real problems logan has a big house he has a famous dad he has everything and is rich too they never have to deal with the things that today's and teens have to do deal with such as pressure and stereotype problems also the actors are horrific jamie spears doesn't deserve to be in a television show as successful as 101 what is wrong with the world she doesn't have any talent as an actor in fact she's worse than britney the chase and thing was incredibly predictable i mean how could the show go on with and chase dating what other problems could they possibly have except for the fact that chase doesn't get the girl he wants everything is perfect the absolute worse 48 minutes of my television watching life ever 0 10 and that's being generous,negative
a very watchable film and one which was eagerly having seen the trailer a number of times br br the whole thing looks superb from the ludicrous efforts of the upper class to distance themselves from the mediocrity to the lower class just trying to keep their heads above the filth the film captures the spirit of the 18th century brilliantly br br lee miller plays extremely well though the part does not exactly stretch him and robert seems a little wasted on colleague br br the real star of the show was undoubtedly ken who plays mr chance a kind of chief of police with an evil glee that set him out from the rest of the cast br br a great film and anyone that enjoys the colour and style of peter films will love the look of this although the of the plot becomes apparent before the 2 hours are up br br well worth a viewing,positive
that's the worst film i saw since a long time historic accuracy is totally non existent for example james who his depicted as an anti french canadian is shown in london during the summer of natives are like indians of a bad hollywood movie of the 60's they wear clothes and ride horses the had never ride horses the film is taking place in city but footage is set in showing the atlantic ocean br br the original scenario was supposed to include the battle of the of abraham but the producers drop this idea saying that costs for uniforms and participants would be more than 4 millions dollars i think they never heard about re br br all the movie is planned to be a new titanic an impossible love during an historic tragedy the fall of new france there's even a song performed by celine at the end of the movie yes i stayed till the end of the movie but i deeply regret but the worst thing of all is that this movie cost 30 millions dollars i just don't know how they spend all this money br br sorry for my anger but i'm just too irritated,negative
this is pure crap and probably the worst biblical theme film ever absolutely inaccurate i mean they've put and before the great they've described lot as a friend of although he lived after to make things worse later lot became a pirate and attacks during the and what's with the who comes along on a boat which is moved over the water with a and alcohol for a food and water and then is portrayed as alcoholic mockery and continuous one after another and it goes on and on and on film maker and all participants surely themselves the front row in hell with this garbage br br please stay off this crap because you will save yourself nearly three hours of your life,negative
the of second feature is that like the work of a poet he portrays the very soul of humanity and lets it on the screen beyond the scope of most other indie films out there chop shop is wise the very best of the great cinema of the ages we can look back at the works of and and compare work to theirs and yet chop shop is fresh and to modern society we can see the of a master here – a certain sense of beauty style and content all together in a film that reminds us what it means to be alive instead of focusing on the side of nyc we so often see we live and breathe with our young hero in the point – a fascinating quasi sub world of our culture – and yet it's a very very real place trying to stay has to support himself and his older sister watch this film and feel the sense of raw spiritual understanding that leads us toward – all with profound and realism,positive
this is the worst movie i have ever seen and believe me i've a lot of bad movies i love horror but this was just terrible there was not one scene in this film where i felt scared all the actors must have been people that they found at a bus stop 20 minutes prior to shooting i wish that would have given me my 99 cents back the acting was terrible the writing was incredibly bad someone had to screen this movie before it was released and had to know that it was terrible i'd be embarrassed to have my name associated with this monstrosity don't rent this movie if you do don't return it so no other poor souls will ever make the mistake of renting it,negative
i had the pleasure of watching this two down from one of the executive producer at the atlantic film festival which was interesting because he laughed at very different times than the rest of us br br filmed in atlantic canada the movie is about three teen aged girls who in one of their last of their youth a large deal of energy to sleeping with a married 30 year old man despite much br br it's definitely worth a watch but the humour was a completely different than the one i inhabit male 18 25 so i was shaking my head at the character's antics rather than laughing of this the story is strong enough to hold up for itself make it entertaining without so much laughing,positive
i've waited 9 years to watch this film simply because i never saw it advertised on tv eventually i caught it and it was well worth the wait it's much better than your over hyped scream or last summer garbage because it's all at a fairly quick pace with no drawn out through the house to cheesy music scenes only the bad dubbing lets it down a little but don't let that put you off in any way what lies beneath over hyped and crap mute witness low budget not hyped at all and very good,positive
it's painfully obvious that the people who made this movie have never seen such brilliant spoofs as the naked gun and hot shots this movie is terrible and so are the actors they wouldn't know acting even if it hit them in the face as i felt like doing while watching this total pile of rubbish br br the movie is stupid and has no humor in it what so ever i'm sure that i could make a better movie with my friends to me it's amazing that a movie can fail this much not a single clever or funny line no trace of intelligence behind it it's a pathetic movie and i'd like to meet the person who actually likes this movie,negative
america's next top model is a great reality show in every sense it has a great has great guests a great production and some of the best professionals of the world for something they hadn't achieved yet present a true america's next top model of course this is not something easy to do therefore usa and the world already would have 10 top models and fighting between themselves in this cruel world br br but it's obvious that its intention is not to present the america's next top model but yes the america's next pop model the show gets together a bunch of models without any experience with different personalities and big personal professional and financial problems giving them a chance for bringing to life a dream or to make their lives something worthy it's obvious that banks uses all that for her advantage she gives the dream but in exchange for that she audience and more popularity anyway she deserves it because she is intelligent and if i might say that a to this kind of show also is a great and knows how to give based opinions herself of other models and of foreign versions of the next top model franchise in brazil as an example is its and once upon a time top model she doesn't have even 1 10 of professional skills which keeps banks on the top have professional and personal knowledge about what she says and she's a great mentor because she not only but she points the mistake and teaches the right way with wisdom br br the show doesn't suffer from big problems it does and what it promises during the the models chosen to work on the show in fact are not the best unknown models of entire country because banks with the difference and she is right because she and also good part of her audience believes that it's time for the world to change some straight during the she and her team really makes fair where the weakest go away and the promising ones have new chances to prove their but must be fast to do that otherwise they lose it br br other very interesting thing is that also knows to decide who should or shouldn't win even when she's against people's opinion she knows that whoever wins will be famous but has a very few possibilities to truly be a worldwide recognized top model at the same way she knows that some times the second place is more valuable than the first because 1st place wins the title but second doesn't gets the title hardly she makes mistakes when she decides the future of any model during the show br br after 9 the show is getting a little tired with some old ideas it's time for to change some things and lines because it's getting boring and comparing to the we can see that she's getting bored too so she needs to do that if she wants the show to live a little longer br br anyway the show explores the fashion and world but it's also entertaining for those ones that live outside all of that it gives the opportunity for some girls and also the market and also gives great for those ones from the audience who shares the same dream,positive
i happened to catch this movie on late night tv i saw the opening credits and thought this looks good well i was very wrong while not excruciatingly bad it had some funny and tender moments it lacked any sense of br br it started off well enough with kathy having a crisis of sorts when her husband leaves her and her singing idol is murdered but kathy has played these women so well before think fried green tomatoes the problem wasn't kathy it was the clueless screenplay that all over the place it was as if the writers must have been thinking what will we do next the script also felt very contrived br br some others who have posted comments on this movie have wondered why it didn't receive a cinematic release the main reason i think would have been to avoid embarrassment and the critics would have murdered it br br having said all that i thought the small woman who played was fantastic and stole the movie not to mention how beautiful she is,negative
most films are crappy with high production values this one is crappy without high production values which sets it aside from the large pool of horrible movies as bad as this film was i need to give due respect to kathryn who i believe if given the proper script could probably turn in a pretty good performance she plays emily the girlfriend to josh who often refers to her as dude or man in a non tone br br but the thing emily is a semi believable character which means will soon need to be added to the cast to this almost believable character with a guy even more preposterous than josh when we first meet we learn that he is deep because he is a lizard which is proof that he sees the world uniquely then shows the tape to emily and in one of few unbelievable moments she acts impressed by this amateur tape of a lizard wow i believe is how she responds once again with no irony of sarcasm even mildly implied br br from the opening scene you are given warning that the camera work will be crappy we open on a shaky close up of josh as he attempts to win over the viewers by acting goofy oh how care free this main protagonist is that he will act goofy haha this film could almost be a case study in just how bad films can be and for that matter just how far bad films can get in the festival circuit i mean by comparison of most circuit crap this film probably did appear pretty awesome br br i believe gave this film some minor award oh south by why do you encourage them its only cruel but here is where i hand this film a compliment it is the best of the movement mind you all other movies sucked beyond belief and generally included grotesque nudity and bad acting but still its good to be the best of something br br i haven't seen yet but it looks like maybe they have made a few forward the preview at least made it appear tolerable where as even the chair preview couldn't really hide the fact that it was going to suck i've gotten off topic here anyways is most likely not portrayed by a professional actor at all much like josh most likely isn't an actual actor but rather the director or brother of director there's some mixed messages there i think was buddy and they said hey why don't you play this guy named in the movie the fact that is the name of the actor and character probably means the actor and character are the same unless i am mistaken which i am not br br if the off of his face you would probably say he was attractive so anyways emily and josh team up to bring the chair to and dad some stuff happens along the way more bad acting bad supporting actors crappy camera work an attempt at significance this film wouldn't have been bad if it been so shamelessly pursuing profound self importance br br the whole thing is amateurish if you can view this movie without paying for it like if its on tv or for rent at the library then consider looking at it just to see if you like this super cheap style of film making i like what the are doing the whole make a movie with nothing concept but i wish they would make a movie that someone would want to see,negative
it was good to see john denver again though he passed several years ago i found this film to be very heartwarming and a great film to sit by the fire on a cold winters night what christmas is all about the scenes of were magnificent and make one want to move there immediately as i sit here in my own mountain seen in so california i loved the story and the plot i hope all who see this somewhat older film enjoy it as much as my mother and i did merry christmas a great film for all the family too see and tell others about it thanks for the memories we need to have more films like this come out of hollywood,positive
this version of park while being extremely accurate to the novel lacked the compassion i felt for which is crucial and central to this jane austen story this was due to the total lack of acting ability by the actress le she had no appeal and at times appeared to be either lost in space or out of her depth the scene she has with her uncle where she breaks down in was hysterical she badly that crucial scene and i actually felt sorry that henry crawford ever cared for her br br the polar opposite is the portrayal of mary crawford by jackie smith wood what a wonderful actress in a very difficult part to make that character witty and self centered selfish yet vulnerable to love br br i have always loved she is mild mannered but with an sense of what is right and who she thinks is worthy of respect and admiration the in this adaptation is too meek and with hardly a thought of her own until near the end of the series as much as i wanted to like this i just could not br br i suggest skipping this version of park for the real thing the novel will not disappoint you will love her,negative
here in australia nights in is being promoted in the same class as the quite frankly what a lot of br br this film is a like a recipe on paper we have all the right ingredients richard gere normally perfect in this genre diane lane an old favourite from under sun and ocean side location and yet the movie sucks at the session we went to yesterday afternoon a women next to my wife fell asleep and half way through the movie got up and left the main problem is there is no build up or credibility to the relationship in the first place and perhaps there are too many long faces and downbeat if you like that gere and characters bring to the movie there's hours of those balanced out with perhaps 5 minutes of what we can to see romance there's no warmth from character lane looks dreadful at the start of the movie and all washed out so as the viewer we cannot really connect to the characters br br others here say the book is great well be it the screenplay direction or production someone here has made a real mess of this movie it's like the scenes and the are a deck of cards except instead of being in the correct order they've just been thrown together all over the place br br very disappointing save your money for when it hits the video and even then wait for a good deal when it goes to the weekly rate,negative

well i expected for all the hype and oscar nominations an epic civil war drama something with the of the english patient given the same director this film isn't of epic stature but it turns out i was it wasn't it's a love story in the midst of the horrors of war where young men are sent off to fight are and killed and the women and children at home are left to for themselves while the men are gone br br anyway i thought nicole kidman and were pretty decent and not knowing much about jude law he was all right also it seems z had the more fun part of the 3 leads and was able to play a spirited woman with much also for me it was good to see actress kathy baker someone's who's talent needs to be more recognized acknowledged br br this film is worth seeing this i'm can't why really but maybe because it is a slice of br br,positive

at the first glance of this film the camera angles immediately make you think that this is a low budget film that will bore you to tears or make you press the stop button surprisingly the storyline comes forward and is played through the screen in a way that i feel most would relate to i scored this movie at 7 but like most would felt it should be a 10 you will understand as you watch it because its a rare thing for a film to be in touch with a persons feelings and how life should be shown by a tv set most films try to leave you in awe of their special effects twists and turns etc this film dealt a true hand showed a good film backed by an style storyline that most would feel was a good waste of a couple of hours wish i had put the popcorn maker on after all well done,positive
i rarely watch short films as they only seem to be on late night television and are not enough for me to know which short films are worth while as the room is an extra feature on the dvd it gave me a wonderful opportunity to witness a high quality short with in excellent form br br artistically shot in black and white the room explores a man's obsession with a room he passed by in the early stages of and is expressed in a documentary interview style the dialogue is very poetic typical of a man expressing his feelings for a woman but is also with and occasional in this adds great realism and depth to performance who is perfect as an eccentric man with most of his life behind him br br the piano music that harry hears from the room is constantly in the background and enhances the touching atmosphere of the film and the feelings of sadness expressed by br br proves he is more than just a psychotic hollywood bad guy with this role and perfectly displays his more sensitive side is also effective in the flashback scenes as young harry with a silent role he shows how affected he is by the music and his disappointment when it goes away br br the ending is and leaves you in a mood longer than many feature length films a very good effort,positive

the box is one of the strangest movies i have ever seen to explain my experience let me use this word picture imagine that you have been on sticks and paint for the last month while watching nothing but twilight zone reruns the resulting coma lands you in a hospital where the nurse seems to get a kick out of shooting into your iv the dream that you have while in the coma will be something like this movie br br summary a man shows up at the door of a couple he gives them a box with a button on it press the button they will get a million dollars in cash and a person they don't know will die i'll try not to spoil anything but from there things into a plot so and complex and purely original that it will make you question your sanity but hey most of us have been sane for a while now and change is good br br pros amazing storyline overall good acting not a slow moment once it gets going it asks questions of human morality that are rarely if ever asked in popular culture this movie is deep it has meaning its not summer blockbuster special effects fluff not that there's anything wrong with that this movie had a relatively low budget and it showed in some places but i think it is perhaps that very thing that makes me like it so much br br cons the first twenty minutes before it gets going are really quite slow at the end of the movie you will be so confused that you just have to sit down and think for a good half hour i can guarantee that this movie will not get rave reviews from your peers or most critics it is far too strange and there aren't explosions every three seconds in fact there are no explosions of any kind in this movie besides your brain popping from trying to understand exactly what the heck just happened personally i don't think this is a bad thing but many will br br rating easily a 9 10 i have never had an experience like watching this movie the only reason i can't give it a 10 10 is that it is just too wrapped up in itself there are several large things left unexplained at the end that are still me as i sit here writing this but overall this is the best experience i have had in a movie theater in quite a long time but be warned you will not like this movie if you can't sit back turn on your suspension of disbelief to about 150 and prepare your brain to do some impressive br br visit www com for more reviews,positive
first of all i'd like to say that i really enjoyed this movie however that said i can't say that it was a good movie i went into the theatre with pretty low expectations something i've learned to do i'm glad i did because the plot and development wasn't stellar the jokes were low grade humor but i was in the right mindset to enjoy them br br i wasn't the only one in fact the entire theatre was laughing out loud i didn't hear anyone complain after the movie came to a close i even saw one guy fall out of his chair laughing but again i have to warn you boy is not a top quality film it is a funny albeit low brow movie and if you go with the right mindset you'll really enjoy it oh and don't take kids to it,negative
quentin in my opinion has written and directed only really one good movie and that was the multiple award winning pulp fiction however most of films especially of recent have been real real people still rate him and his stuff today and i really can't see why there are many other directors and writers nowadays producing far better entertainment in all aspects of their movies from this point on i shall not believe the hype that is a tarantino movie br br was too long and worse still you felt it the humor was well minimal and not that humorous the violence was nothing new minus the end scene the dialog was sometimes very very drawn out br br for some they'll love this movie and for others they'll hate it br br and i thought the subject matter of nazis was finally put to bed with the awesome 2004 german movie der,negative
may be spoilers so do not read if you do not want to just like watching the tv news everything is already happened a great over a city bay and cut no more to see suffers a large did anyone see more than the 5 seconds i saw if you want to make a love story make a love story but if you want to use a disaster movie title do please be kind enough to show me the disaster after watching this movie watch or any godzilla film to satisfy the part that was willing to see people screaming and buildings that did not get a chance to do in this movie don t take me wrong i love disaster movies and i love the original and i even like the latest not to much of a story there but a very good and graphic disaster sequence new the point as many times as pearl or the day after tomorrow but at least this two movies do show good disaster sequences and also enough with the expensive fx that did not show anything give me fake buildings if you like as long as you do destroy them properly i know i must sound like a sadistic freak however i did go to see love actually when i felt like going to see a romantic film even makes me cry and this movie t there is also a tv series called made in 1975 i have on dvd and it is much better,negative
himself as writer director actor in his indie production about a big guy wandering around chicago with an eye for every woman he sees the laughs keep coming almost every minute it's a somewhat dramatic and serious story about a man looking for love but done with great comedic writing and acting the supporting roles are also very well done and very funny and really make the movie rich br br rose is hysterical in her role taking you right into the mood of the rest of the film sara silverman is awesome with some of the great bits she does with jeff bonnie hunt is great in her role i only wish there was more of her in the film as i think most will agree it's certainly refreshing to see her in a tight leather outfit br br david was the detached sidekick and voice of reason plays mother who he lives with there were numerous other cameos all of them done very well br br at the jeff mentioned his inability to do more with bonnie due to production issues still it's good to leave you wanting more i think it's that indie thing of keeping some things ambiguous to let the audience do some thinking for themselves to fill in the the title should clue you in to this br br jeff said some of the basic characters were based on his past relationships this explains why they work so well real life people are always unusually colorful and makes great characters he quite a bit from what you might expect having seen your enthusiasm and some of his other work it's one of those break out things where an actor takes some risks to do something they maybe always wanted to do but couldn't br br i think it's noteworthy that second city background and for that matter set the style here of acting being the focus of the story and the directing it's perhaps a new innovative hybrid of meets indie film making,positive
this television show is stereotypical and far fetched in many of its aspects br br first of all the setting all of the characters attend this unbelievable school with painted stylish the campus seems to have no reasonable rules for instance the boys are often seen in the girls' and vice versa but this may be simply because the a silly character that basically the viewer instead of amusing them as i assume her purpose is supposed to be sits around and does nothing i have friends in schools and they laugh at many aspects of the school in this show br br next the characters i was so disappointed to discover that wasn't creative at all with the personalities in this show they all represent on characteristic which is exaggerated to the extreme is supposedly perfect in everything she does looks sports guys judgment creativity etc michael is the jock logan is the arrogant jerk who basically does nothing aside from all the characters as well as us poor viewers nicole is the idiot who knows nothing but somehow maintains straight dana was the tough girl quinn is the unrealistic kid ' whom they consistently make fun of chase is the guy who is afraid of his which really me as the show continues and that new girl lola or something is just another clone of nicole br br the main two characters that me the most are and quinn first of all i just do not understand character she was obviously created to be the character as i said above but she seems to be the most flawed out of all of them in most of the episodes she creates a problem then has to fix it what's frustrating is that we are supposed to love her and think she is amazing when they haven't even created a very realistic character to begin with br br quinn on the other hand bothers me because she is exaggerated to the point at which her character is absolutely insulting the impression i get from nick concerning her character is that and are people to laugh at to criticize to mock in the spring break episode they did a year ago they introduced two more who the characters had to make ' i found this highly offensive and stereotypical what kind of message is nick sending to these kids is it don't do well in school don't get good don't study hard you'll end up being a geek and we will mock your profession in future television series because that is definitely the message i get from these poorly constructed characters and it is an awful message through and through br br all i can do is hope that nick one day realizes that by putting down the intelligent folks in our world they are not doing anyone any good,negative
in 1970 the beauty contest in london and brought the occasion to a halt by the stage with and eggs why because rightly or wrongly they felt the event to be and to women i offer no criticism of their actions its a free world we live in what i want to know is why don't their modern day the studios where shows such as this are made and do likewise br br the is all about four self absorbed women from new york carrie is a slave to fashion who turns into a when a man so much as eyes on her charlotte to find the perfect man they don't exist love so she can use sex to the poor devil lawyer miranda scares men away by nonsense like of touch with my and lastly we have samantha the living of the old ad hold up these characters particularly samantha as a shining example of modern day well if shouting rude words in busy is progress i think the should take a long hard look at themselves and what they're supposed to represent br br had the been the creation of a man it would have been pulled from the for being sexist instead like before it it has supposedly intelligent women into thinking it has acted as a positive force for good there's something very and cold blooded about the show 'the benny hill was sexist too but at least it was funny,negative
cult film maker of his thirteen spaghetti westerns of which i'm only left with what am i doing in the middle of the revolution 1972 to catch is one i only became aware of fairly recently via guide it's an bleak genre gem in the style of the director's own masterpiece the great silence 1968 complete with desolate snowy landscapes br br johnny the french elvis whom i first saw in jean luc detective 1985 is a curious but highly effective choice to play the loner anti hero who like clint eastwood's the man with no name from sergio celebrated dollars trilogy is with a steel plate armor for protection incidentally i had stunning daughter laura at the 2004 film festival but was distracted by the presence of her director claude is another curious addition to the serving pretty much the same function that frank did in the great silence but himself well and is clumsy in the presence of a bathing the latter then plays a greedy of a widow who all and in the pursuit of her goals has the other major female role as a farm girl looked after by and who at one point is into free love by with this is mind it's worth noting that the movie features surprising but welcome of nudity from both and incidentally the addition of a bunch of long haired who also engage in smoking and revolutionary talk is a somewhat half baked attempt at contemporary relevance – but it all eventually adds to the fun besides even the black sports an br br mario too enjoys himself tremendously with the role of a larger than life mexican el – who keeps a youthful constantly by his side an element which may have influenced clint eastwood's 1992 and at one point challenges the captive to a head duel having mentioned this the film also contains one very unusual of – as of an by kicking the cash register of the saloon into his face as always the fake are accompanied by over sound effects equally typically for the genre however the score by emerges a most significant asset actually the ambiguous ending is entirely in keeping with the film's generally somber tone – after at the hands of the locals the hippies who had previously suddenly turn against him when wounded and the town forcing everyone on the street and the manages to lift himself up to meet their challenge they however away at the of facing him and then rides out of town leaving behind br br in conclusion i acquired this via a good quality widescreen print in italian albeit with french credits and the occasional – about one minute of screen time in all – into the french language where apparently the original soundtrack wasn't available,positive
meets iii or maybe it should just be called iv this is my friend all time favorite movie largely because he still has a thing about j v as someone once said this is fine more than fine but as you get older you need to branch out whether you want to or not society demands it br br an f has greatest j v mary ann played by beth miller who looks like a sweet faced alicia from before her clueless days wesley hates other film the horrific teen wolf too made three years later where she plays a southern belle much like martha smith's character in animal house personally i admire range as the two characters could not be more different and she is convincing as both br br anyway mary ann is a from a member of the lucky squad who comes to camp for she's by jenna karen lee kelly the leader of the tough girl squad appropriately named the demons jenna becomes protective of mary ann after her main rival takes an instant dislike to mary ann br br later mary ann gets a crush on tommy hamilton the head tommy is spending his summer wrestling with the dilemma of having to grow up and move on which is a problem as his only skills are teaching and performing elaborate dance routines in the shower for the enjoyment of viewers who get off on that sort of thing daphne is long suffering girlfriend she has a well attitude and an experienced perspective she even with mary ann that tommy will not actually take advantage of young mary ann br br while these four characters are solid and their relationships have a nice charm the supporting cast is almost as weak as the material they have to work with which is a shame because had they brought some actual comic relief to the production it would have been a decent film jennifer plays pam a social climbing and who is carrying on with money hungry owner and there is another couple with a thing for the characters from mad max since nothing is very funny you are left with only a cute semi romance and some great dance routines br br an attempt is made to create some suspense by slowly leading up a final competition but unless this is your first movie experience the outcome is never in doubt and there is a back story about some japanese wants to get money from but it goes nowhere dramatically or br br then again what do i know i'm only a child,negative
i know one is not supposed to comment on other comments but i will say that a lot of the negative reviews seem to come from people who already knew quite a lot about the manhattan project and were annoyed at things that were left out from his book in it appears the original screenwriter bruce robinson is another such i knew very little before watching the film however and found it dwight is absolutely as a truly charismatic presence an inspired piece of casting that makes me wonder why he isn't given better roles and more leading parts john cusack and paul newman are excellent as always one could with various script or direction choices but as it is the film is extremely intense and horrific at times and overall i give it four stars out of five,positive
hello there i would just like to say how much i enjoyed your review and comments about that excellent film in the i believe that the points you made were insightful intelligent and totally valid it's also a shame that this film is hardly ever shown on tv these days and that it isn't available on dvd region 2 i live in england once again many thanks for your review the actor was in another brilliant film man with a which also starred kirk douglas and lauren bacall that was a very and stylish film with some superb music i wish that someone with influence could release the entire back of films like 'i remember and 'the on dvd region 2 we love these movies in great britain i'm not of age i'm still reasonably young and my family and i love classic films films like these were so beautifully made and they bring back wonderful memories anyway many thanks for your comments,positive
i started watching this expecting the worst i was happy to find that the film turned out to be enjoyable slightly confusing in parts like when they all started singing it gave me a chance to see daniel wu in action for the first time he is a better actor than i thought at times he seemed a bit out of place i thought purple storm deserves its hong kong legends release as it is different to most other hk films it is about a mans emotional struggles when confronted with memory loss it may sound corny but when he eventually pieces out what and who he actually is it really makes the film a lot more interesting once you get into the film you will find it keeps you to it as if you miss one bit then a lot of the film make sense for example i missed a bit at the start and i recommend to anyone that watches this that they do not miss any of it so i can say that this film was worth watching and a grateful surprise for me that i enjoyed it,positive
this is a movie about people receiving a love letter nobody knows who sent in and nobody knows who it is for a good cast headed up by kate tom and ellen this however is a completely dopey plot as an example the character one of the leading citizens of a small town in new england takes up with an immature college student who works in her during the summer she chooses him instead of tom the town who is crazy about her if that isn't the epitome of stupidity i don't know what is just an example of how dopey this movie is watching kate is a pleasure but you immediately realize that she has never a day in her life another obviously dopey part of a dopey movie,negative
i guess intended this movie to be the definition of the cool it has the cool approach of the late '60s early '70s same le a bitter and story is also the of and in defining roles br br is a cop who has in his flat three cats and a daily routine is a is a sick failed cop plays an escaped suspect le is of course far above a heist movie uses his techniques detailed depictions of every step of the heist etc yet this particular action drama is far better than his other it's very unlikely them by being so much better the look of le is very peculiar to very br br was sharp and cool brings his craft and makes maybe the finest role of this movie his performance has an unexpected warmth br br on the other hand the characters are barely no more than strictly necessary and are or masks yet the portrayal is inspired economic but suggestive br br another of the movies that prove to be a good a very good actor and the fact that he's not a genius does not imply that he ought to be as a fourth rate actor he's good he can bear the of a and br br only ten before le was doing towards the end of the a boring overlong insipid noir starring himself after only a decade here he is in full form with this quite amazing action drama it's a success br br before seeing le i was not a fan now i guess i rather am one br br le is a an action drama one of the most genres scores,positive
warning spoilers br br lord knows i have seen some bad movies in my time and this one makes me just as angry this is an insult to people who are looking for a bad movie the story involves a who discovers her boyfriend badly acted by otherwise great robert wagner is a murder thief and just an overall face after the takes off he sends guided to destroy the so while the is traveling at the speed of light our hero played with utter stupidity george kennedy opens the window in the then sticks his hand out the window to fire at the missile i'm no rocket scientist but it seems his hand would at least get a wind burn then towards the final climax when the is headed for certain disaster and everyone will die a passenger turns to his and marriage a priest just happens to be sitting in the next row and proceeds to marry them as the planes is crashing i'm not making this up wow the guy who wrote the script must have been for a week,negative
awful star wars knock off with a slightly more comic robert stars as the leader of a group of ice pirates who steal ice because water is the most valuable substance in the universe now how all the poor people stay alive is a mystery he up with mary crosby daughter around 25 and a total a princess looking for her missing father also in the cast are an embarrassed looking huston in some hilarious sci fi get ups and a short ish ron whom i thought was seven feet tall from his other roles and john carradine who looks days from death and hollywood relative term bruce if you ever wanted to see bruce get decapitated here's your film but then again even that's not worth seeing as it doesn't shut him up at all think he might have been a robot but i off a couple of times,negative
ok so it can be done we have here the perfect vampire movie gothic beautiful with all the ingredients a realistic vampire a wonderful story take note i am from and i assure you this movie respects the vampire it's exactly like the tales i heard in my childhood for a it is quite believable you must see it if you are interested by real vampires as they were depicted in medieval chronicles and not how are they done in recent hollywood movies as far as i can guess the hollywood problem is they mix vampires with the which is pretty hilarious for me vampires are never good looking or attractive they can inspire only horror and the called in my country the night is the one beautiful demon which kills his victims by loving them i strongly recommend this for any gothic person out there see also the sequels they are all 4 very good and of course don't miss dark shadows something similar is in with kinski i recommend that one to,positive
it's not really about wine no real targets are those who would and the of local wine production for business purposes to this end he has made an excellent objective film spirited emotional and flawed independent wine producers are with media and europeans the art of wine making against market driven product it's an open show that doesn't lead conclusion br br film is occasionally to watch cameras are neither nor by any means there are also plenty of as well as subtitles to through often too short a time on screen br br however it does michael moore at the game moore can't play anyway the characters speak for and therefore themselves well worth a viewing 7 10,positive
first the premise stinks little boy likes to dress in girls clothes it reminded me of norman bates in psycho or ed wood in ed wood the jokes are lame and old you've seen 'em in a dozen 50's 60's films the whole cast is wasted i bet people signed on just to be in a shirley vehicle please would somebody tell shirley she did her best comedy in two for sister sara see it if there's no reruns of andy griffith on,negative
the reality of the mafia environment is absolutely dog eat dog where a gangster will be killed for showing any sign of weakness because they become a i've got no problem with the human side of being portrayed but too far in the direction of soft comical men the film is enjoyable but is only light entertainment and not a biopic of a man who though exciting was extremely dangerous and br br the all good and the direction very solid the locations and era are very well represented and the themes very interesting did really want to kill,negative
maybe in its day this movie was special but five decades later it seems quaint just another cinematic of the dreadful 1950s stereotypes abound in this story about three female gold who set up shop in a manhattan in an effort to attract wealthy husbands br br i don't mind the shallow theme but the film's premise is lame and the execution is worse it's a romantic comedy but i found little to laugh at the plot point about an extremely bimbo is about the only clever element of the story overall dialogue is flat and so too is the delivery and the script structure is the plot keeps jumping back and forth among the three ladies it's as if the writer couldn't quite blend the ensemble roles the result is a plot that seems choppy br br marilyn monroe was a good choice for her role but lauren bacall was too old for the role she played and betty with her voice and awful was just plain annoying br br color cinematography is conventional but there were lots of shots using rear screen projection to a dated look the visuals are made even worse by costumes that of cheesy 1950's they are just awful viewers must endure a fashion show a plot point that how the film's director was smitten by those trashy glad br br and then there is that orchestra in what is arguably the worst film opening in cinema history the first part of the film has an orchestra playing some dreary sounding tune at first i thought i was watching the introduction to coming but no it's actually part of the film and the orchestra plays on and on and on it has nothing absolutely nothing whatever to do with the story what were they thinking br br i enjoyed marilyn monroe with her voice as she her way through the plot but the film would have been far better if they had dumped the other two ensemble roles dumped that orchestra enhanced the comedy dialogue and those cheesy costumes,negative
i hate to comment on something i didn't finish but if i spare one person what i sat through for almost an hour before turning it off in disgust it will be worth it br br i decided to watch this with an open mind knowing it was on the bottom 100 br br bad idea i usually love crude humor or can at least tolerate it i love so called black comedies i'm not easily offended either br br it started off okay and quickly went downhill i laughed a few times for example when the main character got stuck in the airplane toilet but that was it and didn't compensate for the strong disgust i felt br br i didn't laugh when the dog got sucked into a jet engine i usually can't see the humor in animals dying except in animal house i didn't laugh at much else of the either i turned it off after an incident involving a blind man and a baked that i don't care to repeat the details of only that the wave of still hasn't passed over me br br simply put it was filled and simply not funny with barely any plot this is one of the times when if you don't have something nice to say you should get the word out br br don't say i didn't warn you,negative
what an awful movie full of cliches scenes very bad acting and an script it is hard to believe the same guys that wrote the people vs larry and man on the moon wrote this garbage man this makes my list of top 10 worst movies of all time didn't this guy this director if you can call him that realize that the first problem child was bad enough let alone make a sequel for it amazing that piece of trash films like this can be shown to children let alone be released 1 out of 10 's,negative
i usually much prefer french movies over american ones with explosions and car chases but this movie was very disappointing there is no way to write a spoiler because nothing really happens this french couple has been living in for years and they return to paris for a friend's wedding they to another friend they are having dinner with that they are going to split then nothing much happens they don't seem to know whether they want to separate or not i don't necessarily think that their make for a bad movie it is very human to hesitate before making such a decision for good but this could be treated in an interesting manner giving some flesh to their desires and their relationship but that does not happen one gets out of the theater unsure of why these two got together or want to split the only piece i enjoyed was the conversation with the drunk that was true to life,negative
i'm not gonna lie to say that this movie is confusing is like saying the sun is hot but not really and if you've seen cult director richard kelly's previous films and tales you know that's gotta mean something when i went to see this movie there were about 50 people in the theater before an hour into the film about half of the audience had already walked out by the end there were only 15 people left wondering what in the hell did they just see i for one could only comprehend roughly 40 of what i saw on screen and even then it can only be called interpretation so why did i give this movie a generous seven stars because for one we get some spectacular performances great and returns as a familiar creepy character and most importantly two because it's entirely original and richard kelly undoubtedly one of the directors alive uses his creative vision to tell a story that to be different quite frankly it's the only way only through kelly's unique style could this story be told the way it's intended br br in the end if you're not willing to spend some serious thought into an intelligent movie and even then it may all amount to nothing stay far away from this one but if you want to watch a deep rich complex and thought provoking piece on and the predictability of human nature go see this be prepared for lengthy discussions with your partner however br br note if by chance you've read this review taken my recommendation have actually seen the movie and still believe you've wasted 2 hours of your life i'd be happy to share my views on the whole meaning and plot of the film see that's why i liked it so much it discussion as hard as it is though i'll try it up by a rather depressing quote by character who explains the significance of the simple box to an employee your house is a box which you live in the car that you drove to work is a box on when you return home from work you sit in front of a box with moving images you watch until the mind and soul and the box that is your body when finally you are placed into the ultimate box to rest under the and earth,positive
a crime drama with a good amount of action the unique nyc location shots adds to this tough little film technically well done with good direction and acting needless to say the wild car chase that seems to begin in downtown through the upper west side washington heights across the george washington bridge and into has to be one of the best ever on film all around a fine flick that for me gets better with time 8 out of 10 easy,positive
this was a disgrace to the game i had much expectations but all ended up in a nightmare besides the bad acting the visual effects stunts the plot even the humor used in the movie was an absolute flop the movie is not worth watching at all the funniest part was when the girl comes and kiss jack in order to give him the key to the guess the she got the keys to all the time i hope some good director will make a remake of this fantastic game into a movie someday and i they will some good cash to get the visual effects right and the right as well as the acting right but till then don't waste time by trying to watch this movie because it will surely make you go mad specially if you are a lover,negative
good grief to think i've seen it all danny thomas looks so out of place in this he seems really uncomfortable he can't sing worth a and when he's paired up with peggy lee peggy lee she easily easily him maybe the director saw this and made him do the really bad comedy routines that he sometimes does in the film peggy lee is okay but the whole thing is a good for a laugh maybe,negative
steven intent is to be and his acting in this film is equal to that in many of his others if you ignore the fact that he is supposedly portraying a brilliant scientist the problem i had was with two items of the plot which stretched my suspension of disbelief beyond the breaking point br br first how is it that a carefully variation on a nasty whose must be just as carefully and by a big lab is by drinking tea from a flower growing high in the mountains and that family seem to be about the only people who know anything about this br br second and this one really takes the cake having gathered up enough of the cure to fix a whole town wouldn't you expect the army to land the helicopter and start of flowers to all the homes in this small town no they instead decide to the flowers all over the town and force the sick people to go out and gather them up all over again just plain silly unless under native belief the power in the drug somehow depends on one's having gone out and gathered the flowers br br add in the cardboard nature of the villains and the of the title and you might think my vote on this movie is actually high,negative
this movie starts by showing you a map and then explaining radar and it is quite awhile before you ever see the deadly probably a better movie in the 50's this dated piece is a bit to slow moving and the pay off in the end isn't very good though it has its moments like when the guy from perry mason with an old man and when he says i have the possibilities to one excuse me but when you narrow something down you have a couple or more possibilities not one if you get it down to one you haven't it down but you have in fact figured out what it is the monster is standard 50's sci fi fair better than say the in the beginning of the end acting is sub par and the heroine is the most unattractive in fact in some shots she does look like a guy in drag you see plenty of fighter plane stock footage and other things but you won't see much at all of the deadly,negative
turner proved that she could really dance up a storm in this 1940 about the ultimate sacrifice that her sister joan blondell makes for her br br when both sisters come to new york they follow beau a wonderful george murphy in this film br br as fate would have it the director of the show is impressed with turner but sees nothing ahead for blondell except a job as the cigarette girl not only does blondell miss stardom boyfriend murphy eddie falls for turner as well so as not to hurt her sister turner is ready to marry the producer of the show a wealthy who has 4 times br br the story concludes as best as possible with blondell taking a fast exit back to look for paul ford as a in the film he is hard to recognize due to the date of the film and the fact that he is much thinner the film leaves you with the question of whether ford and blondell could ever get together br br blondell as the devoted sister sacrifices both career and love for her sister this film is sentimental and might have worked better if it had been shot in technicolor br br few realize that george murphy the future senator from california was quite a song and dance man in his day,positive
is my favorite comedy movie of all time both and salman khan have acted brilliantly while acting was far better than salman khan is known as in bollywood and he proves it in every of his film br br the story moves around two young guys khan and salman khan both are from poor families and are a big they want to become rich without bearing any pain so when they hear about daughter of mr who comes to india to find his they both fool their fathers to marry and the journey begins there is also a twist in the movie that makes movie even more funny is in double role and mr and has acted brilliantly as he always does kapoor crime master also adds a great comedy br br this movie is a comedy from first minute till last and it is one of classic comedy movies of bollywood,positive
oh man this series has to be the worst possible anime i've ever seen in a while br br it started out new exciting and fresh and i really liked it then was a good female role model for the show and was funny and hot headed br br then it just kept falling more and more downhill as the series progressed and i'll tell the reasons why warning spoiler alert br br okay they basically destroy relationship with early on by his 50 year old dead girlfriend who's sappy and a total waste of time br br they introduce a named who's supposed to be a sort of religious figure for the show which really me 'cause it was out of place and stupid then they introduce a demon named whose only purpose in life is to try and fail to save her brother br br the big bad of the show while starting out as a really good bad guy lost his touch after a while he got pretty old pretty fast and it bothered me that he was the only baddie in the show who did anything br br the characters all became wooden and and then the ending of this terrible series was a disappointment to any anime fan out there nothing happened never got killed or defeated and never fully fell in love 'cause he was still all in love with his 50 year old dead chick plot holes were left open the animation got worse and worse as the series progressed and nothing changed in the plot i mean they dragged it out to over 150 episodes and nothing changed in the plot at all and they expected me as well as other fans of the show to be satisfied i was disgusted and annoyed as crap i at least had high hopes that be a good ending to the series instead all i got was a dragged out commercial for the manga br br seriously if you wanna see a good anime about swords and stuff like that i strongly recommend that show progresses and goes somewhere plus it has really good animation too br br but stay far away from this bland excuse for anime as best as you can,negative
saying this movie is worse than on your own is a generous understatement the only thing more pathetic than this piece of garbage of a movie is the getting paid by the producers to register a bunch of accounts to post fake br br if watching a poorly acted of a movie about from the kill people in a fashion that completely ignores every law of physics pulling on an person's legs causing them to be ripped from the is your idea of a good movie then knock yourself out br br no based with a would consider in a million that this movie is scary or entertaining,negative
i put in the dvd expecting camp from the creators of society and re animator and was quite surprised to become involved in an suspenseful tale acting was top notch nice to see in a protagonist role after a long string of villains the storyline involving and the few twists fairly surprising i figured i would fast forward through much of it to get to the scenes but instead watched it through only being let down at the very end br br maybe i'm being too but as i stated before i wasn't expecting much more than alien sex of course if you are looking for some hot alien sex you will be let down it was mostly quick cut table nonsense with a blink and you'll miss it glimpse of an interesting alien,positive
i am ashamed to say it but i have to admit the first time i saw this film was only about a year ago after seeing it i immediately rushed out and bought the dvd edition and have watched it many times since br br the film is terrific on many levels it works as your straight monster or action type film as a horror sci fi and also as a very intriguing look into the human psyche the incredible sense of paranoia and fear not only by carpenter's direction which is stunning but also by the incredible acting of the cast in general kurt russell obviously is spectacularly understated in the lead role of and as a direct result he feels like a real person rather than a hollywood all american hero the other cast members all carry off their roles with style and the net result is an intensely believable atmosphere and a truly fantastic film,positive
there are shows and films i've seen and subsequently read reviews of on imdb com that i've with and been happy to accept that there has just been a difference of opinion br br reading positive reviews of this filth merely puts me in mind of a sinister conspiracy involving tv network employees being ordered to the internet positive reviews for they themselves are responsible for br br how else would one explain a review that this show is sure to become a phenomenon a full year after it's become clear its going to be nothing of the sort br br i won't waste words describing this mess but suffice to say if you enjoy wives who their husbands husbands who their sons children who are towards their parents and absolutely no other threads of behaviour or subtext to characters that are basically just unfunny one liner then watch this show br br i on the other hand have some seinfeld dvds to get through br br cancelled cancelled arrested development cancelled the war at home br br no justice,negative
this movie was absolutely one of the worst movies i have ever seen the plot could have been made to work had the movie been written better the acting was some of the worst i have ever seen i was very slow and made me want to leave turn off the movie several times i watched the entire movie in the hopes that the ending would make it worthwhile but it didn't this movie i think should be rated in the negative numbers in my humble opinion,negative
even not being a fan of the star trek movies or universe of shows and books and such i still find some enjoyment in some of the movies featuring the old cast and in the case of first contact even the new cast a bit this one though was kind of sad to watch it seemed to want to be so much but it failed on so many levels to be one of the worst star trek movies the plot is very far fetched seeming to want to combine three or four stories into one ultimate trek adventure but it ends up an unfunny when it tries to be not tense when it wants to be and not action packed like it tries to be mess of inconsistencies the whole movie to take a phrase from spock is illogical the effects are nothing special as i have seen episodes of next generation that are just as good which is to say it is fine for a television show but not a major motion picture the plot is laughable as the gang at first tries to stop brother then joins him on his quest to find god yes you read that correctly the make a tacked on appearance which actually will set up the much better country movie all in all you know it is bad when the best part of the film is kirk bones and spock singing row your boat well spock was not really singing but rather questioning the lyrics,negative
it's a puzzle to me how this turd of a film ever got distribution br br sure it's horror and there's a fair share of nudity but by god the production value is the lowest i've ever seen the equipment used is worse than standard home equipment everything is giving everything an amateurish look bringing your thought to america's worst home or whatever that show was called br br please people is it too much to ask that you actually do an effort when you expect to waste 90 minutes of peoples lives watching this you really should have done some short projects first cause it's obvious you're a bunch of amateurs 1 10,negative
i remember seeing this film in the theater in 1984 when i was 6 years old you do the i absolutely loved it i was tarzan for the 2 weeks after seeing it climbing the furniture jumping around making monkey sounds it started a fascination with tarzan and monkeys but oddly enough a longer lasting love for christopher keep in mind that i saw very shortly after this 1984 was the last time i saw that film until about a month ago it happened to be on cable as i was getting ready for bed at 3 30 am and even though it was late and i was tired and i had to be at work at 9 00 am i stayed up to watch this movie that i loved as a kid br br upon viewing it i realized that it was not that great of a film and even then that that voice was dubbed by someone else ian was of course solid as usual and surprisingly the monkey suits still kind of held up but what was most surprising was how good was as tarzan he was great the depth he managed to capture in so few lines his primal body language and most importantly his ability to bring this character through its extremely large were just amazing br br as i stated earlier i am fan but i'm used to the hunted and in this film he was really quite good and it is a shame that he never got a chance to portray a character with such depth again br br so to make a short story way too long i was a little disappointed that the film was not that good but i was glad to see that was good and i do not regret staying up until 6 to see it,positive
a rich experience is to be gained from watching this film br br this is a seemingly simple story of a gifted who later becomes a teacher of classical chinese poetry he is married with two sons and things at home seem normal he still loves his wife after twenty years of marriage and his sons alternately fill him with pride the elder one and disappointment the younger one br br his passion for the poetry makes him an object of for a senior student in one of his classes the student draws pictures of him during class significantly one of him with a flower coming from his mouth she him more with her intelligence than her sexuality although that too is an element he of course is not to her attention though he tries for a while to keep the line between teacher and student in place br br the reason why he doesn't succeed in the end is complicated firstly there is a real depth to the communication between him and it becomes clear that she genuinely likes him and it's mutual secondly there is a long standing problem in his marriage that is brought to light when an old friend of both his and his wife becomes ill the consequences of the wife's involvement with this friend both past and present are almost too sad to bear br br nothing is treated in this film all the characters have a vivid internal life and an easily discernible history the two leads cheung and anita are outstanding as are as the student and shaun as the elder son on br br recommended without,positive
why does c thomas do these movies cruise one time co star does a huge blockbuster of and follows with this lame effort br br where do i start here production values i'll start with the good stuff the look and feel of some of the scenes in this movie are not too bad to be honest the set ups are okay in spots and the direction not too bad br br script terrible a series of clunky scenes that could have been put in any order you like throughout the movie the amount of times the scene faded to black and a second later in the same room was very poor storyline but so was the cruise takes some blame but an abysmal screenplay kills it off br br special fx okay i don't want to be too harsh here as i imagine the budget was smaller than lunch bill but in the overall context of the film the effects are badly done some shots are quite impressive mainly far off destruction shots of bridges washington liner but in the main the alien machines and themselves are dreadful also the camera quality is fuzzy on some shots and cuts away entirely on others br br acting i'm a fan of but as he has reduced himself to acting in these low budget flicks he has to the over acting bug a long time ago look at his performance in the and compare it to this movie there is no comparison he his facial expressions his arms and legs where did he get that running style and for a final coup de look at the scene where he loses the photo of his family hysterical but after saying all that he is still the best actor on show here busey is embarrassing to look at and peter green is truly dead now baby through his one and only scene i honestly could not understand one word he said i even went so far as trying to the subtitles on that scene but the dvd did not have subtitles this seems to be a real keep it in the family affair too as son the director's wife and the line producer all make it into the film none of them are good br br direction not bad but not good either br br score dismal br br overall a lame duck effort that will do nothing for in his attempt to make it back to the big time he should take a look at rourke and try to figure out how he made in back to the a list but if he keeps doing stuff like this he won't have a career soon enough br br 3 10,negative
a movie i've seen and enjoyed possibly more than any other movie i first saw it as a kid and loved the drama and the great climactic battle as i got older i enjoyed it as much or more than before but now due to all of the that work together to make a true classic the acting is great especially keith as t the cinematography spectacular the script is full of gems and the directing pulls it all together wonderfully it's loosely based on an actual event and it shows rush of europe and a newly america to up the old man' the empire as it in a fashion unlike any other movie i've seen humor drama action love it's got it all and deserves far more acclaim much like 'the great,positive
this picture is a bad and blown up rip off of the michael short film from 1995 while michael idea was original and perfect for a short film setting a sound of plot was poorly adapted from story and not fit for a full length feature film one would expect from a major studio the tragic situation that ruined the sets in was just one bad link in a long rusty film production chain in this case for a studio to release such a product it is a shame especially for warner brothers a studio which broke new effects grounds with shows like 5 in 1993 on television visual effects for television shows cgi in episodic television in the mid nineties were way more sophisticated than what is brought to the screen in this picture in cases like this sad as it may be can the film,negative
terrible psychological thriller that is almost painful to sit through every aspect being awful br br the combined talents of top actors kevin bacon and gary are totally wasted and though they give good performances one wonders why they bothered the script from mark is a complete mess and martin campbell has the narrative jumping all over the place but if you're unable to follow it take it as a there are far too many pointless crazy scenes that just don't make sense jerry music is not much help either br br even if there was potential in the plot director approach has utterly ruined it avoid at all costs br br monday 26 1996 video,negative
okay so this series kind of takes the route of we go again ' week in week out david character helps out his ride who is in a bit of a but what's wrong with that david morse is one of the greatest character actors out there and certainly the coolest and to have him in a series created by david a great writer is heaven br br due to the lack of love for this show by many i can't see it going to a season series but you never know the amount of rubbish that has made it beyond that me let's hope something good can make it past a first series,positive
robin hood men in is worth watching i recently watched it because i've just become a cary fan and this is one of of his lead roles some moments really made me crack up so hard i didn't expect them you know it was so funny even the 2nd time around you'd still fall off your chair the cast is great of course especially robin of himself cary but and the sheriff and little john don't let the name fool you it's big lol and everyone else br br there were some moments of course the film tried to make a comedic scene out of but you don't necessarily laugh at it but ok br br this is the second time cary and patrick stewart appeared in a film together by the way they both worked on lady jane in 1986 and it was fun to see them 7 years later older br br it's definitely worth watching quite hilarious indeed,positive
though not a huge fan i am a three stooges i believe that their best work by far was with curly as the third and their earliest films are generally their best that's because after a while they began their films and the gags started to get stale here in 1934 they were still rather fresh in more ways than one and funny br br here they boys play very roles respected doctors in a hospital the three run amok acting silly hitting each other and the pants off anyone who expects to get better the non stop energy and make this one a must see for fans br br by the way although i liked this film i strongly recommend you try to find a much lesser known short from tiny educational pictures nifty is much like men in black but manages to be funnier and is about the best hospital comedy of the era better even than laurel county hospital,positive
wow this is the kind of movie that makes you wonder who's idea this was and what soup kitchen are they eating at now to say this was bad is an insult to the bad movies we all know and love br br when i saw name in the tv guide i figured it would be a spoof maybe it should have been could have made for a better movie br br look for the scene where they are in an airplane in mid flight with the door open and there is no wind what so ever they could have for a fan at least br br look for several canadian c list actors in the movie this is the kind of movie that the b rate cable stations you never watch except on a rainy sunday,negative
a special unit of four police detectives are justice in their own unique way in 1950s los angeles nick nolte plays max hoover the lead officer and his partners are played by michael madsen and chris penn also starring are griffith jennifer and john among others quite an impressive list of names unfortunately that is the only thing even remotely impressive about this film br br our story begins when young allison pond played by turns up dead in a remote area of town currently under development our band of four detectives is called in and it is immediately obvious that max hoover is going to be taking a very personal interest in this case we will soon find out that allison in addition to knowing hoover quite well was also involved with some rather important military and government types who may have had reason to want her dead but who exactly was involved and why exactly would they want this seemingly harmless woman dead hoover and crew set out to find out sounds like an interesting premise but unfortunately it goes nowhere br br despite the impressive array of names the acting here leaves much to be desired nolte is overacting madsen seems incredibly bored and come off as caricatures penn has hardly anything to do and griffith is dull as can be by far the best performance is in all too fleeting flashback sequences the dialogue throughout the film is forced and wooden the sense of drama you would expect from a mystery of this type is missing altogether nothing dramatic really happens in fact nothing at all seems to happen for the bulk of the picture instead we just along towards a rather ludicrous and incredibly disappointing climax when the mystery is solved you may find yourself saying oh come on now is that all there is but it gets worse as after the mystery is solved we get a completely ridiculous and utterly unbelievable action sequence and even then we are made to suffer further as another awful badly acted completely unnecessary scene is tacked on at the end and then mercifully it is over and not a moment too soon,negative
br br horror movie time japanese style spiral was a total from start to finish a fun at that but at times it was a tad too on rather than the horror the story is difficult to a normal teenage girl starts coming face to face w extremely disturbing events as the small town she lives in seems to come under the control of the are everywhere in the air clouds dirt and everyday objects the take control of people and bad things will happen to them oh another thing people are randomly turning into why who knows or cares people are turning into that's enough for me this wasn't as much scary as just creepy as it doesn't have a lot of suspense or jarring attacks as horror films often do prefers to creep and crawl like a might rather than to a favorite scene a woman lies sleeping in a hospital room when this long thousand creature makes its way into the room and slowly up the bed post across the sheets over the and into her sleeping ear i and my has a handful of scenes really violent but that are sort of humorous as well for example a man is obsessed w he gets into his because he sees a spiral in it when it he commits spiral suicide inside the the last shot we see of him is w his body all rubber like a human flesh spiral w a single eye in the middle of the a bizarre image has a blatant to it which adds to its charm and fun i love horror movies like this it's not about killing a la slasher films it's about a force of evil the taking over you and trying to kill you force you to kill others films like prove that there are many ways to make a horror film and thank goodness for that,positive
this is an ok early 80's horror flick in which a young girl meg is wanting to shed her two shoes image and becomes part of a girl gang called the sisters their for her consists of spending the night in a too bad the is the final place of some psycho russian psychic and he's not quite dead yet seems this guy was found in his apartment with lots of things stuck into the walls from his target practice plus there is a pile of young dead girls found in the closet all proof that can be dangerous so listen up girls the daughter of this man is rather about her father's death and is confronted by a man that said he knew and given a tape to listen too her adam west of batman fame is there to laugh and and not much else but it seems that perhaps daughter may also have some abilities that she doesn't realize anyway having their unfortunate at the the rest of the sisters take off to go get stuff like masks sheets etc to come back and scare the crap out of her but little do they suspect what's going on and they get more than the crap scared out of them for even in death is kind of a busy guy and he's lots of corpses for entertainment and it would also seem that he has a thing for jail bait overall this is acceptable horror nothing too intense but not terrible either the dvd from media also contains another version of the movie that's a rough cut i guess i only watched a little of it so i don't know how different it is from the theatrical release but from what i saw i guess it's a and all presentation 7 out of 10,positive
i just watched this movie on it's night out of curiosity and sheer nostalgia i liked not loved as a kid mostly for robin zany energetic performance this movie made me remember why was the original show great not really but robin certainly was which brings me to this movie br br i was pleasantly surprised expecting nothing more than a paint by numbers retelling of the show which in a way it was but of course the real focus was on robin it was interesting to see journey from struggling street to national t v star and how such a difference affected him and his long suffering wife and my hat is off to star chris as he portrayed mr williams with integrity sensitivity and heart not just a cute impression although it was even dead on on an unrelated note i noticed that struggles were in some ways similar to andy kaufman who was under appreciated by network t v and held back but that's the taxi behind the scenes biopic br br all in all this was a very enjoyable flick in which i felt i got to know a little more of the man behind the the acting was solid by all never melodramatic like i suspected and the story moved along well performances that were particularly good were by those who played marshall and john belushi the scene in which belushi robin was a hoot not a great masterpiece by any means i would have liked to have seen a tad more about pam but definitely watchable especially for those robin williams and fans out there,positive
the hand of death most definitely rates a ten on a scale of one to due in no small part to john masterful direction coupled with superb cinematography some of the tracking shots alone are worth the price of a rental there are moments when this one borders on becoming an art house film both james and sammo hung make for the kind of villains you can't help but love to hate is particularly good as the of the bad it's a role the likes of which i don't think i've ever seen before normally played a hero and in fact with his i didn't even recognize him at first goofy buck teeth only make an already character seem even more flawed that he also happens to be a skilled martial artist makes him even less likable in a villain you love to hate kind of way his choreography of the fight scenes throughout is fantastic jackie chan appears briefly early on and late in the going as a and i believe i actually somewhere along the way as the lead is nothing less than magnificent,positive
a very strange disturbing but intriguing film i don't think i ever needed to see what a human being can do with his butt and i doubt if i'll ever want to see it again that said there is much to be amused by like take on classic walk in the girl can't help it and putting of meat between her legs in a store a gritty feel very much like a russ meyer film generally poor acting with the notable exception of divine,positive
don't believe the hype br br i had to see why all the critics over this movie i have seen it and still don't get it the plot is thin very thin after the movie was over i still did not know the female lead characters name and one of the two male characters did not even have a name in the credits he is credited as the farmer i did not care about the characters so i did not care about the movie br br the scenery and cinematography were brilliant but so is the stuff on national or the discovery channel br br i can not recommend this movie to anyone,negative

when i first saw the previews for this movie on tv i thought that this could be a funny movie i was wrong all though i am not totally against movies that make fun of others some are actually funny such as the first scary movie this was one of many that have been made as of late that are not the humor in this film was anything but funny and was rather dull br br i feel the one of the biggest problems is that they fun at to many movies such as blues friday night lights stick it etc and if you are anything like me you try to pick out each movie instead of paying attention to whats going on in this one even the adult humor in this movie was dry do yourself a favor and save you money and time and rent don't rent this movie,negative
the film deals with universal themes mentioning no specific country as its context it could happen anywhere and has in substance if not form those concerned about 1st issues censorship et al but don't want to be bored with need art such as this to illustrate teach inspire br br is certainly an under appreciated character actor he shines in this film showing off multiple acting talents that you must see i have yet to see him give a bad performance though even in not so great films gives perhaps her best performance and proves that she possesses one of the most striking pair of eyes in hollywood in two words stunning convincing br br the set design perfectly matches the situation in function and mood the sound editing to appropriate effect the total contrast conveyed through the animation sequences is a perfect symbolic device and the welcome and only to the bulk of the story's necessary the script is tight and essential with dramatic yet realistic dialogue i e as it might be and ought to be perhaps the most amazing aspect to with is the fact that 1 this is the director's first time out and 2 he is the writer in one phrase a tour de force with three see it own a copy see it repeatedly to all its secrets and grasp all it genius,positive
if i was still 5 i might find it scary it is i guess a low budget film the acting is not good but could be worse the filming and special effect is awful the story line is thin and not worth to on too much time is used on boring shouting scenes the chases or fight with aliens remind me of kids fighting with scary masks on some gore with blood and body parts would scare a 5 year old kid i guess apparently scare the crap out of some of the persons in the film br br it is far from reaching anything like the film tremors br br this turns out to be an incident and we see alien ships nearby earth it make you wonder if any will make a sequel,negative
i have waited a long time to see this movie finally ran it one night i thought it would be something like from wrong this film doesn't recreate that underworld of dirty smoke filled character filled bars you associate with his stories it also fails to capture that attitude that mickey rourke did so well in the above mentioned film that natural smart ass attitude fans of charles will enjoy seeing scenes from his books on screen but those unfamiliar with his books could get the wrong impression about his works this film looks like just another of the week about a drunk and his relationships if you want to get a better idea about charles world watch,negative
this is a remake of the anime classic from the 80's and this one is even better and are all back as the knight in their hard suits battling the robotic the animation is crisp the characters are well developed and the action rocks is a singer in her regular job so the series features some wonderful songs as well there is a fair amount of violence but most of it is against robots and there is some fan service but nothing too the dvds also have many extras including which really enhance your understanding and enjoyment of the show a must have for any anime fan br br also recommended burst angel iii,positive
bare is another parody of the blair witch project i think there's about two dozen of those things out there it has 5 very attractive women which includes fritz julie smith and julie strain and one guy whose only purpose is to provide comic relief br br okay so i'm thinking cool great looking women having lesbian sex with each other very 10 minutes or so this should be real good br br unfortunately the producers blew it there is nothing in this video that actually qualifies as a sex scene there's a couple of false starts but the majority of the action is just the women posing for the camera i guess once the producers had spent their money on the women and spent more getting them to remove their clothes they didn't have any money left to get them to actually do anything and i guess they also used up all their nudity time too early because towards the end of the video there is a huge amount of pointless dialogue that is obviously being used for no other reason than to pad out the run time you're a liar no you are you go into the cave no you go i think we should go home well i don't this goes on and on and on forever br br there's way better stuff than this,negative

i give it a 2 i a 1 rating for guy ritchie and woody allen films we don't even remember what this movie was about the only thing we recall is one scene where the actors drop to the ground roll to the other side of a or something and then get back up shooting it was like watching 80 year olds with 2 broken legs trying to perform the also when the characters were driving in a truck the engine noise or radio can't recall would entirely when the actors were talking br br and like others we bought it because of the sandra front cover very sad very bad,negative

age of steel follows up the previous episode rise of the which was excellent in some respects lacking in others had some positive elements the most important being excellent portrayal of the doctor indeed his sort of bears to this writer the shadow of tom doctor with his sort of as when off time periods when mickey is holding down the button in the yet brings his own a la doctor as he lets events around him some reviewers and fans whose pieces i've read seem a bit at having such a young actor portray someone who must by now be over a 1000 old but i disagree doctor does indeed bear the weight of the world on his shoulders as he points out in this episode and one can see this in his almost smug characterization as when he finally confronts the in the climax his world weary eyes rolling sort of attitude is refreshing especially after excellent pseudo working class interpretation of the character more the man of action than fresh faced pseudo best moment is perhaps after the end when he is the with his big goofy baker esquire grin as the re starts here we begin to get a feeling for this new doctor a character who is little more than the average person's different personality split up into 13 different people some some more likable than others yet all part of a whole this aside these two episodes were passable but weak the concept of the is much welcomed and they look fantastic but the plot involving a parallel earth where this action takes place doesn't seem to work right true the allegory here of on technology and their need to serve it as the doctor points out is outstanding but this could easily have been placed on contemporary earth or some other weak spots are as others have pointed out the ease with which the doctor and co get out of the tight spots the death ray from the the seemingly endless array of uses of the my wife laughed when they were using it to burn through the rope ladder at the end she has barely watched who so i had to explain that it was used as a plot device to the characters from situations from which there is no other escape used here sadly some of the acting was wanting especially mickey who really needs his due and some of the supporting cast was creepy as he needed to be his voice even sounded esquire the score was horrific though with the volume often out the scene overall i found rise of the more entertaining though the second half was passable the build up to what we knew was inevitable plays out well however the resolution was disappointing too many unlikely escapes no development of the supporting cast and not enough in my opinion this new show is outstanding and davies is taking it in a good direction but the dialogue beyond the doctor's needs to be up as illustrate which were pure ham,positive
be prepared for the trip to la the psychological sickness of the main character wonderfully played by goes beyond any limit you could expect the most stunning part of it is that you start feeling compassion for the character erika trash sexuality no scenes though incestuous relations gives us a crude meal heavy to sometimes the only way you can escape the of some scenes is to start laughing at it the en is maybe not the most appealing part of the movie it has obvious sometimes notes static long scenes but never boring the vienna settings the french language used make the whole look like a european blend the permanent music background is beautifully chosen above all both of the cannes awards for best actors are well deserved one of the greatest performance of the year by one of the greatest french actress ever,positive

john cinematic interpretation of edith ethan falls short of doing justice to a great literary piece while the story is the elements that give the its soul are and all in all lost in the film fails to convey the innocence and overall tragedy of ethan and relationship instead it into a morality tale the mark is missed and the point lost in added details and poor dialog in the book is almost completely the antagonist the books least sympathetic figure where in the movie she can be almost though it's a stretch you kind of feel bad for this sick woman who is being cheated on the book more accurately describes control of the house and of ethan the movie just me off the addition of the fox was pointless as well as the scene with trying to kill herself it was just poorly interpreted and done film mistakes in the church dance scene interactions with denis addition of love scene fox scene store scene saying his plans allowed lack of displays of inner emotions and thoughts introduction of the priest instead of engineer let on to much that knows about the growing relationship where in novel reader never knows what is thinking or aware of just too many flaws and poor directing decisions,negative
this film just doesn't work no two ways about it i saw it for the first time back in when it was released and i didn't like it i just bought it on sale a couple of days ago 'cause i thought hell i'll give it a try i don't regret for the money i put out for hamilton but the fact remained the same this movie is pointless dull and uninteresting br br is usually a delight but that's when he's making films in the us back home he doesn't do the trick sure the movie is well made if you forget the odd stock footage but in the end the only thing that really lifts hamilton above one star garbage is turn as the bad guy he seriously has fun with the character and is also responsible for the only two good moments in the movie swedish intelligence huh now there's a in terms and when he allows hamilton to have a word or two with his wife over the phone towards the end of the flick and that's really pretty much it br br,negative
the 1990s film with anthony hopkins and debra is rightly with praise and i enjoyed it very much but this tv original is just as good and in some ways more appropriately cast claire bloom isn't a joy but she is still confident and throwing her cap at her favourite author played by in one of his best performances br br and less emotional than the attenborough film this may be but it does justice to what is a marvellous play full of meaningful dialogue you'll still cry to this version but perhaps you won't have the musical to set you off br br there's room for both and having seen this on stage i would say that the bloom one is slightly more faithful but they're both excellent,positive
we don't know why this extraordinary film was never made available officially on dvd anthony performance alone makes this a must see there are relatively few films in which an actor so profoundly with his character a phenomenon always unique for us br br but powerful portrayal of an innocent romanian literally dragged out of his house and everyday life by forces he cannot comprehend is only part of what makes this film great the script is based on a book published in paris by a romanian priest who the communist take over of his country and the film succeeds to go deep into a little known area of east european history told as a succession of esquire twists of fate the of told openly and honestly without any of the political correctness currently so precious in hollywood are in fact a for the lost innocence of the romanian people it is ironic that this is signed by a french director working with the american money of an italian producer and a cast by an extraordinary mexican born br br i've seen mentions of of this film in various asian internet stores and i was fortunate to take possession of a digital recording of this film broadcast on the british version of tcm but it's a shame that the hour isn't anywhere on the future dvd release map of mgm studios,positive
i have walked out of a movie before and not quite known how to feel the two best examples of that are the big and was so ridiculously original and so filled with strange humour that i had to like it on the other hand there were some unnecessary with flying people and killer balls that just didn't seem to fit the mold of the film still i liked the film and now own a copy of it made me with sometimes i wasn't sure why i was laughing so hard that it made me cry but nonetheless i was there were many seemingly strange characters in but upon further investigation they were really just real people talking about real situations that is why the man with the or was it a was so side funny when he was telling the police officer about some funny looking man down at the bar the other night and that is also why the theater in laughter when he then says that there are some funny looking clouds coming in i own a copy of this film too the have a way of their film and their characters as being somewhat eccentric and perhaps a little off the wall but if you look closer at some of those same characters that seem zany you will always find that in some strange way they all ring true that is what is quite exceptional about o brother where art this is a film that is out there i mean it is not even in the same as a traditional film i reviewed the film this past summer and in it i said that was an okay film that i have seen a thousand times before but you can not say that about a brother's film and you most certainly can not say that about this one br br this film has everything in it from a jail break crooked southern politicians references to what i can only assume are historical figures bank violence towards animals singing of religious fanatics lynch and so on there are obviously many references to odyssey in here as well but i wouldn't know that because i have never read odyssey or even knew one thing about it every other newspaper reviewer seems to know all about it and they think that this cynicism and almost spoof like quality towards it makes the film that much better well coming from a guy who doesn't know anything about it i can tell you that it is still an entertaining film there were times when again as is usual for a film i wasn't sure why i was entertained or laughing but i was br br this is a road picture where three men travel along the way to find a hidden treasure that clooney says he has hidden to his two other cell mates he has to take them along because they were also to him when they had their chance to escape br br i like all the principal actors in the film and many of them are it was nice to see goodman again it was nice to see hunter and especially who seems to have a place in every film it's too bad they didn't find a place for steve but that is a different story all together but back to clooney the man just has charisma he is a one hell of an actor as well and here he is not quite as zany as the others but even he has his own his work here is quite awesome and i really hope this shows that he is capable of playing any range of character br br now after all this praise on the film let me just say this as well i didn't really enjoy the film at first i found it to be quite tedious and a little boring there were too many ideas in here and not enough care went into them for all what they were worth but then the film began to grow on me it took a while but it did grow on me i don't think this is their best film but it is still a good one and i am giving it a 8 5 but the reason that i do recommend this film is for one reason only br br every day you can go look into the paper and look at the films that are playing and say to yourself seen it seen it oh seen it last year that is the same as this film and that is the same as that film most films have been recycled in some form or another not the films they have not been recycled and if they have i don't know about it that is reason enough to see something that they put out originality counts for a lot in my books the are original and they are good and that is not common in todays cinema enjoy them while they are allowed to make films because you don't get vision like this in many films so when you do enjoy it,positive
one of the best western movies ever made unfortunately it never got the recognition it deserved the storyline the action and the music was in my mind one of the best i give it a double a randolph scott gave a terrific performance along with the other members of the cast the ending was one of the best of any western made,positive
always enjoyed 1950 which starred o'brien and was very curious about this film dennis quaid was a professor who loved his wife and finally found out she was having an affair with one of his students gets involved with meg ryan sydney fuller who was a student in his college class and at the same time had a big crush on him and wound up having a one night stand and in some ways loved him deeply learns that he received a drink which had bad and would cause him a great deal of health problems if you like dennis quaid and love meg ryan you will enjoy viewing this film meg gave an outstanding performance and kept this picture worth watching,positive
they've shown i twice in a very short time now here in sweden and i am so very tired of it the bad acting isn't enough the story itself is so boring and the effects hardly exists i love the original from 1953 so i recommend you to go and rent that one instead because this one is such a bore,negative
i wish i could have given this a zero sure i'll admit that i also picked this up thinking it was the spielberg version a clever marketing releasing it at this time and being displayed at the video store however i was willing to give it a go anyhow i wish i wouldn't have br br where do i start i have read some of the other reviews here and have to say i disagree with anyone who thinks any of the acting was good sorry even c thomas none of the performances were any good not a one br br even if the acting was decent the dialog is terrible and dick just doesn't really cut it br br now as for the story well it was terribly adapted and must have been edited by a 5 year old the main character is constantly running into situations that are way convenient or at least appear that way due to how the film was edited together for example he is trying to get to a place called new hope to find his brother during a brief break someone just randomly hands him the directions to new hope what the hell is that when he gets to new hope he just happens to stumble onto his dying brother then there is the part where he has been traveling away from his destination for days and just happens to come across the car his wife and son were traveling in he was going in a different direction then they were how did that car end up where he was he has a black back pack that randomly appears and disappears throughout the film there are parts of the film where the characters are just waking up in the morning and then two seconds later it is night or worse yet of the next day i also can't forget the main character and the preacher falling through the floor of a house for no reason we don't find out until later that an alien has landed on the house which reminds me of the moment when they are walking and suddenly find themselves standing under an alien they didn't notice what the hell the aliens are like two stories tall with huge bodies and multiple legs how could they miss it there is one point where an alien kills a random citizen supposedly by spitting some kind of junk at him but you never see the stuff fly it just appears on the guys face the special effects in general are terrible the entire movie is like a bad train wreck when we finally get to the end after this guy trying to get to to find his family they just appear no searching no asking questions nothing just oh there you are i am so happy the end br br i am sorry if my review a bit but this movie was so bad i had a hard my contempt please save yourself the time and don't watch this displayed pile of cinematic it is quite possibly the worst film i have ever witnessed i would rather have been getting a root it would have been less painful,negative
i gave this a 10 because it's the best film of its kind a good old fashioned t a film in the shadow and spirit of animal house i saw this with a similar film called meet and both were good of their type a great way to spend a saturday afternoon let's be honest there are more breasts in this movie than one could imagine for an r rated movie from beginning to end they just seem to keep showing up on screen scenes bedroom scenes and of course the climactic football game also a memorable kissing booth kiss me everybody seems to be having a good time in their roles several playboy danny several familiar tv and movie actors etc the only complaint i have to register is that lisa character is called by her last name o'hara and not a good 1970s name like olivia or even or or o i saw this again in the late 1980s with my now ex wife pretty well herself and she couldn't believe i was actually enjoying the movie she was probably jealous again this movie is a great way to spend a saturday afternoon just don't think too hard,positive
this was one of those films i would always come across be it on tv or cheap dvd but never struck me to give it a shot as i thought i wasn't missing out on much it was on one night and i thought oh why not a good decision too as i would kick myself for taking so long to get around to it for me it left me impressed as it's up there with burt best features and and back to those 70s 80s gritty urban crime thrillers that weren't afraid to be obscure and go out of their way to set up characters pack it with realistically brutal force and effectively the local locations being the case here to the with grounded photography in certain shades it kind of reminded me of but that's loosely however it's blues score with its kicks funky shifts and unhinged sounds very much had me thinking of score he for the music soundtrack on the other hand is hit or miss br br sgt tom was an atlantic agent before a slip out during a bust saw him to vice work along with his new squad they come across a prostitution ring which catches their interest due to fact it's owned by one hard to track and to convict crime lord what they dig up involves a prominent government figure and a call girl which can give them some important names but they must get to her before she's made a target br br burt acts but also directs in an firm and muscular fashion which would suit his hard performance and hard bitten and taut screenplay that was adapted from william novel well he does show some sort of heart insightful thoughts amongst that armor within the scenes involving the able british actress rachel ward be it the stake out scenes when he's watching her from another building and slowly becoming by her to when they finally come together but these latter interactions mid way through do slow up the momentum but give it noir like the performances are fairly spot on with a great with exceptional actors charles earl brian keith richard and the profanity and witty dialogues between these guys were a blast as for the corrupt villains builds strength and power but it's henry who seems born for these roles cunning and turn that makes the show where his appearance seems to outline things to come and help them fall into place plus his filled and violent cat and mouse climax with and his team is brilliantly done br br the exciting action might be quick and dry but remain violent like an immensely teeth sequence some handy old fashion filming techniques add to the suspense the intriguing material keeps it quite being character derived but when we think its smooth it offers up a blunt surprise or two along with some intensely,positive
this movie is not realistic at all more of a comedy than a serious war film very old fashioned too maybe i was just expecting it to be on a same level with platoon i wonder why 50 of the voters gave it 10 something must be wrong,negative
this movie was a big disappointment the plot sounded great about a half human half creature in africa that becomes the subject of a documentary by young american adults when many of the crew members are found dead the 2 survivors are taken into questioning i wouldn't even call this a horror movie since most of the movie is actually about the adventures of the aforementioned 20 somethings which include sex and smoking animal dung to get high isn't as entertaining as it sounds trust me you rarely get to see the creature and the main actor who also happens to be the director screen writer editor and producer is incredibly annoying br br i was finally so annoyed by the never ending dialogue that i fast to the end i had guessed the ending in less than 10 minutes into the movie and i was right thus this awful movie is utterly predictable too as if it wasn't bad enough moral of the story avoid movies that are acted directed edited produced and written by the same nobody and avoid this movie unless held at,negative
kate is a jaded young woman who has trouble meeting and dating guys throughout the movie you get to meet several of her loser boyfriends and throughout the movie you are subjected to cynical negative on love and relationships this negative viewpoint is continued throughout and presented as ultimate truth i had a real problem with this why would anyone want to be taught about love life and dating from someone who is obviously so messed up it would work if that was the joke but it is not for the jokes in the movie which are neither funny nor original to work at all you have to believe what kate is saying that all relationships inevitably end up with bad or no sex that the highest level a relationship can to is when you are able to fart in front of your partner you get the idea br br there is no movie in recent memory that comes close to the stomach as much as love sex why did the filmmakers waste their time on such trash every joke in love sex is something that i have experienced in another movie or in my own life there is nothing original or creative about the story the production or the style it is cynical dumb and pointless mind numbing,negative
i found myself watching sex lives of the men with a brow puzzled why so many talented and witty comedians decided to be involved in a film so totally devoid of humour br br poo and jokes are funny when you're eleven plus and you begin to lose friends around the water br br maybe some enjoyment could be had from this movie if you're the kind of person who frequently plays practical jokes involving dog mess brown and matches or maybe in on nights out by vomit etc when you're not back at your basement your teenage wife br br even then sex lives it's hard to recommend perhaps if you're really into surgery and spend your happy the elderly or watching you might think a close up of a is worthy of cinematic distribution br br i'd discuss characterisation narrative or performances had i not completely out following the lengthy comparison,negative
begins with some cool music so i liked it immediately but as the film wore on i began to wonder if the music wasn't the best part we have some thieves pulling a jewel heist and when one does something wrong the alarm is and the cops chase them and when the car turns around at a road block one of the thieves paul whoever he is here gets shot now it seems like he might die but with the help of a drunken doctor and his mad scientist friend and wife he is saved with a part of the brain of some nightclub owner called the the is unfortunate in that the gentlemen that kidnapped him lost their knife to remove is head so to add insult to injury or in this case death they remove his head using a train leaving the body for the authorities to find once the brain transplant is complete naschy wants to any woman that comes near him because he now has the mindset of his well of course this is all pretty improbable and features medical equipment that looks to have been purchased at radio shack and overall it's pretty cheesy and sleazy but it has a good early 70's look and feel to it and the music is cool this isn't so much a horror movie but more a thriller with lots of thugs battling it out over and babes and other thug type things but it's strangely entertaining in ways i can't begin to describe 7 out of 10,positive
the acting of sidney and the brooding on screen presence of john the edge of the city is a highly watchable film from the fifties directed by martin there is great acting and stunning on location photography in black and white br br is a delight at this point in his career and tommy tyler the character he plays is happy and he befriends played by who is a young man suffering from poor self and a past that he wants kept under tyler a black man brings his friend out of his shell and introduces him to his family and a new girlfriend br br tyler and are employed on the new york at a time when the workers were expected to the line if they knew what was good for them the boss charles played by jack warden in one of his many hard bitten roles becomes the focus of which leads to a climactic showdown with br br at the end of the movie we are left with mixed emotions however the two main characters have left the audience with a story of friendship between two different men in a hostile world,positive
this movie was so stupid i couldn't believe what i was seeing as i was watching it it was like a huge train wreck i couldn't look away because it was just so horribly awful i can honestly say i've never seen anything this bad in my whole entire life it was so cheesy and the acting was just so that i just kept thinking this just has to be some kind of a joke right nobody would actually make a movie this crappy on purpose right i really hope this is all just a bad joke and these people don't actually expect people to watch this with a straight face and i really hope the people who were in this movie were doing terrible acting on purpose and don't actually believe that they are good actors the drag queens are pretty funny to watch though and so are the cheesy special effects straight out of a bad 80's sci fi movie br br only watch this if you've already seen every other movie in existence first and there is nothing left to watch at all i would give this a 0 if it were possible,negative
batman returns it is my opinion that the first batman of the batman series was only half the movie that batman returns is in the first batman by tim burton we had only batman and the joker both played wonderfully by michael keaton and jack nicholson br br in batman returns we have what i feel is the most perfectly cast batman movie yes even better then dark knight keaton returns as batman and is perfect in the role never going to far over top with the character of batman which is perfect in this film when it comes to the two villains that he's up against first you have danny who is delightfully insane as the penguin then you have michelle pfeiffer as cat woman who i dare to say is one of the most interesting and complex villains in the batman movies i feel this way about pfeiffer because of the way she becomes the cat woman she starts off as the rather pathetic kyle and then truly into the dark side of her mind and what you get is a brilliant performance of a woman who goes from trying to be a hero to a villain and then i suppose back to a hero in the end also in this amazing cast you have the evil businessman max played by the amazing and legendary christopher walken while in a supporting role there's something about this role that i love and maybe it's the look of in the film that makes his performance all the better then it already is br br story wise i have to say that batman returns has so much more going on this time around as opposed to the first batman part of the reason i loved this story so much is the fact that burton to go in a much more darker and twisted direction as opposed to over the top antics you have the story on the penguin and how he tries to the people of into making him the new hero and mayor of the city then you have cat woman and her struggle to decide just who she really is and what she should do with her new persona when it comes to batman i feel that in this one he's more the ring leader that holds the two stories together but of course kicking ass at the same time br br cinematography was the film is dark and atmospheric just like the story that's taking place within it city never looked as good as it does on ray and so if you have the chance to see it this way then by all means do because it truly adds to the overall experience of batman returns br br so all in i truly feel that of all the batman movies batman returns believe it or not tops the dark knight for me because while i enjoyed that movie for heath amazing performance as the joker i felt that the movie was lacking something batman returns lacks nothing so if you want to see an amazing film with what i feel is a perfect cast then this is the batman to light the bat for,positive
this is supposed to be the story of the life of a man named from age 8 through to told in narrative by the character at each age point in his life so for example when he's eight it's the eight year voice that is doing the narration when he's in junior high it's that one doing the narration etc that's about the only interesting thing about this movie it looks like each actor playing is a separate character not only do they not look alike their life experiences don't seem to match up br br avoid this movie like a bad cold,negative
all in all an excellent movie from that time and source coming from warner brothers as it was in and style just before wwii provided you don't take it at all seriously the movie really makes no claim to being historically accurate and is certainly no more or less accurate or believable than say this one may actually be more honest about it though as it essentially admits along the way that it's not to be taken as particularly fact based but more of a semi heroic portrayal it's worth noting that audiences of the time were no more naive about the story than we are today the ny times review that audiences would dismiss factual inaccuracies throughout the film described the account of life as and pointed out that the presentation of motivations regarding the final events were at odds with various historical accounts they could have really gone overboard in building up one but they succeed admirably in depicting him as not necessarily the or most guy around but appropriately determined and inspirational br br flynn and doing their movie together in 7 years and their last are so comfortable together and play off each other so easily at this point that it's not too difficult to overlook how their is written here with a first time pairing it would be hard to imagine what could really draw elizabeth to but these two make it work the movie is also missing their director from their previous seven films together the greatly underrated michael but given that he had worked with them on the previous year's similar themed santa trail it's understandable if he chose to out of this one they all started together with captain blood and the charge of the light both terrific so we can't really blame them if they started having a tough time keeping it all fresh br br walsh the director here is certainly more comfortable with the action sequences which are outstanding and everything else the interior scenes are a little more uneven but the studio succeed in for that very well as does warner outstanding cast of usual suspects and new faces gene anthony quinn arthur kennedy etc i would have liked it better if character had been a bit less standard i generally like his work but here he seems to be hitting roughly the same notes in every scene the part could have been better written and i suppose they might have been unsure of what he could handle as he'd only been in films for one year walsh probably took him for this after doing high together br br various highlights include the depiction probably imagined of the of as the theme the last half hour is particularly outstanding especially with the of the leads the end of their screen followed by the final battle scenes a thoroughly rousing adventure br br 8 of 10,positive

was one of the few i had yet to discover and i was less than half overwhelmed the french title la i e the fifth a very phrase for underground and set my expectations quite high as did the images of the finale on top of the statue of liberty br br basically is as much light hearted as were the steps note this is another phrase even as a title but it lacks most of the humor so the characters are rather down to earth and it's definitely not as fast paced as a chase movie across the usa from la to ny drags its feet from sequence to sequence the sequence at the lovely ranch lovely ranch lovely villain but pretty tame on the whole it doesn't really add up to nothing the meeting with the blind man the mixing with circus people the city sequence the ny ball sequence they fall flat bringing in more characters with very little added suspense value br br one big problem i can point out is the relationship between the leads robert and lane which is not building up as with robert and madeleine in the steps hence the whole narrative structure is floating depending on the addition of new scenes and new scenes only bring us the end since it's not clear if the hook is the hero's escape from the police from the villains or his action to stop the plotted in the steps it was clearly scripted as 1 escaping from the police so you know the hero can't just go to the police then 2 running for his life and after the villains to prove his innocence br br if you want a better hitchcock from the 40s wartime propaganda i would advise you to chose foreign over they are both chase movies with a catchy finale well really a gripping one and not just in foreign as well as beautifully efficient scenes the crowd the fields the strange mills,negative
i get the impression that i was watching a different movie to the majority of other people i know who have seen this film it's not really that i found the film offensive or anything just that the script was unbelievably amateurish for a film that had obviously had a bit of money thrown at it i really respected paul work on the million dollar baby script and was disappointed to see how bad this script was it was clear to me that it was desperate to be the version of traffic but i don't think traffic was really a film worth ripping off in the first place br br the worst feature of is the way it shamelessly its audience does think we are so dumb as to require a shot of the do need to see the phone book sitting on address in black can we not be left to make in logic for ourselves br br i also had a major problem with the dialogue which was so the i have heard one critic say that the quality of dialogue is high because even though people may not speak this way they certainly do think this way that is irrelevant it is the job of a script like this to dialogue in a way that helps add to the and believability of the in this case highly implausible situations that are set up these characters all speak using the same voice and all they ever talk about is racism br br surely the purpose of a film like this should be to promote the fact that race should not really be an issue in these situations but by making it the sole focus of every scene doesn't it become racist itself characters walk around their and conveniently on race relations as though they're from the research they've just written it's utterly unconvincing and obvious br br a film should reveal its meaning gradually not slap us in the face with it in the opening scenes and then never let up i can see that intentions with this film were honorable but dare i suggest that by directing his own script he has not been able to identify and therefore overcome its flaws i really hope that writer directors will be really careful in future when approaching this style of narrative it has been done well a number of times but getting the balance between the personal and the political right is very difficult and robert altman will not be in that department,negative
a great cast a fantastic cgi monster and a brilliant script if this film had had any of those things then it might not have been amongst the worst films i've ever wasted an hour and a half on with have not yet written the complete works of shakespeare but along the way this has appeared in their waste paper bin and somehow it got made into a movie you can tell the the actors regret those with every word they directly into camera the cgi is amateurish in the extreme and they might have created more tension of the cast had been attacked with the spectrum it was created on i wanted to like this film it has nice cameo appearances by gerard and walter so i expected a fun horror movie that didn't take itself too seriously it actually does try to take itself seriously but is about as much fun as trip to the dentist do yourself a favour don't watch this movie you'll only encourage them to make more,negative
i have no idea how anyone can give this movie high marks i didn't rent it thinking it was the next great horror flick the next great horror spoof or the next great low budget horror spoof obviously this isn't meant to scare but one fatal flaw with the production entirely the joy out of the viewing experience the sound editing was horrible i had to work the volume control the entire movie you can imagine how difficult it is to get into something even a low budget spoof when you're either turning the volume up or down or trying to the next time you have to do so the regular dialogue is very low and all screams noises etc are very loud we're not talking about between 5 and 7 on the volume control finding a happy medium at 6 we're talking between 2 and 9 on the volume where it is virtually impossible to leave the volume alone again this movie might be a decent example of what it is meant to be but you're going to be spending so much time your volume control that you'll never have the chance to enjoy it,negative

michael hypnotic is a film that will stay in one's memory for quite a long time this crafted movie that michael and mark polish wrote is visually one of the best things that came out last year from the world of independent films the movie is photographed by m david with a haunting score by stuart br br if you haven't seen the film perhaps you should stop reading here br br the idea to set the film in montana was a great coup for the polish brothers never has the views of the country and mountains been so vividly captured as in we don't need any color the beauty is in the dark tones of the film that enhances the story of the in this remote br br at the center of the story is irwin the sick child under the care of the mysterious father this boy is seen in his bed where the kind priest is the medicine for his body but is he really there at all we watch him with the odd group that we first encounter around the cemetery there are two open graves will one of them be for irwin br br at the same time another plot line plays parallel to this first theme we see the six men in black that have come to the area in order to remove from the area as many people as they can this will be the bed for the man made lake that will be created their reward is one and a half of lake front property if they move a certain amount of people br br the third story line centers on the mystical group composed by flower cup of tea and happy they are following a possibility of a link to an angel that has been injured in this area when irwin meets them at the cemetery he offers to help only if they take him away at least a thousand miles from here we watch as the examine the the boy has placed among the pages of his bible could irwin be that angel br br the closing sequence show us all parties leaving in different directions the men in black riding their perhaps going home to enjoy the newly acquired given to them as a reward the mystical group is seen a plane and taking off for a higher place we also realize that the child in father in spite of the and the care he received from the figure has died br br michael polish got one of the best ensemble acting from all the principals nick nolte as father turns a low key performance in his portrayal of this kind man james woods as walter one of the men working for the does a fine job the biggest surprise is duel farmer who makes an excellent impression as irwin this child actor with the right shows great promise br br the mystical group is brilliantly acted by hannah robin ben foster and anthony the man with the funny peter mark polish ben foster and the rest of the cast are flawless under mr polish direction br br the beauty of the film relies in its simplicity mr vision will haunt one's memory the images of montana as perhaps an unreal landscape is one of the best things in american films in quite a while,positive
i once caught about a 20 minute portion of this movie on turner classic movies about 6 months back i thought every minute of what i was watching was gold and because it was somewhere in the film's middle and i didn't want to spoil the whole thing if i were to watch it from the start i decided that i would rent it immediately well the video store which i frequent did not have a copy so it took me six months to finally go somewhere else and rent it i had previous to that experience only seen some chaplin shorts funny but not greatly but after i saw the of the great dictator i checked out three of his other films city lights the gold rush and modern times city lights was great i found the gold rush a little overrated but still worthwhile and i found modern times to be one of the funniest films i've ever seen second funniest behind keaton's sherlock jr more exactly br br finally the whole of the great dictator well to be honest it had its moments both of comedy and of drama but these moments don't always mix well comedy worked well when mixed with melodrama city lights is the best example of this but it didn't always work with social commentary plus the fact that there was dialogue the of talent don't get me wrong i liked the movie as a whole but i thought it of little consequence i would have given it a solid 7 10 on the ratings scale if not for the ending the final speech that the jewish gives is enormously powerful yes it is to the et of 1940 but his message is perfectly to the world today the speech brought me to tears and i consider it one of the best endings i've ever seen final score 8 10,positive
i don't know how people can watch this the only people who enjoy watching this are those who have no feelings and emotions and enjoy watching people die houses burn down car crashes babies die and cast members being killed off every week its the most absurd thing on television and i still don't know how it pulls in the ratings its so depressing i can imagine the writers sitting down and saying who shall we kill of next week or house shall we torch in a months time ' br br its the most depressing absurd and most stupid thing on tv at the moment and i cant understand peoples motives for watching this depressing pile of crap anymore,negative
action cheesy love story unexpected actors and overall great fun the special effect are acceptable decent some of the fighting is kinda neat with some interesting moves the overall story moves along and is cheesy enough to keep you wondering when the inevitable is going to happen although there is a bit of a twist just a small one the overall of the movie make it quite whimsical at times cute enough chicks too what more could you want ps if you're gonna review a movie like this try to review it in terms of the category the movie would fall not necessarily where it was intended to fall ie don't bomb out good cheesy movies,positive
james cagney and political ward get to become a deputy of and visits a boys school the catch is that cagney is not in it for the he genuinely wants to make a difference in the lives of the kids there because he comes from a background like br br the villain of the piece is dudley who is a and a to boot one of the of the plot of the mayor of hell is that these kids are mostly immigrants and those that judge them and are in positions of power are those who are here a few generations note in the mess hall scene as offers a of thanks for the food they are about to receive is eating well but the kids are getting quality you wouldn't feed to your pet br br cagney has his own troubles back in the city with some of his henchmen and he has to take it on the that puts back in charge and setting up the film for it's climax br br the mayor of hell was a typical product from the working class studio and because it was pre code it gets pretty gruesome at times a later version of this crime school with bogart and the dead end kids was a more remake br br although cagney is fine in the lead role as is evans the school nurse the acting go to dudley hard to believe that the same man could portray the drunken but kindly one surgeon in on the bounty but is a fine player and a joy to watch in every film he's in br br this film is not shown to often because of the racial and ethnic stereotypes it portrays a whole lot of would be offended today still it's a fine film br br interestingly enough a few years ago the film came out and it touched on some of the same issues i guess films about schools don't change in any time,positive
as other reviewers have noted this movie is a cross between i e stolen from stories we have seen before specifically this looks like clint eastwood in high drifter inserted into mad max remove and replace with a cigarette remove his horse and give him a high tech motorcycle and an updated drifter in this movie the hero is even more blatantly a than high drifter now our hero has long brown hair suffers a wound to his left side and his entry into town is by a for salvation by the surviving a pretty transparent reference to a second coming i watched the movie on a hot morning sleep was impossible and upon at 4 30 am there was nothing else on tv so the movie served its purpose while unoriginal with characters that are almost comic caricatures the movie is still somewhat entertaining at least at 4 30 in the morning,negative
sex and the city has some great things going for it the problem is that it's with a number of that really hurt the ultimate rating and review for its' six seasons br br the good things about is that a lot of the conversations ring true to life the romance stories are interesting and the characters are fun br br the bad things is that few women act like complete these four women have so many partners even going lesbian in some episodes that you have no choice but to roll your eyes at the utter absurdity men on the show are for the most part depicted as shallow and the foul language these women use is far in excess as to what a normal conversation why do the writers do these things clearly to be over the top and to get your attention br br another thing that bothered me without spoiling is how some of the relationships ended they simply didn't ring real to me or to others i discussed this with br br but even though i gave the show 2 stars in the end i'm glad i watched the show i've actually watched every season multiple times i do recommend the show to anyone that won't be offended by strong profanity and soft core pornography i could have done less with the offensive language and the nudity and sex acts but the romance was very good and the saga ends pretty well,negative
yes at times love as it no as it from one story element to another in the most unconventional use of elements and characters in fact it wasn't until i watched the film for the second time that i began to understand what i think p j hogan might have been attempting to do with this quirky unconventional flick perhaps the entire film itself is a metaphor for the love for which grace kathy bates and describes in the later part of the film grace insists that love is just that without condition and without so i watched love again with that in mind i laughed much more than i did the first time i became more involved with the characters i began to understand the at times absurd turns the story takes the performances are often over the top but no more than they need to be to fit weird and vision a vision which moved me to tears yearning and of side splitting laughter yes hogan is asking a great deal of his audience but i for one have come to truly love his film,positive
claire booth the women shows relationships with men through a woman's point of view in a play and 1939 film that also has joan crawford playing a bitch a character who might have been amanda 20 years before that has no male characters here we see the male characters and what a bunch they are they use women like toys and throw them away leaving the women to suffer ironically the women in the women perhaps because they are all we see are shown in a less than light alternately silly and scheming with the only nice one norma growing by the end in the best of everything we see the men for the they are while the women are largely innocent and vulnerable br br this is a film about women from things diane baker leaps from a car in perhaps the most absurd scene in cinema history which is not in the book parker falls from a fire escape the women in the film are into the looking for success and love at the same time women would leap into the future and leave this type of soap opera behind in the next decade but they would come back to it in the 80's and 90's through the novels of people like sidney and although their works aren't as good as this br br the best thing about this film is the way it looks i love the glossy films of the 50's and 60's they look so much better than the challenged home movies we've been making since especially in the version we see on tv and the dvd with the picture so clear you could walk into it the look of the of young in it is also memorable this film probably has more beautiful women in it than any other it has a parker a beauty queen myrna who was not miss america 1954 as says in the dvd commentary but rather miss usa 1953 per the imdb but so what and a playboy june blair from january 1957 my vote goes to one of the astonishing of all time her acting here isn't as awful as people pretend they are just as people did then to the sight of a the first really trying to act nobody seemed to care how well she did her role that of an apparently woman who turns out to be the most vulnerable is the most complex in the bunch and she does just fine br br the most touching thing about the film now is the age of the female leads at the time hope lange was 27 when they filmed this in the spring of 1959 diane baker was 20 parker was 26 hope who looked to be grace kelly's heir never made it really big and wound up being mrs on television and per the imdb wound up living in a home with for coffee tables because she spent her money on causes she believed in before dying at age in 2003 this film must have seemed a very distant and irrelevant memory to her by then baker always a welcome face in 60's tv especially to richard and still active as an actress and acting coach just turned parker found the best of everything with for 40 years before dying at age 70 the same year lange did but here they are young beautiful and ambitious for success and love just like their characters,positive
when i was a child my grandmother took me to see this movie and i fell in love with it i admired dorothy so very much and wanted to be like her i fell in love with sidney pearl made me laugh and sammy davis jr was so great as life the music was just breath taken when i had my first son and the movie came on tv i let him see it and to this day he has never forgotten this movie he loved it i will always remember and it has a special place in my heart then and now i really wish that they would this movie because it was one of the greatest movies there has ever been with an all star black cast,positive
now that i have seen it it was not what i was expecting at least not until the very end i read some of the other reviews before picking up a used copy of this from amazon and was glad i did having been first introduced to work via i was curious to how he'd treat the genre and was rather pleased at the clever manner in which he executed it i think park has in terms of presentation because while and some of his other work has very nice and deliberate camera work he has some nice in that i had not seen in other movies for example the scene where father is realizing the beast growing within him as he gives his shoes to the always and he is able to see the blood through skin and his in blood lust for it that was a nice effect i was also happy that park did not cg the crap out of the movie and the is in fact very little cg at all i came away from being totally set up to think one thing was going to happen and get taken for a ride in true park fashion additionally i liked that park played with a little symbolism and whereas we don't usually get this is asia cinema during the beginning of the movie we see the plot develop slowly and get to know the characters and you feel like an invisible to the thing that are park treats you a little like ghost of christmas future coming to show you albeit a bit what life is like outside your world ah but then we start to feel a little with the father and his lust for and conflict with duty as a priest we almost start to root for them even until park not so nicely us back into reality and we really see that in the end is a movie about moral dilemma and right and wrong it won't spoil it if i tell you to watch from the mindset of a priest and i think you'll come away from it with what park wants you to come away with don't expect and because that's not what you'll get here a very interesting take on the genre indeed those who missed the many literary elements and religious watched some other movie not after watch let the right one in it's also not what you'll expect either,positive
i remember watching police squad when it first came on abc in 1982 and i thought it was a very funny show thanks to the many sight gags non and scripts filled with word play in one episode there was a line where a man named once was shot twice br br but unfortunately abc canceled the show after only six episodes i felt it deserved a much longer run but a network executive thought the show too much attention of the viewer because of all the sight gags in each episode one that i remember was in the opening where the title was different from the one shown on the screen br br leslie portrayal of frank was deadpan yet very funny and his role was in the narrative style of jack of alan north did well and peter in one of his few roles since mission impossible wasn't bad as but the one character that stood out was johnny the boy played by william after giving advice to there were cameos from dick clark dr brothers and then manager tommy br br even though police squad had a short life on abc the brothers didn't give up on the concept which turned out even more successful in the naked gun movie franchise i'll close with a regular closing gag freeze the ending right here,positive
after a while i realized it was just my iq slowly dropping is one of those pathetic movies where no one and i mean no one is even trying i for the hero to die inside that how did he even manage to fit in there anyway the queen of b movies was horribly unfunny and ripped me and my friends off by not showing her boobs a single time br br the characters though i use that term loosely are people so exaggerated and one dimensional they might as well have used cardboard the jokes i use this term loosely as well are simply hilarious a guy's fart causes an our hero gets a butt by oh god i can't breathe the blind guy uses the f word repeatedly this is too much br br say what you want about the acting but i thought adam did a pretty good job at playing a mentally challenged apart from that the sole source of entertainment value here is boobs i think i counted three maybe four throughout the entire film scattered over maybe five minutes of screen time that's five minutes worth watching out of minutes of unfunny trash don't watch this watch wire with pamela anderson at least there was plenty of nudity and action in that trashy flick r 26,negative
i've been waiting for this movie for so many years the best part is that it lives up to my visions this is a must see for any d or true jack black fan it's just so great to see and lee on the big screen it's not a true story but who cares the d is the greatest band on earth i had the soundtrack to the movie last week and listened to it non stop to see the movie was pure bliss for me and my we've both met jack and kyle after 2 different d and also saw them when they with we left that concert after the d was done playing nobody can top their show long live the d d,positive
oh dear what can i say about half past dead i was really disappointed in it i was thinking a steven seagal movie cool we'll get to see him kick people and flip people and break bones we might even get to see him have a stick fight with somebody excellent br br however i was in for a rude awakening this film can be summed up as follows br br take an episode of the a team remove the lovable and characters such as mr t and face then get a writer director to pen a plot even ed wood would be ashamed of and who's too big a fan of the matrix and john woo movies for his own good throw in a bunch of people with really bad acting ability and who don't have real names finally add in a main star who's getting around the and doesn't appear to be able to do his own stunts anymore br br the result half past dead an action movie so ridiculous that it at least made me smile right the way through the plot holes are large for example prisoners who when the jail is fight the rather than attempting to escape or how about the prison itself which has an that contains heavy and rocket you also have a helicopter bearing a striking resemblance to a with some kind of video game in the nose br br then there's seagal himself i like the guy he can fight he's even witty in a way that jean claude van damme will never be but all through the movie i kept hoping for that one great defining fight scene never happened instead we got people firing guns a lot and not hitting a whole hell of a lot i mean when someone runs down a narrow and you fire a sub at them there isn't a whole lot of places the bullets can go other than down the and into the target yet somehow they miss even the a team would cringe at this and then when it gets to any kind of one on one physical stuff we get treated to a matrix rip off without the benefit of bullet time people getting kicked twenty feet through the air and other ludicrous nonsense br br c'mon steven you're better than this your career can't be over say it ain't so br br this is instantly forgettable except i'm forcing myself to remember for the purposes of this review and if you watch it try to find it amusing in an a team kind of way but i doubt it'll be high on anyone's re watchable list out for justice this ain't more like out to lunch,negative
i got interested in this movie because somebody had made a beautiful video for with clips from it so i watched the movie and it is indeed beautiful a masterpiece of animation br br unfortunately the story doesn't keep up it starts out well with interesting about people for the possession of the rose bride but suddenly fill up with water and their walls people away and finally for no reason whatsoever is into a car and a chase ensues br br i like much anime for it's ability to make alternative but this universe is just stupid if you are gonna watch this movie turn of the sound it's better that way,negative
this movie did attempt to capture the naive that many young girls have for fun friendship escape danger sex maturity etc the problem was that it failed to establish these things on every single level which is why it failed to build a decent story around them i couldn't follow the point of any part of this story nor any reason why i should care br br this movie is not an exploration into at all it's basically about a girl being in love with her sister and her sister being in love with the idea of men while the latter tries out her love of men the former tries to win her sister back by getting even br br the plot is weak the characters are weak and the reality of it all was similar to an amateur porn filmmaker without the sexual substance,negative
rarely does a film capture such intense drama and emotion what makes this film so unsettling is that the drama feels so real it's almost hard to remember that it's only a movie this is by far and alan performance of their careers the film almost feels like a theatrical production the way it is staged and lit the only bad thing about this movie is that it's very difficult to get a copy of it i have yet to see it other than on this truly powerful film deserves a transfer and special edition treatment on dvd it really is that good,positive
i loved this movie jack black and kyle have probably made one of the best comedies since up in smoke this movie has something for everyone rock drugs and satan what more could someone want i suggest this movie to anyone that wants to sit back and forget all the trouble in the world and have a good laugh even if the movie does not do well in the theaters it is sure to become a cult classic i do suggest anyone going to see the movie pick up the first album because a lot of the jokes are made only funnier if you have heard the songs such as obsession with sasquatch and the epic battle against the devil the movie still is laughs even if you have not heard their music but the songs are so great you can't pass them up,positive
not a but a good movie to see once or twice bill macy shows he can do more than just act his writing was pretty darn good great supporting cast especially jamie as the private eye br br the movie's greatest strength is the work of macy who reminds us of his jerry role from he has numerous scenes where he is extremely funny as a slimy and character it's enjoyable to watch him be a and for a while i was happy that things were turning out well for him out of four,positive
1 bad acting br br 2 for a bunch of on an alien planet it sure looked like home especially with the houses and roads you can glimpse in the background br br 3 terrible plot with stupid making idiotic decisions and losing precious survival equipment and clothing left right and center br br 4 cool 70's scifi possibly the only good thing about this movie br br 5 interesting ship at the beginning this crew must have been watching space 1999 a lot too bad it blows up so early the escape ship also got sunk too fast sigh br br 6 might find some aspects of the movie interesting in terms of group behavior,negative
i had borrowed the three sarah movies from a friend and had watched them while sick in bed during one weekend i thoroughly enjoyed every one of them i enjoyed how the last movie gave a glimpse of what and his sister were like when they grew up in addition i liked the carry through of the billy boy song that first was heard during the credits of the first movie the title sarah plain and tall however the one thing in end that i didn't like was the youngest daughter she was a very cute little girl but she just had too much spirit and looked like a brat compared to the other kids even compared to but still good natured when he was younger,positive
this film is brilliant without a doubt watched it a while ago after constant from family members who are right into their sci fi films which i am not and thought it was quite good but after recently watching a few documentaries on outer space etc we watched it again and it is good br br kevin spacey is without doubt one of the greatest actors ever and i really like jeff bridges big blown away road the film revolves around a patient in a home who claims he is from another planet yeah right you think but what if his story is so believable that even his psychiatrist begins to wonder if he is telling the truth br br that is how the story with bridges going through all kinds of emotions dealing with as he is known his own psychiatric colleagues his wife and family his brother in law and his work colleagues who after getting some data from pretty much admit that he might be telling the truth a great film that you wondering br br 8 10 dave,positive
pretentious herman about a young man's vaguely incestuous relationship with his mother getting transferred to his long lost sister who has been raised by or something like that – not that anyone really cares to unravel its multi layered plot out with pornographic sex scenes pseudo symbolic imagery the siblings swimming in a river of blood and other bizarre touches a gypsy child repeatedly insults by in the street until she is beaten to death the music of a rock group in the of old buildings considering the source material and the presence of catherine who at least gets to in the nude i was expecting a lot more from this one apparently there's an even longer tv version of x out,negative
not entirely sure how i stumbled upon this movie but i'm so glad i did initially we were put off by the fact that it was subtitled but even my brother who hates to read especially at the weekend enjoyed this film i found the script fantastic and the way it was delivered in such a dead pan manner only added to the of pee on my not entirely sure whether it's quite so funny to the native danish as the comedy seems to be enhanced by the of the subtitles and the ambiguity of the translation i haven't watched many danish films or any for that matter but judging by this film i'm guessing they're not by the same political correctness as elsewhere bless 'em making the character of a breath of fresh air because let's face it special needs are funny there are so many great one liners in this film it puts american sitcoms to shame,positive
though not a complete waste of time really wasn't all sweet as it to be nor are the ages of the actors they're portraying – 18 my butt could have actually shown up in the film telling us he was 30 and ask us to believe it even michael j fox was more believable as a teen in to the parts ii and iii okay maybe not they're probably equal believability if you can get past the obvious age flaw you'll have either the complete void of acting or simply overacting paul so called anguish clarence lifetime moments and even though i do favor brendan it's best to just watch him and more in vs jason ' incomprehensible scenes a faster than britney spears marriage incest to prove a point and a man who needs help to but still has one hand free – i'm guessing this was the writer's fantasy an entire movie of despicable characters anthony might be playing someone that's 18 but acts like he's 12 and some odd john thrown in so character can save the day – was there really a sex scene in front of a baby and practically every character questioning their own sexuality by strange actions scenes on the positive side i did enjoy ian voice over seeing a rarely well portrayed straight gay friendship puppy love from someone who stuffed that is good score some decent dialogue love the of gays and – wish more people would realize that and acting from the female leads as well as i can't really recommend it as it's really trying to be too many things – gay tolerance gay wwii epic first love flawed judges etc etc etc – on a budget,negative
as a kid i grew up with the 60's tv series and no i'm not that however when director tim burton brought his novel vision to the silver screen i simply took an immediate shine to it and never backed away from his over the much hyped latest and 'the dark which i don't really care for even if they're going for a much more grounded approach and wanting to explore bruce wayne batman psyche but in honesty i don't think there's all that much to tap in to i wanted crazy fun with a dark streak and in my eyes that's what burton brought across and this is the reason why i can watch them over and over again br br after audiences with the 1989 thanks to the gothic art direction and jack nicholson take no prisoners performance of the up but psychotic joker burton would return 3 years later for the follow up and my favorite of the batman films so far camp but well done in what would fair up to being even more dreary and and having two villainous for the price of one enter the grotesque penguin with danny going out on a and the ravishing a steamy michelle pfeiffer who fills out the suit nicely coming to spoil party again batman an brooding michael keaton is equally commendable and looks quite in that bat look at the eyes plays second to the bad guys but i always preferred this sober interpretation of batman that gave him an gloomy but also a wearing psychological complexity that never felt the need to force feed and his turn of bruce wayne was well served too atmospheric direction opens with his gothic style an carnival comic book world in with a splendid range of characters and vivid costumes the moody narrative in what probably is a tad too long is more so symbolic in its progression rather show its and set pieces and art direction covered with shadowy and grey blue lighting of a backdrop the free flowing camera work takes flight and danny score the along with gloomy touches with a very hypnotic pull the rest of the performances might be overshadowed but christopher walken in his teeth into a role of a two faced businessman max pat is back but gets very little to do as james gordon and michael is delightful as alfred in solid support are michael murphy andrew vincent doug jones and peter also makes a cameo appearance,positive
just exactly how director john come to settle with nicolas cage and penelope playing the roles of an italian officer and a greek in an story captain just escapes me witness a inconsistent accent by cage amid horrendous over acting with more adequately cast as a spoiled latino opposite johnny in blow in basically a repeat performance under the of a greek nurse it was painful but there were saving br br the story itself is thrilling to tragic and cage does have some redeeming this is musical ability next a superb performance by john hurt father the village doctor of oscar as well as by irene each as village as well as by christian son among the village freedom fighters go far towards counter awkward performances especially at the beginning by and cage nicely the last two seem to grow into their respective roles as the film progresses but it´s teeth early on finally the scenery itself and the photography could garner a technical award and such provides pleasant when most needed br br john hurt already has two oscar nominations and this would be a third i hope he gets it as his performance as the doctor makes this film worth seeing the true test of a supporting actor actress is whether or not the film would be the same without the in question and in this case it would most certainly not be not even close br br entertainment value but for the plus factors which do help raise the bar see it if you rating 3 5 stars of five,positive
you know you've got a bad film when you hear that the soundtrack is performed completely on a single cheap without any melody or sense of rhythm br br it's hard to see how anyone could take this film seriously even while giving it a bad review this film is way beneath br br the continuity of this film is outrageously butchered in one fight scene we the hero wearing and turn a corner with two in his hand he back only now he has two semi in his hands he turns another corner and now he has an automatic rifle in his hands he chases down a and comes out suddenly dressed in standard army jacket with a shotgun after which he the building with yet another automatic rifle or here's one for the books a bus into a car at high speed the car goes flying thrown by a gigantic explosion cut to the bus which is completely from the same explosion the narrative continuity suffers from an equally numbing sense of the bad guys really want to kill the hero obviously but every time they knock him out or otherwise get him in a vulnerable position they suddenly decide they want him to live to see this huh one of the funnier moments of the film is when the hero is released from isolation because his lawyer has come to see him then the bad guy decides he's not going to let the two meet after all and this despite the fact that the the villain the hero and his lawyer all know what's going on anyway so the hero writes a note to the lawyer and next we see the note being passed to the lawyer by another prisoner even though we never see the hero give it to him this lawyer btw has complete access to the of the in california including its computer files huh well but it's a mindless action movie so the action scenes not bad surprisingly unfortunately they happen to be from about a dozen hong kong films made five or ten years previously the opening scene a shoot out in a garage actually has shots the composition of which are stolen directly from hard boiled so clearly so that it's a wonder john woo didn't sue for br br other hong kong films stolen from include prison on fire island on fire burning paradise police story i ii and iii aka i thought i recognized a couple sammo hung clips here as well in other words the actions scenes are exciting only to the extent that they are successful of action scenes from other films br br there's nothing one can do with this film unless one shoots and just needs a lot of visual that be make any sense br br very funny film for all the wrong reasons,negative
not too many people seem to know about this movie which is too bad because i think it's pretty good sure it is a bit cheesy at times and may have a predictable storyline but the presentation of the movie is pretty well done i think the casting is good with likeable actors characters tom does a good job at playing a baseball player go figure not too much of a stretch i suppose and ken from black rain plays the chief the coach of the japanese baseball team there isn't too much to complain about it's just a light easy going happy comedy and i recommend it,positive
ok so it's not great either but only because of how great laurel and hardy have been in the past if this film received a total with picture quality enhanced add new dubbing to the badly dubbed voices and added a nice background music then this film would truly start to take shape as it is it does have it's problems people do it for how old the boys look surprise they were in their 60's and had led a however to me they still came across as having of charm and while this doesn't even come close to the feet of their classics i gave it a 4 it's worth a watch simply because it's them to think otherwise would be,negative
i have been a fan of since all that and she is still funny too me it's as simple as that if you like the you will like this film it's harmless fun and quite funny in parts wacky sebastian accent and mannerisms are entirely unrealistic but made me laugh so hard at some points i almost on my popcorn br br and anything that gets teens reading shakespeare maybe is a good thing for me br br on a shallow note is quite freaking hot he also does a good job with some of the film's scenes br br some of the side characters are very broad but they are broad in night so it's cool,positive
this is the worst movie i have ever seen as well as the worst that i will probably ever see i see no need to rehash what all the others have said previously just be br br this is not one of those bad movies you think you want to watch because you want to be able to make fun of it its just plain bad bad bad bad bad br br this movie is the equivalent to having a pet rock as your friend you wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait for something to happen unfortunately it never does at least with a pet rock you knew what you were getting into gate completely on this no this is a disaster after watching this film you would swear george w bush had his hands all over the making of this film yes its that idiotic br br stay away unless of course you just want to watch the worst movie of all time its probably how gate figured it would make some money off this piece of tripe,negative
now i like the bollywood films and i'm very glad they have recently gained success in the uk however latest effort is a deeply flawed film from start to finish br br the idea of a modern bollywood take on was quite an exciting one that is until the two supposed appear on the scene looking as if they have never touched a piece of in their lives is a very good looking man and the film plays to his sensibilities but he is never once believable as a modern in terms of acting all he can do is stand there and his expressions hair and clothes all look the same throughout including the scene where he is supposedly when in fact he appears to have nothing but a slight bobby playing the role does his best to up what little wooden script there is but alas just comes across as a little bit angry when he is supposed to be with jealousy br br bollywood films are widely renowned for their stunning set pieces and colour schemes but looks like a drab bbc drama in fact the closest thing comes to is as it blatantly hides a really bad script behind beautiful people looking well beautiful he has yet to reach mediocrity the same could be said for the totally songs br br in short latest offering has no boom bang or instead it merely along with its head held low hoping to catch your attention with a soft tap on the shoulder and that is not good enough at all,negative
for a super dog that was supposed to be the answer to crime was a br br all i ever saw do was sit or walk or run or run then walk then sit and then get back up again and stretch and then walk and then to k tel dance hits and sometimes it had all the answers to the daily but mostly it just sat a lot br br all i am saying is in a celebrity death match couldn't take out mr,negative
lucio fulci later known for his graphic horror films like the beyond and zombie was years earlier a master of the italian giallo in the company of and with films like a lizard in a woman's skin and his masterpiece don't torture a this film has all the elements of the italian mystery thriller genre known as the giallo but really pulls the viewers in by having each key character with a in his her own closet this keeps you doing as much detective work as the detectives in the film itself who is killing the young boys in town the young rich woman who is so bored that she sexually the eventual victims the reporter who likes to with a crime scene to get a better photo shot the with a mentally retarded daughter the local witch the town idiot the list goes on and you have to keep mental notes like a true game to play and solve the themes in this film are very daring and done with that perfect italian style in the early 1970s it is certain that no american studio would have even considered making a film of such strong content and that is precisely why this is such a satisfying film despite some unusual accent choices for the dubbing and will definitely have people discussing its meanings long after viewing it as the saying goes they don't make them like this anymore so get a copy and an important film like this one,positive
i have seen this play many times from olivier to branagh and this remains the one version that always stands out in my memory many actors have captured aspects of this character but for me it is always derek performance they are compared to and all others just come up a bit short,positive
i've seen soap operas more intelligent than this movie bad characters bad story and bad acting it would be a love story between a man and a mermaid really awful,negative
this is really one of the worst movies i have seen in a while it's not funny at all it simply portrays a lower class northern british setting i find it a very sad film at parts at others cuts are where they shouldn't be one thing that really annoyed me was the close ups of pointless objects it really down the pace of the movie i only made it through the movie because i fast certain sequences towards the end br br this movie completely loses the attention of the audience it's main problem is that it makes multiple reasons for one action which in turn tends to that action however if there is one reason for one action it makes it more passionate all in all this movie is all over the place i didn't learn enough about the characters to care about them because of the shifting plot lines and stories where as i would have maybe enjoyed exploring the life of one character br br for example at the beginning when the guy meets god in the bar god seems like a cool guy the movie could've on that moment and i think it would've been a lot funnier br br anyway enough watch it if you want but i'm warning you this film is crap i respect the makers for trying to pull it off with such a low budget but they could've done a much better job i guess it all lies in the camera movement and editing the acting was decent but then again that's just my opinion,negative
is not for his outstanding directorial skills in fact nobody cares as long as they got the laughs quite a few here to be honest scattered in the whole process thanks to half wit characterization and the dialogue puts in his mouth br br but this is not enough to make a great comedy since there's no movie outside of the usual premise a tough guy is doomed to team up with a very naive character in la or les there was a real story going on over the fire vs water proceedings le diner de cons although it was a play managed to create a real suspense about the next catastrophe would cause in the about the vengeance is both redundant and too weak to our interest plus the are lame both on screen and in the script br br now what's wrong this up creating no action no rhythm instead he uses and maybe he met william in hollywood and the really that lack of nerve and a in the story br br so you'll have to be content with performance,negative
yes i know that this movie is meant as a comedy and the humor is over the top but the theme about people getting less intelligent in future time might not be so far fetched i cannot say that it will happen but if we don't take proper care of our educational system than this could be a possibility i have noticed that some schools aren't teaching facts anymore like history basic stuff the focus is more on learning practical abilities the theory behind most subjects may be boring but is essential in understanding how things work in the movie there is this ridiculous example of people growing with in of water well we can laugh about it but if you never been taught that water contains necessary for plants to grow so how would you know to me this is a scary notion so now you understand why this subject isn't funny anymore it could be that mike judge is making fun but at the same time is warning people for a real disaster if education doesn't improve fast am i taking this movie too seriously yes of course to each his own fun i loved mike work and and office space in these he was able to be critical and funny at the same time in i missed this most of the events are too absurd and as i said earlier very scary i do think if you are in the mood you will like this movie,positive
written and directed by miyazaki is a little tale that speaks of respect for the ocean respect for humans young and old and respect for cultural differences it is a new tale of a little wishing to be a girl rather than a retelling of disney's little mermaid miyazaki has animated by hand a whimsical magical film for the young and the young at heart the film begins with a slow blue green palette of sea and scores of little with faces there isn't any need for narrative the motion of the creatures and the music of jo tell the beginning released last summer in japan won the japanese award for best animation film and best score com the little leaves her ocean home on a upon reaching the surface she is caught up in a fishing net full of other fish garbage and she is into a jar which is rolled to shore where five year old voice by frankie it he cuts his hand when breaking the jar open to free the little tastes his blood which cut and puts in motion her transformation to a human at the same time throwing nature out of balance puts the little in a green and names her meaning soft and like mother lisa tina lets him take to school which is right next door to the home where she works crazy driving down the road past a dry through the fishing town and up a tree road to the home is representative of miyazaki's wonderful sequence of action and illustrates perfectly a morning miyazaki has created another strong independent female character in lisa making her a loving sensible modern mother both to and conversation with the not coming home again husband matt damon because the ship he must make another run is a typical wife's reaction later that evening using a to speak to his father as the ship passes the cliff their house sits on lisa refuses to acknowledge and jumps up and bug off bug off bug off it is a hilarious scene but when takes the and tells his dad good luck love you lisa him and tells him he has a good heart it is a very poignant scene br br my personal favorites are miyazaki's elderly type women in at the home betty white and lily their over little is wonderful and reminiscent of the between the witch of the waste lauren bacall and sophie jean simmons as they up a long flight of stairs in moving castle magical sea god father liam neeson resembling the wizard arrives to take back to her ocean home uses one of his to try and put nature back in balance but magical little escapes again more in the process and causing a running on the backs of giant to get to this little girl reminds the audience of the stubborn adventurous little in my neighbor is just as adventurous and curious as when realizes what has done he calls for kate the of the ocean to help with the situation this wise arrives in a blue flowing that never ends she has a private talk with lisa discussing the future of the young children which helps the audience understand and relationship is not that of lovers but of brother and sister the life goes on quiet simple ending is typical of miyazaki films leaving the audience full of hope,positive
yep poorly filmed you zero budget they proudly claim it on their posters brilliant anyway or because of it for sure br br this movie and makes fun of everything that was classic about the 80s teen horror genre characters with absolutely no depth fitting into a stereotyped roll they never escape for a moment teenagers trying to survive a by some mysterious force they disturbed by doing something adolescent completely gratuitous nudity impossible amounts of blood coming out of victims slow moving zombies great one liners and our hero even wears a michael jackson jacket br br this is not an all out spoof like scary movie but more a tribute film to the lost innocence of the 80s horror movies when being scared and out could also be a fun silly sexy and goofy good time,positive
yeah i made it all the way to the end it was pretty hard though br br sometimes i was wondering if there was even a director on set the acting well i don't even know what to say i thought the girl who played emily tried her best with the boring sometimes wacky and sometimes predictable dialog br br i know that it was low budget but the hollow sound and the lighting unfortunately made it look and sound like a 100 minute long audition tape br br i'm not even going to talk about the ending br br the best thing about the movie was the music br br that being said i do not recommend this movie to anyone even for lesbians who don't have many movies to watch overall this is nothing to waste your time on if you're looking for a sad lesbian themed movie check out the children's hour lost and delirious or high art those will all leave you depressed and gloomy but you won't have to suffer cinematic hell in the process,negative
some people may remember ms russell from films such as black widow which had some appeal and critical acclaim boy she must have really needed a rent check when she signed on to do this dog br br yes there will be those who like the gratuitous violence and nudity but one must sit back and wonder in retrospect what possessed anyone to spend money and time to make this in the first place i just saw this movie on one of the and i can't believe they picked it up br br in 1996 ms didn't have the physical she did earlier in her career but come on having her play ma barker her sons all look like they could be her brothers it's also creepy in that you think there are going to be incestuous relationships occurring thank goodness there aren't hope that doesn't count as a spoiler with eric roberts and added into the cast this one is b movie to all the way br br the scenes between and ma barker either in person or on the phone are a in terrible terrible acting oh wait i forgot terrible terrible writing as well this one up to experience a bad experience,negative
i loved this movie and i watch it everyday i think that although the acting isn't all that great it's really just a bunch of guys having fun with a script i had been looking all over for this movie for almost a year and when i found it for thirty dollars i just had to get it it is now by far my favorite movie of all time it deals with relationship failure and at the same time making a joke of it i loved all the parts with don especially the one where asks him for a when they're sitting on the and he tells him to eat the one rolling down the it really portrays him as he really is the part in the making of really touched me when they brandon addiction to heroin and how much his friends and family were trying to help him a new movie that's in the making called is in production which is about the story of dreams by his addiction,positive
not to be confused with michael nasty 1975 beauty spoof this smile is a down turned example of those good intentions the road to hell br br the film parallels two stories an chinese father sacrifices his wife and son to raise a orphan named and a tv family act out get birth control katie the third olsen twin plays a spoiled self absorbed high from reality her teacher sean the way for a school trip to china aimed at showing students how to work with children br br the film uses as a means of suspense by treating like the frankenstein monster kramer continually masks her through hats and camera placement this approach exploits the freak show quality inherent in the material she may be uncomfortable with the way society views her and answer is to cover her up until the big reveal why your audience with such we see her face briefly at the end and only minutes before closing credit of her after surgery a beneath the it is not good enough to give the girl a reason to live what is is being equally as hot and popular as katie br br funding for the film came from a trust established by the late roy rogers and evans they a of quality family films give me son of any day,negative

the first time i watched this show it was ok there were some funny moments and i laughed a couple of times but this show is getting worse and worse and web show is not the least bit funny they play a stupid video from the internet scream at the camera and make some very bad jokes and then the laugh track goes off one problem with the show is that none of the main characters are funny is not funny miranda acting is lackluster at best her acting in this show is nothing like her acting from drake and josh her friend sam is very rude and crude and the show is written in a way that makes her look like some kind of i mean they make jokes about her mom driving a rusty old truck her mom an old tv with a bat and then there's the jokes about sam failing in school getting all the time and running from cops none of that is funny at all then there's freddy who is a computer geek he isn't too funny unless his mom is treating him like a baby the show's only somewhat funny full time character is brother spencer he makes some funny jokes and does some pretty funny things like pretending to drive a space ship while making spaceship noises knocking over a girl cookie table for revenge as they did the same thing to him his material is the only thing worth laughing at aside from the characters other things make the show bad too like the fact that a couple of kids doing a local web show from a seattle apartment is a worldwide hit and got them a free trip to tokyo another thing is that how can a 26 year old single guy with no real job can pay for a 2 level apartment in downtown seattle and raise his 13 year old sister and pay for a room full of camera and sound equipment including a remote controlled and a green screen and an camera this sounds like it was written by a 10 year old the worst thing is that the show contains some pretty questionable content there are a couple of times when remember a 13 year old girl appears on her internet web show in a bikini top wtf then i saw an episode where freddy tells and sam that he slept in just his the night before i mean wtf then there's an episode where rival her by taking her website rights and agrees to give her the website back in exchange for a kiss creepy and i just saw an episode where meets a boy who just moved into their apartment building and he has some kind of back injury and he takes off his shirt and stands there over him i can't believe nick even lets them show that kind off stuff and i can't believe that this was created by the same guy responsible for drake and josh this show is not appropriate for kids under the age of 12 and that's even questionable is just another addition to the long list of awful nick programming,negative
vincenzo a man that has spent years working at a steel mill as a man that the italian owners are selling to the chinese comes at the end of the meeting where the purchase is being arranged because he wants to tell the new of a flaw he has discovered and he thinks he has the solution he doesn't exactly himself to the italian old management or to the new chinese owners he even fights with the about the exact term he wants to use in expressing his concern br br the next thing we see is vincenzo arriving in china trying to contact the new owners to his there is someone new in charge as mr chong the man he tried to warn in italy has been fired his next quest is getting to the woman that was the liu he finds her working in a library but she tells him in no uncertain terms she blames him for being fired from her position liu who sees the desperation of vincenzo agrees to him to find his steel mill plant br br thus vincenzo and liu begin a voyage through some of the bleak countryside that involves traveling by train bus and truck to remote parts of the giant country finding the correct factory proves to be at best but vincenzo discovers a life that is completely alien to him as well as finding a kind soul who doesn't hesitate to help the italian man in spite of her initial for him br br film is a sort of he takes the viewer into unknown territory some comments compare vincenzo to the great italian although the similarities are not quite the film keeps our attention in the early stages of the trip but it starts getting somewhat less enjoyable as vincenzo gets stranded after from liu mr is an interesting director as he clearly demonstrates with this film for which he worked on the adaptation of novel which we haven't read br br sergio is the sole reason for watching the film this versatile actor brings a lot to the movie which in a way is a tour de force for him as he is seen in almost every frame of the picture the combination of and proves to be a winning combination who is making her debut as liu has some lovely moments and shows good chemistry with her co star br br photographed the chinese landscape in all its we see a china that is not picture post card pretty mr captures all the so typical of the areas where the film is set franco musical score serves the film well,positive
for a movie i was really looking forward to i was very disappointed i had no expectations of this being another but did expect a more significant portrayal of last years br br the performance by ed harris was superb but the story line was so weak that the film simply moved from one dreary scene to the next with no continuity br br the only enjoyable part of the film for me was the performance of the and from that point on i could quite happily have walked out without finishing br br i left feeling very and still have the feeling that something important was missed,negative
don't look in the basement is actually a very clever and well thought out exploitation flick that gets a bad rap because of its cheap quality and bad acting sure it's not a masterpiece by anyone's standards but it is a very fun little b film with a lot to offer and even a lot of creepy scenes that will stay in your head br br as i said the acting could have been a lot better but that's the case with most exploitation so i can't really complain the story is clever and has some great plot twists that will keep you guessing i thought the gore was a lot of fun too there's just something great about older gore films because they didn't have cgi back then so they had to actually set it all up themselves see this one for a good time,positive
this is one of the funniest movies i've seen in ages i watched for about 20 minutes slightly puzzled by what was going on then i started to laugh and didn't stop long after the movie ended such deadpan satire is rare indeed christopher guest has a true eye for the humor inherent in those who have no sense of humor about themselves about 90 of white males to start with as in waiting for guest nails middle america's idiotic self importance to the wall i can hardly wait for his next film,positive
first the current imdb plot description seems to be misleading the movie is about a group of girls who pick up a misogynistic who plans to kill them all they stop at a small motel where he holds them hostage but develops an intense attraction for one of the girls violence ensues br br i picked this up by mistake thinking it was the other 2007 movie the not that the is any better and i was looking for a crummy movie to watch anyway but this was almost unbearable at times i think i could have on a piece of paper and come up with a better plot than this br br i can't even count how many movies i've seen with virtually the same storyline so this was almost painfully predictable at times but what really made it awful were a few scenes that well let me give an example at one point a door is covered in what is very obviously blood and two police officers at the scene because of a call are looking at it from 30 feet away see a man also covered in blood walk out of the door agree that it looks suspicious but decide to not investigate further br br but however ridiculous it may be the movie was never boring was well produced directed and acted complete with good special effects gratuitous nudity and violence i probably would not recommend actually spending 90 minutes of your life sitting down to watch this movie but it turned out to be perfect to have on while i my basement also highly recommended for fans of crummy movies and would be a good movie to watch with friends when you plan on doing more talking than watching,negative
although casper van and michael are generally to b movies even they are above this movie it fails to convey even the slightest sense of excitement fear or dread unless you count the dread of sitting through the rest of this garbage the direction is amateurish with annoying cuts and jerky movement that hides the fact that the killer is no where near the victims when he attacks and what a killer he is a cheap skull mask and a black hood i liked him better when he was fighting he man this is one of the jobs of character design i've ever seen i mean it's and he's on a horse this is supposed to be some scary supernatural creature how are we supposed to take this seriously all we get is scenes of this dude riding around the woods on his horse which he can barely stay on interspersed with scenes of soldiers shooting randomly into the woods thinking they can shoot a ghost occasionally will shoot someone with an arrow or ride by and stab someone revealing how corny the effects really are i generally enjoy sci fi channel fare on a basic cheese level but this film is too inept for any level of enjoyment where's dolph lundgren when you need him,negative
i'm sorry to see that it has been rated that low by many people the series started off very good and after the first season it wasn't that good br br people tend to forget the beginning of something and only look at the end this is not good to do you should look at the total not the end result it is sad that a lot of the usual characters died but damn we had a lot of nice new characters br br please do not yourself to a few characters but yourself to the series the plot please do understand that i didn't like it when died when died but well it needs to be done can you imagine that everyone keeps living the whole series when they are in a lot of danger all the time come on face it if they didn't die they would be in this way you will always keep the tension will he survive will he die i do realize that people their to characters i do that too my favorite character was the one who could get into every computer he wanted he was the one who was mysterious he could do things with the computer no one else could do br br i wish to make one statement to all the people who vote negative does a series which started so good deserve to have such low rating should we look at the final season instead of the total should we not see how good the series was when it started should we not see how much we enjoyed it,positive
i found this movie to be one of the best for this time and era the cast was very exceptional and most entertaining to all that saw it i would like for my younger generation to have seen this movie but i haven't been able to find or see the movie in the past my first viewing was back in the early sixties and i have been looking for it every since the movie showed me potential of how far we come go to become a gifted at a craft where we could only have meaningless roles to act as and servants br br and showed some of the urban life of my neighborhood as i saw it in the time where i needed good solid male role models the singing and acting had me skipping for days playing the part of different characters in this excellent movie,positive
as bad as this movie is i really like it the poor acting dialogue and action made it so funny i loved john travis from cop and stayed up all night working out how the death machines checked in at the airport if they can't speak probably had to shake nod at the security questions actually why can't they speak it fails to to any sort of movie making convention which makes it strangely interesting to watch just lots of people getting killed around a very loose plot surrounding hired killers no machines as such and those weird face mountain things on the front cover and the trailer do not appear i love the fact that there is no good guy in this film until about half way through and i love the numerous pointless scenes of that landing lots of people get killed who have nothing to do with the plot and no explanation is given about anything do not expect to understand this film instead admire how the main good guy can't even handle a random old guy in the bar who is presented as the bad guy yet speaks out against the decision to hire a scantily clad woman to dance badly in the corner for entertainment all the good guys seem to enjoy this why did old guy get to beat up our hero and why did the random bloke decide to help old guy in the fight why did the hero collapse under one punch from old guy onto the bar where a stream of water out in the background so it looks like it's coming from his mouth definite top 20 b movie must check for a part 2,negative
my take routine political thriller with mediocre action scenes and predictable twists br br a rarely seen political thriller which made a very poor box office response i managed to catch the shadow conspiracy on tv just now and while i was glad that i satisfied my curiosity to see this rare film i didn't exactly feel this film was all special considering the box office response to it shadow conspiracy is not all quite as bad as critics and the public to it but still ain't very good to begin with and everything from script to direction is pretty predictable charlie sheen plays the presidential assistant who finds himself caught up with and chases a lot of them when he discovers a deadly conspiracy which amongst the white house staff after a professor is murdered sheen aids the help of ex flame reporter amanda linda hamilton to the and the conspiracy of the title br br but this script written by are pedestrian as they come not much from other white house conspiracy thrillers as in absolute power and murder at some considerable talents donald sutherland ben and stephen lang try their best on a routine script but rarely saves it from predictability of the script not to mention a ludicrous scene which involves a toy helicopter which seems far too silly and out of place in this serious political thriller the shadow conspiracy has its moments i'm sure some of which are much to under appreciated director george pan serves up some decent chase scenes but none of which lifts this routine thriller of which there's not much payoff or surprises br br rating out of 5,negative
i kind of like it do have it´s charm but lately it´s to much propaganda in it for an a non american the patriotic feeling can be a bit to much br br i like that and goes from being lawyers as they were in the early parts of the tv show to become super that stops wars and entire its almost like watching a video from the us army br br i still watch the show so it´s not that bad but i would prefer more episodes when and military and save the world in the future,negative

eaten alive follows a young woman janet who for her lost sister turns out her sister have joined a that has disappeared into the of with vietnam veteran mark at her side she sets off to find her sister br br as per usual the acting isn't of the highest quality but you do get cannibal flick poster girl me me spending most of the time on screen with her breast bare female lead janet covered in gold paint and abused with a in snake blood among other things now that's gotta count for something br br but i must say that i find it bit hard to recommend this title if you are fan of the genre you will most likely recognize every gore scene in the movie bar a few and i mean that literally a lot of the gore scenes are lifted straight out other cannibal movies like man from deep river and last cannibal world there's probably more movies stuck in there br br ultimately this is one for die hard fans to check off their list if you haven't seen any italian jungle movies you'd be better off watching cannibal holocaust and if you're an avid fan you have seen most of the gore scenes in other movies,negative
the blond has a great script but i just wish errol flynn was in it instead of james cagney he's not the person for the part i do think olivia did a great job this movie is also a day dream wrap around so it's hard to follow i don't like the male character attitude the way cagney presented it was just off i give it a 3 for poor acting by main male character if you like tough men that like to fight all the time and argue then this is your movie the blond would have been better if the main character had more of a attitude and change the script so he is happy he's with br br this movie points out money does not bring happiness women right jokes plain and simple not the best movie but every one must decide for themselves,negative

i like so many others on here bought this movie at my local in the two for 11 00 cheap o bin i love cheesy b horror and sci fi movies and this one definitely fits in that category pretty much what everyone else on here said is dead on yes it was bad but that was to be expected the main problem i had with this movie is that it was just basically boring i mean serious yawn o the acting was bad the costumes k mart outfit circa 1982 were worse and the editing was awful no continuity whatsoever mr ultimately dies in an explosion of sorts uh although he encountered multiple explosion throughout this move i guess the last one just took its on him apparently earlier encounters with this military group took its on his horse it would change from red to black throughout this crap fest even for a b movie do yourself a favor and skip it the only good it serves me now it to add to my dvd collection hopefully no one will recognize it when they look through my movie collection thumbs down big time,negative

i didn't expect much when i decided to watch this movie so i was surprised to find myself thoroughly enjoying it a couple of scenes had me laughing almost the characters were engaging no pun intended however the story is predictable the fun of it comes from watching crawl character a yet wise california dude a country college girl brings home for trying in his awkward yet endearing way to fit in to their lifestyle i was also surprised that in all this there was a message if you have a chance see this movie,positive
i have seen about five or six episodes of this stupid show and most of them i was forced to watch and i did not like the episodes i saw what happened to dan schneider after giving us such awesome shows like drake and josh why did he decide to create a stupid show like this my problem is not just with dan it is also with the guys who nominated this show for an emmy were they drunk that day or what's the problem drake and josh didn't get nominated for an emmy but it's way better than 101 the makers of this show should be ashamed for the existence of this show let's just hope the of you know who will affect the show or better yet it'll cause it to get canceled,negative
this is the follow up creation to better off dead in a competition better off dead would win hands down but for star power one crazy summer savage better script problems with one crazy summer casting better off dead was cast so much better friendship shows cusack giving hateful looks to bill little trouble on the set more outrageous friends in but more genuine friends in plot was good you'll predict some of it but even the predictable parts go further than you think they could so even though this is better off ugly it's worth a look see moore before the plastic surgery if for no other reason john cusack fans you gotta see it just to say you have if you don't like i'm sorry i don't like him either but you can't escape him in this one at least he does a great job in the film doing a tribute to another movie monster editing needed help on the beach but for most part not much to complain about overall it's good and funny but try not to compare it to or you'll find it lacking sigh,positive
1st watched 4 30 2009 4 out of 10 john waters corny waters like comedy musical with some funny scenes and good parts but it didn't make a whole worthwhile experience john waters directed this music filled spoof of the fifties scene with johnny playing the title role this movie is very similar with what he did with the 60's spoof entitled but this one is not as effective some of the tunes are catchy some of the characters are interesting in their quirky waters like way and the portrayals are fine although sometimes overdone the storyline is similar to the movie grease where there is a good group and a bad group the guy from the bad group cry baby a girl from the good group the good girl then joins the bad group but once cry baby hurts her she falls back to the good group this just sets up the ending where cry baby tries to win her back now one difference that is expected in movies is that the bad group doesn't appear all that bad all the time and the good group acts like they have a pole up their you know what i definitely saw this in as well the wacky and isn't really all that much fun in this movie though and it just leaves us with a feeling like the movie could have been much better the prime appeal of the johnny character is that he's able to make one tear roll down his cheek thus his at various times and makes the women fall all over the place for him this is and the basic bottom line is that the movie is ok but not that great,negative
basically a road movie the gay and other gender themes are rather disturbing particularly when the child is involved you do have to hand it to the costume as for the actors the only one i was familiar with was i suppose it was a very good performance out of his or anyone's normal range the movie as a whole was shallow just a vehicle for the clever bitchy banter all in all i recommend this one,negative
sometimes when i hear an a list cast will be up together for 2 hours in a movie i hope and pray that it is good not for the sake of my 10 bucks or 2 hours but for the sake of these actors' careers in the case of be cool everything went to waste br br in the beginning of the film john travolta aka and a music executive played by james woods are driving in a car talking about movie sequels and how most aren't good if you look passed the fact that this scene was shot the same way quentin filmed his car scene in pulp fiction and listen to the dialogue you can't help but whether this is 1 a to the audience that this movie is going to suck or 2 an attempt to get the audience laughing at the sheer humor of 2 people talking about sequels in a sequel oh the irony in case you were wondering choice 1 is correct the cool and slick from the first and good film get is to play a mobster gone music business pro he steals a young hot singer christina from her ghetto out jewish manager vince vaughn and turns her into a singing sensation of course a movie about an ex mobster can never be complete without new causing havoc this time around the of choice are russian played by american actors who cannot act russian if my entire family hit them upside the head with their russian bare hands br br as a russian i wasn't so much offended by the way this film portrayed russians but instead as a writer i was more offended by the horrible dialogue this film tried too hard to get the audience to laugh it turned potentially good lines into a the russian black and gay jokes were the same ones only a couple of hundred times after calling the character a f he plays a gay bodyguard to vince vaughn and cedric the character a n he played a black with an who those who don't play his tracks with guns i wanted to walk out of the movie theater because it was painful to sit through if this was get none of this would've even needed to be in the film to build up drama or a really bad laugh br br what lacked in this film that didn't in get was hot attitude he's a completely different person in this sequel for one thing the old would've had more dialogue john travolta doesn't have more than 20 speaking lines in be cool because he is out staged by the repetitive lines and the hundred and two cameo appearances by the most random celebrities i won't ruin the shock by revealing all of the cameos for those who actually plan to see this movie please don't but i will say that it will forever me that these people agreed to be in a film of such br br what was even more stupid was the very lame dance sequence with travolta and uma thurman she plays the widower of james woods who luckily gets killed in the first 10 minutes of the movie never made pulp fiction for an idiot like the director of be cool to mess around with this dance number was boring long and just plain the black eyed playing in the club with a total of 10 people didn't make the scene any memorable br br there were so many plot holes that i left the theater asking myself why everything about this film was a big question mark i just didn't understand the point to anything i couldn't even explain to you why the russians were after everyone or why this film was ever made because i'm all i took out of this movie was that everyone in l a has a sidekick and the only way this movie was probably was through all of the by coke insight hybrid t mobile even the herself is in the movie and the bad screenwriters plot holes stupid dialogue too many random cameos horrible acting even by the pros and a not so entertaining attempt to pulp fiction makes this film the worst movie of 2005 and it's only the third month of the year,negative
mr baseball is a film of written and filmed as a light sports comedy it truly has a heartwarming core as human and universal as some of finest at the plot level you have the of baseball a fine old american game as it is played in japan turned around with american values cast off and japanese values upon the game some of the superficial sports comedy results from jack's disbelief at how is played in japan you also have a lead character who's presented as an over the hill aging baseball star but who is actually quite immature pro ball allowed him to growing up and you have a lead character who is to the changes in his life that are being forced upon him to accept the that life has given him in the midst of a new country a new manager a new team and a new girlfriend who have all welcomed him and try to accept him sound like heavy stuff not really it's a charming clash of cultures comedy that takes place on the national sports romantic and professional levels but if you watch it enough you will also find a great story about a man who has to abandon his and grow up way too late in life causing some amount of personal pain and finds success in places he never expected it i love the story but i also have great respect for performance he his literally to portray an ugly american insulting people and throwing in public then lets us inside this character to understand his it also doesn't hurt if you're a big fan of ken like i am mr baseball is a surprising loss of innocence tale,positive
michael caine usually appears in either very good blame it on sleuth without a clue dirty rotten or truly bad comedies noises off death becomes her harry walter go to ny this falls into the latter category br br is a comedy that succeeds in only two things managing to waste a cast that includes caine and richardson all of which have comedic abilities and in its mission not to make the viewer laugh there isn't a single truly funny moment here the main reason is the lousy script there was so much effort put into writing a convoluted story which is simply too to follow considering it's only a comedy that the writer s forgot to make the damn thing funny which as far as i can recall is what the whole point of a comedy is supposed to be br br i've never seen this moron before some people even say if you're a moron fan you'll love this a moron fan does this non person really have fans a comedy as badly written as this requires a mega talent to out a laugh or two out of it someone like steve and not your average moron br br if you're going to make a comedy about actors then at least make them out to be the utter morons that they usually are the characters of caine and moron are dumb br br the single most annoying thing about this unfunny collection of scenes is the little girl only a truly horrible writer would think that to spice up a lousy script it's wise to include a super intelligent wise ass kid smart a kids aren't even funny to bill fans any more in little miss sunshine we had a totally normal kid and she was very funny this stupid ol' the kid is smarter than the adults belongs to a century old marx brothers film,negative
just got into viewing program for the first time recently the 2 hour kidnapping program don't know why i didn't sooner james is outstanding and wholly believable in the role as the chief at the featured 5 vegas complex br br so often programs like this have one or more in the ensemble who are either outright annoying or seem to have been picked because they must be related to the producer or director br br that is certainly not the case with this program along with all of the primary and supporting cast are engaging attractive and believable the guest actors are well chosen br br the stories i've seen are interesting and the show presents a good view of the city as well br br this is an entertaining program and one i hope will remain i don't know how i managed to miss it for so long but plan to it from now on,positive
in the eighties savage steve holland put out three movies two of which are classics of what seems to be a very small genre teen comedies the third how i got into college does not measure up to better off dead and this one mainly because of it's lack of john cusack and curtis armstrong except for a tiny cameo br br one crazy summer is an underrated movie with lots of great characterizations and gags as i recall savage movies were as being brain dead at the time and after three movies he into children's tv we could use more movies from the likes of him,positive
examination of the lives of three constantly complaining single ex in post war japan is a wonderful character piece they used to be friends in the old days but now their relationship is strained because one of the women has become a successful and the other two owe her although the is the only one who has become successful in this economy she is the only one of the three that has no children the other two each have a child whom they depend upon for because neither of them work complications ensue when the kids decide to get married though not to each other and leave home this leads to the bitter old women to become even more bitter and getting drunk and their rotten children and friend the meanwhile the is herself unhappy despite her she has no one besides her young deaf maid to keep her company and chance encounters with two former lovers from her geisha days lead nowhere all they really want is to borrow money from her the three characters are all neck deep in the of their own bored lives and are too weary to struggle much usually instead to themselves to the of it all or at the very most toss complaints back and forth to each other br br late is very slow moving and not much actually happens but like all great directors has the ability to do much with very little i haven't seen much of his work but i suspect that this isn't his best even though it is very good the problem i think is that it all doesn't seem to amount to much but the film is full of good points although it is cynical it isn't overly so seems to sympathize with his desperate characters and he paints vivid that make the characters seem even somewhat noble in the of their self made misery while the film isn't a must see it is important as a of the work of a great little known outside of his own country director precious little of which is available on video here in the u s,positive
this movie is sad according to my fellow imdb users spoiler uses stock footage from the films well since i have not seen the movies i cannot say but i do notice some pretty bad editing and even worse acting this movie is one big steaming pile of s it makes absolutely no sense here is this thing that calls itself a plot mad scientist re creates kill people sheriff spoiler although i don't know what it is that i'm spoiling sheriff catches on to mad doctor's plans army guys are sent in and start killing army guys yeah right i could make a clay figure that looks more real the fx are the ever used in a movie there is a lot of gore cheap gore it doesn't even look real i will agree with another person who rated this movie that the only thing this movie has going for it is the fact that it ends there are about two seconds of originality in this film and that only comes from when the sheriff is talking to some tax agent on the phone about his electric bill or something this idea has been used in about 100 000 other movies with 100 000 different names overall i'm gonna give 1 5 just because it ended,negative
while it's generally acknowledged one of the first martial arts movies to play here in the west it's real impact comes in retrospect lo is very low key throughout and many of the fight scenes while often as innovative which they were at the time of the movie's initial release are a tad tame compared to what came after particularly after bruce lee who became the instant standard by which all others will be judged that's not to say that five fingers of death king boxer is anything less than a classic in its own right because it is like many of the leading characters in many martial arts movies the character plays lays low through most of the movie for a reason but when he cuts loose he effectively house you can't ask for more than that,positive
i can't say how many times that one line has made me laugh or how often i've described that scene to folks not familiar with this film i saw it the year it was released i was 19 i don't think there were a dozen people in that east village theater that night for years i thought we were the only ones who saw it nice to see here that others found it as hysterical as i had and see it's lasting value despite the time gone by rent it buy it or steal it a must see,positive
just before dawn is an excellent horror movie it is atmospheric filled with tension made of wonderful shots of wild nature in which few young people meet their doom in the shape of two crazed fat who slaughter them jeff is very talented and intelligent director who is unfortunately underrated he achieved to built tension not with gore but with showing menacing nature environment succeeds to built a tension in a very linear simplistic way which is also the best way not to show to the viewer the gore but to let him to imagine the worst thing that happen to characters br br just before dawn was always compared to texas chainsaw massacre deliverance and hills have eyes it is as good looking as deliverance better than hills i mean scarier and better crafted and it is creepy as the texas chainsaw massacre br br is one of the best horrors of past few decades who finally lives on dvd,positive
this game requires stealth smart and a steady hand the is simply the best on top of that though are the interesting extras bullet holes stay in the walls enemies react to specific points where they have been hit by bullets there are tons of motion captured animations that make the enemies seem very real for instance when looking through a window at a guard he will stand there flies away or scratching himself the list goes on this is the best movie ever and it puts you in the shoes of the super spy this game is the best reason for an,positive

penelope of wayne's world fame made her mark with the documentary the decline of western civilization about the la punk scene in the late '70s and early '80s most of the documentary features interviews with the and footage of which often turn violent overall we get to see how the punk movement was a reaction to the hippies whereas the hippies were into being natural the wanted to have themselves as altered as possible what with hair and all but also we see how they're really and sometimes becoming br br anyway this is a really great time capsule we're not really sure whether we want to long for that era or feel by it but this is definitely not a documentary that will leave you neutral truly worth seeing,positive
the movie is about paul a young man who sinks into the harsh world of insanity and his stay at the mental hospital and his friends victor who during his education in england started to think he was hitler peter who took to much and tried to fly of a roof top the fall left no broken bones or physical damage only insanity he is with china has spent most time at the hospital although is slightly older then him he claims he wrote every single beatles song and send it to them by br br the novel is better then the movie and covers all of life from birth to his death there is a long time since i saw the movie but if i remember it right the movie doesn't cover childhood br br is funny sad and powerful if you haven't seen it watch it now and read the novel first it makes the movie better,positive
time travel is so i can give the script some br br i also understand the concept that by changing just one you can potentially change the way history br br what i cannot understand however is the way the change in time we are subjected to a series of which evolution while this is a convenient plot device as it allows our heroes enough time to resolve the problem it makes no sense whatsoever surely if you change a and that has significantly or even completely altered evolution then by the time you come back to the future the process has already been established and there would be no need for waves after all why would a change that happened million years ago need to wait until now to be effective the fact that the was projected forward in time may give it some credibility but the life of that million years ago was significantly altered any change to history would have begun then and not be upon a return to our current time br br to solve the problem the team goes back in time to prevent the change in from ever happening by doing this successfully we see that the changes to evolution never happened and that no one even remembers the events surely what works for the solution should work for the original change i like a good sci fi adventure but unless it is set in a galaxy far far away it needs to have at least some in possibility to make it truly entertaining br br good premise bad plot reasonable acting and in all fairness just a twist on jurassic park br br not on my watch again list,negative
if this is not my favorite movie of all time it definitely is in the top five i love this everything about this is perfect the clothes the set the lines yes they're not how normal people talk but right down to the small scenes especially at the beginning of the office girls changing their shoes picking a the office plant putting lunch in the identical to what us office girls do today in the year 2005 i think all the minor characters are wonderful if someone like joan crawford is over the top it's all part of the package if you pick out many things in the movie it is very evident that this was the beginning of the sixties as women were starting to not take it lying down at least not if they didn't want to as far as characters being for instance character acting like she's all for but then getting too attached to louis character isn't that what many people are like they mix in real stuff with scenes like diane character finding the love of her life after her baby in an accident lying in the hospital with a big old around her head this is part of the package too it's charm glossy i like the mix of real stories today the stereotypical career woman who only has affairs with married men therefore doesn't have a family when she is older with ones that make you wish ah if only i could fall in love with a doctor and he'll love me even though he knows my past and saw me all messed up after the accident also i just got the dvd widescreen it's yet even more beautiful than full screen,positive
a fine young cast is wasted in this empty manipulative film that tries to be a combination of both a cute comedy and an insightful drama the plot moves so slowly that the 90 minutes seems endless as characters do nothing but and the dialogue is filled with stilted cliches and fortune cookie attempts at pseudo philosophy br br apparently aiming at being a moving and profound look at life and love the film ends up being merely pretentious the only real weight is the burden that the talented cast is forced to carry as best they can but never fear they are held up by the puppet strings of the contrived plot,negative
is certainly an attractive and likable on screen persona in fact his character pretty much carries this whole film or what's worthwhile about it the problem is with the exception of his gal pal played by marisa and paul as a trick date boyfriend for some of the characters no one else even comes close plays a 30 something director of cuban and unknown sexuality who comes to l a and gets a job making a gay documentary in the process of meeting a group of gay people while finding subjects he comes out but very s l o w l y even at minutes the film has obviously been stretched out and padded with various film school devices most of which only end up the narrative which ain't much to begin with or pointing out the overall amateurish of the film making br br which is a shame because there's a love story in here somewhere and the final three minutes when finally with a wealthy west hollywood party nicely by henderson and they share some sexy kisses it works despite all that came before but we don't really care about any of the other characters or their situations why would handsome have a for a boyfriend he wouldn't and don't even get me started on friend rules for dating no gay man i know hell no sane person period would put such on himself or others and please tell me how gets a banana which is normally fairly right stuck up his butt and has to go to a doctor to get it removed br br i noticed won an award for this film as a short it probably should have stayed that way all this said i'd look forward to seeing on screen again in a better scripted comedy with more assured direction,negative
some weeks ago at a movie theater i saw a movie poster of el 2004 with the tag the latin godfather how lame have we become i thought latin just because he is a mexican let me remind you that anything latin comes from or is related to italy so the original guy in the godfather movie is more latin than the mexican godfather and this is why we are called latin american people because we speak spanish a language based in the latin language that in rome now italy so to place a tag in a movie poster like the latin godfather is not just ignorant of course if we are trying to related this movie to the original godfather but a desperate and attempt to get some credit by the title of a movie classic now about the movie i just hate overacting so from 1 to 10 i guess is 3 the most,negative
this movie was working toward two goals to make a political point and to tell a scary adventure story it's often difficult to do make a political point and still tell a good story consider the highly political but rarely entertaining final season of ellen beyond finds a good balance between politics and storytelling br br i already knew that san had won the 1991 peace prize and knew something about the oppressive political situation in so the political message of the movie was mostly a of what i already knew but i thought the movie did a good job of telling about san and the mostly who have for years tried to silence her the device of presenting an unfamiliar setting through the eyes of a character that viewers can identify with is fairly common but it's quite well done in this movie br br of course the real measure of the movie was its entertainment value arquette was excellent as a young woman whose sister took her to a distant unfamiliar place to shake her out of her depression over the violent deaths of her husband and son she is convincingly detached and depressed her condition gives her a clear reason for her distracted into the thick of a dangerous situation she does not understand something she'd otherwise be much too intelligent to stumble into br br once the dangers become so obvious that she can see through them even through the cloud of grief she's trapped with no easy escape that sets her on a path of adventure where she needs her intelligence to survive the writers deserve much credit for making her intelligent and enough to deal with numerous dangerous situations while still finding a plausible reason for her to be foolish enough to get into trouble in the first place the directing is strong also keeping up the tension throughout the race to escape the forces of the br br this movie had additional impact on me and my wife because of other events of the same time period we were preparing for a trip to india and heard news reports of western tourists who had been taken hostage by a terrorist group in india avoiding isolated terrorists in a peaceful country is quite a different matter from escaping an oppressive but the movie and the news shared the element of avoiding danger in an unfamiliar country that common characteristic gave the movie meaning beyond the strength of its own storytelling the movie illustrates the international worst nightmare,positive
just felt like another teen oriented knock off of the i know what you did last summer trend and is painfully dull a high school who is heavily into witchcraft and black magic is accidentally killed during a cruel prank carried out by a group of bullies who secretly bury her in the woods to tell no one the next day the supposedly dead arrives at school with a completely new image and her would be killers and has a little revenge this is basically a combination of carrie the craft and every other straight to video turkey that hits the shelves these days the actors are absolutely atrocious and look about ten years too old to pass off as high there is some gore which is actually nothing all that interesting since the movie is so boring and i couldn't wait for it to end if you like modern garbage than i insist you seek this one out otherwise don't bother,negative
opera is a great film with some wonderful imaginative imagery an opera singer is being stalked by a killer who forces her to watch him murder everyone she knows by her up and under her eyes this idea of the comes from the fact that doesn't like it when people cover their eyes while watching his movies for years i've been annoyed by people covering their eyes during the moments in my films i film these images because i want people to see them and not avoid the positive confrontation of their fears by looking away so i thought to myself would it be possible to achieve this and force someone to watch most gruesome murder and make sure they can't their eyes 'the answer i came up with is the core of what opera is about says plenty of suspense wonderful cinematography and brutal gory murders one guy is stabbed in the throat with a knife causing a wound daria gets shot in the eye while looking through the etc for anyone who hasn't caught this one yet give it a try highly recommended,positive
in my opinion ruined the first show with his ridiculous ego he was to his dancing partner tried to everyone and had no awareness of the spirit of it's well he left the show colin dunne the new male lead is superb and when he and jean butler dance together magic happens is astonishing as is and maria fire dance is worth the price of admission when pages and get together near the end of the show for a musical well it's a genuine treasure i agree the editing isn't but no technical can this extraordinary tour de force this is the one to get there's never been anything like this is the real one,positive

it's a shame this movie is rated pg 13 it is really quite suitable for anyone though young kids might not follow it too well br br it belongs to that wonderful genre of comic ghost angel stories that would have to include everything from it's a wonderful life to wings of desire br br the photography is stunning the acting first rate and wonder of wonders the tone is uplifting br br my only criticism is that there is not much ambiguity in the film the two stories seem mysterious at first but they resolve themselves a little too nicely for my taste as the director points out in his commentary on the dvd all the ingredients of story are on his table the symbolism is just a too pat for me br br but what a my favorite scene has to be when the team tries to get breakfast at a diner this is practically theatrical in its magic a tour de force of witty acting subtle playful and positively coupled with striking cinematography and an eye for the grotesque br br is funny touching gorgeous to look at magical with the above and has not one single car chase br br an easy nine stars,positive

ok so i really like kris kristofferson and his usual easy going delivery of lines in his movies age has helped him with his soft spoken low energy style and he will steal a scene effortlessly but disappearance is his holy this was a bad movie br br i must give kudos to the cinematography and and the actors including kris for trying their to make sense from this goofy confusing story none of it made sense and kris probably didn't understand it either and he was just going through the motions hoping someone would come up to him and tell him what it was all about br br i don't care that everyone on this movie was doing out of love for the project or some such nonsense i've seen low budget movies that had a plot for goodness sake this had none empty of reason a complete waste of good talent scenery and celluloid br br i rented this piece of garbage for a buck and i want my money back i want my 2 hours back i invested on this grade f waste of my time don't watch this movie or waste 1 minute of your valuable time while passing through a room where it's playing or even open up the case that is holding the dvd believe me you'll thank me for the advice,negative
i am a huge amy adams fan and have been for many years i am also a big fan of musicals with that said this is not a good movie on any level it is quite dull and the acting overall is very very poor amy adams is awkward to watch act with scott g anderson due to the fact that she is in another league when it comes to acting all the performances come off as very amateur the music performances are pleasant but nothing special br br scott g anderson is just an bad actor i assumed he was put in this movie because he has a great voice but it's just not the case he has an average voice and sings on key but that's about it br br i guess i can see why amy adams did this movie with the singing element i just wish she had not i could rant about other poor elements of this movie but i'll leave it at that,negative
i'm a big fan of sleaze and horror movies when you put them together that's my sweet spot horrible sleaze you're not going to get it in this film though br br there is certainly sleaze in the form of girls being kidnapped and tortured tied naked to various things the sleaze isn't very sleazy though it didn't register very high on my sleaze mainly because none of the girls were in the least attractive nor did they attempt to act as if they were even threatened they seemed to be thinking more about what was for lunch or maybe when they could score some crack br br forget the effects they were lame in the extreme the was contributed to by the bad acting effects are harder to believe when even the actors and actresses aren't buying into them br br cinematography was pretty bad they could have hired a couple from a porn movie and done better in fact that might have raised the sleaze factor enough to make it enjoyable as it is there are a lot of dark shots where you can't see very clearly and what you can see isn't looking too good br br the horror factor is zero i've seen kids movies that were more frightening there's no camp here either it's just a movie that attempts to be shockingly sleazy but doesn't even come close,negative
this was the most unrealistic movie i ever seen br br i can't believe that the writer and director didn't see that almost all the movie looks like a sf one br br for example br br 1 it is impossible for the killer to stay on cold and after 10 hours to get up so quickly br br 2 you can't get a water like in the movie believe me it's my br br 3 with a saw you can cut 10 in 10 hour very easy let's say that the chain was made from steel but the water was rusty and it was made from iron br br 4 if you try to cut your foot with a saw you faint in the best case it's more likely to die because your hart fails before to get to the bone shin br br and there are more other examples,negative
art life art is into the d a in this tragic and suspenseful gripping documentary that plays more like a who done it and how did it happen the authenticity and sometimes reluctant honesty of the individuals make this a compelling story in many layers although racism is one of the themes there are other elements such as work integrity and with grief that have drawn me back to view and review this film again and again the music is driving but not the pacing and visuals are such that there is no the fact that these are real people going through an authentic experience,positive
i had never paid much attention to this flick until i learned that author of the brilliant network was the scriptwriter his work there had me as to his genius so when appeared on i was anxious to see it i was not disappointed looking at both this film and network it would seem that his big theme is the absurdity and sheer of large human e g networks against the of individual experience and the human spirit and all of it delivered with a knife edge sense of utterly black humor hospital is as black of a comedy as network is and the excellent cast led by the scott does his work full justice this is a keeper definitely not to miss,positive
i always had this concept that korean movies were all about comedy and drama but christmas in has changed my point of view this movie is so simple it have any melodramatic scenes or over the top comedy scenes not a single scene where the actors cry out loud not even a scene where the actor and the actress kiss not even a simple kiss and yet this movie is able to reach it's viewers in ways that i know existed the ending of the movie left me speechless i even cry but my eyes were red hot this movie left me a feeling i can hardly describe in words br br i don't think i can recommend this movie to everyone but i do recommend this movie to people who want to watch real cinema 9 4 10,positive
not everyone likes this movie it is still one of the best you have to be thinking movies about ever made the fact that it doesn't have mtv era jump cuts or gore every seven minutes is irrelevant also speaking as someone who actually knows the spoiler warning portion of the film where the exchange their old bodies for those of children it has some genuinely scary scenes the section where second spoiler alert martin the is almost hyper real in that it uses very few special effects a hallmark of this film was seldom given a big budget but was often effective it worked in this case too,positive
4 this movie was continued after the 3rd movies this one was released in the same years as 3 was released in 1991 4 takes you in space as they hunt for the humans in a space ship i doubt if there will be a 5 because the ending for the 4th was quite a good ending which brought the end to the as there was no more left i give this movie 10 out of 10,positive
two actors play rival gangsters in three films the final of which is a sci fi film that strangely to william s philip k dick and anime all at once the robots are actually called a reference to blade runner several visual to the film can be found as well and the bad guy is a psychotic gay mayor obsessed with through use of a drug for love is fleeting and homosexual love is eternal martial arts fights ensue a first for the dead or alive films the hilarious climax involves the two leads into a robot with a gigantic for a head who destruction which has been the path of both characters thus far their individual minds and later literal heads as something like the film ends with the mayor f ing his free jazz playing boy as the robot apparently tears down a wall around them the last words of the mayor oh f followed by a quick fade to black part of me felt cheated part of me confused but mostly i was just laughing a lot of the film is quite boring though the best scenes the film while the rest is far too slow takashi miike has always the sexual beneath male violence in action films and this film with the exception of this theme more than any other sex and violence are two pretty basic themes but like who the jazz may be a homage to ala naked lunch miike is able to show where the two connect to hilarious an oddly cohesive effect,positive

some critics have compared chop shop with the theatrical releases of city of god and i've seen both of those as well as chop shop and like in many instances i don't feel the comparison is city of god and surely had a much higher budget chop shop is a low budget independent film about survival and hope disappointment and continuing with life one of the scenes is allegedly filmed during the us open and either the filmmakers had incredible connections or the scene was filmed at another time and the us open footage was added i say that because i live in the area where this movie was filmed and security is insane while the matches are in progress it's also noteworthy that the actors actual names were their character's names in the movie back to the movie it's an enjoyable story about survival however it ended up getting a 7 because at times the actors acted extremely well at other times they appeared to be just their lines if the actors were less competent as they were in the low budget the big for example i would have been more but in several scenes each and every one of these actors gave performances at other times they appeared bored the director might be at fault here i also had problems with the ending this is one of those movies that just ends maybe there will be a part 2 definitely worth getting on dvd i wont bother up the story because that info is already available on imdb,positive
i am always impressed when a director and this case director screenwriter takes a piece of classical text and makes it come alive sure shakespeare's text can give you even when out with self importance but to see a production where true makes wonderful words even more so by the of context or nuance not found in the stage directions is simply awe inspiring there are many things about the play it is a racist play about racism and that still sticks i have never accepted of her father without any acceptable reason i have never accepted the position of self but brilliantly there is a text prologue which helps us understand the times and politics in which the story is set and mercifully much of part is cut br br the text is quite stripped down with many cut but i only noticed one line which was cut at the moment when i expected to hear it and it was replaced by a look that said it all this economy and editing has given us a gripping movie not just a film of the play br br and at last there is a as to why antonio is so loyal and generous to the unrelated you can almost feel pulse start to race when he catches glimpse of passing by in a or arriving for a visit but it is as subtle as that no more i was br br there were many other highlights i felt the arguments during the trial to be heartbreaking and the trials are hilarious br br add all that to glorious cinematography and costumes that with the times and you'll understand why i can't wait to see it again and again,positive
cover girl is the best musical rita hayworth ever made ms hayworth will always be remembered for however the next movie would be cover girl the story is great it is about a dancer who wants to be a cover girl and makes it big in show business she does it without the help of her talented dancer director boyfriend gene kelly mr kelly is given the chance to the musical numbers the dances are spectacular it is fun to see phil a comic do the musical numbers with ms hayworth and mr kelly br br the supporting cast is perfect lee is given a chance to be an interesting third wheel the other boyfriend,positive
i didn't have much faith at the beginning but as a citizen i can confirm that the movie shows the reality that we live day by day and shows a lot of things of our culture such as our way to speak our music our way of standing up for our rights without any fear without any weapons br br i'm really proud of the job they did and of how they didn't forget along the movie the message they wanted us to receive not caring for the money but actually working with a short budget letting us appreciate the beautiful scenarios and the great photography br br i strongly recommend seeing this movie you will not regret it,positive
simply one of the best movies ever if you won't get it sorry for you i believe that someday people will include this one in their all time top not now but in the far future,positive
if you're like me and you occasionally enjoy watching terrible movies i guess it's kind of like down at a car crash you can't do better than this the plot is inane the special effects are hilarious and the acting is some of the worst you'll ever see 4 thumbs down seriously i have no idea how the director and the actors can sleep at night it's painful and yet hysterically funny to watch and i highly recommend it for those who want to themselves for something if you can watch this crap without you're a better man than i'll ever be i wonder if the producer of this garbage had any idea what he was getting himself and his money into,negative
an interesting look at the immigrant experience told as a fable with some very weird imagery br br i got drawn to this movie because it tells of immigrants from who traveled to america i imagine much the same as my grandfather did at that time travelling in to provide for the ships i cannot imagine it was very comfortable as shown in this film br br laws immigrants existed i would guess that these laws were more strict on those who came from the and africa immigrants had to be free from or in the film we see physical and mental the latter because of the view that low intelligence is single women could not enter the country on the that they would become prostitutes so most married single men already in the country as arranged beforehand at island before entry br br this is the story of a british immigrant charlotte who to marry a poor vincenzo he is trying to get his family through with a son that is mute and a mother that is considered feeble minded she was fantastic in the role by the way br br you will also see character actor vincent in his next to the last appearance i don't know if his last film has been released he plays a and is also very good br br it was a strange but enjoyable film it's not for everyone as i imagine those who don't have some interest in the immigrant experience would find it rather slow,positive
normally i try to avoid films but this one was awesome kudos to the graphics and character voice overs it all well this enchanting tale is a great spin off of others but is well worth buying i don't have kids but the kids i including boys find it intriguing and love the extra features on the dvd i honestly don't know why this is rated so low but for kids especially your 8 year old will love this its not straight forward and like most movies are this film has excellent morals and shows it has no swearing bits of romance if your old enough to figure it out and beautifully written storyline thats why i am giving it a ten out of ten,positive
if like me you seek out the and and often most awful that world cinema has to offer then you should look no further than the supernatural horror of hong kong in the early 80s often mixing bizarre black magic with kung fu and silly comedy and usually packed with plenty of creepy snakes worms etc these movies are about as bizarre as it gets br br is definitely a case in point featuring a mountain tribe whose women keep their men from by casting nasty spells over them that should they leave cause them to fill up with creatures and die an death some so so martial arts and lots of real life animal killing much of which is by a geek who has absolutely no bearing on the story this film is just plain strange br br a prolonged scene in which the hunt for snakes and insects casually throwing the creatures into the on their backs is quite fascinating a feast that sees a poor on the head and then torn apart is totally disgusting and the moments that show worms in open wounds and being onto the floor will have the losing their for a while br br however it's the live animal that really qualifies for legendary status amongst fans of out there movie making it's thoroughly vile to watch and yet strangely compelling the geek on a snake down a fat nasty and a mouse biting off its head and then the rest in afterwards br br not a great movie hell it's not really even a mediocre movie is recommended only to people who think they've seen it all this one gets 4 out of 10 from me which is probably more than it deserves but i respect it for being able to make me feel slightly ill,negative

no i have not seen the original series and i won't compare the two if i had this series is filmed in canada in and victoria british columbia the series is well written in a different story each week some are little out there but most of the time it is the quality of the story telling i loved the episode with brown and barbara and the episode with the irresistible brent as a in a world where humans have become slaves to a lizard species it's funny how the and are our favorite evil aliens like v but anyway he has three days to program a man who is totally in serving the alien species on earth the stories are usually a little out there but very entertaining to watch,positive
im sorry to myself you know why i feel from the viewing of this movie i went to the theater with some friends to see this movie and still did not give it the satisfaction of watching it in entirety i left with about 20 minutes left hoping to god it might make me at least comfortable for a moment most movies now even this bad ones when i watch them there may be a small part in the movie where i feel some joy at times because of maybe a quirky joke or a good line this movie on the other hand made me feel uncomfortable and mad at myself the whole time especially since i wasted money on it it was poorly written poorly directed poorly shot and definitely poorly acted br br please for the good of humanity do not see this movie even if your some guy who wants to say he has seen like every movie ever just don't,negative
not like i went in expecting a lot out of it but i was at least hoping for a fun dumb big budget movie this isn't even that this item ranks in the bottom half of all the vampire movies i've ever seen and believe me i've seen a lot of them bad acting zero characterization little to no thought almost non existent plot and that that's there you can drive semi through the holes in sure it has action and is loud and has more action and more noise and blood and action these things alone do not make a good or even halfway decent movie beats me how some people can say this is the best vampire movie ever made all i can assume is they haven't seen many i suggest seeing near dark instead,negative
let me begin by saying that this remade version of one of the greatest ever created movies psycho 1960 has been nothing but a fine example of poor direction poor acting and poor cast the best way to describe this movie is by comparing it step by step acting by acting and process by process to the original br br alfred hitchcock one of the greatest movie directors ever lived had an intention to shoot the original in black and white despite the of color at that time okay people in 1960 may not have been used to bloodshed or horrifying scenes as much as we are today but that didn't prevent people from liking it and getting nominated for 4 oscars gus van had absolutely no reason to release this in color except that the year was 1998 what should have looked realistic in color did not after the shower scene norman his hands it is easily that whatever was used for blood looked like some kind of red wax once he off the blood his hand is red in color br br about acting perhaps there couldn't have been a better cast of janet leigh and anthony in the original suited well for norman and he was incredibly natural when he smiles and talks to the stranger wanted a handsome and good actor and it worked just fine in this version i personally think vince vaughn looked perfect and handsome and strong to play role unfortunately his acting was nothing less than terrible in the motel office where norman and marion have the long conversation he had zero expression on his face and his voice and face never changes throughout in the original in the same scene when the is described we can clearly see the sudden change of expression on face and he looks angry although not vince vaughn here works out the entire conversation like he's just had his lines by heart again terrible acting same is with anne in the opening scene in the original we can see how and nervous marion janet is when she drives to phoenix she was happy in getting the money but at the same time scared for life that's what i call acting in the remake has no signs of fear and she smiles for getting the money i don't think anyone would be happy and smiling when they've just stolen and the entire state police is behind them in the shower scene janet in the original grips the curtain turns around and dies after getting stabbed in the remake gets stabbed turns around then the other way has a foolish expression on her face and manages to die with great effort again terrible acting br br there are also some specially introduced changes in this movie from the original that seems to have nothing to do with the plot line and the ongoing situation in the scene where gets murdered two scenes blink in between the stabs one with a naked woman and the other with a sheep many people including myself aren't exactly sure whether the second scene showed a sheep or a cow or whatever it was what on earth does a beast or a naked woman have to do with an murder the changes were just inappropriate and unnecessary there are a couple of changes in the ending scene as well br br let me add some and the only positive points along with that i felt moore did her job well and played a good character of and william macy acted well that was almost exactly how character should have been played br br it is common man's knowledge that the purpose and intention of a movie remake is to make the present generation aware of a movie that has a good classic plot line and to try and make it look better than the original and if anything has happened here according to what i just said it is directly the opposite unfortunately many people like me weren't impressed after watching this movie unless we came to know of the existence of an unforgettable original version br br please do not watch this movie it is nowhere near the original and the original will always remain one of the best ever created movies if not the best,negative
a tedious effort from not yet great director and pretty but not yet un bland actress nina this movie is as one of the other reviewers notes is the of a certain kind of b movie it's just not the good kind and a promising premise and an fog machine is wasted br br basic plot nina a nurse on leave from wartime duties on account of her nerves has a nightmare she meets a dashing fellow at the resort where she's giving her nerves a and realizes he's in the dream even though she's never met him before meanwhile it turns out our dashing guy is working as a spy and is about to go on an extra secret mission that must not fail br br of course there are nazis and plot holes and smart people acting in a fashion most likely to get them into entirely unnecessary so that the running time can be out past an hour at the end the movie becomes a contest between which group of spies can act more if the fbi and had acted like this crew we'd have lost the war in br br the movie itself is rather shot despite the best efforts of the fog machine and the acting as it seems to be in many of the columbia tcm has been showing lately is curiously it's less stylized than what one might find from a similarly budgeted warner bros movie but also less fun to watch br br strength of course is a rather matter of fact style which allows the strong stories and acting in his randolph scott westerns to come to the maybe the problem here is that such a style is not going to work when the script is lousy and the actors tired from their five film a year schedule,negative
i've only seen about a half dozen films starring but this one seems very much like the others he plays a criminal one who is short on words and subdued yet occasionally explosive given his quiet persona in such films as army of shadows and second breath i've noticed that his style of acting is extremely effective in other words because he is so quiet and mannered when he does bad things you tend to notice and like these other films he also has a very strong though twisted moral code br br and his partner are both living in italy and are career criminals both grew up in france and eventually had to flea due to their criminal activities now in italy as the film begins they continue to live the life of thugs and the heat is on to catch them oddly instead of running to yet a third country they decide to go back to france even though has been tried and convicted in and if he's caught it could mean a life in prison or the death penalty much of the first third of the film concerns their return br br unfortunately for the return doesn't go perfectly and now it seems as if every cop in france is looking for him additionally the reaction of his old in crime is not at all what he'd expect in fact their tepid response to his return ends up a series of terrible events towards the end of the film br br along the way meets and is taken in my a stranger eric stark jean paul despite seemingly having no friends stark and his lady friend try their best to make his return successful what throws another monkey into this though is two very young sons what is to do with them keep them with him in his hiding place br br overall this is a very good crime film sort of like french film noir unlike american noir the many french versions i have seen have a more realistic as well as bleak to them supreme that's for sure the acting is first rate especially from and the direction very sure and the writing very nice though i am sure many won't like the ending it just seems to be tacked on like an i understood why they did it this way but can also see how it might leave many as for me it did leave me a tad flat otherwise an exceptional film,positive
on the surface appears to be yet another generic high school drama but surprisingly hidden away underneath is immense amounts of depth originality and that will not only render it unforgettable to the viewer but also makes it one of the best that the medium has produced in the last few years br br we see the world through the eyes of who on his first day of high school meets a girl that claims to the rest of the class she has no interest in and to top it off casually invites any aliens time or to meet up with her stares in disbelief wondering if joking or has a few loose however his gut instincts he begins talking to her in doing so it soon becomes apparent she isn't some ordinary high not to long after she creates her own named school club and drags amongst other highly unfortunate people to attend br br nothing in this anime to the usual standard conventions the protagonist is an overly cynical and contributes a witty narration to the show a far cry from the usual male leading characters that tends to the medium the episodes themselves are not and forces the viewer to think about the events unfolding and how they relate to prior instances this is a stroke of genius the effect is like a saw puzzle as a new piece is we get more of a sense of the bigger picture previous scenes are now given entire new meanings and the realization of them are profoundly satisfying this does mean however that it feels its anything but a very cleverly written script has this problem and that it flows smoothly from start to finish br br the story itself is strikingly original but i won't delve further than the simple bare bones plot outline i gave earlier as it will no doubt spoil it for you however what i will mention is the plot a vast array of genres ranging from comedy to sci fi how they managed to accomplish this in the space of episodes is beyond me and no doubt a huge achievement in itself br br is a true gem which has such diversity and depth that it will appeal to pretty much anyone with an interest in anime watch it rather unusually this is something that lives up to the enormous hype that it has received and even it,positive

this 8 minute gem is not only timeless but it is a cartoon it is third cartoon and one of his best ones too it is a cartoon because it was the first one with sound and my goodness even after 70 years it is ever so good and gives real additional weight to the narrative the black and white animation is excellent and the character features are convincing enough the music is wonderful i love the soundtrack it does add to the fun the cartoon has no matter how thin the story sometimes is and the cartoon is funny so many memorable moments like the teeth being used as an and its as a the characters are also engaging mickey and two landmark disney characters are well voiced by walt disney and pete serves well as the villain of the piece all in all willie is just a timeless gem that everybody should see at least once 10 10 cox,positive
this is an excellent movie that the issue of racism in a delicate and balanced way great performances all round but absolutely outstanding acting by sidney br br he makes this movie breathe and alive his portrayal of a guy who struggles against and violence is simply mind blowing his acting is and delicate and subtle at the same time truly worthy of an oscar had to wait because of his skin colour for many more years before the sheer brilliance of his acting was by the academy br br cassavetes turns in a great performance too troubled and realistic as it has become his hallmark he and contrast the forces of courage and human transformation through friendship br br the movie is enjoyable and at the same time deeply haunting in its portrayal of racism in the us the irony is that it somehow mirrors the realities under which had to work,positive
i heard legends about this film quotes used so as not to insult films for a while so when i finally got the dvd with it i started watching it by the end i had to fast forward through just a few of the most moronic made nonsensical scenes of this pointless childish mess to make it end br br this may be the worst film i've even touched and i used to be associated with troma for a while family makes the bottom of entries look like daring and groundbreaking art house i could go on and talk about the of a plot it has the bad acting the painful inept directing the sets and props with their dollar ninety nine look i especially loved the plastic toy guns used in the murder scene or the nauseating look and feel of this whole bag of garbage i think it was supposed to represent a drug induced i have absolutely no idea how a drug induced looks or feels nor do i want to find out but i guess drug with burned out brains will love this film they seem to be the ones who made it i've seen many films from various worst 50 lists opened by eddie ones and eddie wood would be appalled by the sheer and talentless of van or whatever his name is i certainly don't want to remember it i've never seen or its sequel but i strongly wish that joined them on rating fortunately this obscure garbage probably won't be seen by enough viewers to warrant it many 1 votes and so much the better,negative
you could tell from the opening shot of the belt in the bank that this was going to be a great film br br a touch in feel with a twist of retro this film style the brilliant camera work acting script and the manner that the secret life of the protagonist unfolds all each other in possibly making the best italian film i've ever seen up there with la del albeit different br br shame on the people sitting behind me who made it obvious that they couldn't see the relevance of the slow but painfully beautiful scenes crafted by the camera don't miss,positive
well i have not much to say about this film except that it was a truly wonderful film natalie portman is absolutely fantastic as the daughter in this lovely mother daughter relationship film br br beautiful film,positive
this film an early william has an important message particularly today it the notion that sometimes there are things more important than your own personal or well being the film which has walter huston as the lead is stolen by the performance of sales as he's the most completely drawn character in the film and a joy to watch you'll recognize some familiar faces if you watch many movies from the and your time to watch if you get the opportunity recommended,positive
everything that you need to know about the pornography of the late 70s and early 80s is all wrapped up in paul thomas boogie nights although the film is completely fictional it is actually supposedly based on the story of porno john holmes br br in southern california in 1977 eddie adams mark is working as a in a nightclub one of the regular customers is jack burt reynolds and two of his waves moore and heather graham jack and eddie meet and jack realizes that eddie is well a little gifted br br so eddie stars in jack's films under the of he becomes a big porno star no pun intended and seems to be on top of everything then comes the 80s when video film and jack's porno empire begins to collapse along with and everybody else working in the field br br boogie nights is a really well filmed drama there is a little bit of violence but p t anderson makes it more stylized and it kind of is a approach to the of pornography especially when vhs became the standard medium for making br br a lot of bizarre and unique characters are introduced william h macy has an interesting role as someone working on the films whose wife keeps having sex with everybody i especially liked don role as buck the salesman the best performance is boogie nights was definitely burt reynolds a 90s classic,positive
i rated this one better than awful because i liked seeing from buffy in something again even if it was the same role br br first the concept is kind of cute for a short but not an entire movie the writing was forced and contrived i have the feeling that the movie suffered the most during editing br br second amanda always looks like her eyes are crossed even when she's not trying to do it she's just not funny she always plays some sort of girl who by being herself ironic considering amanda seems to always be a caricature i would actually like to see her in something serious i really want to give her a chance but she is always cast in these trite roles where she and makes faces and somehow that's a good thing br br finally the whole i'm a segment was ripped off from revenge of the there was nothing in this movie that was unpredictable br br shame shame shame,negative
this movie was much better than i expected after a couple of films by will smith that weren't that great like i robot he is back to being likable and fun in this one smith plays a date doctor most of the film centers around him teaching albert how to be himself and get a date with cole a rich famous celebrity whom he works with albert is a and goof and always on his feet or what not all does is teach him how to act more cool and not be so nervous around br br during all this meets sara a whom has off men charms her so of course they go out but may teach other guys how to get the girl to fall for them he doesn't believe in love himself he has never really had a girl since he was dumped in college but he likes sara so keeps going after her friend is hurt by guy whom she thinks went to the date doctor so sara tracks the doctor down only to learn its so of course she thinks he's a pig then it's up to to explain to sara and what he does so they both end up br br final verdict good has some laughs and is entertaining i recommend it,positive
it kicks you in the stomach there are other films with more convincing characters a more realistic story and maybe even more depth concerning political but then again most of these are not directed by peter maybe the one true genius artist of british film to emerge out of the 1960s has made quite a bunch of rarely seen films that perfectly capture the spirit of the outer aesthetic world the world of political social problems and thus his work is probably less than say political which some may call a of their inherent artistic quality then again why shouldn't art allow itself to become engaged and succeeds you won't feel well with this one you won't feel happy actually you won't really like the film it is honest direct a smash in your face in short you can't help getting angry you can't resist to let the things you see touch you that is what makes films so rewarding,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 gives you more of an how act even though the castle is a great australian movie it's a bit out there this movie is by far the best aussie flick i have seen haven't seen dirty deeds yet and probably would be my favourite movie the point is if you haven't seen it go see it if a crime action comedy is your thing,positive
skilled professionals live it up in an exotic and dangerous location they get drunk every night they they drop pigs in they fly under conditions they dress weird and act they're outrageous they every rule of command and have contempt for their at the cia they're br br nope it's not only angels have wings and it's not m a s h it's an uneasy mixture of the two that unfortunately comes across as more silly than funny br br it aims at shock amusement and education but doesn't really achieve its goals br br as far as its shock value is concerned well we're by now aren't we does it really shock anyone that a bunch of hard living pilots flew secret missions in in the 1970s no it's not shocking it's not even educational now under our current circumstances when it would be interesting to learn that some was not buried in a file labeled national interest defense de that's okay so we've been up a little and are no longer neither so nor so dumb br br the problem in this case is that the film depends on those very qualities for its power to without that the film a group of shaggy drunken cia pilots are sitting around in a cat house the girls shooting out the lights with a pistol killing with same asks pilot robert downey jr when you guys act like this does it mean there's something to celebrate replies another no it means it's night time that might be funny if we expected pilots to be as as the rest of us if we don't the gag like the movie falls flat br br there are action scenes naturally everything that can possibly happen in or to an airplane in flight happens in or to an airplane in flight people fall out of them is thrown out of their fail they sustain damage from the are torn apart during crash but we've seen most of this elsewhere often done better br br some might find this funnier than i did and the acting is pretty good robert downey jr is especially effective as the straight man check out the other comments and if they describe a film that you might find appealing then by all means watch it there might be some laughs in it that escaped me,negative
from the late teens to the 1920s stan laurel was a solo act in films during this time period laurel was definitely not among the upper of talent and his humor isn't nearly as good as such as lloyd or keaton however for second short comedies he did create a decent as far as the quality of the films go they varied wildly some such as dr and mr were terrific whereas most were of average to below average in quality br br frozen hearts is an odd film like many of the films he made for hal roach and distributed by during this period the costumes were absolutely first rate and the film looked very nice however despite this and having support from the likes of james one thing they forgot to include in this film was humor none of the jokes seem to work and the film looks almost like a drama not a comedy only the really silly cards the type film it's supposed to be br br my advice is try to see all his laurel and hardy films and then see the solo films in addition to dr try seeing the and mud and sand two of his more tolerable solo shorts,negative
this was one of the biggest pieces of crap i have ever had to watch i mean seriously how would anybody else feel if they were in woody shoes and your wife was even considering it would be a good idea to sleep with the other guy even for a million bucks after all she was the one talking about it in bed and saying how it would be good for them since he can build his house or whatever with that money woody never fully agreed to it until she talked him into it how can you trust her who the hell would actually even consider that if they were married i don't care how desperate they were that's the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard in my life then he out on her apparently he had no right to her other than the fact that his wife just slept with another dude who is extremely rich and handsome oh and wait then he's supposed to apologize to her after she files for the divorce so she can be with the guy she slept with of course woody has no right to say anything to her or her especially after she still has roy card in her then at the end of the movie she's apparently so in love with woody still and misses him so much that she was not going to leave until he made some ridiculously stupid story up to try to hint to her to leave and she thanks are you kidding me was she under contract as his sex slave or something i mean what the oh and wait it gets better she kisses him before she gets out of the car she's not a whore oh thank you for letting me go let me go make out with you one last time for good sake even though i'm still married to a guy i left for a rich guy i have never seen such a piece of crap in my life how the hell are we supposed to feel good after that horrible ending what was this movie supposed to represent nothing came out of this this was the most pointless movie i have ever seen in my life two pathetic desperate people if i were woody i would tell her to go herself in that body of water they were near apparently he had no self respect what the hell was roy thinking by taking this horrible role i feel like after watching this this movie was so bad it was seriously laughable i want those two hours of my life back that i wasted watching this piece of,negative
sequels are a lot with most nowhere near the stature of the original sometimes you find a sequel that is considered better than the original some critics such as john charles have stated that project is better than the original i disagree somewhat but this movie is still a worthwhile follow up and fits well in the of brilliant hong kong action cinema in the 1980s as well as own i do wonder how with such an awesome release of great films that his later films were not as good he only has directed two films in the 1990s and none past that but he has had much in many of the films where he is not officially the director br br earlier in 1987 jackie had brain surgery following a disastrous fall in the filming of of god this encouraged him to work on his next film close to home this did not encourage him to stop his life and his stunt team for our amusement what resulted is a smash hit at home that the original in box office million hk dollars compared to 19 million for the original br br jackie chan is once again police officer dragon ma and he is ordered to work with three wan royal warriors who is the only chinese police officer allowed to have a gun yet is thought to be staging to make himself look better and ignoring the crimes of a lord named tiger michael chan man dragon lord apparently has too much power to be taken down directly but he is of the wan district now he is two wan which dragon ma takes over this and corrupt office will soon get a and there is a great scene where three officers who do not know who they are dealing with attempt to assault ma to teach him a lesson about complaining about police officers he soon has that district ship shape and tiger taken care of the fight choreography and stunts with tiger and his men are quite awesome my favorite stunt was a beautifully brutal fall from the second floor into a large and that did not appear to be soft br br meanwhile a couple of subplots are happening there are pirates who have survived from the first film who are looking for revenge and food then there are including maggie maggie cheung in the mood for love and casino who are trying to raise for dr sun to the government as well as government who are trying to find these rebels throw in a mixture of corrupt hong kong and british cops as well as legitimate ones and you have a that is getting a bit too many ingredients but yet still seems to this works well when there is a marx brothers influenced scene the marx brothers have done this type of scene a few times with the being the first at place where everyone is looking for someone while hiding from someone else many weeks were spent on this scene alone and the effort certainly shows br br there are several faults with the film there is a certain nature that creeps in the film that seems a bit out of place – especially one small speech towards the end that jackie gives when dealing with the and the extremely easy of the pirates that survived from the first film female characters are once again underused and under appreciated especially maggie cheung i was not as satisfied with the of the plot as much as the first film either the individual scenes dominate my feelings for the film instead of thinking of this movie as a cohesive whole i do not fault the film for not being able to have sammo hung and like the first though i have heard the main reason behind this was that those two were filming eastern but i do wonder if jackie could have waited a small while to get them to perform in this – they would work together for the last time the following year in dragons forever but they are missed br br i found this to be quite an enjoyable and well made film and it is rightfully regarded as one of the better comedic action films of the 1980s this film is also quite good in a few unexpected places the art direction is superb eddie ma the costumes are exquisite the cinematography is good and the movie looks quite authentic but the stunts comedy and the action is what i remember this film for there is a chase involving a dragon and that is superb part of the axe throwing scene would be used in shanghai the last twenty minutes is full of awe inspiring hits falls as a mouth jackie writes in his autobiography about how he used real in this scene you can see him in a lot of mouth pain during the at the end and is a worthy conclusion to this movie the most famous stunt from this sequence is his homage to buster keaton from bill jr with the exception that there is no hole and only a weak section where his head pops through br br fans of jackie and or hong kong action cinema should consider this a must own and watch i certainly do,positive
this may just be the worst movie of all time never have i seen such horrible film making before in my life its so bad i think i want to go watch barney instead i advise everyone who reads this to write a to get this movie off of our film history so we can never hear from it again i give it 1 out of 10,negative

i had looked forward to viewing this movie it seemed anyone who had seen it loved it i was completely disappointed the acting was so overdone the script seemed like the writer had gathered 25 different scripts from various movies and randomly chose dialogue and them together to form one script br br spoilers was any cliche in this movie there was a hit homosexuality prostitution a serial killer a fire numerous godfather the main character in love with the prostitute cross dressing torture by the police style i could go on and on br br like the godfather wannabe to the prostitute br br ben i don't want u to work anymore br br ben kim who would pay the rent if i didn't work br br unrealistic scenes we never saw a single policeman during the serial killer scenes yet when the main character disappeared his father was taken in by the police and tortured for weeks br br the only way i can make sense out of this whole movie is if the version i had scene was severely edited from the original i definitely do not recommend it and would greatly enjoy discussing it further with anyone who would care to do so br br,negative
i will start by saying i have always been a bonnie hunt fan she always adds life to any character she plays and she did a wonderful job in her directorial debut br br i have to admit this is a chick flick but keeping that in mind it is a wonderful story it touches on many emotions and all sorts of reactions br br this film depicts real life like people with real life like situations tho i have to the coincidence that is the major part of the film br br it's a love story not just of a man and a woman but the love of family friends and loved ones past even pets br br i really enjoyed it well worth the rental or the purchase,positive
the problem with this and with all vietnam war films is that they're all too biased films overlook the fact that the vast majority of u s soldiers were heroes while films overlook the fact that a lot of the soldiers did indeed commit atrocities like the one in this movie this film sucks it's time for a movie that is neither nor nor liberal nor conservative but completely,negative
it's strange what fate does to some people while looking in the bin at a dvd i came across a copy of deadly instincts being a collector of any film that is either sci fi horror or featuring alien monsters i decided to buy it not to mention the fact that it cost five dollars – a bargain believe me after viewing it i came to the opinion that it was nothing special but after doing some research on the internet i discovered that the film was actually called was a remake of the tim horror flick that video stores in the mid 1980s which i've already seen my appreciation of deadly instincts grew following that discovery br br a crashes on the lawn next to a private girls' college the sole teacher there ashley played by todd – that's right the guy who gets turned into a cyborg in the cult flick cyborg cop four years earlier notices that some of the students are beginning to disappear while a black haired woman with a face wearing a kinky leather outfit his investigation reveals that an alien creature had a ride on the had come to earth to breed using the local along with a local detective who believes him to be responsible for the ashley tries to stop the monster br br the original directed by tim who would leave the genre to make gay porn was a sci fi horror film which was actually a soft core porn film designed to take skin flicks to genre fans it is in my belief one of the worst films made in the 1980s why anyone would want to remake it is quite a mystery br br this remake is actually a better effort than its low budget source the film which takes the basic concept of an alien monster trying to with human women any pornographic elements in fact the film is actually very tame there are no sex scenes no nudity even during the shower scene swearing violence are kept to a minimal level there is no gore which may cheat this makes the remake a film safe for the whole family that is if the kids aren't scared by alien monsters which brings me to the film's m 15 rating which seems a bit much br br of subject matter aside the film does have some faults the script while featuring some good characterizations has a number of holes so big you can crash a meteor through br br what you're mad at me for that come on this review needed a bad pun so it will remain interesting br br anyway the film's setting is one problem the script failed to fix – the film is set in boston but the buildings don't look like they belong in boston something about the architecture ain't right another thing is the college itself with a rather large building about twenty students all female of course only having one class – art the only teacher there has a relationship with a student so does the janitor which somehow escapes the attention of the principal not to mention the cops who are so one dimensional stupid that the real boston would have a good case if they ever decided to sue oh the well the chance that a meteor which is sent from check the opening credits reaches earth with no is that doesn't include the chances that any passengers in the meteor will survive the landing br br as far as the acting goes todd gives a performance as the heroic teacher while the late simmons who was murdered by her boyfriend shortly before the film came out cuts a striking figure in that leather outfit as well as proving she can act the visual effects are run of the mill with credits due to the filmmakers for bringing us a cool looking monster,negative
william h macy always gives a good performance he never looks lazy and never seems like he'd rather be somewhere else in short he's what more actors should be like a slight case of murder is directed by steven who went on to do two more great films with macy door to door the cap br br television movies have long been a dump of overdone acting poor cinematography and sub par scripting that's why it's so refreshing to see a tv movie that does exactly what it's sort of film was created for to tell a small story not a simplistic story that does not require viewing on the big screen br br a slight case of murder is light entertaining fare and an great watch br br 7 6 out of 10,positive
being a huge fan of bergman i had to search literally years to find this movie at a price less than 60 i mean and finally bought it a few weeks ago the basic premise of films are the relationships between the characters and how they deal with trying situations this film therefore is the same yet it is different because the setting is far different than most of the bergman films the i have seen br br it is set in wartime and the are caught in the middle br br it is riveting from start to finish and it once again proves that is one of the best actresses of the 20th century a must see,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
after seeing the film version of heart of darkness i feel as if i wasted 100 minutes of my life though the book was not my favorite i was very disappointed to see how poorly nicolas portrayed the story despite the fact that he left out many bits of important information the cast just did not seem to fit their roles and the whole film seemed vastly the book depicts vivid scenery and detail that are completely in the movie br br you'd think a director would be able to fit pages of a book into a film of at least an hour and a half the differences completely changed the story for me for example when the character of fiancée is to the fact that has died it completely the ending the book had given not to mention the sets and scenery used in the film were not nearly as beautiful as they were described it sincerely feels as if was filming another story with references from heart of darkness in it br br if you watch the movie without knowing the title or expecting it to be anything like joseph tale you may find it good though i thought the camera work was poor and the cast it is a captivating story all the same however if you are looking for a good movie version of the famous classic story don't look for it in film,negative
did you ever think like after watching a horror movie with a group of friends wow this is so cool we have got to make a splatter horror movie ourselves some day soon i bet it isn't as difficult as it seems well this must have been what went through the minds of the young campbell brothers back in 2003 presumably right after watching sam the evil dead or a similar independent horror classic this demon summer however is so bad it's embarrassing these young amateurish filmmakers obviously worship the horror genre and know their classics but that nearly doesn't make them talented i've seen quite a lot lousy b movies in my years as a horror fanatic but this honestly ranks as one of the biggest pieces of crap ever made and it's quite sad to be this open hearted because the whole cast and crew clearly had good intentions there's pretty much no script at all a duo of thugs simply steals a mysterious book from a bum and whilst reading some of it one of them into a hideous demon that starts killing off members of all the different teenager groups hot catholic girls and that's about it except of course for all the obligatory clichés like the hot girl falling for the biggest etc etc the performances are really painful to listen to and none of these annoying teenagers use they just stand there until the script says it's their turn to interact i hate that some of make up effects are remotely decent but still not spectacular and the soundtrack contains some of the most awful punk songs ever this film should never have been released i can very well imagine that it must have been fun to be a part of the production but it's utterly and doesn't feature the slightest redeeming element not even a bit of amateur nudity damned,negative
i agree with all the comments posted so far this movie was a waste of time and energy for viewers as well as those who made it terrible cgi awful script stupid plot and hey the setting is but it looks like california but the worst thing has got to be the native american angle on this which pulls in every stereotype you can think of from the chief surrounded by smoke the angry warrior people speaking without using do not do this thing native american playing in thin air etc it just shows such a lack of respect and understanding that i was out my hair a native american with any ounce of self respect would have tossed their tv out the window at this trash so in closing i'd say this movie is pretty much an offense to everyone,negative
the digital effects were done on the cheap and the action sequences lack suspense this was essentially made for tv and it shows david looks bored and looks down right embarrassed and as for robert dick van dyke london accent no comment if you want to pass away an hour or two when you've nothing on then it will do if your going to buy the dvd wait a few weeks and pick it up in the bargain bin at thats where its heading if the budget was bigger and richard book followed more closely then it could have been something special but as it stands its a bit poor watch the trailer instead or read the book and see what could have been,negative
to sum it all up skip end of days and watch rent roman the gate instead this movie is the perfect stereotypical american movie vs gate being the perfect stereotypical european movie br br gate noir ish intelligent nicely scored atmospheric excellent acting johnny beautiful scenery good cinematography funny one liners intellectual minimal foul language thought provoking the only fault is it that a few people didn't understand the open ended ending and said the movie was crappy because of that and there were a couple of questionable scenes br br end of days overly violent liberal use of foul language no musical score except for a poor attempt at a commercial soundtrack that was only heard when gabriel stalked around nyc as satan but all you could pick out was jonathan davis screaming sex that had nothing to do with the plot violence incredibly predictable violence and did i mention lots more violence i guess some of the special effects were good but that's about it br br well maybe i'm wrong but i thought gate was far more interesting quirky original and intelligent but maybe americans don't need need that dripping with cynicism even though i am an american sometimes i wonder,negative
i remember when i first heard about jack frost i was in video at miranda with my family on a video hiring tradition it was at this time that i worked up the courage to venture over towards the horror section of the store the various titles i finally came across jack frost the cover was enough to convince me that the film was beyond my viewing pleasures years later the film disappeared only to be replaced with the inevitable yet unnecessary sequel i once again to the horror section and picked up the case only to come to one conclusion the film would be but not intentionally br br jack frost 2 revenge of the killer mutant snowman quite a title follows off where it's predecessor left it sheriff sam is seeking after his and jack is now in the form of anti freeze to escape his past sam and his wife head to an island hotel where he is in the company of a wide variety of slasher film stereotypes including female models thick headed sports and staff however jack is released from his grave and is back to his icy methods he heads over to the island and proceeds to kill anyone that would prove to have an awesome death only sam can stop him br br let me just say that this is a straight to video film so it's bound to be bad but this is terrible even in the eyes of other over the top films the camera work is poor using a camera that would make a soap opera look half the actors look like they've come out of a porn shoot and the other half look like they've come out of a retirement home but in actual fact they've actually come out of an asylum there is an extensive use of special effects used in the film which tends to alternate between bland and cgi that can be by an and the death scenes are mostly off screen showing us little of what has happened to the hapless yet deserving victims but the film is most memorable for it's killer one liners such as there's something that needs a little christmas and i know you officially f ing dead ultimately the whole purpose behind a film like this is to make a popcorn flick for those friday nights of boredom and even it fails at that to make a sequel to a film that was a poor slasher with a concept that a child would find unbelievable must've taken some nerves of or a total frontal to director michael thanks for wasting my time to everyone avoid like,negative
beautiful that one word pretty much sums up this whole film everything from the cinematography the directing the acting brilliant at any point of the film you can pause it and you will no doubt be looking at something or artsy as some people would say i assure you that after one viewing will be stuck in your head i know this from first hand experience even the soundtrack is great it goes together very well with the tone and pace of the film be thankful that archer exists in this world we need more people like him to make films that show love and shame in totally real and surreal imagery,positive
no one in this movie has very much to do this is probably the longest minutes i've ever spent watching a movie the makeup effects on the with are pretty good but that's the only thing that keeps this from being rate a 1 the doctor's assistant goes through extreme mood from to in seconds and then seems to forget where she was in the next scene the director assembled a lot of the right ingredients for a mad doctor movie but somehow forgot the of a story to hang them on unless you know someone in the cast or crew i wouldn't recommend even this one,negative
the movie started off o k a couple of tourists on vacation in mexico having a good time decide they should go on a they some hidden and end up and this huge temple like angry villagers show up and try to them from climbing it but because of the language people get shot and the tourists end up climbing the stupid thing turns out the plants are evil blood things that the villagers won't go near so they guard the temple so the tourists can't get off there are a couple of scares in this movie but nothing really makes sense i mean they're plants don't bother buying or renting the d v d wait till it comes out on cable,negative
this was recommended to me by a friend that said it was cute and for a lesbian sexuality flick boy was he wrong i guess he just didn't get it growing up not understanding and then discovering yourself thru trial and is more like it br br the characters are full and vibrant and the story has enough fun thrown in thru the theater performances to keep anyone interested br br as goes thru so many tries at finding the love she desires only to find it was the one person she was scared to reveal all too and ran out on may as was remarkable spent a couple hours trying to recall where i've seen her before only to discover she was the quiet sister alice in last of the luckily i was raised in a liberal family and had no issues with trying a movie like this so many people are missing out on flicks like this i'm glad i took my friend's advise and tried it but i'm sure i enjoyed it more the he,positive

i have seen many possibly too many straight to video no budget slasher films and have developed a taste for the good ones or the ones that are less as ridiculous as that sounds dr is what i kindly like to refer to as absolute crap nothing about it is enjoyable the acting sucks the characters suck the killer sucks the gore is minimal and sucks it is about a group of college friends who drive out to a newly discovered family cabin owned by the parents of one of the kids it is meant to be a relaxing but little do they know that a ill former plastic surgeon gone bad along with his two female search for to save the doctor his name is dr since he rides around on a motorcycle and of course chops this is just a terrible movie not worthy of anyone's time enough said,negative

the of four seasons is a film about a lack of love the film starts off with the main character hans returning from a spell in the foreign legion he returns to his mother not to be told how much she loves him or how much she's missed him but to be told that he is worthless and even worse that she would have preferred the man he went with to have come back instead it is the character's relation to women that makes this film so hateful the fact that his wife is than him is symbolic of his relation to the other gender he is consistently by them and it is through his relations with them that his life isn't as great as it could have been this is also shown clearly by the way he treats his wife after a drink he lost his job as a policeman through lust for a woman and even his wife a woman that is supposed to love him never really shows any affection for him even at the end his wife is more bothered about what her and her daughter will do than the state of her husband br br the of four seasons is a thoroughly unpleasant film there isn't a scene in the movie where someone is happy and not only that but the movie seems to in the misery of it's central characters the movie is certainly not recommended to anyone who is currently having a hard time that's for sure despite all the misery the film never steps out the of reality every event in this movie can and most probably has happened and that only serves in making the movie more shocking the film is of course by rainer fassbinder the cult german director that committed suicide in 1982 this is only my second taste of the man's work but through just two films it is easy to get an idea of the type of art that he creates both films are and gritty yet realistic pieces of art his characterization in this movie is subtle we only ever get to know the characters through their and not through their character this is a very clever way of showing the audience that it is their surroundings that define the people in the film not the people themselves and as nearly everyone that sees the film knows what living in an urban society is like it wont difficult for the majority of people to relate to br br the of four seasons is not a film that is easily forgettable the movie is high on substance and low on style and that makes for a very memorable picture and one that everyone who considers themselves to be a fan of cinema should experience it is with that in my mind that i give this film my highest it's not sweet and it's not pleasant but you will not see a more realistic portrayal of depression and this is most certainly a movie that will stay with you,positive

well i like to watch bad horror b movies cause i think it's interesting to see stupidity and of creators to shoot seriously good movie i always compare this movies to for example some spielberg's works and again and again don't understand the huge difference in what i see i like ed movies cause it's so inept it's very funny but people the chilling is not funny and is not even interesting it's extremely boring horror movie without anything what makes even bad movies watchable there's no acting no screenplay no direction no thrills and not even blood it's extremely inept amateurish film it's definitely the worst movie i had ever seen and i had seen a lot of worst movies believe me i warned you 1 10,negative
angel a is a change of pace for and rather mediocre it is well photographed on location in paris although readers should note quick fire dialogue and good cinematography may make for frustrating viewing br br this film is no wings of desire or wonderful life despite its shared themes heavenly suicide angel mortal relationships ensue does nothing to or inspire us even the well acted moments rapidly into toe sentimentality br br the film's flawed ideology an angel whose message of love and respect for self is constantly by her own violent and behaviour a happy ending which the hero's supposed journey from to self and independence br br verdict quite nice to look at but confused moral and philosophical messages the film precisely where it should shine 4 10,negative
something not so great silence of the remains only good film and i'm of course including all the overrated left wing in big screen some of which i haven't seen and never will br br this is a light comedy that takes a thriller turn somewhere half way the first half is a little hard to sit through it's neither funny nor particularly interesting daniels plays an over the top dumb as dirt naive moron who is so and that it defies belief his animated acting is often annoying and barely funny he actually lies to griffith at the outset and tells her that he is married with children when in fact he is divorced in all the history of mankind and movies any man who is married and meets a woman he likes will lie if he lies and say that he isn't married later on the not at all credible or believable behind this was revealed he wanted to protect himself what a load of crap the fact that his character makes all the wrong decisions and does all the dumb things in the movie made me actually look forward to liotta on him when he caught up with him in the apartment br br what then happens in apartment is the classic end of movie fight to the death which the good guy albeit the very dumb good guy predictably wins still at least the last half hour has some action something going on and daniels isn't given any more the opportunity to be animated the film lacks credible characters whether main or and the feel of it is too 80s which means the movie has a rather bland look visually ugly yet again makes a cameo as a policeman the film is also perhaps a bit too heavy on the side griffith once again plays a soft talking dumb sounding bimbo but as usual she is convincing because she is a soft talking dumb sounding bimbo this was an earlier film before her lip and breast surgery compare the natural breasts she exposes in this film to the ready to explode she briefly flashes years later in fool br br if you're interested in reading my of griffith and other hollywood contact me by e mail,negative
i saw it last night and i was laughing out loud for the whole second half of the movie the whole audience was bruce campbell has made a damn funny movie i don't want to give anything away but when the film turns and gets wacky it gets really wacky just one funny scene after another my hats of to mr campbell and crew for pulling this off on such a tiny budget bruce was there to introduce the film and do a q and a which was a treat a lot of the questions people were asking were pretty lame but bruce would turn it around on them and be all sarcastic he was great anyway loved the film i'll be looking forward to seeing this on dvd later this year b sure to check it out on the sci fi channel this fall i highly recommend this one,positive

i'm a big fan of art but this film by with some ideas from left me cold had a life long grudge against the catholic church and delighted in trying to offend in fairly silly ways this is one of the almost like what you'd expect from a smart 18 year old in film class the last few minutes of the movie which have nothing to do with anything else are a final nose at religion br br if you read the regarding this slow paced occasionally amusing film it's all about how the church and society are guilty of sexual if that is indeed the point then expresses it in the most fashion possible the central male character is a nasty who loves kicking dogs and knocking blind men down in the street and who mentally turns ads into strange sexual fantasies is this behavior the fault for his or is he just a jerk i vote for the latter i think must have had a lot of personal and chose the as the ones to blame br br there are a few moments where you might cry a cow in a bed a falling out a window a poor model a man a a woman a toilet while we watch pictures of or a mud pit hard to tell in b w the rest is forgettable self unfortunately was still chasing the same men through the rest of his career charm if you're interested in seeing on the screen check out jean early work,negative
i first saw this film accidentally when they showed it on tv and i was up far too late i really out there though it's truly incredible from the location as isolated as it's possible to be on this planet it made the look like et in the swimming pool through the interesting characters keith david is especially good as the what if we're wrong about him then we're wrong and the effects more than alien br br moreover however the real tension and fear in the film has nothing to do with the effects it's the people you start being scared of knowing that one of them may or may not be all they appear to be it's certainly got the feel of who goes there br br the soundtrack is great it really plays up the isolation fear and gravity of the situation br br finally the scene really really cuts even more than the but then again who does punchline of enough said,positive
this is not a movie that i would typically watch at 2 30 in the morning but i got into it and couldn't stop until it was over br br demonstrated that he is not just a young actor here but could handle more demanding roles the fact that he has been handed those roles in the last two years is testament to his ability br br it was really his movie sure there were others involved but they pale in comparison to his role br br this was a time when gold was reserved for the this victory opened it up to the masses much the way that tiger woods has opened golf to all races br br like harry stephen said to lord peter if mr wins tomorrow it's because he's the best because of who he is not who his father was not how much money he's got because of who he bloody is and i'll thank you to remember that go get charged up,positive
being a 90's child i truly enjoyed this show and i can proudly say that i enjoyed it big time and even more than the classical wb cartoons br br i don't know why early 90's cartoons had something special i don't know if it was the atmosphere a change whatever but tiny kept the 90's vibe and delivered one of the most popular funny and underrated cartoons ever created br br the memories are murky but i can only say that i enjoyed every single episode and product related to the show easily none other cartoon made me laugh in a tender way before getting into dark sitcoms oriented for teenagers br br the characters were all funny and had the of not having a true lead character every single character was hilarious and deserved to be called a lead,positive
this movie takes the plot behind the sci fi flick an astronaut from our earth crashing on a on the opposite side of the sun and the cold war on that world and tries to turn it into a pilot for a tv series however the whole thing without a trace and tv is probably better off for it br br everyone here is perfectly adequate in a for way cameron mitchell turns in his usual solid performance so does glenn corbett who seems to be a kind of poor man's john who plays the rugged whose very existence poses a threat to the foundation of the on counter earth br br but the low budget and low energy and inconsistent script and the lack of any real imagination in the set designs and cinematography keep this sci fi adventure firmly on the launch pad br br i'll give one example in the original for this pilot the lose control of their landing vehicle in a and crash their ship in a truly appalling sequence it was obvious that their ship was never going to fly again then the two from the smoking remains of their vehicle in the middle of howling and winds only to be down and overcome by men yelling through br br in stranded in space the are sitting in their seats when sound things start shaking and the camera into a and as a friend pointed out it was pretty obvious that the actors were simply shaking themselves on their seats the director wasn't even shaking the camera or the set i've seen episodes of the twilight zone and the outer limits that took more effort to establish mood and setting than this made for tv mediocrity br br and that in essence is what's wrong with stranded in space no budget no time no imagination just making the token gestures and hoping the sci fi fan imagination and enthusiasm will fill in the rest sorry guys it didn't work br br i'm sure that everyone here just finished their work on this one and walked away and never thought of it again except as a listing on their c v and that's what you the viewer will do you'll remember if pressed that you once watched a tv movie called stranded in space but it made no lasting impression on you and you can't recall too much about it,negative

man i never laugh so much this year and it's pretty hard to make me laugh while i expected some hostel style movie the smile came to my face even from the beginning this film inside film shows a female stabbed victim messing the whole set until she finally die her overacting drive the director nuts and his funny reaction tell us the viewers that mute witness is not a typically horror movie br br the main character the mute american make up artist billy hughes is played by the beautiful yet talented russian actress her performance is top notch her character can't speak so the body language and the emotions on her face must compensate and oh boy she did a wonderful job her sister fay is the girlfriend or the fiancée or the wife of the in film director richards they were both very funny most of the time i won't spoil more but the scenes following the moment with them two the fake policemen and later the angry neighbor were plain brilliant black comedy br br the plot get twisted near the end possibly misleading at one particular moment but don't worry such a delicious movie can be viewed in family or with your boy girl friend,positive
is this movie as bad as some claim in my opinion yes it is i wasn't going to comment noting that quite a few comments have already been made ranging from to not nearly so bad ' however i can't resist br br what do you make of a movie that has on the dvd cover the phrase the real story of ma barker and her boys and the standard any similarity to actual persons in the credits i'm not naive but in this case it's a pretty relevant observation regarding this movie br br several comments knock the performances they are pretty awful roberts russell and stallone have something like movies and tv shows listed between them they can act or at least perform br br however the dialog is not to my taste and quite unintentionally funny at times the story didn't seem to be anything but the minimum required to string specific scenes of violence and melodrama together br br direction and screen writing has to be after seeing ma violent temper and finishes with take the girl what ever you think of acting abilities some screenwriter wrote that line or reaction and or some director shot it and said that's good enough no need to that that's credible ' one i did pick up my copy for 1 99 or 2 99 in a story bin the running time is shown as mins and i note that the running time is listed on imdb as 95 mins i don't know what 4 minutes i'm missing but i acknowledge that if those 4 minutes were of the right sort of person in the right sort of situation my rating might to 3 or 4 out of 10 as i saw it 1 10 is what i must vote,negative
this movie had an interesting enough plot about and usage but it fails as the lead actor is so annoying and whiny you want him dead not that anyone else is very good in it either but when you hate the character that is supposed to be your sympathy the movie just fails to work funny enough it looks like a movie is coming out in the near future that has a plot that mirrors this one with more action and a better cast still though i won't be able to think of anything else but this film if i were to watch it this movie has a super dumb clone that is somehow smart enough to figure something is wrong with his camp where people at one mile per hour and for no reason the tell them that when they are ready they go to america but our hero has his doubts so he around and learns the awful truth which sends him on the run from the bad guys who shoot and hit the guy repeatedly he goes on the look out for the man he was from peter graves is in it and so is dick but they add nothing to this movie which looks like something that was made for television on the plus side though when the island comes out the makers of this film can proudly say we thought of it first,negative
the animation is great i'll to that but disney every stereotype we have been trying to overcome for the last two generations and the names i mean come on cheesy of those are real places where real people live and the real people these real places were named for are probably struggling out of the earth seeking vengeance over this trite little flick disney you're based out of california florida right amidst the rest of the states that still treat us like a foreign country if you can't stick to what you know at least hire and or work with people who know what area you're trying to maybe then it wouldn't be so insulting,negative

comedy works best when it relates to stuff that's true but even as such some effort is required to make jokes that everyone likes and even the most grumpy of viewers can crack a smile when i look at the daily show i see the whole it's funny because it's true thing but i don't however see the effort and often times i don't if they're being funny or just trying to make a point i notice this mostly in the interview segments the daily show started off as a news parody by definition they poke fun at how the media plays it's own news by pretending to be inept and dumb news and and they tons of subjects from science to movies and sometimes politics then jon stewart came along and it all went to hell first years of jon stewart's reign were arguably golden i though he was so funny but then 2004 came along and it's where you start to notice a huge chance in the show from there on the show's humor has gone stale left steve carell left many of the show's best anchors left and now it's mostly about jon stewart and the show's gone from a parody to a semi serious news show essentially evening news but with some gags here and there for those who haven't seen the show and are having trouble finding out what to watch on cable i'll give you a brief description of what the show's about at least until 2009 bush and all unless they happen to embrace an opinion shared by as well are stupid evil corrupt and anyone who stands by conservative beliefs is also evil corrupt and a people who doubt the man made global warming theory are evil and stupid vote there i saved you 25 minutes of your time go watch something else at first i though that the producers the show for their own personal political agenda but when i actually see the interviews it becomes crystal clear what this show's about what i mentioned above but i'll get to that in a moment off the humor in the daily show according to jon stewart expects you to find a random filmed quote said by either bush or a random humorous because well because jon sets up the joke setting it in writers specific context and expects that the random quote somehow delivers the punchline so unless you the context it's entirely useless as humor also the daily show expects you to laugh when they show a montage of one politician talking and in another separate video saying another thing again putting into a context that the writers expect you to understand thus making it funny why well because jon said so now imagine the daily show using that formula countless times for years every week and you'll start to understand of what used to be a laugh fest that is now 25 minutes of just silent stares yes even in the lewis black segments at first some decent amount of effort was put into these jokes but now much less of that is apparent and the interview have the most odd sense of bias that i've ever seen jon stewart calls bill a bully but what does that make him when he sucks up to every single actor and john before today that appears on the show and looks down upon respected and accomplished conservative such as weekly own bill he puts them in some sort of people's as if they're being charged with a crime often times any person on the show who stands up for bush is portrayed as as if that person's out of touch with reality and assumes he speaks for the majority of america that's the de treatment for anybody conservative unless they happen to share a similar point of view with if so it's an endless love fest but still it doesn't matter in the eyes of jon you are already wrong before you walked into the show and are still wrong that's the kind of treatment you get if you are anything remotely right wing now you have to wonder what that could possibly have anything to do with humor one wonders happen if win the white house,negative

this is a movie from toilet pictures if the name of the production company is any indication how a movie is then this would be it i think i'm not really a fan of horror movies not that i'm chicken but rather this year alone i haven't been genuinely by what's on offer so far be it from the west or from asia 9 is no different great premise but poor execution relying on clichéd techniques i think these are the only tools of the trade available to try and some heart moments br br se so young is a lonely career woman who one day notices that some apartments in the block of opposite hers simultaneously at precisely 9 everyday no she's no but a series of unexplained deaths in the including one which she encounters herself on a subway start to draw her deeper and deeper into the mystery surrounding these deaths br br with horror movies there's always a pseudo logical explanation within the movie about how the come about that's just about the most interesting thing that happens in the film the of the truth although it won't take seasoned film lovers to guess the plot halfway through which of course makes it a very unsatisfying experience watching this movie br br there's a of characters like the wheelchair bound girl and the who take turns to care for her as well as a detective a mentally challenged boy and a spooky train but following genre formula these folks are there usually as fodder for deaths or in this case pointless red characters whose sole aim by the filmmakers is to the audience if they or add little to forward the plot br br and don't get me started on the techniques employed here quick cuts sudden appearances long hair so who can't move properly amount of blood like it flows down a mountain for free and the list goes on but credit to the sound for creating some ear bone sounds used each time the move though it seems like a one trick br br don't waste time on this even if you're a horror fan it's a complete waste of a promising premise and in the end you feel like you've just be taken on a ride a very long and painful one to endure it's high time for some in this genre otherwise one film will easily look like another with ugly long haired monsters moving funny but with the ability to make sudden appearances accompanied by loud sounds oh and can someone oil those doors while they're at it as well,negative

i was looking forward to this based on the reviews on this and the fairly good rating this was a big disappointment this doesn't hold a candle to contemporary zombie flicks like shaun of the dead day of the dead land of the dead etc horror flicks sometimes take a while to get going you have to build up the characters so when they snuff it you feel some empathy etc but even so there's a full 45 minutes to sit through here even before you a corpse up to that point its like watching a bad soap opera nothing of any interest or relevance happens and if you are going to watch this for the first time you can honestly start watching after 45 minutes you won't miss anything plot wise when things do get going its all very sub par stuff some of the kills and make up are done well others are done very poorly is lacking here and there are some really shocking continuity errors and some of the most wooden acting i've ever seen br br this could all be passable if you really believed this was all taking place on a plane but with guns being fired being let off no pilots in the in a violent storm yet the plane stays in the air c'mon we're not all br br oh and does it really take a whole minute for a fighter missile to hit a plane that is a few hundred away i know its a zombie film and you have to stretch things but this film along with the other main listed above had zero credibility one to miss,negative

considering the appalling track record of mick since going out on his own i had rather low expectations of even the posters for the movie had me nervous in fact if it wasn't for the fact that i'd received free tickets to the preview i would have the pressure from the who thinks a hunk there's a worry to pay money for it br br the first few minutes of the movie had me worried it starts with one of tired get angry at insignificant things routines but that was given a neat touch which at least made it a little refreshing the rest of the script was pretty good and very light hearted even the typical mick and lucy humour was delivered well and whilst i never had to pick myself up from the it generated a lot more chuckles that i was expecting and it was br br there's nothing new in the plot pretty predictable but it moved along quickly between one liners and other jokes i never felt it on any element too long or too short mick must have worked hard on his script there were a one or two late show in jokes and one or two jokes that only would get but certainly there's plenty of generic stuff in there for a wider audience br br something that i found disappointing was the relative of john clarke he just didn't seem to work as the bad guy but that doesn't detract from the movie too much br br over all i enjoyed this comedy and was pleasantly entertained for the duration of the movie i left the cinema with a decent sized grin a pretty hard thing for an australian comedy to do in my books 7 5 10 br br,positive

the second film about the adventures of the pair is 10 times better than the first the humor is great and and the script is well executed taken from the original 1965 comic book by i fell asleep with the first film although i am a great fan of and was reluctant to see this sequel but i am glad this movie proved me wrong excellent comedy for everyone highly recommended,positive
after seeing the movie in a class of mine and having a talk with the filmmaker i found out exactly why the film bombed the way it did the creators of the movie had no intention to call the film 2 originally the film was called the side of hell but was changed at the last minute by pictures to 2 without letting the filmmakers have any say in the matter by doing that it screwed them out of theatrical releases and doomed it to a straight to video release with minimal advertising br br again this is from the mouths not mine so i really can't say what is truth and what is hype br br if you look at the film as side of hell it isn't that bad it isn't great but it is not god awful it would basically just be a b movie that likes to show boobs but as a sequel to the film fails terribly,negative
second husband is an amateurish attempt at with more to fault than to praise the plot is the story monotonous the acting poor the execution second rate etc not worth the time unless maybe your a relative of one of the actors d,negative
this movie tries to be more than it is first of all the acting is horrible you have to get past the incredibly bad delivering of lines and terrible the plot is quite interesting a occurs apparently because it was made out of strings and wood and a couple of guys find themselves on shore if this weren't bad enough some guy named count de is living there as well he lives in fear of pirates and has gone utterly insane anyway he has a large slave a young woman and some dogs there's another woman who doesn't speak and his wife who is a anyway things get bad as these men have to deal with this nut case he is arrogant and likes to pose and deliver lines the rest of the movie involves an attempt to escape it has an ironic ending which i won't reveal and it kind of the film i wouldn't bother if i were you,negative
br br won't be long on this movie the first half an hour was one of the most boring i have had to face since i've started watching movies the story didn't advanced nothing was explained about any of the characters it felt like a non movie a lot of people had already left the audience at this point br br a lot of the scene were totally and unexplained br br the director should have studied film a bit more to know that each sequence each scene has to make the story go forward he never did that br br the supposedly funny moments were contrived and only a few people laughed people with a weird sense of humor i guess br br prize of the jury in cannes 2002 don't know what the jury was thinking about probably the correct effect br br i would have loved to love it the disappointment was therefore even bigger br br you have to see it to believe it but wait for the video,negative
definitely worth watching br br ten different directors each present a segment based on their favorite opera you don't need to be an opera lover to watch this film although of course if you hate opera you're really going to have a bad time with this br br not surprisingly the segments range from brilliant to only fair most of the fuss seems to be over contribution whether you think he's brilliant or pretentious his segment won't change your mind br br some of the pieces have a clear narrative others are more a montage of connected images br br none of the pieces is more than 10 minutes or so if you're not happy with what's on the screen wait for the next segment and think about how much culture you're up br br keep your eyes open for performances by buck henry beverly elizabeth fonda and john hurt the buck henry segment alone is worth the price of admission br br,positive
ken harrison a young in his early thirties is seriously injured in a road accident end of story br br end of story that is in the sense of end of any physical action not in the sense of end of the film life is saved but he is from the neck down when he discovers that he is unlikely ever to regain the use of his limbs he decides that he wants to die and asks the doctors to end the medical treatment which is keeping him alive the rest of the film is essentially one long debate about the rights and of and the right to die br br main antagonist in this debate is his doctor michael although the case against is often presented in religious terms here it is presented in purely ones if dr has any deep religious these are never expressed in the film he believes however that death is an enemy against which it is his duty as a doctor to fight to allow a patient effectively to take his own life would represent a surrender to that enemy and a of that duty ken therefore finds himself in a catch 22 situation he must be able to show that he is sane and rational enough to make the decision to end his life however considers that a wish to die is in itself evidence of insanity and dilemma can only be solved by hiring a lawyer to sue the hospital br br richard dreyfuss as ken and john cassavetes as dr put across their respective points of view and with sincerity but this cannot hide the fact that whose life is it anyway simply does not work as a film at one time filmed versions of stage plays were done in a similar way to theatrical productions but by the seventies and eighties this was often seen as because of the differences between the two media when plays were filmed therefore the general tendency was to open them up by filming on location as well as on studio sets by taking liberties with the text often making significant changes to the plot and even introducing extra characters br br i have never seen brian play but i suspect that this is a story that would work better in the theatre than in the cinema there is very little physical action most of the action consists of lengthy discussions around a hospital bed in which the main character lies such a plot does not lend itself to the opening up device at all and the resulting film is very static dominated by talk at the expense of action although it is well written and there is some good acting i am surprised that a film was ever made of such an subject 4 10,negative
burt reynolds directed this action movie and surprise he is actually a pretty good director this movie starts off well as attempted bust of a drug dealer is and he is down to the vice squad the ensemble cast has some pretty funny scenes as brian is always eating something has more class than all of his co workers combined and charles loses control of his squad br br the vice cops stumble on a high call girl ring that may have something to do with a series of murders spends days out rachel ward apartment and starts to really adore her from br br just when they are getting close to the crime leader is murdered i won't give away any of the surprises in the plot but the first hour of this film is great br br unfortunately the screenplay gets very clichéd and unbelievable after that br br why would burt reynolds confront the crime boss with his big secret sure it makes the guy sweat but it causes many more cops to be killed and it is not believable that and would make love after they have know each other for one day much less while their lives are in danger and at the end what happened to all the police that run into the building with our heroes isn't there a team also the film never actually tells you how all of the bad guys are connected and why they have to kill so many people br br there is a very effective torture scene on a boat near the end of the film which is probably the only really nail biting scene of the film it is a shame that the climax is a typical shoot em up still this film is certainly entertaining if you like crime and action movies don't think about the plot holes and you will have a good time,positive
this is a beautiful funny vivid film it's even better than cinema which it parallels but doesn't the story a full circle and had the theater as the credits rolled a hundred years after this story takes place we're just as intrigued by images in a dark theater,positive

i have seen this movie and in all honestly was quite disappointed and in my opinion this movie lacks heart i frankly didn't care what happen to the characters by the end of the movie br br there was so much there they could have done with the movie that they didn't because they were either so up in trying to be obscure and make some deep comment on life or trying so hard not to that the characters and story were completely lost in all of it i have seen another picture by this director and enjoyed it well enough but i felt this film lack of the and heart of the other and i was left wondering what the point was or if the point of the movie was that it had no point honestly while i didn't feel like my hair out during the movie i did the lost time on the sad little film br br i have no doubt that some people will love this movie but frankly i didn't,negative
i saw this film on the a e channel this past weekend the mystery was okay i was not able to guess the before the end but i enjoyed the characters and their development much more than the mystery there was a mystery about some of them especially george performed by the wonderful michael and cousin in fact the story of those two characters left me wanting to know more from what i've tried to glee about the agatha christie book of the same title i think this film did not follow it to the letter very good performances by the actors involved especially and the lady who played companion,positive
being a gay man who lived through the time period examined in this tedious documentary i was eager to see how the subject matter was handled unfortunately the film makers wasted what could have been an energetic and insightful opportunity to shed some light on our collective gay history this film only concerns itself with the period within new york city ignoring the rest of the country while i spent a fair amount of time in nyc at that time i can assure you that there was a gay life outside manhattan the men interviewed here are the same a list queens who thought they were better than anyone else during the 70s and here they are again nostalgic and still throwing attitude the film should have at least tried to cover larger topics such as race the gay system based on wealth body image and the rise of the of sub groups within the community and the ability to grow a decent mustache which was very important in the 70s alas we have none of this presented and the of those interviewed are no different than my own memories if you were there in that decade you'll enjoy the photos and grainy home movies of the bars and we haunted if you weren't there this film will undoubtedly seem dull it should have been so much more but sadly it's not two stars for my memory i still miss going to the,negative

i was watching the beginning of this on a friday mid day while working at computer at home relaxing a bit after a week and cleaning up some files and answering some got interrupted a couple of times so had trouble getting all the details straight although it's hardly a work of hitchcock proportions where missing a detail can through the whole story off and besides it was not exactly an engrossing piece of work br br so during a commercial read the only prior comment here by 1 and pretty much can agree with its details br br not quite in the category of a film so awful it is good but i'd like to catch on tape when run again rather than seeing it as aired so i can fast forward as needed and see the parts which i missed this first time br br give it a 3 because of the of the four primary characters,negative
yes let's get this out of the way before we begin this is the one that sean connery returned to in 1983 after the we had of roger moore it's last film and yes it's a kind of remake of but more of a film inspired by it if all you bond out there think i'm gonna get controversial you're right bond is one of the greatest movie series ever but that doesn't mean that a series should go on forever this i think is one of two films where they could've done themselves a huge favour and ended the bond saga not offended yet then i'll continue hey if you're thinking i'm indifferent about bond flicks you're wrong i grew up with my mum being obsessed with them any spare moment bond and his antics would be on the tv bond rules and say never directed by strikes is one of the best it may not be or russia ' and may not have been done by the same production house as all the others which i hear is why they refuse to accept it was ever made but still stands head and shoulders above the recent brosnan if you haven't at the screen read on characterization something so many blockbuster films forget about these days but something which is essential to telling a good story played a superb hand by treating like he had been since he's on a and so has to do things like go to a health farm a direct order from yeah if you haven't seen this film i won't give too much away with the plot because a loads happens and b obviously i want you to see it for yourselves don't be put off by my revelation connery still get plenty of superb set pieces to charge swim punch speed smash and his way through the man is a legend and this film is one of his most enjoyable as bond high tech some great villains and an excellent supporting cast including a fantastic cameo by lift this movie high above audience expectation br br this could've been the last bond film ever and it would've been a party to remember playing the secret agent as someone retirement was refreshing stroke of genius the last scene things up perfectly for the series but still we had more and then more and more still and one more moore still if you fancy finding out what is all about get this film then you can at least pretend spent his last moments as a secret agent in the arms of kim basinger and at mr bean p s that other film that i think could've finished it all off the gritty to,positive
i happened to rent this movie with my sister in hopes of watching a great entertaining movie that was humorous however my expectations were let down this movie was beyond disgusting and revolting for a pg 13 movie this should have been rated r for the many mature references that went on in this movie i wouldn't recommend allowing a 13 year old teen see this br br even if no one under the age of 17 is watching this movie beware of a truly stupid movie there's no humor in the movie just a bunch of disgusting sexual references including a small touch of something that shouldn't even be about br br i would like to know what happened to pg 13 movies that were actually safe for actual a 13 year old this is beyond a movie and should be re rated,negative
my architect is a great film about search for himself via the legacy of his famous architect father louis dead since 1974 the film builds slowly but perfectly and what starts out as a seemingly lost identity crisis unfolds into a beautiful tale with much deeper meaning with regard to the importance of love loss family and perhaps more importantly our life's work br br i had never heard of louis prior to this film although i was vaguely familiar with some of his work through the words both good and bad of louis colleagues you get a very good sense of what must have felt as memories are and stories sometimes it seemed as though these people were telling how to feel about his father as i listened to each my own opinion of this man would range from beautiful to horrible sometimes in the span of a moment so you get a good feel for the that emotions must have been riding br br the final sequence in totally made the film for me the of which the people of spoke of louis work tied all the loose ends together nicely for me and hopefully for br br i think finally found what he was looking for,positive
marlene is magnificent as the who drives all men to despair in von the devil is a woman her performance has nothing to do with in any conventional sense but she's a true star in full command of her material but she's the only good thing about the film she's so good she keeps you watching this i doubt if any other actress could have done the same br br the story is an lame melodrama surely pierre novel was better in which amoral ruins the lives of two friends played by lionel and romero with a on and for von it's an ugly looking movie maybe in keeping with its fairly ugly subject matter on the other hand thought enough of it to remake it as that obscure object of desire with a greater emphasis on the aspects of it all down to casting two different actresses in the same role neither film is either director's finest hour and while the version may be the better film it is you remember,negative
not as bad as nails where hopper plays an unstable cop but pretty bad how can a movie with such a great cast go so wrong this film manages to find a way the story was pretty stupid and direction seemed like he had never directed before all of the long shots in the beginning were lots of meaningless scenes with a lot of meaningless dialogue,negative
i really should have learned more about this movie before renting it it was one of those movies where you keep watching it it's got to get better then when it ends you feel stupid for having wasted precious time in your life that you can never get back ice t did his bad guy thing and well that was the highlight of the evening the pictures of the looks like it was done with a little toy inside of a box and the scenes were funny because you could see the strings attached to the space suits the script was lacking and the car chase scene with the guy bleeding and going unconscious was incredible because he drove better than i could have on one of my best days all in all i have seen worse but this sure isn't one i'd recommend or want to remember,negative
this movie is awful if you're considering to see this movie two words do not it's tasteless the storyline is really lame and the jokes are even worse the acting is really pathetic i can't believe that this movie was made rather watch american pie going greek or road trip if you're in the mood for a teen comedy it's about two girls who head for on their spring break as usual they didn't do much planning and called i think her names michelle 's uncle to crash at his mansion uncle strictly them of having any kind of party and as you would of guessed they go ahead and do it please i urge you do not see this movie,negative
there are a limited number of fans for movies in the world that would love a particular genre to go to the depths that this crew has done to bring to life something that the very writer of the original film had up to this point never achieved this is a wonderful exploration of the real dedication and love it takes to reach towards a potentially very successful cult film br br originally with the from alex cox this crew began producing the sequel of one of his movies in absolute true punk fashion their goal simply being to fully capture the atmosphere as it should be for a complete tribute to the original man film br br this is a great tale of dedication and the that can occur along the path to wonderful movie making a truly entertaining tale and a guaranteed learning experience for the viewer,positive

i don't know about the english version of this movie but the norwegian translation is the funniest movie i've seen in many years the characters say so many funny things and make so many weird references to current events that i'm amazed they kept having more like the architect who can never say the name of the wizard correctly it becomes things like i x and which is norwegian for foreign affairs br br like the word many of the does not give any meaning in english and probably not in french either so the must have made up their own jokes and done so very well of course they have a very good base to build on with a film that's simply comical from beginning to end br br recommended in all languages with a good translation,positive

worst movie ever i can't believe they had to hire jeremy to give this piece of crap some credibility and still failed did they think that if they stuck to the plot of the book that their target audience wouldn't be able to figure it out on their own probably hey let's make lots of things explode and give big boobs and have her speak in an fake broken english that'll make the morons watch but sir that's not how the book went at all i think we're being faithful to mr message f it we're going to the box office here never mind some dead author's ideas on human nature also let's add in orlando jones with some classic as a supporting character and never mind the interesting conclusion to the book guy pierce has to get some p at the end,negative
note i only saw approximately the last half of this movie so feel free to take my review with whatever grain of salt you appropriate that being said seeing what i saw was more than enough to make me quite convinced that a one star rating for this is enough br br in short it's a dismal plot slaughter of the wonderful christmas vacation with chevy chase only it doesn't have chevy chase in it and it takes place in a generic island essentially with no connection to christmas at all br br ol' chevy probably didn't want in because the plot is that devoid of actual fun instead they got the cousin eddie who again was great in the original but in this he is just over the top and an extremely poor basis for any movie considering the plot and acting the attempts at humor are generic to a degree where even contemporary television comedy it and considering that this is supposed to be comedy i doubt i need to say more br br this is not to be seen for its qualities for it has none but for it's and again how hollywood is it's life's blood of the past in the pursuit of a quick buck br br i think i'll watch the original before the upcoming christmas season just to try to regain my childhood innocence from a lost time when motion pictures were more than just high budget but mindless garbage,negative

it would be quite easy to make this movie sound fun a call girl gets shot in the by a north korean spy but survives the bullet that is in her brain makes her long for knowledge as well as sex to her she walks away from the shooting with the finger of george w bush in her purse a key which can the power to use nuclear just call it a romp and at least a few people will show up to the theater i'm not sure how many did go to see this four year old film when it opened in new york this past april but i sincerely hope not many it sounds like a light and playful flick but it has art house and is really just incredibly boring many films in the past have been successful in their artistic aspirations but this film's aspirations just make the time that between the sex scenes excruciating and then the sex scenes aren't even good i've seen some pretty outrageous stuff in dirty japanese movies i've never seen this country produce something with sex this dull the spice channel is more imaginative the only worthwhile thing in this movie is the body of the lead actress otherwise this is pure torture,negative

the film is very fast moving bizarre and colorful it's like mad max on speed tons of and make up also very cartoonish as that said cartoon sequence pops up here and there the plot is also very but i'll believe it's meant too be the thing that really drives me crazy in this movie is the characters they are painfully irritating especially rebecca played by petty she's really annoying i'll believe she is the most annoying creature i've ever seen the editing is also annoying very mtv stylized another thing that's missing from tank girl is an exciting adventure the humor isn't much funny either it has some nice visuals though br br however a lot of people love this film most of them are women and that's not weird at all because this movie is all about girl power tank girl this is a real chick flick and the best example of an hate love film,negative

i get a kick out of the new who fans who call it excellent their entitled to that opinion but the new series isn't quite there yet it's getting there it's definitely good br br first the good things the special effects are obviously better nearly 20 later since the last episode of doctor who battlefield was aired br br one thing the bbc has always liked is doctor who except when they tried to in the 70's and 80's however the anticipation and the pressure was great but i think the new series has passed the test it's good it's still not excellent because it does have it's flaws some of the stories were very poor i assume it was written in a couple of minutes by some idiot who never bothered to remake the character or never bothered to watch the old series br br aliens in london was by far probably the best episode so far it started a new storyline about aliens which has lasted across several episodes including br br now the other bad things the companion rose isn't great she's actually quite annoying but as is dr who a young had to be eventually chosen and she got the part br br christopher is pretty respectable he's started to catch his he tried to play the character straight then funny always missing the right punchline but he's taken it much more serious and it shows br br continuity wise there still some issues that didn't get resolved well paul was still the doctor before this but he didn't get put back br br aside from that though the series overall is pretty good i haven't missed an episode and it never gets boring so i recommend any doctor who fan to check it out and see the new doctor who series,positive
this movie was terrible the acting was awful the script was awful what was even worse were the camera shots and sound half the time the voices did not match up with the actors lips and different camera angles in the same scene would be completely different the worst part had to be when one of the actors was at the top of a huge cross shaped building the building had to have been 50 stories high and probably 100 feet wide however when the actor was on top of it in another shot they had the top of the building the had been reduced to about eight feet wide how could a building hundreds of feet high be eight feet wide i know the film was low budget but it is the movie itself just pushed ideas about a rapture then actually having a storyline or point this reduced the script to mere rubbish the characters seemed to be selling ideas in their lines rather than conveying emotions and moving the movie along in a direction it was a complete waste of time watching the movie gives christians a bad name if it is one of the current best christian films out there,negative
billy hughes is a mute young lady working for make up on a cheap horror picture being filmed in by an american director one night billy gets locked in the movie studio later that night she hears that someone might be in the building and goes to check it out that's when she stumbles across a woman being brutally murdered while being filmed after escaping the of the murderers billy informs the authorities only to be red faced when the men show it was an act billy knows what she saw and soon her life is in turmoil again from underground figures that believe she has something of importance br br i don't know how this heart sleeper passed me by but i thought it was a much older flick there's one thing though it's got to be one of the most and intense thrillers i've seen in quite a while it's just a great suspense and mostly everything into place the first half of the feature is surprisingly gripping with taut sequences that have your heart in your throat and clouds us with an foreboding environment of alienation this is a wicked black streak faults do pop up in the story as it does lose that furious grip it held so early and goofy humour or better comic relief between fay and characters is a hit and miss affair by being too in the long run it probably could have done without despite some cringe moments this aspect didn't my enjoyment of it for me the soft ending they decided to go with just didn't feel right br br the interestingly mysterious premise was eerie to the bone and packed some unsettling goods so multi was the context and its thrills there was something fresh to how this all plays out and the and unbearable tension are into a range of sudden plot turns and twists really they made superb use of the novel idea of this and to the situation by staging it in a foreign place where not too many spoke english and so we are caught up in the confusion too the delicate gives a harrowing portrayal of the american mute girl billy the way she able to display the emotions through her eyes and actions gave it some gruff and believability director anthony shoots the flick in a rather stylish well timed and manner without that look that from its rigid surroundings and a music score at you the only real name to make an appearance was small cameo part by alec guinness the performances by the cast were all fine especially the nail biting turns by and as the russian murderers br br this riveting feature that's mostly made up of is way better than your average dark thriller highly recommended,positive
i can't remember when i've seen a worse movie the acting was overwrought the dialog trite to the point of being painful to listen to the special effects second rate and the overall story laughable br br i've never wanted to walk out on a movie more and if i'd been alone that's what i'd have done about 30 minutes into it and saved myself nearly another two excruciating hours of inducing dialog and a plot with more holes than a swiss cheese the size of texas i just can't what a miserable experience sitting through this waste of perfectly good celluloid was br br,negative

is one of those films from the forties that is crying for a remake if for no other reason than maybe it's time it should be done as originally written the story on which the film is based is about the killing of a gay man but anti was certainly a hot topic in the days of post world war ii with the holocaust fresh in everyone's mind br br in the lee biography of robert mitchum edward the director was interviewed and and said that the film could never have been made about a hate crime against gays at the time with the code firmly in place it could have been though because the character of robert ryan is such an equal opportunity of everything that from his societal br br mitchum was told in no uncertain terms that he was in the film strictly for the ride robert young was cast as the washington police homicide captain who catches the case and while mitchum was second billed he knew from the beginning the film would belong to ryan but he was new star by of his performances in the story of joe and till the end of time so he was there for box office insurance part was as a sergeant and friend of the original suspect in the case george cooper br br is not a even though we don't see the crime it becomes clear that is the one who kills sam the quintessential jewish and it becomes clear to young and mitchum that ryan is the guilty party almost as fast as it does to the audience it becomes just a question of getting the evidence br br ryan earned one of several academy award nominations the film garnered his best supporting actor category though he lost to edmund the film was breakthrough role similarly gloria was nominated for a brief part as a party girl for best supporting actress but she lost to for in fact ran up against and lost for best picture and best director for to kazan it's fifth nomination for best screenplay and came up short again with the winner being miracle on street br br gloria also had her own problems on the set which over from her personal life she was having big trouble with her then husband stanley who was an abusive husband he was hanging around the set causing ed a lot of problems fortunately part was a small one in fact the whole film was shot in typical rko economy style in 20 days br br robert young has a particularly fine scene with william a young kid from in mitchum and outfit who ryan constantly young is most in speaking about the nature of hate and how it affected his family as irish who came over in the years it was one of robert best moments on screen in his long career br br as fine a film as is it's time to be remade as a story about an anti gay hate crime especially with the real killing of barry from the last decade and the debate about gays in the military br br that's a film who's time has come and almost gone,positive
the cinema of the 60s was as much as time of revolution as the politics and the music filmmakers were daring to make avant garde films discussing taboo subjects only before in exploitation films starting with both breathless and underground american cinema such as kenneth anger films became more and more experimental all of this when hollywood realized they had mass commercial appeal with easy rider one of the best and most surprising of this era was also one of the least successful initially head was made when the career was seriously which is what damned one of the best psychedelic films ever made br br the plot well there really isn't one as many have said it involves the going from one surreal scenario to the next one however these sequences are all obviously and basically mock how the were sick of being confined to their light pre reputation its a shame that the film found no audience the who loved them had moved onto a new as they always do the psychedelic crowd to whom the film was garnered would never be caught dead at a movie its all their loss this film may be plot less but it is certainly not without meaning and is very intelligently put together the crew later made both easy rider and five easy pieces the film was later at a 1973 and it gained a very positive response which granted it the cult following it had deserved for a long time ironically the would fall victim to the same they in this film with their later 80s reunion 10 10,positive
yet again director j lee thompson with actor charles bronson for a violent and action flick in fact this is probably most brutal film quite a feat for a man who appeared in death wish ten to midnight and land however brutality doesn't on its own make for a good film and the evil that men do is ultimately a disappointment if you were to take away its brutality the film would have precious little else of interest br br the story is about a retired bronson who lives a life on a island he is to come out of retirement to track down and eliminate a sadistic torture doctor who has been his vile trade around various south american hell holes throughout the film especially at the beginning we are treated to some graphic torture scenes to show us just what a nasty piece of work he is br br these themes are actually quite serious torture does go on in latin american and everyday folk are made to suffer some painful experiences simply for an viewpoint but the evil that men do for all its worthy isn't really bothered about the plight of these poor people it is bothered purely with giving charles bronson an excuse to blow away some unpleasant it's just an exploitative which hangs its coat on genuine issues the torture sequences make you the viewer feel like a dirty sick in the head rather like someone who pleasure from viewing snuff movies the script is full of horrid dialogue including some excessive of acts of torture the evil that men do fails to explore its disturbing ideas its serves them up as entertainment and asks us to enjoy them sorry but that's just wrong,negative
this film blade master may be cheap clumsy in appearance and it is sometimes but it shares thoughts on problems that are way beyond the era this film is set in is the chosen one that has to protect the earth against a terrible weapon that is compared in an unforgettable and unpredictable way to the atomic weapon he goes through obstacles as a character who is just more than muscle power although he has quite is lot i would say this aspect of the movie makes it a film like conan the barbarian which is the least i can say quite brainless it doesn't in any ways the great adventure movie that is conan but it gives his that he shares not with the barbarian for a lower budget movie this film does good in terms of setting and the fights are most of the time believable the villain has with is prisoner throughout the film one of the most interesting psychological confrontation that gives tension to the movie even if seems way too fit for the task to loose br br what gives this movie that little extra are those scenes that may look quirky but worth of mention the fight with the god even though he is a gigantic puppet is well handled as the snake with good remains a and the fight is quite convincing the movie in a most unusual way quite but breathtaking the sequence the scene itself is not introduced properly read not at all where did get that machine it's pretty unconvincing but it leads to a really poetic and beautiful sequence that is the culminating point in the movie in a place where few human fantasy heroes have been br br if blade master is not among the great fantastic movies of all time is no surprise due to its lacks it's a bigger surprise considering the philosophical way it chooses on the confrontation between good and evil the truth it speaks and the heart it shows that this movie is so i suggest it for every fan of the genre and try take it seriously as an intelligent movie that's to be taken more seriously than it seems,positive
the appeal of this film has to be the artsy euro style because there's absolutely no substance a bunch of stuff happens that seems to be going somewhere but it never gets there br br it's difficult to come up with a full 10 lines of commentary because this film is such a totally empty experience there's lots of nice photography of a cemetery some really lame zombie effects some flashes of what might pass for humor and a feeble ending these elements each other just when you might be enjoying the creepy mood there's some silliness with heads or zombie sex to keep from screaming with boredom you at the minimal story line and it into ridiculous it's like someone took several half baked b movies and tossed them in a br br what comes out is mostly a film about and not a good one clearly it will impress that category of art house fan who sees as from depth everyone else should stay well clear of this dreary mess,negative
i have found this show by accident and was surprised to find out that nobody i know has ever heard of it this was by far one of the best shows i have seen in months if not years and i cannot wait for more episodes to come out sleeper cell portrays a psychological struggle of an undercover agent inside of a terrorist cell who has to constantly make difficult decisions in order to maintain his cover while staying true to his real cause this is an extremely well done show it keeps you intrigued from the first episode till the end and though slowly is fast enough for you to feel on the edge quite realistic and it touches on important topics and every episode presents an interesting question to about this show is not 24 or any of the cop shows on tv and is not trying to be anything either it is genuine and unique it is a show about a human being his difficult choices and his life of struggle where a simple mistake can cost him everything br br i gave this show a 10 for great storyline good progression excellent cinematography excellent music and realistic characters each with a story to tell,positive
like many western history buffs i had been really looking forward to this much program that was produced by however i must say now that i was somewhat disappointed on the positive side i believe that overall this film did a fair job of explaining the main issues and describing the events of the so called french and indian war in particular its presentation of the point of view was somewhat new and quite interesting although it certainly was at time over also on the positive side the blend of narrative and action scenes was well done and came across somewhat better than many of these typical documentaries made up of experts interviews and picture stills a la ken burns on the negative side many of the battles did have a somewhat staged look and many important aspects of the war were overlooked most of all i was very disappointed and frustrated by how little importance was given to successful campaign of against as compared to the earlier failures of by washington and by in particular i was somewhat that there was no mention of colonel henry the swiss in the british service who was most responsible for success finally i could not believe the complete of the battle of run that started as a re run of defeat but ended up as the victory that decided the outcome of war thanks to the of the same colonel who certainly must rank as one of the most successful british of this war,negative
apparently a massive head wound is the cure for homicidal turning a murderous into a lovable and dog also this ones for the ladies it seems that the front gate of a psychiatric hospital is an overlooked hot spot for meeting potential mates those are just two of the approximately 23 we're supposed to accept for this movie to have any meaning i love movies and i believed as i'm assuming many americans do forgive me if i'm wrong that hollywood turned out the best product i've come to learn how sadly naive and i was and 2 how much more sophisticated european asian cinema is in comparison to its american counterpart br br i watched this allegedly disturbing psychological thriller the night following a viewing of a japanese movie called suicide club as the camera faded on walter happy little family enjoying some quality time around a prison visiting room table not to mention the voice over the virtue of doing the right thing i suddenly had an i had just finished watching a movie that left me feeling as though i'd just had a glass of water when i really wanted a beer my was but it was strictly the premise was mildly interesting but the story itself with its how do we explain her finding the book we'll just say something like or did the book find her they'll buy that plot holes why did take the predictability and obligatory happy ending turned out to be just another hollywood hack job additionally the casting of jim carrey was at any moment i felt he was capable of breaking into some from one of his stupid comedies or in living color jim carrey as a hard boiled police detective who enjoys bondage and rough sex didn't buy it for a second br br you want disturbing deeply disturbing watch suicide club the story the mysterious mass suicide of school girls the film opens with a group of high about on a subway train platform we then watch in horror as they line up hold hands and happily throw themselves in front of a fast moving train needless to say much chaos ensues that's as far as i'm going to go with the story line because i encourage the reader to see the film in fact i'm not sure if i could outline the plot even if i wanted to what begins as a straightforward mystery quickly into a of grotesque imagery did i understand the movie many of the foreign films my girlfriend has introduced me to so naturally i thought it was bad but this one in my mind i went to bed thinking on the film and the next morning and looked it up on imdb i read some of the viewer comments and was at 1 the insights others had derived from the film and 2 the fact that i had so thoroughly missed the whole point of the movie i realized that i was so used to being fed the message from hollywood that when confronted with a film that actually required the viewer to actually think for themselves i was totally it's as if i had been to check my brain at the door of the theater br br am i saying that suicide club is the greatest movie ever made of course not it has its flaws many of which were reported by the imdb reviewers am i saying that all american movies are bad and all foreign movies are good course not my point is that there's a whole world of film making outside of body of work that the viewer forces them to think and that don't plot twists follow a strict linear sequence and above all don't insult the intelligence of the person watching i look forward to my mind while exploring this new world of film that doesn't do the thinking for me,negative
i am shocked to see that this movie has been given more than two stars by some people they must either be kidding or be totally blind for the art of acting directing and other flaws of the movie br br i must admit that i just could not force myself to sit through the whole movie it was just too bad br br the three first characters not including the were just awful actors and i mean awful maybe the director didn't care or may be he is a worse director it was like watching a bad school play the movie was of course filmed with a video camera not real film and the light settings were not very good either in addition the sound man if they had one must either have been a or a drunk as the sound were amateurish even in one of the first scenes from the kitchen awful acting btw the sound from the dialog was pretty bad for example when the woman moved her head while speaking you could hear her voice disappear and come back it sounded like they had tried to correct that in post production by turning up the volume a bit when she turns her head in addition you had the ongoing irritating sound from either camera equipment or other sources in the kitchen br br all these in the first 5 minutes or so need i say more br br a good school project or fun project for friends to watch but should never have been released for a real audience especially not for a paying audience this was a rip off unless you have a very low standard regarding movies or just bad taste you are warned,negative

i thought this be totally different than just another teen slasher well i was totally wrong there's a nun coming out of the toilet seat and something really odd i know that spanish culture is a bit different and their movies too but i didn't expect to see a fake hollywood film they certainly it pretty well though they make a movie without any new aspects this is just plain boring and it'd been done totally without any imagination br br i thought that having a nun as the bad guy in the be something really original it turned out to be a teen slasher if been done ten years ago then it'd have been something new br br i can't recommend this movie for anyone but it certainly has some comedy value it's like a horror parody in some points,negative
i know that full moon or any other film studio for that matter could never the fun and cheesy sci fi feeling that was the original ' and with the last two entries in the series having jack in medieval times instead of futuristic los angeles it became quite obvious that there really was little hope in the series breathing new life into a film is one thing but taking our main character out of his element and putting him into the past well it didn't work so now with 6 full moon has so much new life into the series that we don't even deal with jack any more we now deal with his daughter jo jack is in her body and must go into the past and fight the one more time br br minor spoiler first scene of the film revealed br br to prove how bad this movie is you only need watch the first two minutes of the film when the original jack appears on the screen but it's not actually tim it's clips of him and sound strung together trust me you can tell they're strung together horribly to provide the viewer the last of the true jack humor and from this point on things only go down hill having this girl jo as our main character while jack is supposed to be in her body is the worst idea in the world having this cute young woman act as a rough and tough man isn't the right track at all it doesn't work and it really comes off as foolish br br i'm not going to go into the aspects of special effects and makeup because most reading this know what full moon has become a really really low budget enterprise i don't know what to say about this movie except i really wish full moon could be like it was in the days of demonic toys puppet master and 1 back then while the special effects weren't great the story telling was they made serious b movies for serious b movie and horror fans and that just doesn't take place today with the new full moon studios i for the good ol' days and truly hope that full moon can pull itself out of this horrible that they're in right now br br 6 gets a 2 out of 10,negative

this film was nothing more than exploitative gay it was not an art movie just an excuse to show several gratuitous exploitative over the top scenes with extensive male nudity there was a locker room scene involving over a dozen naked men the camera in on the men's and as they are portrayed for several minutes with their in full screen view there are several scenes in this film showing penis after penis it gets redundant real fast and makes it impossible to take this film seriously i was wondering if i was watching a video by mistake if these same scenes were filmed using women ex totally naked and showing their repeatedly it would be quickly as just porn and an excuse to show a lot of eye candy which is all that this film is any artistic merit got down the drain of the gay ghetto mentality the themes of class distinction homosexuality longing desire etc were simple and superficial no more developed than what one would expect from a first year philosophy student just cut to the chase and rent a gay porn instead,negative
this is an unfortunately classic br br the look is superb the design costumes etc are flawless the post battle scenes and the charge are both chilling and exciting br br the characters are vivid and really human is right and as the lawyer steals the movie with his clever like performance in the ups and downs of depardieu is good but perhaps too large a presence for this role br br where the film really excels is the story and also its changes from those changes are in that has lots of discussion on society and this film with characters nevertheless has the key not just the missing man trying to regain his place in society but every character has to find their place in society the is trying to buy a his wife comes from a birth and when she was married to colonel they achieved their position in the of post revolutionary france everyone has something to lose in terms of status and that makes for a good drama as their are in conflict with each other br br it also feels very modern money is critical to buy status to reach power but someone can go down as quickly as they go up enjoys the he has seen the worst of people he says to when he takes the case this original place is at the end of the as sums up the human comedy with huge irony,positive
first i should say that i've seen the version at least 100 times know all the dialog and have read the play which is different from the and contains of gold of its own this version is as flat as a lifetime movie on adultery there's a reason you haven't seen an expensive campaign of tv ads for it according to entertainment weekly hated the tone of the original and how the women spent the whole time going to war on each other guess what that was intent it was a slick theatrical take on adultery and back biting among a set of well manhattan the crowd that made this new version had no intention of the original source material they pick at it putting in half a scene here and half a scene there that come from the first version bette midler who is in just a few scenes and acts the old part in a broad style doesn't have any context in this version she mentions going after buck which is a key element in the original then he's never mentioned again this movie is so dull that i'm not going to over analyze it but here are a few things that i found unbelievable mary haines to her domestic staff i can suck the nails out of a board right great writing norma could've done a line reading on that gotten an oscar right a compassionate sylvia got what she wanted and the movie just sort of away claire booth used sylvia as the comic engine that swept through the play as portrayed by russell she was an ignorant woman who off of petty ridiculous irresistible dialog that is still classic and she wasn't above biting the 2008 filmmakers decided that this character had to die in killing her off they killed the movie,negative
seagal fans beware he does no action scenes until almost an hour into this mess instead seagal runs away from numerous fights letting rule convincingly lose every battle actually rule could be an up and coming action star but hollywood needs to let him at least hit which should happen in a few more years also what sort of terrorist wears a bare outfit the chick in this atrocity looks like a singer for christina back to seagal when he finally does cut loose it's his stunt double heavily padded to resemble the seagal doing a lot of the work taking the falls i don't remember any either it's just your standard kicks punches you'd see in any straight to video martial arts turkey not even so bad it's funny either just plain dull,negative
i survived the first hour of this and came back for the last ten minutes just to say i saw the end if you want real mythology executed look for the odyssey great storytelling doesn't need to be the stories are fantastic on their own i only hope sean needed the money and and must be in their graves wherever those may be br br at least with version the tongue was relentlessly in cheek we knew it was mostly but perhaps enough interest was generated in the to send someone to the library i'm surprised could turn out something so amusing the tv series and follow it with something so devoid of quality,negative
this movie is from the 80s but it looks like it was made in the stone age the effects are way too cheesy my copy has sandra on the cover which was why i bought the movie she was in the movie for about 5 minutes of total she would most likely deny all involvement br br in short there is no part of this movie worth seeing except to laugh at how bad it sucks rent this to see the worst film ever made bar none,negative
if you take the movie for what it is worth you won't be disappointed if you think murray is supposed to win an oscar for his performance and that is the type of movie you are expecting don't bother it was funny when i saw it in 1979 and hasn't lost its charm good clean fun for the kids and mindless entertainment for the older folks the story line is simple and easy to follow murray has done better but this is his first film the movie reminds me of a time when we didn't need blood and guts to be entertained is the head and plays the part perfect the other are typical up teens looking to have fun during the summer one nice thing about this movie it has a message,positive
this movie is a picture perfect action drama and thriller every scene has you sucked in i watched this movie and was amazed by how many talented actors were in the movie especially was great he played his role perfectly the story was made for these actors the characters make the movie so realistic this movie very simply gets an a plus from me definitely watch this film it with scarface but has a more in depth story this movie not only gives you a good picture of the gangster life but it also gives you the characters emotions and at the end you really feel for the main character watch this film,positive
sometimes you ignore that little voice in your head that says stay away from this movie we should all pay more attention to that little voice this may be the worst movie i've ever had the non pleasure of sitting through or it may be the best reason to remember that your dvd player has a fast forward button made on a budget somewhere in the of 1 99 the is obviously a quick made to on the current bunch of scary cave lots of darkness claustrophobic unknown menace flicks like the cave and the descent a few years back there was similar of look alike movies that used sea going instead of all had scary lots of darkness claustrophobic unknown same old same old the is really the blair witch project only this time we're lost under the earth and not lost on top of it throw in a with failing a cow skull with glued on it for a monster and one of the stupidest twist ever put on film that being said let me urge you to listen to me the little voice in your head i'm your friend i want you to have a happy life stay away from this movie,negative
death bed the bed that eats is a bizarre horror film that truly has to be seen to be believed there is an ancient four poster bed that just loves to eat humans and it does so anytime it can lure anyone to lie upon it there is also a long dead artist imprisoned behind one of his paintings who provides a voice over narration george the first and only one film offers some truly surreal moments such as the bed absorbing its victims in a mysterious sea of yellow and the atmosphere is dreamy and there is only a little bit of gore unfortunately the premise is rather silly and the acting is amateurish still as fan of unusual cinema i enjoyed this low budget give it a chance 8 out of 10,positive
quite good don't expect anything high culture the acting is bad the storyline fails but it is still a fairly nice movie to watch why because it's dark a little bit stupid like unpredictable and just entertaining and fun to watch do not expect anything like i said just see it for yourself and you know what i mean br br it is a movie without a plot or memorable acting but there are enough scenes that will make you laugh cry or at least make you feel compelled to watch it to the end br br this is all i wanted to say br br 7 10,positive
this film is along with le lo and both films leave a lot to be desired in the way of their dvd first both films are very dark occasionally making it hard to see exactly what's happening second neither film has subtitles and you are forced to watch a dubbed film though del does seem to have a better dub personally i always prefer subtitles but for the non out there this isn't a problem these dvd problems however are not the fault of the original film makers just the indifferent package being four decades later br br as for the film it's about the assassination of president garfield this is a major problem as van johnson looks about as much like garfield as judy garland in no way whatsoever does he look like garfield he's missing the beard has the wrong hair color and style and is just not even close in any way trust me on this i am an american history teacher and we are paid to know these sort of things the real life garfield was a civil war general and looked like the guys on the smith brothers drop boxes plus using some other actor to provide the voice for johnson in the dubbing is just surreal never before or since has van johnson sounded quite so macho he was a fine actor but certainly not a convincing general or macho president br br in addition to the stupid casting president death was in no way like this film it's obvious that the film makers are actually in on the crazy about concerning the death of not garfield garfield was shot in washington not dallas by a lone with severe mental problems not a group of men with however according to most experts what actually killed garfield over two months later were incompetent doctors who and and to retrieve a bullet to no and never bothered cleaning their hands or in the process in other words like george washington who was basically killed by repeated when suffering with he died due to in the movie they got nothing right whatsoever other than indeed president garfield was shot br br because the film bears almost no similarity to real history it's like a history lesson as taught from someone from another planet or someone with a severe brain injury why not also include ninjas fighting robots and the greek gods while you're at it aside from some decent acting and production values because the script is utter cow crap i don't recommend anyone watch it it's just a complete and utter mess,negative
the story of how the communist leader who freed the from was eliminated by the western powers through the hand of a story of struggle and injustice of hope and the search of freedom the story could be the one of any african country a very moving film with images full of symbolism and beauty if you have to see only one foreign film this year see this one,positive

to begin with its a rip off of the japanese film battle royal except it's missing the one thing that made br unique balls it's a weak satire at best and as far as the real tv it attempts to comment on well everyone knows how and stupid that genre can be so why was this film made,negative
this film is brilliant it has cute little in it and its a great storyline and it has wood in it which makes it a great film too his acting skills are very good and if you want a good soft family film this is the one to watch,positive
and was one of the funniest films of the 1999 melbourne film festival from the uk it is about a young crowd of and their various relationship much of the humour is around a new men's self help group where they pass around various like the of they also go on a weekend with hilarious results trust me you'll laugh your teeth out,positive
by the acting in this movie it is sometimes hard not to imagine that the cast are who they portray themselves to be passion and acting at times make this a very enjoyable and engaging movie wouldn't even have known about it except for hbo late night and the biggest reason i like uk films much better than american ones are that the actors aren't afraid to act out what is needed,positive
first of all around the time i wrote this comment i had already read what 1 had written about this game and was confused this is a video game and not an actual movie i mean i myself would choose a good deniro movie or playing a video game any day but dude what are you talking about now that i have that out of the way let's move on shall we the video game adaption of tiger hidden dragon is as you may have guessed based on the movie of the same name what's stranger is that this was released three years after the film was released whether that's due to a slow development time or just plain no one really knows at least i don't br br the game allows the player to play as the four main characters of the movie li and dark cloud whose story is a secret bonus that is for separate all four of these characters have fighting styles based on how they fought in the movie however the real eye candy is the moves that allow each character to avoid the blows of an attack in the most impossible and gravity ways that were first in the movie br br the story is obviously based on the story told in the movie the story in the game is told using cg movies and spoken in a subtitled language a nice little touch considering i preferred the foreign language track of the film over the dubbed one the story goes to expand on what happened to the other characters during the film and even no real surprise since pretty much all video game movie have done this what officially happened in the movie to make the game have more action i never thought fox would go so far as to actually go and get hired br br the real bonus for the story is the ability to decide how the game ends what if had all the ingredients to cure li in her possession what if had not gotten back her what if li had not gotten the green destiny back for the second time your actions will decide the outcome of these scenarios and the destiny of the characters in this game this is truly the best feature of the game br br yet for all it's strengths it also showcases some flaws the enemies often tend to become a after a while and the camera angle tends to be fixed on the most of spots not even the special features which are after beating the game are good enough to even forgive such that are forced upon the player br br if you loved the movie you may enjoy the game however this game is the only way you're going to be able to yourself into a version of such a beautiful and amazing movie br br of course you could have just picked a deniro movie instead,positive
there is really but one thing to say about this sorry movie it should never have been made the first one one of my favourites an american werewolf in london is a great movie with a good plot good actors and good fx but this one it stinks to heaven with a cry of br br,negative
i have to start out by saying that the actresses and actor did a fine job for what they worked with the problem in dark reality is you had a poor director who tried so hard to be innovative and he ended up up the film from start to finish you can tell the film reel quality itself is low but the poor lightning and shaky camera only hurt it further by what is going on the sound is and often times not understandable i'm sure huston the director would argue this was to a state of panic in the audience but he had more than ample material in which to do it having to result to camera and lighting the way he did was a sign of over the top syndrome br br the story is good a basic sadistic female story that avoids cliché by keeping the girl's in a state of despair the whole time for good reason billy bob from silence of the treated his victims better than the biggest problem with the story is that dead people constantly the lead character in her mind and by the second time they showed up i was fast as this was attempting to destroy the only decent part of the film br br in the end the way the director it together showing random things and constant barely scenes not because of horror because of the lighting angles and camera ultimately destroyed this film huston was obviously trying too hard and if anything it a bad film school project if you want to see a decent story then it's all right but be warned the film quality is enough for most to turn it off,negative
to start off this happens to be my favorite of the st br br in addition to critical comments i'll throw in some more getting technical when the enterprise fires it's at a blind target they'd have to be mighty close to direct hits i believe in order to cause any much less damage to the with the of space to with br br i had somewhat of a problem with the commander questioning his faith in the or their unless it has to do with attacking vulnerable targets in the neutral zone that are not at war also i don't think commander would fall for the basic or simple tactics that kirk played such as playing dead or falling for the that the puts on him about whether or not to attack the enterprise when it is playing dead br br on the enterprise i'm surprised that after seeing the method of attack earlier that would say are they when it attacks the enterprise the first time br br funny how spock can only get the done on the weapons control right when the is over br br also in the final attack i thought the was too long so long that spock could run down a couple and back to the weapons room and and fire the i would have used at this point but i'm sure it had to do with the and budget br br on the positive side it's a good drama played on the in which to introduce us to the great scenes with stiles telling a good deal of the human knowledge of the also his conflict with spock is right up there i wished character would have stayed on the show for a while if for nothing else than the energy he added br br it's only in fun that i point out the and goofs i'm sure there are more but for me this is as good as it gets balance of terror is always the one i place at the top in my st,positive
greatest period started in post war europe with neo movement during the next 2 or 3 decades that followed new caught everyone's attention and there was always bergman up there on his desolate island somewhere making bitter masterpieces but in 1971 visconti brought the art form to full circle speaking with his work death in which might as well be called the death of cinema after the sixties wound down so did the great european filmmakers who with some exceptions generally grew exhausted and passed the torch to a new american generation of movie coppola scorsese co this movie absolutely feels like a grand up not just of particular but of the general attempt of european filmmakers to achieve the aesthetic ideal in movies and rest assured you will find no task master than the visconti revealed here he's not playing to the crowd folks either you get behind him and follow along or you get left behind the pacing is a challenge slow but never without emotional weight incidents are few and far between but each seems loaded with symbolic significance in a br br we will probably never be in such company again in terms of the movies one of the great writers who inspired the tale thomas mann one of the greatest filmmakers directing it visconti one of the greatest actors in the lead role and almost in the background taking full advantage of ability to inspire in even the most cynical breast visconti changes the main character into a composer from his original persona as a writer even making up to look like geeky mustache shaggy hair duck like walk by the way delivers what is probably greatest performance of an actor in the history of movies it's a largely silent performance and the actor has to deliver of meaning in a gesture or a glance a difficult trick without like chaplin or merely acting like an animated corpse br br cinema just doesn't get better than this i'll ignore the complaints from the out there who say that it's too slow but even the more legitimate concerning some of flashbacks with that friend of his is misplaced the flashbacks fit neatly within the movie's concerns i e which is the better path to aesthetic perfection passion or discipline and the and of these serve to prevent among the viewers of course some viewers will sleep through this movie anyway a stream of and beautiful dying would be nothing more than a pretty picture but this movie is actually about something and what it's mostly about is suffering romantic capital r suffering in particular as a suffering romantic himself visconti knew he spoke br br spoiler i guess if for nothing else see death in for its opening credits and for its unforgettable ending with jet black hair dripping off of his dying head and onto his white face meanwhile off in the distance young the object of dying desire stands in the ocean and points toward the horizon like a the climatic sequence sums up with economy everything that the movie is about love lust beauty loss the ending of a life set against the beginning of another life and cold death in the midst of warm sunny beauty death in is a work of art br br dvd tip as with the simultaneously released visconti masterpiece the damned i recommend that you turn the english subtitles on while watching this movie it's ostensibly in english but the dvd's sound seems and there's a lot of italian spoken during the film anyway br br,positive
graphics brilliant obviously the most stunning things were definitely not given away in the trailers fight sequences move extremely fast but after watching a couple of them your eyes should be used to it and it won't seem so confusing cloud has a wide array of swords and i kinda wish things were moving a little slower just so we could see them because they were each incredibly detailed oh and we finally get to see exactly how one br br music brilliant also i was a bit nervous about it since from what i've seen isn't the best at writing music to go along with action remember the steal the tiny sequence but it's brilliant and it fits perfectly i'm glad i the they changed the lyrics to one angel though so you won't be able to sing along if you know the lyrics br br plot the first half of the movie sets up things and introduces everyone in a fairly complex but the second half is almost entirely fight sequences once all the players are in place i wouldn't call it a weak plot but it's nowhere near as convoluted as the plot was i think this is in an effort to avoid trying to the game and i think that's a good thing the movie is its own and shouldn't try to top the original in terms of sheer plot br br i admit i was kind of hoping that this movie would bring to a wider range of people but this is not a mainstream movie i was going to give it only nine stars just because it doesn't even really try to explain anything to marlene at least i think it was marlene sounded like her gives a bit of background at the beginning but it's more of a than a crash course but then i realized for me this movie is a 10 10 so why should i take off points just because other people probably won't like it as well if you've played the game or are at least familiar with it you should see this movie but you don't need me to tell you that if you're not familiar with it go out and buy it sit there for twenty hours and beat it and then see the movie although even without any background it's still stunningly beautiful you just won't get any of the inside references which make up 50 of the movie that is everything that isn't a fight sequence,positive
books are always so plotted with twists and turns and usually a great surprise ending this adaptation had none of that br br so much of what was great in the book the history of monk and the betrayed agents the plot to influence the outcome of the russian election were completely missing in this adaptation instead there's this completely new plot about bio weapons that was a br br protagonists always in the shadows forever just slightly beyond the reach of the the of his books have always been the of carrying out their mission this film itself to and car chases early on br br monk might as well have hung a sign around his neck saying i am a secret agent for all the attention that he called to himself during the film and with all of that attention the amount of time that it took the bad guys to catch up to him was surprising br br granted there was some energy to this film which is why i'm giving it a 3 instead of a 1 it was also great to see some pros like patrick ben cross michael york and barry morse br br i hope that someday someone will once again do justice to a film adaptation like day of the did,negative
this was an excellent show it came on back home in chicago and i remember cindy from played the teen aged daughter the show dealt with subjects such as sex pressure and it was about a middle class black family who had a teen aged daughter and son who moved to a middle class neighborhood from or somewhere i can't remember i remember several episodes but the one i remember most was when their cousin got her period for the first time i was probably 7 8 when i first watched it and i was able to keep up with the program this was a great show i can't remember the name of the guy who played the son on the show but i always got him confused with kevin,positive
when i first heard of this movie i was mildly interested the plot seemed like an opportunity for hilarity and as an actor and director seemed like something that might be good when i found out the movie starred ryan i was even further interested i was a fan of when it was on yeah i'm that lame however i didn't have much faith in it being to good when i sat down to watch it i was afraid i was wasting my time br br but even just five minutes it it became apparent that i'd been wrong br br i thought that the comedy of this film was delightfully idiotic and definitely not suited for all kinds of people the acting was rather good much better than my expectations i thought that it was rather easy to relate to character which gave the movie a center that was believable this is key in a movie as outrageous as this and is probably why i was not a fan of br br the movie is not suitable at all for younger people duh and will definitely create more than it's fair share of awkward if watched with parents but it's a good one for you and your buddies on a movie night,positive
an intense thriller about a mute movie make up artist who witnesses a snuff film being made when she is working late in the studio one night after she tries to get away from the murder scene she realizes she is in for more than she for when the entire mafia is out to kill her for being a witness this movie leaves you on the edge of your seat,positive
as can be read in many reviews here it is a movie you love or hate apparently not so much space for opinions in between i for one think that is a good sign br br i always appreciated this movie although the genre is not my typical style i never watched titanic for instance and am not planning to br br the english patient grips because it shows how people can be different when they are in an exotic environment as opposed when they are it shows how destructive love can be in a slow strong and utterly painful way it because of the extremely passionate affair the pain of the one s who leave behind how pointless one can feel to move on br br the photography is just stunning not to mention the play of the actors the pace is slow but and that does justice to the book the and the depth development of the characters to put this in minutes as some seem to suggest here would the multi of this movie people tend to have difficulties with the pace of movies as if they are in a rush to get to work hey get a life enjoy br br i give this movie 4 5 out of 5,positive
i guess only a selected number of audience members really had any interest in watching how a male hustler in new york but i'd be willing to bet that even these brave souls were turned off by the irritating technique and deliberately sound recording on display here the fact that these inherent were a direct result of the film's low budget underground experimental nature is i'd say beside the point anyway for those so inclined the film features extensive male nudity and joe understandably became an underground – and gay – icon br br the episodic structure showing the day to day routine of the hustler protagonist offers a couple of mildly interesting scenes his meeting with and eventually posing for an eccentric elderly artist the one where expresses his views on his unusual line of work and his particular to a couple of including perhaps the of – a nerd perhaps mercifully the film ran for only minutes against the claim that its complete length is but the latter could well be a mistake br br i had watched a few other of and this one is decidedly not as satisfying as the most tolerable example i've run into yet bad 1977 and only slightly better than the likes of my hustler 1965 which were mostly a strain to sit through the fact that this was only the first part of a trilogy did not well but as the saying goes you gotta to do what you gotta do and the other two had to follow in quick succession br br despite my generally negative reaction to it flesh is nevertheless still valuable as a 1960s time capsule and as a prototype of the underground scene of that era both and in real life for the record an image of from this film the of the self titled 1984 debut album and candy darling who appears here rather was in candy says the opening track of the eponymous 1969 album although the latter band is my all time favorite and one of the reasons for this is that through their unique and ground breaking music they described a lifestyle so utterly different from my own this is truly a case where i'd much rather experience something instead of visually,negative
i will admit i possibly missed tiny moments when i wasn't paying proper attention but i got enough of the story to agree that it is a great family film from director lionel who played grandpa in bang bang basically it starts with a happy upper middle class family living in victorian london one night the father is visited by two strangers and he leaves with them and does not return they move to a in the country and here the children jenny who i first saw in child's play 2 sally and peter gary warren keep their spirits up with their fascination for the nearby everyday they wave to the passengers in the passing trains and with courage and they also avoid an accident and are made heroes their kindness makes them friends including important people who can help find the mystery of their missing father also starring sheridan as mother mrs bernard as albert william as old gentleman peter as doctor forrest ann as ruth and gordon as russian it was number on the 100 greatest family films and it was number 24 on the 50 greatest british films very good,positive
mike film charlie war set in the 1980's tells the story of how the title character played by tom hanks managed to a war with the by way of the forces of course we know how well that turned out in the long run but thankfully the film does not over the unpleasant after effects br br the cast is star with tom hanks and julia roberts being among the most stars in hollywood as a bonus you've got the versatile philip seymour hoffman in a memorable supporting role one for which he received a not oscar nomination i'm not much of a fan of roberts but hanks is always nevertheless i can't quite buy into him as a drug using although the real charlie wilson seems just as likable as hanks apart from the big three though there's not much worth on even from a recognizable name like amy adams br br the story is engaging and is by a fine script from aaron the verbal interplay between the main characters is excellent and is chock full of memorable lines the later events set into motion by the war are not ignored though the scenes wilson seem to me to be too earnest to achieve the bittersweet feel which was likely intended on the whole direction is and follows the action of the script admirably br br this is a film that like charlie wilson himself has flaws but is nevertheless likable certainly recommended for fans of the three stars and for those looking for an engaging political drama with a light hearted feel,positive
i was a when i watched this film for the first time the next day i knew that all of our form watched it and all were fascinated by the film as i was i think the same situation was in all forms of our school and in the whole soviet union later i watched it every time it was shown on tv and want to watch more i think that comparison with back to the future or other sci fi films is not appropriate is unique in many ways once you have watched it you never forget it br br this film is full of belief in peaceful science achievements full of belief in the beautiful future of our world it's not only the film but also a of many scientific and achievements the time shown in the film is the year 1984 the year of its creation and the year where a has traveled for some time and where his friend was from the year now is 2005 many and achievements predicted in the film are not realized yet such as a device which can read thoughts of any animal and human to and mars as easy as going for a in the weekend creating and of the as a for easy to drive flying machines which completely replaced historical of any kind of material or creature performed in a couple of minutes and many others meanwhile some of them nowadays became much more realistic than they seemed in 1984 just wait for br br the film also depicts typical russian and and does it so naturally with their curiosity humour look for example at you could find such character in nearly all forms of every school of the soviet union similar character was in my form too i myself as well as many my classmates fell in love at first sight with her by the way later an actress who played became a scientist i think she was as much influenced by the film as people who watched it on tv br br beautiful idea beautiful realization beautiful actors beautiful music beautiful song the wonderful far away beautiful beautiful beautiful br br the last thing i want to say is that different remakes and new versions of the song from the film and even the film itself were made later and spread on tv and in the internet all they are not even comparable with the original i should not even comment them my comment is only about the original so request the original and enjoy it,positive
this may not be the worst movie to ever win best picture but its up there well on second thought this is probably the worst film to ever win best picture still though you would expect it to be a worth while film that in fact though if questionable as well the film contains almost no depth and is just fun after fun if you want to call it that at first its very interesting but it seems as if everything is exaggerated on so many levels br br the acting was not spectacular to watch but it was quite interesting seeing charlton heston in his first lead role i found many of the characters like the tone of the movie annoying after awhile who i did like a lot was james stewart as the philosophical clown he to me saved the film in that he gave it a much needed extra sadly though after stewart there was not much else br br the directing of the much respected cecil demille was non existent to me i found the movie corny at times and his use of betty was a mistake the look of the movie was very good at times but it did not generate that magical feeling that classics need to have the writing was actually pretty good considering how shallow much of the movie was br br from movies like this did the term hollywood trash come up there is no depth no valid attempt at drawing emotions out of the audience and simply no artistic value to the film then of course the many holes in the plot throughout this movie was consistently annoying and frustrating i even had a sense through this film that much of what i was watching was not only and inaccurate depiction of circus life but instead the opposite of how it really is why this won best picture is beyond me but its not like the first or the last time the oscars will and have made a mistake,negative

this documentary is not only one of the best documentaries i've seen but also one of the most moving and quietly beautiful movies i've seen period it follows the lives of two young men peter and as they try to make their way into the american culture peter and are friends at first but they gradually drift more and more apart as peter goes to kansas city and stays in a land called beauty is in his eyes he takes people onto his back he supports an apartment full of other paying the rent doing everything for other people he is a quiet peter looks out for himself getting a high school education while playing basketball and making christian friends it seems that director did not know what she was getting herself into with the beauty of this tale peter and are amazing characters that move you but the real strength in this movie lies in its commentary on american society it is not judging it shows the strengths and weaknesses of our world and how difficult it can be to outside people i suggest you find this film and look at america through the lives of these two fascinating and beautiful people br br my grade 10 10,positive
if you liked william in honor he his character as don anthony in mob boss this is a very weak godfather satire with few laughs stuart looks as to what he's doing in this schlock fest morgan performance is one of the better efforts in the movie and that alone is not a good sign for sure eddie between three stooges slapstick and a bad woody allen imitation flawed mob boss is so derivative that boredom quickly comedy and the film drags on with car chases hidden weapons in a restaurant bathroom and numerous other nonsense,negative
i'm sick and tired of people complaining that never say never again is just a weak remake of yes that movie's influence is but the tremendous and almost universal of re made films is reserved for such and films like the 1998 re make of psycho while it's true that the opening theme of the and last bond film is one of the worst of the entire series the film itself still manages to stand on its own despite many other weaknesses besides that even the weak title song is made to blend pretty nicely with the closing dialogue in the film br br sure sean connery was getting a little on in age when this movie was filmed at least by james bond standards but there is plenty of evidence in the narrative that makes it clear that this was not exactly unknown to the filmmakers james bond is near retirement before he is handed his assignment having spent most of recent time teaching not doing and there is even the tongue in cheek from m that he pay more attention to his health and training and getting more exercise and besides this is james bond remember this guy is supposed to be some kind of super human and all of his fans are getting all upset because he's got some gray when this guy at the end of the film m sends poor small in a hilarious cameo from to tell bond that without him he about the safety of the free world and all of you people can't get over the fact that he's not a young man anymore come on sean connery could still play james bond just as good as he ever could or at least better than anyone else ever has been able to br br the majority of the film deals with the elaborate plan to steal nuclear and hold the world hostage as dr evil would say oh hell let's just do what we always so there's clearly not much new there but this is one of the bond films that had the better one liners there's the amusing scene where bond is asked for a – if you could just fill this for from here ' there are a lot of good one liners but the sexual aimed at mr bond are especially prevalent in this installment but then later he happens to throw that very into a face making him scream as if his face were burning off not a very good attempt at comic relief especially since this guy had been kicking ass with some sort of super spring device that could cut through pretty much anything and of course kim basinger stars in this film as one of the best bond girls of the entire series br br it's no secret that never say never again has dated badly and one of the things that has dated the worst is the special effects – with the one exception of the flying which were obviously fake but still impressive for 1982 the colored contact lens at the beginning of the film was totally without effect and the laser watch was one of the worst things in the entire movie second only to those damn sharks evidently put some sort of device on his tank that attracted sharks granted they did have weird of their own in a scene that more than likely inspired the classic line i have one simple request and that is to have sharks with laser attached to their heads ' and then of course there is the exploding hotel room scene which was in an episode of the simpsons and which was obviously followed by another obligatory and overly casual one liner from james br br the video game created by the film's villain is an especially memorable scene and the film also boasts what is probably the best motorcycle chase in the entire series far to superior to the laughable one in tomorrow never dies but despite many strengths the film's weaknesses are left in the audience's mind at the end of the film due in large part to the underwater conclusion one of the more obvious parts borrowed from and never mind the fact that revealed some crucial information to bond as he left him in the tower alive dr brilliance once again i'll just leave him there without actually witnessing his death and just assume everything went to plan what ' the climax of what is expected to be a fast paced action film should never take place in a muted underwater atmosphere br br all in all never say never again ranks very highly on the james bond scale and at the end of the film as well as the two closing lines suggested at the time that he may still return for another turn as bond clearly this is no longer very likely so we can only hope,positive
this movie has more goofs than any other movie i have seen in my life the special effects are damned terrible for instance near the end when the is falling after the door tears off the thing like a toy the special effects of airport 1970 are way better than this crap also the force of a opening up at and speed would essentially turn the thing inside out that is if it would even open at all but the movie has its good points mostly when it ends that's also cheesy e g the thing lands on a bank of loosely packed snow if it did that it would into a million pieces overall 2 out of 10 instant flop great laugh flick,negative
right then this film is totally unfunny has gags from other films has songs from other films blink grand we u an unlikeable leading man a ridiculous plot and lame parodies of films like mission impossible 2 and american beauty redeeming features shannon elizabeth and enough said,negative
death wish 3 is exactly what a bad movie should be terrible acting implausible ridiculous death scenes creepy evil for no reason villains the last 30 minutes of this movie just might be the best 30 minutes ever put on film especially in the scene where the decent citizens string chains across the street knocking down the evil and then shoot them only to be joined by the neighborhood children in celebration and how can i forget the elderly woman with the she's sweeping out the and if that's not enough let's not forget how quickly the give up after is killed i'm laughing just thinking about it br br i also love the death scene of girlfriend he just walks away after seeing her get blown up it's little things like this that make death wish 3 such a bad movie and i'm not even mentioning the bizarre soundtrack br br i watched this movie because of martin who i seriously think is one of the finest character actors ever and who's own getting beaten up by the scene is hilarious and i walked away with a new favorite movie thank you death wish 3 for making me laugh so hard br br some other things i forgot to mention 1 the weird sound effect after says cash when buying his used car ha it's so evil sounding 2 mandy mandy did the writers run out of tough guy names 3 the fact that the gangs apparently have a lend and thug exchange program i need some more guys and that mandy has a working phone line in an abandoned building 4 at the end of the movie after blows up is it just me or does it look like the street gang is about to break into choreography as they're giving up just watch how in sync they are after the female punk gives the stop br br i love this movie nothing cheers me up like death wish 3,positive
this movie gives a cinematic example of the word worthless it's awful you can forget plot or decent acting cause it's not there and with the of any decent story or acting or even the of being frightening then there is usually only one plus left for a horror film the appeal to those who like soft core porn this film doesn't even have that the women show a little skin but not really anymore than say the show except for the main star who is not particularly attractive and has a couple of poor and i mean poor sex scenes so in short if you like good movies you have no interest in this film if you like cheese you still don't have any reason to rent this film if you like and soft core porn you really have no motive to rent this film and most importantly if you value your time in the slightest you cannot do better than to avoid this movie,negative
i can't believe that someone actually paid to have this film made stupid unrealistic and stereotypical right from the take off of the massive the pilot pulled the back to increase speed then you have 5 armed persons with semi to fully automatic weapons firing without so much as one bullet the walls of the cabin at 000 feet then once below in the belly of the plane a stray bullet hits a fuel line and we see the fuel from the side of the plane the acting was just horrid and forced there just didn't seem to be any direction i have seen some pretty horrid b movies in my lifetime but with the names that were in this film i was extremely disappointed,negative
i grabbed la because it reunited jean and whose le is a noir masterpiece i'll give it a few points because is in it but the clumsy plot cheap sets and the ludicrous making like an arab princess put the film on my to shelf if you watch it you'll find yourself asking why didn't the idiots build the around the well instead of a deadly few away from it and why use tin in the middle of the desert but by then the sheer of that makes up the script should you to any further,negative
i finally managed to get myself a copy of opera and i tell you that was about time it was the last movie i had yet to see and i'm a fan of most of his work i that most of his work is extremely important for the genre of horror but some of his movies tend to disappoint like but the plot idea of opera always to me and it turns out i was right i enjoyed every shot in opera and i was fascinated by this movie for the first minute till the last out of all the movies opera went straight to the number one spot and i hope i can encourage as many people as possible to see this one as well br br the script and plot idea of opera is rather simple especially compared to previous movie that had too many ideas in it and ended up being a mess the plot of opera is creepy and chilling but at the same time it's an excellent comment almost a spoof towards the opponents of explicit violence spoilers a young opera singer the gorgeous is being stalked by a horribly sadistic murderer during every massacre he commits he forces betty to watch his actions with her eyes wide open there are attached to her and when she them they're getting torn apart end spoilers to this simple yet effective idea adds a lot of horrific elements like the classic piece and curse of and the whole atmospheric location of the opera building and the music especially the presence of the creepy are and extra value ancient masters like edgar allen poe already knew these black birds have a lot of mystery hanging around them and knows it as well br br the violence and gore is very well presented in opera and that's what makes this a true picture his best in my opinion with as a close second i surely hope to recommend this movie to a lot of people among you especially for fans of the italian horror business this is an absolute must favorite scene shows his visual talent the best in the scene where friend is getting shot in the eye while she's trying to see who's in front of the door,positive
i really enjoyed this movie during the movie i felt that i wanted and captain to get together i heard myself screaming come on kiss her the movie has a happy ending good movie to watch in the evening when you want to chill,positive
thank god for this movie it's a document of talent that three decades later seems even more unique and rare in retrospect br br the music is just extraordinary packed with so much talent in writing performance and production that it's absolutely the lyrics and vocal are incredible the performances by under appreciated talents like carter and woods my spirit every time i hear them while the film may be different from the stage version i prefer the soundtrack to the cast album which i find truly grating and under developed here the are filled out and expanded into dynamic pieces that couldn't have been produced in a stage setting br br but the music isn't the only thing extraordinary about this movie the of almost hyper dialog scenes reminds me of altman films with musical and dance numbers really works all the talent in this movie directing writing photography editing music choreography casting acting art direction perfectly into one of the best musical films i've seen br br i think it's amazing how much we know about the characters in hair based on very little information or plot they're not drawn as caricatures but as realistic and very human people we see little glimpses of where they come from but the portrait is completed by vignettes that draw the characters to the surface through accomplished acting directing and editing there's an theme of the of and which colors their characters by exposing their reckless macho hippie ideology the scene of home life reveals important details about his psychology and the brief glimpse of home tells us volumes about his background through the simple realistic and genuine interaction between claude and presumably his father br br i love the fashion in this movie it mixes sixties ideas with very seventies looks one does have to overlook treat hair it's a document of how much of the late seventies was contrary to the conventional wisdom that the era was all about bad taste tie was a hot trend of 1979 and the hair and clothing of the singers and dancers particularly those in white during the central park scene mixes up the decades in a way that suggests the of the themes these elements with extraordinary state of the art choreography in a way that enhances the artistry of both br br hair isn't a film that cynicism if you come to it with expectations then you're most likely going to be held captive by artists who aren't bound by your rules for me it opened my eyes and ears and spirit to an insightful and passionate musical dialog about war friendship and family that its time and is still meaningful and relevant to me to this day,positive
if you've ever seen open water this is the same kind of gritty edgy indie style of film i liked the action suspense the slow building of it all i just hope they don't do to this one what they did to open water with that sequel but anyways the one thing i didn't like was the annoying younger sister i was rooting for the croc the whole time film starts out pretty much like it should kids up for a trip they hire a guide who mysteriously left 5 mins before they got there so i guess his assistant takes the two sisters and the boyfriend out on the water now mind you this is the second day of their adventure curiously enough the first day they spent at guess hmm a crocodile farm so they are out there and all is good for a little while then bang crocodile time very intense you know something in this movie you don't see the crocodile a whole heck of a lot but when you do gosh it is very scary i love the and eyes and the of fog that seems to the croc every time he raises his head above the water very very creepy but good overall this is a great film if you can get past the annoying little sister,positive
this little known comedy from the hit play by ruth gordon is a delight the script based on the play is rich and completely the cast but i must the work of the leading lady irene dunne irene is simply superb as usual and lights up the screen with every frame she's in and she's in it a lot thank heaven in addition director has given her some unusual close ups that are mesmerizing what a gal i know of no other hollywood actress from any era who has her and is so convincing in every film why she remains so little known is a mystery i have seen most of her films and this one was a surprise even for a solid id fan like myself see it everyone,positive
was in the mood for a french film and saw this at blockbuster what a little gem it turned out to be not sure how i missed all these years but he is fantastic such innocence and grace i love his face and the way he moves isabelle was hilarious reminded me of nicole over the top performance in she looks the same as 20 years ago truly remarkable gerard depardieu has not held up nearly as well but his acting continues to he's perfect in this film will probably buy this one i enjoyed it so much if you want to see another great french movie rent stunning,positive
the of is a fantastic movie it's very true to the original shakespeare play if you saw jeremy in and liked his performance this is a movie for you if you saw joseph in shakespeare in love and you enjoyed his performance this is a movie for you if you saw al pacino in and liked his performance this is a movie for you it is a very enjoyable movie and if you're studying shakespeare like me this is a great movie to see the only problem with this movie is that you can't let the little ones see it because is has a wee bit of nudity in it but other than that it's a really good movie,positive
if anyone at national lampoon is reading this please stop the crap your pulling out of your bum really now why the hell are you doing movies like these they're not funny and watching it for the sexual content is a complete waste of time really it is such a horrible movie you may want to shoot yourself while your watching it i am serious here guys it makes and kumar go to blah blah blah look like an actual good movie and we all know that h k is one of the worst movies ever made it really sucks it really does how bad it is well even losers that actually like national lampoon shall hate this movie they'll want to murder the director i swear to god i hate you national lampoon die already die,negative

shame represents a high point in the career of a master bergman existential study of a couple on the island of dealing with surviving a long war and max von give painfully detailed performances in this spare stark drama the films intensity rests in keeping our focus on the minute intimate relations of his two characters both accomplished musicians trapped in a landscape they have to understand we see the way the of the war and their relationship both characters are forced by the material circumstances of the war to their own sense of in one of the most powerful episodes bergman forces us to reflect on the manipulative power of the cinematic medium by showing us a filmed interview with character that has been re edited and distorted for political effect by one side of the conflict and is used by the other side as evidence of war crimes in a brutal scene br br,positive
my girlfriend and i are really into cheesy horror flicks especially ones with lots of unnecessary nudity when we saw the box cover for this movie at blockbuster we thought it would be a perfect movie for the night we began watching it already not expecting it to be great but thought it would at least catch our interest 20 minutes into the movie we realized that the pace would not eventually pick up and that it was an incredibly boring movie we tried to get into it but the plot made very little sense even after reading the back of the dvd box over and over again the film was shot very dark and it was pretty annoying to try to figure out what was going on in each shot each violent scenes were very hard to make out and you never get to actually watch the violence you're expecting this is definitely a film without motive that was shot poorly and very drawn out each scene was about 20 minute of the same thing and i felt i got the point after the first 5 skip this film and re watch another freddy or jason flick and you'll be way more content,negative
of the board is a ridiculously stupid film from the popular comic top also seen on the 1 collect commercials he plays a surfing who comes upon a man who has a flat tire top helps him out and a few days later discovers the guy's died and has given his company to the comedian even if someone else was in role it still would have been bad the jokes which are constantly throughout are terrible and the idea of a romantic plot twist should have been do not watch,negative
made back to back with nights of the living with the same cast and setting but for certain this one does not have laura much by all i rather like this movie sure enough the storyline and dialogue are but this is so beautifully filmed in such a marvellous setting and i actually like the hardcore i find it at once and exotic and that doesn't just mean there is a black girl and some limp i find the numerous and varied sex scenes very believable even if two are set upon a tree at the edge of the ocean with the waves constantly around the creature does not to appear until half hour before the end and is it has to be said a disappointment still in the time remaining he manages to kill off all but two of the expedition and in the case of the girls having sex with them first or afterwards in at least one case and this film is not as slow as some maintain moreover there are some fine moments of not least the lady scientist and her urge for two and the glorious finale when the two survivors speed off in their boat back at the island they have escaped from and find there is still time for one last act of,positive
i loved this show i was waiting for it to come out on dvd it never has does anyone know how to get the show available on dvd i have lifetime tv and a few others and nothing please let me know if there is a way we can have this series on dvd be first in line to purchase it i really got hooked on this show i do not understand how a bunch of other tv shows are available on dvd but not any day now i am sure there are many of us out there who would love to have this series on dvd or even vhs i thought of the production company has anyone else out there tried to contact anyone for this information,positive
if i had watched this movie when i hit rock bottom i probably would have sunk into the deepest depression of my life and may have been nearly desperate enough to try it the only thing is in the real world when you rob millions of dollars from unsuspecting individuals everything doesn't come up unless you are an investment or government so how does that matter i had been rejected from school after school and it so it is a brilliant topic for a movie and when you give yourself over to the imaginary to let yourself watch this movie without real world it can truly touch someone in that situation and let them know they are not alone overdone completely tears apart the established educational system as we know it really all i can say is that as i am in college now looking back on where i was and watching this movie i can truly appreciate it in a way i never would have been able to otherwise it is juvenile and yes but it is an emotional and uplifting fantasy about freedom and i cant think of a better way to end my night,positive

i have to say this is the worst movie that i have ever watched in my life i cannot believe that i wasted 10 at blockbuster this movie should be burned and who ever thought of it has issues who ever actually spent money to make this movie was insane d this movie has terrible actors and some of the scenes make absolutely no sense well the whole movie doesn't make sense also the part where those men come into the diner department of national that happened to be the worst part of the film how dare they say frank sinatra's name in vain also what is up with those glasses when the guy and girl are in the car and she drinks water you can totally tell that she isn't even drinking also what is up with the freaky dinner guy and everyone knows that you don't stab you slash them,negative
murder by numbers starring sandra is solid work though not particularly compelling i am a big sandra fan and she is effective here as detective cassie who is not very likable and a broken person too however there is a sense of inherent in the story structure it's about the perfect murder executed by two spoiled teenagers richard ryan who is the cool one and justin michael pitt who is the sympathetic geek basically richard and justin kill a young woman because they have nothing better to do on a school night they are very smart and very arrogant which is normally not a bad thing but it just doesn't work here tony script does a great job of the investigation of a puzzling murder and it is truly by the numbers we have these two punk kids their and we just want them to take a fall br br this is not a great exploration into the dark side like of fortune about claus von there are interesting turns in numbers the movie is not so much a thriller but rather a character study of cassie sandra the of cassie her fear of letting people get in with her and her secret past brings courage and strength to a suffering character her partner and sort of love interest sam played by ben chaplin is more a plot than a real character though chaplin does the thing very admirably the other nice touch is having richard and justin involved a strange sexual attraction the most interesting thing about numbers are pitt and br br there are many entertaining twists and turns throughout the movie everything is done very competently i saw the movie about a week ago and in retrospect i like it a little more than i did when i saw it however it is just not inspired work sandra and deserve a lot better and so do we,positive
two page boys working at a radio network go from trying to solve murders to performing in black face in between work shifts jack and sidney miller star in this from 1945 lots of fast talking everybody yells at everybody and the two page boys call the police detective marty played by ralph it's a real at minutes and it has the feel of being adapted from a play since it mostly takes place in a radio station we don't really care about any of the characters which is probably why its hardly ever shown no big deal this was phil second film as director we're not given any clues as to who might be knocking people off so we just kind of follow the police detective and the page boys as they all try to solve the mystery first i'll say no more so as not to give away any spoilers,negative

the love letter is one of my all time favorite books so naturally i was skeptical when i heard it was to become a movie but i liked it i found myself through the entire movie i admit that it isn't a great movie but definitely a pleasant hour and a half i thought that and scott were perfect as helen and johnny just as i them and the town and scenery were just right as well i recommend this film but don't expect too much just enjoy it,positive
this is a forgotten classic of a film and harmony borrowed a ton from it for is good edge is way way better its no secret that keanu reeves isn't the best actor whoever walked the earth no in fact he's a horrendous actor but he was born for some roles ted preston esquire from bill and ted and his role in this film he is perfect as a sort of good natured but very and confused teenager then there's glover i think his performance in this film is the best of his career he is phenomenal as the drugged out character then there's dennis hopper who is perfect as well this movie is simply amazing and if you haven't seen it run out and watch it today its brilliant one of the best portrayals of modern america i've seen,positive
worthless movie a complete waste of time and nothing what i expected it to be the makes it seem as if it is of the american pie genre it isn't rather it is a ridiculous together of that makes the movie seem more like a writing exercise let's try to see how many mix ups we can write in to make what should have been a bad snl skit into a full length feature presentation what is remarkable is that the director's based on their commentary on the dvd take themselves completely seriously i have been a huge fan of the movies that national lampoon lends its name to up to and including van wilder with this one i feel completely cheated in fact i feel i was expecting a van wilder like farce to my college days but instead was served an hour and a half of garbage what lead to my ultimately expectations well for starters the fact that the cast all appear naked with an enormous covering what must be covered on the cover of the dvd add to that the imagery on the back of the case as well as the description and you people into thinking this is a movie that it is not to make matters worse the movie starts off as one might expect it too with half naked drunk college students trying a photo stunt but ultimately this has nothing whatsoever to do with the movie in fact i didn't even realize that the people in that opening sequence where supposed to be the characters in the movie until i was told so by the directors in the commentary don't get me wrong i love plot twists and being surprised by movies but i hate the fact that this movie tries to itself off as something it is not ultimately it does itself a huge artistically though most likely not because it sets its audience up for confusion and disappointment simply because it to deliver what it br br in short do not rent this movie based on what you see on the case it is not your usual national lampoon movie the only thing funny about it is the fact that many of the actors have appeared in other movies and tv shows that make their involvement here entertaining,negative
just as ted kramer dustin hoffman is about to get a break in his professional life his frustrated wife joanna meryl streep finally gets up the courage to leave him leaving ted to care for their five year old son justin henry being a single parent proves to be quite the chore for ted and he suffers but also learns there's much more to life than a career as he continues to bond with and really get to know his own son but then joanna returns and to get her son back which leads to a cruel custody trial br br kramer vs kramer is a superbly well written and acted human drama that will only leave the most cold hearted a viewer growing relationship with his son is so well portrayed and the film never takes an easy way out it always feels very real and thanks to the film's low key approach it makes even more of an impact and can easily work upon multiple viewings the film's dramatic impact does not br br easily recommended 10 out of 10,positive
it's the best film that takes the first place at the and an useful films ever made in this poor country really u people even don't know what the word cinema means and u cast votes for movies i'm really curious to know how many movies of p p p or l have u seen the score of this experiment it reflects a lot of way of understanding things and to recognize a good quality movie when u see it we the romanian people have only one movie and until this day the status hasn't change that movie is but i don't lose my time thinking how many of you have seen it that is a movie that respects all the required of an movie from the script to the frames and even to the quality clarity of the picture even are past over him years i recommend to the voters to search for better movies and then vote kudos will see u later,negative
i first saw this when it came out in the theater though only 13 at the time i was an avid reader of hard science science fiction stories the technical of the film are burned into my memory br br some of the following may have significant spoilers br br even as a i knew the premise is silly the rocket takes off for a mission in a where there is always a effect on the crew though loose objects as in zero gravity and because of that the cabin the area with the controls whatever they called it was to maintain the correct so that when they landed why didn't they land standing on their heads and where at least in near earth space the rocket had to be running continually with away without an when the quit the rocket stopped dead in space and couldn't start going until a determined it needed at a little this time the rocket it had momentum and the next thing our heroes know they're near mars even a 13 year old nerd knew such a minimum energy trip would take over 200 days br br they land find the air was though at the time scientific data revealed that the pressure even if the atmosphere were pure would be too low to do any good they decide to camp outside the ship and even build a they come armed even though they were supposedly going to the moon where wouldn't be needed br br they get a sight of a civilization encounter stray martians who look just like people develop an anti nuclear war philosophy and those who survive try to get back to the home planet and die in the attempt by crashing on the earth to do that would require such a long period they'd have died of long before approaching their destination br br the film it destination moon used real science most effectively even though their rescue with the tank forgot about the moment arm from the center of gravity to the this film showed ignorance of even the most basic science only the most illiterate should think of it as a science fiction film it's on a par with the old flash gordon serials where their took off from their and in and whose were always on br br the story on this one i considered banal and i can recommend this only as a film to be shown to students for them to pick out technical,negative
i go to blockbuster pick out a random movie got this and yeah br br this was a good sexual porno the quality kind of sucked and it kind of gave me a damn headache to me this movie was good for its sexual things but not as much for the horror and suspense it was magical br br the suspense not as good as i would have expected i wanted to be at the edge of my seat hoping to jump up in fear but instead i lay down on the couch and didn't see much br br the quality not really good at all i mean if you pay close attention during when the people are on the cold mountains their barely wearing anything it doesn't make much sense too br br so if your looking for a crap not really suspenseful and a pretty much sexual movie you've got this,negative
i recently had the idea to make a short film featuring a man who is hit by a car and wakes up thinking that he himself is chuck norris this meant that i would have to do extensive chuck research and find out as much as i could about the man i later find out that he is not in fact a man but an angel sent from heaven with a face like that who could ever doubt it i have watched more chuck norris movies in the last four months than any one person should i am proud to say that of innocence ranks pretty close to the top of the all time worst list i spent most of the film wondering if i could return my copy to the local wal mart without the which i had been biting down on to keep myself from my own tongue the biggest reason why i chose to purchase this film was that it not only had chuck in it but his son mike i was anxious to see if mike was a chip off the old can't act his way out of a wet paper bag block i came to the conclusion a long while ago the chuck norris is one of the worst actors in cinematic history for one simple reason the only character he ever plays is himself chuck norris no matter what movie no matter what situation he is always chuck norris the one thing that he holds over his son is that he is consistent mike doesn't seem to understand how human emotions work in the scene where he is talking to the little girl about his dead daughter he seems to be extremely happy maybe this is because he actually pushed his daughter out into traffic as depicted in one of the flashbacks of all time his actions confused me throughout the film making it very hard for me to focus on what little plot there was the other two lead actors were just as painful to watch as the son of norris the guy who constantly wants to eat or tell a stupid joke was simply one of the most annoying characters that has ever the direct to video screen the only thing i remember him being in other than this movie was an episode of walker texas ranger in which he plays an equally annoying character maybe chuck owes this guy something the other guy which is the only name i can think of because he was so forgettable was your average christian fanatic i don't have anything against christians in fact i am one but this guy was just too much for me to round out the story you have a of who love to call people friend and a couple of villains who don't seem to be able to decide which one of them is in charge not to mention the creepy kids who remind me of the dollar store version of every other group of creepy kids in movies all in all the movie is possibly one of the biggest failures of all time on more levels than chuck norris can kick people's despite being one of the worst actors of all time i still can't get enough of chuck maybe he really was sent from heaven,negative
how much longer are we to with this flawed belief that once a director produces great ground breaking work all future work can't be all that bad after all he made such and such br br drive is a case in point and is in fact rubbish the performances are excellent particularly from and but a good film they do not necessarily make what lynch has clearly forgotten is that just making a film unnecessarily only works when it takes the audience by surprise when the audience is expecting the film to not make sense then the film has to have some substance to keep the audience interested lynch succeeds in the first half of the film with the murder mystery set up with lots of twists and red herrings and then the story into a of bizarre and pointless lynch realised how muddled the film was becoming and threw in the lesbian and scenes to the audience awake and to stop the male viewers from standing up and leaving br br watching the film at the preview i was surrounded by who had no more idea of what was going on than i did but left the theatre commenting on the layers and layers of lynch's film making excuse me but these people are the same who stand in art staring at that have been painted white commenting on the courage of the artist at painting such a brave work br br films like these are made because a lynch is on his previous work and b because people convince themselves that film is art and therefore must be good i a number of the about what they actually liked in the film and only response i that wasn't a broad layers type of answer was that they liked it when the chicks got their off br br said,negative
a true comedy the dialog is fast and very witty parker at her physical peak flynn as only flynn can be the charming although now past his prime most of the scenes between the principals are short so the movie moves well if you haven't seen this movie please give a look you will be surprised at comedy timing the scenes between him tucker parker and are hilarious just on the basis of the outfits worn by the most attractive parker this movie is worth a look the romance of this 40's movie will not be lost on those so inclined to watch movies from hollywood's golden past my bet is that never say goodbye won't disappoint,positive
i shouldn't like jackass number two no one should there is and never has been anything particularly redeeming about jackass and yet it's one of the funniest things i have ever seen and i simply cannot explain why br br this new movie leaves the first one in the dust it's so funny so horrible and so wrong the whole team give their all with in chief leading the charge he's nuts i adore him but he's insane and more power to him with his film career he could have sat back and just let everyone else do the dirty work but the fact that he threw himself almost literally back into the world of the so makes me oddly respect him more kudos must go to who previously seemed content to sit back and just make sure everyone around him did pretty much what he wanted here isn't the but the tormented and is all the better for it br br i simply can't say what my favourite part is because i laughed the whole way through admittedly i viewed much of the movie from between my fingers but there hasn't been a movie i've seen in a very long time that made me feel as as this did love them or most probably hate them the jackass team have delivered above and beyond my expectations but i do agree with there can never be a jackass number three because someone will die and i want these guys to stick around,positive
two great stars and a legendary director created a magnificent love story that is memorable and moving on so many levels br br henry king directed jennifer jones in her first hit song of and he again directs jennifer jones in this film and miss jones is perfect in this role and gives a edgy beautiful performance that captures the conflict in the character and bill who hit home run after home run in the with a series of smash hit films beginning with sunset 17 born yesterday country girl and of course river is superb in this role hard to imagine anyone but in this movie i loved the ending and cry every time i see it for anyone who has ever loved and lost you will understand for those who haven't you won't,positive
i went into this movie with low expectations knowing uwe legacy as a film director and screenplay writer and i was still disappointed uwe boll finds a way to make each and every movie he is involved in worse and worse the overall concept wasn't a bad one a man bored with his life as a stock becomes a serial killer but the problem with the movie is there is no in between he goes straight from stock to serial killer the film has no name actors and i can see why after watching the movie i can't see why any actor with a career would want to even be involved in this movie anyone who turned it down did their careers a favor and if you haven't seen it do yourself a favor and don't br br i give a 3 out of 10,negative
this movie although well shot and superbly acted was awful i felt as if i was watching a car accident sure i kept watching but i really wanted to turn my head the plot leaves little to be desired was extremely disjointed and the ending was abysmal although it did fit the tone of the movie i was hoping for something to improve this movie i still don't understand what the references to and the child get bit by the fox at the beginning of the movie fifteen minutes of plot that really didn't do much it's really sad to see a movie with fine actors and a beautiful set wasted on such an awful awful story there's not much more to say about this movie save yourself the time and watch c span it'll be more uplifting,negative
as the old whore is awesome emily grace the young girl is innocent and exciting as she learns whats going down excellent direction and camera story is dark and disturbing supporting cast is good shows what happens and can happen with a run of bad luck great independent film small cast pace is slow at first and then moves good a good movie to show your teen age daughter who has aspirations of leaving home early for the open road and adventure this movie film has a low budget feel to it but it works because of the low and areas that these people move in i will never stop a rest stop again with out thinking of this movie and checking my before i go,positive
if you don't like italian horror you won't like this film on that note br br overall it was a terrible experience many things happened vanessa redgrave was to be in the film and she pulled out one of the actors was crushed by a car i was engaged to be married but by the end of the picture that was finished my father died during the shooting all kinds of things on the making of opera br br i was truly impressed with and the film he made here especially against such harrowing circumstances the whole of and its curse on those who attempt to stage the play adds volumes to opera br br throughout the film some of his most clever and audience directed tricks a young opera singer christina is stalked by a violent psychopath who forces her to watch a series of brutal murders by several sharp to the killer makes it impossible for her to close her eyes take a good look if you try to close your eyes you'll tear them apart so you'll just have to watch everything br br it is clear that put great care into the faux opera on screen and his hard work pays off add to this several brutal murders an incredibly tense chase sequence and the genius use of to portray a certain character the role vanessa redgrave pulled out on thank god and you've got one of the best italian horror films ever created br br that said it's still italian horror why christina never seems to tell anyone about this brutal murders is beyond anyone's some scenes might be difficult for certain viewers to stomach but personally i felt more tension towards christina and her eyes than any of the brutal in the film the finale to had my stomach more than anything in opera but that's probably just me br br and the last five minutes wanted it he filmed it and he's fought to keep it in the film absolutely no one likes it myself included but it's not enough to ruin the rest of the film for me it remains one of best films to date br br 9 10,positive
the violent men is pretty good western that certainly benefits from its excellent cast br br edward g robinson is the big trying to squeeze out the smaller one of whom is glenn ford ford is ready to sell to his may until ambitious brother brian keith murders one of ford's hands then you know what happens next br br barbara stanwyck is along as scheming wife the kind of role in which she foster plays their daughter who comes to admire ford br br the violent men is nothing more than a b plot with an a movie cast but it is very well done,positive
this might have been an excellent flick however as many other people think so do i it is poorly done due to the languages transfer if the entire movie must be read then it kind of takes away from the movie and becomes something else it does have an excellent rating as far as i am concerned and i couldn't wait to rent it but once i did it was a real let down out here in i could not find an english version to anything similar this movie was also compared to dark hours and this we will not get to watch in it is not available so i guess we will never know how good the movie actually was,negative
i really liked the idea of traveling between and i even liked the quinn tension in early episodes some of the worlds they created gave the main characters extremely interesting backdrops for their stories however as the show went on there were more silly among the friends and less of a true bond there was less wonder and excitement when they were involved in other worlds and more and every world had one of the characters falling in love the writing just got boring and everything was way too over the top too bad it would've been nice to have a closely band of friends a la star wars traveling to different on tv for several years rather than a tired band of,negative
and abysmal over the top acting you might enjoy this rubbish flick apparently atomic bombs makes life in about a day or two or according to other viewers wake them up or so it seems and apparently massive atomic explosions off the coast of spain doesn't make anyone ask any questions at all coming to think of it the plot doesn't make sense in any way whatsoever why would evil puppets attack so the going off for no reason at all doesn't stand out too much br br ok getting past this and the fact that the monster is a thing you make of in you may actually be able to stand this but for once the complete lack of gore doesn't help leaving the monster attacks in all their naked rock bottom budget glory br br i doubt you'll be able to watch this though so better stay well away,negative
this is one of the best horror movies i've seen in a while an eerie abandon house interesting characters gore and a twisted plot who could ask for anything more in a horror movie it is pretty predictable for the most part but then again most horrors you can figure out within the first 10 minutes so i won't hold that against it the music camera angles and so forth are excellent the sets are well make and very convincing there was pretty much no subplots however it being a horror movie too many alternate plots only take away from what were wanting from a horror anyhow to be scared this one keeps it pretty simple and does just that if i were to compare it to any other movie i would say it reminded me of the remake of texas chainsaw massacre definitely a horror movie lover must see,positive
br br the last is a superior western that numerous in its tale of jed victor mature gus james and pat hogan and their relationships with the army particularly captain guy madison colonel robert preston and wife anne hired as after losing their supplies to the indians jed gus and to living the life within a on the edge of the last frontier ' jed who has been raised by gus both and looks up to the gus and and has an especially difficult time dealing with civilization ' his real problems start after he becomes strongly attracted to the wife colonel a reckless man who every one around him with his dreams of ruthless victory over any a woman repressed by her station and sense of responsibility loves her husband for what he could be and jed for what he is caught in the middle is captain a brave and likeable man torn among his duty to the army his strong friendship with jed and his fear of the likely disastrous consequences of the br br what makes this movie so interesting as well as entertaining is that in most cases the weaknesses and the strengths of the last are exactly the same elements forget the insipid title and dated music br br first the screenplay almost all of the subplots particularly the reckless colonel have been done better elsewhere but have rarely been assembled with such just when you think you know what is going to happen next this one takes off in a different direction possible spoiler the last being a production movie back in the day the word was taboo it's very surprising that the adultery factor was handled in such a mature manner i expected either jed or the wife to some for their sin i was surprised and a little disappointed the movie didn't exploit that expectation to create a less predictable ending br br second the casting mature is at least ten years too old to play the part of jed the wild eyed innocent raised in the james who plays gus the man who raised is actually five years younger than mature nevertheless mature is very endearing playing a character who is innocent of civilization but is in no way stupid although there were several actors who could have played the role at the time most notably burt and kirk douglas none could have played jed better preston also junior plays colonel missing the and one would expect from such a driven man however preston perfectly captures the sense of honor someone must have seen in to promote such a reckless fool to rank is an especially choice as dark hair has been died blonde and this achieves the same effect as it did for edward and christina sleepy that is i felt conflicted about the character without knowing exactly why i believe the answer is that and have considerably different skin tones and eye shades further has always projected a that borders on here the blonde hair her up a bit though this the 24 year old to stand toe to toe with both the 40 year old mature and the year old preston yep she could be a wife madison walks a careful act as handling a complex role and sometimes dialogue playing a role similar to that of john wayne in madison does a more job at it br br this movie has a type that alone makes it worth seeing it also has memorable performances beautiful and great action and direction i just hope a version is available many have been lost because this movie takes full advantage of that format,positive
2 glass shadow stars as with kicks a karate who helps a cash jolie escape from her creators who look to her and destroy a rival company along the way billy and karen shepherd show up to the duo while jack palance is there to deliver to the duo on the run one of the things that is quite shocking about the cyborg franchise is how the series has managed to have quite prolific and off beat actors in the cast the original had jean claude van damme and don't know her well she was in a bunch of 70's this one has jack palance billy and angelina jolie the third one has william and mcdowell okay so cyborg cast isn't that impressive i've never seen cyborg 3 but i did see this on sci fi channel and must admit i wasn't impressed actually strike that cyborg 2 is an often lovely looking movie it's shot with excellent style and the visual detail make this easy on the eye however cyborg 1 was the same way indeed the movie was directed with a certain amount of style slow motion and music that made it all easy on the eye unfortunately like the first this one doesn't have any new ideas or anything resembling a plot or most of the ideas are taken from blade runner and max so for various reasons the movie doesn't have much to offer beyond it's look another aspect is the terrible acting karen shepherd and billy are absolutely terrible and angelina jolie isn't much better and jack palance come off fine but seriously palance is playing a cyborg warrior and is a karate i guess on the positive side you can't michael of not being ambitious with casting still the movie is dull and i for one lost interest in the story fifteen minutes in also why did they tie it in with cyborg anyway it has nothing to do with it's predecessor which this manages to be worse than br br out of 4 bad,negative
not only was this movie better than all the final season of h lots but it was better than any movie made for tv i have ever seen br br looking at the top 250 i see that only one small screen movie has made it how the grinch stole christmas i think it is time to increase that group to 2 br br i will admit that the original series had several shows that were better than this but i didn't mind i just loved being able to enter the world of the homicide squad again,positive
in reality that happened the royal mother in law and father in law with the couple the day after the wedding and gave her the money in public this troubled young so much that she never forgot the issue we must remember she was only 16 she was so embarrassed that she kept a fear for sex all her life perhaps this began to appear as a trauma also the constant of her aunt and mother in law as you say she kept all her children away from her her teeth and manners which she considered inappropriate for an and when finally went to with her husband and children her daughter died and the mother in law blamed her for that unfortunate and death she never,negative
from 1988 touch of death is probably the most frustrating fulci film i've seen to date me to join the chorus of horror fans who that his films get worse as you get later into his career considering the plot synopsis i was expecting some bloody bad natured fun with this one but for all its bizarre it feels tedious even at a running time of just 80 minutes and suffers from production values and film making craft or lack thereof br br el story a gambling addict widower and rich and strange women he finds via lonely hearts before them in gruesome fashion sometimes eating them or feeding them to animals and stealing their money to keep his at bay sure it's unlikely that just one man would be the host for so much screwed up all at once addict psycho cannibal but this is fulci br br touch is actually the and looking fulci film i've seen there's almost nobody in it even in the background of shots out on the street for instance a who keeps appearing on the film's to warn the non existent cast about the latest out of the most pathetic tv studio on the planet he never even gets to look at the camera because has to read all the off sheets of paper br br some scenes just go on and on with the protagonist to himself about what he's done or what he's about to do but the acting is nowhere near good enough to sustain this kind of thing so the main outcome is viewer boredom the film also looks bland and ugly in general i've read that it was intended to be an italian did it ever screen in that with the amount of gore involved it seems unlikely and it does of crappy old production values br br this is also first into outright black humour but he's just too a director to make it work sometimes cheerful or music is used to play against a gruesome scene for instance while the hero villain is up a dead body in his basement the effect isn't really chilling or funny or ironic anything that you'd like it to be it's mostly just and crappy br br there are of course some redeeming moments of gore that you'll be waiting for while trying to stay awake including the eventual murder by of a woman who just won't quit life even after her face has been totally apart with a bloody great club and a homeless guy who gets a car run back and forth over him about five times the most outrageous element of touch however is all the physical on the by the crazy guy hairy messy it's not like he sought out women with these features it's just the way all lonely hearts are apparently there are plenty of shots of mr crazy secretly while he's up these women the black humour of such might have some staying power or if the film wasn't so poorly executed in general in the end touch of death just seems like a really lazy mess,negative
i got this movie with my bbc jane austen collection 5 dvds of old bbc adaptations and didn't like it at first it's completely different from the others and it lacks or so i thought one of the qualities that i enjoy in all other austen movies cheerful common sense the nightmare scene in which mrs richards apparently her fingers together was especially br br i still don't like to watch the finger scene but i do love hearing mrs r saying while she my only my this movie is now my current austen favorite i've watched it 7 or 8 times so far the acting to my mind is incredible the way i notice good acting is when i find myself looking up from whatever i'm doing though not my fingers together hopefully or or whatever in order to watch the character deliver his lines it's the turn of expression the cast of that make the words come alive that's what makes good acting as far as i'm concerned br br well i watch almost every part of because almost all the actors play their roles with such charisma peter is amazing as mr the perfect blend of and real hero you're not sure until the end whether he's after money or not i love his touch of accent mr and mrs richards are charming the combination of their especially mr high voice to his wit and wisdom makes them so real general as the hard hearted father who may possibly be a murderer is fascinating too and captain the who is so clearly enjoying himself and the sister and brother whose names i can't currently remember the two of them are so perfectly at once smart and smarmy br br the other reason i love this adaptation is that it is the most romantic of all the jane austen adaptations i know this was one of weak points well it is as far as i am concerned even though all her novels are love stories it's hard to feel that her heroes and are really in love at the end and if they're aren't really in love then what's the point all the other adaptations i've seen other than the early olivier one have pretty cold fish kisses at the end if they kiss at all i don't at all like sex in movies but it really is necessary to have a heartfelt kiss in the end and the ending kiss in is a br br the over the top approach to costumes music and lighting work very well as far as i'm concerned and the script is extremely clever the way we are educated about gothic romance in bath normal country upbringing etc is very well done as they usually are in bbc productions also i like the part when the little black page does the and the i think was an entirely appropriate and very clever device br br some people have that this version is the opposite of what jane austen intended to do in she meant to make fun of gothic romance not promote it but i don't think she meant to put mysteries of etc down she was just making the point that you need to between reality and fiction and this point is made when mr catherine in his mother's room besides general was a villain albeit a one that point was meant to be made surely,positive
i had always wanted to see this film and the first three proved i hadn't waited in vain but what the hell happened in the end i mean don't get me wrong i liked the film it definitely made me nostalgic of the realistic unique nyc of the 80s that we have lost thanks to but it's missing another half hour,positive
nurse betty was definitely one of the most creative movies that's been released lately it was funny but it also had many touching moments freeman rock kinnear the rest of the cast made their incredibly weird characters seem real the story took such twist turns that made it incredibly enjoyable to watch if you're sick of the recent formula movies see nurse betty for something completely different go see this movie in the theater or at least rent it when it comes out,positive
this picture was released in may of 1979 starring playboy susan as honey playboy lisa london as o'hara and playboy pamela jean as in one of the most delicious comedies in drive in history a of young all come together in a tale of battling sisters who will stop at nothing to bare everything so what does h o t s really stand for you're going to have to watch the movie to get the answer you see the girls are having there problems with the society girls on campus that make them out to be nothing but sex therefore the girls set out to the society girls no matter what they have to do to get the job done in addition cut up in this mess is the dean of the college who wants to the group of girls before they grow out of control i loved this movie especially lisa london i thought her acting was fantastic and i'm disappointed that she didn't get other acting jobs based on the three alone i give this movie 10 stars,positive
what should have been a routine gig at a secluded lake house turns into a night of terror as high school student jill johnson belle receives threatening phone calls from a sadistic stalker while trying to stay one step ahead of him br br the first 20 minutes of the original film were pretty good but it was all downhill from there the remake takes those first 20 minutes and stretches them into an 80 minute feature film that's a good idea because its everything that made the original bad however if they wanted this film to work more effectively then they should have hired a better lead actress better director writer etc there's no suspense everything can be figured out long before it happens and it's a very dull film since not much happens at least there isn't much to sit through since its less than 90 minutes br br if this premise were to work then the lead actress has to give a realistic performance belle gives one of the worst performances i have ever seen and throughout the whole movie she seemed to be reading her lines you get a lead role in a hollywood film that will be viewed by millions of people and you give no effort at all why did they hire this girl sure she's pretty but she can't act at all yet i suppose this won't matter to the target audience who will most likely eat this film up the rest of the cast is bland and forgettable especially the woman who plays the maid even the stranger was lame and his lines on the phone were not effective at all br br this movie reminds me of last years disappointing horror film boogeyman that movie was a bunch of cheap scares and false and when a stranger calls is pretty much the same jill enters a room because she hears a noise but its just a false alarm like a cat or the maid this type of scene happens over and over again until finally after about 50 minutes the stranger appears he has to be one of the killers ever he carried no weapons and didn't seem to pose much of a threat the ending is bad but it matches the rest of the film so it doesn't really matter the film is directed by simon west and he is really bad at building up suspense he was using every cliché he could think of and the results weren't very good the house was amazing and i'll give the film credit for that it was an isolated house so it was pretty creepy but that's about the only good thing this film has to offer in the end if you're not a teenage girl then you should skip the movie rating 2 10,negative
the sequel is exactly what you will expect it to be and it is good enough that everyone who would have wanted to watch this should leave it happy br br this is not a movie that will win an academy award but it does take what made the jackass tv show and original movie a success and it turns it up a notch it is funnier more brutal and more disgusting than the original and i loved every minute of it br br the original had a few notorious stunts and there is at least one stunt that this movie will be remembered for you will cringe look away and laugh very very hard br br in any event you probably do not need to read this review or any others to know if you will like this movie unless you have never heard of jackass,positive
apparently this was an award winner apparently someone had a gun against his her head and was force to the movie br br or this must have been a mistake br br this is the most unwatchable movie ever made the screening and the editing is the biggest horror of this movie two little girls get lost in a and get stalked by someone who can be heard laughing under his rubber mask the little girls run into their hero dad and then runs away from him w t f the hero dad in the movie keeps losing track of them in the few minutes of watching this br br the girls obviously weren't trained actors and had no common sense to them they were so annoying and so in the movie it not even remotely comedic hearing them scream over and over again like a broken record was the reason why i got up and left you can't even listen to this movie without nearly going into br br i can a better award winner than this garbage,negative
i saw this a good while ago but i just cant get over it i have looked everywhere to try and find out where i can get a copy of it but i have not been able to get a hold of it i really this movie and if anyone has any info about how i can get a copy then let me know,positive
well the movie did turn out a lot better than i expected it's not boring and it's not unoriginal it's really not a silly romantic comedy the situations the characters put themselves in are very unusual of course we're still talking about a movie but the main characters are indeed plausible donald is of course an exaggeration but he's just a in the movie a means to prove something the ending isn't one of those ridiculously happy always the same moral containing pieces of crap you can usually see in movies of the genre i genuinely liked it and i'm hard to please when it comes to this particular genre of movies it's worth a watch besides it's better directed than other movies the story line always stands up the characters themselves stand up and they do not experience this change and love is not revealed to them like a holly god given at the end of it all you actually see yourself going through it all the movie makes you feel something you may even learn a thing or two it's not the usual hope producing idiocy it's a good movie not a prize for women around the world,positive
a stunning and thoughtful observation on modern life for youngsters in japan like of sand into issues such as rape homosexuality and angst in a subtle and significant way it gives an insight in to the youth culture struggling to define itself outside of the of their generation with it's strict and typical to japanese cinema often what isn't said is more important that what is so to those not in japanese film and culture beware it can seem dull and pretty much like every film to come out of japan bar if you don't know what to look for i saw it for the first time when i was 15 and was what originally my interest in japan it's culture and language considering i'm now 22 and learning japanese with the intention of living there for 2 years needless to say it's a powerful film enjoy,positive
watching this film made me wonder just why was universal putting out films like this they had a wonderful string of films with all the classic horror films the of the atomic age brought on an of giant creature films ants praying with the deadly we have a giant praying flying around the and being by the armed forces the bug reaches a tunnel in new york where the soldiers eventually destroy it of course this is all made much more watchable by viewing it on who thought it was a good idea to start the film out by showing a giant map,negative
great comedy from charlie chaplin i've seen 4 major films gold rush city lights modern times and the great dictator and i think it is easily the funniest of the four this movie had me laughing more than almost any other i've ever seen from the very opening any similarity between the great dictator and the shop owner is purely the movie is a laugh a minute with a blend of wonderful slapstick and verbal humor and at the same time chaplin manages to portray the of maybe a little short on the ending and the lasting of the subject matter but easily a 9 out of 10 for me,positive
this movie came out about the same time as pretty woman while the general theme is the same wealthy man meets and learns to love a poor working class woman the characters of and juliette are much more lovable and worthy of our time with them i have never forgotten them and consider the movie superior to pretty woman in so many ways juliette is a remarkable woman and the clever ways she helps her boss overcome his problems will make you cheer the final scenes contain some of the most memorable lines in romantic comedy the efforts makes to win the love of juliette the climbing scene of pretty woman a hundred times over see this movie it will warm your heart,positive

imagine the worst thing that could ever possibly be conceived by human intellect now imagine something infinitely darker i mean worse than that then that by the of the possessed by the star wars holiday special this movie is by far worse than that br br dracula 3000 darkness starring such and actors such as and as the film's horrifying antagonist count is to eating one's own exclusively for one's entire life into approximately one hour and twenty minutes to be frank there is no way to approach a review of this cinematic tragedy with communist propaganda promotion of drug use futuristic and quite possibly the worst special effects since the original war of the worlds br br the hammer and the of the soviet union can be seen proudly displayed throughout the sets they dare call a spaceship can be observed on several posters throughout the film and of course religion has been for two centuries by then so they don't know who this god is even though they have no about using his name in vain but of course in the republic of space over by president baker death stick like drugs are and quite common yet seems even worse off than it is today they don't even have a wheelchair br br racial tension still throughout the galaxy in quite a familiar predictable fashion we receive great commentary on ethnic division through lines such as is dracula a us gotta stick together and once you go black you don't go back speaking of the token black characters one is played by playing a stereotypical becomes possibly the most annoying and ridiculous vampire ever oh wait second most ridiculous vampire ever that title goes to our friend count from planet in the system these two make quite a pair between attempts to a strange attempts at making high pitched animal noises a years old and gigantic stretches of completely worthless dialogue and count twenty dollar generic halloween style vampire costume exploding or inane back story br br one wonders if they did not simply give the opportunity to get as high as a in space without gravity let him interact with the other actors and just went from there br br count motivations are also somewhat in question does he want darkness as the film's would have you believe does he want to eat the crew or does he want to kill them all or does he desire to give handicapped people a chance in such an future it doesn't really matter because none of this film's plot makes sense anyways br br the highlight of this movie has to be it's ending more for the fact that it means the movie is over than by any merit of the abrupt of a climax they phone in before the credits instead of facing count off in some sort of duel the closest we get is a shot of around at in front of our protagonist who dies shortly afterwards our heroes beat him by cutting off his arm in an ordinary door then proceeds to collapse in pain at a totally mundane yet understandably painful injury this is by far the most fun you'll get from this movie watching a face as he cries in pain will have you on the edge of your seat with laughter almost worth the four bucks for that alone of course right after that we're treated with one of the film's worst one liners the mandatory to sex and perhaps the most abrupt excuse for an ending ever they're driving into the sun and their ship literally just blows up before they even come remotely close to impact i think they just the bros for the worst finale ever br br i can only sleep at night because we know that a sequel is impossible secure in this fact we can safely say that this is the worst movie ever created and one which will never be in low quality lower budget and lower acting talent,negative
mgm tried pairing up and coming young men with the divine one to give them exposure and try them out as leading men gable and garbo had chemistry in susan but it was a lousy film here in inspiration there is no chemistry whatsoever between garbo and robert and the script is poor as well what were they thinking the modern fast talking wise crack and the long suffering garbo it is a tale like young student falls for woman of the world and is by learning of her past rejects her takes her back rejects her you get the picture garbo is completely believable as a top model and completely at home although bored with her life at the top of society amidst her artistic friends and their loose morals suddenly she is fascinated by this innocent she finally gives up her life for him and sinks into poverty only to be rescued by him and set up in a house of her own ironically he to marry and keep her on the side so much for his pure moral of earlier br br the scenes are incredibly dull and boring and nothing much happens only as is able to life into the proceedings with such lines as unfortunately weak women have strong and where is br br only for garbo fans,negative
what can i say not much to this one at all pretty dull and uninteresting br br the actors performances are just ok the only one that shines in any way is simmons but he only has maybe 3 scenes i understand that by keeping his screen time to a minimum he the mysterious psychic aura he has but i can't help but feel his talent was wasted no one else rose above mediocre br br the story itself seems like it may be intriguing at the beginning but then just doesn't go anywhere there wasn't a single scene in the movie that impressed me or made me feel like i had just seen something special the cinematography was fairly bland i mean desert in a washed out sort of not very inspiring br br the story of his childhood pal back outta prison seemed only partially thought out and didn't really add anything to the story other than making an average script into a full length feature br br drab,negative
the starts late one night as brother's josh joshua miller kyle jason are camping outside with their cousin michael sean they decide to pass the time by telling scary stories br br first up is michael with a story entitled in which a young boy named danny ian fried is at school however the sinister new janitor mr james karen decides to help him out br br next up is kyle as he tells a strange story called in which an overweight bully with a worrying fascination with dead flies gets what he deserves in a horrible twisted way br br written directed by brian peck the didn't do much for me i doubt it'll do much for you either the script is strange as far as episodic go instead of the usual three or four stories it only has two main tales a few bizarre type mini scenes at the start these consist of the person who orders food from a fast food restaurant only to find a dead rat in her chicken a man who dies of a heart attack on a ride someone who tries to dry her off in the only for it to explode i have no idea what the purpose of these scenes are but they add nothing to the film as for the two main stories they are both weak for a start they are too long which is a huge mistake in these types of films usually the stories in are short sharp quick with a nice twist at the end usually involving people getting what they deserved however in the the stories last for the best part of 40 minutes each which is longer than the average tv episode i must admit i found both stories very boring they have very little going for them seem to be aimed at children the first story is the better to watch as a whole but it has no twist ending as far as i could see while the second one has a nice ending but the build up to it is weak drawn out for no good reason i really like horror anthology films so the comes as a disappointment frankly it lets the genre down br br director peck was obviously working on a low budget as a whole the is pretty tough to sit through there's plenty of continuity errors it's poorly made there's no atmosphere there's no scares there's no gore the special effects are poor it features unnecessary shots of a dirty toilet several times overall it's a pretty unappealing film to sit through br br technically the is rough around the edges to say the least the effects are far from special it has an extremely drab grainy look to the picture the acting is poor no ones going to win any awards thats for sure br br the is a poor film it's not scary it's not fun it's not entertaining it only features two overlong stories definitely not recommended,negative

i bought this movie at a store months before my friend told me about it when we were talking about dumb movies we've seen once i spotted the i knew i had to have it i watched it that night i could tell it was going to be very cheesy and cheaply done that's what drew me to it i popped it in and i laughed the whole way through i recognized gregory the ice cream man but i didn't recognize his name and i couldn't remember where i saw him later while watching the andy griffith show clint howard ice cream man was featured as an extra since he is ron howard taylor 's brother i saw the credits and i i turned to my mom who was also watching the show and said that's the ice cream man she too this movie is great but only for laughs and it is the perfect example of a cheesy horror flick if you feel like laughing as well as fun at low budget movies rent this video,negative
ah here it is a movie which is said by people to remind me of the epic was i a fool to believe that and how my hurt after having forced myself to watch this c p from beginning to end after the first 10 15 minutes i just wanted it all to end or at least they could've put some nudity or action or cool acid house music into it to make it worth the time but no when i was through with it i put it into my cd shelf and i hope i will never have to pick it out again just to show it to some friend who is so anxious to see it that he she don't want to listen to my,negative
i'm starting to wonder if all these pg 13 horror movies are just screen for young and talent get a first time screenwriter an inexperienced director a few tv actors looking for their break and see what they can do a stranger is a little better than most such recent offerings but is still completely by the book with plot holes and genre clichés br br the story is unbelievably simplistic the slim minute running time is heavily padded with friends and a pointless cheating boyfriend the killer is devoid of even the token motivation of jason or michael or even the original movie's killer and as a result is never particularly frightening the police behave in such an unbelievably and lazy manner as to verge on professional simon west brings the same attractive to proceedings that he managed with lara but his style of directing is decidedly generic no of real talent or vision the performances are routine dark replace genuine horror and the scares are of the tired cat in the closet variety br br the cinematography and production design however are above average for this kind of film the house is beautifully designed all dark wood and and there are a few moments that are of visual interest br br though lacking an ounce of dramatic originality it acts as a reasonably satisfying thriller and maintains interest longer than most of its,negative
action packed with my favorite type of creature i won't give any of it away if you seen it cause it's worth taking the time to sit down and unravel in the mystery of things as presented in this film it did gets slow at times and those were the moments my mind wondered which does easily anyways but of it kept me quietly thrilled where you keep it in your head instead of letting it out probably the mood i was in at the time special effects and action sequences you could feel made up for the occasional of course a of movies out there exactly like this the film still has it's own style and flavor which i respect from underground independent horror movies anyways,positive
for all viewers out there who have john waters for creating a film like pink just stop it's getting you nowhere has anyone ever cared to stop and think about the ambition and dedication mr waters possesses to gather your best friends up and to create a movie just to gross out thousands of viewers all over shows this man has a great deal of ambition inside himself just read his biography shock value it the he went through to get this film finished maybe it wasn't just the fact that john made this film to gross people out it was to prove that there can be something such as good bad taste,positive
the angels did come out the losers in this movie sonny stated to the director that nobody does this to the angles and gets away with it his version was the two were to be to death but his suggestion was ignored they were to even appear much less be technical in a stink bomb of a movie like this angles on c'mon although in autobiography he says f k and that if they was smart they would be riding read his auto he hates can you imagine the angels into town on their machine sounding not too they would get laughed out of town,negative

the french people are not known to be great movie producers br br though their scores high points at the oscars et is a very different film of what i am used to from the french it is a great movie especially for kids the only thing that me was that it was spoken in french and normally with the english spoken movies here in the i don't have to read the subtitles but with the french language you just have to read to understand the story it self is just great with who doesn't recall him self of fat but there also nice details mainly in names like and you all know the story from the comic books and this movie shows all most slide by slide the book every thing is in it from the nose till pirate red lose of three more ships i would say a great movie for the weekend with the children,positive

all grown up is basically a spin off and not much else of the original cartoon that featured the babies tommy and phil and later sister and brother i grew up with and thought it was a great cartoon it had excellent humor nice stories and the show's creators were obviously very original and creative with the concept of the adventures of babies the new show all grown up tries to the magic of the original cartoon i was disappointed when i saw it i found the all grown up just annoying and the whole pre teen acting mature trying to be popular that applied to unfortunately all of the characters dull and washed out there still are some funny scenes and jokes in the new series and it was interesting how the artists would make the whole baby gang of look ten years from their age in the original show overall this show is and only watchable if a you're a die hard fan of the b have never seen the original show c you're a pre teen that has nothing to do or d your so bored that your somehow forced to see this show this show is not that good it doesn't compare to the older episodes in quality humor and everything else,negative
one of the most entertaining of all silent comedies is short a mad tale of how a intellectual board game could even the most carefully planned central such an comedic subject as chess found an earlier in this delightful short two young men play the game against an artificial background a painted set this is in contrast to earlier shorts such as or du the human activity was deliberately framed by a natural setting the difference in activities natural feeding baby garden artificial chess is possibly significant br br the main contrast in this film is between this background and the game of chess and the fierce passions this latter causes as of cheating lead to a most the intellectual game becomes a gross physical just as the of arty filmmakers are forever by the demands of audiences br br what is most amusing about the film is not this descent into slapstick but the way it is filmed its long after the initial joke has been made the way the camera refuses to the fight with anything like attention focusing instead on the set while we catch glimpses of feet and clothing the film's to edit is so that the humour seems to from something else other than the fight our need for physical contact over intellectual our to let go br br what is especially brilliant is the denouement as these upper class are caught by the who picks them up like two as if he is about to box their ears if masters can't be expected to keep their place with than going to have to do it for them,positive
the are flying is a superb film winner of the golden palm at cannes film festival it has an excellent cinematography and performance by the only russian actor ever to win an award in cannes for a performance she plays a teenager in love with her boyfriend happy and without with plans of getting married her life will get upside down when world war ii strikes and her boyfriend to the army the film depicts the effect of war on a teenager love and on the people that stayed and saw their loved ones go and fight waiting for a letter or other information it is a portrayal of lost innocence does a magnificent job and her character transformation will break your heart the camera movement is fast with a lot of close ups it is a dancing camera the first scene in the stairs is fantastic but it isn't the only one there is later a scene when attempts committing suicide and another in my opinion one of the most powerful scenes in movie history the bombing of house when she runs the stairs in the middle of fire to find her apartment completely destroyed simply great 10 out of 10,positive

stan laurel it's been noted first made a real name for himself by appearing in short parodies of popular feature films in the 1920s he certainly demonstrates himself to be an excellent comic actor and performer here in mud and sand a parody of blood and sand but i think a film like this really works not because laurel was a great but because it allows the audience to jump into the comedy already familiar with the situation and scenes laurel can then let loose with his inspired gags without either having to create context or to do without it i watched this the day after watching blood and sand itself it certainly enhanced the experience to know what was being and where br br the scene where character if you believe the title cards or if you believe how his name gets written on the board his mother out of money with a two for you two for me trick is funny on its own because it's a great gag but it's extra funny if the viewer is aware how it is taking the air out of and melodramatic promises to give his mother any she desires br br this is the best stan laurel solo work i've seen it's just plain funny even more so if you have had a chance to see the source material,positive

this show is absolutely ridiculous yes of course its fake but it is to watch i personally know more creative film influenced minds that could make this seem real the young lead male couldn't be more unconvincing he line reads everything he says are we really suppose to believe he knows what he is talking about there is a of ways to blair witch this show up fear does not breed from what seems cool and computer generated nor does it generate from such proverbial lines as what was that did you hear that also there are real convincing out there that don't just want to be on screen another duh factor is how do these producers think we are actually going to buy that activity will just magically happen within the 2 possibly 3 days if we are lucky they film i don't think so a 2 week at one site would be more convincing it is also that they think including radar and that show fancy really make us scared and ie should not be staged like the film the exorcist when are they going to get it right possession of the devil or other evil spirits influence people differently they don't just and lower their voice like linda blair or around like love on a drug as stated better on psychic ability would aid this show greatly we want to see and hear everything that flashes before them not cut away to other story on a final note shooting stars do not generate interest when you showed fake pictures of ahead of time might i stress again the young dark haired man that this show is absolutely down right awful avoid this show for fright watch old mystery episodes not the new ones the recreation got it oh so wrong but that is for a different,negative
who doesn't love the muppets impossible it is to watch them without getting some kind of warm fuzzy feeling inside so i guess what's important is that this movie seemed to very successfully capture what makes the muppets so special i don't remember much about the details of the plot but the various moments and characters in the film i recall quite in fact there was quite a nostalgic atmosphere to the whole movie but without being self conscious in any bad way refreshing for someone who possibly gets too hung up on details and technique the magic all that other stuff indeed what movies are made of br br so how does the film achieve these things hmmm nice question am i let's see really i feel like it's quite simple the filmmakers believe in their material and don't take themselves too seriously in the process i probably wouldn't say the film has many truly inspired moments but it does have a certain life to it that enough a great many real people movies lack a you really want to believe in these funny little people and their adventures they also have a certain innocence about them that makes them all the more endearing br br generally i get the impression that the people that made the movie just weren't afraid to try whatever felt right to them at the time which gives the whole thing quite a loose feel kind of like a really accessible and enjoyable extended jazz session lots of talent little predictability and plenty of warm personalities coming through the cameos were of course a bunch of nice surprises for instance maybe i don't feel i have much to say about it because i was half asleep when i saw it and or as i write this review anyway i'm sort of semi repeating myself here but i really liked the sense of family the movie had full of love i suppose you might say again a feeling of nostalgia comes to mind which not many films manage to achieve so effectively or effortlessly br br and to repeat myself once more one of the film's best charms is its very relaxed and atmosphere like the quote about happiness being like a so the muppet movie greatly succeeds partially by not seeming to try to do so same with beauty being best or or or something like that anyway if that sounds sappy i also it was pretty hilarious br br so all in all this movie was very funny touching and difficult not to smile along to plus it features lots of great music highly recommended to all humans both the young and the young at heart,positive
oh dear oh dear oh dear br br to think that films such as this were made and probably enjoyed by thousands at drive ins really the mind how innocent we were in those days br br to put it this film is crap the hero is so wet you can hear his footsteps in every scene my lord but he's just one of a whole slew of awful awful actors that appear in this turkey no wonder mst3k picked it the story such as it is around a stock car driver who is so incompetent you really believe it is the actor driving the car that he gives up and gets in with the wrong crowd scary stuff however the wrong crowd turn out to be the biker equivalent of the three stooges and their hand me round slut of a biker chick as an example of how lame this whole thing is the writers obviously their brains to come up with a frightening name for the biker gang if four people can be called a gang that is the result the gang is called angels i kid you not br br such dire acting and dialogue along with ridiculous scenes make for a wonderful beer and movie but otherwise its just the worst kind of rubbish br br as i said once this may have been considered good but today it just makes you laugh and cringe with every minute that goes by avoid it except for a good laugh and make sure you're more than half drunk too,negative
first of all i have to say that i am not generally a big fan of werewolf movies in general it's not that i don't like them just that i don't like them a lot there are some that i have enjoyed werewolf of london stuart walker an american werewolf in london 1981 john and some that i have thought were okay but nothing special the wolf man 1941 george the howling 1981 joe dog soldiers 2002 neil marshall are some examples but overall the werewolf sub genre is not my favorite but i had this one on one of those 50 movie sets so i thought i'd give it a watch and see how it was br br spoilers follow br br the mad monster is a werewolf tale but the werewolf is primarily used as a vehicle for revenge by a mad scientist dr cameron george dr cameron has discovered a way to human beings into specifically wolves but was and by the greater scientific community forced out of a position he goes mad and plots revenge on those who him in an old country mansion where he lives with his daughter the lovely anne and his assistant glenn strange of limited mental abilities using his serum dr cameron transforms into a werewolf and sends him off to kill his old rivals eventually though the werewolf gets out of control and both the mad doctor and his creation are killed br br the movie also plays out somewhat as a murder crime drama with journalist johnny downs investigating the doctor's strange behavior and the of murders the story seems to borrow many elements from other big pictures that came before it there are of frankenstein 1931 james whale in the creation of a monster which runs amok and the creature killing an innocent child visions of dr and mr hyde 1931 or the 1941 victor version and the wolf man 1941 george also come to mind and that is one of the problems with this movie in my view it comes across as a mediocre of some great films it doesn't add much to the genre br br true there are some redeeming qualities george performance was convincing and the scene showing dr talking to his visions hallucinations of his works well for me in showing his insanity there is some reasonable character build up at least in the case of his character but glenn character is not at all convincing and seems to have this comedic quality whether intentional or not i'm not sure that just doesn't fit into the movie as a whole br br i seemed to like it more than most imdb users based on my rating of 4 10 but it was still a below average film perhaps worth a view if you are a fan of early werewolf movies or a big fan of the 1930's and 1940's horror films but unlikely to appeal to you if you are not,negative
film about film making shows the intense and strange relationships that can develop between directors their actors the manipulation and mind games the of performers as in any sexuality matters but here to the degree as they are filming a sex scene br br absolutely fantastic performances from colin as the fragile wannabe macho male lead and anne as the director's self portrait the image of her laughing eating a banana at the end having finally got what she wants out of her puppets is pure delight,positive
this is a movie that should be viewed and treated as a piece of art this is an oblivious of love by the brothers about the life of that is full truly artistic elements the movie jumps from color to black and white past to present fictional works by to him all without being confusing in the least bit the only thing that gets me is that the entire movie with the exception of the spoken parts is in japanese still a masterpiece that deserves an audience but hasn't found won if you are reading this this is a film that should be released under your with as much extras as possible this film deserves more 10 10,positive
wonderful movie adult content lots of erotic scenes plus excellent music and dance scenes my wife and i absolutely loved this movie and wish they'd make more like it,positive
if i'm to like a movie i need to care about the lead characters and what happens to them in this waste of a film i found myself hoping that they would all die in the end none of the characters are people that you'd ever want to meet they all made me sick if not for a few nude scenes i would have given this wretched movie a 1,negative
2001 a space odyssey is set in 2001 and the main character is hal a computer that's right a computer who talks and thinks entirely on its own this was made in 1968 and to think by 2001 it would be that computers would talk is a joke if this was in a talking computer that had emotions and made its own decisions would be considered just as moronic as this there is nothing in this film that any kind of emotion it two reactions and one is called sleep it starts with nothing but a pitch black shot for well over two minutes then the first shot we see that has some kind of lighting is the dawn of man sequence so if it's in order the prior to this is the birth of the world br br during the dawn of man sequence out of no where a huge comes out of the ground from the sky we'll never know where it comes from but for one reason or another it's there the monkeys go t once they find this that only man could have made but that's the man hasn't evolved yet so who made it and where did it come from what is its purpose the monkeys find a tool the monkeys use bones to fight an group of monkeys the monkeys with the weapons are now the group because they have used their mind to gain an advantage the more advanced monkeys and more importantly smarter and more innovative monkeys are the dominate group as they have taken over the hole br br we quickly jump into space millions of years later where we see a bunch of floating around to classical music we can see the earth the moon the sun the universe and for a film made in 1968 the visual effects are stunning but outdated the score is legendary the cinematography is spectacular the editing is atrocious there are countless shots of looking space ships floating in outer space for what feels like an amount of time once we board the ship there isn't much to talk about for the next hour kubrick shows various shots of life in outer space kubrick shows us the life of an astronaut which is very boring and we completely get the message the interior and exterior are and outdated looking remember what the first cell phone looked like me neither but that's what the future looks like in 2001 all the characters have clothes and that resemble 1968 the are in bright red colors and oddly shaped because we all know in the future we're going to be sitting in weird looking the computer screens are hideous looking and this is obviously prior to because the clarity is atrocious all the tv sets look like they're from 1968 so it's not all that futuristic like all films set more than 20 years in advance they look terrible and unconvincing just because this is kubrick we shouldn't say well that's how you would think it looks no i wouldn't just like i wouldn't think a computer would be talking to me in the year it's not going to happen and if someone made a film right now set 30 years in time and had a talking self thinking computer i would laugh at the stupidity of it just like i did with 2001 br br hal is the person i just called him a person hal is a computer but he has more life than any of the muted characters in the film and he actually thinks he's alive hal is the only thing that's lively and he sees the humans as his men taking care of him while he does all the work hal reads the lips of one of the very few conversations between dave and frank and he sees that they are planning to turn him off this is where the only dramatic part of the film enters an ensuing battle between a red light and a guy in a spaceship trying to get into the bigger spaceship oh the drama once hal thinks he has the upper hand dave makes his way back into the spaceship proving mans dave proceeds to hal hal for his life as he slowly fades away which like everything else seems to take forever br br the final act is just as tedious as the first two once again the that the apes found appears at the end it comes out of nowhere again then an is born in a like shield the earth from space what is kubrick saying is it about transformation dave to an is man again is kubrick saying this is the end of man and the start whatever that alien looking thing is maybe i'm going crazy trying figure out what this crazy director is trying to say but the more i think about the more the beginning and the ending make sense there are so many questions left unanswered especially for the purpose of the if you can make it through the film it should spark some thought br br in the end the film struggles with getting to where it wants go the first act and the third acts are strong but the second act around in one place for what seems like eternity there is some intriguing stuff in the film that will some thought if you give it a chance once the start of the film makes sense the ending works much better even if you still don't what kubrick is trying to say which i don't,positive
man are you serious did you read the book or watch this movie well if you did let me warn you it is bogus mark has been seeking a job since losing his job with the you remember him don't you he was the guy that on the stand and gave the simpson defense a they were looking for well he has written three books since then i have read all three of them no i am not a fan they were given to me however i will tell you one similarity in all three they grossly the importance of mark he shamelessly his stature in all three in murder in he pretends that he had something to do with catching the killer when he had nothing to do with it in all books he takes great delight in running down local law efforts kind of like his efforts were run down in the trial in this movie there are plenty of slow motion shots of ladies looking at and after him many other shots have him at the center of attention when in reality i am sure the only thing people were thinking at the time was hey isn't that the racist that caused to get off this was an interesting real life story but not a good movie over it,negative
i really think this movie deserves some oscars i really don't care what people can say badly about this movie because it's a really well played parts from samuel l jackson and mainly by christina i'm a big fan of hers right since i saw her in family been trying to watch all things she makes and this is absolutely one of the best parts she played i love her looks even though people say she's not pretty i think she is and i love her eyes the movie is about many things people say that is religious people say that it's about racism people say that is about drugs people say that is about well maybe is a little bit of all that but what i truly feel is that this movie has a high level of eye opening for what blues is what it stands for and mainly were it comes from life heart pain sorrow and above all spontaneous feelings i hope you get to see it if you are that kind of person that likes a movie not only from the pictures or the story it tells this is a good movie to see if your not well see it anyway cant hurt that much and you get to see christina acting so horny she's a fox,positive

this movie was horrendous it had absolutely nothing to do with dark and the dvd was very misleading because it showed a scarecrow and a neither of which appeared in this movie br br the beginning was a of random scenes that most of which had nothing to do with the movie except that they sort of show that the man is psychic but not too well br br after the first 10 minutes of the movie there is an hour of just the man character looking for his daughters it gets vaguely interesting when the daughters meet two girls who died the year before but that's the extent of it br br and why might i ask was this movie rated r there were two drops of blood and 4 curse words and how on earth did it get into a video store this movie was poorly acted poorly filmed poorly written and overall horribly executed,negative
this is absolutely the worst comedy i have ever seen it's hard to explain though because unless you've seen this i bet you've never seen a comedy that was not good or bad it's just there that's the original part not good or bad just there br br let me say that i have seen every comedian appearing in a main role and like them all that's what makes this such a mystery the supporting leads are actually acting although the dialog is bad the only character that is fairly good is the one played by john goodman he does a pretty good job with what little dialog he has and actually has one funny line i won't spoil the only funny line in the movie in case you decide to watch anyway it involves a the big mysteries are the main leads i won't call them characters because no characters have been developed this script is so juvenile that they don't even bother to give the leads fictional names they all just use their own they don't even seem to be trying to act it's as though they are all reading out loud to each other from scripts that the local junior high sent to them i actually wrote a paper like this for my english class when i was thirteen it wasn't funny either br br bottom line just don't bother to rent this it isn't funny it doesn't even have the kind of bad dialog you can to i just sat there and through the whole thing it was so boring i couldn't even work up any at how bad it was i can't imagine how this is even getting a rating of 4 here,negative
this film has the language the style and the attitude down plus rides from a world and the great jerry lopez john as turtle has the surf down and the surfing scenes are still the best ever a true classic that can be seen many times is a babe and hamilton shows the early stuff that has made him the world's number one extreme,negative
what do you get when you put lou diamond todd bridges barry corbin with a bad and an alien all on a train you get a very bad movie called alien express or dead that would be more entertaining on comedy old series mystery science theater 3000 you name it this awful movie suffered in areas of acting plot storyline and special effects in fact the exterior passenger train shots looked like the production staff used a common ho scale model in front of a painted background the rest of the special effects goes downhill from there br br the plot is very predictable and is similar to two 1970's movies called horror express and a disaster movie called the crossing at least the crossing had a better cast an engaging storyline and real train scenes br br if you want a good laugh and a movie to mock at a b movie party then watch this otherwise alien express long before from the station,negative
i saw this film at a small screening even though it had a low budget the creative direction and intelligence of the cast helped make this a small gem of a movie it's april 8 1994 each of the characters are in their mid and pursuing some kind of artistic ambition acting music film writing when they learn of singer kurt suicide they quickly get inspiration to travel from san francisco to seattle and attend the it's here where the film really picks up and serves up a series of funny and emotional scenes highlights include a visit to grave kurt original childhood home and a sing along an honest an original piece of work,positive

harmony hate him or hate him on this evidence might be a better word not him of course just everything he does but it could've been so different because the first ten minutes of this film promises so much including a fantastic idea of a michael jackson falling in love with a marilyn monroe fantastic and set in paris this could be great but unfortunately may spark the odd decent idea but because he is an awful writer the story fails on every level and the audience i witnessed about an hour in is proof positive that he is the most boring and pretentious film making out there apparently the walk out rate at its premiere in last years cannes festival was quite shocking instead of focusing on the two protagonists he switches the story to the confines of a to introduce a bunch of other making the whole experience tedious and when will the independent cinema stop funding this,negative
this film marked the end of the serious universal monsters era and meet up with the monsters later in and meet it was a somewhat yet fun attempt to revive the classic monsters of the wolf man monster and dracula one last time br br i say because in the previous film house of frankenstein both dracula and the wolf man are killed according to how the vampire and werewolf legends say they should be dracula by the and the wolf man by a silver bullet yet somehow they return in house of dracula with no explanation this movie could have played as a kind of prequel to house of frankenstein if the frankenstein monster plot wouldn't be continuing into house of dracula from house of frankenstein and if the wolf man didn't get then be no plot holes but since this is not the case the plots of dracula and the wolf man make no sense br br however ignoring these plot holes house of dracula is a classic atmospheric horror film that's fun to watch it has many high points especially seeing the wolf man get i know i just said that this shouldn't have been included but it was nice to actually see him get after all this time and the scene with the lady playing on the piano then all of a sudden playing a haunting melody when under spell was very eerie dr transformation into the dr mr hyde type character was also done very well br br and it's great to see dracula frankenstein and the wolf man together one last time br br out of,positive
i was really excited about seeing cold mountain alas like most movies i'm really excited about seeing it was a letdown were it not for that invention called a dvd i think i would've put my head through the i was so bored br br i closely watched kidman and law when they meet because their characters are supposedly destined for each other yet face showed anything but dumb struck love while kidman seemed to be counting the seconds until she could run back to her trailer character is pure as if we don't get it mark her every entrance and so over the top it was all i could do not to laugh ironically her performance serves to highlight just how stiff as a board the leads are br br nearly because she freed her slaves we never learn why more is why didn't any of them stay on as and her father were unusually and as shown in one scene it was a very dangerous time for as they're called here why didn't the neighbors teach her how to milk a cow or grow a crop heck why didn't she just sell the farm and go home and for all of when she evil that kind of puts the on them having any more br br by the time her beloved finally returns doesn't need him or anyone else which is the big joke indeed she may be physically intimate with but her real is with ruby who has turned into an babe version of herself did anyone else notice how they walked down the hill holding hands happy as two in a as they left behind br br i doubt that recognized this as he was too busy making an anti bush movie tells us he is like every fool sent out to fight with a flag and a lie and father says i imagine god is weary of being called down on both sides of an argument these observations are historically inaccurate and insulting while slavery was the basis of the economy the reasons for the war were more complex it was incomprehensible for a soldier to think that the cause was a lie in fact most in the rank and file were indifferent to it for filmmakers to their views onto a period where such views were foreign to those who lived in that time is beyond obnoxious br br the film is choppy and episodic law and kidman are miscast and have zero chemistry the script is little more than half baked dialog and an bunch of clichés and small moments like a bag of ugh,negative
the use of projection wandering soul to exist outside of body with the result horrible death the of victims leading to broken spine and organs on those close to the one with such ability is the threat of eternal evil providing karen black as with another unique character to fool around with as a woman who influences a commercial director paul winston tired of his marriage and dull career in she's dying and needs his body her spirit potentially to his wife and son his son has a special friend who talks him into things even himself at one point a detective john novak investigating the unusual concerning those killed by the spirit paul to the deaths and through him soon both realize that must be stopped or she'll simply move to another human host what paul doesn't know is that his new secretary is lover both were actually older featured in his documentary of projection called wandering soul br br director george my bloody valentine certainly creates a weird atmosphere with this movie which contains a rather bizarre premise it seems that paul's boy can see the spirit moving in the shape of a blue man the kid into conduct black despite the star treatment rarely is shot close up taking advantage of her face which can produce the type of evil her character instead she's shot from her voice dubbed and she never quite herself with the proper menace which is an opportunity lost in my opinion for some reason despite the intriguing if oddball idea of projection causing a spirit to kill folks from within the film just never takes off the soundtrack is very ish and the lighting and sound while at times moody and effective often is quite murky the pacing is a problem also as the story along the cast is rather limp especially in the lead his performance at best it doesn't help that there are few characters except paul's wife we could care less about and what really hurts is that paul himself isn't exactly the most lovable person in the world he can be quite difficult and moody his career a reason for such behavior black should've been a more prominent figure in the film yet remains mostly in the background talked about in dialogue between paul and but rarely does she get a chance to us with her which is a shame,negative

the late director john directed his first feature film the young stranger after starting out directing live television dramas in new york city this film came on the heels of the success of rebel without a cause in 1955 james macarthur made his feature film debut as a troubled teen with a movie producer father played by james who doesn't establish enough of a relationship with his son kim hunter plays the mother who tries to bridge the gap between her husband and her son the film uses the popular juvenile angle of the time to tell its story macarthur gets in trouble at a movie theater with an theater manager played by macarthur in turn has to deal with a police sergeant james gregory bent on teaching him a lesson the material could easily have turned exploitative laughable and sensational like any number of others of the period did however under the sure handed direction of the film is a sensitive portrayal of teenage and dynamics the dialog is realistic and most of the scenes hold up surprisingly well some of the scenes with as the theater manager and gregory as the police sergeant are a bit heavy handed and dated the performances are uniformly good though which is necessary for a film of this nature and about this topic to succeed this is an impressive feature film debut both for macarthur and of 4 stars,positive
my overall feeling about this film is that it was a slow drawn out wander through some of the worlds genuinely unfortunate situations with a bit of redemption and an obvious message the film is composed mostly of fairly uninteresting video footage of the countries he visits with bad all slow down to a pace and with depressing music certainly some of the and interviews contain some compelling stories but unlike what the description on the back suggests it wasn't so much the story that's being told as it is the director's mr and he doesn't tell it well this film could have included longer better interviews with the people themselves letting them tell their stories instead mr draws the story towards himself making it some kind of personal journey and unfortunately it doesn't end up being much of one i never really got a sense of any growth as he explores the subject and he never what about the subject pulled him in in the first place he just drags us from one place to the next lightly on the situation and characters hangs around showing too much slow motion footage of people just walking around the streets then moves on to his next destination he does this over and over and over again without any real development i felt like this film could have been cut down to 45 minutes but it's drawn out to close to 2 slow hours we feel morally to care about the topic but the director's self indulgent meandering uninspired delivery of his journey makes you grow after a while,negative

i come from and here c c is a of awesome sex all kidding aside a friend and i were awake in the middle of the night watching movies on the action channel when we came across a series of sci fi esquire flicks there was 2 not bad not bad at all then judge almost ruins his career then a movie called lethal target one would think the title lethal target could only be awarded to a really cool and really cheesy rambo knock off but what is delivered is what i would like to call a semi semi pseudo action semi sci fi film actually i think i can say that this isn't even a film at all if it wasn't for the main character's sheer my friend and i would've turned off the movie as the opening credits rolled br br i have a few questions to the people i wouldn't even dare say professionals who made this film one in the future why are they using the we used in 1999 oh wait i get it it's all that they could get their hands on right well then why is the main character wearing what looks like a normal everyday shirt and a kinda like what people wore in the late nineties oh i get it in space it must have been a fashion statement well then why oh why does the main character pull out a 3 5 at one point in the film so that she can some wtf we've progressed so far that we have space travel but we still haven't progressed past 1 of space br br i guess i'm just asking for too much br br question two let's just say that yes this is a porn then why is there only one real sex scene and why does it last for 2 minutes br br i mean you're taking the reason people are staying up in the middle of the night to see this crap dare i say anymore and it down to 2 minutes hell they should've just taken that sex scene and sold it to another porn movie and they would've still made more money off of this crap than they did br br c c is hot and no offense to the actress but she acts about as well as i do and i'm mentally retarded and only have one c c e mail me we'll have lunch i would write more but i've run out of space,negative
if love me tonight is the musical for people who don't like musicals it has to be said that the gay is definitely not a musical for people who don't like opera in fact despite apparently being based on a comic it is not really a musical at all but a spoof story with unrelated to show off the voice of one character and what a voice it is br br as the young singer who joins the to get a spot on the radio no the plot doesn't make a lot more sense later on either has a glorious golden whose style hasn't dated a day since the era when it was recorded the and of some of his musical belong to a fashion but it's very easy to picture out to a world cup crowd and the in the process unfortunately while he has an engaging grin and a decent dramatic range he is completely incapable of acting and singing at the same time the result is that the otherwise rapid paced film to a halt every time lays his hand on his breast and starts to and the viewer's tolerance of the result is likely to depend on his appreciation of operatic performance br br aside from this the film is an enjoyable broad brush satire on hollywood conventions and the mexican stereotype in particular which achieves the vital goal of all such spoofs in making its characters engaging enough in their own right to hold the viewer's interest when the joke would otherwise have grown stale the chief and his sidekick have the traditional double act relationship there is an enigmatic with a face and a spirited heroine a young who performs the generic you say you hate me but you love me really routine with a refreshing twist br br overall the film is entertaining and pretty funny and i feel i did get my worth but it can't be denied that the musical while admirable in their own way introduce severe pacing problems,positive
preston the power and the glory was unseen by the public for nearly twenty or thirty years until the late 1990s when it and even showed up on television in the meantime it had gained in because pauline the citizen kane book had suggested that the herman orson welles screenplay for kane was based on screenplay here as is mentioned in the beginning of this thread for the film on the imdb web site her case br br there are about six who take turns dealing with the life of charles foster kane the representing the henry clone jed susan alexander kane and raymond the butler each has his or her different on kane their faith or disappointment or hatred of the man and of course each also reveals his or her own when they are telling their version of story this method also leads to frequent re of the same incident br br this is not the situation in the power and the glory yes like kane it is about a legendary business leader here it is tom garner spencer tracy a man who rose from the bottom to being head of the most successful system in the country but there are only two they are right hand man henry ralph morgan and his wife sarah this the nearly three dimensional view we get at times of kane in garner henry when he is talking about his boss and friend whom he respected and loved his wife is like the voice of the skeptical public she sees only the flaws in henry br br typical example although he worked his way up tom becomes more and more anti labor in his later years are and he does not care to be down by their henry describes confrontation with the union in a major walk out and how it him to the of his home life but wife reminds him how tom used and violence to end the strike apparently blowing up the killing many people so we have two views of the man but one is pure white and one is pure black br br i'm not really knocking the power and the glory for not success few films do including all of orson welles' other films but i am aware that the story is presented well enough to hold one's interest to the end and thanks to the performances of tracy and moore as his wife sally the tragedy of the success of the pair is fully brought home br br when they marry tom wants to do well in part to give his wife and their family the benefits he never had but in america great business success comes at a cost tom gets deeply involved with running the empire he it and it constantly but it takes him away from home too much and he loses touch with sally and he also notices eve helen the younger woman who becomes his mistress when sally learns of his behavior it destroys her br br similarly tom too gets a full shock which makes him a in the eyes of henry eve marries tom and presents him with a son but it turns out to be son by son tom jr philip the discovery of this incestuous causes tom to shoot himself br br the film is not a total success the action jumps at times yet it does make the business seem real note the scene when tom tells his board of directors about his plans to purchase a small rival train line and he the use of for the plans came from a wealthy background so he could bring in this type of detail so on the whole it is a first rate film no citizen kane perhaps but of interest to movie lovers as an attempt at business realism with social commentary in depression america,positive

i watched this movie to see the direction one of the most promising young talents in movies was going unfortunately with this movie has chosen a path not only well worn but completely free of any meaningful destination this movie used every hackneyed trick in the book to leave the screen tap you on the shoulder and ask if it can have your so that it may give them a good romance can be done well and when it is the viewer is left feeling the love portrayed on screen during the emotional climax of this movie i laughed to save you the time and money i would suggest instead of seeing this movie you have a meal of and it's about the same,negative
i agree that this film is too pretentious and it is not easy to know where it is going i have been teaching literature and film for many years and i find this film to be one of the most over rated according to some of the previous reviews here br br however let me remind you that this is the same director who has my mother's smile to his credit a gem of a film br br was he trying to 2 here the scene with the dogs which has also been pointed out is absurd and excessive – just one example others would take too much space and some reviewers have already noted them br br overall a most frustrating and annoying experience,negative
great job was very exciting and had great stunts a show that really was a great job by all who worked on this one and especially the acting on part this would have been great on the big screen would like to see more of these movies of the week or perhaps a weekly series this was great entertainment and am glad i watched by far the best of the three keep up the good work and phillips i'll be looking for the next one,positive
reading the other comments here at the imdb i had very high expectations before seeing of the i wasn't disappointed and giving the movie an 8 i would say that i can justify that grade br br the movie has some incredible acting especially by the main person the supporting actors are also doing a very good job like the patients in the mental institution the parents and the siblings of the music is also worth mentioning supporting the movie throughout giving depth and feeling br br although the movie is very it doesn't leave out some humour and has a sort of objective about life still if you want to see a cheesy comedy or something light weight this is not for you it is a story about people with mental problems about the way they are being dealt with in society but most of all a story about br br i recommend this movie to all movie it is one of the best movies that has ever come out of if not out of,positive
in spite of many positive reviews this is a very slow film with three essentially good actors the most banal dialog you will ever hear this is another road movie that really goes no where the camera frequently goes out of focus and the constant in some of the over long scenes is annoying br br the three characters are attractive but note likable the cast also sets what must be an record for the use of the tired word dude even howard stern has abandoned this tired br br the three primary actors and one supporting actor show great promise they are clearly comfortable and allow themselves to be depicted as shallow and even goofy the character actors all seem as they are amateurs who to speak a few lines indeed they all physically fit their roles well br br all in all a dull 90 minutes that seems more like an eternity this is among my ten worst films of all time,negative

surface from the day its first showed in the summer of 2005 was a on one hand it seemed so high concept and plot driven that to the it felt like it would work out better as a motion picture or several plus it felt like it was attempt at a lost killer on the other hand one may have realized that the story was too to tell in a movie or two and fans of lost seemed intrigued br br so after one and possibly only season on nbc the show is on an that could either put it in the vault on sci fi or filling a gap in in the summer or fall of 2007 or beyond its ratings were some of the better on the network which isn't saying much but the show has been taken off the air with no real official of its future br br so is it worthwhile yes br br surface follows a continuing story format driven by plot with next to no filler episodes almost everything that happens on the show is important to the plot much like a motion picture no filler episodes which put a pain in your side when you missed an episode yet the show's double edge helped made up for that big things seem to happen every episode but since it feels like a movie you end every episode feeling like little happened and you're left wanting more that of the show though shows how great it is the cast is solid the three main leads including the beautiful lake bell as laura put in a solid performance every episode each driven by their own reasons for finding studying the creatures the supporting cast including ian anthony and the brief performance by fill out the cast well the story is slow to start my one regret it doesn't really pick up until a 3 4 episodes in to the short 15 episode season but the latter half of the season makes up for it the visual effects are stunning one's jaw will drop when you see an view of one of the creatures a ship as well br br many of the show's problems can be by the complete first season and not having to wait a week or three to watch the next episode br br in short if you've missed the first season and you're curious go back and watch it it's no twin peaks in terms of but the high concept nature of it puts in in league with that lost and other similar shows with a flair for action and adventure enjoy it,positive
despite the fact that the plot follows the well known recipe of who did it which has all the perry mason movies so far the characters of the present film are not so well developed and the selected cast fails to give them flesh and blood of course in general the perry mason movies are not significant but even for their low standards this one is weak,negative
this is the type of late night cable flick usually associated with andrew stevens or shannon though unlike most of and t a vehicles this is dull br br let's cut to the chase the real reason for watching this non thriller is to see shannon breasts anyone who states otherwise is a liar however most of her steamy sex scenes appear to be all smoke and mirrors br br notice that all the shots where her head and chest show at the same time are quick a boo flashes the frames where the camera on her nude body there's little or no face attached or she's behind a dripping wet shower door br br all you out there know what that means body double br br i must admit though that the finale where is bound and with a knife provided a certain thrill br br if you find a vhs copy anywhere buy it as all involved are probably too embarrassed to ever let this come out on dvd,negative
the prior comments are way to generous this movie is a waste of electricity and plastic on the other hand i have had a great deal of fun giving it to friends to watch and describing it beforehand as beyond belief no words can express how i feel about this this movie will move you as expected the friends took these comments as enthusiastic they were wrong the sadistic pleasure i had this on people was well worth the 5 i paid for the movie on the other hand one former friend says i owe him 90 minutes of his life back i particularly enjoyed the eye view of parts of the movie truly awesome in it's absurdity,negative
this movie comes down like a square in a square hole a poorly made a so cheap it couldn't even be produced in a line in mexico in fact when you try to press the into the hole for which it is obviously designed it into disgusting pieces that smell like rotting fruit and won't wash off is such a br br this movie is so mind awful it couldn't have even been created a movie like this must have been the result of some accident of nature some that in the corner of a office somewhere and and grew until it was too big and terrifying to look at only science would be interested in such a thing anyone not bent on studying it would it from this world br br what it comes down to is this if you're the kind to enjoy first year racism or coke zero it might just be your birthday,negative
this outstanding film has about the best acting that you'll ever see and that alone makes this a must see the entire cast is excellent but then again it had to be in order to keep up with dustin hoffman and meryl streep it didn't take me long to get hooked on this film and aside from a courtroom scene that is merely good this is top notch entertainment this is a rare film that actually deserved all the oscar recognition that it received see it for yourself and you will definitely not be disappointed,positive
a terrible movie that is amateurish on almost every level a boring and derivative screenplay filled with stereotyped characters played by embarrassed actors for a director lacking the most understanding of his craft the whole thing stinks it plays like a slasher movie from the early eighties down to the crappy score and but without the childhood nostalgia that is required to look on such one of the worst horror films i've ever seen definitely the worst that received a mainstream theatrical release i've never walked out of a film in my life had i been unlucky enough to see at the theater it would have been a first avoid at all costs,negative
this sequel is quite awful to be honest i'm a fan of kung fu movies and this is by far the worst i've seen bride with white hair 1 was actually quite good and this is a huge disappointment 1 was brilliant in some ways with an unique odd ball evil bad guy br br the couple from the first movie played a small role in this movie instead the movie revolves around a bunch of uninteresting characters trying to seek revenge on their fallen but there's no antagonist in this movie so the revenge is mute br br the worst part to this movie is the kung fu or lack there of they literally had a street style knife fight the character at the end refused to fight because there was lack of choreography,negative
anne natalie portman tells us about how much she hates her mother adele sarandon that's how the movie begins adele decided that her and her daughter were moving to california without asking anyone and leaving her husband without any reason the story is about the relationship between the mother and the daughter it's really deep and touching thanks to the great work of the actresses natalie was nominated to a golden globe for that role she is one of the most talented actresses i ever saw and so is sarandon they really look like mother daughter the soundtrack is also great the movie is incredible 10 out of 10,positive
good movie all elements of a good movie was there story actors script and direction i was on the edge of my seat the whole time br br no question about it is a low budget film but i liked it more than many big budget films br br plays martin sanders who is dealing with his wife then a voice in the and then just fear br br virginia is beautiful and brings a powerful performance she is an excellent part to the film br br i liked the increasing ambiguity near the end even though we know that the main character can be involved we continued seeing everything from his point of view and asking who is the killer,positive
i challenge you to watch this film and deny the above statement that is if you can stop looking at her practically flawless face she also does a bit of fighting and a bit of shooting but not nearly as much as i was hoping for the film is extremely slow moving and low budgeted though at least they tried to find an excuse for the spaceship being so nearly the entire crew is on suspended animation and the ship moves on auto pilot and the heroine doesn't rescue any of them or bring anything useful back home it seems that that evil lady into traveling through space was the only part of her mission that couldn't be more easily accomplished by the that blow up the ship at the end there are also some long but rather tame soft core scenes and a couple of alien rip off monsters that kill about 2 people 1 2 out of 4,negative
the hills have eyes is not a great film by any stretch of the imagination for one the villains look almost normal not what you would expect deranged to look like for another the pacing is very slow at times and there are many scenes of the characters repeating themselves by that i mean there is a lot of filler in the movie with a lot of running around the film didn't have a clear direction the plot of the movie is hardly original even for its time the texas chainsaw massacre came out a few year earlier and is a much more effective film as far as horror goes the film has little in the way of scares and the soundtrack just served to be both grating and distracting all at once i suppose the music was used to cover up the fact that not much happens through much of the movie though it failed in its intended purpose i basically kept looking at the time every few seconds hoping something would happen or it would end when something finally did happen any promise the film had was ruined by mere chaos and loud noise i sat through it because i like to give a film the benefit of the doubt yes there is some loud screaming and yes people die but who cares much too slow getting to any sort of pay off if you can call it that my buddy enjoyed it so at least one of us got something out of it the hills have eyes isn't the worst film we could have watched but i doubt i will watch it again this film was remade in 2006 and i will also have review of that version anyway this movie was painfully slow at times while other times was chaotic and repetitive unless you like watching paint dry occasionally interspersed with someone running around your block screaming their head off stay away from this movie a better bet would be the original texas chainsaw massacre 1973 1 5 out of 10 which is being generous,negative
i saw this film much like did but when i could manage to see it again and with film training psychology and life has had the time to really take me by the hand and start beating me about i really click with the film i remember the pay for service cable channels played this thing almost to death much like when it first came out and many other popular films i felt back then it wasn't worth the fuss and constant i know cable isn't really on air given it but i was very young and adult situation drama wouldn't have and shouldn't have worked however recent viewing of the film has me on the film i think that susan and molly were likely studying the script together and i would be a bit surprised if had during this project other projects while good do not have her the potential depth as this role nailed hers as julia did also and wife delivered acceptable performances but i will admit at times first class acting turns to mediocre a steady and flow to the acting does take place during many scenes but overall i can see why the story might call for the dynamic to become more subtle br br all in all i don't find this film to be the take me out and me kind of boredom fest as would have you believe i think that perhaps with the right psychological training and a bit more in one's domestic life placed coupled with some film perhaps this film would appear different i would say if you are feeling a bit melancholy and for a simpler life and you have had your share of marital amongst dysfunctional family then perhaps this film might provide more insight and entertainment than you might think i do feel it is a classic and find it much more entertaining than mainstream films that are supposed to share many of the same elements such as terms of which as far as i am concerned could be stripped of a few extraordinary performances by jack nicholson then burned until nothing is left how could a film like that get more attention than this one talk about boredom best thing don't take my word or anyone else's see the film and support our industry,positive
i have seen three other movies that are worse than this one plan 9 from side and the blair witch project there are so many technical errors in this movie that regardless of a decent plot the movie just isn't believable br br let's start with an train with no or between cars the killer walks up behind his victim as she moves from car to car and just pushes her off the train br br in one scene a killer into a woman's apartment he wants to sneak up on the woman to kill her so what does he do he turns up her if i heard my suddenly get i'd be concerned he kills the women by throwing an electric hair into the i was amazed to see that an electric hair with a five foot could be tossed ten feet and remain in plus the apartment looked modern enough to have ground fault in the bathroom and the victim was still br br the is one of the most well known commercial on the planet so this part really amazed me first the was not even close to a real and second it wasn't on the top deck of the plane i watched in utter as the pilot and co pilot where was the flight engineer walked right past the spiral and headed forward the nose of the airplane br br i was also amazed that bullets wouldn't an serving good thing for our hero or bathroom doors but would the ceiling causing a fuel that through a small hole in the huh watching three guys a by 100 in less than a week was pretty amazing as well br br i didn't check was this a movie of the week or something it was terrible,negative
i rented this movie but i wasn't too sure what to expect of it i was very glad to find that it's about the best brazilian movie i've ever seen the story is rather odd and simple and above all extremely original we have antonio who is a young man living in a town in the middle of nowhere in the north east of brazil and who is deeply in love with the main conflict between the two is that while antonio loves his little town and has no wish to leave it wants to see the world and the place as a prove of his love for her he decides to go out himself and bring the world to her he'll put in the map as he says and the way he does it is unbelievable this is a good movie might be a bit for some people due to its different editing job but i think that it's also that that the story it's just fun and it makes you feel good,positive
as a massive fan of the three tv series i was very interested to learn that were moving onto the big screen in my more honest moments though i had my doubts about the likely success of the concept and whether the writers would be able to sustain the high level of wit comedy and horror that the original series br br unfortunately my fears were not and the film was a huge disappointment i struggle to understand the other comments on this site obviously people are entitled to their opinions but the guys i watched it with all agree with me and they are just as big fans as i am br br the acting lacked conviction but they are so good that even when not at their best they are still highly watchable the main problem was the plot and the script there were a few laughs but not enough a few moments of disgust but not enough worst of all was the feeling of after walking out of the cinema so rarely have i felt so utterly uninspired by a film and so to discuss it with others br br i write this comment as a warning to other league fans get a wide range of opinion on this film before going to see it if you love league you might be able to convince yourself that they didn't totally mess up their move to cinema if you can't convince yourself of this then you will have in your mind the otherwise genius that the tv series br br at the cinema more like or little brown fish,negative

i have always been a fan of bottom grabbing as many videos as i could find of the series here in the states the chemistry between and is always genius and the combination of smart writing and utterly stupid humor seems to work without fail i thus sat down to watch this movie with great and was utterly disappointed by the end br br the first 3 4 of the movie can best be described as uninspired and poorly directed sorry but with some utterly brilliant moments unfortunately these laugh out loud moments make you realize how less than brilliant the rest of the movie is the slapstick starts off funny but eventually becomes a bit boring with only the perverted sex jokes to keep things humorous br br the end of the movie the scenes for those of you who've seen it was perhaps the worst ending i've seen in the past decade honestly it was one joke repeated about thirty times followed by an abrupt ending that made no sense which didn't bother me and wasn't funny which did br br to sum up i was sorely disappointed by this movie i shall to the few brilliant moments in it to retain the memories that i can but i have to warn you if you're about to for your tape from the local don't there are far better things to spend your money on,negative
famed filmmaker morgana is although characters appear in the film from time to time there is no actual story the film is also not an educational or historical documentary it's a film without an accompanying screenplay br br the film consists of curious background music and a somewhat illogical narrative the combination of which a long string of images from mostly though not exclusively the desert some of the images are wonderfully odd and out of the ordinary the camera captures ghostly images or that and br br this general cinematic trend is by occasional on topics for example in one sequence a man wearing gives us a mini on and in what for me was the most captivating and bizarre sequence a small room contains a man with dark who sings in a voice that is totally distorted by the he's using accompanied by an old lady who plays a tune on an old piano neither the man nor the old lady seems to enjoy what they're doing how br br morgana does have an underlying concept one that the wide assortment of strange images and sounds but that concept is so subtle so that you'll never figure it out without help from this subtle theme the film does indeed make sense without that point of reference however the film can seem tedious and a pointless parade of random images and narrative br br redundant and morgana will likely either make you with delight or cause you to throw up you'll either on to the film's like qualities or be tempted to smash the dvd into a thousand pieces one thing that most viewers will agree on morgana is different,positive

as we are well aware movies are not set out to be a direct of history but it is a disgrace when a movie is made which has absolutely little to no i wish the director and or the screen writer had done his her research in this topic all this movie does is create a forum for hate between people while causing a that should not be there this movie portrayed the and muslims in a very negative while making the third group look as if they were non existent in the brutal killings of the people of both nations the inaccuracies coupled with the disregard for one's faith as portrayed by was a disgrace to the highest format though on a more positive note the actors did a great job in acting in their roles both k and c played their rolls exceptionally i hope those that watch this movie do not see or use it as a for the actual historical event,negative
this movie was perhaps one of the most unoriginal and unfunny films i've seen in a long long while to be fair i was not expecting some revolutionary comic formula but i was to at least be entertained with such low expectations how could i manage to be disappointed br br jim carrey possibly my favorite actor not sarcasm did little more than water in this film he seems to have returned to his funny face making roots and created a character no different from his from liar liar this new character dick a k a 2 0 is a poorly rendered and miserably written if you find yourself smiling while watching this pitiful and essentially boring character it is most likely because carrey is trying so hard to bring a third dimension to him outlandish posing becomes awkward and ultimately sad br br tea as jane does little more than provide the to i typically find tea refreshing and underused but not in this case jane could have been easily played by any actress from age thirty to forty five and it is in that non that the character of jane becomes uninteresting to watch she simply has no defining other than her following of the movie's general theme which seems to be that wait no this movie has no theme unless you count big business is evil as a theme i thought that was more of a given br br richard and alec baldwin both deliver believable though tired supporting performances but neither man seems truly invested in the role they're playing it's very clear that alec baldwin was putting about as much effort into playing his role as the sinister c e o as he puts into eating a which he seems to be doing a lot of lately br br slight but has alec baldwin played any roles in the past few years that hasn't required him to be a powerful jerk in a suit br br anyway take my advice if you haven't already witnessed the horror for yourself save your money this is the one to catch on hbo in a few months dick and jane are present but there's no fun to be had,negative
during the brief period between clint eastwood's string of spaghetti westerns and his dirty harry films he and director don teamed up to make this unusual picture eastwood plays an injured union army during the civil war who is taken in by a southern school for girls until he from his wounds it has been a while since the young women most of which seem to be teenagers have had a man on the premises so they are reluctant to turn him in to the local rebel soldiers the resulting situations are often humorous shocking erotic or even downright grotesque as eastwood slowly his strength and begins to over the establishment br br the basic storyline almost sounds like the of a porno film we have a male suddenly surrounded by young women most of them are sexually attracted to him and he is more than willing to spread the love amongst them the material never really slips down to the level of tasteless however eastwood and cinematographer bruce are such skilled filmmakers that the film always its dignity br br eastwood's john is like no other character he has ever played is an amoral conniving and he knows that most of the women even the youngest want his and he lets more than one of them have a shot at him often uses to the women up then uses his rugged good looks to reel them in he is like a drunken player at a cocktail party often hitting on different women even in the same scene eventually his ways cause him great agony and loss in a way you must see for yourselves this author would not dream of revealing the specific consequences of his actions but there is little doubt he has them coming br br eastwood gives a typically great performance he seems to be having a blast with the role until things turn really ugly then he turns mean and ugly page is a treat as the b who runs the school we know she wants as much as the other girls but with her past shown to us in flashbacks we find out that isn't all she's after mae as a slave to the school gives a great performance too she obviously knows is a from the beginning and she never lets his phony charm bring her guard down this is a character you will want to know more about after the film is over she seems to have a greater knowledge of the world than anyone else in the film br br the did poorly in its theatrical release nobody was quite sure what to make of it and some of its content no doubt raised a few in 1971 for example in an early scene we see eastwood kiss a 12 old girl is he just trying to keep her quiet when the rebel soldiers get close or is he really enjoying it probably both a fantasy sequence later on even shows clint getting it on with not only page but her young assistant truly some interesting goings on in this one it's a good thing eastwood became the star he did or this one might have been long forgotten br br highly recommended 9 of 10 stars br br the,positive
this is most likely the best picture not many will see it presented a culture in a real way a must see for all who like indie and for those who don't i think this movie will draw more into the indie scene the acting was top notch the character of alice was so well with perfect this movie be brought to the mainstream i think it would do alice is the most real look at an element of our culture that i have seen since go ask alice a look that is by the hollywood hand movies like this show young people that these things aren't glamorous but that they are real and compelling if you liked pieces of april you will love this one,positive
the early films of the dead end kids before they were re the boys were all very entertaining and well produced films from warner brothers despite their being rather formulaic they still had excellent writing acting and hold up well over time do not confuse these with the cheap boys films from pictures despite the presence of hall and leo these films were several below the earlier films in regard to quality br br the film begins with tough guy john garfield winning the lightweight boxing championship unfortunately shortly after this he's on a drunken and is blamed for a murder he really didn't commit the problem is that he was so loaded that he wasn't sure he didn't kill the man so he runs away and lives the life of a eventually he meets up with may and the dead end kids as well as a lady you just know will become his girlfriend given time br br where the rest of the film goes was not all that surprising but because of the quality of the film it doesn't seem to matter garfield and the kids are at their best and this is a film sure to please all but the of viewers,positive
i generally like work but this movie was completely retarded but sadly not retarded enough to make it retarded i just sat mouth wondering when it would end the plot makes only a of sense i think it was intended to be campy i mean haunted hair how could it not be but the humor such as it was fell flat not funny not scary not gory i would say perhaps was a hired hand on this project but he appears to have written this boring trash as well i still need to fill a couple more lines what else is there to say i suppose i could finish by saying better luck next time san,negative
seriously engaging intelligent and thought provoking drama at its very best mean gripping moody and captivating every home should have a copy don't take my word for it see it yourself one life stand makes you consider your own lifestyle and how you treat your family and friends beautiful photography and impressive acting makes for one of the best cinema graphic experiences of the year john debut is a delight and adds a real touch of truth and realism to this deep and gritty film this is a film that cares and has an honesty that is in recent years no car chases but a film packed with hum our and emotion i first saw this film screened at the film festival in 2000 and am now delighted to be able to own a copy on dvd,positive
excellent special effects make this disaster move very plausible one can see that the producers went to some trouble to get the displays on the computer screens just right it all makes it very convincing the sets are also very authentic looking a good choice of music rounds off the film nicely br br acting is good and the presence of david adds some weight to the cast of course compared to other movies of this genre is right up there with the best of them thankfully the human drama aspect has not been overdone as is often the case with this type of movie the human suffering is portrayed in perfect balance with the actual scenes br br and of course the movie what many of us suspect anyway weather so often do not get it right,positive
the residents are a band known for their strange appearances and odd musical so obviously their music videos aren't going to be exactly normal in fact these little videos are and bizarre but have a huge artistic value to them the atmosphere is built with lighting and thoughtful visuals it's a great watching experience br br basically just consists of many residents music videos made for their songs the music itself from rock to music that sounds like it's straight out of an 80s horror film what doesn't change is the quality of these videos they're great br br any fan of art films will love these they're so original with their visuals and the angles they are filmed at and the lighting especially make these so interesting the music is creepy and catchy and highly original and these short films are mini classics that deserve multiple this is a near perfect collection of short videos br br my rating out of mins,positive
there are not many films which i would describe as perfect but definitely fits the bill no other heist film has come close to it before or after the plot is simple but you it never to me how absolutely gripping the film is every time you view it you care for all the characters even though they are bank robbers because they are presented as human beings with all their problems and flaws it's hard to imagine any other actor besides jean in the role of tony le when the members of the crew are each talking about what they are going to do with their money and finally get to tony his answer and the expression on his face says it all while the 30 minute heist sequence is the most famous part of the movie and rightfully so the film actually gets better afterward the director jules knew what he was doing when he decided to not have any music during the heist scene or the final shootout but instead inserted a great climactic score during tony's final ride towards his destiny to think that if an american director had not been in hollywood and forced to work in france this masterpiece of cinema would never have been made the way it was it certainly wouldn't have been as good if it was made as an american film during that time it was absolutely horrible what had to go through but he did achieve his greatest work because of it to the benefit of all of us i'm just cringing at the thought of the upcoming al pacino remake most heist films since have already borrowed from it in some way or another there's no reason to remake this masterpiece other than money leave the classics alone,positive
this movie is based on a play and is the second adaptation of this work paul sorvino plays the basketball coach of a team of players that against all odds took home the championship 20 years ago they have all met for a reunion terry plays james a junior high principal and will quickly get on your nerves with all his whining and feel sorry for me role vincent as phil plays an obnoxious businessman with just the right amount of money tony is george the current mayor of the town and appears to be on the verge of some sort of breakdown gary plays tom a writer turned alcoholic and in my opinion is excellent in the role while they are all suppose to be celebrating their championship conflicts jealousy and fighting abound as the men come to terms with what was and is now they are forced to look at their lives in a non pleasant way it's unusual to have a group of men talking and crying about what could have been and i found it interesting watching them relate to each other it's not the best movie i've seen but it's certainly good enough for a viewing,positive
zombie planet seems like an example of good ideas and ambition budget i thought the explanation for the zombies was real original and and loved the dog in the exposition scene the rest of the gore was effective in a low budget kinda way but too apart throughout the movie the problem was that it was too long and anti climatic sure they had a intriguing if derivative plot line and a similarly familiar but cool setting but a low budget zombie film really needs to be to make an impression and there just weren't enough red moments in this for me i think there was of cheap looking and fight scenes as well especially given the generally minimal plus for a two hour movie there's very little closure at the end and though it kinda makes me want to track down zombie planet 2 i felt a tad cheated so probably most worth looking for the two of them,negative
debra 1987 black widow is much better br br this is like a lame version and jane seymour usually does better br br allen is pretty poor in this too just playing his usual role as a boring rebellious child br br maybe the both of them being from dr quinn was supposed to make us get excited br br if it's on go grab a copy of black widow,negative
another gray horrible bit of from the family corman the first space capsule into outer space crash lands back on earth with some of the worst special effects ever and the pilot appears to be dead but appearances can be he's actually more alive than the rest of the cast including a old doctor who'd also really really boring a guy who looks like he's the market on hair oil another guy so dull he doesn't even make much of an impression a female scientist who never seems to be hurt or angry over the old guy's and a female photographer with a fawcett pre of course and about as much as a dead duck br br what are any of these people's names i think it was steve apparently everyone in the cast including the women were called steve anyway the dead pilot steve turns out to not only be alive but to be baby aliens or or or whatever inside his the beast that these little looks like a giant bald parrot with once again i am impressed by the laugh ability factor of the monsters created by the house of corman the space from in it the world is still officially the worst most laughable monster i've ever seen grace the screen but the always manage to deliver when it comes to bad cheesy looking monsters br br they also managed to deliver on their other as well i e a boring confusing plot long gray shots thank god corman did most of his films in black and white since his color stuff still manages to look somehow gray two or three locations max stupid and lame props and special effects and lots and lots of dull dialog there's only two deaths in the film if you don't counted the parrot alien blood beast being at the end of the film cheers out through the land i'm sure when the alien rips the old doctor's head off and apparently eats it now it can talk in english and has the doctor's memories it can also move the pregnant astronaut around as though he were br br the apparent intent is to its race using human beings as food and giant there's a confusing bit at the end well more confusing than usual anyway in which the creature tries to explain why it is doing this but it makes no sense whatsoever something about how humanity is about to follow in its footsteps and destroy themselves by something they'll soon create it never really said what that was it could have been anything from to digital watches who knows its baby stabs himself rather than let the alien crawl out of his body and the guy and the other guy burn the parrot alien to death with a cocktail the smell of chicken alien end of story in which the rest of the characters wander off and leave their dead laying on the ground to oh hell why not save yourself the expense of a funeral i'm sure that was what corman was thinking when he was trying to cut and make his scenes as cheaply as possible,negative

directed by a veteran hollywood director henry king who began his career still in love is a many thing was one of his last great films it was based on a by han called simply a many thing the phrase that was borrowed by the author from the poem the kingdom of god by francis thompson where that many word was used in quite a different and rather context meaning the love of god made in the the film marked along with works by such directors as douglas sirk and minnelli a sort of of melodrama its and reaching yet again a peak of popularity br br the story begins when a handsome american reporter mark elliott played by william yet once again in one of his irresistible roles comes to the hong kong and meets there a young and pretty han jennifer jones of half chinese half english origin who is working as a doctor at a hospital and whose husband was recently killed by the chinese instantly mark feels a rather strong attraction towards her but at the beginning his deep feelings are not quite by heart left cold after the death of her husband i believe in human heart now only as a but very soon she to the of as hell mark and both of them enter a passionate relationship apparently by nothing even by the fact that mark is married and his wife doesn't want to give him a divorce or social differences and prejudices caused by chinese origin but still it's the fate that has a final word to say in the fairness of the of such a loving relationship for no matter how enduring the two assume it to be the time is waiting in a rather form of death prepared at any given moment to prove its br br undoubtedly one of the most romantic films ever made love is a many thing features fine performances from william and jennifer jones wonderful academy award winning musical score by alfred newman and extremely romantic touching heart warming but ultimately heart breaking story don't miss that many film 8 10 br br,positive
this is a slightly uneven entry with one standout sequence involving an over the hill gang in the diner that once thirty years previously was their one ho hum between two rock a kidnap turned on its head and an opening sequence plus involving heist artist wannabe edward and current property anna which has its moments no movie in which jean appears can be lightly and here he shines as one of the over the hill indeed the film is worth seeing for alone but each of the sequences has something to offer and it's definitely worth a look,positive
i was only when i first saw the alien movies and i immediately came to like it original terrifying and classic weaver was the perfect choice for the female hero character and she would have deserved a for her act in 1979 something was born than the immortal series continued with a nothing less legendary movie than the first was a different point of view but i think this part was the most and unique of all this was my favourite unfortunately the last one was a failure in many ways it was strained illogical with full of meaningless i didn't like it at all but i never thought that a worse part would ever be made in the future well as it turned out in 2004 i was wrong alien vs predator was a bad break and it should have been directed by a more talented director or should have never been made at all but when i saw alien vs predator i was totally shocked moreover when i sat down and decided to watch it with full of doubt even than i had never thought that such a bad movie could be made without a screenplay without a director and without actors i don't understand how can a film be made because this film misses these three terms what you get is a nice massacre show without a story but with a lot of annoying and boring dialogues waste of money and waste of time this movie is rather than honor to the fans of the both sides alien predator shame,negative

as to be expected there's a pretty good reason why this film is so obscure and unknown in spite of dealing with the always popular premise of zombies and starring the 80's b movie queen linda blair namely it sucks the chilling is trying enormously hard – way too hard – to be a story with depth and factual background whereas it should have just been a light headed and gore packed horror flick about frozen zombies it takes an incredibly long time before anything remotely interesting or significant happens there's a lot of drivel about which i learned in my physics class is the study of products and their behavior at extremely low so naturally in this film a bunch of people are studying the behavior of human corpses when deep frozen needless to say this is extremely boring until two dim witted night decide during an electric power failure that it's a good idea to put the metal constructed cool cells outside at the heights of a the are struck by obviously and the bodies and come to live to go on a murderous zombie rampage the chilling is a boring and surprisingly for a late 80's effort at least gore free horror film that doesn't even use up a quarter of its potential all the painful attempts to build up an atmosphere of suspense and fail tremendously and i can't think of any reason why the zombie attacks had to be so even in spite of the low budget available they could have done better the set pieces make up effects and costumes are the research lab for example looks like a proper apartment flat whilst the zombies couldn't look less menacing with their green faces and foil wrapped outfits how linda blair managed to get involved yet again in such an embarrassing low budgeted horror flick is a complete mystery she's attracted to lousy b movies like are to honey,negative
this movie is awful the script is stupid and of course chase doesn't tell he doesn't love her like every episode ill never understand 101 the show also why the heck does dad act so and its only about and chase what about the other characters its always the same in every episode quinn makes and invention something goes terribly wrong with the invention and brother always gets involved in it if you haven't seen it don't waste an hour watching this you'll be wasting your time this may be interesting to an eight year old well 8 10 but i imagine older watching this film but what can you expect from nick,negative

a mixture of alien and ghost br br starts very promising then slows down to almost boring br br contains some awesome special effects they were able to make in the mid 80's the story is intriguing but becomes quite lack in the end it was rated r because of the sex and gore and savage naked beauty is very apparent through out the whole movie a bizarre movie and cost a lot by the time it was made br br this could have been a bigger classic with a better script but unfortunately it wasn't a great hit i think it actually quite bad br br so something went wrong with this one but still it's very entertaining,positive
since the last horrid film and the fact that we only get the swiss german version in cinemas here i went to watch it with quite a bit of as i was happy to discover br br the film is funny and modern has good gags a good animation an amusing character interaction a good voice cast note i can only speak for the swiss german one except for the daughter her name is great despite the not very inspired voice actress br br i especially liked the character in french in german he's the young man who is supposed to be put in shape he's a very amusing portrayal of a urban teenager but he's very likable despite the teenage mannerisms the interaction between and their young charge is fantastic and thoroughly entertaining br br it shouldn't be compared to the old films since this one is quite different which surprisingly doesn't make it bad on the contrary when they tried to the last film twelve years ago they completely blew it this film however proved that it can be done just fine br br i came out of the theater cheerful always a good sign,positive
this movie is almost unknown but it is very good in a lonely danish town two old sisters live remembering a far when due to a strict education they had to reject happiness lonely then the live in a until who flies from paris frightened by the horror of the war arrives in few time she will be able to turn the goodness and love she received when she arrived a good prize lets her a great following the best rules of french all are invited all they accept but they to not show any trace of pleasure or enjoyment as it would be a sin however the seductive force of the delicious meal they eat that they become by the of french the end in a very felt though quietly happiness the love between humans has the miracle of rise the human kindness due to the pleasure of the sense has begun the movie is surprisingly good but it is not for all tastes during most of the movie nothing happens all is so quiet and so peaceful that during many minutes you can only see the life of the inhabitants of the town but as the movie develops it becomes more precious when wins the prize after movie the show begins the author is able with a perfect directing to show us how the how she mixes all the ingredients with the most wonderful one love all told in a quiet delicious way with a perfect knowledge of photography and acting then as the goes by the quality in showing us how the mood of all changes due to the meal only with first shots with filmed scenes one after another is simply astonishing in addition the with the colours and the photography is also superb almost every scene of the movie is like a picture so work is involved there if you are able to admire good cinema and are able to realize that sometimes the way on telling you something rather than what is told is more important this is your movie if you happen to like good and just love the good probably you'll feel amused as most feelings of the movie will be familiar to you an oscar totally deserved the only problem is its at setting up the story but i can forgive it i hope everyone too,positive
aside from the scenes that the swinging sixties especially with everyone dancing to versions of hits i am surprised how well this lightweight farce holds up years later but indeed it does thanks to the execution of its deception based plot and the sharp interplay of the three leads directed by the stage to screen expert gene this 1969 comedy is about julian winston a successful manhattan dentist and confirmed bachelor who pretends to be married in order to avoid long term commitment with his young girlfriend of a year toni in response to half hearted suicide attempt julian agrees to marry her but toni first insists on meeting his wife to her conscience enter devoted nurse stephanie to play the wife and the inevitable complications ensue with white lies growing into major that lead to presumed and de br br as julian a relaxed walter matthau plays the dentist in his typically manner but he lets his two female co stars walk off with the picture in her big screen debut a 24 year old goldie hawn is still her laugh in persona but provides unexpected and depth as toni she and matthau have great chemistry in their scenes together screen legend ingrid bergman still regal at is obviously having a ball playing stephanie initially and quick witted but into a spirit as the story i particularly like how casual she appears after her overnight romp there is nice supporting work from rick as neighbor and jack as smarmy actor buddy harvey billy longtime i a l diamond provides the screenplay and opens up the story beyond its stage bound origins for who is not the most cinematic of directors other than a couple of trailers there are no significant extras with the dvd,positive

everything about this movie was bad the acting was bad and the plot was bad and were is all the blood and gore that was in demons which is a good movie and it was not scary at all my brother said that this movie was bad but i had to give it a chance since the first movie was very good when the movie was over i understand why my brother thought this movie was bad the only plus in this movie was the music by the and the cult but this is a movie and the music soundtrack is not the most important thing and i saw that it has been released four sequels after this film i haven't seen none of them but can they be as awful as this one i have no plans to see them but maybe i will see them some time,negative

this is quite possibly the worst documentary i have ever seen it looked so amateurish chris was one of the directors of the war room which was a great movie albeit a little one sided but it looked beautiful com looked like it was shot in some guy's basement the quality was so pitiful that i couldn't stand watching it i saw about 30 minutes or so and i had to take it back to blockbuster and get something else i can't understand how something so amateurish some from someone like chris how the hell did this win any awards to begin with the war room definitely deserved an award as did another great documentary called both won awards this documentary looked like it was done by uncle joe who also does on the shaky lit lighting bad sound a 10 year old could make a better film than that guy did,negative
i just watched national christmas vacation 2 on dvd hoping to see something at least close to the original great holiday comedy i saw nothing of the kind you can tell right from the start that this movie just wasn't going to measure up it's too bad it has a title that it to the original christmas vacation it's really kind of sad the film can't stand on it's own merits i think too many people will view this film on the strength of the title and it does not come close to that level of comedy other than the title there is very little connecting the movie to the original and even less of a connection to christmas at all the comedy is very simplistic and the plot poor children might find some humor here but most adults would only get a chuckle here and there this movie is a flop don't waste your time with it,negative
teenage exorcist is one of those god awful films to video that makes the viewer give up any expectations of decent entertainment for low brow sexual antics adolescent humour and empty writing this film delivers exactly what its was trying to deliver it is about a girl moving into a house where a baron de hmmm once lived and finally being drawn to him through her own inner demon her sister and brother in law along with an irish priest her boyfriend and a pizza delivery boy try to save her and her demon well not much here in way of horror or suspense in fact one line from the film pretty much sums up what to expect mike the girl's brother in law has tied her the name is diane by the way and she is played by stevens up after trying to chainsaw her sister he a gag from her mouth and says something like this won't be the last gag we see tonight indeed it was not the special effects are cheesy and poorly crafted and the film makes use of this by playing on its comedic appeal some of the lines and situations are funny robert old count himself really steals his scenes as an irish priest he it up biblical and irish songs you know you are in trouble however when eddie gets top billing does his and has a couple nice moments as well but the material is just too than to be anything more than teenage time filler michael from the hills have eyes also has a brief but interesting cameo in the film as for the other well they are all pretty good at being pretty mediocre stevens is lovely in and french cut but beyond that don't expect too much more from her her sister is played by and she shows a bit more than a very lovely young lady by the way and out acts by miles her husband played by jay richardson shows off his ability to act and be funny amidst mediocrity again not a bad film to waste a little time that involves no thinking on if you are a robert fan watch it for his performance at the very least,negative
james didn't expect that he would be the next prime minister unlike in america the party is elected in britain while we americans vote for candidates regardless of their party despite the differences paul performance as minister turned prime minister almost overnight is helped by his senior sir played by another knight sir and veteran actor derek also returns to the scene as well now instead of pleasing some people he has to please the nation rather than his now he has a hard job to do even more difficult than before now he must the list and work with her as well on a regular basis is not the type he is rather than the every man who we like and don't want to dislike and turn into a villain of sorts or a vicious dictator now we see the prime point of view and all the pleasing that must go on as well as handle strikes,positive
i never saw any of the work until early last year although when channel one night i caught the end of one the series three episodes but last winter i fell in love with the show and its dark eccentric and sometimes downright sinister characters so when i they had made a film in which the show's lovable creators met their own characters i couldn't order the dvd fast enough and near on it from my hands when he delivered it i was so excited to see what the had done and how they'd done it br br and it was excellent from the beginning where jeremy michael sheen is by edward and why didn't you play yourself he's perfectly capable as viewers of the infamous house of horrors know to yet another one of her flock to and discovering that they are characters which is a great scene the scenes set in are very enjoyable with the turning their hands to yet more characters and an all new plot david turn as doctor is fantastic slightly camp and very funny br br the league have always been brilliant at humour with sadness and emotion and the climax of this film where is struggling with the idea that he and the other residents are just fictional people who will never be able to change who they are or their purpose and to witness how it's breaking him down is really sad and beautiful to watch at the same time and that really shows the talent something for which they are terribly overlooked for to this day br br and then you have that rather clever ending where you sit in wonder with beautiful theme music playing and you know you've enjoyed a very clever and funny film,positive
saw this movie at a saturday with a friend theater was about 70 full br br although there are quite a few funny lines it is more of a drama suspense with humor on top robin williams gives a decent performance as does laura being a daily show fan lewis black is pretty good in this christopher walken gives a good performance also br br the movie starts out slow and remains that way for about the first thirty minutes then the suspense part kicks in and starts keeping you a little on edge throughout the rest of the movie suspense in a supposed comedy movie i know that i as well as everybody else in the place was struggling a bit with this a character would crack a joke during suspense sequence and you would hear just one or two laughs in the theater br br in all fairness after the movie was over there was of applause so definitely some people enjoyed this movie br br i gave this movie a four out of ten because i believe the comedy aspect doesn't work very well in a suspense drama movie and the actors performances while not bad were just decent br br again this movie isn't what was advertised,negative
shines as the only truly strong and compassionate member of a strictly family her brother david is so by their father that it's a surprise he's able even to tie his shoes rather than asking dad to do it for him br br other reviewers have already the plot so i won't rehash it i will however point out that who is pregnant by david is also married to him this is not an out of which would have been horrific by standards the two are secretly married but father having been paid by david's father tears up their marriage br br death scene with in is a truly heart experience and highly charged with emotion this scene alone is worth watching the movie for but there's far more to the plot than that why on earth aren't modern movies made with the same attention to the story,positive
it is difficult to compete against classic greatness but once you make that choice and the decision is in play you need find the best and resources to keep your product top and on the cutting edge of quality if your intention is to aim for second or third or fourth best why even try it is with that i wonder why this version of the ten was written produced and aired i would ask the producers what were you thinking were you to create a projected if perhaps the producers were thinking we want to examine this biblical story from another point of view then i would say ok i watched the show now what's the point of view the premise of this possible point of view theory me i can generally watch programs and right or wrong at least get a sense of what the creators were trying to accomplish not so here i recognize names such as robert the producer and i can associate his work with some eye catching product tin man flash gordon jason and the low budget entertainment based on myth history and comic book entertainment a perfect genre for sci fi channel so i still have to ask robert what was the point of this ten what were you thinking,negative

i just found the entire 3 dvd set at wal mart in the bargain bin for 5 50 so i thought i would take another look total of 13 hours to watch it all 26 episodes i was born in 1948 and saw most of them on tv in the sixties many independent stations repeated them for many years br br better than i expected actually time has been kind to the obvious sincerity of it's creators and to the obvious and respect they give to all the allied fighting men and women more abstract and arty than a straight forward documentary but very truthful in it's depiction of the causes and final results of wwii that war was greatly on sea and the final victory was on who achieved the final of the world's the allies were the ones who were able to do it br br interesting too to see how they try to strike a balance between big events and the individual soldiers and sailors that made them happen the score is impressive if a bit too much by today's standards i read somewhere that robert russell bennett contributed just as much as richard to final score i imagine that provided all the major themes and it was up to bennett to fit them to the images great job br br should be seen by every or potential a warning to that wars are eventually won by ideals determination and the supplies to back them up their quality and delivery will determine the eventual the allies and the material quality of the attacked their very source in the process and their eventual defeat br br sorry to see that the producer henry lived a very short life facts were rather skimpy i have to find out more about him he did a few more outstanding documentaries before his early death might have more to say at a later time br br trivia i had all 3 records made of the background music pretty good overall unfortunately the producers decided to add sound effects to the last one immediately to just novelty status rather than for serious music listening too bad too because it contained some interesting but more minor themes in the series silly stuff like 16 inch guns firing being fired planes just for kids mainly br br,positive
the movie and the earth did not swallow him based on the book by is an eye opening movie for most people it talks about the exploitation that go through in order to survive br br sergio uses techniques to depict story he uses and gray scale effects to depict some of the scenes and he uses specific techniques to make the scenes look like they took place in the 1950s br br also gives life to the film by using time appropriate music including and guitar playing br br i feel that it is a good film to view because it shows in detail how live what they do for entertainment and their beliefs,positive
twins effect is a poor film in so many respects the only good element is that it doesn't take itself seriously other than that this is not really a movie but rather a tool for the film's two stars popular pop in their native hong kong br br the film itself is poorly constructed and acted the direction offers up some silly martial arts which is odd since the action director and supposedly co director is like many hong kong films for the teen audience the major of actors like the twins the two girls who stars in this film and there is so much bad music to the audience into believing certain scenes are funny clever etc br br the final conclusion it's all for even as a fan of hong kong movies this is a poor film not funny enough not serious enough and just generally too bubble fake for its own good br br 3 out of 10 br br go to http www com for a more in depth review of this movie and other foreign films,negative
i'm surprised this movie still exists in any form let alone it being available for rent br br this flick is one of the many bad slasher flicks that exist only for the t a and the cheap laughs the story line crosses a bit of texas chainsaw massacre with a back story reminiscent of psycho and a bit of the good old women in chains tough as nail ex con tossed in for good measure in other words complete wrapped up in half naked women with a dash of utter idiocy looking on as the director attempts to make the land of pass off as southern u s land is sad i tell ya br br funny thing for me is i was actually at the of this flick as at the time i was pals with the film's star it was painful to watch on as jeremy into his seat whilst the flick its wings br br i'm happy to see that after this of a first flick has grown into one hell of an actor he can be seen regularly on the canadian cop drama blue murder has appeared on not to mention his role in the classic clint eastwood film we forgive ya jeremy it was a rocky start but you done good man br br t paul,negative
the girls might be if you're their or a faced what i'm is that it'll take special circumstances for a non reaction to this effort the delivery of many lines appears to be unnatural for some actors lighting seems to be a problem too although failing may have for my frequent and if you view this film be open minded enough to accept elements that no or circus would reject they are the above and below ground creatures who on dozens of near an empty mansion that's the discovery of a trio who is from their media to investigate the deaths then two of them disappear and the survivor is part of another who take up the hunt i just realized what one of those aforementioned special circumstances would be,negative

i was so looking forward to seeing this when it was in production but it turned out to be the the biggest let down a far cry from the whimsical world of dr seuss it was vulgar and i don't think dr seuss would have how the grinch stole christmas was much better i understand it had some subtle adult jokes in it but my children have yet to catch on whereas the cat in the hat screamed they caught a lot more than i would have liked growing up with dr seuss it really bothered me to see how this timeless classic got on the big screen lets see what they do with hears a who i hope this one does dr seuss some justice,negative
one of the most sublime of american masterpieces opens the film by with his open mouth on a we wonder is he coming off a heroin high we just see his face then flash his body flash his naked rear i can't think of another film that used this flash form of editing so well to create a hypnotic mood an editing method that works wonderfully as both pacing and style after that introduction when opens his mouth his accent is jarring we expect him to be some kind of soft spoken instead he's got the voice of a street thug isn't comfortable letting our go the lengthy opening is very sexy and playful it's a combination of martial troubles fascinating lip kisses and early morning sexual it all kind of flows together if not always smoothly then emotionally realistically br br what i got from this was the same as what i got from the 400 blows when i first saw it this is like a 20 something of that story there's a sense of between the flesh sellers and the when walks the street looking for men to his wife's abortion there's the feeling of a secret as boys make deals with each other i never found it boring though nothing happens nothing happens brilliantly the boys hanging around as they do waiting for tricks the main trick that finds is fascinating to watch using greek and only touching his back a form of aesthetic body worship on the man's part it's also dreadfully funny i'm not talking to an empty bed am i it's one of the most revealing scenes in the movie in any movie i think certainly any movie dealing with sex and sex for sale when eyes seem red and we can't tell if it's because he's drunk ashamed embarrassed or all br br the conversations in the film are cut up they don't matter the film is silent in a few scenes some of the most poignant and beautiful you may ever experience yet when chooses to include one the way he includes it we sort of piece it together it's startling such as one conversation between and a hustler and neither of them ever mentioning the word gay or hustler what follows is a scene where we listen to a pair of as gets this just after explaining to the getting used to the job br br is a subject worthy of the attention paid to him both by his and he's less than effective as an actor in the sense of acting as performing but as far as revealing something he's incredible he's someone we immediately want to feel above yet we go through his experiences with all their and we're forced to try and know him he's the kind of blank that we're drawn to but can't get a hold on and of course he's incredibly striking forgetting everything else this is partially a testament to the beauty of the male body gorgeous and br br the movie has one devastating scene but like everything else you can't really master it a girl says that she's been raped and her only self defense is in saying that had the rapist only asked for sex her he would have gotten a better lay it's shattering the movie has feeling for everyone but even better than that it's not merely sympathetic it actually attempts to help us understand human beings and without ever what it is we're meant to be understanding it neither looks down on nor the people within the film it feels when we see arm around a when he reads a letter he talks about not getting past grade eight at one point he's utterly charming as he pauses on a word then says and continues br br you can learn something more profound from the interaction between and one of his in terms of gay straight relationships than you can from any case study here we have the young boy who smiles his top lip disappears as he does so when a 30 something gym bunny korean war veteran runs his fingers through his hair it's a scene that feels very profound this adult man sharing something with a younger version of himself it's not two gay men together or a gay man paying a straight man it's something else you can't put your finger on questions of sexuality are beside the point never before has popping a seemed as after sharing something with each other emotionally though with since he's there for money it's never apparent why he's there though he's never less than sincere which may be his most quality so can you help me out the man says sure i don't mean my pants 10 10,positive
spoilers spoilers i loved the set up and consistently laughed throughout the entire movie the acting was great with my favorite part being kevin kline attempts to be a man the and parents did a great job as a supporting cast spoiler warning the acting of his conservative family's acceptance and attempts to be polite were heartwarming and believable my only problem with the end was the fact that howard was actually gay the movie is set up as a be who you want to be but the movie actually does the opposite logic behind his discovery is the fact that he loves barbra movies and enjoys dancing to music his mannerisms and tastes appear to be gay and it isn't until it is pointed out to him that he realizes it rather than setting howard free it holes him oh he likes to dance to music than he must be gay his confession at the marriage felt like a down to wishes in the end the movie becomes a gay rights movie which was not the original course it almost becomes bland with the rest i believe the movie would had been ultimately better had howard been straight it would have been to the message,positive
this movie takes the voice of terror and makes it better holmes is protecting an in switzerland and is on the trail of professor who has become a nazi this is a better version of holmes in a wwii world does a great job with holmes as a spy and a detective see this if you liked the voice of terror,positive
i watched this film for the second time tonight after about three years and it was as wonderful as before br br there are more than a dozen modern stunning french films from en de to the three colours trilogy and all of them are special this film is one of them a true delight with so many great things going for it from the homage to hitchcock to two beautiful ladies in and monica while monica is very beautiful is a very sexy lady and steals many of the scenes she br br i am not sure why people think this film is convoluted as the scenes are such a perfect blend of past and present acting as a to the characters' own remarkable journey that the film simply flows and you barely realise that minutes of beauty and mystery have left the viewed enchanted and br br like most french and european films this story would never translate across the atlantic as no studio could capture the magic without the life out of it with the hollywood common to most movies that become lost in translation americans make brilliant films but not of this type perhaps if they let someone like a young polanski work on it then maybe they would not totally butcher an english version br br for those who do not watch subtitled films you will spend a lifetime in ignorant bliss for those who can read then you would be yourself to miss films like this br br i would describe this as neo franco noir but only to cheese off the reviewer who called this film i think i saw him doing an add for four and twenty he thinks is a type of french it is arty in the way that pulp fiction is arty but with more br br 10 out of 10 with every viewing and has anyone got phone number she is the perfect french dressing,positive
is one of the best new danish tv series that i have watched br br the series is about the danish police unit 1 a kinda fbi style team that help solve murder cases all over the country and the cases they work on plus the influence that their jobs have on their personal lives and the price they sometimes has to pay to be a part of a top police team br br i didn't expect much when i started watching this series i was pleasantly surprised the series is exciting sometimes fun it's got both drama and suspense i love it,positive
i am a big fan of the abc movies of the week genre i am only 27 meaning i wasn't even born until after the series ended but i am trying to collect as many of them on dvd as possible i have about a dozen or so i had read such wonderful things about this film both on here and elsewhere that i was really excited to see it i just received my dvd in the mail today and watched it i'll admit that the first one or two phone calls did give me the creeps that boy's voice would give anyone the creeps but it began to off fast and the entire divorce subplot was stupid i also figured out that michael douglas was the antagonist about a half an hour before the movie ended as soon as that story was told about how elizabeth character had locked up his mother i knew something was plus didn't anyone ever think to ask him why he happened to suddenly appear that night when the fire occurred in the i'll admit that i thought he was a boy at the school to make the phone calls i didn't guess the mute boy part or the pre recorded tapes did they ever say whose voice that actually was i doubt douglas could ever get his voice that high br br i am only giving this movie a four out of ten because i actually liked most of the acting in it ashley especially is great br br it's a shame because this movie has such a great premise but oh well thats what happens sometimes when one gets his or her hopes up for a movie too much,negative
richard 1991 documentary about gary cooper gary cooper american life american legend gives us a look at the tremendous all american star through his films and his life narrated by clint eastwood the theme is definitely gary american as we are taken through fast clips of his many appearances in westerns and scenes from meet john mr deeds goes to town and sgt york the best part of the documentary is the home movies of cooper and his family as well as his childhood photos showing him as a beautiful blonde kid with the sunny smile he would have his entire life there is also a hilarious clip of cooper on the jack benny show doing the comeback on the number bird dog and benny loses it the documentary also takes us briefly through his affair with patricia which nearly ruined both their lives br br there's a certain missing from this bio it jumps around a lot and has no footage of cooper being interviewed which would have added a lot also clint eastwood's narration was described as what it was was boring and given that cooper himself tended to be the strong silent type on screen we could have used a little animation br br on a personal note gary cooper was one of the men who ever lived there were some looks at him in his early films but not nearly enough for this fan that smile those lips that bone structure he was handsome throughout his life but in films like and desire he is devastating instead of sitting through a scene from one of his worst performances as howard in the giving a speech that he admitted to the author he did not understand a young suave cooper in a would have been a nice touch this documentary alas was definitely produced by a man,positive
this movie is truly unbelievable in every sense of the word i couldn't believe what i was seeing and hearing and i didn't believe it anyhow hepburn is probably my favorite actress but this was ridiculous being a myself i know what it should sound like and it's not back bay accent the only thing i found funnier was the fact that the guy who played charlie chan so many times sydney was cast as another one of the with accent to match maybe this was a practical joke come to think of it i can think of no other reason for such peculiar casting well maybe this i noticed that natalie on island appeared in this play on broadway can you imagine what part she might have played,negative
i tried watching this movie but i didn't make it past the first 15 minutes it's a terrible disappointment considering the cast but i can't look past the fact that the dialogue is in english and some of the actors pretending to be indian are not even close read considering that india alone has 1 of the world's population and one of the biggest movie i don't think it would have been hard for the film makers to have found an excellent indian actress to play the part and i don't say so because of some blind but because it's absolutely and totally absurd for a non indian to play the role of an indian now some people say that long as she's convincing who cares ' but my point is exactly that she's not convincing and never can be not due to her acting skills but due to her for example however good an actor tom hanks may be he'll never be able to play an australian br br but that is still minor to the biggest faux the film makers made having the dialogue in english it totally destroys the mood as well as any semblance of authenticity had the same movie been made in native languages hindi with english subtitles this may have been an excellent movie unfortunately as things stand i would not recommend anyone seeing it apart from film students who want to study what not to do in movies,negative
i was watching the sci fi channel when this steaming pile of crap came on while not as bad as curse of the this still sucks bad uses the same island as in curse of the as well as the same actors and house the effects are top notch but thats about it i don't know what else to say about this movie oh yeah as in curse of the the government gets involved and decides to bomb the island also when i saw this part i laughed hysterically a part man and overall this movie is utter crap even on bad movie standards just remember if jim had anything to do with a movie steer clear to avoid from falling asleep keep repeating it's almost over it's almost over 0 out of 5,negative
a fine line up of actors and a seemingly nice plot though not original promised me a nice evening in front of the tv i was disappointed the actors delivered up to standard juliette lewis as ever william hurt solid but in the background shelley duvall convincing as ever but the story was too thin to keep me engaged to the story and the twist to the finale was too obvious and too late there was only one character who was nice to he girl so guess what then the final after i do not know what to think of that the boyfriend and the neighbor contract with the devil or just to get her to move in what the film had a nice idea behind it but the idea was not worked out in detail it could have been good but it was not too many loose ends to tie up columbo would say,negative
as an avid disney fan i was not totally impressed by this movie certainly not motivated enough to catch it in the theaters i am however so glad that i caught it on dvd and watched the special features br br you must check out the commentary the entire movie can be viewed with commentary from and the comic relief of the story who are voiced by rick and dave thomas two veterans of the famous second city comedy ad in character for an hour and a half about a movie that they are clearly fond of i laughed the whole time the enjoyment i got from this commentary completely made up for the tepid reaction i had to the film itself do yourself a favor and listen to it,negative
if you have seen the version of you will find this to be very similar in story line but has different songs and takes place in not although this is a remake of you will find that and make this a unique film and make a great pair a few were when character character for going to buy a present for him he never and she still stays with him in the end good action and songs make this an all around great movie i recommend it br br i give it a 10 10 one of the best i have seen,positive
this movie starts out the way every movie should start out with a bunch of hot babes in a walking around in their and or topless a couple of them take i'm liking it so far unfortunately we then meet or main characters they're just not particularly likable usually in these movies the actresses aren't really acting they give very natural performances and they're quite sympathetic fun and likable not here they don't have much of any personality and i didn't care for them much br br some of the girls go on a camping trip for school on the way they stop at a backwoods gas station and meet a biker gang the biker gang should really have been left out of the movie it was cheesy before but now it's just plain stupid the head biker looks like a middle aged guy dressed up as john bon for halloween the girls go out to the woods and later the biker gang follows them br br i don't really know what the heck happens after that there's a bunch of stuff about the world ending because it's the end of the millennium then some of the get killed by a mysterious indian dude who keeps disappearing somebody gets eaten by a cheesy lock monster thing as he's swimming across a lake some guy in silly makeup is apparently a and he needs to sacrifice some of the girls in order to the end of the world or maybe cause the end of the world i'm afraid i wasn't paying much attention first he dresses the girls up in animal skin br br it could have been a really fun cheesy movie but the biker gang kind of ruined the atmosphere and the plot was so that it didn't even live up to my grade z schlock expectations they really should have eliminated half the plot elements and just focused on one or two things instead it's all over the place overall if you're looking for late schlock i imagine you could do worse if you tried really hard there's plenty of nudity at the beginning but the characters are kind of crummy and the plot is too nonsensical to be even the least bit satisfying,negative

interesting plot but painfully dull the script lacks lacks acting to me this film with made for tv type movies i was lucky to survive the film without falling asleep in my popcorn i watched this film with my family it is fairly safe to watch with your kids only 1 semi sex scene if you wish to see a young meg ryan check out this movie very 80 ish you will like this movie if you like the combination of depressed people at christmas booze super and or maybe you are like me and have have a higher standard for acting in films however i did like the way the movie began and ended mark,negative
it started off weird the middle was weird and the ending was weird but i really really liked it a modern day version of but that is really irrelevant interesting story and casting clooney was great and i applaud him for taking on such an role so unlike anything he has done or ever will do again lots of surprise stars why isn't holly hunter in more do something different tonight and watch this really different and unexpected flick,positive
not many people remember the carey treatment and i can't say i blame them br br blake did this during his lean years i e between pink movies and for a story of a doctor turned detective coburn working to solve a murder in his hospital it's actually pretty forgettable br br coburn is as always and o'neill is beautiful as always but there just seems to be something missing from the proceedings the story twists and turns aren't very involving and even the climax which is supposed to be nerve is gut wrenching instead br br a missed opportunity altogether and an unfortunate one at that since it was based on a michael book br br oh well at least didn't write a sequel to it br br one star carey on coburn,negative
other than it the characters from the first film and gave them more essentially the werewolf fell in love with the vampire a romeo and juliet scenario you know is going to end badly if you've seen the first movie so with absolutely no suspense we forward with two hours of cgi and actors with little or no screen presence all shot in that color that the first movie had because nothing was shot in daylight br br worth your time probably not in fact the quality has gone down even the cgi looks like it was done on the cheap you don't buy for a minute that these are real werewolves,negative
love is one of the best movies i've seen in a while it's an emotional roller coaster one of my favorite scenes is the pub scene when tells grace that he didn't want to go to the pub because the villagers don't like him you expect the worst when the old woman holds her glass up and says the memory of victor fox and the whole pub follows suit i wanted to cry the funeral scene is hysterical julie does it in her typical julie andrews style is excellent as victor grace is one of kathy best roles meredith steals just about every scene that she is in rupert everett does some of his finest work in as the kiss between rupert and meredith took me to another bout of in this day and age of gay rights being i think this movie should be seen by all as a gay man in my late 40's i have seen people lose everything when a loved one dies so to all involved in the making of this film,positive
the most enjoyable parts of this film were the clips from the original movie the acting was poor and the premise of sexual was revolting the effects were at best there were no stand out performances amy irving was put in this film to try and get a part of the halloween audience the original was much more enjoyable and i am sorry to say that this is not going to be one of the years 10 best so far it is at the bottom of my list don't bother with this one folks,negative
this has to be one of if not the greatest mob crime films of all time every thing about this movie is great the acting in this film is of true quality master acting skills make you actually believe he is italian the cinematography is excellent too probably the best ever this movie was great and i have the brain capacity of an earth worm,negative
all those that identify this as a simple rip off of are there no other comments that you can make towards the movie on its own merits as an individual film regardless of its apparent similarities to other movies br br all those that question the of the movie in terms of its stereotypical characters the obligatory gay the jock the disabled kid etc i'm not sure how long it has been since you were at school but regardless of how amateurish the acting may be the happenings that go one are surprisingly close to what may actually happen br br and all those that disregard the film as being so simple just six teenagers with the regular teenage angst that pushes one over the edge did anyone stop to think and take notice that the girl who took her life wasn't actually one of those six as one comment points out she had screen time of maybe max the final scenes i think the point of the film is not only to make an issue of teenage angst and how far it can take someone but also that it is no apparently obvious who is always in danger of committing such an act suicide,positive

i saw this at the toronto inter film festival in 2005 the description seemed intriguing how wrong i was this could easily be the worst movie i have ever seen in 50 years i see the director is my age b 1948 and lived with of the underground which leads us to andy which is the one i thought of while watching this 24 hour movies of nothing much happening this is not art this is boredom br br specifically black white ok maybe but what is the purpose here surely they had color in 1968 and there is no contrast with the present and yes the subtitles were in white naturally i don't think i missed much but that made about 20 of them br br next it's pure order but with seemingly random events thrown in what's the purpose of the conversation with the old man at the dinner table it adds nothing to the movie there were many similar scenes almost like someone took a camcorder and filmed random people and spliced them together to make a movie br br plot none the riot consists of some figures in the distance occasionally a rock off screen mostly it's an excruciating length of time watching people in the distance stand around the repetitive smoking is just as boring when the main character got a cute girlfriend i up but no she was boring too this is perhaps the only french film i've seen where no one takes off their clothes probably they were too bored to bother br br romance none the girl seems totally indifferent to everything maybe her holds some interest but if it does we're not shown that we are completely indifferent to the fate of the characters because they are all unappealing maybe that's the point of all this,negative
is set in romania where two american college students laura mae michelle arrive to study local with the aid of local friend there they rent rooms in a hotel become curious about the mysterious ruins of a nearby castle it turns out that a powerful evil vampire named lives there who has stolen the from his father king takes a fancy to the three girls starts drinking the blood of meanwhile falls for a guy named michael watson who just so happens to be brother decide to team up rid the world of the evil br br directed by ted this film seems to be quite highly regarded amongst genre fans while it's not terrible i certainly wouldn't call it very good i really see anything much to get excited about is a rather slow going film not that much actually happens while it does try to stay close to certain classic vampire there's all this nonsense about a some little monsters that grow from the of severed fingers for some reason could have been a half decent film if not for the fact that it's dull i really can't remember that much about it good or bad the character's are alright but some f the dialogue is silly there's a scene which me near the start when the girls are at the castle ruins one says they have to go because it's getting dark yet it's still clearly the middle of the day very bright there's also a scene where one of the american girls finds a coffin that attic doesn't really seem that bothered by it i am not being funny but is some bloke whose house i was staying at had a coffin in his attic i would be very very worried if you know what i mean i don't think i would ever want to watch it again there's no real threat the plot is weak that mixes classic vampire themes with silly subplots i was distinctly by it all not the worst film ever but hardly the best either br br the film looks alright with nice locations some local scenery although you feel the look is down to the budget rather than the makers attempt a authenticity there's not much gore apart from a some broken off finger for no apparent reason the makers throw in some average looking stop motion animated monsters that really don't do anything or have much significance to the story br br filmed on the cheap by charles full moon entertainment production company in in romania the production values are alright better than many later day band productions the acting isn't great with many of the cast putting in below par performances while genre regular has a small cameo at the start there's a little bit of style here on occasion with a few scene reminding heavily of the original in particular the bit showing shadow coming down the with his long claw like standing out br br is a film that many seem to like for reasons i don't quite see i thought it was average at best overall rather dull followed by ii 1993 iii 1994 4 1998 the film vampire 1997,negative
solo is a poor film that cannot be ignored the acting for the most part is very wooden the only exception is performance as creator bill and the story is slight enough that you would probably forget it whilst you where watching the film that said such films are more about the action than the plot acting and as such live or die by the action set pieces that after all is the point of such films to give 14 year olds something to smile at whilst the adults watch films of actual substance and even on this solo fails to deliver what little action there is is poorly done dull and uninspired after seeing the trailer for this on television i was hoping for something along the lines of predator with a robot replacing the instead i got a fairly lifeless action film with a poorly constructed attempt at depth by taking on message that robots can feel too watch terminator ii or predator instead both classics that this film desperately wants to be except it lacks the inspiration or to be fair the budget,negative
what impressed me the most about one true thing was how up front it was when the daughter mentions her mother's cancer at the beginning of the movie as depressing the subject matter was it was a refreshing change of pace instead of being with the revelation about a character's fatal illness 2 3 into the movie love story terms of etc br br meryl streep and william hurt give very strong performances that don't go over the edge the characters they play seem human they're not perfect people arguably one might not say that about the martha stewart type character streep plays but throughout the film i found her character to be noble in a non sappy way she's dealing with her plight the best way she knows how br br one true thing is an family drama in which the tears at the end were well earned,positive
i loved the original p h and was somewhat satisfied with ii and to iii then i saw part iv oh boy as a i did my best to give part 4 as much credit as i could but it's pretty bad the wedding reception fight right at the beginning of the film is a horrendous mess for one thing the and mccoy storyline is stupid and cliché how did the producers get away with using that tired family storyline wow unbelievable the acting besides is below average the plot and script are mind numbing the actual editing and cinematography are average as is the directing i mean the movie isn't a total loss as always i really enjoy watching i love seeing the witch and like watching ghost in action but all three characters had way too much screen time i thought and would wind up going out to a club for an evening bite to eat and drinks the way the were being so buddy buddy in her cabin the bottom line is is that i wanted all the characters in this fest of a plot line to be dead within 20 minutes of the start of the picture where does sci fi get these so called film production professionals from anyway i could do a better job writing a script stone cold drunk i'm sure there was a limited budget and everything but come on see it if your a fan of the other three but just once and then go back and stick to the original two shame on you sci fi,negative
this film broke a lot of ground and receives on the whole a lot less credit than it's due it touches on a topic that is ever present in our daily lives but which is seen as a phenomenon so common that it does not merit discussion this phenomenon is that of be they doctors or as in broken promise a senior social worker who abuse their position in order to harm those they have been charged to protect br br in broken promise patty and her family are abandoned by their parents but are soon picked up by local law faced with the certain of foster care patty begs a young social worker to keep her and her brothers and sisters together this social worker approaches a senior member of another department but his request is denied br br the children are off to homes thereby following the opinions of the day and a clean break but it is this event the broken promise which gives the film it's name which causes the dramatic tension that is to continue throughout the film by the young social apparent betrayal patty runs away from the foster home she has been sent to br br faced with the task of finding her family in a climate where the ideal is seen to be a complete from the past she does the only the thing she can to their and breaks into the senior social office to steal the br br soon after she finds she has made a dangerous enemy furious at the embarrassment this little girl has caused him and his department the senior social worker decides to use his power and authority to destroy her something that he is quite capable of doing br br br br this topic of the harm of to is relatively taboo it certainly has been touched on very little in films as few directors wish to the path that would imply that cause harm br br i think that this film plays a very important role in making the public more aware of this sort of thing the case portrayed is not only plausible but has probably happened many times before to many other children all over the world this film is critical to changing public opinion in order to get rid of the laws that protect people like the senior social worker in broken promise br br i strongly recommend broken promise it is especially appropriate viewing for social workers doctors and other it is a lesson in that should be taken to heart br br br br in terms of the acting in broken promise melissa plays a superb part as patty especially in films such as this believability is critical if the viewer did not identify with the character of patty the whole message of the film would be in it's unfortunate that melissa doesn't still act in films today as her performance in broken promise shows her to have had exceptional talent,positive
i love these stranger within thrillers some good examples are fatal attraction single white female and audition done well they can be a lot of fun and worth an hour or two of solid shocks and scares of course the opposite can be true done poorly they can be tedious and stupid the hand that rocks the cradle is one of the latter br br the claire and michael matt mccoy are another member to their family but busy claire is by michael to hire a one day a woman named rebecca shows up and because she seems perfect the hire her of course once she shows up their life is slowly br br this film suffers from a of problems but the biggest one is the handling of the villain is never believable part of this has to do with how she's written and how she's acted the things that she does that are supposed to put us on edge are so contrived that they're laughable de doesn't help much she portrays as two different people while it's true she's supposed to be the perfect while hiding her psychotic de performance creates a between the two of her character br br the other actors are good however is terrific as the claire is very natural in the role but unfortunately the script lets her down matt mccoy is almost invisible however moore is delightful as friend marlene moore is a but unfortunately she's only on screen for a total of five minutes br br curtis is a good director but you wouldn't know it from watching this dud the film has a few decent shocks but it's poorly paced and the climax while some tension is actually kind of laughable that being said he's working with a script that at best could be called pathetic br br trust me when it comes to stick with this one should have gone to the direct to video bin,negative
all i have to say is one word sucks the only reason i gave this a 2 is because josh was in it and he's cool should have beat that guys ass stupid dumb and brainless by the end of this movie you can't stand and you really don't care what happens to was the only good thing about it,negative
first off let it be known that i came into this movie not for the music actually i find it really i was interested in the psychology of the punk on this point the documentary did fairly well one aspect was the numerous scenes in which songs are played and the hyped up band and crowd are shown running amok if you've seen the first such scene you've seen them all this is party made up for by lyrics for some of the songs with these the audience is able to somewhat connect mentally with the band the lyrics are of far more interest than the of sounds from the i don't know why all the lyrics were not scenes without lyrics slow ironic eh given the many references to the speed of the music the flow of the movie also insightful were the interviews with fans and bands though there is a letdown when the latter interviews prove to be not nearly as enthralling or humorous as the first two overall a good movie that i'm glad i saw i'll check out the follow ups if i ever get a chance br br favorite quote he tried to hide the fact that he couldn't play by over himself and breaking glass br br broad punk though their lack of and and drug induced is often hilarious in the end it is understood that are just pathetic who rebel just for the sake of rebellion as seen through lyrics and naive attempts to and black flag who are slightly less misguided than their peers,positive
for all those people who believe the dialog is worth something and who appreciate a farce that is clever enough for you to take it seriously this movie will surprise you it is not a for people who can't aren't able to follow the verbal exchange of our hero professor dennis quaid br br teaches in southern california near the he has not published a novel in four years his wife is him he drinks a bit much and is blessed or cursed with wit which he to his students he has recommended a friend for and one bright young student has a to him as an independent project doesn't even want to read it so gives it an a and pushes it to the side back with a drink in his office he stares out the window when the bright young student falls past his window on the way to meeting the sidewalk in a encounter br br hal comes to talk and they chat drinking some more the realizes that he has to read the now when he goes home his wife is waiting with divorce papers he drinks some more she leaves and he goes to a affair only to find her there he drinks even more and when his wife learns that the student is dead she and he learns that she had been having an affair with the student this of course him to do some more serious drinking the next morning he wakes up to find himself in the room of one of his students a named meg ryan br br he feels worse than a goes to the doctor and learns that he has been it is and he has 24 48 hours to live he doesn't have much time to find out who killed him and there are sub plots motives relationships and surprises at every turn although everything makes sense at the end all his and are with sarcasm dry wit and keen observations let's just say that this movie will give new meaning to the or br br there are no bad performances in this movie there are images and symbolism used at careful watch for the glass and images distorted through glass some of the camera shots are revolutionary for 1988 and some of the violent action is carefully and choreographed the music is and appropriate although occasionally it makes it's own statement in song lyrics the visuals in this flick are impressive br br if there are any failures it is that the opening 20 minutes move a little slow and nearly puts you to sleep but the pacing picks up quickly with just the right amount of exposition in between action segments br br there are no explicit sexual encounters although there is violence and some bad language br br this is a writer's movie and is best appreciated by those who have a sense of humor about their own success or failure i do think if you take it seriously you're already in big trouble,positive
the jazz singer is one of a number of films made in the late 1940's and 1950 about the jewish experience in the united states other than and which dealt with anti they usually had a musical theatre background these films included the story 1946 sings again 1949 the eddy story 1951 the eddie story 1953 the benny goodman story 1956 and 1958 the leading actors in these jewish films were always played by non jews for example larry parks a non jew played al and gene kelly played in this casting was probably done to make the jewish theme to a mainly non jewish audience the jazz singer is no different danny thomas was a catholic and peggy lee was certainly not jewish although she plays a non practicing in the film the clue to her background is when she the family meal before entering she says i haven't been to a service since i left home br br the film is about a son who has just left the service after seeing action in korea his dilemma is whether to become a a family tradition or to be a singer in musical theatre his choice of theatre leads to an inevitable conflict with his father br br however there is much more to this film than this this film was made after the trial during the mccarthy and the hollywood therefore in this film the jews are shown as good loyal citizens and br br are american the choir would rather play baseball than practice the friends also talk about baseball in fact one of them is a major league the itself dates back to and george washington is said to have visited therefore jews are presented as part and of american society nobody in this film has a eastern european accent peggy lee appeared in very few feature films in this film you get to see her sing lover and just one of those things wonderful danny thomas is quite credible and he acts and sings the part very well the comedic routines could have been left out yes the film is and sentimental but it is well worth seeing i enjoyed it very much,positive
the things that i find irritating on screen the things i about and annoy the people who try to watch movies with me are those moment where the writer director set designer on screen or whoever doesn't think it through to the end and by a single act of or all the other work done by everyone else who has worked on the movie that moment of wait a bloody minute what just happened that stops the narrative dead in its tracks not that this film's narrative needed a lot of stopping because anyone who has ever seen it will know that narrative drive has pretty well frozen solid before the end of the opening shot there are several of those moments in this movie and you get so long to think about them too the film is two hours long and the scripted dialogue probably ran to five pages there's a lot of time to its br br the movie is set in a frozen earth another ice age has set in and the whole world is dying it's cold very cold it's actually very cold on the screen the movie was shot in canada in winter and there are and real snow and people's breath from their mouths in every scene time and again we are reminded how cold it is people wear big hats and layers and layers of clothes and around like over dressed people must have been a horrible shoot my comes in a sequence when our hero into a room of a hotel up in the middle of the night by voices coming from the room next door he a conversation of vital importance to the plot through an large in the wall the two rooms i'm not questioning why there is a convenient in the wall between the two rooms what got me annoyed was the fact that the had not been up by the long term tenant with the visitor if you are trying to keep warm the last thing you need is a huge hole in your wall that leads into an room trust me i live like this i watched this film sat on my living room under a with a hot water bottle my breath was as much as the actors' if that great hole was in my wall i'd block it up with something maybe not the best choice of movie to watch in an room in but boy did it make me notice the lousy in the film,negative

a slight case of murder is an excellent tv movie which is worth the price of a rental william h macy is great as a movie critic who accidentally kills his mistress and then has to try to the crime although that may sound dark the film is actually quite light hearted and funny with many memorable lines acting is harder than i thought you ever see body heat i think i owe bill hurt an and my personal favourite for next week answer these two questions about film noir what do these people do during the day and why is it always the film has a great supporting cast including real life wife james and adam arkin a must see for macy fans,positive
absolute of a movie and given its age years ahead of its time i first saw this the week my dad came home with a tv that the guy had thrown on the heap a with all things dad had it working inside two days this was july 1955 and then probably only the third house in the street to have television pretty much the first thing we ever saw on that grainy and old 12 inch screen was this film it's pretty old dear i recall my mom telling me br br almost 50 years on and it doesn't seem any older rather like world war i in that respect terrific little fantasy about a london carrying thirteen passengers that crashes killing one of their number then in flashback we pick up on the lives of these people and what brought them to being on this bus that very day br br returning to the crash at the end of the film the identity is revealed perhaps the inspiration behind the 1960 movie the list of adrian br br if ever you come across this little gem i suggest you watch it,positive
like a country road tough luck takes the viewer for a ride there is nothing wrong with plot as long as believability doesn't fly out the window unfortunately in the end the film does challenge an audience's belief tolerance nevertheless it is easy to forgive this fault due to the superior acting character development and wonderful carnival atmosphere do not expect to like any of the characters norman and play shady con artists not exactly the type of person easily admired the double crosses come fast and furious and the final cross is a bit of a stretch recommended,positive
i can't get this flick off my brain it's definitely totally different than anything that's out there i've seen a ton of movies over the holidays and while some are okay nothing really my world the way did there is just something way cool about the actors and the way that they put the film together it's like there is really scary stuff mixed with with some pretty f ing hilarious black humour franco is great but the older rough dude steals the show in a few scenes like when he punches the kid out in the dirt grave i guess some politically won't appreciate the vibe don't bring your grandma but it is totally awesome the thing that's best is the style there is some really serious stuff mixed with super interesting footage of the road the movie really makes you sad and scared in parts but it also your head with what is happening and the way it is filmed wtf is up with the world many critics are raving about all these supposedly revolutionary ground breaking films and when you see them they're boring and predictable and not all that i don't get it because there are a lot of other better choices blind spot is really kinda great because it gives you thrills and chills and major upcoming star power but does it in a way that is completely fresh and definitely totally,positive
if you enjoyed films like pulp fiction dogs and lock stock and two smoking you are going to love two hands it has the same type of black humor beat to it and will keep you entertained through the whole film like pulp fiction it has the wacky scenarios that the characters get into and how they deal with them along with and at hanging rock this has to be one of the best australian films i've seen it also stars a young heath ledger before he got real big in the states br br this is a terribly underrated movie that i believe is just as good as pulp fiction and those you have to see it,positive

great movie i was laughing all time through why well i am from i can get along with the german kind of humor so i guess this movie makes only sense watching when you are german native and both are talking in a new kind of turkish german accent which became really popular in our countries but of course they are very stupid as in every comedy your personal humor will decide whether thumb up or down,positive
this production build on real danish crime stories is a experience through excellent directing acting on all levels and has a nerve not often seen in crime series every episode is a thrill because it's seems like the hole team believe that this is my life right now this murder or murders are my responsibility to solve and the is brilliant br br as a viewer you just have this wonderfully filling of being entertained cause it feels like their focus on purpose or not lie on that they wont you to have a good time o don't miss this one it's just right under of quality and is a must have seen experience what a wonderful crime time,positive

walter matthau can always improve a mediocre film and this movie proves it he turns in a very realistic performance as a small time horse and single father not sugar either role br br he can be by turns soft hearted and then iron handed to his boys and we can see the same in his approach to horse training we see that he doesn't want his young racing horse and hurt in small time races but he seems to be willing to risk the life when he gets into the big time br br this is just one of wonderful performances and one that i highly recommend,positive
this film also known as don't look in the basement is actually not bad it is a little known film even to die hard horror fans but i found this movie pretty entertaining don't get me wrong it's certainly not without its problems but do think more people should give it a look the story of a hot nurse going to work in a is certainly an appealing one to me i thought the acting which seemed forced at first somehow got better as the film went along it seems like the actors really got into their roles there are some good colorful characters including a guy who thinks he's still a soldier one who thinks he's a judge an adult with a child's brain and an attractive girl who attention so bad she drops her clothes when any man gets near her the title don't look in the basement has about as much relevance to the story as the last house on the left has on that film if you like movies with creepy characters in a mental ward like i do check this out,positive
i absolutely like this film a lot it is not very entertaining but it's a feast of bizarre and stunning images there's no dialog only some background sounds and noises if you are into something completely different and original and enjoy the obscure and bizarre then you might like this work of art looks like a film made with the very first camera ever made in a time where strange human like beings live and perform their bizarre god has killed himself with a razor and gave birth to mother earth mother earth herself with god's after an act of and gives birth to a son flesh on bone what follows are acts of torture rape and murder for purposes we do not know or do we,positive

at least if you're a disney fanatic well of the variety who loves their live action films as well as the animated stuff if you're a kid if you're a kid at heart almost to the extent that you hardly realize you're an adult if you love absolutely any film that features animals especially when they're doing tricks or if you're just not too demanding air bud world is somewhat enjoyable to watch i'm a disney fanatic i enjoyed this film enough and i'll gladly watch it again br br but boy does it have a lot of problems the main flaw from a combination of too many characters too many plot threads and not enough time to take care of them all in the space of minutes we've got adults getting married teens falling in love and trying not to be awkward at it teen competition for love and jealousy playing spy games dogs falling in love dogs playing soccer dogs having manipulative parents do anything to make their kids win being taught a lesson by their kids and crooks cooking up and elaborate plots i'm probably forgetting something but that's 10 big plot issues to be dealt with with less than 10 minutes per thread to deal with them and presumably them into a coherent whole that's both not too complicated this is a kids' film after all and that's also humorous and heartwarming not surprisingly director bill on his first turn being completely in charge he has a lot of previous second unit experience wasn't quite up to the task i'm sure it didn't help that there were at least three screenwriters involved and probably producers as well br br the end result is that air bud world is extremely choppy events occur with little justification and worse often little explanation people figure out and do things primarily because they need to and fast so that everything can arrive where it needs to arrive in less than 90 minutes from one cut to the next time might jump ahead six months or so we have both adults who seem like maybe they're mentally disabled and kids who just figure out what a dog is thinking and rush into some unexpected action some of the threads should have simply been removed because it's difficult to become too engaged in the film when as soon as you're introduced to an idea it's already passed you by br br also not helping is the fact that one of the threads is basically a rip off of one hundred and one minus a cruella de character and another problem is that given the way the film is edited i have to assume that the dog air bud probably couldn't do much with the soccer ball unlike the first two films a dog playing a sport is almost an here and when we see him it's in very quick glimpses every once in a while these snippets appear to be even aided by computer animation br br yet for someone like me there's a cheesy charm to air bud world the script and performances often between ridiculous hokey and kinda clichéd i tend to like that combination it makes the film both a bit predictable and subtly bizarre and at times like the ending when the film completely and basically becomes a commercial for the u s women's soccer team air bud world is so blatantly tacky that you can't help but love it,negative
despite some really locations in the and some energetic music by franco this film doesn't quite reach the level of joe similar efforts while staying just about as trashy the author of the original book the of a woman directed and had a role in this film which mostly showcases a very young annie belle as she gets in a variety of oddball sexual situations her boyfriend played by al actually of her sleeping around and even her to continue her practices even after the two of them are married maria drops by as a professor who is oh so usually married simultaneously to two women one of whom is played by herself despite beginning and having a few hilarious lines of dialog like can you see me with the naked eye i can see you better naked the film along up until the less than spectacular finale much like and the last cannibals the main characters are all in search of some lost tribe but don't get your hopes up there's no violence at all in this film and not much sex either for that matter just a lot of nudity and silly dialog i couldn't help but find some appreciation for this little film if only for the completely logic the film goes by,positive
great concept perfect characterizations and voices but a complete waste of time a real shame since had it aimed higher it would probably not have been the bomb it was is way too upon humor for starters i'm amazed by comments from educated reviewers referring to the good science behind this piece of trash unlike finding where with a bit of suspension of disbelief attention to detail was and the science was as good as the context would allow jones was utter nonsense don't kid yourself about the science humor aimed at eight year olds but subject matter suitable more for some teens,negative
critics are falling over themselves within the of influence to praise this ugly misguided and adaptation of the lyrical novel on which it's based ham direction of the gory and shrill overly episodic odyssey is one of the many of this civil war love story are they kidding after ms kidman and mr law meet cute with zero screen chemistry in a small north town and steal a kiss before its off to war for jude and his photo of the girl he left behind it's a two hour test to the as to whether he will survive a of near death experiences to reunite with his who cares philip s amateurish scene chewing in a disgusting and unfunny role to appearance as a corn fed who bursts miraculously upon the scene of lonely farm to save the day rarely has a performance screamed of look at me i'm acting her sheer nerve wakes up the for a couple of minutes until the wears painfully thin released by for oscar and golden globe what a farce consideration the apparently own along with dick clark the critical community and won 8 globe nominations for their overblown failure the crime is that awards have become meaningless and small less powerful driven films become obscure cold mountain is a concept film and an empty bitter waste of time cold indeed,negative
i finally found a version of that i like anne doesn't look like a maid in this version just a very thin aging pretty woman quite like she's described in the book captain doesn't look like he's 50 nor does he look angry but rather as he's described in the book he hasn't aged as much as anne and is quite handsome and they play their parts with such conviction and realism that's what acting is all about they were believable they created real characters and it was like the characters in the book came to life if you haven't seen this version i urge you to find it order it or request it from either a or a library if you must it's worth the price and worth the wait br br i watched the 1995 version and the 2007 version and this one towers over the other two why it isn't rated higher is beyond my the book conveys the of their relationship and this movie makes the book come to life,positive
the core issues at play god satan good evil can be should be tremendously compelling as demonstrated through thousands of works of art music literature film end of days unfortunately is nothing but a cartoon acting ability stands so obviously in sharp contrast to lack of ability and is further by a plot filled with nothing but stereotypes br br the single compelling scene occurs at the very beginning with the transformation of the gabriel character and his subsequent interaction with his wife girlfriend it is both charged the themes the seductive power of evil,negative
this is a very realistic movie it's the most realistic i've seen on urban youth the actors were great i will look out for more films by i had never heard of the film until someone mentioned it recently i bought it on dvd i was impressed i haven't seen anything come close to life as i know it in philadelphia this comes real close in fact one scene where there is an accident i won't spoil and give details reminded me of a nearly identical situation in philadelphia at first i thought took the scene from that real life event but then i realized that he made the film a few years before that situation i also agree with the point that this film didn't try to its appeal by putting in hollywood crap also directed laws of gravity i am eager to see it,positive
wow i don't even know where to begin commenting on this thing they called a movie i seriously don't know what the hell david began smoking after making hard justice which in my opinion was quite a good movie after the american ninja features i hadn't seen any of this guy's latter movies after cyborg cop lucky i saw them on amazon for like 5 pounds each and i can safely say the following if i had thrown down the drain the 5 pounds i spent on total reality crisis and expect to die i would have ended up happier than having to sit through the 90 minutes that each of them lasted my god how the heck can anybody label these as movies and why do action martial arts actors fall deep into the horse dung when they've like reached their peak i mean david no oscar but his first movies were pretty entertaining tough cool guy with pretty good martial expertise who delivered corny lines but at least entertained action and martial arts fans to a certain extent but i seriously would love to know what went through this guy's head after making hard justice his final 3 movies have to frankly be the worst i have ever had to sit through as i mentioned before i'd love to get my money back on the 3 dvds i bought crisis was the epitome of total reality was harsh but this expect to die is just utter nonsense i bet the director was either mega stoned when he made this or he was just taking the pee out of every david fan who would sit through this heap of crap the plot circles around a doctor who develops some type of virtual reality game in which he's just killing different people off one by one sorry but i just couldn't take this guy seriously playing a baddie with that posh hair do glasses and gray and doing absolutely no physical fighting whatsoever frankly his best asset the film is even worse than any of those saturday afternoon b movies because the acting is laughable the directing is horrendous and the few fights in the movie well what can i say the actors look like they're training with their gym buddy we get a dumb muscular cop who starts to show off his fighting stuff like one hour into the movie and fails heavily a french hairy version of van damme who just can't fight act or speak to save his freaking life and the supposed protagonist playing the evil doctor who i was really happy for when he stopped making this type of rubbish i even he didn't throw a kick in this movie probably due to his heart condition already playing up on him for a b actor i must admit i really liked this guy his style fighting skills but i'm really really glad he stopped acting after this monstrosity because i honestly wouldn't have been able to sit through another ninety minutes of pee taking material like this one avoid at all costs even if you're family of david you'll be glad you did word,negative
i saw this movie years about 8 years ago when it first came out and the only memories that i have about it are 1 that it was awful 2 that in one scene applies to her arms and legs repeatedly for about 15 minutes straight it seemed that long anyways 3 one scene where a character gets a into his head in this scene when the hammer the head like glass it's quite bad,negative
this is a voice of a person who just finished watching the second season of rome almost at one go and grabbed the opportunity to see what happened next this film conveniently takes off where rome ends if you find rome an abomination a foul mouthed screw fest of little historical accuracy then you might enjoy but if you feel rome is a good thing if you enjoy the complicated intrigue the ambiance of and the work of the actors then will obviously appear to you as an overly superfluous and tedious soap opera with not many redeeming factors br br there are some actors who for my taste look somewhat better than these in rome i especially disliked image of as a drug sex addict there must have been a great deal of strength and dignity in that woman and the actress in suits the part much better o'toole and are good and so are some others but then if you have come to know and love as the super cool bitch you'll find the depiction of her in as a tear mother in an absolutely ridiculous there are supposed to be some bitchy characters in but these actresses rely heavily upon staring at the men and nothing much more you'll find no interesting female characters in this epic there's also the painfully comic whom we see as a drag queen even though there is little historical evidence that he was such he's once referred to as being in his pleasures in the br br the interiors are rather and rely on clichés upon clichés big hall looks like something out of a computer game or a children's play room in an egyptian theme park there's a of really poor 3d graphics not up to 2003 standards br br the action is presented as a series of flashbacks the aged is so we get a quick look at some historical events some of which are presented well whereas some are not an amount of time is wasted to show as the eternal flame of this affair doesn't for even a moment the dialog is and everything is seasoned with tacky tear inducing musical score whatever amount of reality the show aims to capture every last shred of it is destroyed by the dry dubbing most of the actors are non english br br everything is in this epic true there are more historical than in rome but dramatically speaking it's plain boring the characters lack depth and the dialog camera work is often reduced to static shots and lighting offers nothing to please your eye br br there's really no one to love and no one to hate in regardless of whether you liked or disliked rome there are much better films and miniseries around ancient rome the rise and fall of an empire would be one thing i recommend,negative
normally i wouldn't go to the trouble of commenting on a horror movie sequel because it's usually assumed that they're bad and if you watch them with a healthy they can be very fun and enjoyable to laugh at however this chapter of the ongoing halloween saga came close to up everything the original stood for in the very first movie dr said very i might add that michael myers was evil and this tries to explain why doing a bad job of it i might add in my opinion he was much scarier when he was just a blood hungry freak the whole cult thing was unnecessary and a desperate attempt to throw a new into the halloween the result was a boring predictable movie that was not scary and not bad enough to be funny,negative
this rubber monsters failed trying to be cool scary or even comedians looks like a wannabe movie of or animals house but the sequences and history is not always clear also can't catch your attention all the movie looks cheap and with an amazing bad taste the only thing that's makes you laugh is the awful rubber monsters who must have a cost of one dollar each because the work or them never looks realistic the movements and expressions make looks the muppets as a pixar 3d movie when you compare with this hope marie is the only thing that makes this awful movie and when she dies in the movie this turns even worst than before a movie who only must be seen in fast forward,negative
if extreme activities and i don't mean the hollywood ones like x games and the people who pursue them interest you then seek this doc out br br this is one of those truth is stranger than fiction tales of donald obsession to prove himself against great odds those odds were by mother nature the media and his own mind it is also about a time lost to us although it was only 40 years ago br br the filmmakers have done a great job in gathering a wide range of material to tell his story and the story of the great race that consumed him br br i couldn't help but to think about timothy and the apollo in the 2 great man and in the shadow of the moon while experiencing you don't simply watch this story br br if you live in a big city buy it or rent it it is worth the effort to find i had to travel 100 miles to l a to buy it and i am glad i did,positive
patricia arquette plays american doctor laura who takes a holiday to in an attempt to her spirit after the murders of her husband and young son she is left behind in during a military and leaves the city with an aging man who works as a tour guide but he is no simple tour guide he is a professor who introduces her to the life outside of the tourist traps the two of them get caught up in the political and laura sees with her own eyes how the government betrays and its own people br br this movie is one of my favorites because of its themes first it's describing some of the that are occurring in secondly it's about a woman's struggle to find meaning in life after an incredible loss it's about compassion and sacrifice and people coming together without even knowing each other to endure pain and fear br br just about every beautiful scene in this movie is important nothing is wasted here it's an earnest and moving film there is also a very emotional score composed by hans which scenes nicely br br a definite recommend especially to people concerned with human rights and people who want to know what purpose can i serve br br,positive
a few years ago i saw the of green by the same director my feelings about both films are in fact the same beautifully shot but terribly slow and boring i saw this film in a sneak preview and left after half an hour couldn't stand it anymore how can one make an interesting film about people who are constantly telling each other how happy they are and how perfect their lives are i had a fantasy about a forgotten american g i still wandering around in the jungle who was not aware the war had ended how he would suddenly pop up in the film and would start his at the characters in the movie the red of their blood would make a beautiful contrast with all the green plants in the film so i was not very much by this film time to leave,negative
this movie was extremely well when it was released in during the middle of master fame and success anything and everything with his name on it was selling off the shelves that's why it's no wonder this underground urban drama sold over 250 000 copies and still br br if you are a fan of no limit back then or even now check it out it has a few old school videos and don't get me started with the freaky at the bonus ice cream party so what i got to say to all the people who don't like master p or no limit records don't watch it because it isn't for you and don't bother voting on it because you're only going to no limit fans from renting or this video with your low votes,positive
spoilers br br this movie is not action packed it's slow and boring it's not funny or exciting it's predictable and plays on cheap sentimentality and vague the special effects are not imaginative or impressive they are and uninspired br br the acting talent is wasted on hopelessly stupid one liners and clichés these are by characters they ought to just be called gentle giant black man ' eccentric genius who is about to crack ' square hero coming of age ' by the book coward ' who lives by a code of honor ' and so on br br and the writing how many did they think they could fit in this thing does a scene where people have to a bomb by cutting one or another wire even count as fiction anymore the drama of the last 15 minutes of the movie depends on the audience caring if some jerk can put aside his personal differences with ben affleck and say bye bye to tyler in time to save the earth all the work is done we just have to wait a couple more seconds for harry the jerk to toss off a few candy lines i know bruce willis is a generally charismatic guy but his harry character is an obnoxious bore i thought he earned the golden he was awarded for this role br br since the movie is so long the plot so obvious and the dialogue so one can't help but notice the lame inaccuracies inconsistencies and plot holes feet into something the size of is less than a try walking feet into and see how close to the center you are after all the discussion about the artificial gravity on the russian station it appears to be once inside actually gravity comes and goes throughout the movie does it make any sense that anyone besides michael bay would give these morons a couple and send them to blow up an threatening the earth br br the sentimental phone insurance commercial style montages were revolting br br i do like action movies really this one is boring stupid and really stuck on itself it deserves hatred and because it's everything hollywood's most expensive efforts have become a bunch of cheap cliches running from one expensive explosion to another oh yes the whole thing is by a conservative on sex politics and so on,negative
reading the other user comments the review by has most of what i was feeling throughout this film predictable storyline cliché versions of lesbians i e straight woman becomes a lesbian while that her husband is abusive and aggressive br br also the score was severely disappointing it was bland soft sentimental elevator music another common cliché in movies about lesbians the movie would have had a few interesting dramatic moments if they had not been destroyed by the music br br a few scenes concerning sex and also struck me as attempts to and raise shock value including parts of the final performance scene the conventional hot and steamy moments were as boring as the overly sentimental score for example during the pool scene the women are kissing and then the camera pans along the abandoned wine glass the flowing water the sound of their heavy breathing over the soft crashing of waves br br the only elements i liked were the and they are well choreographed and the development of attraction between the two characters felt very natural during the training scenes i genuinely during those and during the last scene with the police officer but they were not enough to balance out the or make me enjoy this film,negative
this movie was awful plain and simple it will probably be by those who only see films and not movies and will therefore feel sorry for me for having such a limited understanding of the theatrical brilliance of this film but i am secure enough in my intellect to say that this boring self and painfully drawn out movie was a waste of two hours and nine dollars br br i was into seeing this by the inexplicable good reviews it had been receiving and came out of the theater thinking that those reviews had to have been written by over excited film students and the aforementioned group of individuals who regular movies perhaps for fear that they may actually enjoy one someday br br the storyline is quite a promising one a man is imprisoned for 15 years never knowing his nor his crime he is then abruptly released and given just five days to discover the identity and reason of the man who imprisoned him however the great concept soon into a pathetic joke as oh runs around beating people up trying to have sex with a young girl who is attempting to use the toilet and eating a live presumably for dramatic effect as there is absolutely no other reason for it all the while he is trying to figure out this horrible thing he did to earn himself fifteen years in jail and when he finally finds out it is both ridiculous and a major letdown his nemesis a man who supposedly went to school with him when he was a young man looks like a banana republic model twenty years younger than him hey i know prison has been hard on oh but is it too much to ask to find an actor that looks a bit closer to his age of all the things wrong with this movie this one seems like the one to fix br br and the big secret the one that kept me in my seat for 90 minutes when i could have been out doing something is some joke of a plot line involving incest and a started in high school come on throw us a bone here was that really the best they could do i sat through stupid dialogue over acting gloomy sets and gratuitous violence for this by the way i'm not at all against violence in a film if it seems to fit the story but in this case it seems i was forced to watch our hero knock out someone's front teeth and cut off his own tongue with a pair of in order to distract me from out i was wasting my afternoon watching a pretentious piece of garbage br br take my advice do something else with your time and money or take your nine dollars and go see a movie one that you might actually enjoy,negative
i saw this at my local supermarket and i knew that debra was in it so i decided to buy it out of support for that sexy woman the plot and acting in this movie was terrible with the exception of debra wilson and i'm not just saying that because i love her she seriously was the only actor or actress who had any emotion in their acting and voice what i didn't get at the beginning is why the wife didn't just get back in her car instead of running at random like that it was so stupid and it's la nobody saw her being on a public street nobody yeah that's realistic also in the park when charlie stole the woman's cell phone for some stupid reason they were hell bent on finding him and at one point when they did they had him at over a cell phone in reality i doubt the would go out of their way like that for a stupid cell phone the lady could've walked up to one of many of those cell phone and have it replaced the kids acting skills sucked too i think they were reading from a cue card or had somebody off camera their lines because they'd be asked questions and would look around and then answer in a questionable voice i e yes i do miss daddy also how could there be all of those be in the trees and on building in la without being seen i see this being played at 3 am on usa br br debra wilson fanatics will enjoy her parts she's the only actor with any real acting skills debra sweetheart stop doing these cheap d grade direct to video films maybe that'll change with the upcoming film she puts some jokes in there like when one of her superiors comes up and asks her who's she talking to she screams at her computer and goes charlie i gave it a 4 10 a 4 only because of good acting skills,negative
do not watch this movie or if you are really mad at anyone you can give this as a this is the worst movies i have ever seen do not watch this if you do remember that would be a self destructive action it is a shame that this is not voted lower,negative
chan park you have to hand it to the guy in my eyes he's not only a brilliant director but a brilliant director who can turn his hand to any genre and often provides something refreshing yet still ultimately satisfying br br is essentially a vampire tale but one that plays fast and loose with some of the rules of the ho song plays father sang a man who gives himself over to a research program and then kind of catches the disease they are trying to cure dies and comes back all thanks to the blood he was with being the only one out of five hundred to survive he becomes quite the celebrity to those who know him and all he wants is to get back to normal normal however now involves being able to leap great without injury wanting to drink blood and getting severely hot under the collar when of sun get on his skin it's not long before he's living with a rather dysfunctional family unit who knew him in his childhood and while he hides his new strange lifestyle he finds himself drawn into a complex love triangle becoming more acceptable of darker thoughts and down a that could lead him from man to beast to monster br br a number of genres movie felt much and more original to me than let the right one in to use a recent example and genuinely impressed me with it's approach to material that could easily have felt as well worn and as any number of other vampire movies we've seen over the years it's a mixture of horror melodrama and comedy while also ideas such as strength of faith the power over life and death the downside of etc etc br br some people have complained that this genre approach the movie but i personally found that it was a lively entertaining and always enjoyable movie helped by a great central performance from song as the tortured priest and fantastic turns from a supporting cast with no weak many characters get to move through a range of emotions and all do so with skill and believability especially the young woman played by ok kim who becomes the object of the love lust and affection br br fans of asian cinema and park in particular and also fans of the tell tale heart watch and learn should lap this up it's yet another classy movie from a man who seems to take everything in his and always manages to put out nothing less than solid entertainment br br see this if you like near dark aka cemetery man,positive
i understood before watching this film that it would be a low budget gore film but even by those low standards this film doesn't cut it br br the problem isn't so much that the filmmakers had a low budget or had bad acting writing directing sound music and editing i expected all of that to be bad and it is br br the biggest problem with this film is that it didn't even do a good job on the guts and gore most of the takes place off screen and all we get to see are the after effects which look very fake even by the standards of low budget gore films br br there really is no excuse for the gore being so poorly done peter jackson made the equally low budget at about the same time and he somehow was able to make much more convincing guts and gore than was shown in this film br br a failure on just about every level i can't recommend this film to anybody steer clear of it br br br br,negative
the film is partly a thriller and partly a public service when seeing the events through the perspectives of politicians terrorists and of course victims in this smart drama lessons are given about and surviving chaos while meantime the look at the way crisis is managed viewers to and to be scared by the film originally aired on bbc gets to effectively doubts on official performances are proper understated though never terrific the flick is just a beginning a provocative start leading to a larger discussion but it gets to work in my opinion giving the right thrills and causing the audience to reason and to ask itself questions,positive
i watched a made for television film about the destruction at texas it was obviously heavily toward the claim that david was a murderous child cult leader hell bent on killing as many cops as he wanted and taking his people to the heavens on a blood br br the film was little more than propaganda further what we had already read in the i am more and more sure of that since i watched the great documentary the rules of not that every made in this film should be taken as god's truth but it tells the whole story rather than only what law decided to tell br br for those who have forgot was the spiritual leader of the religious movement named the branch charges of drug use kidnapping illegal weapon and rape among others i'm sure raised the of the local police then later federal law while attempting to serve a search warrant the of alcohol and and the clan in a shoot out that left deceased and wounded on both sides br br it was then that the federal of investigation fbi got involved between the two were spirited but eventually broke down the fbi prepared for an invasion by the building with flash bang and gas when the building burnt to the ground killing many within including the fbi refused to admit responsibility saying the cult inside must have set it on fire themselves this images of jim jones and other violent religious br br the picture puts on many masks to tell its story it begins with a of the perhaps the truth as far as the record is concerned anyway what is eye opening is how the politicians remained even in a difficult and serious situation as this the were concerned in nothing more than defending every single action taken by law it was the that seemed open to the other side br br it is impossible to relate all of the new information and analysis provided by this documentary additionally a list would take away from the film opening up as it goes along one example would be the heart breaking fact that children died within the compound the filmmakers probably side more with the in general but stay relatively open to either side in this instance the seem at fault for a situation that involves innocent children but on the other hand the parents also need to shoulder some of the blame for leaving their kids in this situation when they could have released them to any number of local authorities br br probably the most new information comes late in the film and involves the claim they did not fire upon the building this is left up to interpretation and i will not reveal any more than to say it is disturbing and shocking what can and cannot be told br br the federal officers are not held in a critical or corrupt light any more than the largest seems to be on the media unwilling to tell both sides of a story this element seems prevalent in recent documentaries so i believe it is time for the media to return to telling news stories and leave this relentless pursuit of what will draw the biggest audience and ratings br br it is hard to mess up a documentary in most cases switching on a camera and editing together interesting pieces of life is common and tells a terrific story what few can do is shed such new light on a subject that the way you think about it is forever altered is that kind of film 5 out of,positive
i had never heard of before then i saw it on disney and instantly loved it i also think that it is not just for kids and that people of all ages would enjoy it it has a great plot great effect and cool characters i will always love the show and i heard it will be coming on on dvd worldwide soon and i'm going to get it i haven't read any of the books but i intend to the show deserves a 10 out of 10 and i hope the books are just as good well that's all i have to say but i still have 2 lines i have to fill up so who do you all think is the coolest character mine is and my second favorite is,positive
no holds is a movie that should in no way ever be taken seriously it sucks hardcore as a serious movie look at it more in the way that you should plan 9 from outer space they are one in the same in that they are both so bad they are funny the funny moments in no holds are usually the ones that aren't supposed to be when rip played by hulk hogan as only he can play them grabs the driver out of the front after his first meeting with kurt fuller hilarity ensues and it is one part of the movie that every person should see it might be the funniest scene ever i swear br br anyway how someone thought this movie would make money i'll never know and that person should probably be beaten into i hope they at least got fired this movie earns a 1 out of 5 on my scale and that one is just for the unintentionally funny parts,negative
matthew this is a name worthy of this is the individual that took fingers to keyboard and came up with one of the worst scripts of all time cliché predictable an insult to the intelligence br br is he the sole of blame of course not took this abysmal excuse for a script and made it into a movie sam jackson and ed harris actually read it or not and chose to star in it br br this is the denise richards of film scripts there aren't enough in the universe to give proper recognition to how truly horrible this writing really is br br in all fairness samuel jackson's profession is incredibly novel and the manner in which it's presented is highly creative but at the end of the day it's all just pretty br br package it any way you want garbage writing is still garbage writing,negative
considering it's basically low budget cast this is a surprisingly good flick about the life and death of rock buddy holly gary busey stars as holly who was one of the first to use an electric guitar for pretty much all his music backed up by his holly had a string of hits and became a star before his death in a plane crash along with and the big the film follows his rise to stardom marriage to his sweetheart and eventual death i like this film and believe that you will too charles martin smith also does a great job in this film,positive
chris penn is hilarious as the all time brother of jeff this movie is great because it was a lot more real and funnier than fast times at high casting was perfect and one of my favorite of almost all eddie van which went on to become songs on and knowledge this movie is one of the great film heroes with cheech and chong fast times was more depressing than funny friends cheating on friends off in bad jobs and failing school someone must hate the eighties to like more than the wild life the film even had great cameos like the maker of city limits michelle in the store or ben in his first role in the store,positive
when i watch a short like boy next door i find myself with a kind of bittersweet feeling on the one hand i'm happy i'm watching something that has been well thought out executed and just daring enough to be interesting on the other hand i find myself the level of comedy generally produced tv and films are so consistently packed with easy condescending crap that we find ourselves judging excellence within a scale of mediocrity then you see someone like davis who without the benefit of studio notes or substantial budget can create a really cool little comic gem producers and network suits need to turn to the travis out there for material and stop deals to people simply because their resume or agent may demand they should boy next door has hopefully gained the attention of the right people to more work from davis it's really fun and very well done,positive
an exquisite film they just don't make them like this any more we on an upper middle class family in in the early part of the 20th century they are an after christmas dinner for their friends and relatives their table talk is just but it is so well written that one is away from the dinner table some fine piano playing helps to create an intimate atmosphere as if one were there as one of the guests perhaps a bit too perfect for an amateur player the odd mistake here and there would have added to the magic of this film no real story but real entertainment and an object lesson for up and coming film makers,positive
the main achievement of this film is that though the film still manages to out a of war portrayals that leave a lasting with whoever may view it and whoever was present at this time though good films may have the ability of their subjects which is often a hard thing to do great films have the ability of their subjects which is what this film does br br instead of a context of the film depicts the japanese in the sick of the war front in 1945 making signs for or war but rather making signs of the feelings death destruction victory and sickness of war with the bloody hands of the defeated far different and superior to films such as apocalypse now and full metal jacket both which needed a satirical of and the american and using all races as one struggle which is fine yet not as grand as a film that uses one race and view which would look fascist if created in america to convey the horror of war and show what it is really like br br the only way the main character makes it through this movie to the end is by being sick hence through this character through his sickness his saving face we see the end of wwii in the in of 1945 and the way in which the americans japanese and came together in bloody acts of where you live to die br br the film is influenced by a way of portrayal which is original and to a viewer whether then or now for the techniques it employs conveys all the horrors of war in form whether a showcase for or like zero by a story emerges from the environment and the conditions associated with it br br the film's opening with the two way discussion between the two japanese soldiers and the events through this opening we feel that the struggle is human against human and human with human it shows that they relied on each other to face the enemy in the past battles but now in this opening or of the experiences of the japanese in the new information is to the main character giving a of a cannibal on one another if they wish to survive br br the jungle is gritty wet and thick and the sky is not and we with the though and as sick as the land around them are everywhere every now and then one can not tell if they are bodies rocks or corn apparently there is no difference here all is dead and sick all is dying all they have to feed upon are rare monkeys and dead bodies of fallen and or enemies br br often meets a fallen other near death though crushed in spirit and his some offer up their bodies for him to eat but he refuses he still like as in giants and toys will not into the death of dignity and japanese morals for this is all he really has to hold up for his survival a dignity of self hence when is a soldier for he shoots him because of it may be used to the killing but to the sickness of killing and he can't he is neither a good man or a bad man he wishes to survive but will not go the extra mile beyond simple straight war killing his self dead on the battlefield he isn't happy here to and wipe the weak for his survival br br the sickness he he sees everywhere in everyone and sadly he lacks the of thinking either thinking entirely about others since he can't give up his body for them since of his or thinking entirely about himself since he sees the sickness in everyone though still killing them even if they do no harm seen in his attack on the two in the he can't see anyone no one can see anyone the only see an from and an to health the heart of survival instincts br br often an arm appears pointing to the left of the screen towards what must be hope for there in that far lies their freedom yet it is by american soldiers leaving the japanese to slowly die in this dirt even a church tower appears the light off an unseen sun but on closer wildly about it religion too is an air of poison br br the japanese title of the film gives more evidence to the themes or feelings of the film the to fate the of existence under leaders and lives controlled by others its proper translation has a subject of heavy debate among historians as non translate it as slave and slavery while many argue that was not a slave system but a servant class system that does not meet the for slavery a way to typically to escape wrenching poverty this upon the war theme and symbolism of br br isn't it important at the time period to ask ourselves what the purpose is of what will become our won history should we be comfortable of letting it without conscious effort for change is it not who we are fighting that age old history question but rather why are we fighting fires on the plain is with and mickey curtis based on a novel by in japanese with subtitles,positive

this movie is about a depressed and emotionally man has a distant relative move in with him in his apartment in as time passes their relationship becomes more and more strained until finally he begins yelling at his house guest who is out of work and doesn't appear all that eager to find work that's most of the movie in fact the problem is that although emotionally and depressed people are very and non they don't make for a very satisfying movie that's because most of the time he and his just stare into space and say nothing i think all these flat moments could have been to make a 30 minute movie i certainly wouldn't have minded,negative
of an army unit hook up with a group of to fight their way through indians on the sounds like it could be an exciting western but this one is dull dull dull it moves like the action scenes are uninspired the acting is pedestrian the writing is flat even the photography isn't very good eastwood in a very early role plays an ex who doesn't like the idea of fighting on the same side as that's about the only remotely interesting situation in the whole movie but eastwood wasn't experienced enough an actor to pull it off and his character comes across as rather than angry or a very ordinary western actually a very less than ordinary western worth a look if you're a die hard eastwood fan and want to see him at the very beginning of his career otherwise don't bother,negative
i will be honest and say i gave up on watching it somewhere mid way and then fast forward with a few breaks then i came back here and read many of the reviews already made br br maybe is just me and i can not help it but this cartoon to north american society seems to have a purpose of lets save them from themselves and iraq comes to mind right away it seems to me that this is a justification or part of for another invasion with good intentions br br the lady to me seems a self person and i frankly got annoyed at her portrait of trying to raise pity and feel for her well in this case this could never happen because just like a history teacher has already mentioned here i need to know how come her family was so wealthy above average manage to keep that were they playing both sides maybe and send her to paris now if this would have been made after a poor girl's biography i could see myself having certain emotions but as it stands its release timing this is just pure propaganda movie even worse since its cartoon it the soft side of too well for its own good in order to possibly be taken serious br br besides there are those clichés regarding gays well a woman that fights toward winning her rights should not have at least some compassion for the of society just like her the message is obviously self indulgent from the view of a class member br br i only give it 2 stars because its production and related stuff a propaganda movie obviously has interests in convincing my thoughts and therefore generally is well done appealing to certain visual emotions that i can not deny i might have as well,negative
although this starts out a woman in a car is around dark roads in the middle of the night in the middle of the forest until she almost hits a man holding a lizard this gave me the impression that we were going to see something special something almost david if there is such a term but unfortunately the film starts to go not having a core center just sort of meandering story about a woman trying to solve a mystery of a small town the character study goes all over the place and i couldn't really care for any of the characters it seems especially when some of the story all of a sudden goes into flashback mode i had some hopes for this movie but all in all it was a bit of a letdown,negative
this self important confusing b w film watches like an on a very bad acid trip you're dealing with something that reminds you of a piece of rotting that accidentally fell out of the back of a garbage truck no one cares to touch it because it will probably be washed away on its own down the storm drain there's no room for plot when you've got visceral imagery and subtle allegory to me it seems like the director tries to make the next great art movie while begging for intellectual i didn't bring my either watching this i felt almost insulted since the film does such an effective job of itself from you,negative
is without doubt the best tarzan movie i have ever seen christopher portrays a very believable man trying to return to the world of mankind alongside the fantastic ian the struggle of john to leave the jungle and the apes who raised him is quite stirring some very memorable scenes including where makes the jungle noises to the romantic interest and the scene where he witnesses his ape father's death feelings for both worlds is well developed and really makes you feel for him br br an excellent and underrated movie,positive
a group of tourists are stranded on snake island after an unfortunate accident with their boat they are forced to spend the night and as you probably suspected it isn't called snake island because it's just much fun to say it has a history of people disappearing one by one because of the large snake population which is just what happens with these poor dumb souls this is a very boring and typical movie with tons of off screen snake attacks and lousy performances from nobody actors the only somewhat entertaining scene was an absolutely unnecessary and forced strip scene which ain't anything couldn't see in a rated movie folks if you are into snake movies than check out but don't torture yourself with this crap,negative
this movie may be the best ever if you like watching movies and laughing and then your friends to watch those movies too if you're anything like me and you probably are you'll be laughing for years to come at the jokes in this movie one of the funniest parts is when gus sharks some money off a guy with kids and then the guy takes those kids into the forest like and then he and his wife go home with them the soup scene kitchen is with comic genius of officer here and the lines to follow will stay in my mind forever probably when i have shown this movie to my friends they usually say what was that so if you're in the mood for one of those types of movies this movie is so it's not funny anymore so probably the way to get it would be online the first time i saw it was from a rental,positive
instead of writing a paragraph i'll give four good reasons why 2001 is the greatest cinema experience of all time 1 it is a visual odyssey that could only be told on the big screen the special effects that won kubrick his only oscar are the most stunning effects before that age of jurassic park and they allow kubrick to give an accurate or at least are the most accurate depiction of space travel to date the silence that fills the space scenes not only serves its purpose as accurate science but also adds to the mood of the film to be discussed in a later point with hal the fact that kubrick shot the moon scenes before the apollo landing is a yet fulfilling move many have said that upon its original release it was a favorite trip movie i can think of no other movie that has such amazing visuals for its time and even of all time sorry phantom menace fans 2 kubrick's directing style is terrific as in all his films kubrick likes to use his camera as means to delve into the psychology of his characters and plots his camera is not as mobile as other such as scorsese but instead sits and watches the narrative unfold faces are the key element of a kubrick film like classic movies such as m and touch of evil kubrick focuses on the characters' faces to give the audience a psychological view point even he uses extreme close ups of glowing red eye to show the and determination of the villain i could go on but in kubrick is at the of his style 3 hal is one of the most villainous characters in film history i whole agree with the late gene opinion of hal most of this film takes place in space through the use of silence and the darkness of space itself a mood of isolation is created dave and his are isolated between earth and with nowhere to escape combine this mood with the cold actions of hal and you have the most villain imaginable i still although having see this film several times feel my chest in a particular scene 4 the controversial ending of 2001 always turns people away from this film instead of trying to give my opinion of the what it means and what my idea of meaning in general is i'd like to discuss the fact that the ending serves to leave the movie open ended kubrick has stated that he to make 2001 open for discussion he left its meaning in the hands of the viewer by the audience's intelligence kubrick allowed his movie to be the beginning not the end of a meaningful discussion on man's past present and future the beauty of 2001 is that the ending need not mean anything deep it can just be a purely plot driven explanation and the entire movie can be viewed as an entertaining journey through space no other movie save the great citizen kane leaves itself open to discussion like 2001 it is truly meant to be a surreal journey that involves not only the eye but the mind instead of waiting in long lines for the phantom menace rent a widescreen edition of 2001 and enjoy the greatest cinematic experience,positive
someone said that is a lot like an episode of and i have to agree spoilers i never liked the actors on and rarely have seen it except when nothing better was on is the kind of movie to see if you have no other choices read a book has those kind of tv has been actors that look like they are there as part of their or work release program some low budget tv movies have actors that at least look enthusiastic the actors in look like they were getting paid minimum and were working on a time clock they have that desperate the paycheck better not look the queen spider looks great except it is rarely seen and there are no other and no the queen spider bites people and they become spider zombies which means that they try to keep their eyes wide open when they are attacking the humans the humans are all fighting among themselves over a number of different reasons and they are not sympathetic after meeting all the humans i would have recommended charm school for the characters all that made me feel was i was to the characters and hoped for some interesting gore and special effects the gore was minimal and the special effects were reserved for the ugly spider queen who looked good if had a bunch of spider creatures eating humans it would have been more entertaining apparently they could only budget spider zombies is a sad entry into the field of spider oriented movies it may qualify as the worst spider movie ever because eight freaks had great special effects,negative
is a moving and mostly honest look at the lives and deaths of soviet soldiers who were sentenced to wash away their crimes with blood during world war two one can almost call it the russian equivalent of highly acclaimed band of brothers miniseries br br formed in july of 1942 on the eve of battle of the were considered and suffered horrible sometimes as high as 90 prisoners of political prison concentration camps soldiers who were captured by germans but managed to escape soldiers accused of were all given a chance to join the and prove that there were not of the with their lives those who and those who died in battle were considered and were in the eyes of the law br br this miniseries features a look at one such under the command of an honorable officer who was captured by the germans was shot and left for dead it features a colorful and varied group of people thrust into a situation from which there is no escape the yet honorable crime boss the fist and his little gang of criminals a young jewish intellectual who struck his anti officer father priest who joins the when his is destroyed in the house to house fighting political prisoners who hate the regime that condemned them to the but who are nonetheless willing to fight one last time for their people and country must all find their courage and their reasons to keep on living and to keep on fighting br br although set during a war not every episode features combat in fact what combat scenes there are are often chaotic and short which was probably the intent of the director in between the miniseries focuses on various relationships between the cast their backgrounds their thoughts and the rape of a young woman by one of soldier and then his execution execution for supposed periods of boredom on the march the celebration and subsequent consequences of finding a german with food and the moral dilemma of officers unable to save their men from their own superiors cheating on a and other situations feature the camera is it does not turn away from the of war and the of human nature nor from raw human emotions the dialog likewise does not out the swearing br br the acting is superb and deep and the script is likewise well written everything from rage to to to finding a of joy to hang on to is rendered almost one complaint might be that some of russian and cultural may not always be understood by someone not familiar with the language and culture because it is a history drama in a sense some of the terms and situations military rank mention of other battles certain historical references may be lost on some viewers this understanding is not needed to thoroughly enjoy but these references are a nice touch of authenticity another complain that could be is an occasional and of history to suit the plot but frankly this is such a riveting miniseries that one will likely forgive these slight,positive

this documentary is with problems br br how arrogant is it to make a documentary about your own family i understand you think the subject is interesting i was bored with it this isn't a fascinating story to me and i don't know why you would think it was br br i don't want to come off as mean but i have to say most of the people in this film are just not attractive and that's ok not everyone is pretty but your camera technique to stick the lens in their face so you can't help but be overwhelmed by their unpleasant appearance because it is filling your tv is not enjoyable i had to put my hand up half the time to shield myself from the under eyes and yellow teeth really i'm trying not to sound but pull the camera back so its not like total strangers are breathing in my face br br the camera work in this film is rank amateur level it's the kind of camera work you see from everyone with a camcorder at a family uninteresting framing even static shots are done put a little effort into it if you're going to do this for a living br br i honestly can't see what the big deal is about this thing,negative
1st watched 2 9 2008 4 out of 10 j s sexual political thriller that doesn't really succeed in any of these areas very well except early on where there are some interesting soft core scenes the movie starts off portraying a couple exploring their sexual fantasies amidst their work or wherever and whatever suits their fancy the couple takes an to a and where they run into a woman that's willing to be a part of a three some and fulfill some of their fantasies at this point we only know that this couple is well off but we don't know until they return that the fiancé is part of a well to do political family the man hopes to be on the rise to the point of possibly getting a seat after the marriage they then receive a package in the mail from an anonymous source with explicit pictures of their encounter at the bath house and their begins as to how and why they were filmed who sent the package what they want and how to clear their names before any of this gets out this becomes an obsession that leads them deeper into worlds and takes a lot of their time to the point where their friends family wonder what they're doing all day and why they look all the time this movie is interesting at times but into as they personally seek out the problem instead of getting the police involved early on because of their pride this mistake of course keeps the movie going the performances are fine despite the no name cast but the of the situation and the movie starts to become ho hum about the way through and of course they throw in a twist at the end that defies and challenges everything that happened prior as is the norm these days when they don't know what else to do to spice up the movie this doesn't help this movie one bit though,negative

i am a fan of good historical fiction and was thrilled at the thought that someone would take a well written book series and film it writing scripts is not like writing regular fiction but when you have a book you are adapting it would be nice to actually follow the plot line br br the portrayals of the the actual emperor and his 2 sons and was horrid they acted like a cookie cutter and were the in this adaptation there was a scene with justice as if he was from the movie of the same name the way the are portrayed in the books mostly follow the reports of historians writing in that time period they were fair and sane not by the insanity br br helena the love interest of marcus gives as her reason for one of the in the title was that he was a yet in the books it was because he ignored her and she felt that she would be better off marrying someone who her as a person br br marcus in the movie gets a slave named yet in the books he could barely afford his apartment let alone afford a slave there was certainly no romantic between the nonexistent slave and a female gladiator br br on the whole if you want good cookie cutter roman stereotypes get if you want good roman from the classical history viewpoint get i,negative
i really felt the movie was ahead of its time the one potential daughter in law was such a strong career oriented woman she knew what she wanted and was but firm with the over bearing mother in law to be the mother's role was played extremely well you just loved to hate her her need to control her son's lives was evil if you've ever been in a relationship where you've been judged and found lacking and everybody involved knew it this may hit too close to home it's been years since i saw this movie and i remember thinking that this plot and dialog would work in a 50's or 60's movie it is difficult to watch because of the mother and dynamic but i would love to watch it again i keep hoping to find it on one of the old movie channels but so far no luck attempts to buy it were also i don't believe it's on tape or dvd,positive
anyone who enjoys the weirdness of twin peaks or any fan of who knows that the most frightening things are the familiar things will really enjoy this film don't watch it as a horror film in the traditional western sense but more like a fairy tale it is gory and definitely for 16 but once you start watching it you too will find yourself drawn into the definitely one of those movies that hangs with you for a few days after watching i'll never look at my the same way again,positive

beauty in trouble v is not a great title all the of this film fail to capture what it really is – an adult fairy tale a poor girl is by a prince the girl played by the stunning anna has an isabelle beauty with a red hair face and figure that are sexual and endlessly fascinating she has a of a husband but they have great sex the kids listen to the through walls it's rough and passionate as the sex of the working class seems to often be portrayed in film but it's also for us to recognize that this is the thing that them together in an otherwise marriage the husband a professional car thief is eventually caught and thrown in jail how she got into this marriage we don't know but she is not exactly a high class herself but she's beautiful intelligent we assume and loves her gorgeous and kids she deserves more and she may get the life she deserves eventually no spoiler she is forced to move back with mom after her husband is sent to jail mom has a hideous second husband read ugly he is a real horror show he borders on being a child to the kids he's obsessive about but at the table all the while demanding manners and from the kids he's real low class socially handicapped mom puts up with him like husband at least he's hideous but horny the confusing layered characterizations are what make the film so powerful and interesting these characters have flaws some seemed driven by class some by character these flaws and details of character are charming one minute and the next the audience really has to feeling of class sexuality ambition commitment and the role of a woman as mother and wife through the quickly changing of the story at the bottom line as with many films like the wonderful movie than water the children can be the victims what's right in the end may be what's best for the children – who are our salvation and our future it's a theme played out these days in films ranging from to children of men foreign cinema is in intricate morality tales that life is confusing brutal unfair and as adults we must get our act together in order to pass something worthwhile to the next generation if we give in to our instincts we may lose ourselves and the world in the process the extraordinary and complex and colorful characters in v speak to the qualities of what makes a man what drives a women what hope what is class is it economic status of the fabric of one's character the film is richly human as by the very last 2 shots which moved me incredibly and unexpectedly the director's choices are so subtle and intelligent that to compare this to an american film seems unfair americans sometimes seem to lack the desire to consider that in human nature don't offer set but here in fairy tale for adults are interesting moral questions don't be fooled by the simple story this is a great movie,positive
i hate films about sports i guess the pre hollywood sports film is a bit tough for me to swallow because it follows the most identical of ideas each year what i am trying to say is that there isn't much creativity in this genre use exhibit a – the game plan as evidence of this if you want so needless to say i was to watch this documentary because of the sports theme element but at the same time i couldn't wait because i love surfing documentaries like step into and odyssey i took a step i into the unknown and to be honest at first i wasn't happy i didn't like the direction the people or the style that the film to present these young sport with my first viewing i thought that history couldn't be fully recorded so i thought was stock footage with faux actors acting like they were from the late 70s the music was intense it matched well had made a mixed tape from this generation for our enjoyment but the visuals were anything but stimulating the scenes while using amazing music to support just seemed and too long for my attention i wanted to get to know the not just watch them for ten minutes in an empty pool i wanted a combination of who these kids were where they went during their rise of fame and where they are now it felt like i was watching the birth of our nation with a great score to the just their all day i wanted to know the men behind the br br then with a thought that i would have another negative review under my belt i watched the film again with audio commentary his passion his voice his knowledge of the people and what he had to do to get this film accomplished wow ed me this suddenly transformed into the film i wanted to see lets us know more of where these kids are today what they are still doing and how difficult it was to get some of them onto the camera he hadn't seen many of them in 20 years so to hear these challenges brought the human element back to the surface he was sincere he was sympathetic yet he showed so much dedication to this project while i do not agree with everything that he chose to do i e the sean penn mess up is not punk rock he this film for me it was due to this commentary that i rate this film much higher than originally thought br br jay adams tony jeff ho peggy these are just a few of the name that need to be mentioned and continually praised if is to continue the fast growing trend that it currently sees while tony name sells products it is these guys these mild mannered that an entire sport sure others were probably doing it in the stone ages but these guys did it with style grace and moved it to the next level this was a for them but it also them in a direction i believe none of them were ready for and z boys is the story of evolution being in the right place at the right time living in a generation without to keep us planted and about friendship we have seen so many stories during the years that show the progression of humanity and this is definitely a story that should be added to that i cannot say that i loved this film nor will i but it should be standard viewing for everyone learning or wanting to experience the growth of the trend it was sad it was emotional and these guys aren't multi over again – they are people with a passion and very rarely do you see that in documentaries br br overall i cannot watch this film again but i will suggest it to friends and family time after time i think the downfall for this film to me was the filming – the attempts to be avant garde with the style which ultimately drew away from the characters and events as mentioned before there were some elements that dragged on too much which left us with little to no time to know where these guys were now obviously had a passion for this sport for the people but he seemed out of focus at times the music was intense and worked perfectly with the film sean penn while he was decent with his voice over wasn't needed at all they could have spent the money elsewhere on the positive the audio commentary captures everything that the regular film was missing voice instead of brings a stronger human element to the scene while he tells us better stories of the people places and events watch this film but don't expect to be blown away listen to the audio commentary i think you will be impressed br br grade out of,positive
this is one of stan best solo before the with oliver hardy laurel is a very good actor in the film and provides good comedy the best scene in the film is when stan dances with mae laurel his real life common law wife at the stan does silly dances that are funny without you hearing the music i will recommend this to any stan laurel fan,positive
i first saw this movie in the mid 80's and thought it was a funny movie as i have gotten older i watch this movie for different reasons i like to view it when i'm feeling sad nostalgic for my lost youth i was a teenager 14 at the time of the release of this film so i can identify with many of the same problems that the in this movie have i enjoy seeing the clothes that were worn at this time and hearing the same old urban legends such as was told on the overnight trip the film is also full of funny one liners i highly recommend this movie to anyone that was a teenager in the late 70's to early 80's,positive
dr micheal harvey runs a mental asylum he has a different approach to the insane he methods of treatment he treats everyone like family there are no locks on the patients doors and he lets some of the inmates act out their twisted fantasies he lets sergeant hugh dress and act as a soldier and harriet be a mother to a doll including letting her put it to bed in a dr stevens is outside letting judge oliver w cameron gene ross chop a up with an axe it turns out to be a bad move as once dr stevens back is turned the judge plants the axe in his shoulder soon after nurse charlotte arrives at the having arranged an interview with dr stevens about a possible job she is met by the head nurse masters as anne mcadams and is offered a trail position she gets to know and becomes well liked among the patients however things eventually start to turn sour the phone lines are cut an old lady named mrs has her tongue cut out and she starts to get a strange feeling that things just aren't right somehow then one night all the dark secrets are violently revealed produced and directed by s f this film has a great central idea which builds into a cool twist ending but ultimately is a bit of a chore to sit through because of it's low budget and a rather slow script by tim there are just too many long boring stretches of dialogue by the inmates not a lot really happens until the final twenty odd minutes the film has no real visual quality as it's set entirely in the and it's grounds which is basically just a big bland house in the middle of nowhere there's no graphic gore in it a few of blood here and there and thats lot there's a bit of nudity but like the gore not much the acting is pretty strong especially and the photography is flat and and i can't even remember what the music was like the twist ending is great but it just takes far too long to get to it a film that had a lot of potential that was probably held back by it's budget ok i guess but i think it would have worked a lot better if the story had been turned into a half an hour form the episode,negative
this is not a good film br br i can usually sit through a van damme movie if i have to as they are usually a bit of a laugh and don't require much thought this one has no redeeming features br br it has a distinct lack of plot humour acting direction etc etc a real stinker on all levels br br i have never walked out of a cinema during a movie although i came damme close here br br avoid at all costs,negative
i started to watch this show by accident but i love it the fact that main character is in a wheelchair is something that lacking in television especially for kids shows my five year old nephew as most children do would just stare at people who were in or had some other type of but after he watched it just seemed to be a normal to him every time he saw a wheelchair he would simply say like and go on with what ever he was originally doing and yes the animation is a little crude but if you can stand to watch through the first season of the simpsons then this isn't that bad the genie is actually an angel who is there to help learn lessons in life he can not walk some else said he could walk some of the time i've seen every episode and he never to my walked he is a he has no feeling below his he mentions it in an episode as for the humor if you can get a copy of the episode which boy bands you will instantly love this show,positive
publicity for this film suggests that it is shocking and sensational well we opera lovers see some strange sights in opera houses so we are not shocked by the duke of during his of la donna mobile nor is it sensational to see sing in the bath it is just crass and boring what stands out about this film is its lack of imagination director van sets the palace in a seedy swimming pool in fact he is not the duke he is just a character named so it's difficult to see why he has lots of on and his own lives in a flat that is with the orange and in the spotted that is de among avant garde directors the sorry ride around on yawn br br concepts on an opera like this can produce unexpected and unintentional humour what can we make of the fact that has a maid even though she lives in a flat when the call goes out that is being taken to prison we see him being out of the swimming pool by two in pink shorts one that he is going to be charged with in a public swimming pool br br it was common for opera films to be lip 20 years ago but there is just no excuse for it today a dubbed opera is like soft porn you don't believe in what is happening because the performers are not making enough effort the actress in role does not seem to have learned her lines properly she barely moves her lips when she is supposed to be singing when she sings in the bath she lies back with her legs slightly it is difficult to tell which the sound is supposed to be from the duke later this by singing while engaging in with giving a new meaning to the phrase in the canyon br br the ambiance of the sound never seems right with the orchestra sometimes sounding as though it is being played through a radio fairly slow are preferred so that the overall effect is of a in your local pub br br this is a film of a production by opera is a village in in the they normally perform in a in a field if i had been watching this performance in a in a field in i would have been fairly indulgent by filming this production and giving it a worldwide audience the villagers also hold themselves open to worldwide,negative
this movie has to be one of the most boring and stupid movies that have done br br it looks like a commercial from beginning to end the the whole time on a it doesn't have pace rhythm it's illogical what a mess you can tell what's gonna happen since the first 15 minutes and the ending wow br br spoiler br br jesus christ how the hell got shot are you serious worst scene of someone getting shot ever br br end of spoiler br br bad directing bad script bad acting really bad overall i wouldn't recommend this movie at all it's a waste of money and time,negative

it's difficult to express how bad this movie is even in the 1950s when intellectual searching for the meaning of life was and of physical clean clothes etc was a common reaction to the smug middle class of both the usa and western europe this movie would have been a stinker the plot is a of several ex if that's the correct latin the acting consists of deadpan stares broken by occasional by the male lead as well as the females the gratuitous view of catherine or breasts are worthy of a commercial the repeated orchestra rehearsal in the abandoned building is i'm sure heavy with meaning in the director's mind but to me is just one more stupid symbol thrown into this meaningless movie i'm because my time has been wasted watching this excuse for an art the scenery is beautiful and the sex scene is hot but underneath his clothes this king has no substance,negative
for unknown reasons this beautiful masterpiece didn't get well deserved recognition and has been vastly under appreciated by many american movie critics so it's easy to understand that i've met lots of troubles trying to find this movie finally i watched it and it was so beautiful sincere and poignant that for the first time in my life i watched one movie five times in one week after getting the tape the story is focused on the friendship between two young boys and eleven and twelve years old who are very different from each other but they are becoming the best and only friends the beauty and sincerity of their friendship have been shown in the cure so sincere and naturally as it has never been before there are so many beautiful heartfelt and poignant scenes particularly on the river which strike the heart and can't leave any human indifferent to them the movie also is full of incredibly powerful and emotional symbolism particularly strong with shoe which also greatly visual impression from such beautiful work the story written by robert is well written and on the contrary to overwhelming majority of modern hollywood's products practically every scene every phrase and every sentence in the movie is meaningful and bring something important about characters and relations between them peter who as i know had no major experience in movie directing before showed his great abilities and talents in this the cinematography is also superb with perfectly selected locations for the movie but the most important is perfect acting which with all above mentioned makes the cure one of the best movies ever both brad as and joseph as created wonderful atmosphere of sincere friendship and magnificent chemistry between two main characters only one this movie i haven't seen most of their other works is enough to name them as one of the best actors of their generation also give a terrific performance as mother it's terribly sad that such talented actors didn't get wide recognition while numerous overrated stars enjoy enormous publicity and huge finally it would be unfair not to mention amazing soundtrack written by david and terrific mark song one of the best songs that i've ever heard in the movies my great escape so all that i can say about the cure is one simple word – great at any point of view this movie is a beautiful heartfelt and inspiring work of all people involved in making of this masterpiece i have to credit all those people who put their hearts and souls into the movie and universal pictures which among numerous formulaic commercial projects has found a way to make such a beautiful movie but such movie so rarely come to movie theaters that very often studios themselves don't realize what gem they have made that they're unable to provide respective marketing campaign the only one minor about the cure for me is its short length only minutes br br i don't want to write more about the movie because it's simply impossible to put its beauty and sincerity into words so if you have any opportunity for watching the cure rent it or buy it and you wouldn't be disappointed br br 10 out of 10 sorry for my bad english,positive
the third part of miike's dead or alive trilogy is as unrelated to the first two parts as they were to each other more or less show and are back again for the lead roles but this time the movie us forward 300 years or so into the future post apocalypse br br plays a tough cop an for the corrupt city's extreme police and show plays a drifter who up with a bunch of the city's rebels the film must have been shot in hong kong as most of the rest of the cast are with and ho being the most faces there's also a hk stunt crew on hand for the films action sequences which are very cool in a hk via miike style br br this could be fodder for a dreadful low budget b movie but in miike's hands it of course becomes something more interesting it's quite a slow thoughtful film that along and doesn't try to force anything down the viewer's throat characters are rounded and interesting and the plot an interesting but fairly loose for the story to be hung on br br all in all a fairly low key effort until the action scenes which show miike's increasing at directing and very nice action watching the short making of with show in wire is really fun you can tell they were having a great time br br the finale of the film tries to tie together the 3 dead or alive movies which is quite unnecessary because each one is really self contained miike's explanation of the connection is very funny though and the series off quite nicely br br not as deep or well developed as not as outrageous and intense as still another good miike movie though,positive
without a doubt one of tobe best epic great special effects and the me baby,positive
i have been away from for the last 10 years during that time i constantly lived in london when i have seen the movie i realised how much i am i am not just from turkey i am a part of turkey one of my part is the sound of the the people of the br br probably faith akin thought that he has done great musical documentary but i must say it is more than that it is about putting nice blend of vastly different cultures approaches politics into a delicious pot br br as we all know turkey to be precise is always comes and goes between being eastern or western city as one of the band member said is a cultural city but much more a eastern city because we always tried to be a western city it shows we've never been one br br this movie will catch from very first second music is excellent people are fascinating especially and singers band members it is nice to see you all at a small cinema in wood green,positive

when i heard disney had the rights to underdog i figured at the very least it would be a cool pixar affair and we'd get a great adults kids film like the alas i forgot how disney must dumb down classic material for today's down youth what were they thinking underdog was a product of the 60's your prime is in their 40's and 50's why would you it to 5 year olds it should have been done ala roger rabbit half animated half real instead we get characters like riff a wolf into another dog underdog can't have an energy as we're now so it would obviously be a or drugs reference the only good casting was patrick as because he actually sorta resembles the cartoon version otherwise old school underdog fans should avoid this like the plague it is what next a live action version of the go go disguised as a re history lesson my advanced apologies if disney jumps on this,negative
as far as fake documentaries go anyone this one is up there with the best it looks very real and that is what it aims for in recent light of events this movie is even scarier so you could say it was ahead of it's time when it was released in the 70s br br one can only hope that a government like that doesn't exist looking for terrorists and people just like that of course the people interviewed all seemed to have the same 70s mentality screw the politicians and politics in general maybe that wasn't so clever one might think but hey don't forget it's only a movie o,positive
well made documentary focusing on two who get in the united states it's your basic fish out of water story with a non fiction twist i found it fascinating to see how peter and lived prior to coming to america and how they adapted once they arrived here in texas they expected a sort of heaven but found out that it's a lot harder than it looks to cope well in the states they go from hopeful to somewhat more realistic everywhere they go they meet with paper that most citizens may take for granted they that they are than the african americans here and don't feel accepted because of that one of the lost boys manages to leave to go to kansas where he finds conditions slightly better but still less than ideal there are people that try to help them as well as try to hurt them in this film not shown but talked about are those who put a gun to their heads and robbed them leading one lost boy to comment that all black people in america are no good i found it interesting too that they arrived in in august 2001 a month before the world trade center was attacked by terrorists i had hoped to see their reaction to this tragedy but it's not mentioned at all still all in all a really well done documentary with no narration none is needed really the lost boys do a fine job on the events going on around them without any help at all thank you very much,positive
although this was the first hunter s thompson documentary i have seen it was average at best despite the of huge star appearances such as johnny bill murray gary busey and a few others i was let down by this and yet it was still a little interesting what kept me watching was some of the old clips from fear and loathing in las vegas and where the buffalo not that good mostly because of the old guys rambling and things any fan would already know i still think they were it because it could have been down by at least half still if your a fan i would you'll like anything that has to do with hunter best regards,negative
after seeing the dvd release of the blues brothers and their mention of on bio my boyfriend and i were hungry for more information on john belushi i had heard of but didn't know too much about it and found it way in the back of the local rental store i understand that dan was really p ed over this movie and i thought it was because it didn't portray them in a good light but that had nothing to do with it br br the movie starts out okay until they wheel in john's body to the when he wakes up on the table and decides to run for it then begins the utter of this movie john is subjected to viewing his life and all of the turmoil he created with angel a puerto cab driver with a wicked sense of humor him to criticism and attempting to try to get him to cross over br br the two actors who portray john and dan look nothing even remotely close to the real actors let alone anyone else related for that matter i e michaels making it difficult to really try to concentrate on them and how they were in real life but that is the tip of the iceberg br br i believe this was supposed to be an artsy film john constantly being tormented by drugs i e the soap in the bathroom being cocaine in such a way that was also difficult to follow the flashbacks are choppy also making it difficult to understand br br probably the most tasteless scene was when john is literally forced to his and is in pain while they remove his heart to it saying that it was large due to drug use yeah we get the point without the grotesque portrayal br br there are very few other actors we know of in the movie where's carrie fisher for instance they were incredibly close and jim belushi would have been a great person to show it looks very cheaply made we felt it looked as if the graphics were from the early 80s or late 70s it felt as if it was filmed in about a week and all in all didn't show the side to john at all i felt i knew a little bit more about him from watching episodes of saturday night live br br on one last note bob comes across by placing himself in the movie arguing with john about writing his life story for someone who was supposed to be very concerning the bust on his of person could match any writer in the national and therefore losing my interest in any of his work from this point forward br br skip this movie if you want to see more on john watch his movies see clips of dan talking about him or hope someone has the taste to make another movie on john that goes along the lines of man on the moon which is ultimately what we were expecting i guess this was a moral kind of movie you know don't do drugs but i guess the creators of this film didn't understand that his death made a number of people like carrie fisher stop doing drugs altogether for that reason,negative

technically with pops between scenes and amateurish flesh requires a lot of patience to sit through and will probably turn off most viewers but the dialogue rings amazingly true and joe who exposes his body in almost every scene also gives an utterly convincing performance a to be sure but the more polished trash made two years later is a definite step forward i suggest you watch that instead 1 2,negative
i recently saw episodes 1 4 and now i can't wait for 5 6 to be available i've heard they are coming soon seems destined to become a cult hit among the university crowd and all others with a taste for quirky comedy it's obvious that the budget was small but the care taken in the script is quite evident in fact the simplicity of the show allowed me appreciate the writing and the acting more is a master of the put down i just wish i could remember all the best ones for later use on unsuspecting co workers let's just say that if you don't like i'll personally see to it that your get extra,positive
remember that friend in college who always insisted you rent the movie possible this is the movie he would have made if he'd had the chance br br i wish i could tell you exactly what sea of dust was about it pretends to be the story of a doctor who gets sucked into weird goings on in the black forest he goes there to help but ends up being caught between two young women both of whom he seems to have a thing for but that's just scratching the surface this is the kind of movie where things just randomly happen and not nice thing people are constantly being whipped and stabbed there's a pair of creepy little girls who appear to have walked out of the shining tom is some kind of imaginary religious figure who decides he doesn't want to be imaginary anymore he's got a plan to take over the world by sharing jesus suffering br br on some level this is a movie about sex it's one without nudity which was a disappointment but there's no the intent on another whole level it's a paradise unexpected stuff happens so often that it stops being unexpected by the time the doctor travels through his birth to be you'll just it up to the crazy nature of the flick br br on the down side the film is pretty some of the points are home over and over if you're watching it with a bunch of stoned friends this might prove an asset,positive
although many fans are delighted with her work here i have to pass as a socially prominent member of the british smart set her british accent is basically non existent and her line sound just like well line and her seems like and basil usually a fine actor seems off throughout and also speaks with a weird sort of accent in his case something like italian though we cannot be sure the script manages to keep his precise a secret he is further by the script which gives him one of those old movie something to do with nerves which requires surgery the only real entertainment is provided by the kay francis sporting a bob with side in her role as a who shamelessly men including and then them out she pulls it off with her unique she is the only living thing in this dead sea of a film,negative
a fun filled romp full of silly if not sometimes cruel jokes not the best of movies but definitely well worth watching david niven and stewart granger are their usual charming with granger as an especially delightful and ingenious gentleman as wonderful as always with such a delightful character that is absolutely the story line is typical but full of surprises especially concerning the unconventional relationships between granger and niven,positive
the photography and editing of the movie is exceptional for the time period builds upon each scene of the movie leading to the the revolt and the massacre at the town as much as the movie is a high point in the cinema it is also an example of realism by the soviet government used the arts including film as a means to spread the message of the revolution portrayal of the revolt on the offers the viewer insight into the message of the soviet elite theory and perspectives of class struggle are demonstrated as the sailors who represent the workers and the officers who represent the elite of society much of the film demonstrates the communist party message and how film was used as a tool of propaganda,positive
despite its new york setting new york characters in the is not an american movie it is better than that what is most unusual is the mixing of styles and genres director shows a touch in combining comedy with tragedy pathos with drama br br the secret of success appears to be a of great characters each could have their own film built around them and then filling them out with beautifully realized performances from one of the most wonderfully casts one would struggle to find in the same country let alone in the same movie ranging from to robert burke to peter who here reveals that he has a lot more in him than the bad guy stereotypes he plays in hollywood pictures even sandra is funny here br br an added bonus cream on the substantial cake is john soundtrack,positive
watching this movie brings several words to mind ridiculous improbable self indulgent and finally and boring badly directed badly photographed and badly acted the film is a confusing mess with plot lines if one can call them that in all directions someone may have used a five year finger painting as a as punishment for this childish crime of a movie this cast of stars should be and sent to their respective without dinner all in all it seems like george needed an excuse to get together with his little buddies for a paid summer vacation and we're the paying for it bad george bad,negative
is not a great italian thriller get ready for the spoiler the main suspect the professor didn't do it but is it really a spoiler no because you know that he couldn't have been the murderer from the very beginning he and a student witnessed the first murder so there is absolutely no suspense as to whether or not the professor is the killer there is a long tedious build up to the final explanation of the mystery the solution is interesting but it comes out of nowhere the rest of the movie and it's not a short movie is just not exciting enough to hold your interest even in the tradition of wrong man accused it fails because the police never seriously the professor and the killer is never after him dull dull dull,negative
some films are just plain silly beyond explanation this is one of them words cannot do justice to the wooden acting the stupid and the ever predictable outcome about the only thing that makes this film halfway worth watching are the scantily clad women and the mute guy for you ladies in it the leader of the warrior women and are quite appealing to the eye but that's about all this movie has going for it br br some silliness in point one scene when they start to journey to the of the dark one they are walking away from a supposedly destroyed land but we clearly see a 1980's new york behind them about 2 of this movie looks like it was filmed in a high school basement the deadly puppets look about as scary as a street monster i have to agree with in that many 1950's trash b movies did a better job than this about the only one i can think of that didn't was teenagers from outer space,negative
of all the actresses in film today scott thomas would be my choice if i had to one for on a desert island br br i could watch her simply say sitting in a chair for a couple of hours so it's difficult for me to be objective completely with respect to one of her films br br however i did enjoy this movie and its story per se more than that by the average among the many persons previously commenting on this site br br harrison ford is not one of the actors though whose performances i enjoy most but he's one of a handful who have reached the level of moving from 7 figures to 8 per film so who am i to argue br br ford though is often in his acting style and sometimes seems to be in serious need of an and a shot of and random hearts is in this br br his obsession in the which both he and thomas have endured with regard to their linked is understandable given his profession as a detective but not to the level presented here although not far it crossed the line into the annoying category br br however most of the scenes after he and thomas became involved were interesting and well played br br this film could have been a 9 but i'd lower it a couple of levels based upon ford's overall performance and and another because it contained a bit more of the sub plot elements than seemed required,positive
john travolta was excellent as michael in the movie by the same name i don't think a better portrayal could have been done the movie was funny yet touching michael is a very human angel if their is such is superb in her role as a reporter as she goes from disbelief to belief bill hurt and robert are great as fellow each bent on proving the of the angel on earth each of the supporting cast is wonderful especially the older woman i do not know her screen name who plays michael's mother one of the movies i have seen in years i could watch this movie dozens of times,positive
i have no idea how accurate the portrayal of flynn appears in this film but even as a work of fiction it is one of the worst films i have ever seen br br the script is all over the place and leaves you wondering how he got from one scene to the next you are just not given the minimum information needed to keep some continuity and understand his present situation and it is difficult to understand and other characters' motives behind some of their behaviour br br add to that a series of silly and implausible situations and you have film that comes across as one of your dreams that seems to make sense while you are asleep but when you wake up and you try to remember it it is just strange disjointed and totally unrealistic br br there are many long boring musical sections of the film that to me are either bad direction or a bad director trying and failing to be artistic br br none of the characters are even likable and the flynn character comes across as a self serving liar thug thief murderer bear fist fighter and who will do anything and step on anyone to further his own dreams and somehow despite all that great opportunities just seem to miraculously fall into his lap br br this film is not entertaining nor satisfying in any way and by all accounts not even historically accurate so why even watch it to rub salt into the wound the dvd had one of the worst i have ever seen it wasn't even in wide screen or 5 1 it had terrible and many many from what looked like a film reel that had been gathering dust and somewhere,negative
this is the epitome of bad 80's film making unless you are a pre girl riding on a big name like madonna a story line that physically one's intelligence and humour that is most suited for a school if there was ever any doubt i think this turd of a movie clearly displays absolute lack of acting talent and made me feel highly embarrassed on her behalf the only thing i can't believe is that they ever let the director near another movie again madonna spends most of the movie around like an doll and talking like a baby it is painfully obvious that the only reason this movie was ever made was due to the fact that madonna was a big name in pop music at the time do not be into seeing this awful attempt to cash in on pop stardom stay away at all costs,negative
anybody who thinks this film is great desperately needs their head seen to it strikes me that this film was made as a joke it has no good points whatsoever the props cost about 10 and the entire set looks like it could fall down at any time why do films like this get made in the first place this also had two of the most annoying characters i have ever come across in the young boy on the spaceship and the redneck from the century this film is almost as bad as cool as ice starring the incredibly talented vanilla misunderstood ice,negative
it took me a while to find this movie since they don't have it yet on dvd and my vcr is not worth up again i guess all the to drug use is too much for some folks but i found a decent on ebay and i must say that anyone who takes this movie too seriously is just retarded it is a slap stick spoof in the vein of airplane i must say that when i watched it on showtime or spotlight growing up in the 80s i enjoyed the humor a whole lot more then than i do now but it's definitely worth watching just to see what they i e movie makers were able to get away with before the just say no unleashed their propaganda sing we are all on drugs it's a silly film and worth the 10 i paid off of ebay to get it on dvd just don't even think about comparing it to the original that's just plain stupid what are you high,positive
east was a big disappointment for me but the saddest thing about this movie is that it turned out to be john last film role he died just before shooting was completed on this there are only a few laughs throughout this western spoof and for a comedy that doesn't cut it if you want to see a spoof of western movies the answer is obvious see mel classic blazing or if you want to see candy in much better material see summer rental or uncle buck just to name a few these three movies as well as others shows us what a great comic actor he was east does not what a shame br br out of four,negative
just before dawn is one of the best tales of wilderness horror out there it's one of the finest made slashers of the 80's and it easily blows movies like the final terror don't go in the woods or the prey out of the water br br a group of young adults come to check out the mountain property that one of the group has just bought however they are not alone in the wild a in murderer who seems to be in two places at once is lurking and apparently hates br br director who gave us such great b films as 1976 and blue sunshine 1977 does an excellent job with this smart thriller as well the movie is nicely atmospheric with a sense of tension and some strong suspense this film makes even the open wilderness seem claustrophobic the locations are beautiful and well captured by the cinematography the music score is a true original and awesome in contrast with the visuals br br deborah benson makes for a great lead her presence was captivating henry delivers a good performance as lover and chris provides some occasional charisma the supporting cast especially veteran actor kennedy also does quite well br br a true gem of the slasher genre that needs no gore to thrill definitely well worth seeking out for slasher fans and horror buffs alike see it br br 1 2 out of,positive
that movie while slightly flawed was entirely entertaining about half an hour into be cool i started to have hollywood homicide flashbacks but guess what this is worse even the dance number is bad i like most of the cast in this movie so that makes me feel bad about writing a negative review of it but i feel the rock andre 3000 and vince vaughn were in a comedy no one else seemed to decide what movie genre they were acting in i feel bad for travolta because he brought the same from get to this movie he was totally consistent in the role but this movie is so different from the original that the character sticks out like a sore thumb i was going to give this movie 4 10 because i like the actors so much but there is a conversation in the movie about a certain song that is so i couldn't believe the performers actually said it if you want to go to the movies this weekend there should still be some oscar out there that would be a much better way to spend your time,negative
mainly a biography of a doctor robert robert downey who has his way in the king's palace for the first half of the film and then helps out the in the second half mainly meg ryan br br the good fantastic set decoration i e the lush king's palace and make this a visual treat the language is also very tame ian and hugh grant provide interesting support br br the bad after 50 60 minutes this movie simply gets too boring it desperately needed to be given some spark after an hour but it does the opposite it drags on and on the script certainly needed some badly needed shall we say the film may look nice but it's a long two hours to sit through too long,negative
what starts as a comedy drama and then halfway turns into a melodrama made a major star of john garfield and so but jeffrey is not to be as the object of affection of the four daughters is very handsome and is so charming it's easy to believe that all four daughters could fall for him although garfield received most of the kudos became a major leading man at warner bros as a result of this film br br michael insisted on location shooting for the scene making it the highlight of the film throughout the is enough to inspire awe a soap opera by has been turned into a cinema masterpiece,positive
the book gets 10 out of 10 stars br br probably contains spoilers of both the book and the movie br br if you've never read geoffrey rogue male the source material for man hunt you'll likely enjoy fritz treatment of the story on the other hand if you're in my camp and have practically the book the movie will be a crashing disappointment i'll assume you've already read a synopsis of the story and proceed to my complaints little novel is one of the all time great suspense classics taut and spare with only a bare handful of characters to the action fritz lang and his screen writer dudley feel the need to throw in the brother and a sympathetic the latter of which the depth of the story by an motivation into the screenplay where the novel needed none in fact the true climax of the book was not the escape from his underground but rather his self acceptance of his true motive for going on his hunt in the first place and that's another thing if david and quentin tarantino can get us all the way through fight club and kill bill 1 without revealing the names of their respective protagonists why can't lang what hat did they pull that out of which brings me to my complaint hunter is so british he would bleed a union jack if you cut him but walter who plays him is canadian he can barely sustain the accent which is only slightly deeper and more convincing that kevin in robin hood he looked about right in the role and was a fine actor for the 1940s but as rogue reluctant hero let's look to the itself for a more convincing version remake soon with subtlety and with please i'll direct it for,negative
i have to rate this movie at a 10 i'm sorry but i think it's classic comedy then if you're rating it to other madonna movies well what you wanna tell me it wasn't her best movie ever didn't mira sorvino win an oscar for almost the same performance not ten years later please this movie deserves much more credit than it gets plus i like to think of it as an a study into the of the 80's remember when you could from sam and in the same day remember when women wore proudly so it was no last emperor it was still good there are certain movies i'd be willing to watch everyday three actually that up my day and make me smile if you like who's that girl then i'd also recommend party girl and and high school reunion,positive
evil never looked so bad they meant it br br when a buddy of mine picked this dvd up at a half book store i didn't know what to expect i mean based on the title i knew it would be worth a laugh but i didn't realize how laughable it would really be br br the first time through i missed some of the dialogue if you could call it that because we were all too busy fun at the plot of the movie it seemed like it was written in filmed in less than a week and they hadn't the budget to go back and fix some of the minor flaws wait did i say minor i meant the exact opposite for instance the main character is credited as but several times throughout the film he is referred to as br br if the plot holes aren't enough fun for you take a look at the acting nobody seems overly concerned about the zombie in their state including the mother of the main character who is missing for days while she sits in front of a reading a book br br the constraints that the budget puts on the movie are equally as hilarious maybe they didn't have a to film wherever they were because during the big motorcycle chase scene the characters are all traffic the zombies who had just killed twenty or so people actually stop at a stop sign coming out of a parking lot i don't even do that but then again i'm not a biker zombie the ending of the movie looks like they just ran out of money it ends so suddenly that it leaves you wanting more on second thought it ends just soon enough br br so if you're looking for a good time with your friends seek out this movie it's a great unintentional comedy,negative

i like this movie and have watched my copy twice since it a few weeks ago but you have to view it in the right context br br i haven't checked on the dates but i bet this movie came out after and certainly around the same time as the and walt disney of the vision of being promoted by w von this is reflected in the attempt to seem correct and scientific however whilst certain ideas are put across step for example roughly correctly other things are hilariously wrong br br for example we are told that a rocket to an and then turns ninety degrees to enter space like reaching the top of a flight of stairs and turning onto the landing then we are told that by turning in the direction of the the total of the ship is br br this is an hilarious of what really happens most space launch are located as near the as possible where the earth and anything on its surface is at roughly a thousand miles per hour including any rocket to space in an direction the same as the of the planet of course if the ship turned to travel once in space its speed in relation to the surface of the earth would be greater but it would add nothing to the actual of the vehicle in this movie as air speed br br similarly we are told that the only feel free fall or when they reach some thousands of miles from the earth outside of the planets field again incorrect most travel no higher than a couple of hundred miles up but as long as they and their including crew are travelling at an adequate that their momentum in an direction the pull of gravity they will in free fall of course travel far enough from earth and even a slow object will coast outside the gravity well but in order to leave earth towards the moon for example requires the of escape around twenty one thousand miles per hour so the vehicle will have already and by definition br br but the movie has vastly more hilarious stuff than this someone decided it would be more fun if they missed the moon due to a technical problem fell asleep for a few days and then woke up to find they had accidentally gone to mars the captain then to the effect that this must have been divine at which point any to being scientific is torn into little pieces like and thrown upon the wind amid the merry dance of an increasingly plot br br the strength of a film like this in fact is in how far we've come not least in attitudes to women the drivel upon the female crew member is both hilarious and also shocking to think that such attitudes were so recently normal br br as i said at the start i find this film very entertaining as a late night lights out romp through the romance of travel in outer space from the perspective of the days before it had actually happened an to the cold routine of as it has now become in the twenty first century br br i won't reveal the ending it is both brave and shocking for a movie of this vintage and character,negative
it's not often that a tv series grabs me right off the bat a recent chance of the pilot for surface had me glued to my seat for the entirety of the episode after which i immediately set out on a search to learn everything i could about this wonderful series to my i found out it had been canceled after a mere 15 episodes despite its strong ratings and extremely reviews such a shame br br since then i've acquired the remaining episodes and found the first 5 or 6 to be among the best television i've ever watched just fantastic from start to finish and as another reviewer commented i loved how they ended every episode with a huge finish i imagine watching it each week i would've been screaming with tension and just captivated desperately waiting for the next episode to be released growing up i always heard that was how early serial movies used to do it ending with a huge cliffhanger to get the crowds back into the theater for the next episode br br well it seems for some reason or another the suits decided to kill this off and apparently the people behind the show must've seen the writing on the wall because after episode 6 things definitely take a turn for the worse i wouldn't say the episodes actually become boring but a lot of the plot elements become a bit more clichéd and i've got to say the final episode really left me feeling cheated i just wish the show's creators were given a fair chance the only other show that left me feeling like that was the first season of stargate sg 1 which just tremendously feeling very true and made from the heart surface was a great series and maybe one day some well tv lover will see all the of emotion about the show's and bring back this show one can hope at least,positive
if you are going to see this movie by all means don't go into this movie with the expectation of this movie will be absolutely hilarious because you will be let down yeah sure its funny at times but i would consider it a political thriller as a comedy the performances are very good especially by jeff goldblum as the head of the election company even though he has limited screen time he makes a lasting impression of course robin williams is excellent laura is very good too what a surprise she is one of the finest actresses in hollywood and one scene in particular shows this this film makes you think what if a comedian ran for president and actually won would the country be better off or would the country into a million pieces,positive
firstly this is not an adaptation of a stephen king book short story or anything else from web site and their review on the show when it first aired he never writes down to his audience and he never betrays contempt for his subjects his first original work for television stephen king's cbs july 16 9 11 p m is no exception br br the series was apparently going to be as others have mentioned an ongoing series which is why we never saw the ending after the cliffhanger they left us on but this was never quite made clear to the viewers who were left wondering how it all ends br br when the series came out on it itself as having the never before seen ending it should have said the should never be seen ending br br spoiler br br the very ending was the only significant part changed for the video though parts of the whole were left out and that changed ending was what destroyed the story for example rather than our two fbi agents realizing that they were now labeled as bad guys and on the run from the evil jude anderson of the shop as originally broadcast jude simply walks up to them and they shoot him bang dead and no real emotion to speak of in the scene on the bit with and his wife going whereas the original ending left us with a spectacular cliff on the video they simply get out of the a car br br end spoiler br br it was a sad ending to a rather well made mini series and makes the video completely not worth buying or even renting sincerely save your money and your time,negative
frantic somewhat mean spirited humor in this city boy turned wannabe farmer tale it is not outrageous enough to appeal to the will ferrell crowd and not interesting enough to carry the feature length the most i can praise son in law would be to say that for the most part it avoids toilet humor the main problem is that all of the characters lack warmth and shore is so that he is a most unlikable hero there are a few amusing bits involving farm animals and that's about it the story what there is is so simplistic and predictable it makes jury duty seem like gone with the wind,negative
or as it is sometimes called is not very good that is it's bad jodie foster had already won an oscar at this point why did she agree to do this i don't know br br the hostage relationship is not believable even if it is a common psychological phenomenon in real life br br worst of all this film features a scene where hopper and foster ride a boat under the bridge a bridge in seattle which means that traffic had to stop so that the bridge could open i've had to wait for that bridge to go down many times almost all of them on the bus it's not a pleasant wait this film caused unnecessary bridge waiting and the world is a worse place for it,negative
what was the quote by at the end of the film about a person's past this film was very disturbing to watch in the sense that it was a true story and to think that humanity is still so cruel after all these years makes me ashamed br br everyone is human and everyone has the right to live their life in peace and harmony br br live and let live br br if anyone knows the quote please let me know thank you br br this film should be shown a lot more as true events as horrific as these shown in the film should be known to all in the hope that things will change sooner rather than later,positive

as a fan of history mythology and fantasy knights show pulled me in from the get go it has semi decent scripting the costumes are fantastic there are exceptions it has pretty good acting and the heroes and villains all play well off each other br br scripts half a script is pretty great the other half falls flat but its all mixed together meaning many episodes turn out so so also some of the key players are repeatedly being given dead lines king and for instance they need to be given something more i'm not sure what but the writers should be able to come up with something acting apart from some over acting by villagers horrid lines they end up putting too much effort into casting did extremely well in choosing their leads and so on everyone good and bad works well together costumes weapons the everyday clothes that everyone wears are spectacular knight armor that falls short are and a bikini would probably have better protection in her case and wouldn't look as plastic his looks like bunch of snap it together pieces of brown plastic when it should look looks like it was bought at a store and while weapons look cool they also look plastic br br recently knights has taken on too many power rangers traits if you watch the show you'll know what i mean as the series progresses though it should find its and perfect its style overall it is a wonderful show that all ages should enjoy most of my friends and i watch it and we're all 20 the plot and twists though it gets a bit juvenile in places and everything just keeps getting more interesting it might be of some interest to fans of the movie or the t v series the adventures of a lot of adventure a of mystery a dash of romance a of forces at nature check it out my score 7 10,positive
i wasn't sure about getting this movie on dvd because i really do have something against people making black and white films in the 21st century but i ended up buying it anyway i still don't understand why it had to be black and white but that's the only i can see about the film and it sure is a perfect example to see the definitive rise of brazilian cinema not everyone can understand a film like this but it's quite rewarding to those who do unlike o the fits this movie pretty well and the acting is at least as good as that one or other successful brazilian films such as de de etc br br my only hope is that this gem doesn't get insulted and raped by a crappy hollywood remake it's amazing to see how those guys spend of dollars and still can't make a movie that's 1 as good as this possibly low budget flick br br bravo to the entire crew 10 10,positive
there is a phrase by the experimental filmmaker who says some films are structured like a camera on the head of a dog who goes down an alley everything along the way br br that's how this movie is the structure is kurosawa started out as a baby then he became a kid then a young man then a movie director then he started making then he grew old the end the word is used a lot in this film to describe without explaining what makes his films so good great just because the off screen narrator reading a script says that a film is a masterpiece are we supposed to kiss his rear end and accept that a certain movie is one of the great works of art of the 20th century and one more point the voice of paul is used as the voice of kurosawa when from the director's are being read off screen he brings shaped shakespearean tones to the text but why him if you were making a documentary about holiday would you use dame as her voice,negative
the movie begins with much voice over a bad sign then it just downhill with silly and intelligence insulting scenes involving and indians but it reaches new and impressive when all the merry mountain men square dance with each other in a high meanwhile the happy go lucky indians sit around watching them it's a better scene than the dancing in blazing there is a minor flaw in this comparison across the wide is not a comedy br br,negative
as someone has already mentioned on this board it's very difficult to make a fake documentary it requires tremendous skill pacing patience directorial ' a plausible premise a narrative ' and really believable acting aka great acting br br such is not the case with it starts to show its faux hand about the 20 minute mark with 60 minutes left to watch and the viewer starts to realize that he or she is being taken in it's downhill from there br br director gordon simply too soon but to be fair to his problems started early as he explains in the extras he began wanting to do a real doc couldn't get funding and settled for a cheaper way of making his film br br the premise people who have secret lives by themselves on a porn website was perhaps more interesting in 1997 98 when the film was made does a lot of stuff a ' hand held cameras grainy blacks and whites all i guess to a sense of authenticity but it just doesn't work the film is confusing and forced but what ultimately brings it down is the believability of the actors and the pretty awful dialogue,negative
an interesting premise and billy is always good as a dangerous nut bag side note i'd love to see stephen and lance in a flick together talk about raging the soundtrack wasn't terrible either br br but the acting even that of such professionals as and debbie was terrible the directing worse perhaps to the former the dialog like and the camera work barely tolerable still it was the sets that got a big 10 on my scale i don't know where this was filmed but were i to a guess it would be either an open air museum or one of those re where everything is just a bit too well kept to do more than suggest the real old west okay so it was shot on a college kid's budget that said i could have forgiven one or two of the aforementioned faults but taken all together and being generous i could not see giving it more than three stars,negative

when the spirits within was released all you heard from final fantasy fans was how awful the movie was because it didn't seem like final fantasy this is a different story for better or worse the familiar settings characters music story and over the top action scenes should thrill fans of the original game the problem is that it just isn't a good movie in its own right br br the direction during the fight scenes is often sloppy switching camera angles ridiculously fast in an attempt to make the action seem more frenetic but only serving to make the scenes look and confusing br br the cg itself is exceptional but i can't say it's the best i've ever seen since spirits within had much more detail on the characters although i must admit that children's characters moved much more naturally br br the plot is virtually a black hole it's a giant ex designed solely to bring back for one last fight old characters but serve no real purpose other than to please fans character development is nonexistent and the film does nothing at all to resolve any of the plot threads left hanging after the end but it's packed with neat looking fight scenes with magic and limit breaks which is probably what fans wanted anyway br br in the end children is a very flashy but totally brainless action flick that serves more as a side story for final fantasy than a real sequel br br by the way don't think you're hurting my feelings by voting not useful it just makes me feel superior knowing that my so greatly,negative
i saw this years ago and it's entertaining but not profound the basic story is of a young man who dreams of though he's not sure where it is or even if it really exists br br spoilers follow he finally visits it gets transformed to a creature by being bitten by another one then he has to help the other members of the because they're being attacked by save for the accents they all act like good ol' boys not much in tune with the canadian psyche eh someone observed for monsters or substitute jews and for the humans substitute nazis and you're supposed to get an insight into the struggle by the monsters versus the humans well maybe br br one major i had was that while the underground city was interesting it was rather and frankly dirty this must be a convention for movies with underground one would think that if the monsters were the good guys some would have at least a little sense of br br the storyline is a tad thin but that's to introduce characters but it's entertaining enough for a repeat view,positive
if you're in the mood to laugh at a truly bad movie bad in the way only ken russell at his worst can be you must try this one it succeeds in making you feel like you just landed in a 25 porn booth and you can just about smell the on the floor kathleen turner around in a blond wig getting her kicks from pretending to be a two bit hooker she really has a good solid job in the clothing industry and has been hurt so badly by men that this is the only way she can connect and tony plays a hysterical priest who is out to maybe murderer her yet another movie that ends with tony in drag annie shows up and is not allowed to provide an ounce of her usual wit which is reason enough to hate this movie the kinky will love the sex scenes so rent the version in the red box so you can see turner give a cop a taste of his billy club i had to pause the vcr until we stopped laughing,negative

this movie has the distinction of being the worst movie i have ever seen and the only film i have ever given a 1 out of 10 on imdb as of yet i was fooled into renting it because of the cool h r cover art on the box this cover art is the only thing the least bit good about this steaming pile of br br it was about frat boys fighting freaks in a strange but not the least bit interesting post apocalyptic world where the cities are in ruins chaos but apparently the are still a safe and wonderful place for young men to other men into frat the most uninspiring performances by boring characters not so special effects dreary un original scenery and just generally extremely poor quality in all production aspects make this the all time loser on my list br br final rating 1 10 i wish i could give it a zero br br,negative

i rented this movie without having heard or read anything about it what a shame this movie is intelligent witty hilarious fast paced and realistically ridiculous the characters manage to get developed without relying too heavily on clichéd tired stereotypes it was refreshing to watch i couldn't help thinking that marketing would have helped this not so mainstream movie into the for intelligent comedy mainstream the quality of the dialogue and the ease with which the actors a huge range of and comedy is so rare these days i felt that the actors must have really enjoyed in something this rich how is it that national treasure was number one at the box office for three weeks in a row it is so weak in too many ways to mention i guess i'm just happy that movies like seeing are still being made somewhere out there,positive

this show is just another bad comedy which will probably be cancelled after two seasons it's not just that the jokes are sexist racist they're also not funny and clichéd in the first episode the father said something along the lines of ' i wish women didn't go out and get jobs and have the same rights as men blah blah that really helps attitudes huh then he was making fun of his son saying he was weird what parent says their kid is weird so overall this show is boring unoriginal clichéd and most of all not funny yeah american but it does also make you laugh and is obviously taking the thats the difference,negative
to be honest i've never been to the or even africa and after watching the made for television movie heart of darkness i do not think i'd want to the movie completely the book to the highest level possible though the book was not the best i have read after watching the movie i seemed to appreciate the book a hundred times more nicolas the director of the movie did a horrible job portraying joseph into a movie i give some credit for trying to attempt the impossible by making the book into a movie but this may not have been the job for him the movie was to express any part of the other than the of the plot the set and scenery also lacked the beauty conrad portrayed of africa in the book in the book had seen so many great wonders but in the movie you did not get that same experience no i'm not everything on the director the acting in the film was just terrible all of the actors were dull and uninteresting throughout the whole movie i felt as if the actors were not putting forth any emotions as if they were reading from the script the entire time tim roth who plays did not portray sense of adventure for his journey into the well journey to find was supposed to but i didn't experience that in the movie i would not recommend watching this movie especially if you have read the book already it does not come close to doing justice for joseph words capture the reader and take them on the journey with on his quest to find mr where as the film did not a great but a very poor film heart of darkness the movie is based on the book written by joseph conrad also called heart of darkness,negative
this review has been written by someone who has read it several times and knows what they are talking about firstly i have read others comments and noticed that some of the were really quite stupid people who have read the book and other jane or for that matter any good book will know that sticking to the book is vital you have to trust an author with what they do if the viewer does not like it because it sticks to the book well it shows they do not understand jane austen and obviously are not a true fan br br firstly if the viewer truly loved the book or jane austen in general watching it for four hours should not prove difficult secondly their society did care a lot for looks and so big fancy hair styles would show off how rich you were which in their day was a key factor for getting along in good society i have to confess the female costumes were not brilliant but there were only a few bad ones and the males made up for it also this prejudice for the naval men not in their uniform is in nice words very silly today people do not go out with their uniform away from school or work because they have casual clothes and it was just the same in the 19th century also as it goes the acting is very good it is subtle because that is how austen writes and the scene at the end is beautiful you can not compare the filming to that of the 1995 version as technology has improved so much since them it is ridiculous to compare them in that the actress who plays ann is too old but her air of acting and how she does it makes up for it br br people seem to prefer the 1995 version for some reason that i can not comprehend it does not stick to the book at all and so is flat the ending is sentimental they change major scenes the only good actors are the leads and they i give you did a good job for what was given to them obviously the people who really really like it are i am sorry stupid as they do not understand and so need it to be overdone the 1971 version is beautiful romantic was written by an excellent script writer same who did inspector morse had very good actors and really it is a film you can watch many times and during each you can be delighted with it,positive

this is easily the best cinematic version of william fiction that i've ever seen and i've seen several of the most prominent ones filmed in hometown of it really captures the feeling of and county intruder in the dust is not one of best novel but even if it is a cliché to say this it would be the crown jewel in any one else's career it beats lee's good but simplistic to kill a fifty feet into the ground i read that one in grade and that's exactly where it belongs two of most prominent characters play major parts in the film stevens and lucas stevens is probably the single most common character in all of fiction he's a lawyer and he works easily as a narrator because unlike many of his other characters stevens is a man of logic not emotion at least when he's older lucas may be the most prominent of all of black characters he plays a major part in one of out and out masterpieces go down unlike all of the other black folks in he refuses to bow down to any white man he has pride and many in the white population find that an quality in a black man one day lucas is found standing over a dead white man with a recently fired pistol in his possession most of and the surrounding areas don't see the need for a trial and everyone's pretty sure that will be before the over or at least the next day as the murder and arrest occurred on a sunday on the other hand declares his innocence and tries to get stevens to help him stevens refuses the case seems open and shut but his young nephew chick because lucas had helped him in the past is willing to help him now br br as far as i know no hollywood film of this period deals with racism as overtly as this one hollywood films rarely the black population but instead prefer to them to servant roles if you're an african american actor you might as well give up and accept that role as either the the maid the servant or the porter because that's the only way you'll work in intruder in the dust there is to be found one of the most memorable non porter roles a black actor ever had lucas and as i described above is no stereotypical character and might have been hard for audiences to accept even today black characters are usually simple magical and kind the recent hit far from heaven is a great example of that is kind of a jerk and he's very stubborn although he's perhaps a little less so here than he is in the novel he's not any kind of stereotype he's a complex human being plays extraordinarily well i haven't seen the film in a while but he also appears in robert 1955 film kiss me deadly as well as the cinematic adaptation of final novel the br br all the actors are great in the film i should also praise quickly claude jr who has the great role of chick the novel takes place from his point of view and he is the conventional hero of the picture is quite an actor he captures the character who also appears elsewhere in fiction for example events that happened a decade or more before he was born in the 1957 novel the town perfectly he would appear in another great role the next year in the underrated john ford film the only other film of clarence that i've seen is national quite a different picture than intruder in the dust his job here is exceptional i really have to credit him with capturing perfectly other famous adaptations are too melodramatic the long hot summer filmed in 1958 which i really like despite that or too cold tomorrow filmed in 1972 which i do not like that is a complete of the only other one that really does well according to its source material is douglas great 1958 filming of really a different sort of novel altogether angels 10 10,positive
review films they've been around since forever a few that pop to mind are the mexican devil movie night of the demons 2 the convent and of course cant blame somebody for trying to exploit a religious holy image and it around to make it scary if done right it works here comes the most recent addition to the sub genre simply titled the nun br br the story is about this group of girls that live in a catholic school in this school there's a nun who is particularly cruel to one of the girls the girls acting in self defense against the abusive nun accidentally kill her and then decide to bury her and tell no one fast forward 18 years later and the nun is back searching for revenge from those who killed her br br this movie was produced by brian fantastic factory you know the company that makes horror movies in spain need a reminder of the kind of movies that this company out well a small reminder darkness the werewolf hunt you get the picture about the only really good movie that this company has produced in my opinion was stuart thats it oh no wait i believe they also produced the excellent christian vehicle the but thats it so when i rented this movie i knew i wasn't going to watch anything that was mind good still with all that mental i was disappointed br br one of the only good things this movie has going for it is its slick look the movie has some nice cinematography it doesn't look like a cheap horror film the movies special effects were alright with the nun being able to travel through water well that was an image that it self for some cool fx moments that sometimes into cheesy territory but sometimes were cool enough to watch i that scene with the nun herself at people like a bucket of water its not a particularly deadly move but it made for a cool visual there's some gore here but not a lot of it one particular scene involving an elevator death was cool but sadly the movie hit its peak with that scene and it was only half way through after that nothing really cool happens and the movie into an incredible br br the movie just turns into the nun popping up every now and then to give us a boo scare she would kill someone and then cut we get back to the characters talking crap going through rooms opening doors you get the and i just personally hate it when a horror movie turns into that people opening doors and going into rooms boring and when the characters do talk its terrible dialog in one particularly stupid scene a character decides right out of the blue that the nun turns into flesh and blood whenever she is in the water so thats they way to go to try and kill her and everyone just says ok and they all elaborate this plan to kill the nun in a water tank now who gave that guy this info and why did the others just take it for granted who the hell knows but its scenes like that that make the movie look stupid br br and yet another thing that got in the way of my enjoyment of this film was the fact that they used spanish actors who have a very thick accent when they try to speak english its very hard to make out what the hell they are trying to say id prefer to have them be dubbed then try and figure out what they are saying and become frustrated the fact that this dvd has no english subtitles didn't help matters either br br so in conclusion this is a movie that has some slick visuals nice sound effects but a terrible terrible script i guess this just goes to show that you might have the biggest budget or the best special effects but if your movie has a bad script with terrible characters and situations that your audience cant connect with then you've still got a bad movie such was the case with the nun br br if you want to have some real fun with evil nuns rent any of the films i mentioned at the beginning of this review now as for the makers of this film they should go say ten and light fifty to their saint of choice to see if they'll be forgiven for making this terrible film br br rating 2 out of 5,negative
the is now the oldest film i've seen and it is also the first silent film i've seen i heard a lot of good things about this movie so i got the tape out at home and i watched it when it ended i just thought that this was a classic masterpiece the story is based on the real life russian you wouldn't think it but some of it was sad and disgusting sad being that the mother dies and the rolls down the and disgusting being they have to eat rotten meat with in it br br today it is still considered to be one of the best silent and russian films ever made i think that everyone should see it if they can find it you will be surprised at how good it is it's a must see classic 5 5,positive
the only good part of this movie was the ending you know the part of the movie where the lights come on and you leave to go home no no that may be a little harsh the dancing in the film was sensational but unfortunately that is where the plot ended as long as the cast was dancing and not talking the movie went along well as for debut not too bad but hopefully his next film will have a little more depth as for going to see the movie wait for the rental or tv do not make the same mistake i did and pay 8 50,negative
it's great to hear the 3 or so comments that point out what for women the title alone away any supposed women have in the media industry or society them to two dimensional cartoon caricatures of how men think women should behave it is a post modern moronic farce it might as well be called who stays at home and knows her br br on one hand it could actually be some sort of parody on the u k 's trash press representation of celebrities and the role they have in maintaining a society so women can stereotypes by acting like those stereotypes and own the image that has been created for them by desire that would be to ironic and clever i also sound like i should be it br br is simply too camp and over the top to be taken seriously just like an even cheaper cruella de she just needs some condescending yet at the same time self laugh to show off her true acting range oh she does right anyway it just about sums up whom this is aimed at either who think its an up roaring send up of proportions or people who think its finest actors stop watching this of a and get a life br br its utterly sexist and is of such low quality that maybe those who enjoy it think they are in on the joke do the actors really care or understand what they are its so to women and men they are not all self selfish football loving who think women are nothing but another to be put on display for the public it's so i am sure ms would easily stand up to them in her real life and twist them round her finger as so easily done in br br but of course its doesn't really matter i mean its only a t v programme after all so please let it stay it's dreadful and will only be looked back on in the same disbelief that cell block was so remembered for br br how did it come to exist it sure ain't subtle or complex it could only come from the same mind set who read magazine and think its alright to look at soft porn and do as many women who bow to their will and patriotic and racist comments whenever their football team wins it's totally crass,negative
1999 adaptation of park is far superior to this ostensibly slightly more faithful film the 1999 film is by many austen but i admire the job did in making park her own it may not be strictly jane park but at least it was well written beautifully shot and well acted by a superior cast i don't see how austen can be any happier with this 2007 version from and on masterpiece theatre the screenplay is together and down to boot the production values are lackluster and the cast apart from redgrave and blake are largely guilty of bad acting i can't think of a worst miscast than as price her look was all wrong hair and dark and her talent simply wasn't suited to the material sir thomas looked the whole time michelle ryan as was on as were the actors who portrayed the when i think how superior and were in the version i just kinda shake my head br br i haven't seen the 1983 version so i can't comment on it but i'd advise anyone who's curious to give the version a chance read the novel before or after and make up your own mind,negative
do not be this is not a zombie movie take it from a guy who loves zombie movies and who them all the good and the horrendous yes this movie has an extended zombie sequence but it's basically an artsy exercise in dread which is a long way of saying it's boring if you've worked hard all day and want to spend a couple of hours being entertained rent something else br br rise of the undead has cheap special effects mediocre acting and crummy dialogue all of that is understandable in an indie low budget film and i can forgive such flaws as long as a movie has an entertaining story to tell unfortunately rise of the undead hardly has any story at all moreover the acting is not laughably bad so much as non existent all of the actors seem to have studied at the buster keaton school of wooden faces would it have killed them to show some emotion and no yelling does not with the one character who actually had some was killed off first granted there was another character who briefly held my interest he looked and acted like kyle norman bates but it was too little too late br br the filmmakers seemed to have forgotten a tiny detail film is a visual medium that means lighting your scenes well enough for the viewer to actually view what's going on and all those artsy jump cuts and close ups might have seemed cool at the time but all they did was make watching the film jarring and confusing there is nothing wrong with telling a story in a simple clear fashion just look at george romero's low budget night of the living dead to see how it's done superbly and i know these folks had a small budget but if you can't hire the equipment and necessary to actually make the dialogue then just go ahead and make a silent movie then those buster keaton wooden faces might actually work br br i will say this for the film the zombies were creepy unlike most zombie movies where the undead are shown in all their glory the the better the zombies here were just bloody faced people it actually worked to make them more like us and therefore scarier that's the reason i gave this movie 2 stars instead of 1 br br the sad part about all this is that despite all of its flaws rise of the undead does not insult your intelligence the filmmakers seemed to have actually wanted to make a smart scary original movie and it's a shame that they failed so miserably if they could just the too fancy editing buy a few extra up the dialogue and come up with a real story that actually goes somewhere then i think they have the talent to make something really good br br trust me do not waste your time on rise of the undead,negative
one of the most charming and for me at least the most powerful elements of anthony enthralling best picture winner the english patient is that in the mid 90s when hollywood was in the initial stage of having lost its nerve for grand new projects a film was created that brought back powerful the sweeping wonderful that crafted movies such as lawrence of and the ten 1956 the english patient contains very much of what made those films so powerful it has that glorious feeling a stretched running time that hardly seems long at all and fascinating characters with and stories br br the english patient based on a novel by the same name by michael is like the godfather part ii 1974 in the sense of how it's constructed it's a of two stories the past and the present and it all revolves around the titular character an english patient in the post years of world war two ralph plays the english patient who has been for life by a plane crash and being taken care of in an isolated church by a single nurse played by juliette apart from bonding with her voiced troubled patient comes to learn about his past when a stranger willem dafoe arrives and the two men appear to know each other br br that's just one of the two beautifully crafted stories that shape this film the other one told in flashback is the past before he was and dying in a bed the story of the present mixed with the past and his love affair that changed his life forever br br to be blunt the english patient is a love story with a sweeping epic sensation and it what i really admired about the love story between ralph and scott thomas was how passionate how obsessive how enchanting it was shown on screen usually in love stories such as later cold mountain 2003 the romantic elements seem far more than obsessive to me some of the love scenes feature elements that may tend to be associated more with lust than love but still because it is so well developed and not rushed and not exploited out of we can believe that there is a sure true love between these characters it reminded me a lot of vertigo 1958 in how well the filmmakers and performers convinced us that these were two actual human beings who truly fell in love with each other br br performances all around were great i was especially enthralled by the performance by juliette who took home the oscar for her performance the following year i also liked willem dafoe playing the sort of cynical questionable character that he's always quintessential at playing and of course i can't leave out and scott thomas and their portrayals of two very passionate lovers br br despite my enormous enthusiasm for this epic i would be if i were to describe it as a perfect film there are two flaws that i cannot glance over number one it is a little too long and the reason for this is my second complaint there are a few unnecessary subplots i was not enchanted or particularly interested with the second love story between and a bomb played by andrews my research has led me to assume that this plot element comes from the original book and i'm sure it worked perfectly in there but in the film it just seems a and the relationship between the two characters didn't me i was far more interested by character and his relationships with his two leading actresses br br nevertheless these two flaws are easily forgivable even if they do slow things down a bit those put aside the english patient is an extraordinary achievement of film making to me it was sort of like an insane mix up between casablanca 1942 and lawrence of two remarkable and better films and this effective blend proved to be well worth my time it is a real shame that anthony has left us for he was a truly gifted filmmaker this is all the evidence anybody needs,positive

i was like an idiot during the last ten minutes of this exceptional piece of television i have to say that the idea of sitting down to view 90 minutes of what was bound to be pretty depressing material on a sunday was not a welcome one the thought of yet another over worthy winning possibility did not me however the end result knocked me for 6 this is some of the best television i have seen in ages for years i was under the impression that all originality had left the drama department our friends in the north was the last production that truly blew me away and that was 10 years ago however faith is restored and honour is satisfied david tenant was incredible so many actors i can think of would have really gone to town on a part like this but never once did i see mr tenant as an actor or as the doctor all i saw was alan hamilton i haven't had my heart this much since daniel performance as all those years ago sarah was also incredible and i really hope this role brings her better roles in the future all of the cast were great but special mention must go to the director who really placed us inside head the scene in particular made me feel quite,positive
i am currently 22 years old and remember seeing this movie in the theatres when it first came out you heard me right i was 5 years old and yet i can still distinctly remember what i saw that afternoon so many years ago was it a mystical trip through the fantastic world of mark creativity no on the other hand it was a quite creepy film about mark dark depressed and in fact side one scene that still bothers me was a particularly strange scene in which mark is playing the at his own funeral br br would an adult enjoy this film well this movie quite possibly features some interesting that a person with a working knowledge of mark writing might enjoy but trust me on this adventures is not the film you want to use to introduce your young children to mark,negative
well it is a from the period of the when poverty row studios put out a good many horror films that are almost dull so i was expecting the worst br br the story concerns a doctor who has been working on a way to life to the dead through the use of a room full of non devices which spark nicely there is a heart hanging under a bell jar and which we are informed is proof that his method is br br a brief discussion of the and mention of an important plot point the inevitable death of a young man who is in a rather sequence even with the sparks the important plot point is that a convicted murderer is being executed just at midnight which turns out to be exactly when the young man is it is no surprise that the young man is very different after his experience apparently and with a strange desire to visit the of the underworld and become with certain gangsters br br it's hard to explain why this all is not completely unwatchable but perhaps it to say that it's mildly interesting and contains several murders and a couple of interesting characters towards the end it even begins to move along with a bit of real tension and a confrontation that is downright spoiler br br i have to warn of a very very bad ending a on unnecessary pain in the ass sorta ending after the plot rather effectively br br you know the sort of thing it's all a dream never happened,negative
murder by numbers is one of those movies that you expect is made for tv but isn't considering the only actor of any note is although michael pitt seems to be moving onto bigger and better things it isn't a great surprise that this movie quickly fades away from memory to be replaced by more important things like remembering to lock your front door when you go out or putting clothes back on when you come out of the shower br br plays cassie a cop with personal issues don't they all together with her new partner a wet looking ben chaplin she is called to investigate the murder of a young woman nothing unusual there except that the are a couple of teenage students who think they've planned and executed the perfect murder as the investigation continues a battle of emerges between cassie and the main suspect ryan br br the issue here is that the two leads are hopeless though she is very nice to look at is about as believable in the role of a hardened cynical cop as rodney actually he'd be better chaplin for his sins is a complete non and i feel sorry that he has to put this film on his in his attempt to break into hollywood at least and pitt as the conniving suspects themselves adequately as if dodgy leads weren't bad enough a story that would send anybody to sleep and a highly predictable but illogical ending shoot this film in the head before it has a chance to run br br murder by numbers has absolutely nothing going for it even a pointless nude scene by wouldn't redeem it well just a little but still not enough to save it forgettable predictable and redundant this is one film that isn't going to move the cop genre forward as cassie probably says on her next case there's nothing to see here people move along keep moving,negative
or safe journey is the second film in tony trilogy of the people the film is a visual depiction and historical record of life in european and middle eastern countries even though the scenes are mostly planned and staged there is not a conventional story line and the dialog does not explain activities from scene to scene instead the film allows the viewer to have sometimes a glimpse sometimes a more in depth view of these people during different and in different countries ranging from india egypt romania france and spain br br the importance of music in culture is clearly expressed throughout the film it is a vital part of every event and an important means of communication everything they do is expressed with music dance is another important activity like music it is and deeply personal something they alone know how to do correctly we are provided glimpses into their everyday activities but the film is not a detailed study of their lives rather it is a testament to their culture focusing on the music and dance they have created and which have made them unique br br mr portrays the groups in a positive way however we also witness the and alienation they receive from the non population it seems that the culture they have developed over countless generations and inspired from diverse countries will fade into oblivion because conventional society has no place for ways br br the other films in the trilogy are les 1983 and 1998,positive
this movie is well done it really attempts to show what the dinosaurs had to with in their daily lives the animation is very well done and the film makers have done a great job of giving scientific fact in such a way that it is entertaining this is a great movie,positive
i don't know if this type of movie was as cliché then as it seems to be now br br considering how many bad news bears films had already been released by 1980 however i think that this sort of movie was already a tired idea br br a former football player is partially in vietnam and is confined to a wheelchair the chicago bears offer him a job but he wants to coach at the same time his nephew is picked up for armed robbery we are told that he has already been arrested over a dozen times before and he must now serve some hard time which turns out to be less than a year br br of course the kid is actually a good kid who only needs a tough male role model in his life the same goes for all of the kids in the facility yes even the one locked up for attempted murder i'm sure you already know what happens so i'll try and keep the rest of this brief br br our protagonist becomes the coach of the kids' football team he the cynicism and earns their respect his team faces off against a local high school team yeah right and they get their kicked now determined more than ever to prove himself a worthy coach he demands a will these kids with hearts of gold be able to improve enough to win the awful execution of the football sequences ruins any possibility of excitement in this film coach of the year should get for my brain 1 10,negative
the title although will undoubtedly remind real horror fans of immortal classic about a of circus freaks and how they were misunderstood by the outside world i can assure you however that this thing has absolutely nothing to do with freaks or even with the art of professional film making in general this movie was recommended to me supposedly because it's raw disturbing and thought provoking despite the low budget production values yeah the person who recommended it to me may now consider himself to be my personal the low budget factor is correct but that about sums it up freak is dreadfully slow poorly made and every character that gets introduced is downright that includes the freak too two siblings on their way to a new life encounter a mental patient who escaped from the transport truck to another hospital and heads back to the house where he killed his mother at age 9 this could have been an interesting slasher with good isolated filming locations but instead tyler decided to make it boring and pointless family drama the lead attempts to look emotionally are pretty laughable and the total lack of suspense and action can hardly be blamed to the limited budget total failure,negative

four or five episodes of and his flying robot edited together amusing giant robot battling giant monsters tale aimed at kids parents of course will go crazy since the action is violent with the robot monster battles resembling professional wrestling and the human on human violence the sort of stuff you'd find in the al st day school and gangster training academy i liked it but then again i grew up on the series if there is any problems other than the men in suits effects variety is that the movie plays like a series of episodes together with a climax coming every 20 minutes recommended for those who've run out of or godzilla,positive
this film is a great rampage of action and comedy it gets right in to it right from the start there's no boring build up the chemistry of the leading roles adds to the excitement and anticipation of the ending even though my were not satisfied the special effects worked brilliantly and were believable would have liked a different ending but it still had me in emotions the story line unfolds well however it is a film you have to watch from start to end carefully to pick up on all the details to fully understand and get maximum enjoyment br br,positive
mark in a great role a rock star to the extent of knowing all his songs imitating him to perfection and dressing like him when the opportunity comes for him to take over his role in the band he jumps at the opportunity however the role of a rock star may not be what it is up to be and relationships can change this movie certainly struck me as having the theme of what you for may not be what you think it is once you get it overall a really good movie with great performances from all the cast as well as the two leads mark and jennifer aniston it did make me feel sad especially when emily jennifer aniston met up with chris in seattle and saw the depths to what he had sunk if anybody ever of being a rock star or a they should watch this movie to see that the lifestyle although for a while is very lonely and ultimately not what you may want,positive
i've been watching buffy the vampire and really didn't begin to love the show until season 4 started this episode was view by me alone in the dark just after midnight with my windows open and the wind blowing through by an after storm the writers of this episode did an excellent job the heck out of me i was in awe the entire episode which i just finished 2 minutes ago amazing doesn't touch the surface of what this episode with almost no dialogue if you've never given this show much thought at least watch this episode if this doesn't impress you then no episode probably will br br btw my heart is still racing,positive
never been gives drew barrymore the chance to do something that maybe 70 of us would like to do go back to high school and make some necessary actually the first time for me was bad enough and at my age i doubt i could pull it off the way drew does br br of course the reason could also be that once we leave high school it's like leaving a and we have to deal with the great big world out there i've known a few in my life who would go back and stay if they could in fact there is a law and order episode which explores the dark side of this same situation a girl looking young enough to pull it off goes through high school at least three times and kills the person who stumbles on her secret br br with drew though it's an assignment she's a copy editor for the chicago sun times who to be a reporter marshall who plays the part like donald took over the sun times gets this brilliant idea and just sees in barrymore a young enough looking person to pull off the br br high school the first time was bad enough drew was not the most popular then and she's not doing better the second time around that is until brother david arquette also goes back to school and helps her over the rough br br of course this raises a whole lot of issues for drew pressure from two sources job and school what's a girl to do br br never been is a light and charming comedy which to its credit over the opportunity to be and gives us some good entertainment drew is very funny and sweet and her performance in moments of stress for her character moves nicely into pathos michael as her english teacher is the kind i wish there were more of in the education field and and jessica alba play a pair of the empty headed cool kids that drew tries so desperately to hook up with br br still it doesn't inspire me to return to high school,positive
i found this movie at the flea market for cheap i was so because i thought it was a movie i got home put it on the previews rules and the opening scene with the old guy rolling down the street on the was awesome at that moment i realized it was a post apocalyptic movie but i still had high hopes for it this movie was awful a friend of mine was stoned out of his mind when we watched it and even he thought it was horrible and a waste of being high i kept falling asleep during the movie because it was so boring and the music was utterly awful i don't know if during the apocalypse all the good music and all the music that is only kind of crappy is destroyed and memory of how to play it is wiped clean but i think i would rather die than have to endure that crap also what the hell was up with the tv studio i can only assume that this movie was adapted from an old greek play with the names and title but some plays are not meant to be adapted into a futuristic sci fi setting or at least not by the people who were involved with this movie if you are forced to watch this movie i can only suggest bringing a hand gun and finishing yourself off before the end it would be a good movie to kill yourself too everyone will understand why,negative
lang does as well as does in the first part of this extraordinary western before down into typical dark and guilt haunted lang for the finale br br this is one of those films that shows its greatness almost instantly but at the same time very subtly vance shaw randolph scott is on and being pursued we know not why he stumbles on wounded edward dean jagger and decides to take his gun and horse but discovering that is in a bad way decides to fix him up first this is conveyed mostly through facial expressions and very brief dialog in 2 minutes we know that shaw is an outlaw but basically a good guy shaw ends up helping on his way to civilization then disappears br br cut to a few weeks or months later with on the and in charge of an expedition to lay wire going west from he hires shaw as a who tries to leave when he finds out that is in charge but wants him anyway a debt and something quality also hired is a son of a of the project but the richard blake robert young is quite competent as he shows right away in an amusing but exciting sequence both of the hires for sister sue virginia who again not typically seems quite as able to take care of herself as any man the between the three men the comedic elements involving an unwilling cook and various rough and types and the wonderfully played light romantic elements dominate the first third of the film and reminded me more of howard red river or only angels have wings than most lang but they are so well played and the action progresses so naturally that it doesn't matter and doesn't alter our pleasure if it does perhaps change our expectations as the more usual themes of the haunted past dark secrets and the immense pull of the easier destructive and evil ways come to dominate the later part of the film old pals come back to haunt him as the the train and its move attacks on the crew and shaw has to with what if anything he is to tell about his tortured relationship with jack barton leader of the br br beautifully shot in early technicolor and moving fairly from sound stages to western locations this is for my money easily best western and one of his very best films conveying as as any of his films the tragic inability of men to escape their and build a new future scott is as good as i've seen him showing more with a flick of an eye than a lot of actors can do in a paragraph of dialog and the rest of the cast is uniformly fine the inevitable showdown between past criminal life and his potential future is extraordinary and a surprise even for a longtime lang such as myself and even in 1941 it seems there was no place more with meaning on the of civilization than the and the dusty street outside you can get a you can feel like a new man but you can't really ever be one as long as the old ties are still holding you back br br genius,positive
mom should really be given a different title to it from all the other movies out there called mom or with the word mom in the title br br this is a vastly superior zombie movie to so much of the rubbish that gets out time after time and all end up much the same as every other zombie movie out there br br it is so different and refreshing it almost defies br br the kind old lady who takes in a creepy who just happens to be a flesh eater who then the old lady who also turns into a flesh eating zombie or quite which exactly is not defined br br there is pathos in the story as her son realises what she has become and while at first horrified attempts to help her by i shall say no more about that for fear of a spoiler it is one of those movies as opposed to guns explosions raging car chases etc boring etc that makes so many movies all the same rubbish but still with enough gory moments to satisfy horror fans whilst also sadness into the story along with nice touches of humour as opposed to downright silliness of some so called movies br br there is a particularly nice atmospheric shot at the beginning of the film where the old lady is sitting alone in her room with only her christmas tree for company and looks so but what she becomes oh my br br a gem of a movie and even if not your thing should at least be viewed if only once by any true horror fan,positive
x is a beautiful adaption of herman or the the comments on here surprise me it makes me wonder what has led to the negative reaction br br the shock value is the least appealing thing about this film a minor detail that has been blown out of the story is of downfall and the subsequent destruction of those around him which is overtly demonstrated in his features and the dialogue and soundtrack set this film apart from any other i have seen and turn a traditional storyline with controversial twists into an emotional epic br br i can't stress enough the importance of everything you have heard about this film and watching as i did with an open mind you will i hope be rewarded in the same way that i was i felt on edge and nervous from around the half hour mark however the film is far from scary in any traditional sense it will leave you with 1 000 thoughts each of them at once and thrilling i know i'm here but i feel the need to make up for the negative perception of this film it's the best i've seen all year,positive
anthony mann made westerns with 'the big james stewart gary cooper henry fonda the a list cowboy stars but in this b film he something notably different and had quite a bit of success with what turned out to be a truly one of a kind western the main character played by victor mature is a mountain man and they are in films robert redford in johnson that sort of thing where the hero is not in fact a typical mountain man but a clean cut heroic figure who hangs out with real mountain men not here for once a true mountain man vulgar crude is the central figure and it's something to see giving mature one of his better later roles the real acting chops are provided by robert preston excellent as a self absorbed type commander and james the poor man's spencer tracy as another of those old who feel themselves trapped between ever more hostile indians on the one side and the force of civilization on the other even more impressive is a very young anne as the wife who is initially by the very sight of grisly character then finds her own of civilization away as she begins to realize to her own shock that she's attracted to him rarely if ever has a remote frontier been so accurately realized on screen without the romantic that john ford gave such a place in his masterful the battle sequences are big scale and notably violent and particularly impressive if you seen them in widescreen format good show and underrated movie all around,positive
this movie starts out with this creepy song that gave me some chills like the song used in nightmare on it immediately sets the mood the sequence that follows also shows what to expect we are made aware that a ghost is present the mystery concerning this ghost is what keeps this movie together but the structure of the plot is so complex that it is difficult to make sense of it the ideas behind the plot are quite interesting only the way it is told to us is far too abstract i understand that the director believed that he had to maintain the mystery as long as possible the problem is that when certain matters get revealed you never get a satisfying explanation the motives of the important characters are left out and some questions raised in the movie don't get answered at all since we don't learn enough about the characters it becomes hard to care for them and as a consequence you will loose interest only some scares and a twist save this movie from becoming a total failure the twist is interesting but no real shocker the experienced viewer will see it coming some reviewers complain that this movie is too much like and is not original at all well it is true that some of the effects and scares are borrowed from that movie but there is a main difference the suspense in mainly was based on this one twist where the viewer finds out how the characters get killed in the like twist is used as a creepy effect to another crazy twist heavily depends on a complex structured plot and twist that doesn't contain enough scares to hold your interest simply put this isn't a scary movie,negative
this movie is a nonsense spoof comedy in the lines of the airplane or naked gun but it doesn't even come close to this two because it lacks originality and a little more intelligent jokes rather then just throwing you with the same old easy jokes br br you can figure out some references to other movies from the top of my head i identified and rocky so you can have some fun with that trying to find out what movies are br br the movie also offers you an occasional laugh but nothing that can cause you thus nothing really funny br br i liked the character in some ways even though some of the jokes with him are standard comedy 101 br br i think this movie and like most of nonsense spoof comedy depends on the mood you are in so if you think you will laugh to any joke watch this movie if you are in a serious mood forget about this re watch the airplane instead it will definitely make you laugh,negative
i just recently stumbled upon this show when abc family had an all day marathon before season 2 premiered i remember seeing previews for the show back in 2007 and thought it would be short lived and not very well written because it was on abc family br br never doubt an abc family show this show surprised me in the best way possible not only is the show well written story lines are realistic funny and enjoyable i was expecting a lot of talk about relationships something like this guy dated that girl who dumped me for that kid etc but this show is anything but the characters are appealing and you really feel a connection between them all there is a lot of chemistry between the actors and they can really make you feel like the stuff is happening right before your eyes br br don't doubt this show it is truly enjoyable to watch and get hooked on,positive
having had more than a few mates suggest i check rise of the out i eventually got round to it last night undoubtedly the story has to tell and did so in his autobiography is a compelling tale of one mans from boot boy to connected underworld villain this film sadly in quality by appalling accents and acting in the lead role of does a reasonable job of conveying the transition from to serious criminal but his accent is all over the place as his voice provides the stories narration it is something that after ten minutes was driving me nuts terry stone as tony tucker provided the unintentional comedy with an ill fitting wig or the worst going dialogue that was so it on juvenile and an over the top in line delivery tucker to parody what troubled me most about this film was that the events leading up to the shooting in and the years of are of genuine interest to crime fans and fans of football so to have this story by a lack of credible accents and acting left me feeling an opportunity had been missed and frank provide the films only source of authenticity on the positive side some of the films pacing and well and kept the attention the violence was well choreographed and aside from an over on red for blood was on the whole realistic if you enjoyed the film then it is worth checking out boys telling a similar tale from viewpoint and also featuring billy murray,negative

after i first saw this i thought wow this is the most spectacular movie visually speaking i've ever seen since that time i've seen some that topped it but it still ranks as one of the best in that department i'm just disgusted the long dvd was so poorly done the quality of this transfer hardly better than the vhs tape br br the jungle scenes are filmed in and lush is the best to describe what you see except for jungle sounds seeing is certainly almost everything in the beginning as there is almost no hearing no dialog until tarzan christopher befriends ian and vice versa so be ready for that if you haven't watched this film br br story wise all i'll say is this is not the tarzan many of us came to know in johnny films but that's not a complaint for those action and don't care about cinematography as i do you just have to get past that silent introduction period br br in this tarzan version our hero goes back to scotland his roots to that environment for the most part and a little too quickly for credibility frankly and then returns to the jungle without jane this is supposedly more true to the tarzan books written by edgar rice br br the special effects in here were done by rick baker one of the best in the business sharp dvd or not this is still a stunning film to view and very interesting throughout its 2 hours and 15 minutes,positive
lubitsch gave us wonderful films like design for living the shop around the corner to be or not to be and other wonderful films but people usually put wife as one of weakest films br br but i consider this film as an important film this film began the collaboration of charles and billy wilder charles billy wilder and walter wrote the screenplay for of course lubitsch worked with writers in the scripting process after that charles and billy wilder worked together they together wrote the screenplay for famous films like the lost weekend and sunset br br there are lots of funny moments in the film i thought the of the was very funny there is a famous expression called films are of life and here is a great example from wife 1938 br br at the first session of the scripting process lubitsch this question how do the boy and girl get together billy wilder promptly suggested that the opening scene should be the men's shop of a department store the boy is trying to buy a he but he sleeps only in the tops he is so he insists on buying only the tops the clerk says he must buy the pants too it looks like a catastrophe then the girl comes into the shop and buys the pants because she sleeps only in the pants lubitsch and charles were enchanted it wasn't till months later they discovered that billy wilder himself is a tops only sleeper and that he had been the idea for months waiting for a chance to use it br br i got this information from a book i think this film can be considered as the return of lubitsch right after this film he made wonderful films like the shop around the corner and to be or not to be br br i thought gary performance was good i think lubitsch casted gary cooper probably because gary cooper played long fellow deeds who inherited the fortune in frank mr deeds goes to town but this is just my opinion br br as for me i highly enjoyed the film i rate this film 9 out of 10 lubitsch films are different because his films are of life,positive

we're both stumbling around together in this world whose rules and are largely unknown seemingly or even possibly nonexistent always on the verge of being killed by forces that we don't understand so says ted in the film which for some people sums up life and probably is a film about existence what is real and what is unreal and how you tell the difference or not the last line of the film is superbly ambiguous br br the film seems like a shaggy dog story indeed it has a real shaggy dog in it but it takes you along on an interesting ride full of provocative touches that will make you look at game fish and bones in a new light some bits are quite it takes place in a rural setting where the gas station is called and a chinese restaurant is called restaurant 'the film has an engrossing that is away from your usual big budget science fiction movie you can read many things into the film and it watching more than once br br the main actors are jude law who is ok and jennifer jason leigh who is great some roles don't suit this very talented actor but when she has a good role like this she is her unconventional beauty and fascinating voice suits the part of looks great in a short black too there are other familiar actors but they are not given much to do it looks good sounds good and a howard shore score the film very well is possibly the alfred hitchcock of the sci fi horror genre no matter what film he makes he is always worth watching,positive
so much for judge and jury which lives up to its nonsense title what good is there the lighting is terribly another horror movie you ask well that's perfectly david keith actually does pretty good at and other while being the killer who escaped death row but overall despite some new twists it's reasonably stupid has been putting out some ludicrous productions recently and this one only means so much we the jury find this film guilty for its exposure to many of us sitting around believing it's a total waste of our time,negative
i usually give sequels the benefit of the doubt and go easy on them but very poor the exact same as what happened in the first film happens here again the exact same only they wanted younger kids to be able see it this accounts for the repeated presence of bugs bunny but why they threw in one is beyond me br br they didn't even bother to change jackie character from let me explain in rodney played a real estate owner who the uptight members of country club in this movie jackie mason plays a real estate owner who the uptight members of country club a big effort they made to change the content of the script huh no i don't think so a very unfunny dan copies bill character he even goes after the now more like a in much the same fashion as murray did br br there is not a laugh to be had a of the in this film jackie mason is getting ready for a hot date with cannon he is in the bathroom is his he moves to the door to get dressed in his bedroom door handle breaks off wow that's the best they can do eight years to think of a completely new sequel and that's all we get i could have pulled a better script out of my ass br br see it only if you're a die hard fan of the original it's the only way you'll find any kind of laughs in it everyone else steer clear,negative

i was at the of the movie last night in rome i am not an expert in the book however there are a great deal of changes from the book to the movie the pacing of this movie is much faster than the code many things were otherwise this would be a 4 hour movie many things were also changed to give the movie a fast pace i think what matters is the feel of the movie and that works well for hanks brown and company br br there are some things in the book that would appear very implausible in the movie form i am not giving any spoilers except to say the ending of the movie is handled in a slightly different way how was found is also different those who see the movie might be interested in reading the book to get the full details of the story some minor details are are also cut from the movie br br although they did film in rome they had to recreate interior shots since i went on a walking tour of rome the day before the movie i can say that the interior sites are authentic in look and feel is not in the movie and not much is shown about hanks does a good job and there are some interesting scenes involving the of course they had no access to that area and i am not sure if anyone actually knows what the look like has her break in this movie as victoria and does a good job as eye candy for hanks br br this movie should be received better by the critics and public but you never know ron howard mentioned several times in interviews and as we saw him and the cast before the movie that this is just a movie,positive

despite the title and unlike some other stories about love and war this film isn't too and pink because love is as a rose with that is the four leading actors set their characters realistic and with a good sense and balance between the tragic and the down to earth br br the music and lyrics of the esquire songs sung b knightley herself drag the viewer deeper and deeper in the film from one place to another between the brutal war and amongst the peaceful love some people may find it too much a biopic but it mostly a romantic story even though it consequently follows the life of dylan thomas and the relationship which is by joy and jealousy br br london gets from another angle for once the life of dylan during the of the germans is set in a floating atmosphere of small and bars the independent women the soldier and the charismatic poet are constantly swept in both feelings of love and anger br br maybe the end is too twisted and hangs somewhat loosely to the rest of the film but all in all this is a great romantic story,positive
it takes an eternity for this typically over simplistic and idiotic stephen king based film to finally get out of the starting about half an hour is spent on needless to various boring characters and their irrelevant little personal problems that might bored and in dramas but this is supposed to be the horror genre or so i thought the fails to look all that which leonard the clueless hopeless and always film critic would disagree with he considers to be genuinely frightening i often do have to wonder if is genuinely thick or merely likes to do for his hollywood friends it's both illogical and inconsistent the way wallace survives an attack with only a leg injury and naturally her car breaks down just when she needs it to save her life this is one of the oldest horror film clichés trust king to use it to minimum effect the premise is too banal even for a horror film a attacks a family is that it this sort of thing barely a 3 minute sub sub plot in your average zombie film i think even must have that he was starring in a turkey have terrible agents but what i really don't understand is how people can actually throw themselves at the book and read it from cover to cover these fans must be immortal that's the only explanation i e why they treat time as such a meaningless br br 3,negative
i've never seen a bollywood film before but i caught the first ten minutes of this laughed myself silly and hit the r button on sky i'm glad i did i hope i don't insult anybody because basically the and i loved it but we couldn't take it half as seriously as the actors did especially the obsessed one who i understand is a huge bollywood star because we've seen him on the cover of lots of dvds since and i even saw a doll of him today in the keeps on about this bloke i am beginning to think he's obsessed he keeps saying that it's strange for the good looking one to be the anti hero of a film but then we do like films that aren't your stock predictable hollywood fare br br it was completely over the top but really good fun if all bollywood films are like this then we're watching more i have had that song in my head all week and i can't speak a word of hindi ps any would be appreciated,positive
some aspects of this production are good such as the performances of angela lansbury george and but am i the only one who is distracted by the horrible performance by as she is terrible she the songs with her voice and overacts in a role she clearly doesn't understand i also think the chorus isn't up to snuff they drag the and make the worst facial expressions overall i think this production is okay but todd can be so much more if done correctly this production doesn't come near the level this material demands the concert version with george and is much better,negative
o dear god i suffered having to watch this film four times in my sisters house and was it dreadful a story of sex and guns and very cheap unexplained acting unless you are at being told to watch this avoid it rule just proved he cannot act also gave the most dreadful acting ever in any of his films there was not one part of this film made me laugh or make me jump or feel any emotion i would be surprised people actually enjoyed this i have seem some dreadful films in my life but this would be in my five worst films ever the music in it wasn't good and the storyline i think was made up by a couple of guys who ordered a pizza and just sat down wrote ten bullet points and then made it into a film absolutely dreadful,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
tom was my brother so i went to see the movie and i never looked at it again in all these years sorry it was bad i'm told i have to write 10 lines so i'll put a little trivia in tom and were to be introduced in this picture and tom was told to take to the premiere but tom said no he was going with joan collins and he did and because he did only was introduced i found this very funny back then and still do the movie while the concept was a funny one and the actors in it were impressive but some how it just come out funny the continuity was abstract at best it was like i was watching 2 different movies at the same time each running into the other sorry bob,negative

john wayne is without a doubt one of the most popular and loved actors of all time his career stretched over forty years and within that time he starred in films such as angel and the the green of bravo north to and the br br the film's listed above are as some of his best unlike this 1934 effort randy rides alone which has been pretty much forgotten about as gone on which is as it's nothing memorable apart from its very short running time of just minutes br br a young john wayne plays randy who for reasons never really explained arrives at a saloon in the middle of nowhere and finds that everyone inside has been killed while looking around a arrives and finds randy there and they arrest him him of being a gang member and demand to know where the rest of his gang is he is put in jail accused of the murders sally rogers whose uncle owned the saloon and was murdered arrives at the jail to see randy in order to that he was one of the gang members she was hiding in a secret room when the shooting took place sally doesn't believe that randy is a killer and doesn't him so while the sheriff is out she slips him the keys and randy escapes while running away from the sheriff and his randy conveniently stumbles into the in a cave who were responsible for the murders randy sets out to clear his name and also to bring the gang to justice br br randy rides alone can be a fun film to watch especially if you're a john wayne fan but at the same time it has far too many flaws that are impossible to ignore the film is also extremely dated as you would expect we have the terrible camera shooting which makes everyone look like they are moving in super fast motion and the dialogue is terrible the acting isn't great either and wayne's character is very wooden and he along with the rest of the cast look like wooden puppets who are being by someone in this case it's by director harry harry is at the and does a good enough job but the story is paper thin one can't help but feel that about ten minutes is missing from the start of the film as randy just arrives out of nowhere at the saloon and is looking to meet someone an explanation on why randy was there is giving later on which turns out to be something like he is a p i who was sent to investigate the claims that someone is trying to take over the town to be honest i didn't really pick it up most of the time i was hoping for the movie to end br br but that being said i didn't find this film to be completely terrible i enjoyed some of it and found it to be quite fun at times but it really isn't a great film and isn't really worth watching or tracking down br br overall randy rides alone is incredibly dated and is a tiresome western with very few redeeming qualities can be fun but overall it isn't a great movie and is certainly one of wayne's weaker,negative
weird this is a tv movie yet the rating on the box says it's rated r there's nothing in the movie that would remotely qualify for an r rating aside from that though the movie is very slow and pointless i mean the idea was good but nothing was done with the storyline it just wasn't developed it's mildly creepy and the acting is actually quite good better than the movie deserves i don't see myself watching it again anytime soon if ever there have been other movies dealing with the same concept which are better made than this one i haven't seen too many wes craven films so i can't really compare it to any of his others as for this movie itself though i think it is poorly conceived and poorly executed for me i can't give a higher rating than 3 10,negative
despite the fact that this was a made for tv movie and an obvious one at that ie cheap looking class left me wishing i could get my money back and considering this lame production was partially through canadian dollars i might just be entitled br br what made me sit through it in the first place was seeing actress lindsey who i've watched for the last couple years in her role as lewis on the soap opera light taking a turn at playing the bad girl for a change br br surprisingly she does quite well as a spoiled rich b who suddenly finds herself dirt poor but with a conniving streak and a twist of fate that will possibly change her back around the twist of fate is provided in the character of richard robin dunne a socially radical who discovers that he has just gone from having nothing to winning 23 million on a ticket now put richard her jock boyfriend jason carpenter and their camcorder obsessed mutual buddy graham dave together for the weekend in a remote cabin cut off from the world by and just guess what unfolds br br the film suffers from both the story and and motives too much everyone is pretty one dimensional and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that some things and some people are going to go very bad very quickly i don't think this is that original a plot and it doesn't go out of it's way to make itself anything more the acting is ok is spot on as the manipulative female lead and dunne is very good perhaps a little too good at times but no one else is worth writing home about the only other real credit i can give the film is the one twist i didn't see coming towards the end not the very end though that one is so obvious it hurts regardless i sat through all of it and lived to tell the tale so i can't say it was a complete write off br br 4 10 a something to watch when nothing else is on type movie,negative
in short this movie was awful br br i understand it's a disney movie which are generally shallow movies with mediocre plots and bad acting however i must say this is the worst of all disney movies with bad acting lots of irritating teen girls my god and an extremely unrealistic plot even as a 12 year old there is no way i would have liked this movie the only way this movie could have been any worse is if they attempted to put it in theaters or tried to sell it in a local video store br br do yourself a favor and change the channel before watching this no matter how bored you are on a sunday afternoon,negative

this is a good film no doubt but with some odd aspects without spoiling anything it takes place in 3 places only a farm the boat and island new york all shots are close up so we never see a broad of anything i wonder if this was to save money no street scenes anywhere and we don't even see the boat except in close ups and the music what on earth was going on with playing nina songs decades before they were out i could have done without the milk river business too but hey before you think of me as a pure let me repeat this is a very good film with moments wonderful photography great characters and more accuracy than the usual american efforts at the experience,positive
despite all of the comparisons to house of frankenstein this movie its predecessor and is one of the monster movies in the universal monsters series and sadly the last o k so it doesn't exactly stack up to something like the bride of frankenstein as one a classic to by fans of all movies but with a cast of dracula the wolf man and monster what no mummy you can't help but enjoy this schlock fest and unlike house of frankenstein the monsters in this movie interact a lot more but this movie also offers some unique story lines for both dracula and the wolf man who both go to dr for of their while the wolf man actually does find a cure dracula his blood into the doctor and that's when the real fun begins i highly recommend this movie to fans of classic horror movies but remember i never said it was good just fun,positive

i was disappointed with this one having just read the wonderful oscar story i had hoped for at least a little of the magic to translate onto the screen well there was none this version played like a down movie not only did it feel rushed it was and needlessly re written major characters and plot points were either changed or completely removed i appreciate the difficulties in trying to bring a novel to the screen especially on what may very well have been a limited tv budget but there is no excuse for a great story in this way i thoroughly recommend reading tale of the that exists under even the most beautiful but i cannot advise anyone to rent this travesty,negative
this was first all talking picture and the results are mixed the movie is a biting satire of hitler and their henchmen and their way of life especially regarding the of the jews it was daring and forward for 1940 and must have made a lot of people br br when compared to earlier works this is quite pale in comparison the sweet funny style of his in my opinion is far superior to his first there are lots of meaningless bits that drag on if this was a silent it probably would not have happened br br i find one of the funniest moments to be the musical moment and the globe dance one of the most touching moments is obviously the speech at the end br br the great dictator is an effective and at times moving film that is a very big part of both history and movie history it is flawed but chaplin is in great form,positive

as many know this is the feature film debut of edward d wood jr as as a writer producer director actor i have been a fan of ed wood for several years now while i don't like this as much as some of his other films it was probably the largest insight that the cinematic going public gets of wood during his life everybody knows that he was a this film is about changing one's sex and how being a can create conflict in relationships with loved ones this film is way ahead of its time in dealing with this subject matter and how it deals with it however the film still contains usual of bad dialog meaningless stock footage and hokey special effects throw in usual of bela lugosi it up and you have first attempt at being a director br br the plot is that a police inspector goes to a doctor after he discovers the body of a who committed suicide for advice on how to avoid further problems along these lines the doctor tells him the story of who is also a wants to marry barbara but can't bring himself to tell her about his secret he also tells the inspector about alan who a sex change because he is really more suited to being a woman bela lugosi plays a scientist who seems to add some kind of running commentary on what is going on part really isn't well defined and proves to be most likely a vehicle for wood to have a star in his film and lugosi to get some cash br br all in all the movie shows the of career it was obviously shot on a very low budget and has quite a few things thrown in rather it definitely has the it's so bad it's good feel to it however i do have to applaud ed on his thinking in making this film and sex changes were not extremely open subjects in the early 50s wood took a big risk in making a film that portrays as people who are not sexual and putting a more human face on cross dressing,negative
jeff never really made it beyond the lowest ranks of martial artists turned actors lower than don the dragon wilson for example and with vehicles like the expert you can see why there are three major problems with this movie 1 the plot or should i say plots are all over the place there are some characters who get a lot of screen time but serve little purpose 2 there are only 4 fight scenes in total some of them completely unrelated to the main plot and some taking place in the dark 3 the music score is and overbearing strange as it may seem this is really the most annoying thing about this film the score tries to convince you that you're watching some sort of grand epic instead of the low budget limited action film you are indeed watching with all that said at least there's james around to lend a touch of credibility 1 2 out of 4,negative
oh where the hell should i begin give a brief summary of the story no either you've already heard it or don't want to either way it sucks much like the movie i happen to be a semi large horror movie and i must say this is one of the dumbest and most clumsily executed movies i've ever had the of viewing br br the script is stupid the story starts too fast with absolutely no suspense or build up in the slightest all of those torture scenes would have been a lot more effective if we gave even the bit of crap for the characters since the first scene in the film is when the teenage girls meet capt how the hell are we supposed to sympathize with them first off they seem stupid for going to a party with a guy they don't even know and second we don't even know their damn names why the hell should i care if they live or die not to mention the fact that they actually have the guts to try and make us feel sympathetic towards capt after he's been please i was cheering when he got his just he deserved them hell he deserved worse also we're forced to sit through a pointless sequence lifted directly from the silence of the and here it's done horribly of course he's gonna give them a false address and even if he had given them the real one don't you think he'd be waiting and not some guy's johnson upstairs retarded br br then there's the dialogue everything captain says is either laughable or just plain stupid the dead are so dreadfully dead when they're dead what the hell kind of crap is that dee at one point says knowledge is power well if that's true this film has absolutely no power whatsoever br br then there's the plot holes yes i know this is a horror film well wannabe horror film but damn you could drive a semi truck into these holes first off these have got to be the dumbest cops i have ever seen ever i mean dear god these guys are morons call for idiots second how the hell did that ring fall out of captain nose this expert guy says that's the biggest one i've ever seen but if it's so damn big how the hell could it have fallen out so easily did capt just leave it at the crime scene because he wanted to get caught they sure didn't make it seem like he did also they would never release capt and i know that for a damn fact he would be in jail for the rest of his life and there's no getting around this much less let him return to his old house where he killed tortured everybody impossible and implausible br br and now the acting dear god did these people suck linda is the only thing good in this film she's and amazing too bad she hardly gets a good chance to act in this piece of crap amy smart shows up for about 10 minutes and then drops out of existence even the usually entertaining robert englund is underused and here dee plays the crazy guy with no talent whatsoever i never felt threatened scared or i'd rather have seen dee in role in bride of it would have been so much more fun to see this talent less hack get it by that lovable psycho doll br br dee just plain sucks he can't act one of the least scary villains i have ever seen he can't write did he write this damn movie in his sleep and he's obviously dumber than freaking jessica simpson this film is just a way for dee to show off all the weird crap he knows about self and modern and blah blah blah either it's been done before or it just didn't need to be done i was bored throughout the whole damn thing br br the acting sucks the music sucks the script sucks the pacing sucks the special fx suck the directing sucks basically this movie sucks this film tries to be a serious and sophisticated thriller horror flick and it fails miserably it doesn't manage to scare shock or in any shape way or form this is probably one of the least effective and utterly unoriginal films i have ever seen in my entire life a piece of cinematic garbage captured on celluloid br br gets a 0 out of 10 avoid at any and all costs not enjoyable in the slightest,negative
i watched 5 of this movie tonight and you may tell me that i need to see the whole movie to understand it but frankly i don't think so br br what the hell is the story in this movie i saw a lot of people running around in a factory shooting at everything around them br br where to start okay br br 1 they were shooting around the place as if it was the terminator or something they were trying to kill the entire place is made of metal but not a single bullet on the br br 2 no metal vs metal is bound to cause but apparently no one got hit by a stray bullet br br 3 magic bullets in one scene a bad guy is standing right in front of a good guy when another good guy pops out behind the bad guy and him full of metal you see the bullets exit his chest as it explodes in a bloody but the good guy right in front of him doesn't get hurt at all 4 after having just a human being all over the wall the two good guys tell each other some jokes and they laugh and look like teenagers playing with soft guns br br 5 sound at one point the good guys cut a wire and an alarm goes off who the hell cuts a wire just to set off an alarm the lady screams out alarm in blah blah and the bad guy boss says okay this is not a blah blah in a very very amateur kinda way we're getting by terrorists this isn't a but i'm gonna sound like i don't give crap br br 6 focus first you see the bad guys load up on weapons for some reason the same guy gets the same twice or loop of scenes you literally see every single bad guy receive the same kind of weapon and they lock and load the same way the weapons dealer pops in the clip and the bad guy extra no locks and loads when they started opening fire you had to see the barrel flashes 7 actors or one of the presumed good guys throw down a smoke for some reason and of course the bad guys are suddenly inside the smoke because they're smoke blind or something so they don't see it coming they and as if it was in the then a semi boss bad guy arrives and he doesn't even when he enters the smoke he just pushes the other bad guys away and they suddenly realize that the smoke isn't anyway br br 8 b flick i think yeah a guy down a metal wielding a in his right hand shooting away at someone in his eye height apparently i'd like to see a guy fire a with one hand and i'd like to see him go get his hand afterwards extra bloody gore mess in a b flick kinda way small pops and a red hole with a torn shirt that this guy is dead though the first bullet hit his heart the good guy who is a super trained green still feel the urge to empty his clip into the dead guy br br 9 one of these mentioned trained soldiers jump out from his hide with an empty clip how stupid can you be always check your clip before facing an unknown amount of enemies 10 boring scenes like the barrel flash scenes and the lock and load scenes the movie is filled with time wasting scenes of people running around in an apparently empty building cut to the action if you're going for a b flick movie please br br my two cents on this movie,negative
i was really looking forward to seeing this movie having spent a few fantastic college weeks in myself the premise is right on cue a confused young individual enters a world of equally confused young individuals but the director's weak at symbolism philosophy and social commentary were completely off the mark and it leaves us the audience feeling confused bravo br br perhaps if this movie had been presented as a european american pie flick then i'd be able to turn off my brain and go along for the ride but right off the bat the director our deeper senses by introducing the symbolism of the twisted and the of the inner self vs the public self one's mother tongue vs one's secondary language furthermore it into the subject of racial national stereotyping off to an interesting start eh br br wrong that's as far as it goes these interesting topics are hardly mentioned again except at the contrived type ending which seemed to be the director's way of to get back on topic it reminded me of a meandering speech which goes nowhere but the ends by saying so in conclusion i hope you see how this relates to my original thought br br furthermore as other reviewers have pointed out the cynical at stereotyping betrays itself if the point is to the use of national stereotypes then why did the director introduce a cockney speaking beer english brat as a caricature of prejudice why did the director portray the american as a literally his chest making ape noises at one point whilst the europeans tolerate him why is the british girl the one who sinks to calling french people and the french language while everyone else is above all that the answer is that this isn't a deep or well thought out film it's simply an to the but really it's no different from the prejudice it seeks to now there's a funny irony to consider br br ok philosophy artistry political commentary aside i was still very bored by this movie there is one very funny gag which involves one of the girls' boyfriends but aside from that i was hardly entertained at all the only reason why i watched it through to the end is that i'd like to brush up on my french spanish you see we americans may be stupid but we do try,negative
it is to me how anyone could have enjoyed or laughed at this movie i'd say it's the worst movie i've seen in years and i see a lot of them maybe i've forgotten junior high it's also very hard to believe that this is the same jeff daniels to did such a brilliant performance of george washington in the crossing seems like ever since he did dumber he's gone into the tank can you believe he even wrote and directed this junk,negative
i love documentaries they are among my favorite genres of film before seeing this film i hadn't seen one that i hadn't liked br br the premise for this film is a great one the execution is well done there were some times early on when i laughed and yet as the film went on the more tedious and irritating it became this could have been something special had the subject not been such an childish inept i appreciate his passion for film but quit your whining if you're short on maybe you shouldn't have so many kids or spend so much money on alcohol maybe you should have gone to film school or at least from high school maybe you should have lived life and gotten perspective and experiences that could add to your vision br br there are so many people out there with stories that are interesting funny and poignant to see this guy chosen over any of them is nothing less than crass if you want to do a documentary on a film maker why not do one on someone from china or iran a film maker with real problems br br two final questions br br who takes a little kid to see apocalypse now br br how many times did this guy say man,negative
brought philip to life in a way that is worthy of the greatest performances of all time and not just the ones that are by popularity it shows a stark portrayal of life as the greatest poet of his era which is exactly how he would have wanted it such was his disdain for and it dramatically exposes the raw beauty in the intense sadness of observations of our relationship with our own and lays it our in a way that seems to have missed even the great for anyone interested in profound observations of our relationship with life love and death this is a must,positive
i wouldn't waste the time on reviewing a film like human chop the 2001 version not to be confused with the earlier film of the same title which is probably better known in the west as the story but since the reviews already here are quite vague as to what it actually consists of i figured i'd best post something more detailed so as no one actually gets tempted as i was into buying it because of the film's i honestly would just say stay away br br major spoilers are contained below br br human chop i was expecting to be like a chinese interpretation of the popular japanese guinea pig films anyone who's watched enough of that series can see where its makers are coming from there's a strong sense of humour running throughout it you can't watch the ludicrous he never dies without laughing and the making of guinea pig is a fabulous turning of the whole thing on its head proving it was just made with some glee by fairly good natured all the films have a punk rock shot on video aesthetic occasional flashes of genuine artistry mermaid in a an angry political agenda and a deranged that sets them in a league of their own br br human chop has none of the above br br it's shot on film with good production values it's 90 minutes long and it's utterly devoid of anything redeeming the plot tells in flashback at a police of the suspects of the torture death and eventual of grace a heroin addicted who is kidnapped and by her and his henchmen when she steals money from him br br despite its fleeting attempts at being a morality play the film possesses a detached feel to it and one can't help but on the of those behind it although it half paints grace as an innocent victim the mean spirited nature of its screenplay and the constant vicious dialogue towards a shocking utterly she deserves it point of view which makes the whole thing almost impossible to watch far more time is spent and when her are eventually deemed guilty and it seems like a on behalf of the writers who've long since stopped caring less br br what makes it as to why anyone would want to watch such a film is that even the kind of people who do really get off on mindless sex and violence in the movies would be severely missing out the torture is just a continuous stream of verbal abuse psychological abuse and then increasingly bizarre displays of power on behalf of the use heroin addiction to make her do their and when i say that don't get me wrong incidentally unlike guinea pig with it's frequent of nudity that gives an almost teenage feel of mock to the proceedings in spite of the human chop has no such sexual overtones there isn't any actual nudity in the film and the violence is performed purely out of by the protagonists who early in the film are seen a dog into a bag and it against a brick wall don't worry not real just a cheap special effect br br the only actual bloodshed in the film is towards the end when they body and the bones all very poor special fx nowhere near guinea pig level and by that stage you'll probably be already feeling too miserable and sick to even care what's going on br br the film is bleak and along a similar line to buddy combat shock and i guess could even be compared at a push both movies deal with the physical decline of an individual who exists in a nightmarish environment devoid of any social or morally characters and both movies in a particularly visceral manner with the inevitable doom br br in fairness neither it's violence whereas guinea pig could easily be accused of this but one can't help but wonder where the place is for a film like this it fails to many any real points in its frank presentation of such brutality and with a pace a virtually non existent plot line and the aforementioned lack of any entertainment value i just can't understand what would encourage anyone to watch something like this i only made it to the end purely for the purpose of being able to review it fairly which i hope i've now done br br overall score 0 of of 10 welcome to the bottom of the barrel,negative
this low budget indie film the word blah it will surprise most that this word can actually be found in the defined as nonsense uninteresting dull lifeless the movie the word because i would have to add to those four words pc crap pretentious on a pathetic level and pointless br br the film tries so hard to be hip and in touch with contemporary beautiful people struggling for je behaviour and thinking do they think there is almost no plot to speak of though there is one to sleep to the and most politically correct things about it are how a white woman is great friends with a young black stud the black street player with a for oh so wise and advice and the fat black psychic isn't it beautiful how the races can get along after all in the end the woman reads out poetry which is nothing more than one of her dull dear diary entries she gets a standing although in real life her would have more likely than not off into deep but this movie has little to do with real life even though that is where it's supposed to be happening in real life her poetry reading would have gotten standing only if she had the sense to include the sexual details and then i his huge penis against my pink little cheers what's worse the lead actress has a dozen scenes in which she either or with someone yet they never have the sense to show her breasts which was clearly the only thing left to save this mess br br the black guy and the blonde who are separated by about a in height hook up they look like a cheap variation of and madonna as if the latter two aren't a cheap enough combination already nicole mentioned by howard stern in his miss america book is the blonde stern writes of that she took her out yet i believe that when they took her out they also sucked most of the meat out of her flesh and by mistake for she looks here br br the player in one scene develops angel like wings he looks like al advertising angel food,negative
george barry is a genius death bed the bed that eats is a prototype for much of the fiction and camp that is so now truly innovative maverick and just brilliant hyper strange acting subtly nightmarish atmosphere i recommend reading stephen book nightmare usa there is a chapter devoted to barry and death bed the bed that eats available from press on a related note death bed the bed that eats and beyond door make a perfect double bill furthermore it's trite and tired and ultimately ironic to criticize a low budget cult film for being or inept ' the b movie aesthetic is part of these charm no amount of cgi could the effect death bed the bed that eats has on the viewer with an advanced,positive
i don't know why all the previous comments are of this movie it is well not by far but the movie i've seen lately full of clichés bad acting actually no very bad acting and has a silly plot if i would have seen it in a cinema i would have walked out after the first 20 minutes i f you hate somebody make him her watch this movie that's how bad it is a girl who has an imaginary boy friend that gives up a relationship with a real one because her imagination is jealous but i think it figures she takes after her parents who also have some mental issues plus the character who is supposed to be i think the laughing stock of it the thing that should make you laugh room mate is a serious nut case and just makes me feel sorry for him and the whole movie,negative
those wishing to see film noir remakes should not see this as as a remake you will always be disappointed instead enjoy a gripping performance from dennis quaid and visual imagery to the colour from the film literally not as the plot pace and the dialogue is crisp and gritty the opening dialogue is clever and the viewer is carried along by a sharp screenplay and a real original film noir feel,positive

the title suggests that this movie is a sequel to an american werewolf in london none of the characters from the previous movie return and aren't even mentioned in this movie by name so as a sequel fails one would say br br i dare to say the opposite br br an american werewolf in paris is a charming effective horror movie it's one of the better werewolf films i have seen in a long time too and i have seen quite my share such as an american werewolf in london the howling the and the underworld trilogy br br the story tells of three americans visiting paris on a vacation at the top of the tower one of them saves a woman trying to commit suicide what starts out as a romantic relationship slowly turns into a nightmare when the dark secrets that in the city are revealed br br i really liked the acting in this film especially the two stars of the movie the woman who tried to commit suicide and the guy who saves her they have good chemistry together but the other two americans also play their roles nicely i didn't really find anything annoying about the acting so thumbs up for that br br the effects on the werewolves are nice it doesn't look too cheap or fake to me of course the opinions are divided about this subject but let's just say that i wasn't disappointed br br there's also a good amount of humor in this movie there are some really funny scenes you will probably remember for a long time br br so to sum it up an american werewolf in paris might not be a direct sequel to it's predecessor but it's still an enjoyable movie perfect for fans of werewolves 7 out of 10 stars,positive

the legend a la warner brothers epic there's no casting against type here with the flamboyant flynn as the flamboyant in this rousing tribute not only to but to the men of the the story the life of the famed general from his days at west point to his final fight at the little big horn great liberties are taken with facts here and we are presented with a that is much more sympathetic to the plight of the than history relates but this one is done on such a grand scale the battle scenes alone provided for every extra in hollywood down beat ending and all this is great fun,positive
there was some good build up of suspense throughout the cinematography was surprisingly good considering such minimal budget we witness occasional spells of good acting however this is quickly by some quite cheesy lines understandably there would not be much of an intellectual conversation to be had sitting up on trees while a crocodile is stalking you silence would have been golden here there could have been a bigger play on suspense than i sat in the for fear of my brother something tells me there's a slight difference in getting a beating from your brother than being eaten by a mighty croc you decide throughout the film i can't seem to find a connection or for that matter sympathy with the characters perhaps thats because they don't develop one throughout the film character that is there are some occasional good scares when the crocodile up on the characters overshadowed again by some questionable scenes in one instance we should be terrified by an ear floating in the water but later we sit beside a decapitated corpse and only worry about a broken finger a definite roller coaster of a film when it comes to logic,negative
now don't get me wrong i love bad movies no i adore bad movies 2 painful the hands of fate just watch go guru the mad monk is that traffic noise in the medieval background ok so that's clear but this is one of those films that was quite obviously trying to be something better but didn't make it why not well it would be easy to blame the plot but we've seen worse there weren't too many holes and i know there's not a lot of originality in it but then that kill a film the effects aren't bad if you completely ignore the last scene the monster is ok the truck quite menacing so where did it go wrong well i'd love to blame it on the look a like so i will comedy and horror are difficult to mix well bad comedy and horror even worse and there's the problem i this guy from the moment he stuck his head up literally the of the overly meek adam becomes annoying so annoying that you lose belief that the of people wouldn't react by pushing him out of the moving car door and i thought it was the monster bits that the director was meant to have trouble convincing us of why are bad movies fun well you have great fun holes in them laughing at the script all the etc this film doesn't make the category of because its just bad due to being annoying said don't bother go watch anything else and you'll be a better person for it i promise fade to of,negative

i thought this was a beautiful film it is not my favourite of his films express holds that spot this one is quite different from anything else i have seen of his it is slow but not annoyingly so it takes its time and the characters there is minimal movement in the frame the is wonderful the acting is great the film feels like a long warm drink,positive
this film is along with le lo and both films leave a lot to be desired in the way of their dvd first both films are very dark occasionally making it hard to see exactly what's happening second neither film has subtitles and you are forced to watch a dubbed film though del does seem to have a better dub personally i always prefer subtitles but for the non out there this isn't a problem these dvd problems however are not the fault of the original film makers just the indifferent package being four decades later br br as for the film it's about the assassination of president garfield this is a major problem as van johnson looks about as much like garfield as judy garland in no way whatsoever does he look like garfield he's missing the beard has the wrong hair color and style and is just not even close in any way trust me on this i am an american history teacher and we are paid to know these sort of things the real life garfield was a civil war general and looked like the guys on the smith brothers drop boxes plus using some other actor to provide the voice for johnson in the dubbing is just surreal never before or since has van johnson sounded quite so macho he was a fine actor but certainly not a convincing general or macho president br br in addition to the stupid casting president death was in no way like this film it's obvious that the film makers are actually in on the crazy about concerning the death of not garfield garfield was shot in washington not dallas by a lone with severe mental problems not a group of men with however according to most experts what actually killed garfield over two months later were incompetent doctors who and and to retrieve a bullet to no and never bothered cleaning their hands or in the process in other words like george washington who was basically killed by repeated when suffering with he died due to in the movie they got nothing right whatsoever other than indeed president garfield was shot br br because the film bears almost no similarity to real history it's like a history lesson as taught from someone from another planet or someone with a severe brain injury why not also include ninjas fighting robots and the greek gods while you're at it aside from some decent acting and production values because the script is utter cow crap i don't recommend anyone watch it it's just a complete and utter mess,negative
my family watches this movie over and over even our 3 year old loves it i like the goodness in the movie giving the stranger a chance showing to one obviously in need of some acceptance the movie gives a feeling of and victory one other aspect of the movie that makes it so appealing is the personalities of siblings the bird lover the bug lover the boy lover very cute and happy movie there is one thing however that is irritating about it that is how mrs brown often makes mr brown look foolish or she at times comes off as a know it all and he as a which he is not too bad to put that into such a nice story nevertheless we will continue to enjoy this wonderful old movie,positive
well how can i without to ok here goes the scripts are fantastic with each episode offering so much entertainment drama humour and sheer the casting is perfect especially that of the blue lady played by virginia hey each character has a depth that just isn't there on the star trek series br br i think having an australian spin on the show makes this for me australia has been knocking out quality films for years and is no exception br br i have only seen the first four episodes in uk order and they have a quality that makes each 45 minute show in the uk stand out more like a film than a weekly tv series br br the episode that really does it for me is 'i which turns the alien concept around where a living ship even the has a great character is forced to land on a planet that has yet to make and is surprisingly earth like and meets a radio and he is the green man' to them gripping stuff br br in short the effects are great the scripts are top quality and the main characters not one of them really given any more importance than any other are interesting not always and well just excellent br br roll on the second season,positive
flipping through the channels i was lucky enough to stumble upon the beginning of this movie i must admit that it grabbed my attention almost immediately i love older films and this is or should be considered a classic one of the most wonderful of this movie is that the main character was not only female but she was also a bad girl i highly recommend this movie,positive
it's also the best book i've ever read karl urban and steve are great together it had drama adventure and and sadness i laughed i cried it's hard not to laugh when gus is talking i wish gus would have clara like he did clara just lead gus on all those years with no intentions of ever marrying him she just liked playing with him it was sad that he spent his whole life for her it would have been nice if had married maggie but she would have just died on him anyway was a man that could not express his feelings and kept them up it was obvious that he loved maggie after the raid on austin when the rangers got back and he ran to hold her val kilmer is excellent at playing odd characters i loved his portrayal of skull i loved the whole saga moon is the best of the bunch,positive
preposterous executed in a amateurish and inept way or perhaps several since the incredible lack of continuity tone realism suspense and much more combine with walter attempts at charm to produce a cinema curiosity to rank with some of fritz other failures i thought the german was actually played by lang but apparently not they could have been twins if you cannot predict the ending from several away you are not actually alive br br i was eagerly awaiting this dvd and was totally surprised and disappointed by such dire crap even with george sanders and john carradine maybe i can wash my mind out by watching in instead and for the time br br anyone want a dvd used once there may be a movie to be made about the making of this atrocious film and how so many talented people could be wasted so completely,negative
the children was on tv again this weekend and i had forgotten how good it was br br if i have a criticism it is that the episodic structure sometimes shows a little too clearly there being little narrative flow from sequence to sequence the charm and beauty of the film are such that this matters very little however br br i won't the comments of others other than to add my vote for the final scene on the platform as being possibly the single most emotional scene in the history of british cinema as a cynical old passing through middle age rather too quickly i too find i cannot even think of that moment without being hit with a severe case of i've got something in my eye in fact it's not just something in my eye it moves things around inside me too with that beautiful happy pain we sometimes feel br br and jenny was beautiful in this film standing with one foot in childhood and one in young and bringing qualities of both to her portrayal of a girl having to grow up rather too quickly br br plus a quick for bernard regarded mostly as a lightweight actor he created a of great humanity,positive

watching this film today i got the feeling this thing was missing about 10 to 15 minutes or so from the beginning of the story john wayne rides up on this post saloon out in the middle of nowhere to meet with the owner about some all he sees is the signs of a massacre some dead bodies signs of a fight and no one alive in sight that's because the daughter is hidden in a secret room the kind you find in old english murder mysteries br br the reason you find those hidden rooms in those kind of stories is that they were catholic families to the old faith in century england built these things to hide those on the run from royal authorities because of their faith not something you see in westerns but a good gimmick br br unfortunately because of bad editing or writing or both we never know exactly what brought wayne to this place exactly but this was a b western and not even a good one at that br br hayes is in this and he's clean and playing a mute part of the time an unusual for the br br if you want to bother and find out what happens and see a hayes then see this film,negative

after his earlier movie which definitely shows similarities to this movie director david again himself in the world of virtual reality in which truth and fiction mix it's virtual reality taken to a whole other level br br is an highly original movie that is well directed and acted out but above all very well written the movie features a fascination and well thought out concept which gets greatly executed by director david br br is a movie that knows to constantly fool you just when you thought you figured things out another surprise around the corner things are never like how you think they are especially when the line between truth and fiction gets explored you just never really know what is the reality and what is the game world right till the ending it makes the characters and events all very unpredictable and also provides the movie with a great ending that will leave you thinking even more br br the movie has a perfect kind of game play storytelling mostly with its character appearances and its puzzling events they have to complete a certain step or task first before they can continue in the world and find out what their purpose in the game is br br the movie knows how to create a perfect balance between realism and without ever going over the top with either one the storytelling keeps the movie as simple as possible though of course the movie isn't always that simple to follow because of its events dialogs and unusual br br the movie is not only just weird though i was actually surprised to see that has an higher rating on here thought it's a far more and movie the movie is also still made entertaining and has a good fast pace it doesn't ever allow the movie to get stuck in its more philosophical moments and deeper meanings it also makes this movie perfectly watchable for people who normally don't watch this sort of movies br br the movie is good looking with subtle effective special effects a great visual look that also provides the movie with a certain required feeling br br the movie is well cast with jude law in a role you don't too often see him in that of a shy insecure person it once more shows how actually versatile law as an actor is and that he is way more than just another pretty face from hollywood jennifer jason leigh also was a great female lead she hasn't really played ever that many big parts in big productions but with this movie she shows why she nevertheless always have been regarded as a big movie star the movie also features some other well known actors in much smaller roles such as ian and willem dafoe br br an highly original movie that is well worth watching especially if you have seen previously br br 8 10,positive
if you know anything about the manhattan project you will find fat man and little boy at least an interesting depiction of the events surrounding that story the film is in all ways a very realistic portrayal of these events and in many ways it is almost too real such as some scenes involving radiation paul newman as usual is brilliant in his role and always manages to come off like a real person on the screen the supporting cast such as john cusack laura dern bonnie and natasha richardson is fairly good as well this film is not however one of the best examples of turning a true story into a movie great films are able to take a true story and use just enough artistic license to keep its audience engaged for the entire movie this one however tends to drag a bit throughout and some scenes such as john cusack and natasha love story could have been eliminated entirely without causing the film to lose much nevertheless there are enough interesting facts and tiny humorous bits to at least keep the audience interested enough to see the entire film it does not always entertain but as far as great depictions go this is very accurate fascinating and will leave the audience with something to think about br br out of,positive
1st watched 10 10 2009 8 out of 10 billy wilder spectacular rendering of famous flight by james stewart as and director billy wilder there isn't really a whole lot of background built into this story but that's ok because wilder makes the event really remarkable as it comes directly from perspective since he used his book as the basis of the movie this early movie about flying has to be one of the best about the act itself as well stewart talking and thinking to himself during the flight gives you so much insight into what went thru in this 33 hour solo flight across the atlantic and he did the whole flight without sleeping the night before which is amazing there is a little about how he purchased the plane and got the and some flashbacks about his life during the flight but the movie is mostly about the flight the story is also beautifully made and photographed and is a joy to watch despite it's age i appreciate the fact that they didn't throw in a lot of fluff and just let the story tell itself well done throughout this is a classic movie that should be viewed by all,positive
warning this film has some amazingly graphic images and should never be seen by kids br br the artist who this story is all about was indeed a fine korean painter who rose up from the lowest depths to become their greatest painter unfortunately in so many ways this guy was also a jerk in so many ways some of this was the artistic and what may have seemed annoying was just his demanding nature when it came to art but other times he was simply a drunk jerk especially when he was on his way to becoming a great artist late in the film his being annoying and needlessly cruel seemed to have while all this didn't make him a particularly nice man it is important to capture on film so we understand a lot about the nature of the artist br br i really found the movie fascinating and loved how the artists actual works were shown throughout the movie like in lust for life i really wish i could show this to my students i teach at a school for the arts but can't because there is just too much adult material yes there is nudity but even more for any audience particularly younger ones is when he hmmm i don't think imdb will even let me describe what occurred but it was very graphic and involves not only a nasty and disgusting scene that did not need to be seen but a reason to keep junior from watching this otherwise wonderful film it's a real shame,positive
what can you say about a movie whose funniest episode sees a fat man wrestling a garden the acting particularly that of lead man jerry is embarrassing the dialogue is so contrived and unfunny it makes you cringe the controlling idea is actually not a bad one for this genre teen comedy but somehow the director manages to make the least of it i rate it a 2 out of 10,negative
nothing but the director's juvenile fantasy come to life this is nothing more than an excuse for the director actor to play face with an attractive young woman who would otherwise never give him the time of day br br the plot is simple the direction is nonexistent and the movie drags while the actor director writer narrator don't be fooled by the rating there is no nudity and minimal gore,negative

you can survive anything anything except a dumb horror flick the director couldn't even decide whether he wanted a demon or just a plain ol' backwoods serial killer you can't have both it's like michael moore trying to have his cake and eat it too or in his case by making his particular brand of comedies they're supposed to be oh so hilarious and zany and yet you're also meant to treat them as truth based earth shattering hard hitting documentaries some genres cannot be mixed br br anything can happen to anyone any time any place translation this is the horror genre so we can do any kind of nonsense we want this sounds not so much like something wise found on a paper of a chinese fortune cookie but more like the of every bad horror film director we get this of a statement served to us early on sort of as a justification of the absurd to come br br my phone isn't working well of course it isn't there is a far greater chance that sean brain starts working after decades of than that a horror film cell phone does the single most dreary and predictable horror cliché of the past decade why even say it we know help will never come via a phone call so horror making might as well just not even mention it the last 50 horror films i saw use this plot device it's becoming embarrassing br br you always have to expect the unexpected the final twist was rather surprising i'll give them that much however plenty of nonsense on the way there br br check out the elaborate traps the heroine sets up with the speed of a drugged up lab rat in the cold wet and almost totally dark conditions i just love horror film realism br br when a blood demon starts trying to be funny by his victims then you know your horror viewing pleasure is in doubt the less said about the old cracking wise the better another stupid cliché served by a tired lazy uninspired director br br what are the odds of being attacked by your husband and then by an eye hating demon on the same day expect the unexpected they might as well have in an event in which she survives a plane crash and then another in which she encounters aliens who tried to her br br the fast forward button needs a temple or a built in its image,negative
worth the entertainment value of a rental especially if you like action movies this one features the usual car chases fights with the great van damme kick style shooting battles with the 40 shell load shotgun and even terrorist style bombs all of this is entertaining and competently handled but there is nothing that really blows you away if you've seen your share before br br the plot is made interesting by the inclusion of a rabbit which is clever but hardly profound many of the characters are heavily stereotyped the angry veterans the terrified illegal aliens the crooked cops the indifferent the bitchy tough lady station head the crooked politician the fat who looks like he was as the mexican in a hollywood movie from the 1940s all acted but again nothing special br br i thought the main villains were pretty well done and fairly well acted by the end of the movie you certainly knew who the good guys were and weren't there was an emotional lift as the really bad ones got their just very simplistic but then you weren't expecting hamlet right the only thing i found really annoying was the constant cuts to daughter during the last fight scene br br not bad not good passable 4,negative

according to in his de la robert 1973 page character was not very with women he had quite a number of passions with female members of the to whom he dedicated some but musicians even did not qualify for husbands of fine ladies was a servant of von died from drink or poison and was according to a frequent of street prostitutes in vienna a british newman says that before he was 40 that he became deaf because of that is possible but not certain br br the was premiered on may 7 in the in vienna along with the of the house and the first three parts of the this was the first on stage appearance in twelve years the hall was packed although the performance was directed by michael the shared the stage with him quiet br br so what remains of this female fantasy ed harris interpretation and characterization are quite good but too linear based on the painting by date i have it in front of me it shows a man that perhaps hates the world with good reason,negative
sometimes reading the user comments on imdb fills me with despair for the species for anybody to dismiss 2001 a space odyssey as boring they must have no interest in science technology philosophy history or the art of film making finally i understand why most hollywood productions are so shallow and vacuous they understand their audience br br thankfully those that cannot appreciate kubrick's accomplishment are still a minority most viewers are able to see the intelligence and sheer that went into the making of this epic this is the film that put the science in science fiction and its depiction of space travel and future remains to this day it was so far ahead of its time that humanity still hasn't caught up br br 2001 is primarily a technical film the reason it is slow and filled with is because the aim was to realistically the future of technology and the past in the awe inspiring opening scenes the film's greatest strength is in the details remember that when this film was made man still hadn't made it out to the moon but there it is in 2001 and that's just the start of the journey to create such an incredibly detailed vision of the future that 35 years later it is still the best we have is beyond belief i still can't work out how some of the shots were done the film's only notable mistake was the optimism with which it predicted technological and social development it is our shame that the year 2001 did not look like the film 2001 not kubrick's br br besides the incredible special effects camera work and set design kubrick also presents the viewer with a lot of food for thought about what it means to be human and where the human race is going yes the ending is weird and hard to comprehend but that's the nature of the future kubrick and clarke have started the task of it now it's up to the audience to continue there's no neat resolution no definitive full stop because then the audience could stop thinking after the final reel i know that's what most audiences seem to want these days but kubrick isn't going to let us off so lightly br br i'm glad to see that this film is in the imdb top 100 films and only wish that it were even higher stanley kubrick is one of the very finest film makers the world has known and 2001 his finest accomplishment 10 10,positive
from the start you will like sam character a cop that is notably loyal to his partner but too loyal and too when seeing his partner dead in an alley cause he then kills who he thought to be the before giving him a chance to explain is an alcoholic and that tends to him from being in self control though he manages to direct his attention towards finding who's really behind his partners death he carries along a rookie as his new partner which seems to be seen too often in films but does well in accompanying sam elliot though puzzling pieces begin to fit to where begins a self investigation towards he mainly wants to find the answers since fallon isn't letting him in on the whole story and does not like what he finds there is not a last minute showing at who the bad detectives are which is okay and they are not able to into joining them leading to a dramatic ending fine acting all the way around with a touch of humor from paul sorvino who is the captain of detectives it's a good movie that will make you want to see it several times so it qualifies as a must see and a good addition to a movie collection filmed in san francisco,positive
well acted yes very well i must say even though i don't speak nice cinematography but the script is lame really lame a predictable soap opera in which you know exactly everything that is going to happen ok maybe the ending isn't as predictable but is it any good it is one of those films that you have the feeling that have seen already and forget about the day after br br i just got a note from imdb saying that my comment was not long enough that's really sad because i have no idea of what else to say about this movie which actually says a a lot about it don't you think the thing is it has no soul and no originality compare this movie with or riff shot more than ten years ago or the extraordinary recently shot the child it's sad to see that this is a much worse film,negative
this is a great comedy what it was like to live next door to racist but also shows that both main characters are actually as bad as each other based on the hit comedy this is very politically incorrect and its all the better for it comedy after all is to entertain the movies only real is there much of a plot however the cast are as great as usual jack and walker make one hell of a team playing off each other in a kind of way it's been many years since i saw this movie and last week was finally able to buy it on dvd the fact that the movie still contains genuine laugh out loud moments means that i can recommend this movie just like i would of back in the 1970's,positive
we just saw this film before release at the film forum and there was general on two matters there were excellent performances in a first rate drama by the two leads and by others and secondly the marketing for this movie will only bring disaster we saw a lurid poster with chains and suggestive commentary some sort of sexual relationship between samuel jackson and whereas the movie has some real depth and some thoughtful ideas what's sad is that people looking for near porn will be drawn in to see the film and will be disappointed because it will be too heavy for them while the people who would really enjoy it wouldn't be caught dead walking into the theater showing it too bad a good film wasted,positive
one of the major aspects of vera called little vera in english is that it was the first movie from the soviet union that featured a sex scene albeit a short one the title is important vera is the russian word for faith that punk vera has little faith in the soviet system and as the movie shows there's not much faith to be had in it the opening scene shows the bleak industrial town of nearly a hell on earth when lover moves in with her family it leads to some unexpected events br br like in many russian movies people's names describe their characters for example there's remember that victor means winner all in all this is a good look at the soviet union while it was and we can see why it was really good,positive

some films are designed to just entertain you others to make you laugh or cry or others like this aim to to make you think and to make you angry i was angry during this film not at the film but at the fact that it was true that america the free does torture in the illogical view that it is doing it for the greater good the torture scenes in this movie were harrowing the indifference of people was shattering the film was compelling in its argument and showed just how wrong it is to torture people of course now that makes me a bleeding liberal shoved on people by others who shut their minds to the facts that this does happen and should not people who don't realise that as the movie said for every person tortured you get ten or one hundred people rise up to perform acts of vengeance you get an ever increasing cycle of violence this film did not make me hate america although i can see how it could do but it made me hate the way that america has in its post 9 11 world there is a significant quote in the film just after we have learned that 19 people have died and five were injured in the bomb scene the quote is one american is dead that makes the difference you cannot kill an american america can kill thousands but you cannot kill a single american or they will do whatever it takes including torture to justice this is the american way apparently call me a liberal call me naive although i think the people who think torture is fine are naive call me call me anything you like but this film is a brilliant example of what is wrong in america and the west today i wish this film would be shown to all school students at a minimum this film will stay with me a long time part of me wishes i could forget it because i wish this type of thing never happened but i know it does the other part of me wishes i would never forget because we need to remember these shameful events to prevent them from happening again whatever happens to me this film will be with me for a long time and i will be telling everyone i know to watch it not to be entertained but to be because sometimes we all need to be,positive
this movie was chosen quite frankly as a pig in a poke from our local video store it turned out to be quite a pig the plot line such as it is was disjointed inconsistent and predictable the actors constantly looked embarrassed to be the poorly written lines the only funny moment in the entire film around the dangers of smoking and the of an the remainder of the film lacked the punch to either of my young daughters aged less than ten years myself my wife my mother in law or even the cat or the dog my advice if you are tempted to borrow this turkey is to save your money and your time look for something else,negative
i know it has the name sinatra in the title so how bad can it be well it's bad trust me i rented this thinking it was some movie i missed in the theaters it's not it's some garbage movie made by the folks at showtime cable station these cable stations make a few bucks they think they can make whatever garbage movies they want it's not good i am as big a sinatra fan as any sane man but this movie was just dumb boring dull unfunny uninteresting the only redeeming quality is that assuming they did stick to the facts you do learn about what happened to the of frank jr otherwise it's just a stupid film,negative
not sure i've ever seen a black comedy from before but this is quite good actually the humor is suitably low key and deadpan to go with some of the gruesome activity and are fed up with working for their boss because he's always putting them down in fact he mentions that they weren't bright enough to before at one point they do what they have to to start their own butcher shop and when a is accidentally locked in the overnight while a light they hit upon something that makes their butcher shop far more popular than their old in fact he's the one they sold their first to and it's partly his fault since he served them at a dinner at his house and the guests about it and showed up at and the next day is somewhat horrified what has done but it doesn't stop there has above his sad little existence to be someone of some popularity which is new for him and he doesn't want to let go of that so the continues to fill up with all manner of and at one point a small from the park though because ex boss thinks something is wrong is also haunted by his twin brother who lived in a for years in a coma and whom wanted the plug pulled on so he could get inheritance money to help open the shop when was taken off the he was much to horror and has a love interest too in who works at the cemetery neither nor are well individuals and so things start to spiral out of control the deadpan humor really makes this and while this isn't exactly laugh out loud material it certainly is amusing it is somewhat creepy though considering the cuts of meat and body parts casually lying around especially since these two take it all so matter of fact if you're a fan of black comedies this is recommended i liked it quite well myself 8 out of 10,positive
the 1977 animated live action hybrid version of travels or rather ' since he only gets as far as didn't get much of a release and it's not too difficult to see why michel comes up with some catchy tunes but they merely inspire don black to the likes of one simple fact remains no one here suffers from growing pains ' richard harris once again over in his passion for excessive makeup down the for far too much foundation this time in an effort to hide the fact he's at least 25 years too old for the role but at least he perhaps his larger than life for a performance made up mainly of the animation looks only slightly better than early morning french children's tv but peter film is not nearly as bad as it sounds – the use of real model sets for the animated characters back to max and dave 1939 version while a couple of moments of satire do remain although it's definitely aimed at the youngest of children,negative
well i have been to a british university in fact i went to the one in this very film and it was nothing like that this is a horrible badly made and acted film worst thing is it could have been really good if they bothered to spend more that on it in fact if it really wanted to represent true british students it should off acted like one and took out a 15 thousand pound it says nothing about life where was the bush diving the tea drinking till the endless about group dynamics where was the diversity and fun maybe i'm just being romantic but i don't remember week being that awful and i'm and in the end the question still remains a bed or a wardrobe,negative

first i don't see how the movie is on any best list or how it won any awards compared to la which is also on a best list la is gold this movie lacked so many things on so many different levels but i can't quite explain why i disliked it so much the lead actor was annoying i felt as though i never knew what was going on and i was bored even though this was supposed to be some worthwhile life change that pierre was starting i wanted it to end as soon as possible why did it have to be his sister and cousin ugh and why did get mean he just turned mean and also was it me or did i miss the whole purpose of what that guy in black was all about who were all those people playing music in the big basement of the big warehouse why did they have all that weird equipment and the guns and all those extra rooms for people to live in i mean this in all seriousness but does incest happen a lot in french culture european culture i took 5 years of learning about the culture and i never heard anything about that,negative
this version of the magic is not only the worst production of great opera that i have ever seen it is also the worst video production i have seen of any opera br br i'm a big opera fan and i have more opera on dvd than movies the sets are cheap and cheesy doesn't even have a bird costume he is just dressed like some guy the sound is in the color is really bad it is in orange most dvd's from this period have the color restored but they did not bother with this one also the language has been changed to swedish instead of the original german br br this is not a movie version of the magic it is a filmed performance and it is not a good performance and it was not filmed very well you can pick any other available dvd of this opera and i guarantee it will be better than this one my is for the version by james with sets by david,negative
maybe this was an important movie and that's why people rank it so highly but honestly it isn't very good in it's easy to see that chaplin probably all of hollywood was incredibly naive about the of what was really going on in the so you can't fault him too much for the that affects a modern viewer but the remains br br more the movie is just clunky it's as if chaplin had no idea that movies had progressed in sophistication since the silent era the set pieces those involving both the jewish and the dictator don't flow into each other they just sit there like of storyline that progress in fits and starts moving somewhere but never arriving at resolution some are funny some less so br br what charm the movie has is strictly in the person of chaplin himself his parodies of hitler's speeches were the best part of the whole thing and there's no denying that he had a physical grace that was delightful to watch but virtually everything he surrounded himself with was annoying hannah was too damn american the storm troopers were too damn american br br one more thing i don't know what purpose was served by having garbage be the source of evil behind the throne it almost seems like the film is saying that if it weren't for influences like garbage wouldn't have been that bad a guy,negative
angels and demons 3 out of 10 clearly something bad has happened to ron howard i don't know what exactly but something has gone very wrong br br howard has always been a decent director while he will never be mistaken for an artistic both cinderella man and apollo 13 were excellent films was pretty good and even angels and demons prequel sequel the da code was a fun romp in addition none of his films have been downright awful note i have seen neither how the grinch stole christmas nor his film says no to plastic whats more howard managed to hold this quality is such genres as star driven oscar bait a beautiful mind star driven costume drama far and away star driven revenge fantasy and comedies about prostitution and night shift br br angels and demons is at its center a poorly directed and shot film scenes are too dark camera angles are all wrong the actors block each others shots and the whole affair is often out of focus this makes the telling of an already confusing story even more muddled br br dan brown gets picked on a lot but i found the da code a fun romp so sue me the movie version of the da code kept the same where are they going to next vibe of the book and added an attractive cast and attractive location shooting br br angels and demons however takes place in the claustrophobic confines of city and since howard wasn't allowed to film in many of the real locations we end up with a lot of running around a cgi back lot the entire film is as if rick did a city special and instead of actually visiting the holy city and pointing his camera rick had to use and a second hand art book with all the tits br br while the da code had what i still think is an intriguing central mystery again sue me demons and angels story consists of a plot by the roll eyes now to destroy the their idea was to take positions in schools for the deaf around the world and every student in the ass repeatedly my bad apparently the doesn't need any help on that one br br anyway their plan is to large kill the head priest and steal three of anti matter this begs more than a few questions can the create anti matter can you capture the anti matter once created why is the collecting it perhaps they fear a godzilla attack why is the head of anti matter gathering a priest now once they get the anti matter they are going to use its incredible destructive power to take over the no just kidding unfortunately the haven't quite that and the brain level of sophistication just yet instead the current has just died and it's time the top for the final four are all kidnapped and the are killing them one by one seven style they being good sports however are leaving clues at every murder like some latin themed oh and the last kidnapped has the anti matter and if he isn't found in time rick will have to go straight to next year to see decent if only there was some latin themed batman to save the okay the story is truly awful and it is poorly told but maybe this is one of those films saved by great performances a true character okay you know where this is going tom hanks gives an incredibly wooden performance and simply looks awful he is also to old to play the character by about twenty years his love interest israeli actress has zero chemistry with either hanks or the screen ewan plays the personal assistant boy as an irish man who looks like he is about to break into a musical number at any moment providing no one steals his lucky charms br br on the plus side puts in a fine turn as head of security and as far as we know no deaf children were raped during the making of this film which puts it ahead of its critics in at least one area,negative
first of all the genre of this movie isn't comedy it's more of a drama br br i had low expectations on the movie and still they didn't come up them as some of the other reviews point out there are some nice music in the movie but if you want to listen to good music i suggest spend the time looking at some concert recording with bon or it'll be more quality time br br last if you want to watch a good movie in this genre i recommend almost famous,negative

at first sight the man seems like several other movies books rolled into one the trial the fall and rise of and day instantly spring to mind a man arrives in a city where he is immediately given a job in an office and finds a beautiful new girlfriend however there's a catch his colleagues are all friendly bland and utterly and everyone he knows including his girlfriend seems to have only one topic of conversation interior design welcome to the hell of modern in which people throw themselves from buildings and no one raises an or spend their days reading furniture and eating food that tastes of nothing br br quickly realises his and spends the rest of the film trying to escape in various ways suicide turns out not to be an option and when he finds a new girlfriend she is just as of feelings as the old one there is a wonderful scene in a restaurant where he asks her to move in with him and all she can say is 'i don't br br in fact much of what the man has to say has been said before and after about 45 minutes you begin to feel that you indeed are experiencing a certain sense of yet its point is one that is probably worth repeating over and over again an life is one that is not worth living added to which it provides a decidedly modern take on the theme of how capitalism is destroying our souls more than one character reminded me of people i've known especially his furniture obsessed girlfriend and if by the end of the film the film makers have run out of ideas maybe that's the point there will no end unless you can find other people who share your sense of alienation,positive
as other reviews have said another of the countless number of alien this time with a great of the terminator thrown in add a bit of the classic sf story who goes there and a insanely stupid plot device lifted from the strain apparently flashing red lights make killer unable to scared people standing three away from them br br ok the story after a sequence of people running around in a space ship and killing each other we get a br br 25 years later br br the crew of a station mars due to be in 48 hours a space ship on a course it's the the ship we saw in the opening sequence not a good time to have taken everything useful off line on the station to do some then the approaching ship doesn't from its course and is a do not under any circumstances enter this ship warning after a lot of shouting at each other the crew of the station something together and get the station out of the way just in the nick of time but the ship changes course and them any way one of the crew on a stick crew thing the satellite starts to loose integrity bits de lots more shouting and running about in which only two crew people are sucked out into space backwards why are they always sucked out backwards br br after a few the wheelchair bound who is called the only only joke in the whole movie that the is them of all their power and they need to go aboard her and switch off its they all go on board and take their off do not enter this ship obviously means get on board the ship and expose yourself to possibly fatal one team head for the main computer room where they find a dead frozen guy what looks like an american express card but turns out to be a the other team find some switches amazingly the dead bloke turns out to be the father of the attractive female crew member voted most likely to survive an encounter with a alien they switch the off but this means the ships will explode a spooky point of view shot starts killing people there's some about the having discovered an new a power source worth millions which mean the more members of the crew immediately thrust themselves into danger to get hold of it the shot returns with walking noises on the soundtrack unfortunately these give you the idea the killer is wearing and the effect is wasted br br after that it's all just running around and getting killed in order of and acting ability until only the obvious survivors survive along with the cute dog which had managed to lead at least two crew members to their deaths just why space hardened veterans wander into the jaws of certain death looking for their pets cats and dogs has long been a mystery of this kind of movie other stupid highlights include everyone forgetting to act the falling levels of until reminded by the voice of the on board computer not that the low levels of in any way any of the impressive fires this load of idiots start if the killer id so clever it can steer the ship in a tight and have another go at the station why didn't it turn off the do not under any circumstances enter this ship warning i'm sure if it was looking for more people to kill then yelling go away was not a good way of going about it br br is the only person who gets to do any acting everyone else just their all the time while their teeth and shouting and pointing guns at each other it that sort of script full of marks the only thing that kept me watching till the end was the hope that the script demand she take all her clothes off or get wet while not wearing a lot unfortunately it didn't one of the things wrong with this movie apart from it having more put on screen than in any other movie ever is that there was no gratuitous nudity,negative
this is a truly awful film lou diamond phillips simply calls this one in the use of models of the train are laughable the plot seems to develop on the run there is an alien on board oh and an terrorist is on board too oh and the conductor is dead and the train is out of control oh and the train is going to run into another train one hour ahead oh and that train has nuclear waste on it i mean come on really the alien monsters are not scary although there are a lot of them and the acting is abysmal check out the guy playing the next president do you really think he could be president for goodness sake he has spent his whole acting career playing bad guys,negative
this movie is very silly and very funny you can't ever criticize it for taking itself seriously if you've heard their previous album or seen their hbo videos from the album you can imagine the extremely foul mouthed good time that is this movie which tells the fable of how the group d came to be formed br br full of cameos it not only gives a fictional account of d but is a send up of musical history as well the humor reminds one of something about mary in that they often go places you'd thought they wouldn't but it lacks the humor of south park this movie contains no nudity except for,positive
this is a typically fast moving entertaining movie of the early 1930s when you have james cagney in the lead these pre code films are even better just fun stuff to watch usually when films are dated it's a negative but not so with films from 1930 1934 yeah with the and the attitudes dress etc they are dated but that's a big part of the fun these films have an edge to them that almost always are fun to view br br they also have a which is appealing and fascinating you see people like the juvenile in this film and their goofy parents that you just don't see in any period but this one early early on this movie the kids go before the judge and you sit and just laugh at these crazy characters that appear in court on behalf of their kids one after the other yes we get the stereotypical emotional italian father the jewish dad the mom and a few other who all in dramatic form theirs is a good boy even though things are predictable in some cases you don't mind because everyone in here is so much fun to watch br br this also teaches you that kids were 75 years ago too stealing robbing lying hey that's the human condition this movie the theory that people were back in the old days no people have always been rotten or good the degree was aided by their environment parents financial situation and other things here we get a bunch of dead end kids who wind up in school br br the ridiculous and liberal storyline has kids acting immediately like angels once they run the show at the school not in the slightest for causing a man to fall to his death and setting the institution on fire the explanation he was a and deserved it so much for real justice and and shooting a guy bit never having to even be by police because he's the good guy notice the subtle anti religious dig in which the only guy seen praying is the evil warden that's no coincidence no accident that sort of negative association things has been going on ever since the code was in the late '60s and was seen as you see hear in the pre code early br br dudley by the way is outstanding in his bad guy role of mr i especially his voice was very effective and could picture him playing one of those similarly evil roles as an institution boss in a charles dickens film adaptation cagney played his normal role the take no tough guy who gets the pretty girl dorothy griffith played by blake frankie also was effective as the leader of the boys jimmy smith just the looks on face alone made his character believable some thing he was the real star of the film but i'll still go with cagney the rest of the school kids weren't too believable and they were really ethnic stereotypes but they were all fun to watch br br i thought the most interesting part of the film was the first 20 minutes when we saw how bad these kids were and witnessed the good and bad and stereotypical parents in the court after the kids were arrested those scenes are pure 1930s dead end kids stuff they always showed the kids to be bad news at the beginning of the film but by the time the story was over they all looked acting more like and hardly rough it's very far fetched but it works entertainment wise br br overall a hokey but very entertaining movie typical of cagney films and those of the early almost all of them rate at least eight stars for their entertainment value,positive

having just watched i find that i have to agree with the negative reviews here i like asian and korean horror and i had great expectations for this film man was i disappointed watching this i kept thinking surely they just do this to catch me off guard later on and for a while i expected something ingenious to happen however i slowly realised that the film really is that bad it is the cash in into the asian horror market i have seen so far br br the basic story is perhaps not even that bad but the way it is filmed it seems like the most laughable plot ever the tree as a device might be okay if used cleverly but all the filmmaker does is giving us different shots of yes a tree over and over again he seems to hope that the tree will do all the work for him in terms of tension and build up but it just feels like what it is shots of a tree for sake br br slow build ups can be very effective and a film that presents the viewer with only few glimpses of what is wrong might deliver good scares but not sure we get a glimpse of a child on a disappearing around a corner and yet again meaningful shots of the tree from above or underneath or the side but these scenes are just not scary they feel silly especially because you realise that the director means them to be scary they simply aren't br br apart from that i agree with some of the other reviewers that the characters are ridiculous in particular the one character's into is laughable however what really breaks is the terrible editing its hard to see why scenes were cut together the way they are but it's bad and it kills any spark of it might have had it also makes me feel because i can see what they are trying to achieve with it but i cannot believe that they think i would fall for such cheap br br there are lots of great asian ghost films and lots of bad ones but this is by far the worst i have seen they must have been going through the list of to put into ghost and them all off but in the end they forgot to add the actual movie,negative
the movie opens with a scene that simply could not be a man wakes up and while his wife remains in bed he begin his morning in his bedroom while his wife sleeps morning are but only the ones finds controversial the rest are conveniently then while in and a he kisses his wife good morning this is not an accurate depiction of jewish in any home let alone a home is not interested in accurately portraying life he is interested in adding to his ever growing list of melodramatic and empty films the ritual bath scenes are far from accurate and his jewish wedding was laughable as it does not even approach the atmosphere of a wedding i have many problems with the way of life but i have no use for commentary on these issues he would have you think that the are all dense with severe of depression i may not agree with the lifestyle but i acknowledge that life has many layers is by his own pseudo intellectual and is therefore incapable of portraying an accurate of life aside from his poor research and portrayal of life fails in other aspects as well the plot is full of holes the dialogue loaded with silence the soundtrack is too repetitive and the acting while at times was too often loaded with melodrama the movie drags on and on and the ending is not worth sticking around for watch if you must but be warned if you want to learn about life go to the and talk to do not rely on film,negative
even though i am slightly older than the recommended age group i really enjoyed this movie it's a little break from reality and it must be every little girls dream to become friends with a pop star i know it was mine to be sure the first 10 minutes were really cheesy and the mean girls said a few things that were also slightly cheesy once you get over that you can really start to enjoy it i loved the relationship between and jane it was really sweet and you could see how much they began to like each other the soundtrack is perfect and it fits into the film really well i also liked the family set up for jane her sisters seemed lovely very well made film,positive
this is one of those rare comedies where try as you might you can't help but giggle and yes even laugh out loud the lead actor's performance as hyde is pure manic genius see if you can keep a straight face when he does his transformation good luck on the downside there are times when the movie does down it seemed longer than its 90 minutes,positive
this film is a classic seventies cop flick that for some reason has been sadly overlooked it is basically french connection meets br br roy plays the head of an elite group of detectives known as the seven ups br br one of their men is discovered during an undercover and is killed br br and his team must find his killers they become involved in a battle with the mob br br the highlight of the film has to be the car chase obviously included to cash in on the success of however this car chase due to its length speed and sheer excitement it's a breathtaking roller coaster ride that ends rather unexpectedly and spectacularly don't miss this little gem,positive
its such a shame that an important film like this is virtually unknown br br i don't think alan bates has done a better film than this br br its never shown on television the only time i can recall it being shown on british tv was in the summer of 1998 i have it on tape but sadly the quality isn't great due to a dodgy at the time br br i remember wanting to see this film for some time before it appeared on tv it was shown on channel 4 in the early hours of the morning thereby that it still remained unseen except for a very small audience br br i was living in at the time and it was ironic that when i finally saw the film i realised that i had walked past the very house where it was filmed several times before the film a fine line a married couple attempting to make light of their tragic of with their severely mentally handicapped daughter by laughing about it and even involving the child in their jokes br br the direction and the acting are so superb that the film is always compassionate and moving and is never in danger of into bad taste br br a couple of years ago i saw a clip of the filmed theatre production with eddie izzard in the role of and victoria hamilton playing sheila br br it showed izzard and about and hamilton telling the audience to ignore him when he's being like this br br i maybe taking this out of context as i only saw a brief clip but having read the play and seen the film this is clearly such a delicate subject that such an approach is both and br br izzard was praised for his performance but i felt uncomfortable with what i saw br br it is perhaps surprising that such a successful play failed to find an audience when it was finally filmed br br this is one of the best british films of the 70s and hopefully it will be released on dvd one day,positive

i have not read a time to kill by john and perhaps that would have helped understand the film better but perhaps not i hear this is the most faithful adaption yet and if that is true i can see why so many turned down the novel when introduced it as his first work br br a time to kill is one of those films that is seriously confused and wants to do too many things at once it wants to be a suspenseful crowd pleasing thriller and at the same time a film dedicated to exploring certain social and moral questions let's face it those two types of films do not go together in hollywood which is why dead man walking had to be made br br the story involves a young lawyer named jake matthew out to defend a black man named carl samuel l jackson from murdering two that brutally raped his young daughter the day before the trial carl in a closet in the and when the were brought through the building he charged out and shot both of them dead to help out with the defense jack accepts the help of a former law student sandra who proves that her role in this film was totally unnecessary and put in the film only for marketing purposes br br meanwhile one of the kid brother sutherland was that a black man killed his brother and decided to act out a revenge all of this leads to a shooting in front of the a kidnapping a brutal beating and race riot i'll admit that all of this held my attention greatly throughout the film in addition to the courtroom scenes what i later to was the film's handling of questions and its use of in the plot br br the main question that the film constantly asks over and over again is whether a black man gets a fair trial from a white jury sure they can but that doesn't mean that the man has to be in order for the trial to be fair this film however doesn't seem to think so besides that there several holes in the plot used for for example there is an unknown character called mickey mouse who is a member of the and for reasons unknown is helping the members of the defense team escape from serious dangers of the other members of the after is kidnapped by sutherland and company and left for dead in the wilderness this unknown person comes and saves her and we never find out who he is and why he is helping out the people he should be br br and speaking of the sutherland character's reign of terror it's amazing how witless the police and the character are in stopping him throughout the film there's a scene when sutherland becomes a sniper from a building across the street from the and tries to shoot jake as he comes out shooting one of the guards instead now you'd think since there are dozens of police around it would be easy to surround and capture the sniper no such luck from what we could see no one seemed to even care that a sniper was still on the loose even after was rescued by mickey mouse she never ever mentioned who her was nor was it even why was this simple the sutherland character was needed throughout the film to add suspense although he should have been out of the picture br br besides character there another character he is assistant played by oliver there seems to be one reason for his character to be in the movie to supply a number of one liners for the audience in my opinion one liners show a major weakness in serious films when used it demonstrates that the filmmakers are not confident that the story and dialogue alone are enough to keep the audience's attention and so use them to make the audience laugh to everyone that they are watching an entertaining film br br but enough of the film's many minor problems what about the film's message here it is clear that carl is indeed guilty of murder we saw how he planned for hours to murder the men who raped his daughter the lawyers argue that it was temporary insanity etc that caused him to kill in desperation jake asks the jury to close their eyes as he the rape in detail as part of his closing after describing everything that took place he adds on one final line the girl is white we then see members of the jury with tears in their eyes br br in the very next scene a girl comes out yelling he's free he's free wait a minute do base their on their emotions or on the facts most of all why weren't there any scenes that showed the jury and what they were really thinking after their emotions worn off i'll tell you why they couldn't show the because no jury could a man of such a crime no matter how much the closing touched their hearts what is the message that someone is justified in killing if it is a form of revenge for a previous crime done to them br br this film should have had the courage to say that murder is not ok in this situation because in reality there would not be an but since dollars were at stake the filmmakers were more concerned about the feelings than they were about presenting a responsible message if people start killing as a form of revenge the makers of this film should be held responsible what a socially irresponsible film this is,negative
this is total if you take the devil's rejects and suck all the good out of it and add a lot of twisted kinky bondage parts a few rape scenes and like one or two sincerely horrifying scenes and you'd get this movie people are calling this a ripoff of the but i don't see that at all even the worst are still better than this the main problem on display here is that there's really nothing here besides a few of the director's being like circus is all you need out of a movie shots of girls being abused and tied up in fear well then rent this movie br br however i'd rather just watch a good movie which this is clearly not the sad thing is there are some really good thrills waiting to be here but only a few for instance the suspense at the beginning before the bondage nonsense started pretty damn good if you ask me and the scene where the kills the girl can't remember names is chilling very brutal in a way challenging even the devil's rejects for fury how come the rest of the movie can't be that good huh i really need to stop renting stupid crap like this closing message just let this trash die and forget it forever not recommended,negative

go get your camcorder your little brother and the disturbing neighbor next door who throws water on and you got yourself a film well that's what these guys thought anyway it was so bad i can't even remember the majority of it except for flashbacks comparable to someone who in despite the really corny title the horrible quality the terrible actors and the cliché writing i think this movie isn't the worst i've ever seen i'm saving that for everything with steven seagal chuck norris and jean claude van anyhow if you are out of when it comes to finding new horror films that you haven't seen 1 000 times already as i was and you are this one i would still skip this it had absolutely no redeeming qualities this mock serial killer thriller was a weak attempt at an even b film if they're really lucky it might make the wal mart 4 50 bin but i highly doubt it,negative
and again i find myself in the minority br br i didn't like this one this is the only work i haven't including slam ernest rates the credit for being the worst of the line but this is a clear for that dubious title br br this work is too rough and too base to be lovable was one of key and this element was completely lost unfortunately most think this is the best of the line but if you loved the essence of what made ernest ernest you will realize to what i refer about fifteen minutes into this work it was too blatantly base to be fun br br it rates a 3 5 10 from br br the fiend,negative
what in the world this piece of gambling cinema would have been suitable for the lifetime network michael is a good actor but i think his portrayal as fell short the montages were unbearable and too many the supporting cast where are you whoever did the casting should be partially at fault the cinematography was useless a gambling story with an after school feel to it stories of this sort should be left for the oliver of the world it would still suck ass but at least it would be fun to watch it was an attempt that lost it's before the race ever begun mario in the 1982 500 came to mind,negative
the origin of the lone ranger it shows who he was and how and why he became the ranger br br legendary bomb the idea was not a bad one and introduce the lone ranger for 1980s audiences right off the bat though there were problems the studio ordered moore the original ranger to stop appearing anywhere as the lone ranger it led to a nasty little battle that made i know of people who refused to see the film because of how moore was treated also they hired the to play the ranger was very handsome and muscular but had absolutely no charisma and just couldn't act in fact his whole vocal performance was by another actor also his off screen antics public and beating people up didn't help matters acting aside the script is dull and slow also the ranger himself doesn't show up until an hour in there were some complaints at the time that the movie was too violent for a pg however i don't think it was that bad br br there are a few very few things done right here the photography was truly beautiful michael horse was excellent as christopher lloyd is lots of fun as the villain and when the lone ranger finally shows up with the william tell from the soundtrack it's really rousing but all in all this is a boring and terrible attempt to bring back the lone ranger it's easy to see why this bombed a 4 mostly for the photography,negative

it's hard to believe that a movie this bad wasn't produced once but four times most movies require a certain suspension of to enjoy but this one takes it just too far the basic scenario is an air force pilot who is shot down over a middle country the us government drags its feet in recovering him leading the son doug masters to attempt a rescue mission br br the problem i have with the movie is that it depicts the us air force as one joke in the movie you'll find that doug and his friends on the air base manage to secure two f all the the fuel the for the mission and so on security on this base seems to be a joke nobody seems to have a problem that a sixteen year old kid is fully to pilot an f 16 br br if that wasn't enough you would think the producers would at least attempt to get the right since people like to see things blow not so several times in the movie doug fires off aim 9 on ground targets aim stands for air meaning a weapon used to strike targets in the air he also fires off 15 20 where the maximum an f 16 can hold is 6 aim the movie also lacks continuity you'll see the aircraft with one set of and in the next scene it has a totally different package also doesn't just completely destroy anything it touches an f 16 will hold 500 rounds of and it's mostly used for self defense br br i could go on forever with plot holes flaws and outright wrong information from the movie but i won't bore you if you're in the mood to see a good air force movie your choices are rather slim most military movies deal either with the army navy or marines until hollywood can come up with an air force movie on the lines of saving private or a few good we'll be forced to watch movies like the iron series br br,negative
stealing is a crime and these guys kenny and corbin bernsen look like their going to get away with it i haven't even seen this film but not only do i know it sucks but the fact that it steals the story of another film or 2 films for that matter is such bull crap and if imdb would allow profanity much more than just bull crap that i become filled with rage and feel as though i should just throw myself out the window and just end it all o k that's a little much but stealing is worse br br ever seen it was this awesome little zombie film made in 2008 this radio host goes into work and then this zombie attack happens we only see what's going on inside the radio station and the only guess we have on what's happening on the outside are the occasional calls from their eye in the sky ken easily the funniest moment in the film in my mind and the bbc calling in for an update on the situation from all the reviews i've read and from the conversation i had with my friend who has seen this film and this film was exactly like it in the story with minor here and there so throw originality and creativity out the window as for the zombies or the infected whatever you want to call them they are the exact same thing just because they got infected does not change the fact that they walk around and have a never ending for flesh they are zombies zombies br br zombies okay one to many but back to this crappy movie the zombies from what i've heard are a lot like the ones in 28 days later another better movie with their insane rage and even more insane of flesh this is where zombie movies define themselves story does not matter in a zombie movie as long as your not taking the idea of another film sure a zombie movie can be enhanced by the story as is the case with but the zombies have to be in a way original 28 days later started the insane raging zombie i can't even begin to explain those guys without ruining the film the evil dead i think all i have to do is just type the name again because come on it's the evil dead romero is the master and he went through all different types of zombies from the painted face zombies in dawn of the dead to raging zombies in diary of the dead and he did each one with his own unique style br br so after talking about other great zombie movies i think it's about time i explain why i hate this movie without even seeing it this movie down right steals the original story outline to which i think is called and is illegal in this country and many people get kicked out of school for doing this very thing yet in hollywood it's allowed and apparently of this is not the only film that takes the outline of another movie and just tries to tell it differently the 90's is like the worst period for movies ever sure it had some gems but what decade doesn't and it's because all the movies were the exact same my favorite the crime movie with a twist so big that you'll never guess it till the very end they force feed you one suspect make it seem impossible that it's not anybody else but him then all this time it was this guy you just had to look at the scenes where he wasn't there and then when he would mysteriously show up out of the blue say hey guys what did i miss oh didn't see that coming did ya well i'll leave a cliché as my closing statement this is one film you'll surely want to miss,negative
i loved this movie i saw it when i was about 8 years old and almost seven years later this evening i got to see it again i really thought it had an interesting idea they only thing that upset me was the ending which i felt was a cop out here it's hard to find this movie and i was lucky enough to have seen it on bravo i also expected to see more drew barrymore in here too,positive
i was born in china and moved to the united states at the age of 9 been home to several times since and loved it each time one of the many things i love about is the people and the ambiance they bring to the city you which translate more accurately to if you have something to say say it nicely delightfully and captures that feeling of i suppose you would have to have lived in and kinda understood and its people to get the most out of this movie though you might enjoy it regardless br br the story is not complicated intentionally kinda quirky and captivating i will leave it to unfold by itself and not tell you too much except some comments each detail from the pictures on the wall to the the streets and feels like home zhang most likely shot everything on location but more importantly the characters our hero the girl the kind hearted but unfortunate man and the night club owner are each native to and lovable in their distinct ways their conversations really capture the essence of each character the story mostly driven by situations and conversation save the brilliant near the end is intriguing and always interesting br br i am 21 now my parents and i love this movie we are always so amazed by zhang ability to ordinary people into believable screen characters and everyday life into extraordinary situations br br keep cool different hilarious meaningful,positive
if you consider yourself a horror movie fan chances are you've seen ring and dark water they're superb and making its way smoothly into hollywood maybe dark water will be adapted soon too while ring is almost 100 pure heart and nerve breaking a tale of two sister is both nerve breaking and mind br br along with the other i consider this korean flick a brilliant and smart ending horror movie the only flaw this movie has is some consider its first 20 minutes rather slow it's actually typical with korean and japanese movies i consider it carefully planned rather than slow think of it as calm moment before the storm with introduction of characters imho viewer will get involved more with the character one of korean and japanese movies strongest point br br like ring a tale of two sister doesn't ghastly appearance rather they let our mind do the job itself that way it's and classy at the same time i won't be surprised if hollywood remakes this movie after bringing ring and grudge on over this flick is not that good by the way i rate it 5 5 don't miss it,positive
this was an abysmal show in short it was about this kid called doug who guilt a lot seriously he could feel guilty over killing a fly then feeling guilty over feeling guilty for killing the fly and so forth the animation was grating and unpleasant and the jokes cheap br br it aired here in sweden as a part of the disney time show and i remember liking it some what but then i turned 13 br br i never got why some of the characters were green and purple too what was up with that br br truly a horrible show it a movie which i've never seen but i don't have any great expectations for that one either,negative
i had watched this on italian tv as a kid and recall being fond of it – in view of its mixing live action with animation however it was universally at the catching up with it again after all these years i have to admit that the critics were right br br what must have seemed wondrous to a child's eyes is actually very poorly done not to mention boring for a fantasy adventure both star ex young man' richard harris and director action expert hunt are ill suited to the material at least michel score with lyrics provided by scriptwriter don black is – if not exactly inspired by the way a number of well known personalities are featured among the voice artists on this british co production julian glover love murray robert graham stark and this being his last film work michael bates br br while the essential plot points of jonathan classic novel becomes the in a war between the little people of two countries and on escaping ends up in a land of real giants do emerge here it's done on a strictly kiddie level with stereotyped characters though thankfully little of the comic romantic variety – which the whole venture somewhat pointless outside of its experimental nature since max and dave had already done a splendid feature length cartoon version of the book way back in 1939,negative
i watched this movie because of and lauren holly i them together on so it was a treat to see them together again this was not the best movie ever made but it was cute very predictable but sometimes fun movies are just what i need br br the were gorgeous and i wanted to eat all of them i did love it when that one fell apart though i bet it still good br br and lauren still had the great chemistry that they had back on and i as they in this movie br br i wouldn't watch this again but it was a great filler for one night,positive
i thought the movie was sub par the acting was good but not great the story was funny but did not come out that way the director dropped the ball on this movie it was not james jim or tea imho it was the music that killed it there is a scene where things go down hill and cash music is playing man was that depressing not funny killed my mood after that the movie could not recover the scene had potential funny situation good acting good set up i even but the music again was to the scene the music kept me from being pulled in to the movie br br i say it had potential but was poorly done i would even say rushed into final production kind of reminiscent of the prequel to the exorcist the beginning the theater release was good i though so after watching it but the movie release exorcist was a lot better same story just different director same should be done here,negative
my two daughters ages 11 and 13 and i were lucky enough to see a screening of this movie last night we were all pleasantly surprised to see how entertaining and funny this movie was david duchovny was very appealing as the male lead and driver gave her usually competent performance some of the scenes are laugh out loud funny especially one scene driver has with a fellow transplant i liked the fact that it was a movie that i could watch with my children and i wasn't embarrassed by any scene whatsoever everyone in the movie theater was laughing and enjoying themselves thumbs up bonnie hunt,positive
i was sorely disappointed in this movie twice i was to walk out because segments of the movie were so and depressing the movie has elements that to all the things in life pornography murder suicide hatred gang the graphic nature of the violence in this movie was particularly disturbing br br and richard does a great to the lds church in portraying attitudes commitment and as and br br my biggest to this movie however was that it is the exact opposite of a feel good movie br br god's army one was okay his city was quite good this movie in terms of casting acting and drama was his best but in terms of being inspiring or uplifting it was as awful as it could be in fact this movie so me that i am sorry i went i have lost interest in ever again supporting in an lds themed movie with a ticket purchase,negative
for those of you who've wondered what an art house monster movie might be like wonder no more the trilogy circa 1966 was just such a series more period samurai epics than anything else these three movies just also happen to feature one of the most literally monstrous et ever there's not a single of these gems that is from the scenario s to the performances to the even the special effects are handled with well above average skill and are integrated in most instances almost into the movie s if you're a fan or a fan of samurai movies or one of us who just likes a good movie regardless of genre i highly recommend the trilogy,positive
to tell you the truth i do not speak and i did not understand the film my good friend wow what a long name explained every thing to me what a great movie after watching this movie i felt i should have watched many more movies from film industry the war scenes were amazing camera work excellent and plot beautiful the actress what a beauty give her an award for best looking someone come on i smell a oscar winner i didnt understand the songs but they were excellent is a great director and i hope his next film was a success,positive
this is the most pitiful excuse for a comedy show i've ever seen i'm that this guy was given his own show it of complete and utter desperation on the part of comedy central trying to fill the void left by the talented and dave he's a tip from bag of comedy gold is a punchline not funny need to give it that extra push into hilarity f ing yell it at the top of your simple no and as an added bonus finish half your jokes with then you're re or duh du oh man so funny hilarious does the laughter ever stop br br to illustrate my point in a more cerebral way i'll an example jokes about how retarded it is to new orleans because it's so close to the water genius the line of distinction between a great comedian and a hack has never been drawn so clearly while a good comedian would find hidden humor in the tragedy finding subtle ways of a joke into something that we can all laugh at and take in ned goes for the obvious move the city great wait is that funny ned doesn't have the intellectual capacity to find the deepest meaning of things the didn't the city ned the project was and in serious need of federal dollars and behold they broke i guess that's god's way of telling us we shouldn't be there after all he's got a seat in what a fool br br was a master of turning a tired racial comedic spin on its head he was at it and at all points we were laughing with him while talks about black people not being able to swim yawn took it 300 further with the black and blind white you don't have to be to be edgy you have to be original br br and his of fans are like that gay dude who laughs all too at gay jokes thinking it somehow masks his own except of course with ned he's laughing all too at the du du,negative
eric roberts stars in this tommy lee thomas debut prison film he plays the leader of a corrupt ring of guards though evil by most people's standards his character is the kind of guy who is nice enough to give you supporting while you hang to the ceiling as he you with lethal weapon electric br br the movie has an intricate plot about prison corruption that makes absolutely no sense thomas has clint eastwood's eyes dolph one liners the acting abilities of and the body of the guy you knew in school who took after br br martin career shares this low point with roberts in the film it is difficult to tell if character is supposed to be drunk for the entire movie or if just came that way i couldn't blame him if he did br br fortunately for all involved this movie has a so bad that it's good quality that can be fun if you have absolutely nothing better to do,negative
paul muni and bette davis while studio hack seems distracted and oblivious in this provocative film that its bittersweet ending by attitudes heavy handed and poorly constructed the film under its own weight within the first fifteen minutes with an out of control courtroom scene that it never from as mr muni begins to chew up scenery by the yard and howling away in an almost incoherent fashion br br johnny is a mexican american from the other side of the tracks who through determination and a law degree from a store front night school in his first big case involving an auto accident he displays only and is quickly made to look the fool by his well opponents and an judge who he be by the an angry johnny takes on a job at a gambling joint where he is by the owner charlie eugene palette who likes his style the owner cuts him in on the place but problems with mrs davis who also wants a piece of johnny she kills charlie johnny and slowly goes mad before he is and free to be with a high society who explains to him that they are from different savage and it will never work when she to escape his rage she is run over and killed by a car sells the casino and moves back to his poor neighborhood that its best to stay with your own br br in addition to this appalling denouement has a series of bad performances to compliment the overall of the story unfair as his plight might be is so and arrogant it becomes hard to show sympathy for such a bull headed davis is no better as the less than loyal wife matching the same adolescent emotions of muni her lady mad scenes give no indication that she was about to become the best film actress of her era margaret lindsay as american dream is cold remote and flat br br bad as is and it is very it remains an interesting of the times and acceptable attitudes the rest is just a of bad acting and uninspired direction,negative
loving the fairy as a child and recently having seen some intriguing documentaries on this odd though brilliant author i eagerly looked forward to see this made for tv film unfortunately the experience was nothing but a disappointment leaving me in anger and confusion first of all the story script is filled with inaccuracies and downright fantasies and in this way creating almost a completely new story while fairy tales presumably in order to sell the crap to like me secondly pretty boy actor really ever seen a picture of the real manages to portray hans christian as mentally retarded rather than the brilliant though very disturbed character he indeed was though annoying and irritating like is missing the required charisma to create any feelings of compassion what so ever the love story between and the fictional whom actually should be the wife of why this man has lived such an interesting life it should be enough as a foundation to a great movie br br i could continue this to be a very long list but feel it to simply recommend all of you to spend your time and money on something else instead,negative
i saw this movie a while ago and i was looking forward to it my biggest problem was having seen the trailer i was expecting a very stylish arts movie with plenty of action and maybe a bit of plot to think about along the way i was sorely disappointed as it would seem that once you have seen the trailer there is nothing else worth watching if what you are expecting is as described above my girlfriend at the time gave up half way through and whilst i continued to watch in the hope that something interesting might happen nothing did i found no or real interest in any of the characters i would say just don't bother unless you have a few hours of your life that you don't really care about losing,negative
this movie is very violent yet exciting with original dialog and cool characters it has one of the most moving stories and is very true to life the movie start off with action star leo as a down and out cop who is approaching the end of his career when he stumbles on to a big case that involves corruption black mail and murder this is where the killings start from start finish delivers in this must see action caper this movie also co stars richard br br i really enjoyed this film as a child but as i got older i realized that this film is pretty cheesy and not very good i would not recommend this film and the action is very very bad,negative
i didn't really care for this had they gotten rid of the comedy slapstick and focused on the dramatic philosophical aspects of the script this might have been worthwhile br br the more the film went on the less i liked the protagonist he does have interesting things to say but he's also a insecure jerk br br 3 10,negative
this may not be the worst movie ever made but it is absolutely the most boring wonder why it is shot mostly in the dark and mostly with vincent walking away from the camera or looking down because he doesn't want to show his face for actually to being in this movie i liked his early stuff but the of the brown bunny and then being cast in this drivel knocked him down a in my book and val kilmer i actually want to send him a sympathy card the doors to this actually the casting was the only reason i watched this movie and val doesn't even show up until the movie is more than halfway over simply a sad movie,negative
it's a shame that quality actors like baldwin and booth have to to lousy stories and scripts just for the money but hey it's a cruel world br br this is just another one of a long line of assassin thrillers that use all the usual narrative twists to try to make it appear more appealing than it is sure it has some nice locations it's a slick production there is some good camera work and editing and it's fairly well paced overall br br so what's the real problem quite simply the whole premise is just totally unbelievable however instead of spoiling a rotten story for you i'll let you find out what it's all about that is if you can get through it i managed but only because i like baldwin and i kept hoping that it would get better br br it didn't and it had one of the most anti climactic endings that i've seen for a long time in fact maybe never br br but it's harmless fun i guess if you've got nothing better to do,negative
i learned a thing you have to take this film like a funny period comedy if you don't want to be disappointed the film's enjoyable because it's a delicious comedy i think the over hype damaged it the too much monica appears in few scenes and isn't so good as they wanted to let you believe she sounds unnatural false the best actress in this film is sabrina who speaks with a perfect accent and shines together with is very very good the most promising young italian actor according to me daniel looks like but i preferred other actors so the most hyped performances were also the worst br br costumes and production design are okay sure american period movies are more accurate about these things because have bigger budgets but the italian ability the lack of money a nice period comedy in short with a first rate casting except for and,positive
i rarely shut a movie off after the first 10 minutes but that is what i did with this one what turned me off was it was so obvious that the only purpose of this movie was to expose as much skin of as many b actresses as possible and nothing else really matters br br don't get me wrong i like pretty actresses and sex scenes and movies have their own scale of merits but this director does nothing else right br br for example take the scene where the two cops of course one guy one gal and of course there is all this supposedly witty banter between them are talking over while standing over the first dead body the camera pans between them for each line there's more than one screen between them and you end up wondering whether you're from that or the clueless dialog br br well it might have gotten better after the first 10 minutes but i wouldn't know i the sucker bet and found something better to do,negative
i watched this show until my but still i found it to many situations that worry us when we're teenagers although it was a family oriented show until the mid 90's it focused more on the young adults and their situations br br that's why i loved step by step i mean it offered situations for every age and unlike many shows of it's kind it delivered expectations br br let's be honest this wasn't an extremely funny show no but it had some situations that you could feel related to but only funnier br br there was an extremely good charm between patrick and susan was tender and actually funny i was in love with because she was extremely sexy loved her legs and witty but mitchell stole the show with his cody character he was the man back in the day oh the memories nowadays this show wasn't been able to adequate correctly on the new generations and that's why it should be kept in the vault of memories that's it only memories br br thank you step by step for making my funnier,positive
would have to rate as one of the ten worst films i have ever seen the writing and direction show a stunning lack of imagination and i'm sure that most of the actors still cringe whenever anyone mentions this film br br it fails to work either as a tribute to unique talent or as an accurate account of his short life br br a pointless mess with no redeeming features,negative
we all know what chan park can do if you haven't seen or the sympathy trilogy for that matter you are missing out on some of the best films made this century but i'm not here to talk about them i'm here to talk about br br this movie is not what you would expect yes it is a vampire movie but at the same time it is also a very twisted tale of romance between a priest and a young girl i wont get into the synopsis you can read that above but instead tell you what this movie has to offer chan park is a master of cinematography and this movie is no exception with some very surreal scenes backed by intense lighting he sets the mood perfectly in almost every scene the movie does start a bit slow but i felt this was necessary to build a relationship with the characters once things start moving along it almost never lets up until the credits roll is a love story but not in the same sense that you would think the relationship between the lead characters is very intense but at the same time almost disturbing chan park is no stranger to controversy as we know and this film touches on taboo almost as much as the end scene is by far the most powerful in the movie and perhaps one of the best conclusions to a film i have seen br br overall this is an exceptional film that i feel all movie buffs should see it is an exciting and admittedly different take on the world of vampires and the romance is far from sappy or boring this movie is gritty and beautiful in all the wrong ways obviously it is not for everyone but chances are if you are reading this review you are already interested see it do not hesitate,positive
dreadful of the probably most notorious of all roman who went insane leaving infamous party and ruthless killings in his path i know there are several versions of this and this is based on the one that i watched but i can't how that possibly can make any difference to lift the rest of this movie out of the br br i'd heard for long about the alleged shocking content of sex nudity which honestly there isn't much of here at all and boring when there is and blood but beware it's the technical production that well and truly shocks here everything looks plain and simply like a junior film school project camera work is hopelessly inept full of strange failed framing and confusing pans to and from what mostly looks like a huge theater stage complete with a grainy photo quality lighting and color schemes are terrible and uneven is it day or night are they in or outside have they changed scenes who is or is meant to be in the shot editing is the final sin here making a confusing mess of everything with randomly continuity flaws and random transitions that destroy any chance of momentum story progression and involvement there is potentially interesting dialog and an equally interesting true historical story but these faults distract so much it's tragic br br a story with so many possibilities to be great is just one burnt and fellini like turkey that's only good for a few laughs and peter o'toole who makes a most memorable oh yes which brings us to the big name actors i'd like to line them all up one by one and just ask who did you get free access to in the to be a part of this there i've wasted enough lines on one of the truly worst films of all time period br br 1 out of 10 from,negative
i'd have to say that i've seen worse sci fi channel originals but this image from was still quite a drag the big problem with it is that it simply isn't convincing not just its creature but acting writing and any attempts at drama the direction lacks any kind of flair and the script from and danny never really works predictable often laughable whilst it delivers less than a fair few of these sorts of films it never offers anything to engage or raise the pulse the actors do their best but with such material their efforts have little effect matthew burke is a watchable hero meredith similar as a watchable love interest actually she was a bit less convincing but at least she was easy on the eyes the film at least has the dignity to bowl along at a reasonable pace but its biggest plus is that the isn't entirely cgi rendered so even though it doesn't look good at least there are a few scenes of characters with in pretty amusing fashion i also at the between different of the the cgi shots of the creature as a whole over the course of the film they are also different not only in size but appearance to the practical shots of it and there are scenes where the action suggests that the makers had abandoned pretending they were making a film about an and just their creature as a bunch of the scenes of the creature attacking people get old pretty but there are a few funny scenes where it takes on other things like a boat and a yes these scenes are poor but they did make me chuckle highlight though is a hilarious sequence in which the takes on a new york landmark the scene may not be much more than a minute but it really is inspired and well worth looking up on youtube apart from that things are uninspired all round a pg level lack of gore or stops this one from even pulling off much in the trash good times the film does take a turn into semi gripping disaster movie territory at the end but i can't really give it credit because the best shots in the last few scenes were from the stallone flick daylight which by my is quite good altogether this was pretty stuff and not something i'd really recommend to anyone except creature feature die better than a poke in the eye with a wet stick but not by much,negative
the new twenty is one of the worst films i have ever seen yes some may argue that formulaic small budget films that for less may seem worse but i would argue that a pseudo intellectual anti formulaic indie film that pretends to be more is worse br br the new twenty was written and directed by chris mason johnson and i will never get back the minutes of my life that i wasted on his film br br the screenplay characters br br from beginning to end the screenplay failed to provide an anti hero or hero with a moral core that the audience would want to see succeed or fail br br in story telling the three dramatic conflicts are man vs man man vs the world and man vs himself br br the screenplay focuses on a group of college friends in new york and is with the dynamic of man vs himself where each of the film's characters are so self absorbed in a of depression and self destructive behavior that the movie before the audiences very eyes br br each of the main characters in unexplained bad behavior heroin addiction with no history as to why the character is an addict a fiancée who has sex with her boss even though the character is written too smart to have sex with such a sleazy character a man who begins as a decent guy but is attracted to a foul mouthed and for some unknown reason into a similar foul mouthed business jackass a gay geek who does nothing but find dates online and a gay asian man who dates an hiv positive older man but has no scenes establishing why the relationship works and why love develops br br crucial scenes establishing the cause of the character's addiction the suffering and self loathing of the fiancée that might explain why she would sleep with a sleaze bag the back story that would explain why a decent guy would be attracted to a gordon type character and become a jackass a story line for the geek and more scenes of interaction between the asian man and hiv positive boyfriend are all missing br br without proper establishing details all of the characters' actions seem forced and contrived br br direction cinematography score br br i found mr direction to be without a clear point of view leaving the actors emotionally incoherent br br the cinematography can be described as mundane at best mr johnson selected small spaces to shoot and failed to catch the of new york city this failure created a claustrophobic film that viewed like the filming of a stage play and not a film br br the score was embarrassingly absent from most of the film i assume that mr johnson is to blame since he could have asked for full score to enhance understanding in each shot br br conclusion br br the new twenty is an annoying and failure in film making,negative
i watched deadly voyage because david was in it after enjoying him in the series and is always worth watching so i went into the film with an expectation of it being a potentially worthwhile film alas it was not to be br br i won't bother the performances the pacing the cinematography or any other aspect of the film others here have already given their opinions on those elements the only thing i want to address is the film's message since it in the intro that it's based upon a true story and hangs the film's supposed importance br br deadly voyage primarily focuses upon an black african man named kingsley who wants to move to the us because he believes that he can make money there nothing more nothing less his motivation is utterly selfish of course some people will by saying that he was doing it for his family but in fact he decided to have children on the he could make in so he really just created his own problem to that end kingsley decides to away aboard a russian bound for new york in the process of doing this he faces harsh conditions racist crew members and other challenges br br but this is precisely where the film leaves me unsympathetic why should the audience be expected to care about kingsley simply because he has a goal goals aren't such a rare that his should be above say the goal of the captain or the woman he left at home with his child goal is illegal in the eyes of the us government it is also illegal in that it steals from the russian company if he makes it to the us it would involve taking out of a system that he has not put into and if he gets caught the company will be 45 000 i doubt very much that any of the care about what their chosen course of action is anyone else they're clearly just out for their own gain he could've spent the 1 000 he won in the at the beginning of the film for legal passage to the us and applied for and a work instead he takes the illegal and dangerous route br br so since voyage is illegal selfish and cannot be justified why should we care about him or his ordeal simply because he faces challenges why should his challenges be above the challenge of the russian company getting to new york without because he's black and the company is white the reason seems to be because danny glover the film's executive producer and others involved want us to root for kingsley as if he's a hero on some sort of noble voyage but once you accept that illegal and a mission aren't noble at all you can't really care about him br br before anyone plays the race card i assure you that i would've felt the same no matter what the involved parties were imagine if a british person decided to away in a train headed for sneak across the border and collect to bring back to britain to sell how much sympathy could the challenges he faced generate very little i'd bet so why should we feel different for because he's black because he's poor by american standards the filmmakers are on us sharing their views that the ends justify the means and that a company being 45 000 is compared to the remote possibility of an slightly more in the us than he could've if he had just stayed in his own home country i didn't buy it for a minute,negative
alright the first time i seen talk radio was in a video store for only 2 00 on vhs believe it or not and i looked at it and i thought it might be about howard stern because i just looked at it for about thirty seconds then just didn't see it again then i went to another store about a month later and i found talk radio on dvd for only 5 00 so i see it was directed by oliver stone and i picked it up so after the film was over i was speechless i have never seen such a film like this here's the main plot then i'll tell ya what i thought of it br br it is about a dallas talk radio host barry a jewish radio host who talks about whatever other people bring up and he and is taking everything seriously now a network wants to put his show live everywhere in the u s so show gets a lot of interesting phone like a neo kent a rock n roll drugged kid john rapist and others now some of the sound like the same actor actresses but still i think it fits okay br br now what i love a lot about this film is the dark and the paranoid atmosphere of the radio station the dark music in the background fits very nicely too it has a flashback scene in the film also how he started with radio which i think they did good on br br but the great thing about the film is ending i was surprised by it and it kind of makes you feel paranoid a little about the phone off the air and everything about it is wonderful it also tells you how to say the right things to people over a big city like dallas one of oliver underrated weakest films mentioned but i think it's his best in my opinion br br but definitely get this film if you like films with paranoia feel like films with a dark atmosphere with sinister music in the background i still watch this film a lot of the times now when i'm bored as matter fact i watched it tonight yeah if ya wanna really get the sinister feel to the film watch it at with the lights off i may sound crazy but it makes the film better br br another thing i forgot to mention is that the reason i don't think the film did so well was maybe in my point of view because of the title radio ' it doesn't sound very or anything it's kind of plain a better title like the book talked to death or maybe the abusive radio host or something catchy and not plain talk radio or maybe because of universal pictures oliver stone usually didn't do universal i don't think paramount might have been a good company i don't know something about this film didn't do so well but i love it br br sticks and stones can break your bones but words can cause permanent damage,positive

this is an excellent little known movie tom does an outstanding job of acting in this movie with the japanese i'd love to see if this movie has come out on dvd yet there are some spots that clearly have been cut love interest has clearly had some parts chopped it would be interesting to see more of japan in the film the baseball sequences are far and away the most realistic of any baseball movie i'm quite sure most of the actors were current or former baseball players i love the tape of this movie at least once a year best scenes involve the lack of hat after tom gets in the big game and an intensely sensual scene of tom having a hot bath with dennis also does a great job it's good to see he's finally getting some recognition not just in baseball movies he was also in major league,positive

nothing about this movie is any good it's a formulaic predictable romantic comedy to make females force their significant others to watch in other words it's a predictable flick that is neither comedic or romantic and is extraordinarily forgettable if you like watching the same thing over and over then this movie will fit just perfect i was also forced to watch this with my g f at the time and it's no surprise we are no longer together i enjoy great movies that are wonderful to watch while she just wants to see the same thing over and over again just with different actors nothing good to say about this movie the title says it all 1 10 one b c i can't give it a zero,negative

can there be a worst film even ed wood at his horrific worst couldn't come up with something this bad cheesy stupid long preposterous and those are the good points i saw this trash back in the early 80's when i was incredibly bored to begin with and actually sat through the entire thing without blowing my brains out although that probably would have been a more pleasant experience i actually remembered it because it was so bad it makes me sad in a way because some of the best directors got their start by making tv movies ie spielberg and it was a wonderful way for them to get their initial material before the public but crap like this just totally killed the entire process,negative
meryl streep may be the greatest actor working today her portrayals never fail to she seems actually to be the characters she brings to the screen in one true thing she gives life to a straightforward profoundly complex woman doing her best to play the hand life has dealt to her surviving with cancer is no easy task and not just surviving but actually continuing to live one's life is even harder and this is precisely what kate streep means to do jerry maguire not only holds her own in this company but shines as daughter who learns to see in a new light her parents' lives as well as her own streep is a and deservedly received an oscar nomination for her work here her i'm only going to say this once dialogue with will leave you though is the real revelation her face conveys every emotion every conflict as she begins to learn the many truths about her parents' strengths and weaknesses director carl franklin devil in a blue dress handles the extremely difficult story material with and,positive
christopher first feature film critics who saw it when it first came out shot on a budget of 6 000 this is a student film with real class the film is shot in black and white and features people who you assume are friends of appearing in the movie this is not to say they are bad actors because they are quite good you could see jeremy and alex appearing in other projects but unfortunately they haven't since this was made 6 years ago br br thriller much like does not play it shifts the scenes around much like pulp fiction the writing is fantastic it is a great thriller but because the order of the film is around it makes it even more interesting i thought the last ten minutes in particular when everything starts to become clear were excellent br br for a film of such a small budget and with no recognizable names at all this is so good it is superior to most that hollywood studios offer and nolan after three films this the superior and the not quite as good but still excellent insomnia has himself as the most exciting new talent of recent times i can't wait for batman br br this film is short and sweet and certainly a great watch it is very professional and the twists are fantastic and completely surprising i also thought that the score from david was also excellent very atmospheric and had a quality to it he has gone on to other films br br overall i would recommend this i intend to get all of films this is a low budget gem br br,positive

i really wanted to like this film as i have admiration for italian rip off cinema especially jaws rip offs but the simple fact of the matter is that monster shark isn't very good all the signs of this being a great piece of trash are there we've got one of the kings of trashy cult cinema in the director's chair one of the best ridiculous cult actors michael taking the lead role and a central creature stupid enough to give even the best that this sort of film has to offer a run for it's money yet somehow the film still manages to be rather stale the fact that the doesn't feature too often is probably a good thing given the creature design but there's never enough elsewhere to pull the film through without it the plot focuses on a resort off the south coast of florida or rather somewhere in italy where several local people have turned up in the water with arms and legs missing it's not long before the local authorities decide that this creature has never been seen before and it's up to a crew of various sea experts to catch it alive br br the main problem with this film is that it always feels very pointless and since there is little in the way of characters or plot development even the least demanding of viewers are likely to start getting bored before long this sort of film is hardly famous for being brilliant although the fun element of films such as 'the last and is unfortunately absent for most of the running time the thing i love about lead actor michael is that he always seems like he's taking himself seriously no matter what film he's in although he only ever made four this is certainly the case here although never really allows him to completely dive in and often he feels as much like a spare wheel as the rest of the film much of the runtime is spent watching the various characters american and it's not very fascinating although does manage to come good by the end with an entertaining of action as the central monster finally gets to havoc upon its would be overall there really isn't much to recommend this film for as mentioned i really like this sort of stuff and even i found myself bored on numerous occasions for hardcore italian horror fans only,negative
there are few movies that have the massive amount of non stop ninja action as ninja iii the this is a story of love redemption and revenge however this is mainly a story about flipping out and killing people for no reason at all if you've been searching for a movie where a ninja goes absolutely nuts and takes all kinds of people to their graves just because he's a ninja and he can do it this is the movie for you i can't think of any movies to compare this to because no movie is this awesome wait oh have you ever seen the thing with two heads there is a part in that where the titular thing is riding around on a motorcycle and about a million cop cars are chasing it them around but they keep crashing and what not because you can't catch the thing with two heads well that is kind of what ninja iii is like i highly recommend this film especially if you like the following things ninjas swords from and 2 electric video games about being a in a bar ambiguous and underdeveloped love stories or good ninjas,positive
actually i have more a question than a comment i loved z boys and the of saw first then the doc and while i loved the story i am curious as to why in the movie sid was an important character but in the documentary he wasn't part of the team and only merely mentioned as just some kid they knew does anyone know the story on that the story of these boys was amazing i never experienced the where i grew up but my kids have enjoyed it what i have seen in local parks is what these boys had invented i never knew that when the film showed the competition and z boys did their thing they put to shame the others in competition,positive
i've just watched and i'm stunned to see the 8 10 average rating for the show br br not only was the plot was difficult to follow but it seems character development was randomly applied br br the actors were adequate but in the process of attempting to create twists and turns their characters are rendered entirely one dimensional once this happens the story really falls flat and becomes tedious br br and just in case anyone didn't see the predictable lesbian undertones from miles way this is home in the most banal terms at the end of the film br br the end scene is disappointing and in and anyone who sat back and went so they were carpet all along must have been out for the evening br br two stars for the hockey in the earlier scene which was at least a bit raunchy none for the rest of it,negative

it was evident until the final credits that this film was made in 1989 as all the elements of its production were made to look 1960's the acting the the sets and the props all had an aesthetic from an earlier time br br the film opens to the moments prior to the dropping of the a bomb on and how this tragic incident affects one family a young woman who lives with her aunt and uncle even in black and white and using special effects that are quite primitive by modern standards but and effective nonetheless the depictions of the immediate aftermath of the bomb are quite horrific family members become to each other others resemble zombies as they wander the streets and in shock br br the title refers to that fell soon after the bomb which was mixed with ash and in which is caught rumors of being in at the time of the bombing affect her marriage and it is later that the black rain is indeed causing the film is concerned not just with the physical effects of the bomb on the japanese but on the social and psychological damage that was br br i found the film compassionate and a fascinating journey into a unique culture while the film is primarily concerned with the pain felt by one family the film's gentle political message is relevant today and probably for all time wars have horrific consequences and should not be entered into unless absolutely necessary it is said that history repeats itself and the current leaders of the of the have learned nothing while atomic has not since 1945 other deadly after effects have this film is compelling viewing,positive
the art of the absurd is alive and in current danish cinema well at least it is in this movie nobody in this movie are amused they are all either annoyed or shocked and if they aren't yet they soon will be it is a story of screw ups murder embarrassment dignity and in the end love and redemption the chilling awkward humorous style is and won't appeal to everyone but personally i found it to have just the right fascinating mix of the bizarre and the absurd you pity the characters from a distance even as you dislike them up close and personal but their story is so tragic that you find it in yourself to forgive them and be happy for them even when they get away with murder br br this is in my judgment definitely the best danish movie of the last few years br br 9 out of 10,positive
br br spoilers in this review br br the long kiss is yet another prime example of a common of many modern films it starts off on a very interesting concept a trained assassin whose memory was consciousness of herself and the initial setup is engaging but then it seems the writers don't know very well where to go next and the whole thing off down increasingly confusing and or inane paths leaving the disappointing taste of something that was ok but promised to be a lot better the baddies are remarkably and even jackson's comic sidekick turn seems more like something from his pre pulp fiction days it looks like as in island made every effort so that no one would his then wife her character is by far the best of the film and this fact only makes you feel even more frustrated that they weren't able to do something better with it br br however there is still something about this film which for me sets it apart from the run of the mill hollywood and places it above average if only just it is something very subtle i can't quite put my finger on it's a disturbing cold dark even edge a nightmarish and unreal feel a air a mean streak which keeps up in various ways it's in the dark photography and almost permanent night the characters in it's in dreams in front of the mirror it's in her vicious eyes and smile whenever she's about to kill a man or when she how she will enjoy watching her nemesis die with her daughter listening it's in comeback at the wheel of a car while he is so much blood from his mouth he can hardly speak i don't know it's an atmosphere something i can't define but which gives me the creeps a bit and which makes this film still oddly intriguing for me,positive
there's hell to pay when you cross female and a dangerous group of thugs including their sadistic head and his equally lady operating a prostitution ring with an iron fist does just that hell no fury like and a determined detective seeking revenge for his arm after her will do whatever it takes and that includes anyone who might know her to catch finds an ally in hooker who provides her a temporary shelter has a retarded brother who suffered a brain injury during a job and must take care of him in a disturbing revelation regarding incest she also provides his sexual needs she in keeps him locked up in a room while working the streets meanwhile is targeted by a vile neighbor once she finds a place of her own she works as a and he threatens to turn her into the authorities was an escaped convict who a subway from the cops if she doesn't supply him sexual his wife a tea of water all over his face and body resulting in death the prostitution clan come looking for to pay the debt of losing a very important member of their organization that's when lee the lover and realizes that the one responsible for the loss of their loyal member is a former of hers her with an drug placing her in a bird cage in her what ultimately rage is watching a prostitute die outside her cell a victim of a forced late term abortion left to bleed to death finding a in her hand from the operation room will break free from the cage and prey upon each member of the clan responsible for the death the series of murders provide with an opportunity to catch and he'll trap her in the underground below the city but can he catch or kill her especially if comes to her aid br br trust me when i say there was no director or his film making team because female prisoner beast stable is yet another perverse deranged and ultra violent entry in the very entertaining series with fine production values and a visually talent for capturing all of the madness in imaginative ways pulls you right or he did me into the twisted drama that always exists when is on screen when you have a opening credits sequence where your anti heroine is fleeing through the crowded city streets with a man's severed arm to her the viewer has to know what they're in for the incestuous sub plot is simply bizarre and it's shot in a soft core way with the retarded brother his cold sister with dead eyes staring ahead and the entire abortion sequence is rather hard to sit through but the abortion angle as disturbing as it is provides motivation for revenge despite ways and her criminal nature you would rather see her take these out than vice versa interesting angle with detective as well is willing to break the rules and he becomes a force of nature towards anyone who stands in his way of capturing his mortal enemy his fate at the end visiting another enemy of in an isolated cell while she looks on perfectly what makes these films so ridiculous yet so entertaining the murders is a montage of in various places the from flesh with leaving the crime scenes very driven to wipe the whole clan out in memory of a fallen victim of unfortunate circumstances while the film is essentially a comic book adventure there's a sadness that and few characters come away without flaws i imagine many will walk away from this at how unrealistic female prisoner beast stable is specifically how is able to escape capture time and time again her goals of revenge paying back all those who have her but i looked at it as a violent action cartoon much like the later 80's films and enjoyed it for what it was as always this film features some beautiful asian actresses and some colorful almost always reserved quiet yet staring down her enemies with violent intent is in fine form in more ways than one and lee as her cross eyed runs away with the picture as a perfectly realized abusive worthy of psychological torment when both are in prison ways of torturing her are sweet my favorite scene has nothing to do with the plot but is so wonderfully wrong features a dog discovering severed arm walking through a street eventually finding a place to chew on it,positive

every james bond movie has its own set of rules just like every indiana jones movie has its own set of rules and the fact that screenwriters don't break these rules maintains the integrity of the characters with a completely unnecessary plot twist the integrity of both ocean films somewhere between airplane 2 and a cartoon br br imagine what would happen while on the rope bridge outside of the temple of doom if told and willie not to worry because throughout the entire first two movies he's secretly had super powers and can fly them both to safety br br entertaining sure for a cartoon but spielberg would never have done that because it would have destroyed the integrity of the film more importantly it would have the audience they'd already sat on the edge of their seats through 3 hours worth of indiana jones movies and they were counting on indiana to get them off that bridge in a believable way if he were to fly off people would have walked out of the theaters the same way people did during 12 br br spoilers br br 1 julia tess a museum by herself as julia roberts a clever twist by breaking the fourth wall three hours after we've been introduced to these characters is this the naked gun 33 and 1 3 it's a example of how a cheap laugh can ruin an entire film but wait just in case you haven't walked out yet br br 2 the suspense builds throughout the last hour of the movie how will they pull off the heist there are only 10 8 5 2 days left and then in the last 12 minutes of the film the only entertaining part of this movie we see that the heist was made days earlier and took matt damon all of 30 seconds to pull off the past 10 days a complete waste of your time br br back to indiana jones on the rope bridge just relax willie i stole the real stones back about a month ago besides i convinced them you were kate br br if you haven't already seen it cut your and go see the polar express i don't want to ruin the ending for you but there really is a santa claus most importantly you won't feel cheated leaving the theater,negative
the one thing i really can't seem to forget about this movie is its beginning classic comedy brilliantly crafted i love it see it for yourself no spoilers here the between and crystal also in this movie with as the perfect son one of my favourites highly recommended for fans of crystal,positive
the last sentence of this review is a major spoiler br br i have enjoyed joe work since he's done a great deal of different genre parodies that were both funny and honest br br but this is pure crap this is the kind of satire in line with thank you for smoking that is so literal and direct that it leaves nothing a to be laughed at and b to leave the audience to think about br br it's a shame because the plot and the material is so rich and for intelligent commentary br br by the way there is absolutely no reason for the main character to shoot the ann character at the end of the film it's just flat out ridiculous,negative
the cast and crew of this cheap horror are more interesting than anything that occurs throughout the movie itself we have barbara raymond jr tom paul and woody in front of the camera and writer director cinematographer charles van francis d and production assistant herman cohen behind it the ill turns the head of virtually every male she comes in contact with deep in the african jungle where she lives on husband plantation doctor secretly desires her while hot headed approach is quite literally more hands on on the other hand is surprisingly enough the laid back but knowing figure and is a native police official the plot is very simple but frankly does not make a whole lot of sense after a particularly dinner complete with and art imitating life – more on that later come to blows in the garden over their affection for and conveniently for a large snake just happens to be near where hits the ground witnessing the event from behind the enigmatic maid a native witch no less for some inexplicable reason puts a curse on who has in the meantime married that turns him into a gorilla starting from his very wedding day when his hand briefly turns consequently takes to losing himself in the jungle for days on end – even if the ape creature itself is barely throughout the film it must be said however that the version that i watched ran for just minutes when the length is elsewhere given as either 70 or therefore the film feels understandably rushed and disjointed if never less than enjoyable as it in the shot chasing of in the jungle with the former being itself pursued by the gun and to get back to the film's tragic blonde leading lady for a minute after a promising start in movies next to such hollywood legends as james cagney and gary cooper – in respectively kiss tomorrow goodbye and dallas both 1950 – her career soon nose into b and lesser grade territory thanks to her own off screen antics her most notorious was being the cause of a much bar room between suave husband tone and former lover tom which ended with the former in a coma and actually him for the latter shortly thereafter but that was not all also that woody was among her a controversial issue at the time short lived husband tone having caught on camera spread the evidence around hollywood and this virtually served to end her days as a – her last film appearance being edgar g murder is my beat 1955 which i happen to have in my movies pile the last 12 years of her life were spent on row in the of booze drugs prostitution and even a stabbing – before eventually dying in 1967 in her parents' home at the young age of,negative
jean pierre is a director i've only recently gotten with i need to see bob le and le again to fully grasp them but in watching le the red circle supposedly based on a saying in i realized i was watching as and absorbing a crime film as i had seen in a quite some time though his film has dialog it is mainly to keep the film's scenes rolling along to the plot what kept me on the alert even in seemingly mundane scenes sequences was the emphasis on the characters' movements or behavior has his story laid out and he is careful to take his time to tell it this could seem boring to some but it does seem to work since he puts a little more emphasis on the weight of the characters over plot br br yet look at each of the four main players as corey just released from prison scheming a new heist maria as escaping on the from hand custody meets corey by luck as an aged pro with many years of experience with weapons a friend of and andre as mattei an experienced investigator who is on the look out for and on his with internal affairs each of these actors plays their parts with and they each have their own kinds of moments that indicate to the audience what their personalities might be besides as criminals and cops the heist sequence gives little hints for example like how cops a feel off a female statue while passing down the or how takes out a and merely has a of the and what a dream this guy creates even movements involving a photograph of a woman interest br br as absorbing and cool the story becomes and as great the skills were to make it happen via cinematographer the editing and the musical score by eric it's the people on the screen that gain fascination in how they stay true to their and ideals not a film to be missed by french new wave and modern day crime movie buffs might want to take the minutes to up the atmosphere of work a suave piece of film making that still ranks as one of my all time favorites,positive
since i am not a big steven seagal fan i thought this was a pretty good movie it is apparent that his fans are very with this drama that lacks an over abundance of martial arts and force br br plays a self claimed leader of a in a with the for weapons he with the intentions of releasing a deadly virus seagal is a former cia agent turned country doctor that himself to find the for the lethal bug that has a small town his native american figures into the salvation br br notable appearances by l q jones belle and mitchell my personal favorite in this movie is yellow she is stunning and appears to have what it takes to take on a more challenging role br br despite the far fetched ending this was a decent movie that could have used a lot more action,negative
i wasn't really interested in seeing step up but my friend just kept and me to see this film especially since she is so in love with i her constantly about it saying how that's the only reason why she loved the movie but she somehow convinced me that it was a movie worth seeing that if i loved movies like dirty dancing take the lead and save the last dance that i should love step up eh what the heck i guess every movie in some way has it's right to a view br br well you know those movies i just mentioned up top dirty dancing take the lead and save the last dance well put them in a with some love in it and that's what you have not to mention if you've seen those movies well frankly you have seen step up because is lower class with street who just naturally feels the music while that up class girl must follow step by step how will they ever fall in love if they are so different after all this is their chance to step up to the passion the mystery and the lust of the dance br br ok that was a silly plot explanation but like i said as long as you've seen those movies i mentioned or even if you just saw the plot you get the movie i don't understand how it actually has a 5 5 rating i bet it's those lovers lol i'm kidding with you guys but it's all good i guess i just didn't get what others did with the passion the mystery that is the dance oh antonio where are you when we need you br br 4 10,negative
yes this is one of the of the black action genre confusing mixture of racist comedy and racist violence at times reaching a disturbing pitch even for a fan of the genre this movie isn't your in the park wonderful bits of ray moore comedy stand up that don't seem funny at least not to a white boy like me but great in context much better than its sequel the human,positive
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
this is the sequel to br br ok a lot of stock footage but pretty good i'm surprised that they actually had a giant robot that actually didn't look that bad i was actually quite surprised by that br br the movie overall was just ok fun it never explained how the got so big and isn't linked it anyway to the first but it was still fun br br the ending me and my friend laughed at basically after blowing the up once the two main characters launch a bomb and five explosions most stock footage appear on screen we that they went to the dollar store and bought a in toy believe me it has to be seen to believe overall just stupid fun worth giving a chance buying if it's cheap,negative
is great you totally believe his character and it's scary as hell i spent half the movie covering my eyes the other half on the edge of my seat it's cool to see something this suspenseful and frightening that isn't all blood and guts but it did give me bad dreams br br basically this is a great movie see it the first chance you get,positive
his significant charisma and commanding presence are about all that keep this but fred has done far better urban action films including many of his later released fare the big films of the early to mid 70's rarely had the punch of their mid level counterparts and this is a prime example clumsy action little violence and the pg rating is nowhere near questionable worth a look for hammer in any case,negative
this movie is the funniest danish movie i've ever seen br br the plot is funny surprising and danish humor is unlike any other and it gets you every time the entire audience laughed 90 of the time it was incredible the characters are so well played and the two actors and lie play their best ever br br i would highly this movie you won't regret it believe me,positive
people stranded in a country house during a storm discover that the home was the sight of an murder years before during a dinner discussion of the incident the lights go out and when they come back on they discover that one of the guests has been killed for their lives the guests attempt to find out the secrets behind the death before others can occur according to the dvd synopsis br br there are a couple of clever twists in this murder at the old dark house story with the play within a play being its most interesting feature however the direction is rather ordinary which serves to highlight a certain of production like most movies of this type there is or should be an ensemble of intriguing characters only old time broadway producer richard as herman wood and his secretary johnny arthur as homer maintain interest br br the ghost walks 12 1 frank r richard johnny arthur john,negative
after matt phenomenal performance in crash most will probably rush to pick up a copy of to see if dillon is for real or simply got a lucky from a great script br br well certainly has its moments but the of everything will most likely turn viewers off however nothing should be taken away from dillon his performance is wonderful and full of excellent deadpan humor proving he's a solid actor with significant chops it's just a shame about the directing and script br br the story is about henry hank dillon and his to to anything resembling he or gets fired from jobs in mere minutes only to find himself back in a dreary pub meeting even women while trying to write a novel we never really know what the novel is about except that it involves everything cancer movies you me br br skipping from to and constantly returning to jan taylor the haunting a loser girlfriend who's just as as himself hank tries to discover what his life is supposed to hold for him whether he ever learns what that is is up for interpretation some may say that he never does while others might argue that his life is simply a path to obscurity br br regardless there's not much substance to even with matt fine performance the story through life without much thought given as to where to take the audience and that's a shame performance would've even if given a decent script,negative
the trouble with this film like so many other films that fail is the script br br the script is so it around all over the place what is the story here ok it's a biopic but i think everyone will agree there is no way that an entire life can be into 100 or so minutes some selection and editing is required but this script just didn't or edit enough it didn't render life down to one or two pivotal moments or themes that the audience could identify with and through them the bigger picture of the whole man br br the movie wanders from being a straight plodding biopic to semi using new shots up to match archive footage to sub true life stories movie of the week the whole i'm bringing up a son who doesn't know i'm his dad to political conspiracy theory movie etc etc it just never makes its mind up what it wants to be and the half hearted citizen kane like narrative structure reporter people from past is soon abandoned which leaves the film even more and than it starts out br br the movie is full of moments and incidents that contribute nothing to the story and could well have been cut to leave room to expand something more important the whole scene in the office after vincent pounds the window screaming i'm hoffman i'm hoffman i'm hoffman i'm acting i'm acting i'm acting could have easily been cut all that happens is the psychiatrist says you have disorder here's some and the two women in his life say we could see you more often and bang that's it no more mental health problems it is such a laughably pointless scene it could easily and should have been dumped before it was shot the scene where they all get high and watch footage from and hoffman phones god pointless tells us nothing about anything yet when it comes to a important moment like the drugs bust the film making is so the situation just comes out of and doesn't make any sense to the audience suddenly he's dealing in heroin where did this come from why what is going on here br br i being a middle aged would guess i am sitting well within the target audience for this movie but even i got fed up with the portrayal of 'the man' 'the 'the etc as brutal be suited hippie hating it may have been like that in 60's america i don't know i wasn't there but in film terms it was cheap clumsy br br having said all that vincent was convincingly charismatic as the younger hoffman and i could watch in anything even reading a bus though she just wasn't right for this part,negative
i saw this very emotionally painful portrayal and it was fascinating the conflict between the public and private faces of williams and the pressure he was under is in a way that even those who knew something about him would be surprised the cast acted superbly but michael sheen was outstanding i only realised it was him when i saw the earlier comment he looks completely physically different in this role from any other role i have seen him in or as himself williams autobiography from his as represented in this film the film is at times to watch because of the emotional anguish displayed however it is a worthwhile experience and a film that can be recommended highly,positive
i'm no director or writer or anything related to a movie but watching more than 1 movie everyday has given me the idea of what is a good movie or not so here it is the quick and the undead is a rip off of the quick and the dead i was thinking that it could be a little bit of a parody of a cool movie with lots of starts in it but oh no i was really in for an very big disappointment br br to put it simply the movie sucks i'm a big fan of gore movies but this one just gives you gore here and there but they are not that consistent br br but i have to give them credit in creating gruesome characters which has given me a little bit of br br if you're a big fan of zombies watch this if you're not better look for other rob zombie films,negative
right here we go you have probably read in previous reviews on this film that it is awful badly acted avoid at all costs well i suppose in some ways this is true it is fair to say that you couldn't write a spoiler in this comment as there is no plot to spoil however there is a fine line between plain awful and absolutely hilarious and believe me this film is the latter the acting is so bad the plot so non existent and the ending so completely it will have you laughing the whole way through there are scenes in this film that take comedy to a new level do not expect an oscar winner but believe me for the small price you will pay for this disaster it is worth every penny,positive
writer director michael sci fi channel sequel to stan classic horror tale of revenge gone awry has its moments and some decent gore but ultimately falls short in comparison to the original br br i'm pretty sure the filmmakers weren't trying to make a comedy but i caught myself laughing throughout a family started over a car accident is the basis for this entry into the franchise the and mccoy families live in a backwoods town with dirt roads drive pickup drink and kick each others every chance they get just when they thought it was safe to hate each other and live happily ever after jodie amy and ricky mccoy taylor decided to fall in love causing the fit to hit the one night the two decide to head out into the woods for some quality time while sister plays but it just so happens that on that very night some of the accidentally kill sister and catch him and jodie together you know what happens next ricky finds his sisters body and decides to pay a visit to so that he can exact his revenge through the mighty also lance is back to warn potential damned souls against using to ease their pain which really put a in the story because is supposed to have called on years before this story takes place but the setting and characters look like dirty that somehow traveled through time in order to bring the pickup truck back to then there's the sheriff rob freeman who has his own ties to the demon and looks like he belongs in a 70's revenge movie instead of a made for cable horror flick br br some of the gore and special effects were cool but instead of sticking to the man in a suit way of thinking used some terrible looking 3d shots for certain scenes one particularly embarrassing shot shows jumping from tree like a badly rendered 3d monkey the cinematography was exceptional and the quality of the movie quite a bit the acting was pretty decent also with the exception of a few poorly executed accents br br family never end well especially when the families involved in the have to deal with i didn't enjoy every minute of this flick but it was much better than most of the movies the sci fi channel out maybe it's a sign that the channel is trying to bring the quality of its movies up to match the quality of its original i wouldn't waste any on a rental but if you get the chance to catch a of it on the tube i would say to check it out it's a not so killer film but it rises slightly above the level of trash that makes it onto dvd these days,negative
its obvious whenever knight is in the news but did they have to make a movie about him this was the worst attempt at a serious dramatic movie i have ever seen it had it all terrible acting terrible dialogue ridiculous casting cheap sets etc etc it looked like it was shot on a 10 budget whats up with the game scenes were they in a middle school gym and the lighting well let me just say it was ridiculous and brian as bob knight give me a break looked like in a red nothing more lost a lot of credibility with this flop attempt they millions of in advertising then the was a huge bob knight is not a subject that can be covered in a 2 hour movie blew it even knight himself thought it was more stupid than anything else,negative
i think that never been was a totally awesome movie the casting was really good and they acted very well i really like drew barrymore and of course for me it was excellent i was scared at first because it said that it wasn't coming out on video boy am i happy that it is because it's a beyond cool movie go see it if you already haven't,positive
is one of the great epic war films sure others such as birth of a nation and had come before but this one is just as influential the acting is stock but anyone who knows the first thing about would know that that was part of his theory of film this film unlike many of his silent works is about the heroic individual as much as it is about the group this reflects the philosophy that had to the by 1938 still his film shows us the power that can be generated by people coming together to fight something they perceive as evil is just one of many men he is prince because he is strongest but not because he is somehow different than the rest the film's romantic angles provide more of a personal story than had previously allowed not all of the elements work and the film is probably a bit too long but it still,positive

first thing i note is the music it's nothing as amazing as cannibal haunting theme or the masterpiece from a tale of two sisters but i don't let that stop me so early in the film br br one must assume that the woman her for her that as a organized practice has never existed one would think they must take into the consideration that they are wrong and prepare for the trip right or why go at all if you already believe the to be true before even being tested that's fairly unbelievably ignorant and makes the movie seem that much more unrealistic and badly scripted br br that actually is similar to the film just totally ill prepared no guns no decent clothing just nonsense through and through br br people don't go on like this for college without months of planning and br br but i br br things don't get off to a very good start for our brave yet stupid as they to miss a and their pet falls out of the truck nearly to it's demise then to fall into a mud hole well i guess it's time to walk br br okay then they flip a to see whether they keep going or forget the whole thing how does that scene even make any sense all their conviction rests on the flip of a after they must've spent time and money and just getting out there this just keeps getting worse some of the worst acting and scripting and music ever for the film industry br br mike talks about how he and his friend's were captured by the cannibals and put into in mud with 3 inch long sucking on their blood i found that interesting because if you remember the first cannibal they run into in the jungle a man they mistake as a simple native is sitting on the ground eating such wonder if they are the same ones really though this movie is just terrible because the script is horrible and the acting is considering the content they just agree to off themselves rather then get eaten by cannibals like it's no big decision br br obviously mike is insane but just like in the first movie they treat the natives with such terrible behavior it's simply unrealistic br br movie easily feels the americans got what they deserved while in this movie one can hardly blame the natives for what the americans yet again br br and because of that the movie feels somewhat pointless we already got the point from the first movie so why was the sequel made the name is rizzo could it get any worse with movies such as these when you look up the cast you find they haven't really acted in much other films and their are all but non existent so you can imagine i was surprised to find in this movie who was in gangs of new york now lt rizzo looked familiar and i found he was in the 2002 movie as a very tiny role as a captain reminds me of how william shatner went from being the on the enterprise to a cop in a car irony sometimes irony works out shatner never could get the music right until his recent album has been which is really good just like of never could get a right and dan never could win no br br sometimes irony is just sad like christopher reeve superman can't walk irony the man will always be a legend though because he was such a great guy i yet again though br br at this point you can tell i'm fairly bored of even discussing cannibal br br cannibal message was about who are the real and what is truly evil what the do in natural living unknown to our moral records or what we do to others with intent cannibal message seems to be careful what you go looking for for you just might find it ' i will say this for cannibal when gloria comes back and writes her that does not exist she saves others who would be curious and go where angels fear but overall this movie was really bad br br 10,negative
just finished with zombie bloodbath part one on the amazing zombie bloodbath trilogy dvd from camp motion pictures zombie bloodbath 2 rage of the undead is next now this one left me a bit puzzled due to a few plot holes and some confusing twists here and there but it is a better film on many levels director todd sheets truly shows a major leap in style and talent between the two films again this is not for people who want and hollywood style horror films this is for people who like their zombies bloody raw and grainy the story as far as i could tell was basically about two robbers who in 1945 try and steal from an elderly couple only to find that the couple are members of a cult one guy is simply killed and the other the one in charge is basically turned into a scarecrow and and they stand him in the nearby field still alive but dying cut to present day and a van full of college kids break down near a at the same time a group of escape from a nearby jail both groups end up at the same house the house was the one the elderly coupled used to live in and when one of the knocks down the scarecrow and takes it's jacket it causes the scarecrow to wake up and he in turn brings the cult members back from the dead wow and this is all in the first half hour there is another plot also going on in town where a couple of serial killer types have taken some workers at a hostage this actually works though as the people trapped in the house finally escape and end up in the same most of the twists work out pretty good but it is obvious that the film was just too complex in some spots for it's own good it all ends in a huge showdown with the remaining heroes finding a delivery truck or something full of flesh eating of course they throw it at the undead and cause some major melting and a few heads to explode and then we get an odd thought provoking ending first let me say that while it was not always easy to follow i still had a major good time with this movie it was fun and the acting was pretty darn good for a low budget effort it was obvious that todd sheets was truly trying to bring more to the table than a typical zombie film and in that regard he has succeeded it had better special effects than the first film great pacing and some cool music and visuals plus there is a true show of a shot from inside a mouth as a knife is through it care was taken here and it shows the weakness lies in the scripting and in a few of the performances again i recommend listening to the commentary track it was even better than the first one and i learned a lot like finding out that some of the scenes were shot on super 8 film for effect and that the film came back ruined from the lab and they could use it and they had already been editing the film by the time they got the film back so some of the confusion is from a few scenes not being in the film also i learned that todd sheets truly has a passion and love for making horror movies it shows the film is a good example of no budget cinema that could have used one more rewrite but still shines with more style than most films i see not quite as fun as the first film though a better movie technically i really admire sheets as one of the true and in the area of cinema and this one is a great addition to the zombie genre,positive

the reviewer in variety said this was and overlong and i kind of agree with it it has some events that seem forced and unlikely like when cal once again as the and kind of male and moore find a map of the us in kind of an unbelievable place the story is one of those 1970's guy must find meaning in his life stories and i found myself imagining jack nicholson in his prime playing the role of cal the whole hitting the road to find meaning in life theme is still kind of interesting though does it all really lead back to family i wasn't so sure the acting is okay i particularly liked karen allen and james who unfortunately only have supporting roles i'd give it a,negative
not many television shows appeal to quite as many different kinds of fans like does i know youngsters and 30 40 years old fans both male and female in as many different countries as you can think of that just adore this t v miniseries it has elements that can be found in almost every other show on t v character driven drama that could be from an australian soap opera yet in the same episode it has science fact fiction that would give even the a run for his money in the stakes theory time travel in true form magnificent it cultures from all over the map as the possibilities are endless having multiple stars and therefore thousands of planets to choose from br br with such a broad scope it would be expected that nothing would be able to keep up the illusion for long but here is where really comes into it's own element it succeeds where all others have failed especially the likes of star trek a universe with practically zero element they ran out of ideas pretty quickly kept them over the course of 4 seasons they manage to keep the audience's attention using good continuity and constant character evolution with multiple threads to every episode with unique personal touches to camera that are specific to certain character groups within the whole this structure allows for an extremely large area of subject matter as are and broken in many ways on many many issues i happened to see the pilot premiere in passing and just had to keep in after that to see if would ever get the girl after seeing them all on television i was delighted to see them available on dvd i have to admit that it was the only thing that kept me sane whilst i had to do a 12 hour night shift and developed insomnia was the only thing to get me through those extremely long nights br br do yourself a favour watch the pilot and see what i mean br br,positive

this is probably the most film i've ever seen i watched it because i have a soft spot for leon everything else has done has been just awful in my opinion with the exception of the script for and jean reno it's a testament to just how bad this film is that reno one of the most charismatic and effortlessly actors admittedly he's just starting out here can't make this film or the moments in which he is on screen watchable br br it's all very film black and white no dialogue people doing things for no apparent reason people chasing each other while in turn being chased by a shaky camera and predictably none of it is entertaining br br it's not a french mad max as some people have claimed actually i think they mean mad max 2 that is a superficial comparison based only on the fact that both films have a post apocalyptic setting and is just the kind of comment you'd expect from someone who doesn't know what they're talking about mad max 2 was mad max 2 was exciting mad max 2 was worth your time le combat is none of these br br i know it's supposed to be cool to like arty black and white french films and equally cool to say you saw something in them that other people did not or you managed to sit through it without feeling which is why i wouldn't trust anyone who claims to like le combat because i see nothing of worth in it whatsoever it asks for so much and gives nothing back i found myself from it after about five minutes and it never did anything to regain my full attention anyone who can sit through it isn't human or at the very most is psychotic actually they're probably just trying to seem cool,negative
i have to admit that i approached this movie with a sense of expectation and dread louis de novel is one of my favourites and anyone who has read it will realise that there is no way in hell that any screen adaptation can be 100 faithful br br all the way through i found myself convincing myself that the movie was and had stripped the plot back so far as to render it redundant the ending however is much better than that in the novel and i could not stop thinking about the movie afterwards still the john magnificent cinematography stephen great score etc i felt did not my initial a heavily script br br but two days later i was again to see and although not perfect i have to admit now that the movie is the best anyone could have expected cage is actually brilliant in a role that even de was concerned was not a fully rounded character his spirit which gives way to is spot on and the superb double act of penelope and john hurt perfectly david is quietly effective as the nazi officer trying to his feelings for his italian friends and his complex to those around him and the fine italian supporting cast bring de world of alive br br on leaving the cinema second time around i finally let go my passion for the novel which prevented me from fully the story of ww2 in cinematic terms my hat goes off to john who despite the almost expected critical he is receiving from the british critics any director who has had a major success like shakespeare in love behind them is always a target for these has managed to transfer a difficult book to the big screen with such heart and humanity the core virtues of the novel in fact that he has created another classic love story that will probably only be fully appreciated when the dust has settled a few years from now br br if you are a fan of the book like me it's hard but try not to make the same mistake on your initial viewing try to the book from your mind for two hours yourself in the glorious atmosphere and discover dr as if for the first time pretend you're watching something made from an original screenplay and i guarantee you won't be disappointed br br in fact you'll be eagerly waiting to own your own copy of this delightful movie on video or dvd br br 8 10,positive
does anyone care about any of the characters in this film or for that matter what happens to them i doubt it that is the key problem for a tragedy to work we have to care about at least one of the characters and none of them inspire any sympathy or appear to have any redeeming qualities at all br br what may have worked in the century certainly does not work in one can only assume apocalyptic if that was indeed what it was meant to be the problem is the characters in post apocalyptic whilst still driving around in cars using mobile phones and watching television have to speaking in language with a oh dear bad enough you might think but this often into pure with comments such as are you a cockney and was that a during one of the scenes filmed in the underground well the good news is that in post apocalyptic the trains are still running br br the characters without exception are badly drawn wooden and more like on the lines of the joker penguin in batman and robin except there is no real storyline to speak of or if there is it is one that doesn't work in a modern setting where half the sets are gloomy and and the other half are or just 21st century normal costumes are also mixed up with half wearing their everyday clothes are big in post apocalyptic apparently and the other half wearing costumes from the of a fancy dress party br br the film explores the ideas of lust incest and revenge in the most inane fashion imaginable the tragedy is that this film was made at all br br,negative

want a great recipe for failure take a crappy political plot add in some weak completely undeveloped characters and then throw in the worst sequences a movie has ever known let for a week the amount of time probably spent making this trash br br the result is this movie ' a cinematic experience that takes bad movies to dangerous and low places never before conceived br br this movie utterly blew at my face for its entire run time words cannot convey how painful it was to watch this is not one of those bad movies that you and your friends can sit around and make fun of this is not 9 from outer space ' this is a long boring and sad waste of time this is the biggest waste of energy and talent i have ever seen it me when i realize that people actually took time out of their lives to act in this tripe if you can call it acting but then again when you have poor direction poor writing poor everything acting is the last thing to criticize br br this movie is like a huge disgusting turd that you to quickly out of existence that a friend or loved one might somehow see it i really wish i could somehow destroy every copy of this film so it will not the minds of aspiring filmmakers thank you robert for giving me respect for every other movie i have ever seen you have shown me what is truly awful and why i should appreciate all those movies that are merely crappy and or boring,negative

forget about i open with this because it seems that a good portion of the reviews i have read on the box amount to the simple but weak argument that it doesn't hold a candle to it isn't that i disagree with that necessarily i just feel that this movie is a different animal altogether and deserves its own analysis there are points of comparison to be sure but they are concerns when you consider that the key to the heart of each movie is different in the driving force of the narrative is existential in the box the driving force of the narrative from a moral dilemma believe me when i say that i understand the to compare an innovative by looking for and but for me it is more important to approach each new film as a self contained first and then my afterwards br br the box is one of those films you get mixed feelings about because it seems to be in some sort of identity crisis it isn't always sure what it wants to be the twists are numerous but easy to follow if not to predict james and cameron diaz play a relatively believable pair of who are in financial a box containing a button unit arrives on their and they are informed by a horribly burned man that if pushed the button will cause the death of one person whom they don't know and they will receive one million dollars one of the things the box achieves is to up this invisible fear that somewhere out there our actions have moral consequences before the button is pushed it has an eerie and seductive quality yet sinister once it has been pushed events are set in motion that make the two leads question their own morality and deeply regret their decision br br the notion that the box is an experiment is interesting because for me it provides the movie with a if there are beings developing an based on data gathered by couples pushing and not pushing the button then as the conspiracy we notice that ultimately it is a forced be or the species will be wiped out i suppose the couples don't know the consequences of their actions when they are faced with making the decision but they have no reason to suspect that the box can do anything so why would they choose is by the fact that we only care about it when presented with a problem in our own lives br br the psychological in this movie are everywhere push the button or don't it's likely someone is messing with you take the money or don't no one gives anything away for free search for the truth the answers you find slowly reveal your demise br br i that the box is an ironic work because it offers the false choice of free will while revealing that we are trapped in many boxes you can only choose to be free at the expense of life is that freedom no it is only another box because then you become trapped in the consequences of your own morality there is no escape for us because we live on earth and that is another box this is precisely why the beings in the film are ultimately they demand we to moral standards which rob us of our freedom we made it to mars and we were burned for it and turned into slaves in a sick game br br the references to jean paul illustrate this point rather well you can only enter the final chamber free or not free sure but no matter the form in which we enter the chamber it is a chamber nonetheless br br,positive
a bit the movie in the movie case or as the theme is virtual game here which is the reality or even more frightening which reality is the real one as any there are things like the and that wonderful idea the gun a weapon made of bones and that shoots teeth if there are some slower moments the sets designs and ideas are there with some thoughts of revolution can be not liked because the way the movie is happening is quite unusual and sometimes disturbing but it's definitely worth it,positive
i found this to be an entertaining account of the challenges an independent film maker might encounter something i never even thought about the film managed to keep my interest the entire time and i actually laughed out loud more than once i'm not a film maker so i know nothing about the technology but i though it was well edited and smoothly telling the story as a i contributed to this effort after the fact providing music for the soundtrack but i was not involved in the creation of this film and i could not tell you a thing about man except that i remembered seeing it way back when i'm not really a sci fi fiend i enjoyed the comparisons the film made of punk rock file making to punk rock music my wife went with me to see the film and she did not know a thing about it before hand and we had a great time,positive
this movie was beautiful and touching it touched a place deep inside me and i'm not sure why i am a happily married woman and i've never had lesbian but my this movie almost made it something i the choreography the storyline the dialog the movie was a work of art br br the synopsis without spoilers is that a woman with her life and looking for something anything she is with a man who does not want a baby but she does he's not mean to her but he doesn't treat her the way a woman should be treated either i guess he doesn't really appreciate her all these years she has stayed in shape and decides to go back to the gym she meets another woman during her training and an intimate and beautiful relationship unfolds throughout the movie she has another woman friend that she trained with in her younger years and they have stayed close friends br br the relationship that unfolds is i don't know quite the word but very understanding comfortable intimate but sexy something that could only exist between two women the kind of relationship that could really bring meaning back into your life someone that makes you feel special exciting beautiful confused even br br the relationship with her close friend is beautiful in an equally different way they have a close and intimate relationship her friend showed me what a true friend really is someone who is understanding easy going real fun to be with someone who is there for you no matter what someone who is supportive and you can with and tell your deepest secrets someone who shares your past but does not share your secrets br br the story is simple in the fact that it was not overdone but not in any way it leaves a lot of sensual imagery to capture it's moments the dancing and choreography was stunning i could watch it over and over the way the artist captured the main character's feelings and emotions was the dancing and the imagery was very dazzling and mesmerizing to watch what a a wonderful story i fell in love with this movie if you have a chance rent this and watch it,positive
tom hanks returns as dan robert in his first adventure angels demons which hollywood decided to make after the da code given the more controversial subject striking a raw nerve on the faith itself the catholic church was up in arms over the first film but seemingly about this one and it's not hard to see why considering ron howard had to do a flat out action piece that serves as a great video of rome and city and would probably boost visitor numbers given the many beautiful on location scenes save for st square and which was a model used br br so i guess with the bulk of the budget going toward the sets the ensemble cast had to be down tried to step into the female void left by audrey but given character then having a lot more stake in the film scientist had a lot less to do other than just waiting in the wings to change some on a filled with anti matter in the book she's the fodder of course for to his vast knowledge of the the and the great between the two but here she's neither love interest nor his intellectual equal br br ewan on the other hand up each scene he's in as patrick who is taking care of the office while the other prominent are in the to a new and he plays patrick with that in the eye with nuances enough to let you know there's more than meets the eye there's no surprises here for readers of the novel but performance here is one of the highlights of the film as hanks plays well tom hanks br br the book itself is rich with arguably accurate content as always and had a lot more plot points on science versus religion and a wealth of information that dan brown and linked together in an engaging fictional piece of work while reading the book some years ago i thought that should a film be made of it it's easy to and more on the set action pieces sadly that's what this ron howard film did with a pace that doesn't allow a temporary unlike the first film where you had the characters sit down for some discussion time over a cup of tea this one moved things along so quickly it's like reading the book all over again page after page being just to get to the thick of the action br br catholic reviewers have called angels demons harmless because i guess it didn't on its many unlike the da code which struck a raw nerve at the centre of the faith and if anything this film served as a great video with a nice showcase of the many prominent that would many around the world to go pay a visit naturally certain areas like the beneath st and the remain out of but the walk along the path of now that's almost free br br nothing new for those who have read the book other than to see it come alive but for those who haven't this film may just you to pick up dan novel just to read a bit more about the significance about the and characters such as and who are linked to the plot but much left satisfying pop corn entertainment leaving you with nothing spectacular,positive
i am a fan of randolph scott westerns while some of them are amazingly clichéd as are most westerns of this era his easy delivery and style really elevate the films to classic and near classic status while this film features yet another example of real life western heroes being exploited after their death by hollywood in this case bat masterson the film works well due to him as well as excellent supporting characters one is the always strong acting of robert ryan an excellent actor who is sadly almost forgotten today the other is the hayes who has one of his best roles as the and very colorful deputy here he is more enjoyable than in his many supporting roles for roy rogers and john wayne mostly because his part is better written and he's given more to do br br the plot is pretty much the plot of half the westerns ever made there are some baddies who hire a bunch of thugs to run over the locals and it's up to a do scott to the peace and kill off the villains however how the plot is executed is much better than average and due to this the film is still watchable fun just don't expect a whole lot of or unless you want to see what might just be best performance,positive

seriously where is al oscar nomination for this one is it that we take him for granted at this point in his career pacino here is extraordinary he gives a complex heartbreaking performance as the jewish money the movie as a whole was quite great with beautiful shots of to look at and a pitch perfect score to listen to the other actors all do a fine job as well but the real reason to see this is pacino i have seen all the nominated oscar performances of 2004 and i must say that pacino was blame it on the anti associated with the play the lack of by the studio the late release date with no major push or most likely all of the above in my mind the best performances of the year belong to jamie foxx in ray don cheadle in hotel and al pacino in the of,positive
here you see mr eastwood in all of his glory i e at the top of his form as an actor and at the height of his physical appeal but the ladies depicted are hardly typical of the south then or now the young girls at the school are incredibly naive some showing signs of developing into really women and page full blown in her corruption hardly represents the mean when it comes to head of girls schools either then or now that is not to say that there isn't the occasional bad apple in any barrel mr eastwood has said this is one of his own two favorite films br br the does have an original plot a lot of attractive characters and many surprises in store for the viewer it's thoroughly engrossing and entertaining but not really realistic i know having grown up in the south and attended a girls' school and college moreover i have been with girls who did the same not to mention their laid back teachers or you might even say repressed who were a far cry from the depicted here she is downright comical in her depiction of a southern gentle woman who is not quite what she seems br br this movie was a little outrageous when it first appeared and still is i think but you won't be sorry you spent your time watching it,positive

before i review this film i must make a confession that is rather a bold statement to make as a film reviewer anyone who has already read any of my previous reviews may know that i've always been controversial in a low key sense giving high marks for such as captain america and creature and such film classics as a christmas carol and shakespeare in love with that in mind this confession might not come as a surprise br br the simple fact is christopher is probably one of my favorite actors now don't start getting crazy on me just yet let me explain myself i by no means think he's the greatest actor in the world i clearly confess that he is not he is certainly no morgan freeman or anthony hopkins but i would say that his acting ability is probably somewhere up there with at least bruce willis what i admire about him however are the human qualities that he brings into his action heroes he is just an average guy who laughs and cries and who is a hero because he has to be not necessarily because he wants to be it takes a lot in my opinion to be able to bring out those qualities in a character especially in the movies he's worked in and heroes are a far cry from or quite frankly characters are easier for me to relate to hence he's not the greatest actor in the world he's just a personal favorite br br i can't say that same however for his films however much i his acting it would be foolish not to confess that his choice of films leave something to be desired most of them are quite frankly terrible and any that he's gotten over the years from me isn't due to his acting but rather his bad choice in scripts br br with that in mind i can say that his debut film tarzan is one of his best films and probably his greatest performance as i mentioned it is effective of the he brings to the role and for how seriously the director writers and actors handle the material this is a far leap from the b movie action adventures with johnny from the 1940's in fact i would hesitate to call it an action movie instead it is a serious drama that takes all of e r material seriously showing quest to discover his real family in scotland after realizing that he doesn't fit in as a white ape he is torn in between his old family and his new one which includes a wonderful sir ralph richardson in his final role in an attempt to adapt to humans his ape instincts also kick in and he can't decide what he loves more his real family or the one that he's always known all in all it is a wonderful commentary on society and a wonderful character study br br if nothing else it launched into international stardom which continued will into the 1980's with films like and he unfortunately it didn't last but just wait a while his latest career moves such as and have that though he still have a long way to go he's a competent enough actor to be able to perhaps make a comeback if he'll just pick his roles better br br for now however here's the verdict on his first film br br out of,positive

this movie has a decent story in my opinion very good fight scenes but i was a little bit disappointed by the end of the movie i think that it was a way better if knew karate also or if she knew to use some weapons her character has become more interesting too and she was a decent to i think when the director filmed the final between he wanted to finish the movie earlier so he didn't care how the end was going to be all in all i think that fans of will be very satisfied watching this movie it's not like or to justice but it was entertainment enough and looks awesome in this movie so my rate for this movie is a solid 8 10,positive

laughable br br clichéd br br on style to compensate for poor writing br br remember when mtv actually used to air music videos and other shows besides reality shows 2005 is based upon one such show – a cartoon from the mid 90s – featuring a female protagonist in black clothing played by the lovely in this adaptation is a cold detached rebel who is as as a line dancer and as deadly as a snake she needs to be if she expects to kick the of the government br br i love science fiction but hate the sudden of half futuristic technology films like the island 2005 and 2002 bottom of the pile has all the problems that are present in these films but that is there is nothing original left to show so they compensate for it with the style that matrix 1999 the special effects are therefore sensational in which earns it a few points but scratch the surface and there is literally nothing there br br to make matters worse all performances in this film are atrocious and some actually wound me to watch character is with the most cheesy tough chick and it seems as though the director cannot quite decide where to go with her next – should she make her more detached or more emotional she doesn't know let's go both ways imagine you take a shotgun load it chock full of character developments of different sorts and there fire into a random mess this is the character of br br the film puts forward all the ideas in a society individual vs society nature vs science emotion vs cold reason etc you've seen all of this before and better done at that go read or or even watch run 1976 or blade runner 1982 anything avoid this cheese fest for as long as you can br br 3 10,negative
i saw this film at the sundance film festival and i too was surprised that it didn't generate more notice because it was not only powerful and beautifully crafted but very original the audience was totally engaged and the greatest part of seeing a film like this at a festival is the opportunity to talk to the director and cast in the q a session afterward they literally had to throw us out of the screening room for the next film we could have gone on for a lot longer the film is thought provoking and hilarious at the same time it will be a shame if this film isn't picked up for wider distribution i hope it will at least become available on dvd because i want to see it again and share it with everyone i know,positive
dumb is right tom and jerry reach their goal of a non stop air flight to africa but then worry about mixing in with the natives they put on crash the plane try to survive on an airplane wing floating in the ocean and then survive the wild animals once they get on land br br having read a few reviews before seeing this i knew what to expect it was simply these two guys doing their and andy impressions offensive to blacks of course but that's the 1930s for you some of their lines were funny some were stupid the main fault i had with this cartoon was the audio as it was often not easy to understand what these two guys were saying br br in all a curiosity piece but don't let the racism stop you from checking it out at least it gives you an idea of how times have changed for the better,negative
great another foreign film that thinks it's fellini on top of that we have to have more propaganda about murdering disabled people br br i see no reason why we have to be with these disguised commercials br br i found nothing redeeming about this film what can be redeeming about a man without the courage to carry on in spite of some it does not take courage to commit suicide that is the action of a coward sharing this wish with his woman simply her with the same illness he has if this had been a film about a man's courage to go on in spite of his problems similar to the jill story that would have made it a great film br br if you're interested in seeing true courage check out the movies about jill the former who was disabled after a bad accident,negative
the kid is a really good family movie about a image russ who has lots of money a good job nice house etc the only problem is he doesn't have much of a social life as nobody seems to like him as he isn't always very nice one day though things are about to change when an eight year old version of himself magically appears this gives russ a second chance to make things right bruce willis plays the lead role here and he gives a really good performance the kid is a nice heart warming movie for everyone,positive
this film's premise seems to be that the passing of the world war 2 generation in america with its apple pie and morality was a terrible tragedy those awful hippies ruined everything apparently br br what holds the film together are the excellent performances particularly which is truly remarkable otherwise we have a boring slice of life drama just over 24 hours of jack's life with br br i found it a chore to sit through,negative

a brief history of time the content of this documentary is fascinating the thoughts provoking and the man brilliant yet i had a hard time enjoying this documentary br br the way the family members and are interviewed feels so unnatural these members were interviewed on specifically built sets and were directed mostly their accounts came across as very acted and directed the deliberate non inclusion of asked questions the given information into a very harsh and format br br i do not know who are for the but they did a dreadful job and with that took away from the viewing experience br br overall still a fascinating documentary well worth seeing if only for the interesting concepts presented,positive

travolta thurman the rock vaughn keitel and so on one should think that this star parade of great actors could really heat up this movie but no travolta takes on the role as again but this time we have already seen the gangster who tries hes luck in the hard world of movie making its not funny anymore this is a typically problem in hollywood they think that if the first was good the second will be twice as good no the first was original the second cant be hey hollywood try to understand originality cant be you got to give us a new twist not just the same movie again made with a bigger budget i constantly found my hardly laughing when i was watching this movie but still it got a lot of cool actors like harvey keitel james woods vince vaughn and the rock and for that and that only br br 4 10,negative
is a mindless vampire movie with a few twists on an ancient plot special team is sent into south america to hunt down blood sucking natives their leader is a real old man who has aged well there's an twist as the vampires are attacking because their rain forest and old of wild animals is disappearing because of the greedy and lost of fighting and so much blood they just never bothered to wash off the cast for the whole film it looks like they slept in the bloody clothes and on blood while each member of the cast brought their own talents it really didn't all click as a film the effects were ok except for the vampires from the buildings on if you're looking for lots of blood and violence this is for you,negative
the production company for this film calls itself and that is a surprisingly apt name this very is very entertaining from start to finish which is a shame because a mix of zombie movie and western could have been interesting every time a low budget zombie movie is released it will tend to be for the fans by the fans i do actually consider myself a fan of zombie movies but too many more like this one and i'll be re my opinion the film seems to be a rip off of the half decent aussie zombie flick expect instead of just having the lead in a cowboy hat everyone is wearing one but this doesn't make a lot of sense because the film is apparently set in modern times the credits sequence at the start of the movie fools us into believing that we're going to be in for an atmospheric film but when the movie starts properly it soon becomes apparent what we're actually in for naturally there's a fair amount of gore and it is actually fairly well done though the good things i have to say about the film pretty much end there there's a twist half way through which might have been interesting if the rest of the film was overall this is just another zombie movie in a world with far too many zombie movies i don't recommend it,negative
i purchased this film on dvd for but it was a waste the film is very bad the plot is your average monster film where it kills a few people the mayor chief doesn't believe it and they fight it at the end br br on the plus side the film quality is very good and the setting of new york is impressive for a budget film as opposed to a small town the acting is reasonable too br br however the special effects in a monster film are laughable and the addition of a random bus load of kids to the plot half way through just gets weird the ending is just bad br br in summary whenever you have a chance to see this don't there will be something better on br br r t c true horror films don't have a pg rating,negative
the earlier review is pretty much on target which altman was not with this film i haven't seen it since its original release but i have seldom spent two hours in a theater feeling as miserable and disappointed as i was with this film if some pretentious community theater attempted a sci fi version of a bergman film it might come off like this i can't bring myself to give anything altman has made a 1 but this is probably the of a career that has had some remarkable and i would have walked out but as a paid film critic i couldn't think about that the next time you envy movie critics,negative
oh man i hated this movie granted the site locations were great but that's about the only positive thing i can say about it now i'm going to state right at the beginning that i am very critical of the way weapons especially are both portrayed and handled in movies being a war flick portrayal was fine but the shoddy weapons handling in the movie would have never been by a real seal team the acting was more wooden than my first the equipment carried or lack of it was laughable and the dialogue was shall we say lacking in anything interesting well with the exception of the journalist which was actually watching this movie was comparable to watching with woody where each scene was so bad you just couldn't turn it off because you had to see if they could get worse with the next scene like they certainly did the scene in the water where after shooting the first of the enemy they blow the damn boat up thereby having to face possible drowning made me laugh so hard that for a i almost thought it was worth waiting through the movie for then charlie sheen decided to drag the surviving enemy down to the depths of the ocean the way it was filmed with the many camera cuts it looked like they went down about 80 feet nice continuity there before his throat was so damn stupid i was stunned then again so was the whole damn movie i enjoy action movies but not this one note the version i watched was a tv version pan i can't imagine that made a difference except for making the whole thing shorter,negative
airplane apart i don't think i've ever laughed at a film so much in all my life br br i love football like mad but i tend to hate almost any song or film about football as they tend to be unrealistic this wasn't br br i watched it once it was over 2 years ago it was brilliant everyone i know loved it i remember the gay the pitch at about a 45 degree angle and a player so named because he once turned up for training in a new pair of shoes brilliant that's what goes on in park football br br a definite 10 10 if anyone from the tv industry is reading this considering all the crap you repeat on english please have the sense to show this again and the muppets while you're at it also does anyone know if this was shown on bbc or i think it was so it's worth asking them if they plan to show it again they should do,positive

three young movie theater employees are given the task of re opening a long closed old time theater at which many years before a shocking series of grisly murders took place it seems many more murders have occurred since then but all of this remains unknown to these three young employees hoping to finally make it big on their own as they approach the grand re opening night things keep getting stranger and more unsettling with items suddenly starting to move around by themselves without any seen aid and a terrifying old man seemingly haunting the premises br br oh this is truly horrible in fact if it wasn't for mary secretary character being such a independent young woman who steals practically every scene in which she appears and the incredibly hot chick who played the unbelievably sleazy yet totally sexy this would be a total loss the only other good thing i have to say about this film is some of the movie theater murders are done in truly inventive albeit not overly gory a for me but not necessarily for others fashion the rest just in constant sleaze so extreme the rare few may actually find humor in it and runs through the predictable slasher kills annoying characters off one after the other routine,negative
i strongly recommend it to anybody who likes good plots good actors even if not well known often it's just better that way science and or science fiction presented in an intelligent way on the small screen good special effects even if they did not have of dollars to produce it br br much better than any war in the stars br br there was only one comment which was not necessary talking about the the says that life was maybe brought on earth through a that's fun there must be always a chance for a magic way huh that's what's great about life can come anywhere no need of force,positive
like night stalker and then x files the show set up a fantastic situation and the main characters had to sort it out unlike these the hero weren't left holding an empty bag at the end they had usually results it was also made clear that the were in a dirty profession where they occasionally had to pull some nasty things imagination wit acting which didn't always take itself too seriously i miss it one reason being i'm hard pressed to think of too many shows aside which did as good a job of taking the viewer and grabbing their attention right off the bat the writers at setting up hugely improbable if not downright impossible situations which the characters then had to find an explanation to explanations which often took 90 degree turns into the clearly unexpected yet for all that still made sense too i agree with another reviewer that the character was somewhat underused but when she was on screen it wasn't just for eye candy she was quite competent in her own right and stood up to the two male leads when she felt the point she was making it a in those days sullivan if he wasn't in the department he'd be working for the or cia he's that sort of efficient ruthless type he knows how the world works and realizes what it can take to get the job done king it's clearly a game to him one he excels at and which he into ideas for the detective spy novels he writes as his job he's probably the most fun to watch of the three although they all have their moments and often too i do agree that the eventual spin off series featuring only his character lacked the interest of the original however,positive
son of the mask is a terrible movie i don't like the baby and i don't like the dog jamie kennedy and his wife are a cute couple but that can't redeem sitting through this garbage even at only minutes or so it says the movie could not end soon enough for me the only real laughs come at the beginning with a brief appearance by ben that's it the rest is just a rehash of the first movie actually that is just an insult to why was this sequel made this movie cost millions of dollars to make why would i sit through a movie with a baby and a dog intentionally trying to drive the dad crazy jamie kennedy is talented but he has nothing to do in this movie i am not bothering to be nice to this movie 1 10,negative
what can you possibly say this is the uncut hardcore musical alice it works too with a large energetic cast seemingly enjoying themselves to the and whilst one could wish for a re version i guess we are lucky to even have this video transfer pretty much a delight throughout there are a couple of slightly off moments but this could have been embarrassing all through and it certainly is not it also could have been and today would have been too camp no a very fine effort that is amusing and just sexy enough fine performances particularly the in the lead and was that an richard prior as the prone knight being if ridden,positive
this indie film is worth a look because of the enormous talent of its creators wallace and forbes mr has directed the young cast and he is to be praised for this effort br br the premise of the film is a tale of the danger for wanting something one can't have which is the story of alice and ed after living together for a while alice suddenly gets restless because she she's lacking experience in the sex area alice and relationship while not an example of ideal happiness is a comfortable way to share their lives with one another that is until the moment alice and claire her sister happened to into a sexual encounter by another couple that has no clue of being observed br br this incident makes alice her own sexual life with ed she finds it lacks substance when she other ed is shocked to put it mildly but not wanting to alice he decides to go along what happens next is that both alice and ed enter into a world that's been unknown to them the people they meet in the end are not worth the trouble they sadly realize at the end they were made for each other br br the film is worth watching in order to see the amazing nicholson who we happen to have liked in another indie film ms nicholson reminds us of a young shirley she projects such a quality about her that is hard to take one's eyes from her whenever she is in a scene this young actress proves she is an accomplished performer who gets better with each new appearance basically she carries the movie her alice is a study in alice is a decent woman who thinks she is in pleasing ed because of her br br jay is an excellent match for ms nicholson both do wonders together his ed is perfectly credible we have known people like him deep down inside he is a good person who suddenly gets himself in a situation he didn't call for yet he goes along only to discover he is too decent and not cut out for a life of gratuitous sex with the willing women that have no problem with a in the just for fun br br the rest of the cast is wonderful lauren graham does some amazing work as claire sister andy is also wonderful as the grounded carl the nerdy friend who finally finds out when he meets penelope a single mother as penelope helen slater makes a albeit of a short appearance in the film br br the director is enormously gifted who will no doubt go places because he shows he is well suited for the job,positive

i highly recommend this movie to everyone my son and i read the book first and then saw the movie while the book was better in my opinion the movie was still great my son and i agree that while we like the book version the best we liked the ending of the movie better than the book ending the scenery is just tremendous and the soundtrack is a must have the fact that jimmy has a small role and provides music is an added plus luke wilson does a decent job in his role of officer and is pretty much what i had mentally imagined would look like when i read the book i'm surprised that this didn't do better in the theaters and i'll be waiting for the dvd to come out,positive
this movie was fun if all over the board br br it essentially follows the comedic romp of two grave robbers in 19th century england who move from conventional body to in vampires zombies and dead aliens i have no idea what the alien was doing in there and neither did the producers i think br br but was it funny you bet even ron who is often the kiss of direct to dvd death was pretty good in this one as a priest who turns out to be the of a rival gang of body br br a real joy to watch this hilarious little film and a good example of what you can do when you don't have larger than life on either side of the camera,positive

i'm seeing a pattern here if you see a movie on mystery science theater 3000 chances are if you go to imdb com there will be of lovers of the film yet it was picked to be on that tv show because it was bad i'm sorry but i read a lot about x m as being some landmark sci fi film that realism well if that is the case i could write for several about how even with 1950's knowledge this movie is utterly flawed gravity might be the first obvious observation or as mst3k did as a skit gravity also what about when they are to their death and they are just standing there looking out of the window um the ship being upside down effect that scene i would like to think that they started with good intentions and that it ran over budget or something but i think this movie was just plain cheese as in the from under type just compare this to when worlds which was released in 1951 to see the true place where this movie ranks there's no comparison the movie gets a 2 or maybe 3 on its own its not even funny to watch on its own it gets about a 5 or 6 as a mst3k episode as there is no action or much to make fun of just bad bad bad oh did i mention it's bad,negative
i've already seen spin offs of cartoons such as the scooby doo tom and jerry and looney tunes and most of them are great br br when i saw the all grown up pilot in 2001 i thought it was interesting to see how the would look in their pre teens teens and it contained things that would usually happen during that time of life such as going to a concert going to school and being grounded br br the actual tv show is better because the seem to wear different clothes in each episode and doesn't get as much as she did in the original series tommy and get in this series br br i've also noticed references to in this show and even flashbacks of how the looked in the original series they actually talk to the adults in this show because they're 10 years older br br this show is aimed at a slightly older audience than the original viewers of the original show may like this,positive
this is a stupid movie like a lot of these karate movies it is badly written awkward and sometimes just stupid the action really isn't all there and the movie overall leaves much to be desired everyone here is talking doing bad karate and doing a very bad job of acting br br watch for in a small role he is too good for this movie overall jim kelly is good at karate but he is a terrible actor gloria is real bad all of them are there are just so many parts to this film that make absolutely no sense the supposed love running away scene with and kelly what the hell was that they destroyed that man's guitar for no reason br br and then there was the mandatory girls on now what was that they were in the movie for five seconds then you never heard from them again then there is the whole charged element of the movie which is cool and all but in this movie it goes absolutely nowhere like i said this is good for a laugh one time but don't watch it again,negative
if like me you enjoyed the first film bruce almighty my advice to you is not to get your hopes up too high in fact disregard any hope you possess for this movie if you are above the age of 12 and have any film sense at all br br without giving too much away the story sees nemesis co anchor from the first film move home with his family to the to change the world with a new political path what follows is a rather far fetched and quite storyline which is obviously set out to target young children as the main target audience unlike it's predecessor almighty is a family film with the ambiguous genre of upon it's misleading position of to which some would regard a modern day comedy classic that can be enjoyed by a slightly more mature audience br br generally speaking almighty itself of terrible cinematic values the acting steve carell and morgan freeman was rigid and many of the characters were seemingly thrown in to use up the unnecessarily large budget for the production additionally the cast includes acting legend john goodman who makes an appearance as a and is seen just a few times in the movie's entirety i didn't quite buy the character though and thought the storyline from which he was involved in lacked depth even for a family comedy every other character in the movie especially the wife and kids deserve a mention for their acting so cheesy it could fill a king size be warned though it is the typical associated with many mainstream family films so i'd advise you defend yourself with the nearest in sight br br it may seem the movie is worthless thus far however it does have some promising aspects the cgi was outstanding and it was clear that a lot of time went into the and producing water effects and animation of the computer generated animals towards the end the and used were stellar although part of me couldn't help but think these were to a movie with such poor ideals and were in my opinion for this piece of cinema and carried the movie throughout br br overall i view this film as a disaster in terms of continuing what was a franchise with huge potential but unfortunately it fell short to a bad conclusion in the almighty series and approaching the end of the film i had set my expectations high for an epic and somehow meaningful finale to make up for the mediocre content i had so far witnessed this wasn't the case and i was deeply disappointed and confused come the closing credits as i sat i couldn't help but think the movie wasn't anywhere near as as i hoped for in many ways the film reminded me of a watered down night at the museum as it showed similar and characteristics but unfortunately was below even that br br i give this movie 3 out of 10 as it is watchable but it's definitely one to be avoided if you have to see this film be prepared for disappointment as is the best you could hope to obtain in watching the said production,negative

like many others i had been attracted to the combination of ford and scott thomas i had enjoyed the work of and ford on sabrina a well made film and a careful rewrite of the old material on hearing that this film was in production i ordered and read the book immediately it seemed that this would be a more difficult story to film the characters are not always sympathetic there is little if any humor and the author makes numerous plot to focus on his principal theme that since each would see the other as the only one sharing the unique combination of loss and betrayal brought on by the air crash the completely surprised would seek each other out moreover he that resolution could come to both through a bitter exploration of the hidden lives and that this experience of thick and thin could a deeper love than each had previously although much of the book deals with their and their building hatred of their former partners in the end acceptance and forgiveness are found the film script only the air crash and the shared of the where the woman is the research in the book it is the man in the film and the woman is never a willing co the film has a completely new dramatic sub plot for harrison ford which seems even more contrived than the double coincidence of the air crash the up for re election sub plot for the woman is also new yet it works better audience the expectations of pure romance or romantic comedy cannot be met because this story on a very bitter where resolution and forgiveness is achieved in the book however the burden of from the reader and there is no moment in the film although forgiveness is never hinted at we are left to that healing following a shooting does double duty ford's character need not be such an man of few words and scott accent change is a little at first this film is not the dead loss suggested by others it is however a difficult film to appreciate because the rewrite and adaptation to the screen is below the standard previously achieved by the director cast,positive

thats what this movie really takes a big piece of this movie is about a sister and brother bonnie and clyde type of duo that creates their own party line in order to lure their victims in and trap them and kill them but for what reason just for the fun of getting away with it in comes richard who comes across as a ladies man a real bad version of a ladies man and he gets involved with finding who's behind all the killings across la he finally meets a teenager who helps him find the killer and rest is for your fun and amusement but there are parts in this film that really get me going like the scene with dressed in his mothers wedding acting like a sissy in front of his sister telling her that he needs her and can't live without her and watching as she him across the face him i can't believe that was well i guess i could but it's worth watching but only to see one of worst films that he ever did,negative
i know that guts of a beauty and guts of a virgin are crap films and are hated by many but i'm gonna put myself under the bus here and say i like 'em especially guts of a beauty aka of a beautiful woman watched it the other night with some folks at the pad and i was surprised how well it actually went over br br is the type of horror sleaze epic that you really just don't find too much of outside of asia specifically japan in this case it's basically a rape revenge flick with a monster instead of some silly shotgun murders or a or even a off daddy with a chainsaw that just silly wouldn't you rather see a monster with a hilarious little snake monster for a br br factor this movie is high in graphic sometimes wacky rape sequences fake pop shots and satisfying masturbation and monster sex sequences that you like if you like corman like from the deep i maybe that's a stretch but i personally didn't think of a beautiful woman let me down as an avid fan of asian sleaze and b br br yeah i know sometimes some of my are not always everyone's tea even for those of you who like the same kind of garbage as i do but i stand behind this one 8 10,positive
in a country divided by religion and language the civil war between the pro government and the of a organization has claimed an 000 lives since 1983 human rights groups have said that as a result of the war more than one million people have been homeless or living in camps the impact on children and families caught in the conflict is by acclaimed director in his 2002 film a peck on the cheek winner of several awards at the national film awards in india while the civil war is merely a backdrop for the story of a young girl's voyage of discovery the human cost of war is made quite clear and gives the fighting a universal context pointing the finger at global arms as the source of br br beautifully photographed in southern india by cinematographer k in a setting the of the film tells a moving story about an adopted 9 year old girl who sets out to find her real mother in the middle of the fighting in played with deep feeling and by p s in a memorable performance is brought up by a loving middle class family with two younger brothers after her natural parents and j d were forced to flee when the fighting broke out leaving her in a red cross camp in a loving flashback we see parents father a prominent writer and mother a tv personality marry to their of the darker skinned little girl br br young has no idea that she is adopted until it is upon her abruptly on her birthday according to the parents' prior while she is playing tells her almost in a matter of fact tone that you are not our daughter and the response is predictable she questions who her father was what her mother's name was why she gave her up and so forth but few answers are runs away several times until her parents agree to go to to help her find her true mother now a fighter for the the family's in the reality of the civil war leads to some traumatic moments and difficult decisions handled mostly with skill by though a sequence where the family was caught in a felt amateurish br br a peck on the cheek is of course a bollywood style film and that means tons of music and melodrama the melodrama did not get in the way because of the strong performances by the lead actors however i found the musical of songs by a r counter to the mood of the film with their slick high production techniques and fast paced music video style editing yet the compelling nature of the story and the honesty in which it is told the film's limitations cinema has been criticized by many even within the country as being too clichéd and commercial yet a peck on the cheek is both a film of entertainment and one that serious issues that it successfully the line between art and is not a but a tribute,positive
everybody seems to compare this to the matrix and the 13th floor and when i first saw it i would have agreed i was expecting the matrix and was a little disappointed but upon repeated viewings my respect for this movie has grown immensely br br the thing to keep in mind is that the matrix is a great action movie with some philosophical thrown in the 13th floor is a passable action movie with some slightly more interesting philosophical thrown in is not an action movie at all and is not as many seem to believe about reality or any such deep concept it's about the human tendency to intentionally replace reality with an artificial both in its origin and in its behavior world of make believe br br the most chilling moment in the movie is when repeats her scripted line it's at that point you realize that the people in the game have their free will in order to participate in a story this is made even more frightening at the end when or rather his player comments on the possibility of spending one's life in the game i sympathize completely with the philosophy that providing interesting worlds in which people simply locate the correct path to the end goal is ultimately a recipe for a soulless existence living in the game is not living at all but is a way to spend one's time on earth as comments about the real world there's nothing going on here might as well jack into someone else's imagination and pretend to be doing something interesting although i have to ask whether considers this a self considering that he himself offers up worlds to be experienced in 90 minute snippets br br upon leaving the theater after first watching this movie i thought it was one of those movies that was watchable only to see how it ended but having seen it a couple more times thank you scifi channel i've realized how much deeper it goes seriously if you've only seen it once it deserves another viewing,positive
yes it's a so bad it's funny classic with a budget running into the of dollars some of the most abysmal acting you have ever seen and absolutely no even remotely frightening moments not even a camera work was at the school level one still shot outside a house was obviously hand held and blood looked like watered down someone made a trip to the local butcher shop for the human bones and miss witch had the mask wal mart could provide br br did anyone involved look at the final cut and realize what a mess this was most of the names in the credits have to be it would be career suicide to have this on your resume do yourself a favor and watch video of his instead,negative
destroy all planets winds up for all by film's end as a space monster resembling a giant falls to the known as gamera actually gamera is saving earth right from the get go knocking out space ship 1 even before the first set of film credits roll the scene switches to a japanese camp where we meet a pair of young heroes jim and who take part in exploits after being kidnapped by the aliens and aboard their ship in an bubble shield br br it's pretty startling to see the boys convince a scientist to let them operate a newly invented submarine that might be previously boy genius had the unit to run in reverse direction of it's controls but dr didn't think about checking that out as a possibility at least that prepared the boys for with the alien space controls by playing with a bunch of br br when boss alien says the hang on to your seats for footage from earlier gamera movies where he battles and these take up quite a bit of screen time but are no match for the fast forward button if you want to get on with it for the longest time addressed an invisible crew and when they finally appeared they were who could fly imagine that br br seeing as how these movies were made for a juvenile audience it's surprising to see how gruesome some of the scenes are gamera drawing blood comes to mind and how about the pair of space crew members being decapitated when started from the bodies i made a connection to the films having the individual to form the giant was a neat device br br i guess the appeal for young kids might in with the two young heroes who make friends with a giant monster move around pretty on an alien space ship and get to have whatever they want with the help of alien technology seeing as how the movie was presumably made by adults it could have been a simple case of wish,negative
this film was one of three that were later combined by into a that was released to theaters in the late 1950s under the title the chaplin review br br this was an odd film in some ways because later in life chaplin was anti war and his movies peace and this film in contrast is a propaganda comedy meant to the us efforts in wwi it's truly odd to see charlie as the super soldier who single captures 13 germans casually and shoots several germans in mere seconds as a and then goes behind enemy lines to try to capture the himself truly this was a major departure for the little tramp though it was at the same time very very entertaining and funny the film is exceptionally well paced well made and i'm sure did a lot to support at home for our troops too bad it was such a pointless and war,positive
but certainly a serious for one of the worst 10 of all time br br i got this dvd cheap with sandra as on the case this is false advertising she's on screen for almost 10 minutes of the movie br br on the other hand there was no other selling point for this movie the dialog was horrible the editing was apparently done by someone who was strung out on the directing was well let's just say that my 14 daughter could do better but i hope she never sees such faint praise from me it's possible that the family cat could have done better br br sandra does a job for a first film in the short time she's on screen and that's the only redeeming quality of this film stupid story poorly written and transferred to film as only a grade media class should be able to do br br in short this is dreck,negative
here's a spoof that's guaranteed to entertain folks in the iq range of homer simpson it's a cheap shot at every great superhero notably and batman but it doesn't end there it gets worse until it into a pathetic ensemble of slapstick by the br br for those interested in the plot you've only to watch while under the influence of some heavy what you get is man – a boy wonder who loves the girl next door suddenly some super powers br br the rest of the script is as predictable as waking up in the morning and your teeth but take my word for it for kids this is somewhat amusing for adults it's a great film to drop the kids off for,negative
i saw this film knowing absolutely nothing about both it and its stars chris and david spade and i have to say that this film is a comic classic it is so stupid at times that it can only be hilarious is brilliant as the bumbling idiot who takes to the road with his right hand man the equally excellent spade to find the funding to save the families business relax put your brain on auto pilot and up the fun a great supporting cast features film favourites such as brian rob lowe wayne's world and bo derek 10 highly recommended for a good laugh,positive
my husband and i watched this last night it was wonderful for once he was wrong in guessing ahead of time the suspenseful ending it moved along very quickly and the acting was superb i adore tom anyway he has never made a bad movie as far as i'm concerned the above description of his acting hits the nail on the head the facial expressions are incredible even the scenery is awesome we have just finished watched all of the prime suspect series and i am convinced that the british have a way of capturing the audience there is no doubt that i would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to get a few hours of entertainment,positive
i'm glad they finally released it on dvd i bought the video tape years ago and watch it at least once or twice a year br br has a wit about him that really makes this movie a success its formula is certainly not original but it's very funny nonetheless i am very surprised that it didn't receive higher in the ratings br br it ranks as one of my all time favorite comedies it's just a fun little flick that makes you feel good and sometimes that's all a movie is meant to be,positive
having been raised in canada i saw this short many times mostly on the cbc i have seen it numerous times at many ages in my life and each time the reactions are the same it is a bittersweet beautifully animated film that at your heart i am sure i have it on some vhs tape somewhere digging around br br every kid growing up can relate to the situation and wanting to fit in with your favourite the scene and look on the kids face when his mom is filling out the and his jumping around the room is priceless i haven't seen someone capture that mood of youth on film as well as this little short has br br sure i am a fan and that makes my appreciation for it more special but in the end it is the nostalgic look and feel of pond hockey and the memories of your family telling you that you should be for what you get even if it isn't exactly what you wanted and oh yeah the animation is beautiful too br br rating 10 out of 10,positive
charlie war is an excellent example of how films should be made this movie is of the highest quality and is cast perfectly tom hanks play the lead and delivers an exceptional performance furthermore tom hanks is by the acting ability of the incredible philip seymour hoffman i have never seen him in a role that suits him so perfectly br br the film is witty intelligent and well written julia roberts also stars in this film but is easily over by the other two leads br br i rated this film 10 10 and am pleased to recommend this film to anyone that is interested in quality cinema,positive
danny lee's performance as a cop is the only spot of interest in this film even though it has an excellent cast including fat andy on and alex man plays a boss who wants to settle down to a life of peace and plenty but alex man a total psycho who has a big grudge against won't let him tries to escape to but to no after his family is blown to bits his dead or wounded and broke returns to hong kong to get into some serious revenge br br it sounds a lot better than it is is well dressed and handsome looks and cries on cue but somehow or another you just don't care andy looks great but that's about it has a tiny tiny little part which was nice but she gets a bullet in the head early on so that ends that alex man is a cartoon villain he's so over the top which at times can be intriguing but the writing here is so flat that he just comes across as a garden variety nut br br danny lee is great though too bad he's only a small on the screen of this dark literally and essentially boring movie br br rent it don't buy it or just skip it altogether br br this is the sequel to rich and famous even though it apparently was filmed simultaneously it was released first because of power,negative
i recommend that movie viewers if in the new york city area go to the museum and get some idea of how closed in and the living was for the of world war ii vintage how much more so that must have been for the during world war i it must have truly been hell below br br walter huston and robert head the cast of hell below huston as the by the book captain and as his free number two they're both quite believable as naval officers and the rest of the cast like robert young eugene palette jimmy evans sterling etc fill their roles quite nicely br br the silent service got more popular during world war ii and after it's amazing but i could name a whole slew of submarine pictures like run operation pacific of the navy run silent run deep and many more and you'll see the same plot situations in all of them i guess there truly is a limit on situations as well br br jimmy performance is interesting he's pretty funny and his scene with the boxing while on shore leave is very funny indeed but i'd have to say a character like him in those quarters is probably very necessary for if you don't have someone like that to break the tension on board a submarine you ought to get one transferred to your ship immediately br br the highlight for me however is sterling death scene very similar to sean in island in the sky it will haunt you long after you've seen this film,positive

a brilliant animated piece that was far ahead of its time and certainly far ahead of anything that was being released in mass production at the same point in history the influence of this work upon tim nightmare before christmas is readily apparent one can only imagine how over every beautifully detailed frame of this masterpiece br br there have been very few animated films of this caliber it's a shame that more people haven't seen this gem br br apparently imdb now requires comments to be at least ten lines long so this is the line this must be something new but i really don't have anything else to say,positive
so it's a space movie but it's low budget you ask what about the effects the effects are at times good and at times really really bad i mean bad and notice i started with the effects br br there's a story here but it's told in what i think is the wrong order i don't mean a tarantino style wrong order i mean it's told in a completely nonsensical most of it's about a mother in the future because you know it's sci fi as told by her daughter which is mostly exposition done in narrative from the daughter's perspective only once you're through the first hour and hear paul voice as a computer do you realize how much more tolerable the constant narrative would have been if he'd read it this narrative is so constant and that the actors on screen hardly say a word for the first hour br br there's also a lesson here for you up and coming filmmakers if you're not doing 2001 and want to have some action this one does then please hire a good fight choreographer otherwise your fights will look like well what's in and notice the title has the word battle in it ugh br br i think this might be the classic scenario of trying to make a movie based on nothing more than a concept and some effects my biggest surprise is seeing the imdb listing this film as 1 8 million when you compare it to something like which did better with a budget of a few thousand you realize in low budget film making it's all about the story i wasn't expecting much but i was still disappointed two out of ten stars,negative
after reading previews for this movie i thought it would be a let down however after i got my region 1 dvd the dvd was available before the film hit the uk cinemas i was pleasantly surprised strong performances from all cast members make this a very enjoyable movie the fact that the script is quite weak means that you dont get down in story and therefore the repeat viewing factor is greater i recommend this movie to one and all br br,positive
the growth of tax and sale and schemes has led to a raft of films that are gathering dust in and all over the british because they seem to be made purely because they fit the financial rather than had any potential audience a lucky few get a week at a small screen in london before going to budget dvd but the distinguished itself by completely cinema tv or even the rental market to premiere as a free gift dvd in the mail on sunday br br it's all too easy to see why this ended up being literally given away aside from a couple of a boom mike is clearly visible in one shot it's not particularly badly made and while jones comes over like modern british version of mills mills as the reporter who wants to move up to the crime desk and the supporting cast from ham to vaguely passable themselves here by being either good or bad mediocrity is more the norm here the real problem is that like so many sale and tax films it's a film there's no reason to watch it it exists because the circumstances existed for it to be made but it lacks pace or forward momentum it seems to be aiming for the sunday telly audience despite being shot in scope but doesn't cut it there are a couple of ideas in this tale of a charles dickens and a couple of suspicious deaths in modern day but the mystery element is so painfully obvious as is the last minute supernatural twist you'll never guess who tramp really is what you guessed that you're almost expecting the scooby gang or the double to turn up to solve it br br it's a very film for all kinds of reasons a few cast members are playing double roles when they shouldn't even be playing one and the whole shock reveal of the truth of the dickens is completely because it's all narrated in the first person by dickens rather than the supposed character of the novel the main murder in the film is clumsily integrated into the main plot with characters suddenly reminding that he's forgotten about that one already an increasingly desperate final half hour that sees wicked jason secretary puts some in drink so she can have her wicked way with him and leave photos behind to make you look a with your girlfriend leading to him having a dream where he talks to charles dickens you're charles what's in a name who offers the somewhat less than likely suggestion that you read too many books but all that's as nothing compared to the finale which falls into utter absurdity with logic and common sense going completely out the window as it plays like some bizarre revenge tragedy with on the banks of the with two day guest stars and vanessa redgrave looking like they'd much rather be somewhere else mel smith turns up in a one day cameo so it's clear that the film's are mainly there for an easy or to meet their the film's final image is so utterly absurd and pointless as to almost make it worth watching though br br one curiosity is a fairly prominent role in the first third for vera day a sort of prototype liz and one time of 50s british films the in hell drivers the in ii here promoted to pub owner while comedian kenny lynch turns up briefly to give the best performance as an old school gangster oh and the late hunt makes his last bow as oh the irony a br br just to round out the package the dvd also included a trailer for the director's other film with jones bodies a looking british horror with scientists and in elmer duck hunter outfit by a 2000 year old victim from the nearest be i'm hunting i can hardly wait br br the one thing i can guarantee however is that every indie producer in the uk is going to spend the next few weeks trying to find out exactly how much the mail paid for the license to press the dvd they paid prince 000 for his new cd with so many british tax shelter on the shelf and with money so hard to find at the moment this could become an interesting market for british flicks,negative
seeing les calls immediately for comparison with movie 'the in my opinion the best film made about the 1968 revolt of students in paris actually director does not seem to avoid comparing with his much more famous colleague sharing the principal actor and even including a direct eye in viewer eye about an older film of and yet is a different film and an interesting one br br the story line seems also familiar the movie starts with long scenes of the 1968 maybe among the best done until now the film is made in black and white and the perspective of the static camera on one side or the other of the reminds then as in the the action moves in the flat where the heroes of the defeated revolt make art smoke drugs dream and fall for one other there is no direct social comment no real explanation of the background of the revolt the movie focuses on the psychology of the characters and on the love story between the main characters it's like a of the process of transition to the establishment that the generation of the 1968 went through it's just that not all the participants may adapt or survive br br the film is more about the characters than about the events and it is merely for the style it will be remembered about the black and white cinema is memorable not only in the revolution scenes but also when looking at the characters evolution many sequences are enhanced by a technique that is derived from the silent films movies with long takes accompanied by a off piano tune the effect is exquisite yet the length of the film is hardly justified it lasts more than three hours and i doubt that cutting it to only two hours would have been a miss actually i am convinced it's quite a contrary br br without raising at the depth and subtlety of movie is another perspective to remember about one of the more important years in the history of france and of the world in the 20th century,positive
richard is a canadian marvel and one that should be shared with the world be it for gut early work such as getting started and the oscar nominated through the apprentice and the made la is a local hero but no piece of work puts a on his career quite like the big and did i mention it was nominated for an academy award darn br br the big although clearly a dated message from the 1980s the short revolves around cold war esquire nuclear but don't worry – it's hilarious as hell carries with it a larger meaning as is most of work in an understated sort of way while the planet for cover from a couple over each annoying in true fashion he the furniture while she shakes her eyes – literally and don't forget to watch it again and again there's always something to look at loads this up with countless visual gags and memorable catch phrases br br i strongly encourage this incredible piece of animation be down in canada it's usually spotted in a national film board video that includes other stellar shorts including fellow equally funny the cat came back americans will just have to dig a little deeper but keep at it – the reward is worth the,positive

it stars war william separated who falls in love with a stunning doctor jessica jones set against the stunning backdrop of hong kong the cinematography is magnificent as they on a hill hong kong the story deals with racial tensions society on mixed relations and extra marital affairs but what i love about it is the strong character of the heroine portrayed by jessica jones who is a doctor who stays humble and in her mission and stays loyal to her love despite that she gets at her hospital for with a married man by high one day william is called to the korean war which he covers and then that ill day she gets the news of his demise the end of course is tragic i cried when she went to their hill it was a very sweet ill love affair it all the odds the fact that she got fired from her job how his wife would not grant him a divorce yet their great love they experienced a great love despite it all i personally do not believe in affairs and think he should have not started something when he was bound to someone else and she should not have allowed herself to let it happen but despite that a truly magnificent movie i think the heroine overshadowed the hero jessica jones is and gave a magnificent performance although i thought it strange they didn't not hire a real asian actress or someone with asian blood i agree with one review jessica jones sexuality when she lays on the ground and looks up at william speaking but her eyes say come take me now br br i find it a pity most great films were made before i was born it seems many hollywood movies are lacking in depth great acting and depend entirely on stunts and heavy sex scenes this is truly one of the greatest ill love stories in movies,positive
a by the numbers exercise with a disappointing non and usage of the term ' the cinematography appears right out of basic cable land which any semblance of murky atmosphere from the proceedings in addition there's not nearly enough gore sex or attractive young things to the majority of the film's targeted viewers that being said the lead actress who plays the possessed has a sexy skinned presence what else needs to be said about this non winner don't rent unless you've got a thing for middle aged adults their past and with clichéd priests hispanic all their past actions,negative
i have to say that some of the other reviews of this film i have read show very little understanding of it or the original tv series it from army was a sitcom and therefore had humour and so is bound to have put a smile on the face of the dire situation however the series carried very many serious messages such as the episode about the and ignorance that was attached to the film was faithful to the series and was simply like an extended episode so i'm afraid the reviewer who claimed that columbia improved the humour was quite wrong and let's face it the bbc sitcoms of this period beat anything that came out of america hands down also comments referring to propaganda were also way off the mark the were people considered for service who still wished to serve they were very brave men who knew they were sentenced to death as soon as they signed up as hitler announced that anyone who did so would be executed if and when britain was thank you for allowing me the opportunity to set the record straight as it is always good to actually speak and comment on what has been seen rather making it up as you go along i find,positive

bad sequels this one's a real one when the first movie was very very bad you have to be fool to make a sequel worse actors worse scenario worse special effects worse movie this is history bad history i give it 0 and a half for laughs out of,negative
this love story between an american journalist and an lady doctor does not contain much conflict since she is largely having studied in london nor any fireworks since she behaves rather restrained what little interest the story manages to raise is knocked down further by their wooden dialogs they are supposed to be two but talk as if the words are put in their mouths by a hollywood hack who is not much of one himself the movie also suffers from an amazing lack of realism a completely deserted beach in crowded little by a million chinese and a presumably accomplished american journalist in his 40s who doesn't know what a is hollywood ideas finally the song after hearing it an twenty times throughout the movie starting right with the credits it tends to loose some of its emotional impact sorry to say,negative
the second episode of the new lost gives you just what its fans were lacking a fair amount of riveting action from the very first scene you keep seeing brand new features you weren't expecting to encounter it's the best proof that the series its 4th season is still alive and kicking hard br br although the producers don't us with some more flash this time the return to flashbacks is more than satisfying as it brings some shocking facts the flashbacks introduce a few fresh characters and the familiar ones turn out to be connected in a surprising way br br the fresh characters dominate the whole episode and i can't say it does any harm their scenario parts and their actors both do extremely well providing us with a feel right after the episode you'll realize that the show really needed people just like that and here they are br br confirmed dead is full of gripping action and greatly written dialogues i'm sure i'll quote the best scenes of the episode for the long time they're just that good that they remain on the mind the episode is entertaining smart and you like lost you have to watch it my vote is ten,positive
if you listen to the god satan then you know what's going on with split i found that watching the film under the influence of helped to deal with audio video from fantastic editing job the plot was only important from second to second the acid helped to interact with the sounds and general pace of this masterpiece don't bother writing about something out of your reach there just isn't enough of these great independent attempts at expression at it's most raw amateur level i dare anyone to make a movie that can equally mess with my head and change the way i look at visual arts and the world's reality not to mention the many realities that haven't yet been explored by this humans mind i love the vision of chris shaw i also appreciate the film the by e,positive
this movie is honestly the worst piece of rubbish i have ever seen this is slow plot less and boring the cinematographer deserved to be shot there were various aspects of unintentional comedy one of which was jared being oddly camp raised many laughs but also many don't watch with anyone anytime any place if u hate someone recommend they buy or rent this big waste of time and money thanks gus van not i cant think of anything else to say except don't ever see this movie it will make u want to jump off a cliff hope gus and his mates read this comment before it's too late and he makes a sequel or some other catastrophe with what appeared to be shot with a camera phone,negative
initially i was put off renting this movie due to the jacket art for the dvd in fact this held true with friends of mine who didn't rent it due to the art and the mental image s it of being a movie that held little or no interest to me or to my friends but i rented and watched it and was truly amazed br br i agree with another comments that this movie is not for everyone due to the blatant sexual so it is definitely not something i'd want young children to watch and doubt seriously if they would understand it anyway br br i enjoy movies like this the character's personalities and who they are are genuinely defined in a no nonsense direct way with no to indicate they will turn out bad the acting done was it acting and jackson performed so well i was drawn into this movie not even realizing they were acting same thing with the story may seem far fetched somewhat but it was done so very very well it reminded me of another movie with mel gibson tim where each character had limitations whether mental or so were well defined br br i found much depth in this movie with the character's involved so feel that everyone involved from the to the actors should be on a perfect fit result after viewing this movie i had talked to a couple of friends who had a negative approach to watching it like i did so after hearing my comments they rented and watched it they too were quite surprised at how good it was it is too bad that the art on the jacket was done the way it was since it is a turn off i can see now how the art applies but i'd not heard of this movie before and the art was my first impression art sells or destroys dvd sales br br these characters had more depth to them and good timing was to give an audience like me time to the feel for each i felt i could trust the movie to flow well and it did so with the jacket art aside i would recommend watching this movie,positive
there are so many things wrong with this movie i don't even know where to begin the story is not cohesive at all i guarantee that five minutes into the movie the average viewer will be scratching his her head in confusion br br here's what i remember of the movie before i was bored into a quasi abusive dad chases some pre teen sisters through a house but turns out to be not that abusive after all in the next scene the girls are about 15 they're driving with their parents and hit a deer the deer must have been explosive because their car blows up one sister drags the other from the burning then the girls are in a boat on a lake and make a huge plan to go to kentucky and start a new life in the very next scene the girls are toward a military base and what a military base it is actually it's more like a farm converted to look like a military base with plenty of confused extras playing soldiers the base office is particularly awesome because there are random things like an hanging on the wall and a sergeant hat to a so the audience is sure to know that this is a military guy's office then some random dude pushing a motorcycle shows up and the base commander orders him to go into town to buy some porn and to make sure the soldiers don't think that he's on the pink team so our character takes a pickup converted to look like an army truck to town and loads up a box from a book store with a doll by the front door the girls hide in the guy's truck when he stops to gas up and look through the porn to find items inside like the i guess that's enough of the plot to scare most people away plot aside the sound quality is terrible and the movie is full of cheesy attempts at symbolism like a radio preacher talking about forbidden fruit during the scene where the sister meets the main character for the first time or how the camera way too long on certain shots to try to convey a message br br if you ever see this for sale or rent or whatever stay away it's not worth the money in either case,negative
another one that slipped by the radar of most anyone this little b produced gem is so full of new ideas in an old genre and so absolutely refreshing and inventive that a dreadful feeling about the lack of in today's cinema slowly your body the final set piece is so innovative in its setting and style that it everyone from tarantino to john woo oh and if you think dying lines are all cliche wait for the dying line of a piece of dialogue that could have torn you with laughter will take your heart a true pleasure seek it and see it you won't be sorry,positive
this story of ted an american pilot who is the sole survivor of the crash of an allied plane in in january of 1944 is pretty much of a mess the title would lead you to think that it is a story about the armed resistance groups but that seems to be just a backdrop to prop up a silly love story between ted and claire the woman who takes ted in husband is a committed resistance member but it is claire who decides in absence and against his wishes to give ted br br crucial plot details don't make sense central to the story is the of the on the plane that contains and the positions of targets but in the opening scene we see the plane resistance members among them why did they not retrieve the items at that time instead of waiting for the nazis to come and guard the plane and the whole affair of ted out of the area was using secret and code words when the could have just been a simple exchange the music attempts but fails to lend some weight to this tepid br br the most ludicrous part of the movie is how the love affair develops between ted and claire at first claire is devoted to ted back from near death and when ted starts to recover they become physically involved while is conveniently away resistance business julie does a passable job as claire but she effects a french accent that i frequently found impossible to understand her seemed a little weak at times when informed of the hanging deaths of several town members she as though she had just been told that the local was out of as ted bill paxton seems just to be his lines his performance is so uninspired that it's embarrassing a true american pilot might evidence such a flat personality but it does not make for convincing cinema i did not sense any chemistry between these supposed lovers br br the most idiotic thing is the way that ted and claire act like lovers on holiday maybe sexual release from such heavy situations is understandable but to appear totally oblivious of the gravity of the situation is hard to at first ted is to an attic room and claire about his even coming into the house but as things develop he not only comes into the house he dances with claire to loud music enters the to have a game of baseball with a local boy and ultimately goes on a car trip with claire to a nearby town br br the young boy seems to be most committed to his role but he is by the script he has an uncanny ability to be at crucial events without being noticed and when he delivers lines like br br have you ever seen someone get they look like dancing but they can't find the floor br br you feel that it is the screenwriter talking and not a thirteen year old boy br br and oh by the way there are scenes to show that the nazis are pretty bad guys br br comparing this film to the brilliant and about the polish resistance or the equally stellar about the french resistance one realizes what a truly dismal affair it is,negative
my one line summary hints that this is not a good film but this is not true i did enjoy the movie but was probably expecting too much br br adele who is portrayed by susan sarandon did not come off as a very likable character she is and irresponsible to what would be an unforgivable degree were it not for the tremendous love she has for her daughter this is the one thing she knows how to do without fail daughter anna is a sad girl who is so busy making up for her mother's shortcomings that she does not seem to be only 14 17 years old this of course makes natalie portman the perfect choice to play anna since she never seems to be 14 17 years old either portman pulls this role off with such ease that you almost forget that she has not been making movies for 20 years yet even with the two solid leads wayne wang never seems to quite draw the audience in as he did with the joy luck luck and even more so with smoke though i have not read the book the film feels as if it has made necessary changes to the story to bring it to the big screen changes which may drain the emotional of the story i enjoyed the film for the fun of watching two wonderful actresses do their work but i never got lost in the experience and i never related to their plight,positive
well i like this movie first of all because it's very well thought of and well because the um director and others chose an extremely great actor to play mike and also my last reason because my opinion wood is so so hot,positive
i watched this movie on a big screen a few months ago i didn't know what to expect precisely and for the first ten minutes i feared i might not enjoy this film it was beginning very slowly in silence and almost which was all the less exciting as the sound was quite bad and the subtitles sometimes impossible to read br br but i definitely do not regret to have gone on watching it it is one of the most beautiful bergman movies i've ever seen at the same time human ruthless and psychologically so convincing br br seldom have i seen actors play so wonderfully with such an intensity on their faces interpretation is unforgettable and is excellent too br br there is always psychological violence in bergman movies and this one may be the most physically violent of them all the strained relationships between the man and the woman in parallel with the physical violence that is surrounding them br br finally this sober violent and powerful film contains a surprisingly striking human depth an excellent bergman br br,positive
this film is full of interesting ideas some scenes are truly hilarious the dialogs are witty and the tension in the film comes not so much from the plot as from the relationship between the characters the film tells two stories in parallel br br the first story involves the characters played by and is an drifter with a somewhat ridiculous macho who is followed by a naive young man played by with plenty of good natured smiles many good moments in the film come from the contrast between the two characters for example when tries to teach how to be br br the second story tells how a salesman played by jean gives up his job and his wife to find the murderer of a young friend plays the part with a kind of aggressive irony i wish i could describe this better br br after a while the viewer understands how both stories are connected and they meet indeed in the end in a surprising but also logical ending br br the film is a successful mixture of the witty but superficial gangster films the director's father the celebrated michel used to write and the typical french film with lots of psychological depth and lots of care in the display of emotions,positive
is a fine drama even though they're are some problems with the ending lauren plays who is trying to avoid college to make her mother not notice she makes up that everybody thinks her mentally challenged sister wrote all the acting is first rate especially lauren and amy they both put in great performances the climax is also very powerful there are only two bad parts first is the character of stewart worthy played by christopher lloyd his part is underdeveloped the other weakness is the ending it goes around in circles which i didn't expect with the min run time besides that the movie is definitely worth watching,positive

king of romania is a vampire but a vampire of light who wants nothing more than to live in peace and harmony with mankind but his son is a cruel creature to his very heart which is pretty obvious as soon as you see him three female students have come to study local but find themselves drawn into the vampires legends at just the wrong time has been killed br br who can say anything bad about a film featuring a cameo from i can't i mean i had some low expectations after seeing other full moon pictures puppet master in particular and demonic toys but despite the really bad animated effects of the demons this film was actually really well done and very fun to watch plenty of blood a good plot and the story was surprisingly refreshing and even some new angles on the vampire which you'd think would be dead by now maybe i'm wrong but this is probably the first film to feature being fired from a gun aside from vampires and blood you get a share of nudity gratuitous but welcome and i had to notice the excellent score from the not sure who deserves credit but those involved include stuart richard william michael and john this is horror 101 all the way heck you even get two sequels which is the sign of a true horror film of course some bad films get sequels too did i mention puppet master the romanian theme was well done and the film even seems to have been made by if i am guessing their name origins correctly and the score the music really stood out for me as a nice change of pace very mood setting i like richard band but i'm glad another composer was given a shot because he nailed the atmosphere on the head if you like vampire films and want a slight variation one of the eastern european variety this is worth seeing,positive
to say that this is a good show is not to say anything at all after all this show is made by the same crew responsible for airplane and other hilarious and brilliant movies writing is superb even though the show is built on one liners they don't become overbearing or annoying leslie is his comedy muscle to the full extent as if saying you ain't seen nothing yet the format was definitely polished to introduce naked gun when watching these movies notice how many are taken from the tv show the brilliant part is that they don't have to be changed too much the show was truly a testing ground for bigger and better versions to come later,positive
so it might not be entirely historically accurate and there is little or no real character development but for jake son of scott's first attempt it's well worth the ticket price br br captain james lee miller looking as good as ever may be a gentleman but he hasn't got the money or the clothes to prove it robert with all his clothes on is an turned outlaw the circumstances of their strange meeting involve a dead body a ruby and eventually a as the gentlemen as the tag line says they rob the rich and that's it there isn't really much background or even in depth development but the object seems to be to the of enough money and to pay for the two passage to america one small problem falls in love with the chief ward rebecca tyler who happens to also have caught the eye of the thief taker general br br the plot is original enough the casting is excellent especially alan as the drag lord rochester and miller also together in they haven't lost their dynamic the is fantastic the makeup is outrageous and the music is hard edged with a strangely classical jake scott has an eye for light and shadow a good sense of balance between spectacle and plot and he isn't about showing the more unpleasant side of century london and lucky for us he likes close ups of faces especially eyes lee eyes and too but hey who is this movie about rebecca no and but there's more to this movie than just pretty faces at the risk of sounding cliche it's a fast furious and sometimes frustrating ride with the most noble since robin hood sleazy and violent scott's debut film makes for an entertaining evening at the movies br br as says i was terrific and it was a bloody good laugh,positive
i discovered this late one night on turner classics i kept saying to myself i'll turn it off as soon as it stops being funny but needless to say i watched the whole way through br br i am a movie but i had never even heard of this movie or if i did in 1971 i forgot it's worth watching just for the performance of goldie hawn as the her acting is a revelation in this movie yes the script is sharp and excellent when was the last time they made a hollywood comedy with a smart script but her acting is extraordinary i never realized how funny goldie could be and it makes her later appearances in roles such as laugh in and private benjamin a little sad in her later career she is far too over the top compared to her funny appearance here br br it's a pleasure watching the young matthau the great bergman and the stellar supporting cast but it's goldie hawn that will make this movie worth watching again,positive
i attended a screening of this movie it was with clichés and very unfunny jokes and set ups i think the other comments were by people who must've worked on the movie or been family members of the cast i'm amazed this movie cost 3 4 million without any real stars where did the budget go it obviously didn't go to writers for re writes nice thought to bank on the success of big fat greek wedding but a major miss there was little or any spark between the main characters and the incident was a bit flimsy at best the direction was uninspired and looked like a student film br br i don't even know what it means everybody wants to italian is that a real saying i've never heard it,negative
put simply this mini series was terrible let me count the ways 1 absurd plotting 2 over acting 3 approach to characters 4 annoying narration 5 inability to create viewer interest br br this film can't even pass the soap opera for test i'm sorry i have not read this award winning novel so i am judging it only as a film but it really stinks imagine going to a party where they show you dozens of you look at the wide variety and want to taste them but suddenly they are and you wonder where they went that's like this film with way too many characters introduced and never drawn out there are enough stories and characters in this film to create a 20 episode series yet we are given less than four hours to it all br br there are more facial expressions and reaction shots of ed harris than you'll find on 10 000 monkeys the pace is extraordinarily slow br br dennis and helen hunt are so far over the top that their characters are not believable character is one dimensional br br the river metaphor becomes trite br br and probably the most absurd part of the film the cat this evil and vengeful cat who follows the hero around to scratch him and his seat covers well come on now it's not even good stephen king br br probably the most interesting character in the film and one who is not drawn well is john the disturbed boy whose final act of desperation accounts for the only plot device that works in this film br br just about everyone in this film is unbelievable br br to sum up there's little here to inspire the drama is poor melodrama it's just a terrible effort,negative
bed is a strange movie it's very convoluted as if it had a lot of ideas but lacked the ability to bring them all into one coherent story instead we get various that into their own separate little movies oh sure they eventually meet up in the end but it all seems rather superfluous of note is the girlfriend and her troubles at the hospital was this interesting then there were the we are spirits thus we have no elements which leads to the same problem that people had with ghost namely if the characters have no i e no form and they can phase through walls and what not how exactly do they keep from falling through the floor or up the ceiling for that matter br br bed was highly as a new breed of south korean film there's plenty of special effects but the movie itself is hollow and its faux melodrama will only touch those who are easy to well touch to begin with br br 4 out of 10 br br go to www com for a more detailed review of this movie and reviews of other foreign films,negative
i'd give this film a zero if i could how anyone could rate it any higher is beyond me until i saw this was my pick for worst film ever from a major studio with a real budget claiming 2 or in the hood as the worst ever isn't really saying much those are supposed to be bad br br tim mom must have needed surgery or something for him to agree to this non garbage i'm really not sure what happened here the novel was great the director frank marshall had a solid track record with alive and perhaps they should have changed the title to the cast was good and the budget was there you'd think someone would have bothered to read the script br br you'd be better off watching battlefield earth again than wasting your time with makes you long for the return of mst3k,negative
i saw years ago dubbed at a friends house i don't remember it much and then i saw at the video store there is a second one not really related to the first one makes a little cameo and that one was okay not as good as the first one i'm seeing the first one again tonight not dubbed edition i really like german movies like this one it's very interesting and people and like the one in the movie could exist i think i but it's very grossly entertaining and scary 2 is a little different and the characters are not as good as the first but if you really thought was interesting and good you should see the second one,positive
in the early 1990's step by step came as a tedious combination of the ultra cheesy full house and the long classic hit the brady bunch the differences between step by step and the two aforementioned shows was of course better writing excellent comedic timing from almost all of it's actors and a great deal funnier situations that weren't quite as sugar as it's extremely popular predecessors admittedly though even with the big in the show's basic dynamics and all it still wasn't exactly spectacular nor was it really even that memorable in the long line of corny family programming it was just a much better time you might say in comparison to the inducing full house which ran neck and neck with step by step during that time period in terms of overall popularity the show now in obviously is certainly suitable family fare but be sure to not expect much beyond that when watching it,negative

reading the book i felt once again drawn into castle rock things being the final part of the rock trilogy and the plot was a on the demon comes to small redneck village type story king likes to tell the characters were all described in loving detail and it made both a good psychological and gory horror the film on the other hand is awful gone are the character interactions and clever plot and replaced by a story that tries to be exciting but misses by a mile if you haven't read the book then you might enjoy this else avoid at all costs as with most films of king's books,negative

live together die alone is divided into three main story lines and each one of them alone would have been enough for a great episode so when you put all of them together you have a great 3 episode it was a daring move to give the flashbacks of a season finale to a character who had only appeared in 3 episodes up to that point but it worked his is absolutely fascinating to watch both informative about the past of the island the station itself and honestly moving and penny seem magically connected to each other even when they are on opposite ends of the world and both characters are beautifully acted it's hard not to cry when reads letter the action inside the is edge of your seat tense as locke is determined not to allow the button to get pushed again convinced it was all just a psychological experiment gradually realizes the consequences of this decision and is locked outside and tries desperately to get back in the melting of the clock and i was wrong are unforgettable moments the outside action has jack kate and captured by the others due to michael's betrayal after they make a puzzling discovery connected to the pearl and henry 's game changing return as the leader even the least important plot line and sun to the beach where the others are supposedly camping contains one of the greatest mysteries of the show the giant statue that's almost entirely missing except for a foot with four in short emotion history mythology adventure suspense the threat of a ray of hope a classic lost episode 1 2 out of 4,positive

i hate it when people in the movie theater talk back to the screen it's one of the main reasons why i stick to dvd's or videos i saw the on dvd but if i had seen it in the movies i would have had to stand up and scream he's not dead yet you moron br br the is another in a long list of horrible movies that feature mr redford legal up close and personal last castle and spy game if robert redford told me to in something i'd go the other way br br but the worst possible thing you can do to an audience is this say you're being kidnapped and your has a gun he's holding it on you for most of the movie you turn the tables on him and start him whatever you do keep him until he's dead don't just him for ten seconds stay with it ten minutes at least but bob stops too soon walks away and forgets about mr until he gets up finds the gun and holds it on our hero again at this point i wanted mr to shoot robert redford more than a few times and i wanted to shoot him as well,negative
going to need to take a deep breath for this one br br terrible special effects that tried to reach far beyond the limitations of the budget blatant and of other sci fi movies like pitch black terrible acting endless slow motion scenes of characters walking across sand meandering dialogue that does nothing to further the story characters wearing turtle neck on a desert planet with two a ship by a wearing crew of gun soldiers why exactly would you need forest in space anyway some of the worst casting choices in the history of no budget film making a captain who comes across more like a muscle beach jock than a commander and a convict who looks and acts about as dangerous as a bunny rabbit 70 minutes in length 35 of which could have been out if the director had any concept of of time through editing br br i won't go on suffice it to say that while some of this awful movie can and should be forgiven due to it's low budget the bad conception laughable plot holes and inducing script are unforgivable on any budget the end result is a tedious dull waste of time sorry guys i hate to be so harsh on an amateur film but you've no excuse for turning out this kind of work,negative
major spoilers watchable only for the action sequences not the story or acting in it nature unleashed fire has one of the longest and excruciating endings in modern motion picture history we have the ranger jake bryan leading this trio of hysterical to safety in of all an explosive mine this during a raging forest fire it seems that ranger jake with all his knowledge of the great didn't realize that a mine that's with dangerous and explosive gas is the last place to go when all the woods around it is on fire br br spoilers from this point on all this started some time ago when ranger jake in an effort to save the not that on the ball tiny chris aka the let him slip through his fingers and fall to his death at the bottom of the mine or did he even though we were kept in suspense to who's setting the forest fires for the first half of the movie it wasn't a surprise at all the tiny was the as you would expect in movies like these tiny seemed to be made of hardened steel in that nothing that ever happened to him fires explosions as well as could stop the crazed br br before or ranger jake got involved in chris mel sharon marcus josh cohen lewis griffith ross who were trapped in the woods with fires breaking all around them having the usual know it all marcus among the things don't go as smoothly as ranger jake wanted them to go marcus not only eggs on the meek chris to do something stupid jump with his bike over a 10 foot pile of but has the guy break his leg this makes it almost impossible for ranger jake to have chris air lifted out before the fires him as well as his fellow br br for the remainder of the movie ranger jake who put himself in charge makes after in his attempt to save himself and the trapped and lost in the woods all this ends with brilliant idea to hide in a dangerous and abandoned mine with the rescue party just away from them if they only stayed put and in the open where the rescue team could find them br br even though he was supposed to be the life of the party or movie tiny for all his efforts in being another super villain came across as a man who spent too much time out in the sun the make up job on tiny was so outrageous that he looked like he dumped a jar of spaghetti over his head instead of having it burned to a crisp br br ranger jake came across as either somewhat very naive or retarded in his being so taken in by the dangerous tiny in always trying to save the psycho who never his feelings about what he had in mind for the play by the rules forest ranger in fact ranger jake actually encouraged tiny to do both him and the in by showing him how incompetent he was in trying to save them the fact that ranger jake was successful wasn't because he was so smart but because tiny despite his was so brainless,negative

i'm sorry but they did leave the impression that these fought zombies before but they sure didn't act like they even seen a zombie before jumping and turning their backs on them like amateurs second the characters are pretty badly written the actors did the best they could with what was given i blame bad writing and bad directing lastly and here is where the spoiler are highest they loose the twice and the girl jennifer holland doesn't know if she's been bit or not how stupid is that as much as it hurts to be bitten one would think you would know plus of blood from your body is a good clue dumb the first movie had it's flaws but it has re unlike this disaster of a movie which i could barely get through once i give the house of the dead 2 no guts all stupidity the crap o,negative
i really loved this movie i thought it was very well done the character interaction was wonderfully done as was the characterization the actors were definitely believable the plot was very deep and intriguing even though parts of it are a bit slow and sometimes a bit boring it's definitely worth watching several times the chemistry between the three main actors was great if you don't want to watch it for that then at least watch it for the drama between the characters i mean the whole thing was just it was like i couldn't look away the whole movie grabbed my attention and kept my interest even through the slow parts i loved this movie and almost everything about it i loved the ending because it was so interesting and if you watch the movie a second time makes perfect sense but i'm not spoiling anything,positive

s easier to watch this film if one views it as a scenario created by star fleet lieutenant during his addiction is a recurring star trek character played by dwight br br dwight is miscast as character is poorly written so we never see the depth and of his knowledge instead we see a shallow two dimensional figure from a soap opera paul newman is also miscast as general leslie but this movie's problems go beyond having the wrong actors in the wrong roles br br the factual errors and great liberties taken with the of events in order to advance screenwriter bruce political agenda make this movie embarrassing to watch that's probably why this movie has found a home on the so called history channel br br fat man and little boy combine bad science bad history bad and mediocre acting to produce a movie that should not be viewed by high school or college students who know nothing about the manhattan project,negative
largely forgettable monster film from the 50s features truly awful special effects the claw in question is a giant puppet that would make jim want to kill himself i just saw the movie last and i can't even tell you who was in it that's a bad sign i'm told that when the movie premiered audiences laughed it off the screen and that was in the 50s when standards in special effects were much lower basically i should have walked out of the theater as soon as the words produced by sam came on the screen if i knew what was good for me but then i sat through also so i guess i deserve it,negative

with actors like depardieu and richard it is really a hard task to make a dull movie but is a master in setting a slow pace and making supposedly funny scenes without any wits and depth this movie is high on story but low on character you never get to know any of the characters except for superficial slapstick unfortunately has no idea what slapstick is all about his style could be described at hit and miss of course some people laugh when they see someone slip on a banana directs his humor at this lot it is a shame how bad he uses good talent many good french comedians have been wasted away by mediocre directors,negative
sometimes when a film is by the critics one just has to see it to see if it is really as bad as the claim well in this case it was i believe it was meant to be a sex comedy but it was neither sexy nor funny i think i once when johnny vegas failed to vault a fence and that was it br br the film follows the lives of four men who deliver for a living each of them has a problem with their sex lives dave has left his wife and seeks out an old flame who once invited him for a a few years before is living with his mother in law who treats him as a sex object has an obsession for involving jam in his encounters and jeremy claims to be in a loving relationship but is in fact stalking some poor woman br br the tone of the jokes from tasteless to i don't believe that anybody could write that an example of the the latter being when they tell a small child his father has died in a car crash then for the punch line when the boy asks how his mum is they tell him she is in a coma the blame for this all lands at the feet of the writers the actors obviously made a poor choice to be in this film but i didn't think their acting was all that bad not that it was all that good either surprisingly for a fairly sleazy film about sex there is no nudity and the sex is never erotic br br i certainly wouldn't recommend seeing this for any reason other than morbid curiosity although judging from other reviews this seems to be a love it or it film i suspect it would be better watched after a few beers and with your mates,negative

imaginary heroes is a 2004 film starring weaver jeff daniels michelle williams and br br the story concerns a dysfunctional family that becomes even more dysfunctional when the oldest child commits suicide br br ordinary people has been mentioned often in relation to this film it's sort of ordinary people with a role the mother in this case sandy travis weaver is more accessible than the father ben daniels who is clearly and unable to cope like ordinary people the younger son tim is the focus of the film br br for me the film was absorbing enough to keep watching but has a curious about it there were some wonderful interactions mother and son mother and neighbor brother and sister williams and some good offbeat moments what never was ben being any part of that family or having any chemistry with sandy this seems to have been the goal of director writer dan harris in one scene in a store the kid assumes sandy is about 30 and gives her his phone number in almost the next scene daniels asks sandy if she wants plastic surgery for her birthday weaver was when this film was made actually probably and looks phenomenal so what is ben looking at however there's something about ben's complete because the viewer doesn't really see how daniels ever was attached to that family br br the end has a couple of twists and also some very touching scenes everyone is very good with weaver and being the br br there's not a tremendous amount of dialogue in this movie and lots of stares the script could have been but imaginary heroes is a good effort,positive

i am partly a fan of miyazaki's work i say partly because most of his films fall into two categories brilliant and boring sadly this film falls into the later category br br this film suffers from the same fundamental problems as miyazaki's recent film moving castle an intriguing premise is set up but then immediately reduced to little more than a backdrop for some events that only serve to confuse the plot rather than explain it br br the first third of the film reveals the post apocalyptic world the story is set in and actually looks like an very interesting story is about to unfold from then on things go down hill the middle part of the film is mostly made up of propaganda and the ending is heavily marred by the on the kind of which ruins a large number of japanese animated films br br overall the film feels as though someone ripped out every other page from the script before passing it on the the animators what is left is something which is visually stunning although sadly the version i saw was an generation copy with poor colour which gives rise to the common myth that shows her bare bottom when flying but which makes little sense and ultimately left me confused,negative

the beginning was decent the ending was alright br br sadly this movie suffers from complete and utter of the characters unrealistic fight scenes lack of anyone intelligent outside of the this makes for an awful middle screenplay br br stuff to look for overly obvious fast healing cuts overly fires fun reactions br br i did give it a 4 not a 0 because the start of the movie had some nice elements of happiness and basic character development the relationship between the main dark haired girl and her fiancée is touched upon briefly and the placement of the blond friend's impact on that relationship is present though so the business discovered at the end is becoming more mainstream and done though as another pointed out not unexpected br br,negative
my boyfriend and i decided to go see this movie after we heard on the radio that it was a good movie worth seeing even up there with cars within the first ten minutes of the movie i was horrified for starters the which should be females had male voices then i realized they really are supposed to be guys i put the aside for a bit and tried to keep watching the movie with an open mind but it was just so corny i couldn't help but shake my head i probably checked my phone about ten times to see if it was almost over the plot was decent if not predictable but it took way to long to reach its point i was having trouble sitting through it and i'm 19 the children in the theater were actually getting up and running up and down the i felt like joining them but my biggest problem with the movie was that it was loaded with drinking references not to mention that the actually hot and stole a car then and drive broke into a boy's house to push him out of bed he deserved it though then ran away from the cops whom the writers of the movie made look like terrible people this isn't the kind of thing i would want my kid to be exposed to there's way too much of that in the real world if i wanted my child to watch guys drink and drive and lead cops on a chase i'd pop them in front of the 10 news children's movies are supposed to be an escape from reality not an escape into what happened to the good morals and happy endings that children's movies used to that's why disney's old movies like beauty and the beast lady and the tramp the little mermaid etc are classics if you want your kids to see a great cartoon with basically the same plot as rent the lion king you can get a great story without the awful drinking and driving and grand auto references the writers of were obviously trying to continue the great trend of making a children's movie that a parent could enjoy as well but they did so in very bad taste i would never take my kids to see this and i suggest you save your money and watch something else,negative
as social satire is just as good as office space but with a wider scope to criticize this film as too due to humor is to kind of miss the point i think there are certainly fart jokes etc but they're not really intended to be funny to the audience they exist to define the state of culture in the world of ad visited by joe as a background to the bizarre state of affairs in which he the real humor of the film lies in the many sight gags and attitudes present in this future society that are just a off of what we encounter in our daily lives and which should serve as a warning my personal favorite is the depiction of fox news the subtle brilliance in the film lies in the fact that it also at smart people and average like the protagonists note the times in the film when joe and rita almost to the idiots around them and you realize that is not created to pick on any group of people in particular but on the culture of idiocy in general i don't know what to say about the made for conspiracy theory behavior of fox in releasing this film but if it's not playing in your local theater demand it we all need to see this film if not for the social commentary at least for the fart jokes,positive
i have a question for the writers and producers of nation what is the root cause and what is the solution to the problem of personal depression in america in the moving performance of christina as liz the film portrays a young woman with potential as a student and as a writer but this is not a story of success only one of self destruction as we watch liz bring misery into the lives everyone who comes in contact with her the film divorce family drugs alcohol and as possible reasons for but none of those superficial explanations are satisfactory br br at some point in the film it would have been helpful to suggest that liz needs to take responsibility for her life and her problems no light was shed on what the film alleged to be a runaway problem in the united states of depression in the story liz had a caring anne a caring roommate williams a caring boyfriend jason and a troubled but caring parent jessica lange in a key scene in the film liz is lying in a hospital bed watching the break up of the space instead of with life the film should have used the image as a starting point for her healing and br br this film reminded me of a generic made for cable victim film on the lifetime network an excellent cast was wasted especially in the earnest performance of christina the real life elizabeth obviously found within herself the resources to cope with her depression and become a successful author it is unfortunate that the film could not offer us even the slightest glimpse into her courageous spirit,negative
i have just seen this delightful classic again after many years the next to last film directed by henry who died three years later at the age of only 45 the same age at which the film's male star larry harvey was also to die in 1973 three future directors were in the crew jack associate producer guy green cinematographer and clive editor this film is based upon the story to by the well known british author christopher which was first turned into a play by john van then made into this film then turned into a musical and finally filmed as which brought the amazing to world attention with her voice which can a glass at the distance of a mile appears as a character in the film under his own name he was gay but in those days that was illegal and could land him in prison so he his under the description of being what he calls 'a confirmed this is the key to his relationship with the wildly eccentric wacky ever cheerful and thoroughly unique character whom he calls sally the portrait of sally in this film is a tour de force by the young julie harris who every scene into a magical and captivating web of personal charm what a vehicle for an actress with plenty of charm of her own it is one of the great cinematic performances of the 1950s is played to perfection by the young lawrence harvey in a finely judged performance which never allows the comedy to go over the edge and even the moments of farce on slapstick remain somehow larry is so funny at portraying a what an irony considering the total lack of shown by his bravery and in the last year of his life as he died from stomach cancer and with such dignity and lack of complaint i knew him well in the last three years or so and he was a generous warm and modest person he his little girl domino now alas also dead this film was his finest early performance to be followed by his spectacular work in at the 1959 and and 'the larry was often in his lifetime because he was too handsome was often cast as a and boys are not always accepted as good actors but many of the finest actresses played opposite him and they were in no doubt of his abilities and he was a strong lead in many of the most important films of his time if he had lived beyond middle age he would have gone from strength to strength and become a old man' of the screen sitting in his house in one day he gave me a glass of his usual white wine from a huge barrel which he had brought from some foreign i said he always gave me such delicious wine what was it he proudly answered that it was a which he had chosen himself at the in france and had over specially he then added with extreme know i've been waiting for four years for someone to comment on it and ask me what it is and you are the first person who has ever done so ' what to him was to be for having taste in wine and his more glamorous friends had denied him that satisfaction in this film anton gives a touching early performance as an earnest young man later he was to have to play nazi officers far too much poor fellow and the young shelley winters plays a rich german jewish girl in her usual but effective manner but it was not too difficult as she was a jewish girl herself anyway this film has such an air of de about it that it is pure delight,positive
i went to see this thinking it would be a great comedy and a comeback for robin williams but when i saw it i realized i had to by as this is more drama than comedy although it has a few really good laughs in it it felt like i was watching two movies one was a funny romp with robin williams that should have been the whole for the movie anyway but you also get a thriller movie with political angst in the middle i really don't know how to this film but i can tell you it was good and i did laugh not as much as i had hoped but at least williams is back in the right direction see this but know before going it is not all comedy and is a little intense,positive
i just recently viewed shame which is directed by bergman the film was interesting and very unique i liked how it was in swedish with english subtitles and that it was also in black and white these features allowed me to better relate to the characters the time period and their stories i didn't like how the movie was very slow in the beginning and how you didn't know what was really going on at first it was mainly a story of eva and relationship the movie also ended on a very depressing note because nothing good came out of all of the conflicts and changes throughout the movie i probably would not go see shame again but it was a very experience,negative
if it's an art and film there is not enough art not to mention br br if it is a thriller there is not enough thriller br br if it is a teenage drama there is not enough drama and as far as teenagers are concerned there is not enough and too much br br i thought it could be a trailer for tony movie but there is no tony so i guess been cheated it's not tony biopic br br if it's an action movie it lacks explosions which would have added some interest to it or at least would have make jump the sleeping ones into their br br most of the characters seem to be dead inside but it's not a zombie movie in fact if it is a movie there is not enough plot if it is not a movie it lasts too long to be a music video br br if it's a music video well it's an album i will not purchase,negative
this movie was so dumb and slow was it ever slow the only good part of the film was the girl in the tight gold pants there was no gore and what is a 80's horror movie without a little gore plus the killer wasn't at all scary nor were the murders but if you like to watch the world's worst horror movie then this is for you don't waste your time like i did watching this,negative
i saw the film yesterday and stopped it at half time because i felt it was a waste of time the idea to make a film through the eyes of a one of the evil guys throughout most fantasy and medieval films is great and offers plenty of possibilities but the film couldn't catch one of them i was not feeling for any of the characters the plot was all too predictable to the point that i followed it and the second leap of time in the storyline made me quit those who expect a deep insight into the emotional situation of a in the middle ages a social to that time might be disappointed,negative
wow this was a real stinker this early sci fi flick has nothing going for it than pure camp there's so much scientific in the dialog it's laughable the female character played by is just a plot device for the male characters to serve sexist remarks during the entire length of the film watch this one with your girlfriend i guarantee it will make her blood the only good thing is the musical score which expertly build the of the film the special effects are rather crude but not bad considering the vintage of the movie with some good b stars in the lead roles the acting isn't too bad but the lines they are given must have given them quite a challenge the challenge of not laughing their heads off,negative
danny glover and carey obviously forgot how to act when they made this movie the acting is absolutely atrocious the pay off is even worse i feel sorry for danny glover i hope he got paid well for this because it makes him look completely foolish the same goes for mr an absolute slap in the face to any horror movie fan despicable this is probably the worst display of acting by veteran actors i have ever seen i wonder if they bothered to look at the script or if they did it must have said forget everything you know about acting because this makes the two of them look ridiculous for two seasoned veterans to act this way is appalling i hope the pay check was very large i thought at first it was a spoof if you can find satisfaction in this movie then more power to you,negative
starting where the last left off an alien emerges from a dead predator on a predator spaceship and causes the predator space ship to crash into modern day where it several more aliens which start to cause havoc the predator race sends down a lone highly experienced and armed predator to clean up the mess our human characters are caught in the middle of the battle br br the biggest problem with this movie is the pacing this movie moves along way too fast the opening credits have only just rolled and already the predator ship crashes into the earth after the alien grows to full a hunter and son character are introduced but before we even get to learn their names they are both killed then we see the predator home world and the lead predator flies off to fight the alien and all this happens within the first five minutes this unnatural pace does not let up for the entire movie the national guard comes into town but within two minutes are all killed without even getting a good look at a single ones face the manager of a pizza store gets one scene of character development only to be killed off the very next time we see him once again without even learning his name random a coffee shop waitress and chef are killed again without learning their names one moment our main characters are at home the next running around town the next in a gun store the next in an and this random set jumping over and over just doesn't ever let up leaving the audience no time to settle in leaving them for br br another problem is the settings and time frame the movie is set in modern day every other alien and predator movie was shot in enthralling settings such as industrial space ships war zone alien planets and underground now comes along r set in a small modern day american town with set highlights including a sporting goods store parking lots pizza and little girl's i mean were they actually trying to make the movie look as dull drab and uninteresting as possible it's hard to perceive these monsters as frightening creatures when they are standing next to a shelf full of or hiding in the outside little girls br br continuity is a big issue with this film the alien series was set in the future no human had even heard of an alien before the first film and the aliens not only had never been to earth but if they ever did reach earth humanity would be destroyed this movie ruins that entire concept by being set in modern day with average seeing the aliens all over the place and by the end of the movie humanity is not destroyed not even suffering what could be considered minor it all over that entire concept of the other movies attempts to maintain continuity are made with massive ex the predator just happens to carry around a bottle of magic blue that's just to melt away any bodies with just a single drop the army at the end of the movie just happens to go to overly and drop a nuclear that just conveniently all evidence of the aliens existence despite the fact there were many survivors of the incident who are witnesses and many more bad attempts are made at filling up impossible to cover plot holes br br also for a movie it has bias in favor of the for the majority of the film a lone predator manages to kill dozens if not of dozens of aliens all at range while barely gaining a single scratch while the aliens just get slaughtered left right and center like clay merely waiting their turn to be killed by the predator without putting forth any effort to defend their this movie should not be called alien vs predator as much as it should be predator aliens i mean how can you have two species battle it out with suspense and tension when one is portrayed as being vastly superior to the other br br the characters in this film are amongst the biggest flaws not only do they pale in comparison to the characters from the previous alien and predator movies but even as a stand alone movie they are bland dreary and even at times cringe worthy the characters in this movie consist of i kid you not horny couples wanting to get laid pizza delivery boys blonde high school bullies children and a blatant copy and job ripping off and the worst and most cliché possible ideas for characters not only that but all of the aforementioned characters are acted by teenagers while the casting of teenagers is an obvious attempt to pull in younger audiences its only effect is to make the movie look and feel like a typical slasher porn movie with actors who are too young to have learned how to give a convincing performance with them mostly having completely blank facial expressions delivering dialog not only this but these characters do some of the most retarded things ever such as using predator guns commenting the powers out when it has been for hours following dumb plans to get out of town rather than just walking out of town somewhat quickly and just so many other that the movie actually had the audience in my theater out of frustration br br in the end this movie is just a horrible b movie something deserving of the direct to dvd category the fact this movie was a theatrical release me as every part of the movie just ranks of amateur work,negative
even though some unrealistic things happen at the end i e a cop shooting a gun into a crowded merry go round where any number of innocent could be killed this still was an intense enjoyable thriller one of alfred hitchcock's better films robert walker is excellent as the chilling really convincing giving a fascinating performance that is almost too creepy at times his co star in here granger is okay but is no match for walker either in acting or in the characters they play it's the typical hitchcock film with some strange camera angles themes innocent man gets in trouble etc unlike a lot of his other films i thought this one was a fast moving story with a very few dull spots being an ex player i enjoyed his footage of some excellent old net matches that featured some good hitchcock's real life daughter patricia has an interesting and unique minor character role in here she didn't just get the job because of her dad she can act also of note the dvd has both the british and american versions and there were some differences in the story this is a classic film that is still referred to in modern day films even comedies such as throw off the train,positive
miscast badly directed and written this is watchable if you have an hour or two to kill or are suffering from insomnia but only just robert fully realises his potential as an actor of supreme mediocrity with only one expression to his that of a football a complex which he manages at times to alter slightly by his and a row of yellow teeth this to indicate anger grief surprise horror hilarity compassion etc in his role as the best marine engineer in the uk and son of a university professor he is about as convincing as my cat tom equally miscast and every line appears to the and would seem no more able to tell a from a of his own if he were standing in it all in all another silly attempt on the part of the british to imitate hollywood pulp at its most the dialogue is a series of badly delivered clichés the action is disjointed the plot is pointless and and the characters if you can call them that do not even make it into the basic two dimensional of their american counterparts,negative
even with all the cinema dealing with the trauma of the vietnam war ladder the deer hunter apocalypse now and taxi driver to an extent one feels that we don't even know the half of what happened even the horror feels and a progression or to the that it is a key part of apocalypse now greatest and one of the most important films ever made loosely based on joseph classic heart of darkness which chronicles the loss of sanity and corruption of morality that comes with distance from civilization a of a nature as it were a la lord of the flies it brings the story of a physical and psychological journey to vietnam the story is of a general on a special mission to cambodia after his first tour of duty in vietnam is served at the beginning of the film is stuck in psychologically unable to go back home in the deer hunter so he is his mission is to a green who has isolated himself in a remote on the river and who has gone completely insane like a god by the natives and killing this man's name is colonel played by marlon brando in the second best role of his career the best being stanley in a named desire as in an army boat with some soldiers accompanying his witnessing the horrors and the insanity and the overwhelming of it all leads to an eerie sympathy and with before they even meet by the time they do methods don't really seem as wrong or as they should and they certainly don't seem too unusual or out of place apocalypse a place beyond morality the on the end of the world the loss of civilization the loss of judgement of self monologue about an atrocity he witnessed as a green and his later revelation is one of the most chilling and well delivered speeches in cinema history the film is about trauma about the human spirit and its breaking point here it's a lot like the deer hunter and just as good apocalypse however takes the boundaries of what we can endure to a global level sweeping footage of the murky of cambodia and an opening sequence of amid exploding and an orange sky set to an oddly fitting doors soundtrack as well as chilling scenes on the river and of an air raid on a village with wagner from a scene which has gone down as one of the most chilling darkly humorous and strikingly pointless war scenes ever this all contributes to the sense of apocalypse the end of the world and not at some distant point in the future but apocalypse now and forever the deer hunter is much more up close and personal you can even tell by the title and shows the effect trauma has on the individual psyche the breaking down of the human soul and its ability to either surrender completely to forces of darkness or to limp on this is why both films are equal they are two parts of the same thing in heart of darkness is shown as conflicted between morality civilization and his inner savage in apocalypse now has left all conflict behind he is beyond good and evil he has let go of morality like a drowning man lets go of a saving hand in the moments before his death indeed is only waiting for death t s in his temple to himself lost in the jungle his last words and the words at the end of the movie are the horror the horror he is referring to the void of existence of the human psyche and to the pitch black within his own mind where atrocities are born again it is impossible to express in words the experience one goes through watching this film the experience in short that experiences on his journey the end part at the almost in fact comparable to its brother scene in the deer hunter is one of the most deeply and disturbing things i've ever seen,positive
d o a is an involving and entertaining little picture from start to finish dennis quaid is at his best and quaid is sadly one of the most underused talents in hollywood his then beau meg ryan also appears with him but as is usually the case doesn't really make much of an impact br br the film is directed throughout drawing on a number of influences to capture its feel would you credit that it's actually directed by two people the answer is no the whole thing is superbly slick from its innovative to its use of black and white photography all these elements help to keep proceedings fresh br br really the greatest thrill here is to be had with the dialogue it's snappy yet intricate doesn't waste a word and yet still manages to be entertaining the screenplay for this is like a pocket work of art br br this went by me for ages before i finally caught it late at night if this is the first you've heard about it don't leave it like i did catch it soon it really is top notch br br if you're in the mood for a solid genre flick that manages to surprise at every turn this really fits the bill br br,positive
it ends with the that the film you have just seen was an at once making you feel like an idiot for thinking an was an good movie and at genius once again of course cassavetes told some guy it wasn't really an per se on his so it's the story about a light skinned black woman who passes for white and her family another passing for white brother named ben and a black black brother named when she falls in love with a white jerk named tony he is surprised when he finds out she's black and from there it goes on about the three main characters' individual aspirations and shortcomings is a jazz singer in the process of becoming a failure still hopelessly depressed over tony and ben is and violent in general in desperate need of something to shock him out of his stale of existence overall i suppose it's really about vs change in human life i suspect that cassavetes had the plot organized enough and it was just the dialogue that was improvised the dialogue itself is very uneven sometimes somebody will say something very memorable other times it's awkward what's amazing is the extent of the amateur actors' of their characters cassavetes went through the acting class he was teaching at the time he decided to do shadows in the ears of the ten best students and this was the result the guys playing ben and are very good at first i didn't like but as the film progressed you see more and more she's one of those actors who gets better as the tension and drama builds not necessarily the best with small talk shadows is by many as the of the indie film movement made in 1959 and it's definitely recommended,positive
black is roger batman which is cool and there is a lot of cool stuff in this movie like the being a cross between doctor doom and darth vader that's kind of cool the mind control gas in the was worthy of the mad the b movie style is all over this puppy which is not always a good thing there are plenty of stunts and hot babes to make any action fan happy this movie the good out the bad but if you aren't one for comic book movies then i would advise not watching black however if you like comic book like movies and don't care if it was ever a comic before then check out black as for me i give it 8 stars,positive
this one is a hilarious diamond in the rough the acting and plot aren't that impressive but the lines just keep on coming this catches a lot of because it seems at first glance like well a bad movie but it's so that you can't help but be amused the quick dialog and quirky characters keep it going i was especially fond of sharon the on eh however the one that really stole the show was little brother andrew ira his high pitched whining was somehow endearing the whole movie,positive
for three quarters of an hour the story gradually develops towards a pivotal point of some sort although it is with scenes that just seem to be intended to dull the viewer and lure him away from the actual plot there is something happening it is not much and it certainly is not obvious the combination of palace impressions and story driving scenes do not add any depth or insight to the whole cast of characters in fact they keep them as there is no character development at all everybody just remains spinning and centered around their own cliché and role the cute kinda girl the fighting the aristocrat the male lead does not seem to have any distinction at all he is a shallow presence which actually doesn't even matter as he is only there because the required him to it seemed like he was on vacation and got caught up when the point comes of turning the corner in terms of what happening the movie first completely blank for a couple of minutes and then becomes ridiculous it or better itself with a by the book ex more clichés and some of the most crude plot devices and choices i have ever seen it's history alright first the movie's a drama though it's supposed to be comedic and then it turns into a farce the protagonists do what they are expected to do and there are no surprises the first set of somewhat serious however gets replaced by a couple that literally was just bored maybe that was some kind of nod towards the audience br br this movie does not get any bonus from me for underlying philosophical meaning since there is none nor for its technical realization the animation and editing is fair and the sound mixing but it is by no means outstanding or even above the average japanese productions of the late 1980's in fact the visual treats seem static un inspired and un original br br worst of all it totally fails to entertain even if you don't bother with characters and all that stuff there's too little going on here and the rest is corny at best get a real instead have a feast with it and keep your fingers off this one,negative
being a huge fan of the bottom series i was really looking forward to the release of this film i was eagerly a laugh a minute roller coaster ride alas br br where to start on this mess i think its a good start to say that its hardly and eddie on our screens in the first place as none of the jokes and one liners they usually deliver so well are funny i was still waiting for the first laugh after a good 20 minutes of viewing many aspects of the story were pathetic and it was as if the film was full of those bad moments they and decided to leave out of the final cut br br the overall sets and atmosphere surrounding the film is dark and which i suppose is good if they want to portray the guest house the 2 attempt to run but to me its just puts an even higher on a sorry state of filming that should never have been created br br the acting at times is pathetic is wasted as the loony mrs and i've seen simon pegg have much better br br i'd recommend guest house to anybody who is blind drunk because they might appreciate the terrible much more but to any bottom fan who hasn't seen this film and is expecting true and eddie action you have been warned,negative
if you have few expectations then this will entertain for 90 minutes my problem is that they've down this tale for the modern audience are already sexy exciting characters they don t need the soundtrack and snappy dialogue,negative
ok film like last few films once again goes beyond the knock 'em down kick 'em in the shoot 'em in the face get revenge against the bad guys for hurting my sister's cousin stuff seagal was into for a while steven started thinking and using his bucks to make movies with actual ideas in them sure there is plenty of action in this flick but also some thought and heart it's not an oscar flick but well worth the effort unless the viewer is so into brain dead violence that it hurts to have to think for longer than a second it's worth a rental or two,positive
this film starts out with all the moody promise of a great contemporary noir western after the ill conceived opening flashback sequence anyway the scenery is beautifully desolate the characters isolated while some of the acting is less than believable the plot ultimately delivers enough tension and twists to make this movie worth a look,positive
set in 1945 follows a failed swedish book editor who decides to take a non stop train to berlin unfortunately for everyone around him he's a walking disaster causing mayhem everywhere he goes the train also holds a man and his mistress scheming to murder the man's wife who's also on the train a soldier on his way home two gay elderly gentlemen an angry train conductor two nuns a bunch of and even more people br br meant as a mix of noir ish thriller which it does quite well at least to begin with and comedy the film fails with both it doesn't sit right as the film changes tone with every new scene and as the train races towards its final destination the film turns more and more bizarre ending on a truly surreal note br br the good bits are wasted in a of pointless plots and characters is packed with famous swedish actors no matter how small the part is it feels like the filmmakers everyone they've ever worked with and offered them a part in the film too bad that the performances are just as bad as the script act your lines don't read them br br the comedy is more or less slapstick with the same jokes repeated over and over the pace is incredibly slow at times quite often actually with on scene in particular dragging on for about ten minutes for no good reason the screenwriter also seems to think that swearing is a good way to replace decent dialogue the film looks great though in moody b w but it's wasted on such inept film making in every other department 1 10,negative
i like all of the main actors involved in this quite bizarre film guy hugo have all proved themselves as some of the best most capable actors around but i could not get into this i don't know if it's because i don't understand the lifestyle or what but i could not get my head around this film worse than anything is that the actors made some of the drag queens i've ever seen i think that was part of the point i don't know i realize that is probably an insult but i don't know what else to call them i must say i bought the guys as the performers the correct term but the story just wasn't very good or very interesting either i will say that i can't usually appreciate costume very well although i notice them when they are wrong or out of place but i was very much impressed with these very creative to say the least just not attractive but i don't think they're supposed to be i don't know i am definitely not the target audience and would never go see a performance done by these kind of performers but i wouldn't go see ballet or opera either so i don't know if this is your kind of film then you will probably like it but if it's not skip it because it is well not for most of us i just checked it won the oscar for costume design i will say rightfully so i must say ebert didn't care much for this film either though he liked it better than i did,negative
the russian space station with a crew of four russians and two americans is threatening to re enter the atmosphere in a matter of days russia asks for help in the stranded crew and the space atlantis the also have an interest in the a prototype power source being tested aboard and for one of their men to be placed on the mission br br that's the plot onto less important things the space station and the are the same blatantly obvious models used in and and a handful of other films i suspect the model effects are so obvious throughout the entire movie and make the film look very 1960s the sets are a little better but are far too '80s for what is supposedly a brand new station built by an american company which later comes in as part of a conspiracy to destroy and the and claim the insurance the script has a few good moments including farewell and the little at the end but is otherwise fairly bland and sub standard the acting is okay the only real standout performance comes from alex who offers up some of the film's better dialogue michael is surprisingly one of the best parts about this film ice t is ice t said the film offers a few surprises though that i don't wish to spoil br br certainly one of the better low grade contemporary set sci fi films of the last six years but not the best the film is watchable but the special effects and plot will probably put a lot of viewers off rent the other sci fi film instead,negative
it looks b grade and you will probably think there is no reason to rent this film but do i expected nothing from this movie just something to pass the time but i was hooked from the start two interesting premises a bank robbery gone wrong a million dollars missing and two girls on the road to start a new life how will these two stories just when you think you know what direction the movie is headed it does a and you are left blown away by the great twists in the plot it has a great but unexpected ending and you are left wanting more always a good sign rent it or even buy it you will not be disappointed,positive
this movie there is not much more to it the final fight looked like walker taking on my grandmother not some supernatural demon with the strength of ten men i found the commercials more interesting the plot twists and jokes could be seen coming a mile away the only redeeming quality of this film was that it ended avoid this at all costs unless you enjoy bad chuck norris movies,negative
is directed with barely a shred of sentimentality and yet i more than imagine hector owes some of his film making chops with this film to de neo style in particular that film as with takes place mostly inside a children's prison and yet while i might still prefer de film if it came down to deciding between the two it's so close because it is no pun intended like choosing between two children they're both marvelous works of raw drama and with has an extra edge and harrowing quality to deal with in that this isn't filmed in conditions brought on after a world war this is how it was in brazil one would see it with slightly more flair and awe in city of god perhaps in some of the same locations and these children were on the streets before and after the film was made some aren't alive some 20 years later for all anyone knows br br the star pre teen street kid da plays the title character a youth without a father or really any family who will look out for him and placed among dozens of other street kids and in a for boys the conditions couldn't be much worse and are made even more unbearable as two children are killed one after the other by some cause of the guard duty there's a riot and an escape and halfway through the film we find with a few other including a practical not even 18 and they become drug dealers whatever to get by none of this i should repeat is shown with a kind of ham certainly you would never in a million years see ron howard or paul direct this kind of picture and yet there's an emotional honesty to everything exactly because nothing is br br nearly every scene is significant to showing how fragile life is for and how he could be killed or die some way at any turn and so without even reaching yet he has to be on the level of those around him who are a little older though not by much at all and become things that will haunt this person forever despite usage of a tender and musical score and one or two scenes with people crying a lot nothing feels forced as with de maybe more so given the consistent conditions of san and street kids he's a natural director of children and out of da and and others some really fine work that provides just the right touches of cinematic drama that is not so real that it becomes documentary which isn't a bad thing per say and even subtlety in some scenes br br may not be as well known as it's later 21st century brazilian films that look back on the horrors of or even neo films but it should be anyone wanting to get a good hard glimpse at what it was like should seek it out at a library or other and in what is the best foreign film of 1981,positive
ok most of us agree that this is a weak attempt at a remake but at the same time it's also a different movie in its own right don't get me wrong werewolf in is a superior film but remake in is a decent movie as well br br first off the only real similarities are the title 2 american and werewolves other than those 3 things remake in stands apart fairly well on its own with its special blend of humor action adventure and horror most of the people who say this film is better than the original are the youth of today's generation that think any movie made before 1990 is total crap while those of us who grew up in the 80's can appreciate older films and what they have added to the horror films of today what a lot of people fail to realize is that without the old classic films including the b w ones horror wouldn't be what it is today now i'm getting a little off the beaten path br br an american werewolf in paris is a good attempt at re creating a classic but it will never the original ever with that said this is still a very entertaining film to watch and i do recommend it i'm giving it a 7 out of 10 maybe that's being a little generous but i've seen much worse attempts at trying to re create a classic,positive
when one of my friends recommended this to me raving about how well it was filmed the underlying themes and the general greatness of the film i obviously expected an amazing at least entertaining film br br the two hours i spent watching this turned out to be a huge disappointing waste of my time br br i understand that this movie is meant to be surreal but even in surreal movies there is something which anchors it down even if it is only in the slightest this movie on the other hand felt forced and fake a lot of the shots were unnecessary and watching it made me think the director was trying to hard to be artistic br br the acting was poor and the relationships between characters were not nearly developed enough maybe that's just me missing something that others could see but i hadn't even realised there was any sort of attraction between and before they started getting at it like randomly half way through the film then again maybe this film was just bad br br i am not against violence in movies but in this one almost all of it was just unnecessary throughout all the fight scenes i felt myself cringing at how painfully cliché it all was br br and the plot the word laughable comes to mind i would be amused if i hadn't wasted two hours of my life following this poorly thought out and ridiculous plot despite all the movie's flaws by the end of it i was expecting something interesting to conclude it i won't discuss the ending because i wouldn't want to spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it just that the metaphor be it a rock or a grain of sand in water they sink as the same cannot be used as an explanation for everything br br this entire movie was made for shock value and shock value only i just hope sooner or later people will stop being so pretentious and a bad movie for what it is i've seen many other great korean films and it me that people have as the best,negative
so it's not an award winner so what have you ever wanted to see a film that was just silly the villain and this one could top the list my husband says that and hyde together again is one of those movies that if you've been there and done that you'll think this spoof on the 80's cocaine culture is a riot i think the whole film is just fun nothing is sacred plastic surgery howard hughes there are ongoing gags that you have to watch for to appreciate to say that the film doesn't follow the book would be true but then a lot of really good films take liberties with the published word also i recommend this movie to all the old among us we may be smarter now but we will still recognize and laugh at many folks we knew ourselves back in the old days,positive

if you're a long time fan of the doctor and you when you heard they were making another series rest easy it more than meets the high expectations of the original the pacing is much than the original shows fitting more often into 50 minutes episodes rather than the average 90 minutes the writing is excellent the acting superb the hardest and best thing to get used to is the production values of the new series compared to the original it's got some now although i will always have fond memories of bubble wrap and hand puppet monsters if you're not a fan or if you tried the original and couldn't get a handle on it jump in with both feet now everything you really need to know about the doctor they'll tell you as they go along this series was written with minimal references to the doctor's enormous back story specifically to encourage new viewers admittedly i'm only seeing the first new series now as it's being shown on the sci fi channel in other words probably cut to for time constraints but i'm looking forward to future episodes either on broadcast tv or on dvd july 4th can't come soon enough,positive
first of all i have nothing against christianity i believe every person has the right to believe what he or she chooses but i cannot imagine how dumb a person has to be to believe this what a waste of money they'd better use it to feed some starving families in the third world countries i don't want to talk about talk acting or plot of this movie because i couldn't find any of those in this story's simple two one a is the other b for some sake has abandoned religion b his confidence in religion and teaches a a lesson believe in christ or go to hell this message appears after like ten minutes and keeps repeating to the end of the movie people do not believe the rating of this movie read reviews first i didn't and wasted an hour of my life ps why is it classified as sci fi because of those few weird sounds and a bit of bright light from the sky u f o evil that's a new one,negative
i give this nonsense a 2 instead of a 1 because there is a worse show called haunted homes but this kid and his buddies conduct their like total idiots they assume that there are ghosts from the get go and if they ever find rational explanations behind the experiences they have to be drug kicking and screaming into it but beyond that the show's whole format is incredibly annoying even though a lot of it seems scripted the college educated kids who make up the the cast can barely speak english but still insist on trying to use big words they obviously don't understand and head investigator ridiculously self important make me just want to throw the tv through the window and he looks stoned all the time in short this group make the guys from on ghost hunters look like scientists,negative
in post civil war america the president van johnson travels to dallas and is by corrupt officials and businessman interested in the vice president whom they can blackmail due to documents a convinced that his black friend is wrongly accused of the assassination aims to the truth directed this fascinating if flawed film which obviously is an allegory for the kennedy assassination the film may wrongly present blacks as slaves working on in texas but the film is nonetheless enjoyable and presents an interesting interpretation that death was the result of a coup de which many americans could not accept at the time murder is here as the black accused of the assassination is murdered by the men responsible on route to worth prison this moment in the film is more melodramatic than death with his various shot down before his over the top death scene nonetheless this is definitely one of the more interesting and worthwhile spaghetti westerns worth a look,positive
this is said to be the first polish western and is written and directed by known in the u s as dead man's bounty this film uses some strange visuals to tell a story that is short on dialog val kilmer plays a corpse and some scenes are through his dead eyes some awkward visual situations are actually comical in a sick way my favorite is a young man building a chops off one of his own fingers and actually hangs himself testing the strength of the rope a cowboy known only as 'the finds a dead man kilmer that he thinks is a wanted man he takes him to the nearest town to collect the bounty he ends up losing the corpse and the potential bounty in a gambling game with the town's drunken sheriff linda and has the few turned against him when he has a with the he manages to escape sure death and leads the small on a dangerous one scene has the stranger to a wound by with and a match the corpse to a post as the sheriff finds out that there is no bounty to be had this movie also known as summer love has a haunting theme song sung by john nevertheless this western is like watching a train wreck there is just something that tells you not to look but you do,negative
this movie was poorly conceived poorly written and poorly acted all of the characters were two dimensional it was a real amateur attempt the movie was christian propaganda the christian characters are than and they are without a shred of compassion for the or the characters the movie was a real for both the character and myself as a viewer putting us in a very uncomfortable situation i complained to the theater management and was given a free pass to another movie i remember another movie on a similar subject the rapture starring rogers that was much better and done i think i'll watch the rapture again if you attend and don't like it don't say i haven't warned you,negative

simply the best and most realistic movie about world war ii i've ever seen not only because the german soldiers talk german and russian soldiers talk russian no english in a german or russian also because of the realistic in which the movie was shot the acting is outstanding no hollywood sentiment at all even no love story was supposed to be one of the most horrific battles during the war and in such context there's no place for sentiment or romantic scenes what you get is a movie which will make you thrill to the bone and which have one of the best unhappy endings a movie could have,positive
george scott gave the performance of a lifetime in the hospital a very dark drama about an aging big city hospital and a middle aged on the verge of suicide along comes diana as a free spirit determined to save him from himself their dialog and it is clear they are made for each other from the outset but will she save him their one sex scene is both graphic and memorable for its passion and fury meanwhile the hospital is under siege by a group of who don't want it to turn a condemned building into a cancer center and a serial killer is loose in the hospital in doctors and a good part of the movie though is focused on scott as it should be what a difference a few years made back when this movie was made had given us the a hokey old fashioned of dr with terrible acting and a cardboard script along came 1971 and the hospital less than 10 years later hollywood did something right for a change watching the hospital today is a reminder of how much medical shows like st elsewhere and owe to this enduring classic and if the hospital reminds you of network it should same,positive
growing up in the late 60s and 70s i could not help but become a fan of science fiction with america's space program in top gear sci fi books movies tv shows and comic books my imagination and opened my mind to the possibilities that exist in the universe is so unlike any other sci fi show yet it has all the ingredients that made shows like star trek battlestar x files and deep space nine personal favorites one of the criticisms of is that the casual viewer can't just jump in and watch one episode and understand what is going on there have been other very successful shows that used multiple episode story and complicated characters this for me is one of the charms of the show i don't need or want to have the story all tied up neatly at the end of every episode like the various of star trek have done all in all has wonderful and funny characters and a running storyline that says that although humans may be the least evolved or advanced intelligent species in the universe they still have unique qualities and abilities br br unfortunately the people at the sci fi channel have canceled season they have stated that the was based on ratings yet just a few years ago it was their top rated original series and a critical favorite it's a shame that all of the artists who help create this show will be unable to continue their labor of love because of the problems of the very channel company that made it all possible in the first place br br hey don't take my word for it watch the show watch the re runs and make up your own mind help save,positive

it me that someone would actually consider spending some money on a movie like this really let's forget for a second that the plot doesn't even give a single hint of originality most of the movies today are based on other stories so a simple lack of originality is not that big a deal br br but i can hardly believe that none of the guys involved in the movie had never even got on a plane before shooting this because let's be honest that would be the only excuse to come up with something so ridiculous to be sincere i think a 6 years old child with a fake camera could have come up with something technically much more believable some examples following br br the scene that really drove me crazy is when the turn off when they regain control of the plane when they have to turn them on again the guy on the radio says something like ok push the 1 and 2 buttons on the now those are not buttons they should not be pushed they should actually be pulled up and toward the pilot that's something only plane addicted would know you say wrong the next scene you can see their fingers pushing the buttons and of course the so called buttons don't move at all not even a single and note that i haven't even mentioned the fact that aircraft are not like cars engine that you just turn the key and the magic happens you have to do quite a complicated to turn them on come on guys you could have the movements at least not to mention the hilarious final impact where the plane crashes against every single thing along the light along the what where they thinking and the wings don't even get ripped off it happened to me too once except the plane was made of what about the flight attendant she's actually so skilled that she perfectly knows where the 1 and 2 are in the middle of the behind the should we mention then the guy that can drive an and fly a plane behind the using his computer and how did he turn the other airplane on br br really i could go on hours with this stuff this is the dumbest movie i've ever come across and i'm including garbage like alone in the dark and other stuff in the list want to do yourself a favor don't watch it,negative
when i read the reviews of ho i thought huh it was that confusing to be sure i went to watch the film and what do you know it's a remake of the wedding singer several scenes have been changed to suit the whole essence of but the rest of it is a direct lift from the 1998 hollywood hit bollywood is no stranger to remakes but this is one so poor that it pains me just to watch it i so much watching this and i realized i wasn't the only one doing so one guy actually walked out of the theater and never came back salman khan should seriously stop doing comedy roles he and too much why can't he just take it easy he doesn't do justice to the role originally acted out by adam sandler he doesn't have sense of comic timing is a wonderful actress and one of my favorites but she's no drew barrymore either the scene where she stands in front of a mirror practicing to say her new hi i'm mrs doesn't match up to version hi i'm mrs julia i felt embarrassed watching that scene even though i had loved the original the music is not too bad it's probably the only saving grace of this otherwise horrible film avoid this at all cost,negative
as many of the other comments i have read have noted i fell in love with this movie when i was a kid my sister and i had a copy of the movie on before vhs that we wore out of course it didn't help when our parents sold the at a garage sale since then we have been trying to find a copy i like another did eventually locate a rental copy at a local video store the owner would not part with the copy after any number of attempts to beg and cry my way to the tape good news i bought a brand new newly released vhs copy of midnight madness for 9 99 on amazon com two days ago finally disney has up now if they'll only song of the south if you love the movie grab it if you haven't seen the movie it's worth a check totally stupid humor but a lot of fun stephen is hilarious,positive
this is an interesting movie i think it's very humorous although the humor is very black fulci is good and funny acting himself it's a really funny and truly crazy self portrait of an artist i make horror films if i would make love films no one would buy tickets and it's really sexy movie also almost all the time there is some action or tension going on and many sexy girls women maybe it goes to the core of why anyone starts to do movies art in the first place it's a real psychedelic trip maybe best seen a little drunk or some similar state of mind there is some really nasty gore scenes also of course because it's lucio fulci as a matter of fact some of those scenes are quite disgusting anyway it's one of the three best and most complete fulci films i've seen the others are house by the cemetery zombi haven't seen the beyond actually the script is to my opinion quite ingenious you could see this movie as a portrait of an extreme neurotic or a person who suffers from obsessive disorder words the character has a need to confess crimes or bad thoughts especially crimes he hasn't even done and he questions himself all the time what if i have done it what if i want to do it have i done it do i want to do it he and his thoughts i'm sure fulci has been interested of psychology and maybe even read something of the area in his house by the cemetery movie for example there is a character named this is maybe the most concentrated and personal movie fulci did i also like the simplicity of the photography pictures in this film only thing that me a little bit is the especially towards women i don't quite understand why is it entertainment is it art is it horror anyways and overall this is really interesting and well made movie definitely recommended classic film at least for fans or anyone interested of this genre for the others it may be too much,positive
i haven't seen this fine movie in 50 years but i'm entering a comment on it anyway br br while jack movie was no doubt intended purely as an entertainment showing marine basic training at island in realistic terms as a tough character building exercise it was said the military was afraid the movie would it did not work out that way the movie showed that entering the marines was a greater challenge than most young people ever realized and guess what being offered a king sized challenge was exactly what many guys wanted i personally knew lots of guys that joined the marines shortly after seeing the lines at centers were suddenly so long the marines had more than they could handle br br so it goes america will always have youth seeking to make themselves into the best while the and born losers limp along to nowhere br br what we don't have in 2007 is any films that inspire devotion to duty of any kind positive values et what we do have is films that inspire the ed to be the beer to beer other negative values exhibit 1 is that the teen travesty and beer epic is now in the all time great films list values mean values,positive
jim brown stars and produces a tale set in the just after the japanese invasion the story has the japanese taking several navy men prisoner including some who they use to retrieve the gold that macarthur had dumped into the bay br br it's a messy movie aiming to make a statement about war and racism the film uses war in a not so subtle montage the performances are just adequate at best jim brown is okay but he doesn't really show any sort of range in a performance that just has him standing there looking annoyed the sets are but seem rather cheap the film suffers from the outset due to a great deal of stock footage including many of the best known shots from the japanese attack in the use of such big budget sequence effectively makes the rest of the film look positively it also reminds one that there are better films out there one could be watching for me the film seems to have half a real plot the of the silver and half a plot that is there just to fill time none of it is particularly exciting even with the explosive finale br br given the choice i'd take a pass,negative
first off just let me say that i live in south africa where is our biggest sport by far and our national side the have won the world cup twice so it's quite a big deal over here i've played all my life and i'm shocked at the poor attention to detail in this movie at first i thought it had the potential to be a great movie considering the cast of nick gary cole and sean for goodness sake but it turned out to be a mockery of the sport they basically it together with your normal everyday american football movie br br my first problem is that this movie supposedly captures the values of but the discipline or should i say the total lack thereof during the games are to this in the final it looks more like an game with being of the ball numerous times in front of the that would've immediately led to a couple of red cards because foul play like that would never go in by a of that i can assure you you'd also not be able to find a coach in world who would have so little control over his team any coach would take a dump on a players head if he intentionally stiff arms an player or double teams him like they did in the final red card and certain suspension full stop br br secondly it's absurd that a coach would take a brand new player who has played wing all of his life i gather move him to hooker which is a highly position and say that it's for the good of the team what hooker is a highly position in the front row where you have to be able to extremely well and preferably be able to throw the ball in at line out time which never does for some or other reason by moving a wing to hooker without any extensive long term training it would firstly lead to your demise at time secondly the poor kid would probably break his neck how is that good for the team i ask you finally the overall high emotional pitch of the movie is way too much because even though is a great sport and it builds great friendships team spirit it rarely gets that out of hand corny i've seen true life football with less emotion than this movie it turned out great but in this one acting skills is dragged way too far and the movie attempts too force an emotional response out of the audience which ends up being boring and hard to watch at times br br hollywood have made some great sports movies over the years but next time they venture into a sport which has just recently picked up in the states they should try and do their maybe get some experts into the br br do it right or don't do it at all,negative
the girls is about a mother who had a daughter when she was 16 now the daughter is 16 in season 1 and they live like sisters sharing everything each other completely br br i like the girls but i am not sure why the mother named lauren graham and the daughter named short for played by are both very beautiful women they are both funny and they are charming in their own ways there are some funny supporting characters such as luke scott he and like each may be even love each other but neither of them really acts on it they have their little moments there are some other supporting characters most of them very funny and with their won touching moments br br what i like the most i think is to see the relationship between the young mother and the daughter who is becoming an adult the dialogue between them is quick sharp funny and sometimes touching as well the band they have is beautiful the girls makes you feel good so try it,positive
roll up roll up it's big gay bruce and his big gay death cannon plausible plot unnecessary decent acting unnecessary respect shown to its mighty unnecessary yes it's another stuffed turkey in the butch bruce br br i mean where do you start with this film okay let's begin with the people might have that this was in some way related to either the book or the original film the day of the it's not in fact it's so different and so bad that asked to have his name taken off it now i'm not necessarily a brit who can't hack hollywood british films well okay maybe i am a bit like that but fortunately it's a redundant point in this case this film is so different to the original that the name and the odd reference are the only things that survive br br now let's move to the premise cheesy russian gangster gets killed in a police raid somehow involving the fbi although no one bothers to explain why in revenge brother of gangster decides to vengeance by killing the wife of the us president although again no one bothers to explain why this is a good move – although to be fair it was pre 9 11 so he wasn't to know it would have resulted in the us carpet bombing eastern europe gangster hires nasty killer willis police hire killer gere killer tracks nasty killer police around and get killed killer kills nasty killer first lady is saved and we all realise that the ira are just this bunch of real sweet guys who just happen to want to kill innocent people nice br br let's put to one side the hollywood habit of playing in the troubles of northern ireland like it was a in a theme park i deal with this point more on the message boards if hollywood directors want to cast the as with hearts of gold that's up to them i of course the right to despise them for it it's a free country br br more however is the fact that the film manages to and insult the irish while trying to support them that's not politically it's far worse it's incompetent it's no wonder for instance that gere still looks so damn good given that he slept through the entire six months it took to make this piece of p the fact that accent is not only southern irish but an appalling parody of southern irish shows that the filmmakers weren't looking much beyond america to make money from this film then there is that lovely scene at the end where sidney a complete waste of space in this film says he's off for a coffee offers to get our ira man one then casually says ah but then you guys drink guinness don't you yeah that's right sidney the irish live on guinness and br br while we're on the subject of why in the original film the detective is the in gere is the so what does do well he just hangs around and looks like a at of course he's got absolutely nothing to do apart from call in the marines at the end and he only does this because the nice ira man tells him to br br while we're on the subject of gere why i suppose it's only a matter of time before hollywood remakes gandhi with playing ex gandhi his way through 1940s and 50s india he is after all a bit dark of and therefore very likely to be a muslim let's not forget that character is a killer and therefore a nasty piece of work and if he's not why does he know the if he's not why does he know all his moves and if he is why is he such a limp and such a person br br all this goes to show that the makers of this film couldn't be bothered to a think about the plot b have the characters making decisions that were in keeping with their character c avoid cheesy stereotypes like having the big boss bad guy kill his own friend – i honestly thought this had turned into a bond movie d give the central characters something to do e credit the audience with a of intelligence br br this film is an insult to the british and irish killed at the hands of terrorists it's an insult to the irish people it's an insult to not great but pretty good film it rips off and an insult to the intelligence but most of all – and most unforgivable – it is an insult to my a for having to sit through the over two hours of run time it took to finish honestly you'd think with no plot no characters and no dialogue it would be over in no time but they didn't even have the decency to quit early,negative
i'm sorry but i don't understand how the studio away with this the movie is just not worth it maybe as a theater play but certainly not as a movie and why do they call it a thriller the acting is good but i expect anything less from these perfect actors robert redford plays very well and willem dafoe is convincing enough as the bad guy helen can play almost any role and always still looks beautiful to me i'm also a fan of her british detectives still they just can't save this so boring movie i'm sorry i hope we don't get to many movies anymore from this director jan cause he obviously doesn't now the meaning of the words and thriller,negative
i was hoping to like this movie to settle in for an evening of goofy fun i like judy davis and juliette lewis and the premise seemed off the wall enough to be entertaining br br unfortunately i found myself over and over again judy davis gave a fine performance but had very little to work with juliette lewis was fabulous as expected but had very little to do the plot was full of twists that were just plain silly and as so often happens in movies of this type nobody acted the way a real human being would act and personally i thought gay was totally miscast br br the movie also seemed to shift about from a black comedy with touches of farce to a total farce with touches of black comedy one reviewer here notes that other reviews seem to want this movie to be something different and therefore it all i can say is that i would have settled for the movie being something and sticking with it this one feels like the director had some ideas but wasn't able to pull them all off i give it a 4 out of 10,negative
fellow noir be not this is a stinker poorly filmed poorly acted and there is nothing nothing here for the film buff looking for yet another solid b movie from the of the 40's 50's era of classics i gave it a try based on the relatively high rating on imdb there's no for taste but i found nothing in this movie to recommend to other imdb members this is a classic example of having watched a movie and feeling like you have been cheated out of x number of minutes that it took the movie to get to its thankful demise to have alan on the cover of the dvd tape is nearly fraud he is on camera less than two minutes and has almost no dialogue this isn't this gun for hire folks it is a classic in the lousy sense of the studios out fodder on no budget we all search for the great ones save your time on gangs inc paper bullets it is lousy,negative
i didn't have very high expectations about just before dawn i don't know why i keep buying these slasher movies when i know it's all the same every time maybe i'm a bit anyway i'm glad i bought this one yes it's all the same no it has nothing original yes it's about a little group of teenagers going in the woods to camp drink and have sex yes they get killed one by one by a maniac and you know what it's just magic it's one of the best experiences i had watching a slasher movie the places where it's shot are so wonderful you see mountains it's just amazing it takes a very long time except for the opening scene before the killer starts killing but i didn't care it was enjoyable to watch enough not to care what i mean is you won't be sitting there waiting for the murders to start because every thing that happens is enjoyable because of the beauty of the film itself the ending is a bit weird but i won't tell you anything more about it you'll know what i mean another thing i enjoyed you care about the characters they're not just a bunch of who spend their time each other sure they are pure stereotypes of usual slasher characters but there's something special about them anyway it's a great horror movie and i hope you have a pretty good time watching it because i really did,positive
an man known as bill lives in a small dreary flat with a poster of marilyn monroe on the wall and his for company only the man can't think of anything to write he wanders around the streets following people just to see where they go maybe this will give him some inspiration to write he begins to follow a well dressed man holding a bag he follows him for a few days while in a the well dressed man sits down at a table on the opposite side of bill and why bill is following him the well dressed man says his name is then surprisingly informs bill that he is a and even starts to take bill with him into houses to steal things although insists he doesn't go into other people's homes to just steal he says he likes to let people know he has been there and interrupted the things they take for granted he puts from another into a man's for example br br the film is told in flashbacks at times too the director used this technique in greater abundance in his recent feature bill eventually decides to cut his hair and dress in a suit on the advice of he meets a blonde lady in a club who used to date the owner a bald man who is very dangerous she says we see a scene where a hammer is used by the bald man's hence men on a man's fingers in the blonde flat these are some of the many pieces of the puzzle that the director shows us and they will all fit into place when we arrive at the surprising conclusion,positive
another well done moral ambiguity pieces where the anti hero makes it hard to decide who to root for br br if nothing else the anyone who said there were no good parts for actresses in movies at least in 1971 there were four excellent parts for actresses in this film and all were well cast and well executed br br did a fine job as amy and would go on to play june this must have been the first time an adult male box office star shared an extended kiss with a twelve year old girl on camera wonder if there was much controversy about this at the time it was probably favorite scene given the fate of turtle randolph it is no surprise that grew up to be a hardcore animal rights br br page was likewise excellent playing a complex character with just the right amount of restraint it is interesting that she died just three days after elizabeth committed suicide throwing herself through a fifth floor window as they had also worked together in you're a big boy now br br who looks like she could be blair sister was wonderful as and should have gotten an oscar no other performance was even close that year but given what we now know about her you wonder just how much of her performance was a studied effort and how much just came from inside her shows such raw pain it is difficult to watch like marilyn incredible performance in the the viewer is probably seeing a whole lot of her own demons in the character she is playing br br finally there is jo ann harris who is stunningly perfect as the carol for my money harris was the actress of the 1970's combining with intelligence and humor she was the best reason to watch the most wanted television series and the only reason to watch wild wild west hard to believe that someone who could bring all that to the screen never became a big star,positive
how do you know if a movie is good or not it is the impact it has on you that makes the difference dead man walking upset me a great deal i watched it twice i don't know if i will be strong enough to watch it again no i did not feel good at all after watching it but the film was as successful as it can be br br robbins did a great job in all aspects of this controversial topic he avoided making an argument that could easily be seen as biased or i hope that many people get to see dead man walking i believe that anyone who supports or the death penalty so should see the movie br br i don't know what else it could take to finally convince everyone that this from ancient times does not have a place in modern society anymore br br the movie itself does not make an argument for or against death penalty it describes reality the reality is the best argument against the death penalty br br a 10 10 for great performances good filmmaking and for the most important film made in years br br thank you tim robbins br br,positive
i had great expectations surrounding this movie not as it was an apocalypse now or an 8 1 2 but high enough and when i saw it on cable they were all starting by the acting poor almost mediocre an astonishing waste of good actors and talent and the story itself since when does a 5 men squad go out on on a supposed zone to suicide one big mistake that costs the film very good actors do very poor acting here like sean penn that recently repeated the irritating way of talking on am and michael j fox that wastes a good opportunity to beat charlie sheen on performing just but the most irritating character was diaz played by john another stupid waste of fine talent by the director that was a cheesy scared and insecure kind of person even more irritating that jar jar yes you heard it the battle sequences are average the only one that really stands out is the opening sequence with michael j fox trapped by his feet on a tunnel mr de palma has a weak work here and if it for films like and these ones excellent films i would consider him a director too much publicity bad filming br br 3 10,negative
this movie was bad it wasn't even funny at all not even the sarcastic scenes were funny oh man bad so bad thumbs down karate kid teen wolf dirty dancing some kind of wonderful soul man and probably another or two chris at his very worst as the high school janitor who is a talented dancer who runs a dance studio in a warehouse he has a jealous girlfriend who breaks her and her dance spot goes to the cute blonde newcomer who chris has eyes for i thought the acting was really bad i like laugh out loud comedies this was not one not another teen movie wasn't funny but had a lot more funny scenes than totally awesome scary movie is funny i always laugh when i watch those super enjoyable this movie not funny,negative

first when does this storyline take place it has to take place after the first movie because knows and has her third child but it can't take place after the second movie because doesn't get a girlfriend or wife or something you never see her in the show br br also why is going to school the whole plot of the show is that is going to school so that he can be emperor but wasn't he emperor before this and who's emperor while he learning to be emperor shouldn't that be or was fired in this time line already and if that true why is waiting for him to fail to become plus you know in the first movie he said he was trained from birth to be an emperor by private so he should kinda know what he's doing br br why is a student he's around 25 they stated that in the first movie he's an adult going to high school does everyone think he's a moron i really like but i think because of his age and because everyone know that he is working for he should have been a teacher being a home teacher would be right up his alley br br is very unlikable she suppose to be love interest moral but a lot of time she comes off and know it all she says thinks i like i should be proud because i am pretty and smart br br she has when it comes to and knows whenever he's in trouble when he's cheating or even when he sings the hot hot song in his head even though she does cheer leading school newspaper and keeps straight a in all of her classes br br she seems more interested in using her to get to do the right thing and do well in school then dating him in fact she seems more to then a love interest br br as i bought up before is trying to get to fail so she become not sure how that's suppose to work with being fired and all seems to be the first movie in every episode in almost every show that she appears in she turns into an animal in hopes of having him fail a class there are only 3 times that i can think of that that didn't happen the jokes about being old aren't as clever in the show as they were the movie and classic jokes about are used to death in the show like the pull the level roller coaster and the lab br br also some other points that don't make sense in this series the fact that whenever is assigned something everyone acts like this assignment will make him pass or fail the class but he seems to pass every assignment given to him so why does one assignment matter so much br br seriously who is the kingdom while this is going on do they have a or a you never see anyone the kingdom unless has his powers back or is br br why is going to a normal school shouldn't he learning about how to lead a country what to do in case of war or something that will be useful to him in the future i could see taking some normal classes on like so he would know how to prepare the country for a or something like that but how is that helpful br br now i know that someone is going to say but it not suppose to make sense it's suppose to be funny then they should have more funny things in there all the funny things about the show have been done already in the movie also if they notice some of these huge plot holes why don't they poke fun at them like in the movie for example when and get to the secret lab before and and and can't explain how they got their first br br there are some good points it is nice to see some of the characters from the first movie in the series like and monkey with the bug and his family are still very good characters with a good down earth feel i feel that this series would be amusing for younger children br br in conclusion the series is not as good as the movie that it based on but it may good for younger children,negative
i bought this movie for 99 cents at k mart several years back along with breed anything with gabriel and amanda is surely worth that much it wasn't dark obsession the title i bought it under was a slight cut above breed rated at 2 4 but not enough to allow me to even keep it in the house i threw both movies in the trash br br this thing fails on so many levels it's hard to narrow it down but let's just say it's incredible boring confusing and even at 100 minutes way too long br br i love as an actor but this schlock really looks bad on his resume,negative
is a great movie plays an obsessed lover who will do almost anything to win over his lady which in this case is little does know in the film that has a major crush on her and is constantly stalking her i have to admit some of the things he did in this movie were pretty creepy like the threatening phone calls never in my life will i forget the line i love you k k k br br it's just too bad that and weren't exactly together in the film but and sunny do make a fairly good couple in the movie though role was pretty psychotic i still think he did a great job of playing it and can't possibly imagine anyone else doing that role no wonder he got an award for in br br what can i say she looks especially amazing in this film it's not that she doesn't always look amazing in her other films but did give the public a wonderful image of her br br as for the music it was excellent especially one of my all time favorite songs i also thought mere was quite nice also br br a must see for everyone overall deserves a 9 10,positive

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
i watched all three segments and am so disappointed in the story line spends so much time duvall he does nothing else in the show and tommy lee jones would never be so weak as a young man unlikeable yes but weak never we never see how or why they go to back to which is a dirt hole in the original why would they ever leave austin where they are hero's for doing nothing during the whole movie i was rooting for blue duck by the end of the movie and he was totally miscast there is no warning about how many segments there are it just ends this mini series could have been somebody tragic it looked like it was directed by the parrot and the,negative
this is a novelty in danish film the mood is not unlike that of also by thomas but with a novel touch one difference is fewer characters leaving much more room for them to be into and what characters the two are perfect is a deranged parody and lie an indifferent with a twin brother more or less an pairing of the two,positive

doll of flesh by is a japanese shocker about three thugs who sexually abuse torture and a young woman whilst filming their horrible actions typically twisted japanese porno that offers plenty of sadistic sexual violence and grisly gore there is no plot to speak of just plenty of hard core sex scenes again and lots of blood the special effects are quite impressive the of japanese porn actress is shown in detail the tongue cutting scene really made me her arm is also chopped off and her stomach is open and finally one of the is having sex with her intestines psycho the snuff actually reminds me guinea pig flowers of flesh and blood but it's not as memorable so if you're a fan of ultra japanese like all women are or my virgin slave give this one a look 8 out of 10,positive
this movie the story of john belushi based of his biography wrote by bob all of movie is on flashback without a order where after the death of john belushi we see one angel belushi during few points of his life michael in the character of john belushi is enough credible but entirely devoid of the force of belushi and his play stay only a pale animation the director on more not succeed to give on the story that for who not knows the book is very confused but the worse is that they have featured bob that spoke with belushi before he died for this negative points the movie is only a would be attempt to the controversial story of john belushi my rate is 4,negative
there's a good running bit about the price tag of a the bimbo in the office shows off the bargain she got for 22 of tag later mary finds the tag in the bedroom proof that bimbo slept with him still later mary is about to have an affair with cortez looks at the price tag of her 14 and is reminded of how disgusted she was about the bimbo as well as the fact that she's spent 8 less than the most obvious woman she's ever met it sounds an obvious morality turn but it was well done the film would be stronger if robert character had been played by a more powerful actor he's too low key for a self made salesman and he spends most of the film with his face turned away from the camera and if cortez had been given more to do than smile ironically both male leads are bland and forgettable and are by the male makeup so popular in this film's era however the mary character is interesting appealing and believable behind closed doors is well worth seeing,positive
i think that this is a disappointing sequel i miss a lot of the old characters king anne marie etc and i don't like it due to the fact that not even half of the original voices are back to do the characters a lot of personality was lost in charlie and the villain red is not even half as bad as carface was in the first one if you're a big fan like i am it's worth seeing just to see how the story is continued but don't count on it being 5 stars in your book,negative
i just finished watching one episode 5 a boy in a bush so maybe my review is not very fair br br but based on that episode this is a very poor version of the acting is crap the main character dr whatever her name is is so fake it actually hurts i wouldn't cast her to do an add for dog food br br the other thing is david of the angel fame a good actor does a great job but wasted of the idiotic acting of that woman br br supporting cast is ok but all is ruined due to this stupid acting of emily br br very disappointing version of very sorry to see it appear on the filmography of some of the potential talents involved in it br br that woman is really sh t at least in that episode but based on this one view i will not even watching it even if it was shown on an elevator screen,negative
after seeing this movie i have no choice but to write a review in the hopes that there are others like me out there who were blown away by the rocket ninja action and white hot sexual that is ninja iii the br br we all know that sho rocks that is a given but how about jordan ultra macho interpretation of his character police officer billy bravo mr bennett bravo you prove early on while trying to seduce the christie played to perfection by one miss of fame that you are not afraid to take chances on your craft i particularly enjoyed how you do not feel the need to step in and attempt to help her as 4 thugs try to rape her outside her gym oh you could have helped sure but by standing there and watching you let her know who was boss will wear the pants in this relationship i also enjoyed how mr bennett was not afraid to repeatedly take off his shirt or wear the wife tank top despite his gorilla like shoulders and back back and shoulder hair are hot and knows it and how about all i can say is i see a sex bomb getting ready to explode she's got all the right moves as both a and a martial arts the chemistry behind and bennett is what makes this movie you'd think she would hate him because he's kind of a cheesy jerk but no my friends the animal is too strong to resist and they bond like crazy sho is not as prominent as you might think though still a main character which is fine by me because all i wanted was more bennett and he does seem to wear a lot of eye makeup which was nice to see the special effects wow that is all i can say i will not give away the ending but let's just say it will not disappoint i love ninja iii the and can only hope that there is a ninja 4 i give it a 5 out of 5 throwing stars disappoint,positive
bullets may not have off his chest but the lone ranger was every bit the symbolic icon to me as my other hero superman he represented truth justice and the american way in a classic tv western setting living by the principle that he would never use his gun to kill while the american with his faithful indian companion to bring every single outlaw to justice the of tv provided the perfect opportunity for a post war generation to find it's ideal in an enigmatic masked man who stood for law and order while providing entertainment for five seasons almost eight years br br today i had the opportunity to view for the first time the complete three part origin episodes start to finish without the standard opening and closing sequences to the continuity of the story for fans of the ranger this is the grand daddy of all western telling as it does how texas ranger john reid survived the by the butch gang and how he was back to health by an indian friend from his childhood jay declares his companion a and names him i've read various interpretations of the origin of the term but i'm satisfied with explanation reading too much into it just from the story just like the english translation of from spanish which i won't reveal because it's just better not to know if you can help it br br i thought it quite clever how the origin story created the of the lone ranger like the sixth grave that created the illusion that all the rangers died in the box canyon you never see the face of the man who becomes the lone ranger as it's always turned away or to hide his real identity even the origin of silver is handled brilliantly the voice of the story's narrator describing the wild sterling qualities would that relate say to sterling silver i got the biggest kick out of that br br of course with the passage of time watching the lone ranger episodes today offers a view of how the show was beyond the origin story some of them are almost embarrassingly goofy particularly when it comes to a lone ranger showdown when he shoots into the middle of a crowd of bad guys to knock a gun out of it's hand and how about that little wave he gives to whenever they're about to the bad guys it's always the same gesture but always knows what it means in different circumstances then you have the episodes where moore takes off the ranger mask to don a different disguise to another character in service to the story he even went under cover once as an actor portraying president abraham lincoln to a villain top hat and all br br few fans that i come across ever know that actor john hart replaced moore for the season in a contract that moore had with the show's producers if you ever saw that happy days episode where his hero you'll notice it was john hart listed in the credits it's difficult actually to tell if you're watching a hart episode or not the key is to listen to the voice moore's is so distinctive that it's a dead br br if you ever get the chance to some of the final season color episodes you're in for a treat the i've seen on vhs are absolutely gorgeous although i don't know if commercial are available most of the black and white episodes around have been re by any number of in different so getting your hands on those should be no problem the must see of course is the three part origin and if you don't watch anything else this gives you all the flavor and excitement you need to capture the imagination of one of the most famous heroes hi silver,positive

i don't think i can add much more to what has already been said about this film however i can offer a small from seeing st v in the theater in the last dreadful scene as the camera is pulling out from the camping shot and it seems likely that the credits will start rolling at any second the audience seemed to rise in normally for a movie like this at least some die hard fans stay to watch right up until the final as the people out i remember hearing no laughing and cheerful banter only low br br i remember reading a movie review in the local paper in which the critic said that it was so bad that only trek fans would like it what an idiot the fans were the ones most apt to tear it apart first br br favorite worst scene target shooting on a voyager space through a no less space must be a much smaller frontier than we thought,negative
let me break down this film for you br br the first fifteen minutes are a showcase for terrible special effects i'm not one to about special effects but what you've got to understand is that if you can't afford good special effects you shouldn't anchor your film around special effects fire of color at each other into stock explosions and past with counts low enough to count with your fingers you will have no idea what is happening it will not make sense br br the second act involves a woman walking in the desert at this point you will be treated to drab scenery and illogical boring fight scenes nobody speaks nothing interesting happens the goals are unclear and are not very compelling this goes on for about 45 minutes br br then in a five minute montage she into an enemy base herself to a rocket tries to destroy a weapon fails and dies br br none of this has any bearing on the eventual direction of the film br br in the last twenty minutes basically the memories get transferred to her daughter who goes into for a very large number of years learning the secrets of mankind after this we see the first and last five minute segment of human interaction in the film then the new heroine is forced to choose whether she wants to become part of the material that causes the big bang or not you know because when the universe is you get to decide if you want to be a part of it br br she chooses yes but the memories of mankind survive in a capsule maybe we won't make the same mistakes again huh if you like movies with characters then this is not a good movie for you the lead roles could have been nicely by any old wind up toy capable of staying right side up while walking through sand all of the story is told through painfully dull narration br br the film tries to seem deep by throwing together a whole bunch of undeveloped science fiction ideas there are enough concepts here to fuel a number of films but as it stands it's with completely irrelevant details two thirds of this film could have been reduced to a 45 second montage instead the narrator fills in a worth of without ever giving us a reason to care what happens to the characters br br there are good ideas in here but nobody watches films to see ideas explained people watched films to be entertained this film does not entertain,negative

this is one of the strangest things on tv it is set in a superb called which seems to be the place in the country it features a bar with no visible staff or customers a university with no students a police station with no criminals and a surgery with more doctors than patients the story lines are dire every episode revolves round a bizarre medical issue acted out by a variety of extras who can never actually act and for some reason the doctor always ends up round their house solving their problem pretty entertaining for its pure comedy value but i cannot believe that this thing actually as a serious drama,negative

the very few reviews i could find online of really do not do it justice i read them all before the dvd but for some reason i ordered it anyway i it almost immediately but the order had already gone through so i couldn't it i'm very glad now that i couldn't it's an extraordinary movie br br i won't give a synopsis of the plot because other reviewers have already done that but i will say that i don't understand comments that it's bleak shocking weird depressing or pornographic it is certainly very unusual which i suppose could make it seem weird to some people but the other criticisms must reflect the own issues because i didn't see any of that in the movie i just watched i'm not attracted to boys so the nudity didn't seem pornographic at all to me it's just a kid trying to figure out who he is with no help at all from the irresponsible adults in his life and it's sweden not so topless women are no big deal br br but what surprised me most is how positive the movie is in its depiction of this lost kid who goes on a sort of odyssey through all sorts of strange experiences looking for and ultimately finding himself it's fascinating thoroughly original and deeply satisfying br br i'm not at all surprised that won three major awards for best film direction and actor but i'm absolutely that the actor who won was not the kid whose performance as must be one of the most remarkable ever filmed but in the relatively insignificant role of mother's sleazy boyfriend i don't understand that at all but it doesn't alter the fact that this is a great movie,positive

written by someone who has been there you can tell but only if you've been there excellent performances by meryl streep of course and william hurt br br many people have said that it is about a dysfunctional family i think every family is dysfunctional when they are facing this kind of torment to not be dysfunctional would be dysfunctional you are losing your family as you know it can anything be worse people need to see this movie so when they are faced with this nightmare maybe they will change how they do it maybe they will see that the father is denying himself valuable time he'll never get a chance at again maybe they will realize how hard it is to die or to watch someone you love die they didn't miss much of the nightmare it's hard to forget,positive
in the animated series br br was an amoral rebel that was completely detached from everything and everyone she was cruel selfish loving unpredictable witty confident sarcastic lethal ambiguous all at once the original had layers upon layers of depth she almost never allowed her personal emotions to show through the original plot was deliciously ambiguous and thought provoking you could never tell what motives were was a whereas was a radical because of this they could never have any semblance of a stable relationship br br in the movie br br works for the and her political motives and personal motives are very clear she was pretty loving vulnerable easily emotional and very predictable the in the movie had one of depth at most the plot was obvious and contrived everything is completely laid out for you from the beginning there was virtually no conflict between and at least in terms of personal the only conflict between them was that they were on different sides br br the movie was a horrible disappointment to me i felt betrayed they took the idea of one of my favorite animated characters of all time all the depth and personality out of her and her full of hollywood clichés the essence of the animated series was completely lost in this movie br br the only reason i'm not giving this movie a 1 is because the visuals were incredible it was neat to see some of the familiar animated scenes like the fly in the eye done with cgi,negative
while this movie is not the most entertaining in the world i think it is better than most over all i mean it had it's little laughs and just all around a good feeling it's not too often we get to see two old just having fun with their age and honestly having a good time with the jokes walter and jack had such a great chemistry together as friends brother in laws just watching them these women was fun and you for them all the way because we have to admit it or not for their age they still had game d i loved just the whole plot of being able to move on and having fun no matter how old you are i'd recommend this movie for a nice laugh if you want one br br 7 10,positive

firstly i loved the book more so than the more popular da code and although the film was not well received i liked it and bought the dvd however there is no chance that i will ever want to watch angles and demons ever again br br the film barely resembles the book in fact only the general premise of the story is there br br from the very start of the film i was disappointed in the book robert receives a call and from director of who finds the body of father can't remember the name and then to come using the super fast plane in the book the only people who knew about this technology that the father and daughter team had created were themselves and the in the film however there was a massive team involved so the tension was never there how did they find out etc br br leaving out or rather changing this whole part of the story was a massive mistake and was in my mind what made it a poor movie it changed everything that happened from then on when the was confronted in the locked room it should have been who shot the video from his wheel chair the commander rushed in to get the but was shot by in the film it was the commander in the room and was shot i think i got this right but i was bored and can't really remember the events in the film br br there was no love interest between and robert and in the book she wasn't at when he arrived and was indeed was in from her research work in the book all four of the were killed but in the film the last one of the four survived the in the book was kidnapped and robert had to rescue her and it was they that killed the assassin at the church of the not blown up like he was in the film by the the bit where robert was confined under a stone coffin was not there saved by his mickey mouse watch alarm ok in the book we are led to believe that out of the helicopter fair enough to say that this was a bit far stretched but it was important in the film because he had to race back with the film there was no mention of how and her adopted father became involved this was also important in getting to know the character of br br in all one of the worse films i have seen i would have left early but my brain went and i lost the use of my legs a really really poor attempt and not one of ron finest in fact how he will get work again is beyond me i want my money back,negative
return to a k a convicted is almost the one good thing about this particular film was that i was never bored that being said the reviews that this movie as a low budget success may not have watched the same movie that i saw br br rather than write a review and tell you what happens and what works and doesn't work i will simply comment that nothing works there are plot holes in this movie that you can drive a semi through the acting in the film is not very good although that may be a result of a script so poorly that it could have been ghost written by george lucas there was no need for exceptional sets or costumes for this particular movie and everything seemed appropriate did i mention that there were some plot holes by the end of the movie you are wondering how a blind guy can be such a good shot with a shotgun why kelly preston quinn why she would fall asleep the night before her client is supposed to be killed how quinn can drive 400 miles in such a short time with a car that keeps breaking down during the rest of the movie why quinn didn't by a fifth instead of a bunch of etc br br with all that being said this is certainly a b movie and a terrible one at that the unfortunate thing is that it just isn't bad enough to be good if you value your time please let this serve as a public service message to stay away from this one,negative
there is only one reason this movie is watchable till he is such a good actor the movie isn't completely terrible uwe boll please take up another career the special effects and action are acceptable all other aspects were very disappointing all i can say is that kevin smith an evening with talked about tim burton not ever reading the batman comics and it showed uwe boll must not have ever played the video games that he keeps making movies about if you two ever want to know how it is done go see doom was one of the best video games to film adaptations ever some people may disagree but if you watch the movie you can see that the guys at id had a lot to do with doom it doesn't seem like anyone at was even near this production,negative
it's astonishing that some people saw this as art we saw it as a poorly filmed shaky hand held camera and all generally badly acted mess that seemed more like a high school film project with the kids in black white film making of poetry in place of a story does not an art film make when we watched this in the theatre people were starting to have fits of the us included at the endless stupidity of this self indulgent meandering mess and believe me it does seem endless had we finished our candy and popcorn we too would have walked out of the theatre with the other two dozen people who packed up and left looking for something more interesting to do,negative
goofy story about a young man arquette who convinces his friends that they should kidnap frank sinatra jr nicholas the film is written ridiculously direction is odd dialogues are out of place and the actors didn't do it much justice either arquette is annoying throughout ian nicholas was nonexistent macy was decent but only because hes a pretty good actor and probably just tried his best not to come out of this project with a totally embarrassing performance he was at least tolerable this is a stupid film in my eyes boring at times not entertaining just a film that i wouldn't recommend to anybody imdb rating 5 5 my rating 4 10,negative
remake of the classic 1951 the thing from another world 12 men are in a completely isolated station in they are by a thing from outer space it and completely anything it chooses to it starts off as a dog but gets loose and has a chance to any of the men soon nobody anyone else they're isolated the radio is destroyed their helicopter likewise what are they going to do br br the 1951 film had the thing just be a big super human monster that movie was scary this one is too but the story is different and based more closely on the source material the who goes there and it's scary in a different way the movie starts right off with extremely eerie score setting just the right tone and when the thing gets attacked the amount of gore is astounding there's blood and body parts flying all over arms are bitten off heads and in the strongest one one man is face first by the thing the gore effects are strong and real nightmare material i don't scare easy but i had to sleep with the lights on when i saw this originally back in 1982 rob effects are just incredible how this picture got by with an r rating is beyond me br br it also has a very creepy feel gore aside it is very suspenseful you're not sure who is what and carpenter's direction and the score really build up the tension one complaint no one is given any distinctive personality traits they actors just remain straight faced and say their lines that's annoying but the movie still works br br this was a critical and commercial disaster in 1982 it with e t and many critics complained about the amount of gore and there being no female characters in the movie it's now considered one of john carpenter's best a must see for strong not a date film br br an amusing note when this was released universal sent a note along with all of the film they suggested to theatre owners that they play the film in an near the rest rooms they were afraid that people would be so by the violence that they'd have to be close to a facility to throw up,positive
with my two stars i will probably make it to the head of the imdb it list for this apparently tremendously popular tv series br br not least because of the enthusiastic comments on this website i decided to purchase a dvd edition of the series because i usually find british humour suits me just fine i gave up in the middle of the second – and according to other comments the bits were already through br br so now i know according to another comment that i definitely lack a sense of humour but then i had to laugh like crazy while watching and re watching towers to which black books is – albeit – related why the different reactions it might be a mere generation thing and yet the differences can be pointed out br br both towers and black books are set in which are meant to sustain their owners both are not successful but seem – by a miracle – to survive towers is funny because the protagonists have to deal with situations they cannot cope with the lies in the fact that they make a serious effort to succeed and while laughing one also feels sorry for them black books has no situations it's just there and the owner passes his time feeling sorry for himself if a situation threatens to it is quickly away it is remarkable how fast and how often a subject is dropped and the protagonists turn to something entirely different to produce an additional joke telling jokes – and not very good ones seems to be all black books is about why a a store would have done the job just as well br br no stop wait it's a because below the of and arrogance the protagonists are supposed to be delicate and they are not some but bumbling semi intellectual losers hey they are like you and me the manner in which the series makes that claim is the only way i can explain its success there is nothing remarkable in the actions what's special about them is their unrealistic living conditions many viewers maybe envy them for that protagonists that and vapid convey a sense of and seems to be a trademark of the time the first world is living in br br recently i watched also a fairly new british tv comedy show i found it funny it is often quite tasteless or – but always with a purpose and hitting the eye in its social criticism the humour is mainly created by situations or by characters with a purpose the low ratings in imdb might indicate that this brand of humour is not in keeping with the times but i am glad it's still alive and kicking and hope it will continue to do so,negative

i just went to see this movie with a friend i quickly looked and read a short synopsis and thought it sounded interesting we came out the movies not feeling very sure if we liked it not br br the acting was good enough and connection with characters was ok the main character i thought acted a lot like someone like van yes it was pretty entertaining br br but the plot i felt like it was used from other movies the script was a bit weak i'm not sure why every time something bad happens the main character says oh my god every time br br the special effects worked well but sorry for this spoiler the main monster at the main climax reminded me a lot of the out of lord of the rings br br overall the movie was ok but i felt like it's been done already go and see buy all means but don't expect too much,negative
a lot of things in this futuristic satire are more funny than actually funny though it does have some laugh out loud moments but a lot of that is because it seems to have been cut by the studio to better appeal to exactly the idiots it's mocking many situations aren't allowed to develop there's obvious of material and worst of all a narrator explains everything most of which needs no explanation probably because some preview audience didn't understand what was going on in other words a movie about down has been you guessed it br br one hopes that a longer better version of this comedy will eventually surface on dvd and it will become the cult it deserves to be but even in this and somewhat comic spirit form it's one of the more memorable films of the year a of disgust against our culture and all the ways it's become and in the name of appealing to the i watched it right after land of the dead george romero's latest of the single idea that zombies which is basically the same point judge is making yet where romero's viewpoint now zombies that needs to revolt against the rich seems hopelessly out of date take is fresh dead on and far more disturbing just listen to the in your movie audience it up for president state of the union just like their counterparts on screen and you'll know that we're all doomed,positive

does a wonderful job depicting a conflicted bride torn between the challenges that her the memories of the freedom she thought she would have when in college inspired by a famous author and the safety of her marriage to a man she really doesn't love this movie is definitely worth seeing as predictable as it may be the acting is inspiring and real chemistry exists between and malcolm warner,positive
this is a catastrophe movie set in london starting multiple and on scotland are towards east england coast and later the south after several hours of heavy the london above is short from running over and it the way for disaster then a wave travel relentless down east causing and lives of millions of are in danger at the center of the story is a tom a who tries to save london from the effects of giant wave trying to convince the authorities that the town was furthermore a marine engineer robert and his ex wife samantha they are trapped into the and dropped to sea meantime the secret government agency ruled by under direct orders of deputy minister david attempt to control many and avoid more dead approximately 200 000 they have a little time to save london from total catastrophe br br perfectly acceptable drama disaster with alright acting magnificent tom as a who catastrophe and excellent robert and as ex their love the movie packs impressive scenes brought to life by the breathtaking computer special effects better than the classic of the 70s such as and similarly to and day after although isn't a clear we know that the is caused by the effect and global warming which the hole the motion picture is well directed by tony mitchell i would recommend this movie to people who like disaster movies another adaptations about are the following 1976 by earl with robert and barbara rain 1998 ' directed by with morgan freeman and christian slater ' a rampage 1979 ' directed by bruce with richard thomas,positive
this movie is a quite fair adaptation of the novel in the novel himself is a character don is from north spain and historically a country zone they can speak language they are in south spain and they only speak spanish with accent in no way they speak but carmen explains to don that she was living in you can believe it or not anyway this is the version then you can't be critical with the movie about this be with the book you have to note are different the novel by and the opera by and this movie is an adaptation from the novel anyway in the opera don is still spanish from never he's french why so many people keep thinking don is french i don't know but i guess because the novel and the opera are in french although is supposed to be in spanish br br the only important difference between the movie and the novel is that in the movie don also kills the lover of carmen and in the novel he doesn't neither in the opera i guess they wanted to keep the movie a little more gore i think the movie is quite good anyway,positive
i was able to see anywhere but here last night as a free sneak preview i absolutely loved the film i was drawn to it because of the realistic portrayal of a mother daughter relationship there was definitely a connection between adele a and ann i think that speaks volumes of the outstanding performances of both susan sarandon and natalie portman sarandon was just the right actress to portray adele and after leaving the theater i could not think of another actress in the role portman was also excellent as ann she brought a sense of maturity and intelligence to the role that i don't think any other teenage actress could i think it would the academy of motion picture arts and should give credit where it is due and both sarandon and portman for awards in the actress and supporting actress categories it would be a shame if they were overlooked,positive
we still really love the movie and soundtrack valley girl i have owned it on video for and wore out the original soundtrack i have several friends with whom i get together and we have 80's parties where we get together and play 80's music and run valley girl on the big screen and we're all in our 30's now we have an awesome time br br it's all in good fun like ya know,positive
we all enjoyed the movie it is a very charming family film with many fun cameos it was fun to see austin musicians charlie joe and robert earl keen in the film as well as turns by famous actors julia roberts and bruce willis emma roberts is especially cute in the film however all the children are good the west texas scenery is great as is the soundtrack full of texas artists the last half seemed a bit far fetched to me however my son was interested throughout the film which is not so often with him something in the storyline was captivating for children having shown as a child i really liked the ending that is definitely not the way it really works unless you have,positive
it's been said that batman begins in the first batman movie to get it right but i think that's a horrible for i think the new batman film although greater that batman forever and batman and robin compared to tim classics with this one being the best of the five the darkness is beautiful as is the music and scenery creating a city in mystery unlike batman begins where city is a normal looking city the villains are terrific in this movie you literally can't take your eyes off of the penguin and cat woman i applaud tim burton for being original with his use of the penguin as a freak rather than an ordinary criminal or a clone of the old batman tv show in batman begins we have the scarecrow whose not nearly as demanding on screen as the penguin or cat woman the film doesn't need to focus only on batman because we already know his story and it is the villains who we are exploring and trying to figure out and they are the ones who create the plot with the penguin running for mayor and seeking revenge for his parents' by killing the first born sons of a task he fails danny gives the finest performance ever by a superhero villain in any film even joker the closing scene where the drag the dead body of the penguin into the water is touching and powerful it's a tragedy that tim burton wasn't allowed to complete his trilogy since warner bros interesting in marketing appeal wanted to the batman movies up and they got their wish unfortunately tim burton planned on directing the third film using the as the villain with no two face and robin to mess it up and i'm sure michael keaton would've signed on so this is the last great batman film batman begins is dark but boring tedious ordinary filled with lackluster villains and a playboy bruce wayne a decent batman film but the best batman film ever never batman returns holds that crown,positive
i like this movie above all others it is multi layered there is so much to see and appreciate every viewing brings a new appreciation of the story line the plot and the characters acted and extremely enjoyable if you take the time to watch it and appreciate it i love the interaction between the players the subtle relationships the period atmosphere ralph is perfectly cast as the brooding lover and geoffrey the husband is beautifully by colin the scene in the sand storm where catherine el are discussing the different types of sand is one of the high lights of the film and where the affair really starts the other relationship between el is yet another of the movie which is totally enchanting and heart a worthy winner of so many awards,positive
for those with access to the bbc or the cbc this has proved to be spectacular like battlestar this is a show from the ground up but in the case of dr who they saved the best parts i can't believe i am saying this but this is by far the best dr who this has none of the cheap production values and sometimes slow plodding of the old show the acting is quite good and there is a real sense of continuity and history the new doctor is easily the equal of the great tom baker and the writer former lead seems to have made even the minor characters come alive br br i know i'm but this should be on everyone sci fi list i just don't know why it hasn't made its way here whatever you do if you ever loved dr who or sci fi see this,positive
if you want to see someone accidentally eat another man's or look at a row of fake hard at a wedding or listen to a man talk about how good it felt to have sex with a girl while she was throwing up then this is the movie for you in neck breaking fashion between romantic and gross out comedy is certainly interesting the lovely plays the wife of tell me another one who is found in many situations with other women but there is surprisingly no nudity jake busey is thoroughly revolting as a dog who you wouldn't want as your friend shannon elizabeth and jerry are both good and make a convincing couple but the movie is far too busy trying to disgust to be any good,negative
i'm very interested in the positive reviews here while it had some good features for the most part i found this movie to be heavy handed predictable and worst of all not in the least bit scary the first 30 minutes of the movie were promising the actress did a nice job in her portrayal and the world around her was well thought out and meaningful unfortunately from there the movie entered into a spiral i went into this movie with no clue as to what it would be about didn't know anything about the actors directors genre etc at a certain point my wife made the comment is this supposed to be a scary movie well i suppose so as the plate horror movie score full of and extended could mean nothing else there didn't seem to be a whole lot of originality in the movie the romantic interest was painfully obvious from the first moment and the second half of the movie deep into the realm of the ridiculous a movie like this walks a dangerously narrow path and unfortunately there comes a point where the viewer must decide whether to continue walking along that path or to jump off and simply laugh at the of it all for the final 30 minutes i chose the latter,negative
this film along with some of the most predictable story lines and shallow characters ever seen the writer obviously bought the how to write a space disaster movie and followed it play by play in particular the typical use of talking to their loved ones from outer space putting on a brave show in the face of disaster has been done time and time again br br max q appears to have been written in the hope that the producers would throw 50 million at the project but judging by the latter half of the film which contained numerous lame attempts at special effects the producers could only 50 thousand to learn that the film was nominated for a special visual effects emmy has me absolutely br br i think a handful of high school students with a pass in media studies could have created more believable effects br br and the plot holes are too numerous to mention but i will pick one out as an example now i'm no expert but surely it's highly implausible that a worker attached to the would suddenly hold a position of power in the control room when things start to go shaped with the program surely there is someone more experienced at mission control who the program director would call on rather than a twenty nine year old who has not been in the control room before br br the only saving grace for this film is the work of bill campbell he manages to make a good attempt at something out of the train wreck that is this script br br i give this film 2 out of 10 with the above average work of bill campbell in the lead role saving it from a lower mark,negative

the film begins with a housewife norma finding out that her husband rod la had been cheating on her three years pass and apparently they'd been divorced during these years due to the infidelity oddly during this time la did not see or his two kids as took them to paris br br marie is a rich society lady and she has invited a new and improved norma to come to her house for the weekend ostensibly to help marie break up a budding romance between her daughter and la apparently norma is now a super and with her magical sex appeal she can break up the romance and no one seems to realize that she and la were married several others are there for the weekend and immediately norma is a hit with her gay sexy ways and almost all the men including la are captivated by her neither tells anyone that they were married but it's obvious that her ex wants the new and improved norma back this film is a sophisticated comedy of manners among the upper similar in some ways to jean the rules of the game oddly despite the of the depression such films about pretty rich folks were pretty popular though many today will find them a bit too in spots however fortunately in let us be gay there are plenty of cute and funny moments particularly towards the end when marie shows her true colors while not a great film it certainly is a good one and more than just another time my only real regret is that i didn't love the very end you'll just have to see it for yourself perhaps you'll agree about the ending perhaps you won't but i'm pretty sure you will enjoy this clever film,positive
since i am a fan of natalie portman i had to see the movie i enjoyed every minute of it it plays out in a very sincere way throughout the whole movie at seemed as if natalie was the mother and susan was the mother character kept making bad decisions and kept getting burned because of it br br i heard that there was supposed to be a love scene involving natalie and some guy he's in outside but natalie would only accept the script if that scene was removed and i think that is great i think that a love scene would have ruined the tone of the film br br natalie must have a knack for picking good movies to be in because i haven't seen her in a bad film yet so any movie that has natalie portman will no doubt be seen by me br br a good film 7 10,positive

slasher fare which feels overly long at 80 minutes years ago a bunch of who lived in the of a mountain were burned up in a forest fire years later are going missing from the area of the fire a bunch of horny kids are of course en route to this area for a camping trip of there own despite an ominous welcome from the forest ranger jackson the kids up to the mountain any way before long the kids start to get picked off by the monster who remains unseen to the very end of the movie probably because the makeup was so embarrassingly bad no surprises to speak of they get killed in the exact order that the formula for these movies leaving the final girl to for herself although in a downbeat denouement the final girl ends up imprisoned and by the monster br br the story itself couldn't hold the weight of feature length so it was padded out by seemingly endless shots of and insects which were obviously shot for another film and inserted here as a means of making the movie long enough for a video release on the plus side the footage is rather nice also among the highlights are talking to a baby deer a decent rock climbing death sequence ok gore and the great jackie in his final film role as the bumbling local sheriff this is a far cry from charlie chaplin but it was still nice to see him this is for slasher only,negative
first of all before i start my review i just read every review for 'the muppet here and i can't believe that someone could give a negative review to a movie like this fortunately there was only one i mean i can understand how someone may not like due to the whole sci fi genre but to not like a movie starring some of the most lovable puppets in the history of mankind is almost sad br br okay i will step off my now and review this movie br br 'the muppet came out when i was seven all of my friends wanted to see this as their birthday movie so i think i saw it about four times in the first month in theaters br br as a child many things attracted me to this and all the other muppet movies tv shows the singing was probably the main one most of the songs in 'the muppet are classics from connection to i'm going to go back there someday they're entertaining and thought provoking br br as an adult i see 'the muppet in almost a whole different light yes the things that thrilled me about it as a kid are still there but it's the little jokes and such that are just plain hilarious br br i mean when you think about it jim is a sick man br br is a frog and that is in love with a sweet pig that wears purple and could karate chop you into two pieces is a stand up comedian bear is a that is with then you have two old guys that a piano playing dog a rock band with a maniac drummer a swedish chef that you can't understand and a number of other characters that are just plain eccentric br br yet for these reasons and more has entertained millions of children and adults giving us all something special to watch and remember him by br br 'the muppet will always remain in my heart for many reasons but i think the biggest one is because it's a movie unlike a lot of recent children's movies that i feel comfortable to have my kids watch plus i don't get bored out of my mind with jokes that are down to my kids' level br br it's a great movie that is sure to be remembered forever,positive
this is hands down the most annoying and frustrating game i have ever encountered every time you turn around the game takes control of your character or creates invisible walls that you can't walk through the cut scenes leave you in control of your character's movements but only to a slight degree also you have to play the game for about 2 hours just to get past the intro it's terrible i am afraid if i play this game any more i will end up breaking something this game sucks the graphics are good but nothing special the game play however is awful to say i hate this game would be a huge understatement i got it on sale but i want my 20 back what a waste,negative
colorful characters family relationships with living with fun and humor this film has it all and more what a great man and woman ' story with a top notch plot and script it offers just clean fun lots of laughter many smiles and pure entertainment for the whole family other reviewers describe the story some i'll just offer this comparison — it's part best of show grumpy old men millions and some other comedy and life flicks rolled into one br br this gem of a film most likely had limited release and is probably not very available to rent but it's now out on dvd and i highly recommend it for purchase if you like good old fashioned fun and entertaining films for the family you can't miss with from heaven this film is a sure fire cure for the blues or to chase the away on nasty weather days or rough times,positive
i saw this at the screening at in i had some time to kill and decided to check it out it played to about 1000 people in a packed standing room only ballroom br br wow what a ride the script was tight the action tense the pacing perfect the character exposition excellent one thing i really appreciated was that you knew going in that this wasn't a big budget film yet it soon became obvious that the creators pushed their sets and effects as far as they could despite their limitations and it was more than enough br br it's true that this film was targeted at a certain audience players the creators make no effort to hide that but other filmmakers could learn a lot from them for in going for the in scene after scene and not worrying about if mom who happens to be watching will get it they got the biggest laughs time and time again but there's enough there that mom will be laughing too even if she's not in on every joke i think too many times i see films that try so hard to lower the bar to the lowest common so that they will appeal to the most people but the movie just ends up suffering for it br br but not this flick indeed this film was so solid that it had the audience wrapped around it's finger from the opening credits and while the viewers around me really wanted to like the film they weren't can be among the most critical out there br br i'm so glad i got to see this in a big crowd at least 10 times the audience was having such a good time that they into applause at a joke or scene during the film how often does that happen at it should be no surprise that there was a huge standing when the closing credits rolled br br for my own part i can't wait for this to be released after it ended one of the producers said they were shooting for a tv dvd release that date cannot come soon enough,positive

contrary to most of the comments in this section i have to say this film just barely escapes the definition ' the only readers who seem to be aware of what a of clichés it is are those who like me live in the north east and know at first hand what the area is like i am totally sick of films that are supposed to be yet portray the working class of wherever as stupid criminal low but then excuse them because of their social background and funny i briefly twice and laughed once but that was at the of two boy actors with accents supposedly trying to hide their accents from football fans there was only one likable character in the whole film and that was the grandfather played quietly but very competently by roy the only non in the cast br br as for the writing well i just wonder what university department the author studied at he certainly had no ear for the local accent and i too have never heard the expression and not only am i a native i'm a who's written on the local br br don't waste your time and on this garbage it isn't funny it isn't realistic it isn't entertaining and it is,negative
while i was watching this movie i never thought i'd be defending it it's honest enough from the about not having much of a plot there's no real characters to onto except the killer some of the acting can be better but most of it is capable br br i know a three out of ten isn't stellar but there are reviews saying it was shot poorly and completely useless etc i think it set out to do what it's supposed to fairly well the lighting is minimal at times more natural than most audiences are used to but it's supposed top look like a camcorder snuff film in fact at times the quality is probably still too high to be true to that but nobody would make it through minutes of camera work that's truly that bad br br it's not particularly scary but it is disturbing at times there are one or two characters who don't come across as believable at all and the soundtrack does get at times but overall it was put together than a lot of camcorder movies,negative
whenever an idea was successful during those golden days of the silent movies you could bet your bottom dollar that it would be repeated although is the term that is used of course one could make the argument that this business has never left us for success in the movies or tv always leads to a trend with all competing parties to come up with their own version of said hit movie or tv program br br to this last premise we strongly disagree for this is or plain and simple br br this the last silent laurel hardy short surely must have been quite well received for love hal roach mgm was on the roach lot not once but twice over the next three years we were treated to laughing roach mgm 1931 in which the goat was replaced with a cute little puppy dog also the weather is transformed into the dead of winter in the middle of a they also made other line up changes with edgar kennedy with charlie hall br br the second of the hidden animal premise is the 3 the roach mgm 1932 which a female ape from a and circus to which stan and babe were former employees the circus paid off its employees with their and the boys received the as their final br br back to our original today's subject love the short starts off simply enough the boys encounter the goat on the street and the in return follows them back to their house after stan a to her the comic moments that follow are generated with the interplay between l h and slow burn edgar kennedy their the impact is by having the interplay occur at night and as luck would have it their room is directly above the quarters br br in addition to the noise the bathing of the goat its and about laurel having another person in the room we were most amused by a little throw away gag which may well have been missed by the censors while the boys about the noise they'd been making and reminding them of the house rules about any person's being in there overnight regardless of their sex br br its camera shot is made from inside the boy's room over their shoulder with edgar in the hall and facing them he warns remember this is a respectable establishment just as he says this a lady clad in evening clothes walks across and behind the followed by a sailor who his hat forward as they pass,positive
from 1936 1939 peter lorre made a string of highly successful mr films while technically b films they were much better made than typical films of the genre however lorre tired of making these highly repetitive films and told friends he wanted out of the series when it was canceled in 1939 lorre was thrilled but his plans of getting more complicated and satisfying roles did not when he moved to columbia pictures island of doomed men is one of these films and it's pretty obvious the studio isn't putting much effort into the movie as i think the plot was written by talented perhaps but still the movie made little sense at all br br it begins with a guy to be an undercover agent for the government he is to an island in the us where something strange is now they easily could have just got a search warrant to do this but given that were writing the film the agent takes the rap for a murder he didn't commit and spends a year in prison for this he apparently hopes that he'll be to this island as many are sent there when they finish the term br br there are some more serious problems with this idea first they only have him serve a year before getting but he was convicted of murder and he refused to who he really was they would never anyone in a case like this second what if he wasn't to the island he would have spent an entire year in jail for nothing third why not just have or or cops in come to the island talk about a contrived plot br br once on the island the agent discovers that evil peter lorre has set up his own private prison and it with guys on as slave labor what about the men having to report to their officers this was never explained but lorre was using them to mine for and they were treated now another question i had was that if lorre was discovering huge there he was a very wealthy man so why not just pay people to mine for the why set up your own version of devil's island and beat and kill the men br br eventually lorre gets what's his and the slaves are released unfortunately by then i really didn't care overall watchable but rather dumb career only took a turn for the better when he moved the following year to warner brothers with films like island of doomed men i could see why his stay at columbia was short,negative
this movie was awful i wanted those hours of my life back for god's sake stay far away from this awful ball movie at all costs its not worth mentioning the title but the ratings on this movie are pretty generous for a vomit movie like this and where do i begin the dumb a kids in the movie the zero plot or story the garden variety college frat boy esquire scenes of or the very bad acted teen angst innuendo my god it never ended i remember thinking i would have rather the movie theater floor then sit through this one again br br but what do you expect most people with the brain power to look up reviews are not going to be the target audience here at all so go see 2 again or the jet lee one if your to yourself look this movie will just cost you your soul your money your energy and your brain cells the warning,negative
after watching 1 i'd heard there was a sequel and decided to look it up the movie seemed pretty bad and i told myself to stay away but stupid me gave in and actually bought the damn thing all the reviews and everything bad you've heard about ii are true the movie is simply worn of ideas and the plot and jokes i've ever heard the the acting the whole movie really is bad randy quaid was funny though br br just stay away from this movie as much as you can is all i can really say i deeply regret watching and buying the dvd but not sure which was the decision just stay away as much as possible,negative
i went to see the movie because my boyfriend was raving about how much he wanted to see it and how his friends had already been and loved it so i came in with a neutral attitude not really expecting the worst unfortunately that is what i got i could write a 15 page paper on why this is easily the worst movie i have ever seen but for your benefit i will point out the pros and the endless supply of cons to begin the acting was very good especially christopher and there were also a few lines that deserved a laugh and a couple suspenseful scenes sadly good acting a little humor and suspense is where the good points end the whole beginning story could have been great a jewish girl's family is butchered she goes into hiding later encounters the man responsible for her pain and then a great plan for revenge sounds very good but the movie wouldn't be quite as satisfying for the americans and jews nazi blood i have no problem with wwii movies or killing nazis i saw and like it very much however it's the way and attitude with which our would be heroes kill i'll give you a prime example of the kind of this movie our gang a german unit and kills all of them except a sergeant and two other soldiers no problem so far they ask the sergeant to information on another german unit when he refuses to the lives of his fellow soldiers they bash his head in a with a baseball bat cheering and swearing as if they were at a football game they took that head off now let's look at the in that scene here's a situation a group of american soldiers are and taken captive by the enemy the same scenario follows and the american commanding officer would rather die than his fellow soldier the enemy his head in with much celebration this would an audience if this scene were in a movie that american soldier was a hero for placing his men above himself and those brutally murdered him about the nazi sergeant well he's a nazi and deserves to die the death possible right the felt the same towards the jews see the by celebrating the butcher of the nazis we are placing ourselves on the same sadistic level br br major 2 the nazis make a propaganda movie about a german sniper who kills nearly 300 american soldiers near the end of the movie the film is revealed hitler and his giggle with delight as they watch an american soldier get shot out of a window and fall into a the nazis cheer as soldier after soldier falls to the skill this is supposed to the american viewers of this scene those evil nazis are laughing over the deaths of our brave men well the irony is isn't that what we were doing or supposed to be doing the entire time we're watching laughing over the pain of others simply because they were the bad guys how would we feel if native americans somehow made a hit film in which they bloody vengeance on the american or what if blacks made a movie the turner rebellion ok enough about the flaws br br i'll other reasons for the 1 star rating 1 there were view admirable characters throughout the movie brad pitt even a woman by sticking his finger in her wound because he suspects she betrayed him he's the good guy 2 scenes dragged on way longer than they needed to 3 brad southern supposedly accent is horrible and thoroughly annoying throughout the entire move i'll quit now since i'm at 700 words br br unfortunately it seems that the general population doesn't think anymore they just want blood and that is why this movie received such a high i recommend this movie for the ignorant or if you are jewish and simply wanting to see a nice fantasy justice personally when i finally got out of the movie theater i felt like i had been or wish that i had so i wouldn't have suffered over 2 hours of mental rape,negative

it's 2 stars only because they put a lot of work in making this game look good i played plenty of good and bad games and i think this game has the story i was ever forced to listen the best thing they could have done is to let you skip the conversations but no you must listen to them talking for 10 minutes and just continue doing the same things over and over again climb the building save the citizen go kill some dude it's all the same should really hire someone with some imagination br br i'm a huge fan of prince of series first 3 the story was good and you wanted to know what happens next all the time i don't even hate prince of 4 but i think anyone who was in charge of developing the story for should be banned to write another thing for the rest of his life br br boring story and same missions over and over again if just one of these two things was good the game would be worth playing,negative
this starts off in in a bunch of kids are killed in a mine explosion set off by the owner cut to 2006 recently widowed karen her teenage daughter sarah taylor and little girl emma chloe move to a remote house located near that mine what they don't know is the ghosts of the little kids haunt the woods and kill anyone who's around after dark br br slow and boring horror movie the premise is obvious and has been done to death already also there are huge gaps in logic in the story it's never made clear why these kids just kill anybody or why they eat the bodies afterwards yes it's shown they're dead already why do they need food and why haven't they gotten the main villain in the story long before he was around the area why pick this time to attack him also the characters aren't the least bit likable sarah comes across the worst it has a few saving the location is beautiful and eerie at the same time some of the killings were very bloody and brutal and the kids themselves looked spooky walking through the woods at night but all in all i was bored and fighting to stay awake you can skip this one,negative
taut and gripping edward is a distinctive suspense thriller an unlikely message movie using the look and devices of the noir cycle br br in washington a company of soldiers cope with their by hanging out in bars three of them end up at a apartment where robert ryan drunk and beats their host sam to death because he happens to be jewish police detective robert young with the help of robert mitchum who's assigned to outfit suspicion falls on the second of the three george cooper who has ryan the third buddy steve to his silence before young in br br by a superior script by john paxton draws precise performances from his three starring ryan naturally does his angry white male and to the while mitchum with his characteristic alert his role however is not central young may never have been better gloria gives her first fully rendition of the smart mouthed vulnerable tramp and as a sad sack who's into her life paul kelly us in a small role that he makes memorable br br the politically engaged perhaps inevitably to but it's pretty much confined to of how his irish grandfather died at the hands of a century earlier thus incidentally to the limit at least there's no attempt to render an explanation however of why ryan hates jews and and br br curiously survives even the major change upon it the novel it's based on richard the brick dealt with a gay bashing murder but homosexuality in was still beyond the pale news of the holocaust had however begun to emerge from the of europe so hollywood felt to register its protest against anti the studios always at the of any potential ticket br br but while the change from to anti works in general the don't fit so smoothly the up a drunk young soldier then him back home looks odd even though or especially since there's a girlfriend in it raises the question whether this scenario was inadvertently or left in as a tip off to the original engine murderous rage,positive
therefore it is important to talk about the dvd release instead of just the film tales from the is a film that only one studio in the world could deliver the one that has brought us innovative and original real independent films for 30 plus years now troma this is truly a very special film because it manages to be certainly not my favorite of the troma productions but released on a disc that because of what i just said is one of my most and favorite dvd's not only counting the countless troma i own but counting my entire collection of films the film itself is the result of an ill plan to produce a television series to be directed by a director who was trusted with a substantial amount of money especially for troma to make something wonderful and delivered a lot of unfinished and incomprehensible material before or being fired i am not sure which at this moment in order to prevent having to a vast investment down the toilet lloyd kaufman and michael decided to get together a team of directors and actors and use the material as the of one movie one movie that really consists of two in the nice old tales from the crypt anthology fashion by the played by mr kaufman himself but as i said not quite my own favorite of all their movies that is greatly due to a weird sense of discipline at the various sets forgetting about the hard troma rule of no booze on the set which was discovered by a furious lloyd and other less respectable employees that troma had at the time of the filming of the added scenes all this made it all but impossible for mr kaufman to make a worthwhile product in the editing room but lloyd kaufman is a genius and with the troubled added scenes to an already start product he crafted not much less of a masterpiece the film itself is as good as circumstances would allow the most brilliant filmmaker to slice together and it is certainly highly entertaining totally confusing loaded with those elements that made troma great and certainly unique and one of a kind as a film itself though not as brilliant as many other troma productions the genius of independent cinema however made the dvd of this film so much more than a release of a film with some the film is when push comes to actually only a part of the entire dvd that in its whole is a document of the difficult situation serious filmmakers find themselves in having to survive in a world that is by the few very big ones who don't really allow any other players on their market a document of the problems one has when people to be on the level only to find out that freedom sometimes is something that is hard to live up to and realization that access to a movie budget when the boss is not around can corrupt even those who should really know better the brilliance of this dvd is that the film is not perfect and that lloyd knows it and doesn't want to make anyone think he believes it is the full length commentary is a show in itself as is often the case with mr audio mixing humor at those who deserve it and highly interesting information for anyone interested in independent film making in such a fashion that watching the film again with this commentary straight after viewing it on its own merits is so interesting it is hard to stop the feature length documentary the thick brown line takes us behind the scenes at the various locations where lloyd visits the sets only to sometimes take over and make the most of what he finds there we see him somewhat sometimes different from his appearances in other making of documents such as fart of darkness and apocalypse soon both to be found in the must own make your own damn movie box set br br the added scenes with james who started his career at troma only to find success as a writer an now a director in hollywood and parker again someone to start out with a troma released work to later be a national hero with his south park series are entertaining and probably as is much else on this release a reason for this disc alone for anyone remotely interested in the work of these two characters loaded with much more than i could mention here including a second audio commentary this is one of the best troma dvd releases,positive
i don't understand where these bad comments are coming from the movie had you on the edge of your seat and made you somewhat afraid to go to your car at the end of the night br br the part that gets you is that this could all happen not to the extent perceived in the movie but the whole idea is reality this movie took that reality and twisted it into a dee nightmare br br three thumbs up the third one is from the dead body in my,positive
the film moves along quite well but the acting direction and editing leave a lot to be desired the characters are mostly lifted from other films and the jones is straight out of gone in 50 seconds the comedy gangster movie is a genre that should have lots of contrast the stupid dealers in lock stock and the shoot out that leaves everyone dead you should never really know whether to laugh or just sit there in shock this movie had the right elements but it is too easy to sit there like a person and at the small details that should have been fixed somewhere along the line and once belief has been one just become increasingly critical a pity it was a brave attempt and although clint eastwood is famous for saying that'll be ok for a scene he puts the work in before he shoots and he is clint eastwood here a bit more imagination with the camera and and a bit more and rehearsal for the delivery of the lines would have made a big difference,negative

jack frost 2 the worst horror film i have ever seen why 1 the premise is well beyond ridiculous 2 the damn thing doesn't even have legs to move on 3 it escapes after being completely in anti freeze first film 4 get this it travels all the way across an ocean of salt water to a island to get revenge on the sheriff that did him in the first film 5 killer i have yet to be drunk enough to see ginger dead man so as of the writing of this jack frost 2 hold the distinction of being the stupidest horror film ever even the of it's predecessor if you can believe that,negative
here is a fantastic concept for a film a series of crash into a small town and the resulting alien is caught on a single camera dash as the town slowly taken over leave it to albert to screw that up don't get within 100 feet of this flick holy crap what a bomb it might be worst yet the crazy thing is there is the of a creative idea in here an entire of an told from the of a when i heard that a while back i imagined the car into stuff people getting run over and infected types breaking the and surrounding the car in chaos that would be cool right instead we have the lead driving around in circles for the entire time in a area occasionally running into the three infected types who just stand there the last bit is literally a 15 minute shot where nothing happens in front of the camera just noises are heard stay away on a somewhat note i think i am officially calling an end to my watching only took me 20 crappy movies to realize i have better things to do,negative
tough luck follows a homeless drifter as he becomes in the underground crime world of deception and chaos norman has been released from prison and has nothing to lose he is almost killed before the owner of a carnival named hires him for work soon a strong desire for to murder his mischievous wife an erotic dancer for the carnival things soon get complicated when falls in love with and warns her of the scheme they become involved in a very steamy affair that leaves little to the imagination of the viewer after which they soon make a plan together they plot to murder but things don't go quite as planned br br i would be lying if i said that this film didn't surprise me i was personally blown away by how good this film was upon renting it several years back i was expecting another cliché thriller with a lot of the typical elements and themes that are shown in a lot of films of that type these days within minutes i was hooked and found myself quite involved with the world of this film it's the kind of film much like buffalo that just sucks you in and you into the style and the feeling of paranoia it is a film that really pulls it off in stunning fashion one thing i particularly appreciated was how the film depicted it's characters the film isn't as easy and clear cut as it may appear in the plot summary these are characters that you actually grow to care about and are fascinated by including the characters that are supposed to be the bad guys in truth there are no good guys or bad guys in this film all of the characters are flawed in ways that are realistic and incredibly true to life there aren't many films that manage to accomplish this task as as this film does but it's definitely a film style that i like and i want to see more of from films today there were quite a few crime films that were like that back in the early 50s but there hasn't been one as gripping and unique as this ever since br br in terms of flaws i have mostly very minor the film itself isn't exactly original however i doubt that most folks would expect it to be original the film's editing style also may be irritating to some folks as it tends to have a camcorder type of shaky throughout while i wasn't bothered by it and actually felt that it added to the atmosphere i'm sure most viewers will not be as enthralled by it and may find it generally off putting despite the minor flaws however this is one of the most underrated films of the it's so refreshing to get lucky and watch an unknown film that turns out to be good it seems as if this film was a direct to video release though this film is far better than that had it been put in theaters it wouldn't have won any awards nor would it have been seen much but it would have a lot more recognition than it has today recognition that this film deserves tough luck is an astounding entertaining and twisted neo noir thriller with a real sense of class and style and with enough substance to make the average more than simply satisfied,positive

the vampire has in my opinion actually proved its of such infamous there were many sub genre films last year from a of countries i've reviewed many and have a few more to discuss forgive my but since i've recognized the trend as a phenomenon which it is and features my favorite horror i'm going to now move outside of north america for a bit and introduce you to hopefully meaning films that you didn't see as of now br br of the many effects of twilight is the creation of guy and girl vampire movies i hate this sexist which has the effect of an entire generation of fans into sides i think men are prone to hate work and its to some degree because they feel some sense of betrayal that an which was always theirs is now women may be unlikely to enjoy future neutral since they grew up with expectations that were four times we need more directors to create vampire films which either gender is capable of enjoying if vampires are going to survive the and remain relevant cue this korean film was directed by park chan of fame there are two ways to it either it between gender expectations and is universally enjoyable or it is a mess that doesn't decide which target audience it prefers and should therefore be viewed by no one don't let me convince you that the film has no its director is a man whose fame is story driven action films its protagonist is male and has a passive aggressive interest in his lover more on this later still his desire for a woman he has known both before and after mortal life is not contrived and his attention is returned there is a male to this picture yet it is not so one sided that women could not enjoy it the same cannot be said of or new moon br br the plot follows an novel called which i have not read according to the novel is about an affair that develops between a married woman and a single man he kills her husband during a fishing trip and begins dating her the two of them are incapable of having sex because they picture the dead man's body between them they are thus driven to insanity but care for the woman's mother at the conclusion they try to kill each other discover each other's plans and commit suicide br br now this nearly 150 year old french novel into modern south korea and you've got chan doesn't the story enough to elevate this to must see he often ignores many of his own ideas in favor of following his inspiration i think the most memorable parts are when his are unhinged by narrative his use of the mother in law as the foil for their bad romance is just perfect see it br br the protagonist is originally a christian who becomes a vampire after a blood following his for a new medicine he thus becomes the god he once was smitten with people flock to him and view him as a grand ok that's really cool and could have provided a great basis for his relationship yet this idea is given little idea screen time as he changes into a realistic christ figure who tries to maintain his virtue even though his lifestyle demands that he it instead of confronting the people he instead blood out of hospital patients br br let's continue with the christian the woman tricks the vampire man into killing her husband her mother in law suffers a stroke and eventually warns friends of the family of her daughter in finger the man kills her but her the two of them invite former friends over and the woman begins mercilessly the humans the man says enough is enough and decides to drive to a beach and forces her into waiting for sunrise with him they both die but he for her crimes and his own but the film portrays her evil more br br the woman character is a caricature and her profession offers an explanation for her behavior she is a housewife with no education while the man is a priest whose mortal life was their characteristics she becomes a monster like one would expect of someone without knowledge he becomes a with a spirit his life is how view themselves and her life is how religious people view those without divine,positive

the film made no sense to me whatsoever good actors favourite he was great in but that was made by a great italian director as opposed to the mediocre one who made this effort but awful rambling script terrible editing and a director who seemed to have no idea of what he was trying to say and ended up saying exactly nothing load of rubbish but the sort of film that certain whom it was my misfortune to have known in the dim and distant past would have loved it and unfortunately italy has no on these they can be found everywhere and probably acclaim this as a great masterpiece i never thought much of as director i remember seeing his first film in the pocket or some such title in rome when it was first shown close on 50 years ago i was living the time all the usual about it but it left me pretty cold i didn't think he was much of a director then and still don't age has certainly not improved him and this film must rank as one of his worst,negative
early coppola with sublime cast that most folks never got to see a pity there's some wonderful things going on in this one shirley best performance an underrated actress a road trip in the late 1960's james very restrained and moving robert duvall in a part he was born to play edgy lonely motorcycle cop and a touching script with f coppola behind the wheel br br if this had been made five years later by some nobody it would have been a smash so much for timing anyway i recommend this to all people who don't need outer space explosions and bad mother in law jokes or a billion dollar budget to sit for a few hours and watch a story unfold give this one a chance if you can find it,positive

like a lot of films from the early sounds days must be viewed more for historical interest than as compelling entertainment the hammy acting of lead richard nominated for best actor can be as a of the silent film school of acting however even giving benefits of the doubt is a badly shaped piece of drama a film that moves from unrelated sequence to unrelated sequence with little dramatic impact the film is two hours and four minutes it feels like four hours when you're watching it there is no reason to waste your time on it unless you want to see every best picture winner or have a keen interest in the early sound days in my opinion is the worst choice for best picture in academy history and the award should have gone to city lights or little is barely remembered today and would have be remembered at all if not for its oscar win,negative
radio is a true story about a man who did what he felt in his heart was the right thing to do the viewer will be compelled to wonder what he or she would have done the that coach jones and radio both faced was both tragic and predictable people did not understand nor did they want to understand but in the end the power of forced people to understand and appreciate so much more than they did before it happened radio is a mentally challenged youth who understands very little besides three of the most important things the are too often forgotten as we mature compassion and love coach jones is a high school teacher who cannot ignore the plight of the underdog who is just trying to play a bad hand of cards in the best way that he knows how it was sad the way coach jones and radio met the practical joke that terrified the life out of radio was enough to make you want to severely not only the boys involved but every boy who knew what was going on and did nothing about it however on the positive side of the scale the incident led to a friendship that would influence so many lives in the kind of way that most of us believe only happens in the movies this movie is a real life fairy tale and not to be missed ed harris was his usual brilliance gooding was flawless radio is an inspiration,positive

the next karate kid is a thoroughly predictable movie just like its predecessors its predictability often results in a feeling of on the viewer's part who often wishes the story could move a little faster despite its and its extreme however this fourth entry in the series is almost exclusively because of the presence of he doesn't seem tired of his role and he does some life and humor into the film becoming the best reason for you to see it not awful but nothing much either,negative

the feature length cgi movie has just been released this year but whilst it will provide kids a lot of entertainment for die hard alvin fanatics and followers who grew up with the 60s and 80s versions of the cartoon shows the adventure is probably the best alvin and the based animated movie ever br br for starters the animation is as ever terrific the character designs are as they should be in the cartoons unlike the motion picture film itself it is just sheer fun to watch there are no voices no cgi generated effects just pure quality 2 d hand drawn animation and the colours are fantastic bright bold and beautiful the jokes and humour is typical standard and the narrative is spot on in truth the adventure is everything the live action movie ought to have been but isn't alvin simon and theodore compete with the and britney in a hot air balloon contest and along the way the kids encounter all manner of problems and that they have to resolve in their own way and no movie is complete without the odd of classic rock and pop br br the adventure is for kids and adults alike which is another advantage over the cgi movie as whereas the 2007 version will gain a few new the 1987 movie will appeal to both young and older fans and provide the like voices of the film's trio br br overall this film is a must for fans of the cartoon shows themselves you will not be left disappointed if you have seen the live action version then you'll feel that this movie is a much better effort in contrast if you haven't then you should go and see it still or even still forget the jason lee movie and as an alternative stick with this,positive
this movie was an absolute waste of time it's nothing but a wanna be gangster movie it contains a very predictable plot my feelings are unsympathetic to the characters and the dialogue is mediocre at best half the time you are looking for something else to do because the movie is that boring since you already know what's going to happen the other half of the time you're desperately hoping the protagonist grows a pair of balls or just ends his life by jumping off a bridge or something also the secondary characters are for the most part one dimensional there's no depth to any of the characters in this movie no depth,negative
in out made me want to vomit i have never seen such a shameless film it seriously wanted to say that being gay is something wonderful and but has no idea how to say it to me this was not a comedy unless cruel sick jokes are something to laugh at when a victim falls for it br br from what i saw this film had four 4 major flaws starting with a matt character as he to the world that is former teacher howard kevin kline is gay never mind how unbelievable it is that matt character won an oscar for what looked like a serious role on the edge of a crack up but why would he say such a thing after all this was never an issue with students his friends family nor his nobody so why would he say something like it when it wasn't true more to the point why doesn't the movie supply us with an answer as to why he said it the reason is because there is no answer and for the of the plot none is provided the second b flaw is with the fact the film seems to have forgotten what homosexuality is the attraction and sexual relation to members of the same sex in this movie being gay is based on liking barbara streisand musicals and being passionate about literature it's all based on stereotypes br br both of these flaws are met up again at that must be seen to be believed ceremony matt finds out about the going on in that small town and the film looks to let us know what made him say such a thing when he arrives to the ceremony he says nothing and i wondered why in the world he then came there at all he didn't solve anything then when all of the audience stood to they were gay i was so moved i wanted to throw up those folks were standing up in defense of howard being gay by mocking all of those stereotypes what the film forgot is that it was using those stereotypes to show why howard was gay they filmmakers just shot themselves in the foot but wait there's more br br during the ceremony c howard appeared to be on trial to lose is job as a teacher because people believed that he would influence his students to be gay what the film was trying to say is that never and that he wouldn't influence his students but did we not see tom character endlessly pressure howard over and over again even to the point of kissing him unexpectedly to come out of the closet when in my mind there was no closet to come out of from that the film clearly show that homosexual are capable of the film again then shoots itself in the foot br br and d when howard came out of the closet did anyone not notice how the screenplay shut him up for the rest of the film i counted only three lines he had afterwards to his parents hi there to a student and are you ready to tom before the last scene i might be low by one but the point is he is not allowed to tell us what made him decide he was gay i wanted to know what was in his head because i never for once believed he was gay br br as the movie also includes several truly offensive scenes one in which howard is asking a priest in confession for advice about what to do for a friend him who is engaged and has not yet had sex with his does that make him gay he asks the priest oh yes he's definitely gay uh huh or what about the scene when all the old ladies are gathered around telling mother that she doesn't need to be sad about her son's deep dark secret because well everyone has them then one the ladies that she's never seen the bridges of madison county funny no the film shows that it is and has no idea how it can be to family to have one of its members announced that he she is gay i know i have several friends that are gay and none of their families took it well at all that was a poor way to the whole situation br br the last straw for me was the last scene that gave they that tom and kevin were getting married the camera down very slowly to the front of the church when it wasn't what you thought i had been thoroughly disgusted by that point and i never could forgive that sick joke i have nothing against films about being gay or homosexuality philadelphia and longtime companion were very honest and true in what they had to say in out is just screaming for political correctness but has no idea of the corruption at its core what i gathered from the film is that if you are 99 straight and 1 gay meaning if you have the doubt you are definitely gay it's like is becoming a in in reality if everyone told you over and over that you were worthless and stupid you would eventually believe it too wouldn't you this is what happened to howard about being gay i left the theater sad and angry angry the whole weekend in fact this was a seriously sick and cruel film the worst of 1997,negative
post murder did some good roles in films but other director just made use of his kissing and naughty image br br is one of them and it came after in a row and i was already fed up of him and such roles br br the film has a nice twist at the start i felt like an film but then it turns into a routine film with sudden love sudden jealousy and a bad climax br br makes a terrible film music is saving grace camera work is fabulous br br just repeats his act of his earlier films and has 2 expressions throughout looks stiff talks as if he is practicing hindi and does okay in some scenes is and,negative
great little short film that aired a while ago on here in get a copy if you can probably only good for a few viewings as you'll end up remembering the script and it's the twists that make this film so funny well directed and scripted it's an example of just how good low budget short films can be,positive

adapted from sam play this movie many play like elements such as a relatively fixed setting a 50's motel in the and extensive intriguing dialogues a woman may is by a man eddie played by sam shepard she tries to hide from him in the out of the way motel but he finds her the film explores the history of their relationship mainly from their that has led them to this point it's very easy to feel sympathy for the characters and to understand that their dysfunctional present relationship is a result of past events out of their control we mainly watch them fight make up fight make up and so on one image that stands out in my mind is of eddie may over his shoulder kicking and screaming taking her somewhere she doesn't want to go br br the soundtrack is also perfect country with by a lesser known artist sandy rogers she has this country doll voice that almost at some points in the album this is the kind of movie that will stay in some part of your brain soul in other words go see it,positive
intelligent nail biting drama came out of nowhere in 1979 and soon was on the cover of every newspaper in america when life the film a nuclear power plant employee in southern california is threatened by superiors when he decides to go public with the real story behind an accident at the plant ostensibly a stuck problem a tv news film shows that it was an accident on disastrous proportions and worse that safety conditions are being to save millions of dollars a cover up that everyone's lives the movie occasionally gets too technical especially in the second half and could use more human interplay however the performances by jack lemmon jane fonda as a piece news woman in the right place at the right time and michael douglas as a cameraman are superb the throwaway bits involving nuclear is both entirely accurate and satirical and the news with its corporate structure and vapid yes men is vividly captured 1 2 from,positive
with a catchy title like the butcher of this ed variation and kane playing him will no doubt fly off the shelves for a couple of weeks most viewers will be bored silly with this latest take on the life of ed br br the movie focuses on rampage and gives us a few glimpses into his and in its these scenes that give the movie a much needed br br what ruins this is the constant focus on other characters lives and focuses less on big mistake here br br kane is a strange choice to play but he does pull it off quite well and deserves more acting credits than he gets these days barnes and also show up br br 3 10,negative
this movie is crappy beyond any limits it's incredible a very bad ripoff from jaws and other better shark movies a really bad one everything is really pathetic the story is crap actors are bad effects very cheap no creativity whatsoever it looks like some really children took jaws script and arranged it randomly then its parents took their 8 camera and shot the movie with their neighbors the music is really inappropriate just some elevator music bland and overly optimistic when nothing happens then slightly less optimistic when shark is around or when children gets depressed again to very loud elevator music maria the author should be so ashamed he should ask for his name to be from the titles the movie acts as perfect how crappy music will destroy any scene which is supposed to be thrilling there is one major difference to jaws though in the beginning of jaws there are comments about stupid people who try to kill shark with dynamite well there is an attempt to kill a shark with dynamite when this does not work guys take an big load of dynamite and spent like 1 4 of movie by placing in some ship this is really original way to catch the fish i have to admit they use so much dynamite like they would try to kill a i would guess class of or to dig another channel this is just incredible i'm glad they did not try to use or nuclear strike to eliminate this bad bad approximately 2 m shark well there is disappearing native indian who looks like german too in this mess this is not a movie this is a warning example how bad the movies may be as a warning it is useful but the public should be from this crap most of italian movies is bad but this this is really exceptional in the worst sense of the word,negative
if you're into alternate realities what's real and what's just a fantasy this is an edge of your seat thriller that'll keep you guessing and really make you think try to get a copy of it and see for yourself i watched it at an l a film festival recently and it was by far the best one in the group that i saw it helped that it was actually about something unlike the others that were screened it's very well directed and the production value is top notch i would compare it to ladder in that it keeps you guessing as to what the true reality is of the world that we're in you should definitely try to hunt this film down and if it's screening at any festivals near you try to check it out,positive
i'm sorry but i just honestly cannot see why anyone would actually like this it's stereotypical and real are nothing like they were on this show personally i'm glad it got canceled after the first few episodes i mean this kind of show would certainly be alright if everyone knew that weren't really like this and the whole story was just for the show but unfortunately not everyone is aware of this if anyone out there that watched this actually believed this is what goes on in the life of a then i honestly feel sorry for them this reminds me of the kind of portrayal they have of kids in mean girls it's sad really that people think this way this is complete garbage imho,negative
being a fan of bela lugosi boris karloff and jr i had to see this what tripe the only thing good about this is the clips of lugosi karloff and jr along with all the vintage clips that do not with the new black and white footage not even close to steve dead men don't wear that was done great with all the technology we have now why this done better if you are planning to shell out 5 bucks and some change be warned this is really bad but if you like lugosi karloff and jr then watch their movies instead even ed wood did better then this one new actor mark is pretty good as an imitation bela lugosi the clips they use are the ape mr wong most dangerous game lost world man and devil bat that notorious bela lugosi classic i believe this production was very low budget and it shows 1 out of 10,negative
i was on a mission to watch uwe boll movies to see if they were really as bad as all that the first one i saw was not a complete loss i liked it more than most people and actually rated it a 4 out of 10 next up was the first house of the dead movie now that was bad i could stand watching ten minutes of it and fast a bit and that was it i could see where it was going and i didn't need to see any more of it in order to rate it a just 1 out of 10 br br but i had access to the sequel too which however is not by uwe boll but mysteriously written by the same guys who so wrote the first one and since it got a higher rating at imdb than the original i thought i'd give it a chance and i actually managed to watch all of it it started out with some funny references and cool lines like how the president got his orders from the vice president and acting wise it is light years better than the first here we have cool like the ultra hot whose is in league with carrie anne moss black and man i hope some matrix style movie comes along for her sometime and the always super victoria i love athletic women and there was also on my name is earl who performed quite well br br the story wasn't much and the action wasn't great either and the ending was a disappointment as they didn't succeed in their mission oh well at least the two survived guess that's some small victory too br br good cast but a pretty bad movie the actors make it watchable but there's no real substance there br br 3 out of 10,negative
the end of as it should appeal to general citizens mass alike is likely to become of cultural status the film uses super cynical analysis by authors policy makers and social on the created by suburban style living mainly in the post war era br br what we have created in america is a place with none of the of country life and none of the of urban city life this is the that is laid out for and the film on the idea of oil basically in the most general sense that the world is or at it's peak oil production and when we realize this in full major lifestyle changes will be in effect whether by our best interest or forced violently upon us by a quality of living even the of couldn't describe to us br br if nothing more the end of will the viewer in their gut creating a sickening feeling this is bound to happen it's a bleak on our inherent way of life the lies particularly in each respective viewers critical analysis of the film i many viewers the film as smug liberal propaganda like a moore film what they fail to consider is that a reaction like this is all too normal when such a message hits so unbelievably hard to the lifestyle of the vast majority of the masses br br this is the truth and as a student studying city planning i can tell you that we better get prepared now because what slim chance we have of maintaining quality of life in this of resources is faster than a race of people stricken by the black plague,positive
when you have waited years to see a film that you have heard on the about obviously your expectations are high right f k yeah but when this baby dropped through my door little did i know what f ed up visuals would grace my tv and my fragile mind first off is a film fan like all of us growing up on a of fulci lynch etc and it shows in this film but in a good way although i didn't really know what the hell was going on on my first watch of this gem i was just amazed by the visuals the lighting and of course the performances from everyone who was involved must have truly believed that he was going to push the boundaries in film making which trust me he does and that he was going to have a hard job convincing the actors to do the same br br so what can i tell you about cruelty well without spoiling it its a deep insight into the human psyche with images of violent and sexual madness which into madness a truly unforgettable experience br br keep you eye on he can only go onto better things br br i viewed the full uncut print of cruelty on a double disc dvd from films which is loaded with extras please note there is a hong kong release out there avoid this version,positive
this in my opinion is a very poor movie that arnold as starring despite him being the co star only to sell more copies obviously taking influence from the similarly themed movies this film fails to prove as enjoyable and eventually fails to entertain at all br br stars as a beautiful woman who has been given unbelievable strength by a ghostly figure after her village was her family killed and she herself raped by the soldiers of queen bergman is a queen who wants control over the world and seeks out a by sister to do it after discovering what has happened sets out for revenge and at the same time she must save the world from the wrath of the master of the sets out to protect her whether she wants him there or not br br the first major problem with this movie is the beginning the events leading up to the point where receives her powers could have easily made a good ten to fifteen minutes of enjoyable film however the are rushed into what seems like a quick one minute previously ' segment from a television show had they actually made these events part of the story and cut out some of the filler later on they may have been able to start redeeming this movie but unfortunately they didn't i wonder why director richard has only currently directed two movies since red br br this film also features some of the most annoying characters in history like ernie jr who is a stupid character and just adds an over abundance of camp to the movie which sometimes works but in this case fails miserably he was quite obviously written into the movie for some comic relief but with the overall absurdity of the film anyway this was another mistake for br br for all it's faults there were some good fight scenes involving both and arnie which are worth noting but these are nowhere enough to save this turkey the acting is about as good as it gets for movies of this quality and even arnie didn't seem too bothered about his performance i don't recommend this film at all to me it's a waste of an hour and a half my rating for – 3 10,negative
to start this movie was sick here your wife is dying and you go around town with this blond by your side then your wife dies and within 2 months you are together with this hank james is definitely moving fast throughout this movie i called him fast hank fast hank marries this beautiful lady and before you know it she is having sex with his best friends the part that gets me is when she is doing it in the with kevin and gets caught by another one of hanks friends kevin gets up and leaves she drops her and right into the arms of this other guy and they start doing it right then and there i guess he is finishing up what kevin started how gross i am like this is lifetime movie its a typical old man young woman movie that says you can have my body if i get your money,negative

being a huge fan of the bottom series i was really looking forward to the release of this film i was eagerly a laugh a minute roller coaster ride alas br br where to start on this mess i think its a good start to say that its hardly and eddie on our screens in the first place as none of the jokes and one liners they usually deliver so well are funny i was still waiting for the first laugh after a good 20 minutes of viewing many aspects of the story were pathetic and it was as if the film was full of those bad moments they and decided to leave out of the final cut br br the overall sets and atmosphere surrounding the film is dark and which i suppose is good if they want to portray the guest house the 2 attempt to run but to me its just puts an even higher on a sorry state of filming that should never have been created br br the acting at times is pathetic is wasted as the loony mrs and i've seen simon pegg have much better br br i'd recommend guest house to anybody who is blind drunk because they might appreciate the terrible much more but to any bottom fan who hasn't seen this film and is expecting true and eddie action you have been warned,negative
the films use of blue black and vibrant skin tones to create a noir ish feel to this movie unfortunately do not work in fact its quite irritating as it the demon characters and them to one dimensional beings br br at least the original had an hysterical energy and the gore set pieces were quite stunning black gore is hardly frightening nor is the main female demon at all frightening in her attempts to and at the screen in her best camp lugosi style br br the narrative is grossly disjointed and if you could imagine directed by russ meyer you may appreciate the attempt to be william otherwise give this film a wide and fans once again are disappointed,negative
as an ex i was really interested in this movie i personally have been involved in a search on leaving where one person was found we managed to get him though as we were in limits on another ship i was on the was found and we could not land him anywhere due to issues in fact he stayed on for a year as an almost crew member and worked for his keep africa is notorious for there is a great scene in the beginning of the film when the bulk enters the african her size all the crew pop for a little and so far normal the drama starts when the enter the vast holds of the ship is brilliant as the captain with a drink problem being by his nemesis right on form as the representative on board the search is classic but we did not have guns i question the use of guns in this film this ship seemed to have a vast in my experience guns at sea are severely due to customs also having a dog on board was odd anti laws especially in europe carrying of animal severely anyway pertwee is brilliant as the mate the horror which follows the discovery of the victims is unbearable the grim background of the ships holds and a feeling that there is no where to hide adds to the drama some of the crew are not into the murder and those who get involved are gradually sucked in to a world of violence from which there is no escape the chase through the ship especially the engine room scenes are edge on the seat the feeling of extreme the feeling of metal in and death being only a gun barrel away the film is brutal my girlfriend had to give up watching it during the shooting and beating scenes while this goes on in the comfort of his well cabin gets drunk unaware of the mayhem 3 below its a tense film flawed in parts but the real message is that we can all get sucked into violence like this slowly and surely think of the train drivers who took jews to the who worked out those train i always remember someone who had visited concentration camp at the end of the war and he said that one of the s s guards had put a bird table outside the camp this film is like that ordinary people suddenly finding themselves in a world of violence,positive
from today's point of view it is quite ridiculous to rate this film 18 or x in the us the film has a sexual yet sublime erotic story to tell but the pictures are rather innocent throughout the movie you feel and see the spirit of the late 60s and early 70s in the fashion the dialogues and the typical experimental cinematography and lighting and this is exactly the part that makes it worth seeing,positive
i remember the trailer for this weak spin off of conan i saw the movie years later and laughed my head off unintentionally poor her career never had a chance thanks to and red the plot of the movie is this from a tribe of female warriors who were killed off by an evil queen bergman queen steals the the female warriors were protecting and uses it to destroy each town she passes by goes on a hunt for queen and later finds out that killed her parents on her quest she reluctantly joins arnold an arrogant prince named ernie jr and his bumbling idiotic servant paul l smith together they go on a hunt for queen and the the acting is sub par and the action scenes are i mean looks so emotionally distant for someone who lost her whole family as well as her female doesn't look at all arnold is playing his usual stoic role and ernie jr what an annoying brat he was in this movie the moronic had more personality than these guys the action scenes are the only redeeming moments of the movie even though sometimes they fall flat the scene where they fight the mechanical sea creature made me laugh till my the dialog is a hoot also its as if the screenwriter thought that nobody was going to take the movie seriously so he gave everybody stupid lines to work with i can only recommend this movie to you if you like your epic movies extra campy anyone else don't bother,negative
this is an exceptional picture with so much to recommend it the acting and writing are terrific and there are lots of great twists and turns in the plot as a french noir film its language is certainly a lot than its american counterparts but to me this just added to the realism additionally i liked how non glamorous everyone was particularly the husband and the lieutenant about the only negative and the reason the film gets a 9 and not a 10 is because there was a glaring plot hole like another famous french film de the confusion between the cops and the accused could easily have been settled in the beginning but the characters made rather stupid decisions for this you just need to suspend disbelief and keep watching the payoff is well worth the wait br br this is simply one of the finest french films i have seen period,positive
with so many horrible spoof movies this is sadly a breath of fresh air to the genre compared to classics like airplane or the naked gun this is awful but compared to recent spoof movies like meet the and disaster movie this is very clever and original don't get me wrong though this was not a good movie in any way i laughed a few times and there are a few inspired gags but any pop culture reference falls flat on it's face as does most jokes in the movie br br fields david was a bad coach in the past but now he's brought back to teach college football and this time he'll do a good job his wife is feeling distant from him and his daughter is dating a football big shot to spite her father spoofs of various recent movies come into play as do a lot of sight gags and stupidity br br the best parts of the movie are the gags not relying on reference to recent movies spoofs of radio rocky friday night lights and many other sports movies are not funny in the least it's mainly the smaller gags that get a few laughs like a bizarre scratching scene or a chewing spitting joke these little throwaway cannot carry the movie and by the end it's hard to watch the last 20 minutes are to sit through br br the characters are surprisingly developed for a sports spoof movie however i'm sure the characters were built on clichés from the genre nonetheless they're not too bad david can pull lead actor in a movie off too bad they gave him so much crummy material to work with matthew has fine comedic timing in a not always so comedic role as a ballet dancing football player with a cross dressing father carl rounds off the cast once again playing in a sub par sports movie not the rocky movies happy overall this is a goofy comedy at times it's funny but more often than not it's just very annoying and predictable br br my rating 1 2 out of 90 mins pg 13 for language sexual humor and drug humor,negative
now for sure this is one of the hearted stories that bruce willis has been in to date and yet it is still touching i really like style and persona i haven't loved everything he has ever been in but he brings it to the for me in most all his film br br the story begins he is power confidence and style with a he drives a he lives well in a estate with a grand view of the fair city that's russell he is an image to those who are on the top or rising to it his acclaim he is russell he knows what it takes to make it it just seems that as life is going along and foundation ally set there is a problem an intruder at his home the alarm has been br br russell can't seem to figure out for the moment what is happening to him it's different and yet it is somehow familiar a small boy who looks exactly like him as their lives run into each other there seems to be a reason that is screaming out to him you have unfinished business to take care of now br br amy the supporting young lady of the story is probably the best balance that he has seen and has in his life she works with him puts up with his and yet she is smitten with russell very much so with rusty his past now in the picture and talking a mile a minute singing too late at night everything that was is becoming like br br willis is fun and at times out of his head in this lovable disney modern times classic 'the and to add his little heavy duty side kick spencer is a perfect addition to this story of childhood to adult and back to childhood adventure is an inspirational supporting character as he is the heavy weight teaching rusty how to box to defend himself against the bullies on the br br all in all this is a real winner of a movie with even as the secretary and to russell i originally saw this back in and then again years later with equal enjoyment this is a shiny family comedy that has a super ending that will warm the hearts of any disney fan recommended highly,positive
i had never heard of this movie but i like heath ledger and bryan brown and the story sounded interesting so i figured i'd give it a shot i found it to be very enjoyable heath ledger plays a 19 year old who works a kind of crappy job and wants to start making some serious so he goes and asks for work from mobster bryan brown i won't go into details but things go very bad for ledger and gets into big trouble with bryan brown from their on the movie just gets better and better with one scene involving ledger up with a pair of bank robbers and lets not forget the beautiful rose who plays love interest i would definitely recommend this movie,positive

wow at first i thought who writes these things how hard is that choice between a man who offers you and your children wealth and security as opposed to a husband who offers you only abuse and poverty however our choices are not always as clear cut cut as one would think indeed the wealthy gentleman was all a woman could to and yet the pull of her husband her sexual desire for him was almost overwhelming what to do what to do as a viewer you became as confused and as she was anyway what i really came on this site to about was my admiration of the voice of the i thought although it is actually the voice of an irish singer in the film looking him up i find he is whom i had never heard of before that day what a find i am so grateful wow what a voice what a day thank you,positive

hunt for justice is a canadian television drama that has made it to dvd and that is reason for for those who for educational dramas that inform us about facts of current history that somehow get buried in the media the film is not a hollywood production it relies heavily on footage from court files but it also introduces to many of us the act of of louise in bringing about the trial of president br br louise veteran canadian actor wendy is a canadian judge by as the chief war crimes at the international criminal in the the film begins in 1996 when travels to the to face the political obstacles that are the to bringing to justice the war criminals in the war has been in and a war that has gross evidence of crimes against humanity in the form of camps and other the progress toward bringing the criminals to justice is by including one played by william hurt who fear a major world war if against same are upon with the keen help of her her staff including and the unexpected assistance from british capt john john corbett ahead focusing the impossible task of bringing all responsible parties to justice on three specific events two of the three top suspects are captured but during their trials each meets his end this leaves only himself and and her colleagues are successful in bringing the war criminal to justice in 1999 br br there are several touching side plots employed in the telling of this well documented tale stories that make the point in history more personal some may find the film footage of corpses and prisoners and death camps too strong to watch but they are necessary to bring home the purpose of the film wendy carries the power to drive the message home the message that war crimes must never go there is much current history to be learned from this film writers ian adams adams and m a have the information and made it dramatic as well director charles the with the story progress never forgetting that he has a tale of intrigue to tell as well hunt for justice is worth watching grady,positive
start with the premise that you will do anything to replace your lost love with a look alike throw in your scientific knowledge of a disease isn't this the stuff that leo g from the spider in throw in the fact that the main character instead of finding some way to attract the young woman in heavy handed stalking until he totally draws attention to himself and has to this insane plot if he can make the girl's father sick then help him recover she will marry him the problem is that most of the events are random and unpredictable anyone with half a brain would have seen through things there's a third party a woman that the doctor played by j has treated with great you know she is going to be a factor there's also a gorilla kept in a cage who is used occasionally for heaven what oh well there is so little sense to this who thing that it plays itself out and people get their just,negative
this movie should have ended as soon as the joke about kids is told in the opening i liked robin harris and most of his comedy but the really funny routines were not meant to be something the whole family could go see it to taking the point of one of jerry jokes and attempting to squeeze the joke for as long as you can in order to turn it into a movie this movie had to be self serving because i can not find anyone who found the settings or antics familiar whats most funny about this movie is the of the writers and producers to pass it off as something of value 1 10 stars because there is no half star,negative
jesus christ what the hell happened here this is one of the most boring movies i have ever seen how is it possible that they screwed up such a nice idea for a movie to tell you the truth i was so hyped for this i though it was like blair witch but with actual alien creatures chasing the camera guy it i have been reduced to fast this pile of sh t and i never do that while seeing movies the high rating here on imdb makes me believe that actual aliens are giving for this piece of crap br br invasion is about well an invasion the movie starts by saying that everything you're about to see is real then they go and tell me about a special camera system used in cars as if i need to believe their t to enjoy this movie next thing you know i'm seeing the most boring car driving ever filmed in a forest at night mind you is this a movie or a disney theme park ride the first 20 minutes is all boring dialog between cops while seeing grass and one straight road with a where the hell were the aliens they were sleeping of course then we learn that bad acting is not only reduced to high school plays as the cop behind the camera goes out of his car to look for a missing man who was and had stumbled upon a mysterious i wonder what happens to him out of nowhere we see the guy walking like a zombie the cop is apparently too dumb to notice that something is wrong with this man apparently he was indeed dumb as the zombie alien guy in the ear some sort of alien thus changing him into an alien then the cop alien goes back into his car looks for a young couple that were having sex a while back in the forest gets to them changes the guy into an alien and then the girl runs to the car and escapes if this quick plot introduction didn't get it in your head that this movie was bad then the following 40 minutes will watching this movie is as painful as stabbing yourself repeatedly with a plastic the script while it may sound interesting on the back of the dvd box is badly directed and sadly we are left with another boring straight to dvd atrocity br br the only thing that kept me awake were the constant flashing and loud sound effects if seeing the same forest trail for minutes is not enough we must endure crappy flashing techniques to scare the viewer and constant of a bad actress that gets old and annoying pretty quick br br if you feel you must rent this i say to you why there are better scifi horror films out there even the remake of the invasion of the body is more entertaining than this for the love of all things good don't bother with his crap my eyes and for the first time i wanted suicide a 1 10 avoid this like a disease,negative

my reaction to this remake of the italian job is probably hopelessly mixed up with the events occurring in my life when i saw it this is the first movie i saw after i had just landed a job after 8 months of and going back to school for money was still tight but i no longer had to choose between seeing a movie in the theaters and paying bills or eating lunch and the sense of relief and i was feeling at the time was enormous in consequence my enjoyment of italian job was probably far out of to its actual worth br br still i picked it up used on dvd a few weeks ago and watched it again and i still enjoyed it immensely i have never seen the original though i have heard it is an absolute classic but its modern day counterpart is watchable if you have a taste for modern day production values applied to older films plots and themes br br what initially won me over to this movie was the soundtrack imo don davis writes some of the most and pleasing around opens with a sly witty that combines strings guitar brush work and quiet moments it won me over completely from the opening seconds and the whole movie is like this i haven't heard this kind of soundtrack music since stewart left the police and started doing for movies like fish there are at least a dozen scored in here along with some pop song remakes that range from all right to inspired for people to whom the soundtrack is important this movie is a delight br br on to the movie i can take or leave mark but he's okay here as the leading man and the movie doesn't ask him to do anything he can't do well he's the weakest major actor in the film but that's because the rest of supporting cast is so strong especially donald sutherland in a bit part jason ed norton seth green and all turn in solid fat free performances norton seems to mostly be it in has it that he didn't really want to be in the film but he's still a natural even at 1 2 power my one with the casting and acting is with the character who seems to be a male model pretending to be an actor his part seems to be into the movie and he has little chemistry with the rest of the cast although you can blame some of that on the size of the part and the late walk on nature of the character if i were a cynical sort i would wonder who the actor slept with to get put into this movie in such a role never happen br br production values camera work stunts plot everything along quite nicely and gray and his production crew pull things together pretty with the exception of the character see above br br the dialog has a nice light touch that your and there are several satisfying major and minor plot along the way my favorite moment when character tells character that he's just lost the element of surprise proceeds to cold norton with a right cross and then asks him were you surprised hmmm maybe you had to be there br br of course the movie requires a certain level of suspension of disbelief to work but if you just relax and go along with it and don't think too hard about the of cracking a safe underwater or the of anyone being able to successfully hack and manipulate la traffic via a etc you'll have a fun ride br br the italian job it's lightweight summer fluff but it's very good for what it is and it doesn't try to be anything else it isn't good enough for an 8 but i'd give it a 7 5,positive
not only does this movie have a great title but quite simply is the greatest drama i have ever watched the viewer is drawn into the movie involving 5 young men working together to try and overcome odds sean as billy is brilliant along with great supporting roles from t e russell and shawn the and of and characters makes the movie so much better as time goes on the movie keeps gathering momentum and its a that none of the young actors made a name for themselves in the film industry after this wonderful movie,positive
even for sci fi this movie is movie is a little out there alright more than a little my first thought after watching it was that i had just lost my mind br br don't watch this movie expecting another fans are never going to like another richard kelly movie because of their freaky cult standards is a thing of the past get over it br br richard kelly loves making movies that make you feel stupid for not understanding the the first time you watch them to be honest i had to watch the box twice before i liked it br br the deeper meaning to spare you a bunch of psycho humans are self serving we make decisions that can destroy our lives and don't open mail without a return address br br summary creepy old man tells diaz if you push the button i will kill someone you don't know and give you a million bucks of course she pushes it and as promised by the creepy old gets a case of money then the movie takes a dive into the unusual to spare my fingers the for pushing the button diaz and her husband are cursed by supernatural alien beings in an elaborate experiment to gage the morality of the human race br br i liked the of the movie to ignore the generic movie its different its intense it has a deeper meaning although its philosophy 101 material it leaves you guessing not a hollywood ending br br i disliked why would any being with the technology to another life form such a ridiculous scheme what god like alien has the patience for that diaz was good but was there a need for the country accent they live in virginia br br i give it a 7 because kelly didn't put as much attention to detail as with his other movies overall good flick,positive

house of the dead 2 dead aim 2005 is the sequel though you really don't need to see the first house of the dead to get this film that said the production value is definitely here with great zombie effects and it's edited quite nicely with very effective sound design however that said that's about all that's good here br br the story and script are awful there's blatant plot holes everywhere it's also funny how the soldiers don't mind if they get blood on their faces unlike in 28 days later where blood in any part of the body will you also realistic how there's little order with the soldiers here unlike the usual us military discipline br br a 4 out of 10,negative
the synopsis of this movie led me to believe that it would be a story of an unconventional woman challenging the conventions of the society in with she lives i like strong female characters and expected a movie much along the lines of with a less fairy tale and more bite what i got was a cast of despicable characters br br for a character driven movie to be effective i need to feel a connection or compassion for the people there was no one with whom i could relate in the movie whose work i admired in rain man portrays a mentally ill probably female that is often rude aggressive and violent her husband and yells when he is not hitting or someone the children are rude they yell at each other and the females in the movie they attack other children with no violence violence this seems to be an island of aggressive violent and rude people all the way around br br the direction is not compelling there are scenes that attempt to be art but instead bore the viewer the location is exceptionally gorgeous but even that fails to be captured to the degree that it could be on film br br i would have to recommend that you stay away from this failure of a movie,negative
i am completely into this type of story line but once the movie fired up i honestly said out loud i just rented a two dollar budget christian the only thing i could find to like about this film was it has a descent story but it was awfully executed horrible actors horrible direction and producing br br the director and producer need to go watch the cube before trying to pull off a movie in a single room there was absolutely nothing that kept you intrigued to the point that you didn't notice you were in the same room the entire movie horrible the two main actresses were very easy on the eyes and you could tell that was the director counting on to hold your attention but these two and their can speak to this are horrible in front of the camera br br don't rent this unless you are blind because it might go up a few stars if you only listen to it,negative
actually i'm still in doubt if there's anything about this movie i like as for the story unrealistic and very exaggerated the acting was too bad in my opinion not very likely that will get a status some folks will expect it anyway first let him work on his english if you watch the to paris of these actors dvd extra you will most likely want to up advice to beau stop your acting career you'll never get there to the 2 main grow up please being generous i'd give it 4 out of 10 br br,negative
while i hold its predecessor fast times at high as a standard to which other teen comedies should be compared the wild life is one of the better lesser known films from that time and a worthy sequel if you can call it that i believe its reads from the makers of something even faster this definitely holds true though it may lack the depth of the former which issues like first dates teen sex and the wild life is nonetheless a great flick it's pure chaotic fun especially due to chris over the top character thomas drake if was high on coke instead of he would be drake eric in his first major role is great as the straight laced bill conrad the two characters work well off one another think a younger odd couple complete with 80's outside of them there are so many other great things about this film worth mentioning has never looked especially during the scenes of her working at the shop jenny wright is just and fun to watch rick plays a great nerd who is dying to get in her pants thomas wrestler buddies are hysterical especially benny the little puerto guy who says some pretty memorable lines one in particular that he yells out during a night out at a strip club had me on the floor the first time i saw it that's saying something finally the movie ends with one of the best 80's party scenes on film ever look out for special appearances by ron wood of the rolling stones leo penn sean and chris dad and a random michael jackson look alike at the party throw in a score by none other than the man himself eddie van and you can't go wrong for van fans keep your ears open for that would be found on such albums as and for knowledge br br if anything the flow of the movie it is a small subplot involving randy quaid as a burned out vietnam vet it just seems out of place and unnecessary other than that it's near perfect if your a fan of mindless but fun 80's movies and have not yet seen this one you're in for something special rent it now br br p s the credits say cameron has a cameo as one of the cops in the film does he have his back turned during his scene because i have yet to find him someone please help me,positive

caution several spoilers br br someday somewhere there's going to be a post apocalyptic movie made that doesn't stink unfortunately the is not that movie though i have to give it credit for trying br br kevin plays somebody credited only as the he's not actually a just a with a in the of a western america by some catastrophe he with isolated by performing shakespeare suddenly a pack of called the the self of the west upon a village that visiting and their evil leader gen will after much misery and numerous efforts to break spirit he escapes thus ending a lengthy section of the movie that could have been told better in a three minute flashback br br we now finally get to the major premise the escaped finds an abandoned mail truck and delivers the letters to the nearest town hoping to get some food under of being a a number of the village people led by young ford want to get in on this act which does not sit well with and his and finds himself the and unwilling leader of a band of at war with the br br the idea of the versus the bad guys is not as ridiculous as it sounds the depend for their on the fact that the they prey on are isolated from one another the can destroy any one village but could not stand against all their victims united to the must communicate with one another and a working mail system would thus be a big step toward putting the out of business so it really makes a lot of sense that would get medieval on our heroic mail unfortunately eventual defeat is not the result of the against him but instead your old cliche the one on one between him and nor is there even any real attempt by the to use the mail to work together to solve their problems all the mail seems to be the standard hi aunt debbie stuff played for maximum sentimental value br br the is one of the most predictable movies shot for shot that i have ever seen now i don't try to ruin movies for myself by to figure out what's going to happen next but here we're talking about the kind of predictability that requires no effort i just knew what was going to happen next whether or not i wanted to know after a lion is eating people a seeking the escaped into the after a noise and we are then shocked when the lion eats him a bunch of villagers are rounded up and shot by a firing squad and one of the villagers sings out some famous last words right before being shot to my immense lack of surprise a covered statue is to show exactly what everyone knew was going to be there to pick up a letter from a kid we saw earlier in the movie a man tells that no sir you can't just take my wife runs the unsuspecting through though he is the only person in the theater who is unsuspecting br br but it is rank sentimentality that really the olivia williams playing lover is worst served she her heart into the material and gives her very best effort to make it sound natural and sincere she tries so hard it's heart breaking but nobody could ever have made the lines i have a gift for you you give out hope like it's candy in your pocket sound like anything but the that they are another example is the scene where a past a little boy ignoring his letter only to turn around stare at him for what seems like five minutes and then thunder back to pick up the letter why didn't just pick it up the first time no real reason it's just an that tries and fails to give us a feeling of by dashing the kid's hopes and then them br br and predictability at the end as the statue of the is revealed i sat thinking please don't tell me they're going to show the statue and then cut back to the scene with the kid surely that is too too obvious for even this movie then alas the music and we did indeed cut back to the little boy smiling as his letter to his maiden aunt is away and i held my head in my hands and thought somebody shoot me it felt like having thirty pounds of apple pie down my throat br br gen is a more villain than normal your standard issue post apocalyptic villain is the s o b in the valley is shown to be a little nothing of a man inside who tries to make himself feel important by beating up on others although some menace is thereby sacrificed is credible in a way most villains aren't unfortunately will overacts and although we are told early on that utterly destroyed his last in five seconds of hand to hand combat actual fighting skills shown at the end of the movie are absolutely ludicrous br br the acting is otherwise pretty good has done better but his was an as mentioned olivia williams is very impressive as ford does a sincere and credible job james score is competent though short of the epic standards the movie was going for but it's not enough to save this film br br rating 1 2 out of,negative
first of all let me say that i am in no way denying the importance of the subject quite the opposite i am polish and i have been aware of the massacre for quite a long time in fact two of my family members died there so i was looking forward to this film unfortunately i was disappointed br br i think the main problem lies with the script which too many subplots and characters none of which are properly developed the characters are painfully one dimensional their stories are but lack overall meaning in my opinion the cast doesn't really have a chance to show their ability the exception is portraying the only interesting character i wish the story was more focused on him br br as a result the film lacks emotion before seeing it i thought i would be moved if only for sentimental reasons but in fact i was watching it with an odd sense of throughout except for the final execution scene it is done well and its placing is interesting and provides a climactic ending although the idea of the being in by the executed officers seems a bit far fetched br br to conclude i suppose the film may have some educational value for those who are not familiar with the portrayed historical events but in my opinion it fails as a work of cinema,negative
in spite of its high minded ambitions film must be seen as a failure it's one thing to create a world which draws the viewer into feeling the tedium and angst experienced by the protagonist which i think is what was attempting it's another thing entirely to make a film that is itself tedious and episodic despite beautiful cinematography at a haunting location and a wonderful score the film never the audience in too much is unintentionally funny the phony sound of dripping water in quarters for example or the silent movie by some of the actors or simply confusing why exactly does want to leave the the first time for the film to succeed as a coherent work,negative
without a shadow of a doubt this is and probably will always be the worst film i have ever had the to see my whole life take 5 wooden actors who got thrown out of acting school because they were so wooden someone sat on them thinking they were a br br then add a cheap camcorder you know the old vhs types that cost on ebay add a terrible story line with no effects and yes you have this film what a shocker it was they couldn't even save it by having a fit girl in it she was fat and ugly and was the worst of all i actually watched it all as i could not believe this crap ever got br br miss at all costs,negative
about one step above an twins film there's a a surprise in store here except for how repulsive the depardieu looks walking around the beach without a shirt on this guy was supposed to be some sort of well whatever br br a great actress whose career over the last several years has displayed a lot of her potential as both a comedic and dramatic actress but this movie definitely didn't do anything to offer her a break out role her vapid character lacks any trace of personality or self spending her entire vacation on a cute boy that she thinks is the greatest guy in then world basically because he's a cute boy yet she can't be honest with him for two seconds ladies let me tell you something if a guy's really into you he's not going to off in a because you tried to pass your dad off as your boyfriend he may be a little confused about why you'd do something so silly contrived and um incestuous but in the end it's just going to be something you'll laugh together about br br the plot and dialogue hits every right on cue no originality and no wit but it's sweet and ben's cute so viewers who think titanic is the greatest movie ever made will of course say this movie is great because they won't notice that it doesn't have a brain in its head one star,negative

is by far my second favorite comedy of all time first being even though that was technically a drama story is nothing groundbreaking but the complications that are added to it make it awesome khan is a total cartoon just watch his expressions in the song he is amazingly good at comedy i never knew salman khan was also good as the somewhat of the two characters the noises he makes are almost as funny as faces and serve their purpose but are nothing amazing the real pick of the lot is as usual br br the plot is rather simple and salman are useless sons of poor fathers they don't believe in hard work and just want to get rich the easy way so both their brains come across an idea to woo a rich man's daughter who comes to india to look for a husband so and meet on the trip and join hands to drive off the hundreds of other men trying to marry this girl when they succeed they now have to get rid of each other somehow both of them get into house as an injured guy and as his doctor from here on they try to each other but things are complicated as friend kapoor falls for and him and rich man's evil twin brother also tries to get rid of the and her father so he will the money and sends in his two most trusted but bumbling fools to do the dirty work br br this is a movie you do not want to miss watch it it will be worth it i even own the dvd its that good and if you like this movie i'd also recommend if you haven't already watched it other good comedies are and new,positive
history teacher mrs seems to have it in for student leigh ann watson who has her heart on achieving a writing school she receives another low grade from which doesn't help when one of her classmates luke steals the paper of the final history and pops it in her bag mrs finds it sticking out she threatens the three that she will go to the principal about it but he's not available so before she reports it the next morning leigh her friend jo and scott head to her place that night and try to convince her not tell the principal however due to that find themselves to to stop this getting out br br wasn't fan of it when i first saw it and after another viewing i'm still not one writer kevin was on a roll after the successful contemporary teen horror films 1996 ' 'i know what you did last summer 1997 ' 2 1997 ' and 'the 1998 ' he was riding the success also not to forget the tv show creek but this project would be the final the difference there compared with this entry was other then writing the screenplay he was also making his debut in directing the strange thing though was that i found his direction to be competently done but material he up to and tired it seemed to get caught in playing both a black comedy and straight out thriller without making it the script is with quick wit on going gags trivial stretches and references towards other films but the problem is that it's too watered down with so many contrived developments and sappy moral the flow the script had to be more strong and potent since it's a small scale production that feels like you're watching a stage show because of its mostly confined sets it tries to play mind games with the characters but these moments are there to only serve the story's poor progression into a of stupidity and the film's ending takes the cake polished direction is sound but more so in a pedestrian way and therefore it lacks suspense and the pacing even with its taut surroundings can really on you eventually feel it after the halfway mark and it shows up how minor the story is the performances are tolerable enough although if it weren't for helen classy icy portrayal of manipulative as mrs and a marisa we would have been stuck watching a vapid to shoes katie holmes barry watson is modest in his part and molly has a lesser role the soundtrack packs enough energy but i found it terribly overwrought and in its choices br br watchable but mechanical all round,negative

wow what a cheesy movie this is it starts off looking like it's gonna be a backwoods slasher with the camera following dogs running through the woods it then gets a bit boring and follows the story of some girls moving into some house haunted by indian spirits we then get plenty of shots of one partially clad girl and another naked girl in the bath it suddenly gets really cheesy when the zombie indians from the earth and start the girls we even get a samurai indian br br this movie starts off pretty boring although i did find the story of the four indians who buried themselves alive quite interesting once the indian zombies or whatever you want to call them for they aren't technically zombies start the girls is when all the fun begins this is not a special flick and can't be taken seriously it's just something fun to watch when you're bored or when you're drinking with friends i can't help thinking though that it would have worked better as a short story because the first half is boring,negative

the first time i ever saw this movie was when i was four years old i remember loving it and everything about it 13 years later i am now 17 and decided to watch it about a month ago because i am taking a 1960's class in school i didn't really know what to expect since it had been 13 years since i last saw it but i was completely blown away by it the actors were amazing the music was so fun and i now find myself singing along to every song treat williams is great as the leader of the hippie group who always gets what he wants one way or another except for at the very end of course john savage is actually very convincing as claude the who falls in love with sheila beverly is lovely as the and proper rich girl who eventually rebels against her upbringing and joins the hippies the other hippies are played by annie golden don and wright annie golden is just adorable as the girl who is pregnant but still as cute and innocent as a child don and wright are good as and the other two members of the group and barnes who plays fiancée has an amazing voice br br the only problem i have with this movie however is that the relationship between claude and sheila is not very convincing they are barely ever shown together and when they are they fight remember the skinny scene it seems as though their relationship is very weak and by the end of the movie we are supposed to believe they are in love only based on the few they had i also see that many people writing reviews here are upset by the pg rating this movie has i personally would raise the rating up to a pg 13 only because there is some drug use but remember in 1979 pg 13 didn't exist i don't think the nudity is bad at all it is in no way sexual in fact there isn't really any sex at all in this movie and it is only to show the innocence that the group maintains in most european countries nudity isn't regarded as something bad and i don't see why it is here in the us anyways i give this movie a high rating and i'm glad it was made back then because in the insanely politically correct world of today they wouldn't even think of making it and even if they did it would be a very watered down version and i'm sure you wouldn't get the full effect br br in conclusion this is a very underrated film that is definitely worth checking out,positive
i saw this piece of pseudo intellectual crap a couple of years ago and it is now making a comeback at the local film club it uses every cliché in the intellectual movie makers edition in order to appear as intellectual as the director probably himself to be you get your run of the mill slow motion brown color scale slow pans through bombed out blank suffering facial expressions over symbolic imagery and the requisite miserable ending br br it is a complete failure an unintentional perfect caricature of the typical russian art movie the director has excellent command of technique but he lacks eye he doesn't see when he crosses the line into the realm of the pathetic br br this movie is a wet dream for art film it lives up to every stereotypical view of the genre that there is br br if it was bad in an entertaining way it would a turkey but for a movie that is so bad that you walk out afterwards p ed off we need a new term this movie is a,negative
what we have here the standard disney direct to dvd sequel where i would expect are cut in all areas resulting in an okay animated movie that falls well short of the original that is not to say that this is a terrible movie it is just that it is a very mediocre movie full of the preachy messages intended to show children the virtues of friendship and being nice to one another and unless done subtly which it is not here can quickly become grating for adults the film has a very thin plot line with trying to win the of his father and ending up finding the true meaning of wealth and success this has it's comedy moments but is really nor enough to carry a full length film,negative
sure most people will island of the as silly and trashy but can you honestly name one other movie that brings forward this many themes this italian gem stands for pure entertainment and features stuff like voodoo mutant fish creatures the mysterious continent of atlantis treasure hunting a remote island filled with death traps and utterly mad scientists all this and much more in one simple movie yes please close minded opponents of italian horror cinema can easily tag this film as a cheap exploitation version of the island of dr but the truth is that this is so much more island of the delivers thrills and adventure from start to finish with surprisingly convincing special effects and astonishingly stylish camera work the story opens with a small group of prisoners survivors of a a island they encounter the sadistic who rules over a native a legion of created monsters that live in the there are so many twists and additional sub plots in the story that it's almost impossible to write a summary but trust me this gem is worth checking out sergio martino once again proves that he's an ingenious filmmaker who has the talent to be commercial minded and creative at the same time he makes great use of the beautiful island location and also the interior sets look very impressive the underwater footage and imaginative scenery really lift this film high above the normal standards of late 70's exploitation i don't quite understand why roger corman the original so much and released it on the american market under a different title because there are very few elements open for improvement the cast members are all sergio martino with the exception of the great joseph is a neat supportive rule and give away great performances in case you can get your hands on the recently restored german version you're treated to fifteen uncut minutes of extra action see it,positive
the long kiss is an enjoyable and very cool action thriller and a career breakthrough for davis the plot is very familiar to that of the bourne identity but so what the fight scenes are a real treat for the eyes and the is strong enough to keep you engaged for the 2 hours br br it's directed with a slick sense of style and avoids most action cliches davis is great as an action chick and gets past her usual good wife role samuel l jackson is good as usual as the supporting player the film's baddie is overly cheesy though and you can tell what's going to happen to him br br it breaks away from the usual run of the mill such as and on deadly ground and is one of the best in years good fun and good popcorn entertainment 7 4 10,positive
free stupidest name title ever is the worst episode of any of the tv shows i watch which includes x files all 3 law and orders all of the family guy simpsons show report and more south park was for very long my favorite of the comedy shows because of it's shockingly obscene content and disturbing black comedy free has none of the content i mentioned earlier it was so tame so it might has well been an episode of street kyle goes to sea world where a few of the workers play a prank on him making him think a whale is talking to him he befriends the whale actually befriends it hello this is south park the same show that brought you cancelled it hits the fan death camp of tolerance and so many more not ugh i actually watched the whole episode which is 30 minutes of my life i will never get back anyhow i was extremely disgusted with this episode and i can't believe the shocking decline in the quality of matt work,negative
i expected fame to be an uplifting film but it ended up the opposite the overall plot which follows the lives of several determined students attending a performing arts school has strong potential however fame builds its characters up beautifully and then leaves us with so many questions when its over i was very surprised when the scene pops up we thought the dvd had or something all of the characters have internal and conflicts of some sort and virtually none of them are resolved when the movie ends you might think there are too many characters but its probably too many scenes its evident the film was cut up and because its sometimes lacks transition i think laura dean as lisa monroe is my favorite character i really connected with her character's ambition and following her heart as michael the stereotypical poor student who can't read but is a divine dancer is also very good i didn't especially like irene character of but this is not fault since her script is weak and her character is not fleshed out her voice is beautiful and hearing her songs watching the whole film in summary the film could use many but the quality actors and great music earn its place in film history,positive
this film has a decidedly weird setting taking place in a school that's really old to begin with but it certainly doesn't look like any medical school environment very gothic and atmospheric as for the film itself well ok the premise is a bit far fetched but hey that's why we watch movies isn't it and it's less far fetched than some of the garbage that's out these days that's for sure medical students are with death as in allowing themselves to be briefly dead so they can experience what the is like it's kind of nice in some cases till parts of it come back with the voyager and start in their lives i hadn't seen this film in years till i got it on dvd and i have to say that i'd forgotten just how good it was and it struck me that julia roberts looks truly beautiful in this film not like actresses of today that are supposedly gorgeous but are dressed and made up like cheap the good old days anyway this is a great flick perhaps not for christians but many others may enjoy it 8 out of 10 stars,positive
this is a fine under rated film and rip torn well known as he is is a seriously under rated actor i read howard frank novel many years ago how well craven captures the book and the beauty of kingdom i had the good fortune to grow up in in the 40s and 50s and was still living there when the incident took place i've not seen stranger in the kingdom the craven collaboration based on the incident and another novel but this film has inspired me to track it down,positive
this is a film that i love above all others i try to the main film locations in and whenever i can which help to re establish those magical qualities that this film seems to so uniquely a and more mannered age with its that people really do matter that family life is not just another and that life really is worth living though sometimes we may doubt that in short a film that soon brings tears to my eyes helped perhaps by the deeply music some tunes are like the tune played on a sometimes with the stirring melody when the family first set off for not knowing what lies ahead and the haunting little tune played on a solo or is it an that sudden child felt changes in fortune br br this is as much a film for adults as for children appealing to the eternal child in us all a key that effortlessly those deep and apparently long lost values and feelings buried inside us which are normally swept aside by the demands of modern everyday life this is a film about basic human goodness and decency in which we the viewers are left to make of it what we will and there are welcome touches of humour sometimes added for good measure such as the arrival of the aunt or on a more level the bedroom scene on birthday all right bert as it's your birthday i must know every scene every line of this film and yet so great is the magic that each time i watch it is like i am opening a box of for the first time each moment sometimes humorous sometimes well very different as peter says in the film it's perfect more perfect than you know and so it is,positive
loosely based on actual events edge is a film much in the style of david lynch about a group of teenagers who are aware of a murder committed by one of their friends but no one does anything about it for a long time with top notch acting by glover and dennis hopper we are able to forgive the average acting by everyone else in the film br br the film begins with a young boy tim joshua john miller dropping a doll off of a bridge murder 1 tim then hears someone yelling when he looks up he sees daniel standing on the bank of the river with the dead naked body of his girlfriend behind him murder 2 eventually shows the body to his friends all of which are horrified not only because of the murder but also because the victim jamie was a friend of theirs despite all of this no one goes to the police you may think this is unrealistic but this is what happened in the real story if you are familiar with the story of dog 2006 you will know that the same thing happened there as well through all of this glover is working to keep safe although no one including seems to care about keeping him out of way as time goes on we learn that dennis hopper a middle aged shut in who deals drugs to the local teenagers has also killed a woman before murder 3 from here things begin to close in on and his friends and eventually everything is revealed but not in the way you may be expecting br br in the film we learn of three murders each one with a different reason a different reaction and a different effect on those involved when tim drops his younger sister's doll off of the bridge we are never made aware of his motive however we do see the reaction of the younger sister she cries and screams while her mother her later her older brother matt keanu reeves helps her put a cross in the yard in of her doll the murder of jamie everyone except who is to the whole situation and when asked by why he did it replies with she was talking sh t but they do not or scream the run away and go on with their lives trying to forget what had happened in situation he did not kill his girlfriend out of hate we never really know why he killed her but we see that is not proud of what he had done he even mentions that he is sorry and that her loved her from this we see the different ways we can be affected by death in the film it is easy for us to identify with the teenagers because they do not know what they feel or how they should feel about the death of their friend in much the same way we the audience do not know how to feel because we do not know jamie we are obviously by the death and realize that should be arrested but we don't feel strongly for jamie as an individual br br there are several similarities between edge and twin peaks 1990 1991 especially in the overall feel of the film i wonder if mark frost and david lynch were thinking of edge when they were creating their series after all tim hunter did go on to direct three episodes of twin peaks br br performance as the frantic is an oscar worthy performance always in a rush and always worried about keeping from getting caught is an intense character that seems to be on speed if you have seen glover in any film you know that he can deliver a line like no one else it is always a treat to see him perform the other great performance in edge is by dennis hopper his portrayal of the shut in drug dealer who has one leg and an sex doll he talks to named reminded me of a more toned down and more humorous version of frank booth character in david lynch's film blue 1986 br br edge is great film and i believe it shows us how easy it is to be when in reality we need to step up and speak out against the in the world,positive
my first hugely disappointing bbc jane austen flick the tone is off the costumes are off the hair is off the music is from outer space and robert hardy bless him looks like he's really annoyed to be in such a stinker even some of the casting is off no i take that back a good director can make a purse out of a ear so to speak the performances in this thing are so over the top and melodramatic that it's almost a farce of a jane austen story which is ironic since is a sort of homage send up of the early gothic novel i wanted to slap the female lead after awhile who made the decision that she should be such a i had to watch pride prejudice immediately to get the bad taste out of my mouth,negative

i was a little worried about actors and acting in italy then le and toni came it was a long time that i didn't see a so charismatic actor on screen has written a wonderful story about loneliness and tony has built one of the most unforgettable characters seen in movies in recent years the movie is not completely perfect but will stay with you for a long time after the vision of the movie toni please keep on acting in movies you're for sure the coolest actor around today and not just in italy his performance deserves international i rate this movie 9 10,positive
this movie possesses something most other movies of its genre do not intelligence and good messages accepted is the story of a kid named justin long who gets rejected by every college he applies to his parents are incredibly strict frustrated and disappointed so and a few other students who face similar problems start a fake college to themselves off to their parents as college kids not everything goes to plan and the movie is about them it but behind this plot which sounds ridiculous there are good messages morals and a new on the american educational system the college they create south of technology accepts those who did not get accepted anywhere else the message is that you do not need money tradition or fancy books you just need a desire to better yourself they are a completely school but what the movie teaches is that thats still ok and different whether its a person or a school is not necessarily bad and that every one no matter should be given the chance to better themselves despite whether they are ' its a message of non and has of anti authority in as well but not only are messages great its hilarious haha i laughed very hard the humor can be subtle but can also be blatant as well and is a great mix beware,positive
sometimes you just have to have patients when watching indie horror if you can just toe tap your way through the slow paced early scenes sometimes a real gem will present itself this unfortunately was not the case with whip br br written and directed by jason whip attempts to drag us along on a boring fest of a film with no real pay off at the end i'm guessing that the black white and blue cinematography must have been for a reason however it is never explained why the majority of the blood is blue and i found this increasingly annoying as the film went on the story in itself is not that bad and actually had some originality and decent content but the acting is simply pathetic this combined with the slow pacing and lack of any real red gore made whip one to forget quite quickly i will give it a 4 rating for some witty dialog that made me chuckle but alas that could not save this boring waste of my time,negative

i've seen various and i've taught the play as i watch i'm tempted to think that he's every bit as intelligent as hamlet himself so alive is he to every nuance of this character's wit he rather than every puzzle regarding character he line after line word after word shining light into this mind at the same time however we cringe at the horror hamlet feels at his betrayal far more than with any other actor because feels the pain more profoundly than anyone else and we at own because is not afraid of the to which hamlet can in short gives us hamlet in full and hamlet in full is the greatest character in literature that's why i'm satisfied that hamlet is the finest performance i've seen by an actor,positive
i heard about this series in 2001 which a friend of mine was recording off the television each week i never bothered to watch though i became with the series through the magazine which i looked at every now and then in i recently purchased series one on dvd and have become addicted to this fascinating and original series the characters at first seem unlikeable but it is amazing how fast they grow and develop into a united force as they begin to care for one another it becomes easy to care what happens to them bearing in mind that this is only a tv series and they are fictional br br however it isn't the pc world of star trek and so whilst every character shows a good they each have their own flaws and demons that they must deal with story lines mixed in with an overall multiple story arc make this one of the most complex and rewarding television experiences i have ever had the pleasure of viewing i absolutely enjoy watching each of the characters interact with one another br br this strange new world we are introduced to is brilliantly portrayed through the eyes of astronaut john and as he learns and to being on the other side of the galaxy strange alien creatures different cultures being hunted by a character that wants him dead and being treated as inferior by his we can easily relate to what he must be feeling as he becomes used to his surroundings so do the viewers and his compassionate strong and brave character is a joy to watch br br i have watched only seven episodes of season one and look forward to continuing through seasons two four and the mini series maybe one day we can all enjoy a season five highly recommended viewing and well worth setting time aside to watch buy and enjoy 10 10,positive
this movie stinks the only reason i gave it a 3 was because the graphics were semi charming it's total disregard for a plot and the lack of even surface character development made it seem like just a bunch of nice drawings this is by far the worse anime that came out of japan i can't believe they actually put their names on this garbage what a rip off selling this thing for 20 if you haven't seen this don't bother if you have i pity you,negative

i don't think i've yet seen a movie in my whole lifetime about a high school kid creating his own college just to impress his parents nowadays movies are either remakes or sequels or plots that have been used in many different films this one has an original story line and to follow it up by making it a comedy films only the deal with this well thought out story and with laughs mixed in this is a good movie now i've seen better but upon going into the theater i was thinking another drug beer frat party with some sexual innuendo tossed in aka an american pie flick but i was surprised to sum it up i enjoyed the film and the next time your through the paper for movies look for show times to accepted if you want to laugh out loud that is,positive
acted and completely laughable haunted house horror flick that has an out of place anna playing a neurotic teenager fighting off the things that go in the dark that are her and her family shortly after moving to their new home in spain little more than a re planted rip off of the shining and most notably the others the weak plotted darkness is basically your typical run of the mill b horror feature with a few predictable lame scares that can be seen by audiences a mile off so to speak in retrospect i suppose i shouldn't have set my personal expectations quite as high for this movie to actually be good considering the well known fact that it was for nearly three years before finally being released around christmas of last year in american cinemas across the country to what was ultimately ticket sales and very harsh reviews from critics when will filmmakers ever learn that there's more to making movies be it horror or otherwise than just the possibility of a little financial gain turkey zero stars,negative
i agree that this is one of the very best episodes of the entire series my only would be the somewhat jarring appearance of mark as the commander my reasoning is this if you were not around for the first run of this episode then you know mr as father and for the 2nd generation or your it takes you out of the scene at first yet he's an excellent commander as well as opposite for our captain and this episode is strongly written and well acted by all there are excellent points made by both sides about the cost of war vs the price of peace and certainly does remind one of some of the best of the wwii and later era movies those are not my favorite genre but i certainly would recommend a fan of such to view this episode through that you'll see it holds up i'll never understand why sci fi gets so little respect the best drama comes out of placing ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances,positive
a group of teens decide to take their party to an abandoned school where 27 years prior a horrible massacre took place unfortunately for them the person responsible for the slaughter still the of the school and he is not happy with their presence br br this film is not like most modern teen slashers we've seen it's much darker much more suspenseful no wise cracking murderer etc and i liked it for those reasons from a film making point of view it's not great the acting is below average the writing was pretty bad and quite full of clichés containing randomly tossed in references to american horror films some that didn't even make sense like have you seen scream 3 a girl asks yes i have and it had nothing to do with walking through the doors of an old school so it in no way relates to this film but hey it's a slasher flick those are part of the fun also the of characters was heavily in this film there were six main characters not including the security guard and to be honest only three or four were really used two characters the token black guy and some other girl that wasn't important enough to get a label barely spoke between them i'd about five or six lines total also the girls other than one weren't formed well enough to them from one another they could've replaced each of the girls with one another repeatedly throughout the film and i wouldn't have noticed the difference the pacing however works well as the horror begins right from the start and rarely the atmosphere is well and the direction reveals some truly chilling moments although the overall appearance is a bit cheap looking due to what i assume is low grade camera equipment and operation the ending though i liked the idea they were going for was fairly poorly done it felt rushed and without explanation enough to make it effective with the amount of time they spent running around looking for nothing they could've spent a little bit more time on the conclusion to make sure it didn't feel like some random event thrown in for no good reason which is a flaw many modern horror films are with however ignoring a few issues and trying to focus on the first 98 of the film rather than the ending this is actually a rather good modern slasher that should be checked out especially if you're a fan of spanish and or atmospheric horror br br obligatory slasher elements br br violence gore there's a good bit of blood and gore realistically done but not the violence is extremely well done not to excess but pretty brutal at points br br sex nudity little bit and with the girl in the film br br cool killer well security guards are hardly considered ' but this guy is pretty wicked his creepy smile was chilling br br scares suspense the suspense is top notch very tense very well done there are also some extremely creepy moments that jump scares and the spooky atmosphere br br mystery none at all really br br awkward dance scene of course between a couple of guys and a half unwilling female in the flashback br br classic quote of the film more ' br br final verdict 7 10 this may be it but fans of session 9 might want to check it out simply for the similar tone and atmosphere br br,positive

for all the viewers who have seen 'the would agree with me on this comment that it is a superb movie and is very heartwarming joseph and brad prove their star quality in this movie along with mother br br when i first watched the cure on tv i didn't know what to expect but as i watched this masterpiece it soon became clear what it was about an 11 year old boy who is plagued with aids sits around his backyard playing with his toys when one day he meets his next door eric which at first is a little awkward for the 2 boys but they soon became good friends br br during the film i kept wondering what would happen to the two boys as they kept me wondering i wondered how the heck they would get to new orleans sitting a door with a sea under it pulling an crocodile behind it there were other great scenes throughout the movie br br but the part that reached out to me was the part when health started to you just couldn't help but wonder if he was going to make it but towards the end you find out i thought at the first prank they played that was really dead he obviously wasn't silly me but when they play the third something is very wrong doesn't get up to laugh nor does he show any kind of laughter at that point the victim of their prank soon that poor had died at that part i lost it i my eyes out and from that scene i was crying you just have to as the end you start to understand loss and then the movie ends on a nice note with shoe floating ever so slowly down the river br br overall this movie was excellent it has laughter adventure emotion and sadness etc when you put that in a you get an excellent must watch film peter has done a great job directing this film and i believe its certainly one of his best but for now i will try to search for this movie on dvd if it exists that is once again a superb movie that will take you on an emotional,positive

take the secret agent james bond of the sixties mix in some concepts from female fu femme fatale and stir in some twisted by director franco you have the man hating lesbian or the 7 secrets of better known as the girl from in the usa that man from which has nothing to do with this yes this does take place in brazil we must give it that or as she's also referred to is like an evil version of modesty blaise played here by actress with that familiar smile which most of us first became with in there are numerous close up shots of her staring off camera slowly opening her mouth probably while watching something unpleasant however she is in her key lesbian scene she controls an entire army of female warriors and rules a city called or something just outside de these concepts which previously appeared in the million eyes of sound terrific but despite some intriguing set design visuals it follows the same campy atmosphere of for example the very dated some girls do which came out around the same time and which also featured a female army at first glance the sight of all these armed females usually up in a row catches one's interest but after 15 minutes or so you realize there's nothing else there beyond just setting up the visual br br the plot follows what seems like a secret agent a male arriving in brazil with 10 million dollars he catches the attention of the local crime lord sanders it up as an elderly bond type villain who sends dark suited thugs in hats to him this sets everything up for a 3 way conflict between the agent the crime lord and the mysterious the crime lord wants secrets also keeps various prisoners in glass maybe that's one of the secrets this sounds exciting but there are problems which go beyond just a slow pace there are many shots which could have used a lot of one shot of an arriving airplane for example stays on the craft as it to a near stop as if this had never been captured on film before there's a similar approach to a typical sunset as if there's something unusual about it the fight scenes are very as if the filmmakers had to use the first takes to add some production value there's a scene of the real carnival about through i'm guessing there were various budget problems especially evident in the climactic battle where fake sound effects and smoke cover up a lot of bogus action such as the lack of even real looking guns it calls to mind those times when kids use plastic guns and pretend bullets are being fired falling over there are touches of such as torturing a character to get answers and female nudity an early depiction of such after some were lifted but mostly you'll be rolling your eyes hero 3 villains 5 femme 5 henchmen 4 fights 3 stunts chases 3 4 auto 4 locations 6 pace 3 overall 4,negative
i like most other people saw this movie after hearing of it from oddly enough it was easier to find than i thought it would be though it shouldn't come as a surprise that i found it used br br the plot is summed masterfully within the title it's a bed that eats nothing more nothing less there is an effort to throw in a story line but not a very good one br br a blood ended up on a bed and as a result it becomes possessed it anything that happens upon it by absorbing and then it in what appears to be orange there is an artist who fell victim to the bed but was sick and ends up behind a painting in the room it the narrative is told entirely through him br br this movie fails horribly at everything even at being bad still it's not without its own brand of charm,negative

after watching this film i experienced a new sensation i had watched a film in which the lead actor had put in a performance that almost the legend chevy chase in this isn't to say that the performances are comparable but both give practically flawless delivery of their lines that actor is marc singer singer is jack ford the of the title out a living collecting the bounty on there are some mutants topless pleasure a and possibly a half hearted attempt to make a statement on class or maybe even or well it doesn't really matter what matters about this film is the dry manner in which singer delivers his lines resulting in side splitting humour what matters about this film is that director fred ray seems to realize that serious sci fi very rarely works and when your budget is skimpy it is best not to take yourself to seriously ray has said that everyone involved in this film had great fun and this onto the film i dare you to criticize a film that allows itself to portray futuristic earth as dark and lit and then ends in a and warehouse self parody is a very redeeming quality to fred ray is an for independent film making and marc singer the perfect b movie lead if only ray could draft in tim to the then we'd have a film on our hands,positive

i can't believe i'm wasting my time with a comment but this movie is bad if 20 different directors were brought in to film different parts of the movie without having any idea of the storyline being filmed by the other directors this is pretty much the result i would expect br br i also think some of the scenes were spliced out of order things don't always seem to progress in order the movie acts like we're already supposed to know about half the characters br br and steve tries to do manic a la robin williams comedy in this movie and the whole premise of putting an ex con in charge of a bunch of kids just doesn't seem realistic in this day and age,negative
a plane carrying a rich daughter goes down in thick wilderness he a group to go and find her and the others but the rescue party soon suspects that something is stalking them then motives for the expedition are revealed and that only adds to the already existing tension br br the movie is a decent idea and a take on the popular sasquatch legend was bound to wind up on film sooner or later however the film's direction breaks a fundamental rule of horror thriller directing and that is showing too much too soon of course the audience knows there is something stalking the characters just read the title but showing what should have been the film's that early just ruins most of the suspense and as a direct result much of the fun the film also lacks a good atmosphere and there are almost no landscape shots that show the of the wilderness but there are plenty monster point of view shots that add nothing to anything they actually knock off quite shamelessly the low budget horror film did what this film tries to do much better br br some of the character tensions and a non cliché ending manage to make up for this rise above the crap pile but it is still poor and given the premise and potential very disappointing 4 10 br br rated r for some violence and profanity but it's pretty tame compared to most r rated horror,negative

like many i first saw the water babies as a child young teen in the late seventies early eighties it has remained with me since then with its catchy tunes memorable portrayals less then successful animation and a story full of heart and ultimately good evil recently i sat down and saw it again after at least two decades passing and i noticed this time around its striking similarities to the wizard of oz no these aren't blatant but hear me out in this one we have a boy and his dog having personal problems at home running away from something and in the scene right after they run away changing the substance of their appearance in this one the boy and dog become animated in the wizard of oz dorothy and are in color in this one the boy and dog are told they must find the water babies for answers and then ultimately the for and he has the ability to let tom go home if he shows he has courage etc in the wizard of oz dorothy must also find an figure that her before he will allow her to return home in the water babies tom meets three characters that will help him on his journey to the water babies dorothy has three as well when each is met we are entertained with a rendering of hi hi hi hi hi we're on our way in the wizard it is we're off to see the wizard dorothy has a good witch sort of look after her tom has a woman with many roles do the same if you look closely at the two there are many other that being said the water babies is not a in any way i was just commenting on the eerie likes between the two this film has some solid performances from bad guys bernard and the always fascinating james mason the kids playing tom and ella are good the supporting cast of joan love her voice david and the vocal talents of john pertwee and lance add greatly to the mix i must confess that the animation is less than sterling even for its time but is adequate enough to the challenge the three animated characters that help tom get home are all likable i always have trouble picking my favorite between the french and the john mr like the scene where we hear this laugh from a only to see a with a huge bow tie bob out always has me rolling the water babies is a lot of fun sure it is more of a children's film but it has and always shall have a fond place in my heart the bulk of the credit for what the film does have must go to director lionel is a wonderful comedic actor and his sense of humor is clearly evident throughout,positive

i saw this film when it was released to the minor cinemas in the uk some 50 years ago and the memory remains of a great musical score and the tragedy of the storyline i saw it again on video recently the sound track was poor and the picture grainy but it is one of two films that i saw again the next day the other being gladiator the music theme is intensely tragic and from the outset one knows that it failure or death certainly one of george sanders best performances as a man working the black market to get pay back for what he lost in the war but nemesis waits patricia plays a from eastern europe eaten with despair he is attracted to her wants to help her and then falls in love with her but she is too proud and hurt to accept help their love destroys him and the girl and the doctor herbert marshall who brought the nemesis the storyline is of complex where characters are not who they appear to be this is as a film which the critics and at the box office but for the adolescent who saw it and the retired gentleman who saw it again it is one of the greatest films taking into account its age whose story is more akin to an opera,positive
i went to crooked earth to see a piece of new zealand what i found was a badly scripted and badly acted echo of the people i know br br great moments between characters – including many of and scenes together – were often ruined by long and monologues that the actors were forced to stumble through beautiful and ill fitting phrases away from lawrence in particular as if he were the new at his of beer br br when watching any film with actors i've found that i can always pick a half dozen characters that remind me of someone in my life with crooked earth i to find one key character that true for the entire two hours most – including and – wound up saying or doing things that i didn't understand and couldn't connect with by the end of the movie the writer had succeeded in the audience where the weren't able to relate to it and the were therefore given license to dismiss it my feeling is that the movies message – or at least the main one of several that was being at the audience – is important enough to avoid using character unfortunately no one who read the script before it was filmed thought to pass this piece of advice on br br the soundtrack was and as irritating as that horrible bing noise that they laced through eyes wide the audience was not so subtly auto to laugh cry or be angry when the music changed it reminded me of darth entrance music in star wars obvious and mildly amusing br br i think that there are some people out there that might enjoy this film it's funny in parts has a fair amount of action and has some really powerful scenes and quentin did bang up jobs as well as a whole though i didn't enjoy the experience as much as i know i should have wire speed 2 the island of dr and crooked earth look like they're going to be of crap,negative
i myself am a physics student and i have to say i think this is one of the best to string theory that's out there the elegant universe manages to make the entire topic of string although it's actually m theory accessible to a wider audience br br some feel that the best approach is just to throw the audience in at the deep end throwing technical at them without so much as an explanation and presenting the theory in a boring stale style this programme goes through concepts such as general and quantum and explains the issues that need to be resolved between the two so we have a coherent theory that can be applied to the universe on both a large and small scale br br i suppose some could say it's slow and takes too long to get to the interesting stuff like extra and but the thing is that's against the point explaining string theory from the start is on impossible without at least mentioning the physics at its base and the way it's explained in the elegant universe is clear and entertaining br br whether you'll like this program really does depend on if you're willing to perhaps be initially by some of the ideas that greene presents extra and of aren't exactly prevalent in everyday life are they but if you with some of the more exotic concepts in this programme you'll find that it will give you an insight into the research that drives the world of physics today and if you're studying physics well it's great entertainment as well as you'll be likely able to follow this and appreciate it even more,positive

i'd been this one ever since its dvd release – for one thing because i'd been somewhat by this director's two other horror titles 1976 and blue sunshine 1977 but also the fact that the film itself is said to have been slightly for gore on the media show 2 disc set i now upon it as a rental and am glad i did – because not only is it superior to the earlier efforts at least on this but i also found the film to be one of the better of the texas chain saw massacre 1974 this factor however only helped remind me that i've yet to check out another such example – wes craven's classic the hills have eyes 1977 whose 2 disc edition from anchor bay i purchased some time ago but after all halloween time is fast approaching br br anyway the film manages an effortlessly unsettling backwoods atmosphere it was shot in the forest and mountain of – with plenty of effective throughout but thankfully not too much violence even if the last of the villains is in quite an outrageous fashion the principal young cast here one of them played by jack son chris isn't quite as obnoxious as those we usually encounter in this type of genre offering – despite in the one associates with teen oriented flicks and which by and large to this day george kennedy appears as a sympathetic ranger though he doesn't have a lot to do his characterization is decidedly enhanced by making him a lover of plant and animal life also notable among the locals is familiar character actor mike in a nice role as the who first comes into contact with the murderous duo of the narrative – his warning to the teenagers naturally goes but he's later able to lead kennedy to them br br the family the teens come across in the woods then is eventually revealed to be hiding a in their closet while one of the girls displays genuine curiosity at the presence the rest are openly hostile to them – and in the case of the and twins appropriately creepy one of them is even prone to laughter during his at a certain point in the narrative the ranger even offers an interesting explanation as to the nature of their aggressive and generally behavior,positive

is one of the cartoons that have stuck in my head over the years and finally decided to look into it as was pleasantly surprised and was also surprised on the people involved with the production if i remember correctly we had to watch it on a station and this meant using a in those days not part of regular tv to tune in the local station to watch the cartoon a big deal in those days which made the show even more mysterious i remember all the sound effects that used to talk a great memory from 50 years ago i'll have to see what other memories might be hiding on the web by the way i try to do computer animation thats where the comes into the picture,positive

saw this film at the in london where it was showing as part of the john huston season i wasn't really sure what to expect and the first few minutes of the film gave very little away in fact the rest of the film continued to give little away no real plot no action no suspense very little drama and except for a short section at the very end no scenery br br the result of lack of all of these features was however a wonderful film i don't fully understand why but i think that its understated nature made the film almost completely perfect the acting script and most important of all the casting were all spot on and i can't remember walking away from a cinema feeling so good but i still can't work out why i just know that i will be getting the dvd this is one of those films that will i am sure be just as good on the small screen as the cinema experience provided that you can find somewhere quiet to watch it and i will be watching it again soon i will be also interested to find out what my family and friends think of it i'm sure that it will not be everybody's choice but i am convinced that a large number will agree with my view br br 9 out of 10,positive

one of better attempts just shows that if you do something long enough you have to improve just by chance it is still not good but it is at least watchable which is an improvement over the the main difference between and really is that the story from wasn't the games strong point whereas had a strong story and thus boll had more chance to mess it up br br the action in this movie is actually fairly good occasionally a touch overdone but in a good way and worth a watch just for that br br acting wise it was pretty decent most of the actors are pretty good but you can tell they aren't taking it seriously based on comparisons with other performances but the lighter mood this gives to the film actually helps br br while i think sticking a little bit closer to the story of the game might have made for a slightly better film the changes made are pretty practical and not big enough to make a difference especially given the plot of the game was hardly oscar winning just a vehicle for carnage would have liked it set in the jungle as that was a pretty integral part of the game but canada doesn't have a great deal of jungle and it is at least set in a kind of br br why boll feels the need to change already scripted and directed game plots i don't know but he does and until he starts letting the source material speak through his adaptations will always be lacking watch the film for a laugh its good for that and maybe for watching during a party as drinking party fodder,negative

one of the problems with popular culture especially when discussing the popular culture of the 1970s is that mass media especially television is usually about four years behind media primarily music many people think the generation remained important throughout the 1970s actually it was all over at in 1970 by 1972 rock or the had moved east to england and led black and david early metal heads and the so called ' who were all and not neither in a darkly different vein was charles ' br br this obvious pilot for a television show that thankfully was never picked up by the networks is attempting to come to terms with a culture that was already as as flowers the script must have been lying around a few years by the time it was produced writer had already achieved recognition for tough mafia revenge tales and the cultural references are all to easy rider and 1969 the music on the soundtrack is actually earlier 1966 at heat and sly and the family stone had this kind of folk pop into oblivion br br the movie is about a middle class family that goes on the road in order to meet hippies wow man it's a mind blowing happening of a bag however politics count for nothing vietnam some place in asia right br br this average meaning stale and vacuous tv movie is only redeemed by jeff surprisingly mature performance as the young college drop out who convinces his parents and grandma to hippie america all the rest of the performances are standard tv fair by standard tv actors of the time the director himself of some nice location cinematography but otherwise the film is a poor way to spend 90 minutes br br i knew it was all over when remarks of a young runaway who tells the other characters they are not really there she's a wow far out br br a couple extra points for being bad it's funny ' but if you don't care about the tv version of the stay away,negative
another end of the world film that begs comparison to the abysmal day after tomorrow following the same sort of structure as but with a distinctly japanese style how does it fare that depends on your taste for japanese melodrama br br i found that the small human touches to be what makes this film compelling for most of it's 2 hours also the frequent title cards explaining some of the science the effects are probably the best i've seen in a japanese film and they compare very well to anything out of hollywood many of the disaster scenes are truly horrifying even though the human carnage is usually off screen and that is one of the while the terror of thousands of on screen deaths like in the recent war of the worlds might have too overwhelming we also don't really get a sense of the chaos of an entire nation into the ocean a few scenes touch on the chaos but for the most part this part of the story is barely touched on regardless this film works on a lot of levels and is way more realistic then that is until the end br br unfortunately the story itself on one clichéd plot device and another plot device that would be at home in the 1960's japanese earth in peril film after the reasonably good science and mostly realistic take on the disaster this makes for a bit of disappointment the sudden stopping of the film for a pop love song doesn't help either unless you like the song this made the exciting ending a bit of a drag for me br br the overall direction is good and the art design is excellent acting is all good as well recommended,positive

this is definitely one of the ultimate cult classics and is a must see for all fans why it has everything a great 70s exploitation film should have over the top dialog bad acting enthusiasm sex sleaze political violence and many other elements of a good cult classic are included in other words is a must see br br as with a lot of these films the plot makes little to no sense what i picked up from it is that hustler got framed up for having stolen and half a million dollars worth of while he was doing time his arch nemesis willie green the same man who framed him took over his nightclub however the sympathetic warden the only white character in the whole movie that isn't completely evil or incompetent decides to spring him free to stop the evil willie green and his drug luckily he knows kung fu as does about 50 to 75 of the characters in this film do and even more luckily while he was locked up the queen sent all his to kung fu school with this army of kung fu fighting his words not mine on his side he plans to take back the nightclub from willie green however two racist white cops try to frame him up again and have him thrown back in jail br br as i said earlier don't try to follow the plot i've seen this movie about five times and there are many elements that seem to have no connections to anything else supporting characters wander in and out of the film i'm still attempting to figure out what was up with the mayor and the who cares ultimately the scenes with these characters are all priceless as for the dialog its horrible with even worse delivery since ray moore was originally a comedian i begin to wonder if this film was meant to be a spoof or a serious action film it seems he couldn't decide which one lines such as yeah i'm so bad i kick my own ass twice a day call for further investigation either way the film is hilarious and the plot has more holes than a swiss cheese factory another hilarious element is some of the most uses of sex and nudity ever in film actors that you would never want to see naked get naked including the mayor and queen not to mention the fact that the boom seems to show up in every other scene br br most of all moore shows incredible enthusiasm he seems to be having a generally good time and is certainly charismatic his comedy proved to be a huge influence on latter day rap including dr who him on his groundbreaking 1992 album the as technically inept as the film is it is influential even more important it is an all around good time the biggest crime an exploitation film can commit is being boring and this for all its flaws is quickly paced and entertaining in other words if you dig this kind of film you'll love if you don't dig it you're a no business born insecure jock f a 7 10,positive
i really wanted to like this film but it barely out a 3 it's surprising that equal amounts of the votes were 10 the other half 1 all the characters were entertaining and even talented but as a whole the film didn't pay off sebastian is appealing charismatic and likable he even physically resembles marc anthony in a more yet ultimately conscious sort of way but even he couldn't save this mess of a movie scenes dragged on far too long and points were ultimately beaten to death the banana scene on self seemingly showing how much movement was in his but in his defense it was his first movie as director that i'm aware of and i appreciate his labor of love it just left me empty despite what was trying to be said ultimately i think the story would have been better handled by a more experienced director from what i've seen of the there is a real story behind this and perhaps when i finish watching them i'll appreciate this attempt more,negative
the nest is really just another run horror flick that fails because of the low budget the acting is ok and the setting is great but somehow the whole film just seemed a bit dull to me the gore effects are not the best i've seen but are fun in a cheesy sort of way the themselves are just regular that bite people the nest reminded me of a much better film called slugs if you liked the nest then slugs is a must see as it's ten times better also worth noting is that lisa who plays elizabeth was in another run type film called deadly eyes aka the rats which is about killer rats as you may have guessed br br if you enjoy these types of horror films then you may want to give this a watch but you'd be far better off seeing slugs which is far more interesting and gory,negative
this is a awful re make of a very good movie called up in the air starring frankie and reynolds i was only able to get through about 20 minutes before turning it off almost all the lines are identical i have no idea why they would re do the movie i totally disagree with a previous post that the songs there the same also in the original the singing is first rate i'm not sure if reynolds actually did her own singing it's hard to tell since the were usually added later and the songs are very good surprising in a b movie if you get the chance see the original it's available on dvd you'll be pleasantly surprised,negative
tourist trap is among my favorite late 70's early 80's horror flicks a group of young people are heading somewhere one pair in the car ahead that car has a flat and our film opens with the young man woody pushing the tire along looking for a service station he finds a seemingly abandoned place and yet hears voices and and ends up with a piece of through his stomach for his efforts along comes the rest of the young folks in a thing and they pick up girlfriend and find this very same place or some such thing and then mr happens along while the girls are enjoying a in the stream of course the thing has mysteriously died at that point so odd mr chuck offers his help mr has a museum with lots of wax figures and he lives in the museum but behind is a big house where he says lives and who is why he says but if it were they'd all probably be the girls are left alone while goes to help with the car but of course curiosity gets the better of one she goes to investigate and finds the house full of creepy and one rather animated one named what follows is a rather creepy night of terror as one by one they're taken prisoner by who says he's brother one girl kidnapped earlier is treated to a facial which results in her death when it covers up her air supply at any rate there's somewhat of a twist to this and kind but weird mr is not exactly what he appears to be a good creepy late 70's horror flick and lots of make for a very creepy atmosphere 7 out of 10,positive
great piece of fiction played as if factual tonight i was looking at the of robert was not a model meek prisoner and he was in jail because he was and a did not pay up once he got into jail he was so he spent most of his time in or in the prison hospital killed a few people in prison too this movie reminds me of the of but even worse robert did write books and he did contribute to society in and the had some hints of but this guy henry young who murder in the first is suppose to be about was a a known bank who took and beat them up in more then one robbery he wasn't some poor guy who stumbled into a store which just happened to be a post office and took some money this man was a hard core criminal he also killed a person 3 years before he went to he killed another person in jail not because of the which ended over a year before the murder the real story of his life would of been more interesting they did not even get the warden thing right you can't be a warden in 3 different at the same time and by all accounts the warden in the movie was a pretty stand up guy as go plus if my is right the warden played by karl malden in the is suppose to be the same warden in this movie oh boy not only that in this movie we are to think poor henry committed suicide and he wrote the word victory not true he might be alive right now he was sent to where robert was also a medical center prison then for another murder he committed and then was released and jumped in 1972 never to be found maybe he is hanging out with that cooper guy who jumped out that airplane in washington state after committing a bank robbery lol now the acting was very good kevin bacon is in that class of actors which include jeff bridges and dennis quaid the vastly underrated actors club gary well they just might of made up the warden part so he could play it because he was great christian slater still somehow sounds like jack nicholson i am not sure if that is a good thing or not wife was in the movie i think just because she is his wife i like her though but not in this flick for some reason i felt this movie when it first came out was suppose to be a special project for kevin bacon i feel he could of taken a person who is truly a victim of the system there sure is enough of them and spread some light on their plight other then picking a psychopath to show as a victim,negative
so good the acting cutting directing in there may not be the best ever but the dancing the moves the heat and the passion in this movie is definitely the best well for me it really touched me inspired me to learn dancing i even especially to this site just so i could vote on it and contribute my support for this movie for this movie it literally gave me when i watched it i love it jennifer grey is so pretty patrick is so sexy in there the first thing i'll do tomorrow on my way to university will be to drop by the video store n buy a copy of it n watch it again n again till i am old n n cant dance with the movie any longer before than i need to learn all the dance moves there,positive
the only reason i bought the dvd was to satisfy my curiosity about the scene when liz kim basinger to the music of joe you can leave your hat on that was the best part of the whole film not because the scene was any good only the song i am not saying it was a terribly bad film just not that good so br br especially when the exploration of male and female sexuality could have been expanded upon instead of on the dangerous side of lust obsession and and where it can lead to it drags its heels from one idea to the other for example when john played by rourke is able to leave her on the top of the big wheel liz kim basinger is at the bizarre experience courtesy of john's sense of humor but less at his sexual exploits involving the ever willing liz and like one reader mentioned that for a woman to enjoy sex she has to experience the dangerous side is unconvincing this dangerous side is not exploited enough in the film and one gets a sense of anti climax from the view point that it all could go horribly wrong the theme of bondage makes an appearance often but only just takes one to the brink of danger and then all goes well is the film sending the message out that this kind of is fine if the film was making a point about the of bondage and by the ugly of sad then maybe it would make a good moral point instead the film jumps from one scene of rourke feeding basinger and her to another in a film that could have been good it falls flat on its face because it does not expand and the themes the film is maybe trying to relate thus for me it doesn't have a plot nor a theme just a mixture of ideas,negative
with documentary films the question of realism always up how much of the film is real and how much is manipulated by the film maker in little needs to fly is far too absorbed in telling the story of a man telling his own story to even address the question of realism versus from the beginning role as is obvious luckily he is a master little is the finest most engaging documentary i have ever seen story is enthralling and efforts at putting through the of his story on location while it is being filmed are very effective the story that tells is real but is ever present wrenching commentary from the realism this film is a must see for any students of documentary film and or of,positive
stanley kubrick a director who i hold in the highest of for his masterpieces clockwork orange 2001 the killing the shining dr etc took the film out of leaving it to be found by only the hardcore fans and after seeing the film for myself i could see why at the age of 24 kubrick had already his craft of still photography for look magazine and had done a few short documentaries like many first time filmmakers that came in the decades after him his ambition for fear and desire was in short to just go and make a film cheaply more than likely to see if he could do it on that level he was successful however the film itself definitely is not br br i can't really say that the film is a failure because there was something i did like about it throughout even as the film's story went on the and the actors whom kubrick didn't have any idea how to direct not being a man of the theater his knack for producing and capturing some great images gets its in this film at times there are some shots of close ups and quick shots in suspense action scenes that are eye catching unfortunately this is all the good i can really say of the film although there are a couple of actors in the film frank who also appeared in killer's kiss and paul a director in his own right the performances overall are dull and very routine br br in fact that is the film's main demise for me whenever i watch any kubrick film even his early film killer's kiss and the killing i can tell who made it as his style by then became distinct which would continue as he evolved as an artist it wasn't like i might have which is usually the case with first time directors like scorsese and spielberg but watching this film not only did it feel like it wasn't kubrick it felt like a lot of the time i was watching some b or even c grade movie by a director that time forgot not quite bad but close the music is as standard as can be the fades are pedestrian and the plot seems to not really hold that much attention br br in short as others have said and which i can agree this is a pad of a future ground who shows some shots and a few edits that grab some attention the best scene overall being when the soldiers take the dumb girl hostage but not enough to really recommend except to those like myself who end up seeing everything by kubrick or perhaps have to see every ultra low budget war film ever made if only out of curiosity,negative
i honestly found wicked little things to be a very cool and fun horror film my friend had given this to me and i really saw it as nothing but a crappy low class gory horror film then after i watched this i was wrong it was very cool and very good and while ill say it seemed a bit unnecessary at times and while it may not be the best horror film ever its still good i thought the acting was very good especially from the girl who plays the mother she seemed very believable and to me very likable and while it is a little and over the top its good overall i gotta say if the horror fest films are not your style then you should have no business watching this but if you like horror films or a wicked little time than check out wicked little things 8 0 out of 10 stars,positive
i first saw this movie around 1968 and if i don't see it once or twice a year i'm surprised i've always found it engrossing well acted and for hollywood surprisingly accurate historically i give it 10 stars and recommend it highly,positive

i wonder how someone could on this movie it is based on an actual story it is not necessarily about itself so to the one that posted on here that they need to make a real movie you missed the point this is not another typical sports movie where a team sucks they hire and turn the team around and win the championship and give everyone the warm and it focuses on a story it shows how someone can change his or her life for the better the movies now days are all about sex drugs etc that is hollywood i am a big fan of movies but i have to say this was an inspirational movie with a great message if you consider yourself a tough guy don't watch the movie it won't live up to your standards if you want to watch a good inspirational movie this is a good one,positive
and quite frankly that just sums it up br br it is a small computer animated series that is filmed just like an animal br br the animation is almost flawless i thought the long swimming dinosaurs eyes looked fake br br however some of the model shots didn't look quite that realistic br br and i thought that park made a better t rex br br if this is the type of thing we see on a normal british tv series then i cannot wait to see what they can accomplish in the movies br br i give this 10 10 stars br br and the making of video was also great the dinosaur on the board was br br,positive

i just witnessed a movie that by all rights should have been fodder for a second rate on lifetime but trust the irish to keep it from being anything but the set up all but screams here's a message concerning what's truly important in life but the execution was way into the let's see just what we can get away with here br br it helps to have two fantastic actors in the leads james as and stephen robertson as michael while is offered up as the near one never mind the language and attitude he's the life force in this piece and could easily have been in his ultimately caring attitude keeps him sharp enough to keep him from being too sweet but the revelation is stephen robertson as michael not since in gilbert has anyone so perfectly captured a person with an that i began to believe he really was an actor with cerebral and his eyes my god he can rip you apart with them br br this movie is to f amazing go see it take a box of and enjoy every well earned tear and laugh,positive
i saw this series in 1999 in london tv and was blown away like another user commented this is what i would have liked to see when i first watched jurassic park life and death of dinosaurs in their natural as a documentary the cg are very and the diversity of dinosaurs and shown makes it also very educational br br the series takes everything known about dinosaurs adds a lot of good ideas on what it could have been to make up what then looks like a documentary series what i missed was some small bar constantly in one corner of the screen moving between fiction and fact along with the narration and the pictures because you often wonder how much is educated guessing and how much is pure fantasy br br to some clues on facts fiction you have to see the 50 minute making of which is not only very educational about the cg process and collecting and including the knowledge into the series but which also is very funny dinosaurs smoking and complaining about cg animators br br i highly recommend to watch this series before going into the upcoming disney dinosaur movie or watching any jurassic park like movie again it will surely make you much more critical towards those movies the disney trailers looked especially bad,positive
this movie with all its complexity and subtlety makes for one of the most thought provoking short films i have ever seen the topics it are ugly cynical and at times even macabre but the film remains beautiful in its language with its camera angles and gorgeous in its style the short story of the same name written by a master of short stories br br not wishing to spoil anything of the movie i won't go into any details other than to say that this movie is magnificent in and of itself it takes pride in what it does and does it well it shows the most important memories of life all of which can be topped by the single most feeling unexpected bliss this movie of its own has created in me the same feelings the main character tom felt when words transformed his very existence and that is one impressive feat,positive
i don't normally give movies a 1 although i am a heartless critic i try to find anything that makes the movie worthwhile that is to say watchable the main thing i look for is a coherent plot if it has that alone i can watch it let me start by saying this doesn't even deserve to be called a movie this is more like an school project gone horribly wrong and i've seen every sci fi movie special that was ever made br br many times i've read professional critic reviews that say crap like this played like a made for tv etc etc and i kept saying oh come on i wish they'd think of a real criticism well this is worse much worse this is truly the worst thing i've seen that's lasted the length of a movie if i did consider it a movie it would be my new worst movie of all time and i've seen every movie uwe boll made this movie makes uwe boll look like francis ford coppola i'd rather watch jaws the revenge all day then see this one more time even 5 minutes of it there was one good scene and it was the end p ok enough bashing the works of ron hall now for the serious criticism br br the script is poorly written the dialog is delivered in a wooden manner the effects are than those in a power rangers show and don't even get me started on the screen zoom in transitions ugh someone actually watched this thing edited it and then said ok release it i would have rather burned this than release it in closing all i can say is thank goodness dvd and vhs players have a stop and feature my advice don't rent it if you do you'll be glad you have stop and too,negative
there's not that much to say in the end one would have expect much more from a director who made way better movies in the past it just seems like he did it without actually caring the actors are doing their job though is far from amazing but you just don't get hooked in a word it's boring this is even more disappointing since i heard several time that this movie could be considered as a reaction to all the big american blockbusters which are considered to be a to the french exception by those who just can't admit they should turn to another job i tell you if that's the best reaction we're supposed to get boy i'm going to be really depressed soon,negative
this movie is simply awesome it is so hilarious although the and other montages are played out the comedy is awesome himself and brandon are hilarious there will be moments when you can't breath you're laughing so hard plus there are scenes that you can watch hundreds of times and still laugh this is one of the funniest comedies i've ever seen,positive
and atmosphere this film has but so unfortunately does the print i just viewed raymond massey provides a laid back sherlock holmes almost so in early scenes in his which he in for a to investigate the creepy mansion of dr what wasn't clear to me was why would have wanted his dead if as in the case of helen angela he didn't want her to run off to get married he would have accomplished the same thing by having her br br other abound as well after setting an early wedding date with helen the fiancée is no longer heard from for the rest of the picture the presence of a band of at the time of death provides merely a and what could have been an interesting murder tool a snake is by the fact that it was not a the musical of the indian man servant notwithstanding br br stewart competently portrays dr watson though he takes some getting used to if bruce is more your cup of tea as is menacing a that would be put to good use as nemesis professor in two later films the triumph of sherlock holmes and murder at the br br with repeated and an camera it's surprising that the story line isn't more than it is it's integrity is generally even if one stretches a bit to fill in the gaps i guess that would be my main complaint with the film as mentally some of the jump cuts in the picture proved to be a real pain in the,negative
i must say one big reason why i thought the was so great is because i love cats i love cats which probably gave this film a big score from me but not only that it was definitely a good movie as well and i love where they make the setting of the film take place this is one of my favorite animal films although it's animated and i really love how the actors actresses didn't sound so behind the to me this film seems like a classic but i guess to imdb it's not because it has yes i think too low of a rating you take a at all the other original disney films and they have a much higher rating than this but nonetheless is one of the best animation movies there is and i could enjoy it over and over again,positive
the film begins with a 30 minute explanation about the war the human battles history and then 2 actors into a pit they run around this pit desert area for about an hour shooting at each other that's it must have cost about 00 to make with change avoid br br marks out of ten acting 9 sets 1 costumes 9 direction 50 production 1 titled intro 4 br br i think to improve this film would be to lose the commentary let the watcher decide what's going on remove some of the awful cgi add some rave music to it they might just rescue it,negative
i saw this movie with my girlfriend it was a total disaster you can really see it was cheaply made badly scripted and with very bad acting i have read several versions of the book by different authors and also listened to one version on audio book we couldn't take the movie seriously because of the lacking elements it should have contained the experience of watching this was like the blair witch visits green then there were parts that were vulgar they show this little boy using a bed pan and they actually show the of it the witch throws the of it on the boy and the whole family laughs i thought it was nasty and very strange i really can't understand why someone would think that would be entertaining it shows another scene where dr arrives and bell is in her dress on the steps of their house in front of her mother and brothers instead of the mother leading her off it is the brother how sick the little boy in the first scene of the many scenes dealing with how your body of wastes begs for toilet paper and goes to the out house and makes these sickening faces of joy with sound effects i think they should have left all of that out the makeup on the james as a older man didn't really make you assume he was older it made you think he was in fish the blood on joshua when he falls from the ladder is even worse the john bell death scene looks like they got out and tried to do something with it to make him look as a serious sick man to me to much sickening comedy with bathroom problems and inexperienced people involved was the downfall of this picture these people would do better if they film commercials for local tv stations for bathroom products they chose a good subject and were unable to produce it in a correct manner i rate this film capital f minus,negative
this series doesn't present the british view of the revolutionary war so much as an anti american view of it the underlying theme of the series is that a silent majority of enjoyed british rule that the fathers were manipulative whose only goal was to draw britain into a violent civil war that the american supporters of the revolution and the were racist violent into the struggle clearly the intent of the author richard holmes is for the viewer to these characteristics in a straight line from the american population of to today br br for example in the episode the shot heard around the world holmes up an obscure print of the boston massacre in which he claims the skin of a black man and the first man killed in the revolution was out holmes claims that portraying as a black man would have been bad propaganda for the revolutionary cause holmes never reveals how he knows this and there's more holmes goes to some length to work in a single atrocity the of the body of a british soldier he the american to the and the without mentioning any differences in the goals of these groups the list goes on br br supposedly this series was made in response to mel the it says a lot when an academic feels the need to respond to mel gibson on any topic instead of presenting the british view it seems holmes really wanted to give a anti american view and in the process he's made himself the roger corman of historians strictly third rate schlock,negative
being 15 myself i enjoyed this flick i related to the character ann august more than most would my mother as eccentric as adele but the feelings of is the same this movie is perfect in the aspects and and performances are so linked together that it's the best i have seen in years their chemistry brings the characters to life they become real people i would recommend this flick to anyone who is hoping to get away because there is alot of people out there who would wish to be anywhere but here including me and if you can see this movie with your best friend or your mother its the tears that blend everyone around you together more,positive
makes the fourth theatrical release the one national lampoon took its name off of look like a comedy classic a complete mistake and a sad attempt to capitalize on a once proud franchise painfully unfunny and unwatchable even for a tv movie the cousin eddie character has become less amusing from the original vacation when it was fresh and unique through christmas vacation when it was starting to wear a bit thin to vegas vacation where it was actually annoying to see come on screen but in fairness there were a lot of things that were annoying to see come on screen in that movie but this attempt to move the character up to lead status is unfortunate to say the least the vacation movies themselves met an ugly death in las vegas and this hope at even the thread of the series for television was thoroughly misguided chevy chase and company put together a great trilogy back when he was in his prime now let's just pull the plug and let the title rest in peace one tiny note of interest the original audrey dana the first of four actresses to play the part including juliette lewis returns to the role 20 years later one is left only to wonder why,negative

and a perfect film to watch during the holiday season as the winter atmosphere that burton creates for city is way cool it's weird that warner decided to release this as a summer film it doesn't fit br br but what's even when you consider the content of this film is that it was aimed at families an upper class family throws their mutant baby down the a dresses up in leather as a flying a lonely secretary dresses up in leather as a and a freak runs for political office and s m and bondage are presented in a very perverted way but burton got away with it his visual style in this film is at it's best br br this and batman dead end are the only true live action of the comic book character true the animated series was the closest to the source material but compared with batman forever and the un one after that batman returns is the best of the four br br darker and more violent than the first movie the sense of gothic pathos reaches a new high i was quite keen on michael keaton as bruce wayne don't even get me started on george clooney he displayed the right balance of weirdo loner and cool crime fighter michelle is great as much and more cat like she wears that leather outfit better than and danny was so convincing as the penguin that his scenes became disturbing to watch and christopher walken is brilliant as the spooky max if you think you chip shrek it's none other than a very young br br danny score is also even better than it was first time round his powerful and engaging themes are way better than the that followed in the later 2 movies this movie is the batman phenomenon at its forget the following sequels and stick to the animated series after this let's hope that christopher nolan and christian can bring some integrity back to the live action batman with their movie next year br br this dvd was one of the first ever dvds released by warner almost 7 years ago and as a result there are no features and the case is a pick it up cheap like i did and hope for an se in the future,positive
after mrs and mr this is yet another very good film by mostly in english in the earlier film she treated a contemporary political environment and its effect on individuals in this film it is the impact of mentally disabled member of the family and its impact on the family as a parallel sub theme she treats a philosophical concept on reality it is a film which leads to thinking after seeing the film br br the younger sister the daughter of is suffering from being taken care of by the elder sister after her marriage with and from him believes that she is still with and her five children in 15 park in there is no such address in it seems there is one in new york and she is intense in her belief it is almost like an intense religious belief ultimately what is reality in one scene she tells if i tell you that you are not a professor but only imagine that you are a professor the open ending reflects this reality in a supposedly search for her home in park is lost the scene is looking at a group of five children playing and her looking at them with joy of returning to her family and then she is lost about this concept of reality i am reminded of another film of fifties called harry with james stewart the protagonist believes that a big sized rabbit called harry is always with him and he is always with him at the end even the doctor believes perhaps there is harry what is reality is it what the protagonist believes or what other believe the film with her sterling performance as the strong elder sister with of frustration gives equally performance as the br br yet the film is not as tight as mrs and mr there appear to be some loose ends and perhaps there are too many characters those who want a closed ending may not appreciate the open ending here but the ending the theme of the film br br yet another good film by,positive
another in the long line of conan that tired to cash in on that movie's success this italian monstrosity is about as bad as they came you know it's a bad sign when your heroes fight invisible enemies because the movie was made so cheaply there wasn't money for either adequate special effects or to hire real people i won't even bother going into the plot as i defy anyone to follow it and make sense of the storyline maybe it's the television cut i watched but i can't imagine any version being that much better it all seems so random to me evil giant snakes medieval and hang – none of it fits together it's as if director joe had an fit while making cave or any of the other half dozen names the movie goes by and threw everything he could think of onto the screen regardless of how unrelated it was or how it fit into the film's already puzzling plot the acting is bad miles could never act his way out of a wet paper bag and he proves that once again in this movie the rest of the cast is equally atrocious then there's the well you get the idea it's late i'm tired and i've already wasted more than enough time writing about this piece of garbage take my word for it – avoid cave or whatever you want to call it at all costs,negative
i think it was who said that the best movies either involve the joy of making movies or the agony of making movies this flick is definitely of the first type and juliet is a pleasure to watch from start to finish the zany this is i don't think i've laughed so hard since i saw monty python and the holy grail it's that good,positive
like many people in my general age range i remember going to see this movie as a kid in and coming out of the theatre practically in tears it seemed at the time to be one of the most important awe inspiring cinematic experiences of our generation at once riveting action packed funny heartbreaking and truly inspirational really did have everything going on right down to the catchy theme song and sappy tear of an ending br br sweet what were we smoking i watched it for the first time in years last night on one of the movie channels and i cannot even describe it this is truly one of the worst movies ever made where to even begin leaving aside the of laughable scientific errors on yeah sure thanks for that billy bob i'd have to say the worst thing about it was the remarkable dare i even say way in which it combined crappy writing with crappy acting there are too many examples of this to even begin listing here but one in particular springs to mind the scene where bruce willis is telling the exactly where to go to track down each of the oh so members of his oil team every bar in new 'the tables in 'the only black guy on a motorcycle in all to the tune of it reminded me a bit of the news team scene from anchorman except serious ben affleck proves once again that he is by far the most actor in hollywood having less depth range and overall talent than anyone else in the business not that bruce willis tyler or anyone else in this piece of garbage was much better br br i have to say though i got a kick out of seeing a pre stardom owen wilson get killed off half way through is this the only movie where his character dies br br peter is perfect as the most stereotypical russian you have ever scene then again peter does seem to have a talent for playing over the top it really was quite amusing how almost immediately after the americans with the russian space station which is actually called that in the movie ben affleck succeeds in causing the whole joint to explode in spectacular hollywood fashion i also love the fact that in the end paris is the only place on earth to get destroyed and that absolutely no one seems to care and on top of all that it at points literally turns into ads for martin and kerr oh how proud i am to be an american br br there's plenty of other stuff to rant about but i won't suffice it to say that this is a really really really terrible movie that i feel ashamed to have ever genuinely liked br br i give it two stars just for the factor,negative
i was completely by the comments on this film mainly by someone saying they saw it at a film festival and loved every minute of it expecting this to be a nice run of the mill american pie style film i was deeply disappointed br br firstly the camera work is awful i don't think the director knows that cameras can move around scenes rather than stay still and having the actors move close up and far away of their own br br secondly the scenery my god i've seen more in a nest the club was totally unconvincing with around 3 extras dancing in the back ground at any one time the were bare and lacked personality br br the actors wow the director obviously went for the typical character set up a main character with a gruff i don't give a f k character that takes pot shots at the main everything the main character said and did was a chore so much so it made me br br overall the plot the supposedly big revenge theme lasted for about 30 seconds and lacked any real motivation the characters acted and didn't seem to have any real relationship with anyone else no character had any depth to them they may as well have been cardboard cut outs walking past the static camera br br a truly horrible piece worse than a first year students 2 minute short for youtube advice to the director change your name and deny any association with the film that will probably sell one copy at a yard sale in,negative
this film is about aging geisha in post war tokyo played by the incredible lends money to two other ex geisha and and they the way she is somewhat smug about it has a son a daughter who during the film they're leaving them while never a mother gets visits from two men in her past who it turns out just want money from her its a compelling tale of what choices you make what you do to get through life and who you're responsible and to has always been in my eyes one of the greatest character actresses ever from any country and she plays the mostly less than compassionate with an air of that makes you not like her but at the same time almost envy her at a time when great films were made by and kurosawa amongst others mr is right up there with him if you have a region free dvd player you should attempt to find the two box sets released in england i think this film was a great character study of women who are in danger of being irrelevant that they are really not makes this film a masterpiece,positive

craig is now officially a writer director for whom i will see any film by no matter how bad it may look his debut and flow was one of my favorites from that year with its emotionally charged storyline and realistic characters i wasn't quite sure what i would end up thinking after seeing this effort the cast seemed great the trailer used music effectively however it seemed like there was a good chance it would cross into absurdity and fast fortunately black snake hits all its marks dead on the acting is astonishing the writing superb and the editing style as well as music riveting the whole way seems to be a master at getting his characters to have the right mix of both compassion and as they set forward on their paths toward redemption br br the first moment i knew i was in for a treat was during the credit sequence at the beginning like he did with and flow lays the music over the widescreen shots perfectly with simply titled coming up the 70's aesthetic was welcome and helped show that this would be another great character piece in the vain of those from that decade of some of best from here we continued on with the short snippets into the lives of both and each the other while they journey to the moment their paths finally cross the editing between them was fluid and relevant rather than abruptly cutting before the scene felt finished with its purpose boyfriend leaves for duty in the service and wife leaves him for his brother each feels the loneliness and to what they know in that to sex and to the bottle only when is left for dead at the side of the road and her comes from his farm to take her in does the reasoning for their actions finally start to become clear br br samuel l jackson is fantastic as the older farmer trying to his life with god and that of the flesh and the pain it has brought him there are the moments of stoic as well as those of with his captive patient you never really look at the setup as comical or unrealistic because he sells what he is doing so well also the character of is not up for very long despite what the trailers would have you believe the situation starts a bit awkward until we see that the was for her own good and is actually used for only a day or two as for that girl christina really shines i never really saw her as anything special but this role is a true breakthrough for her this girl is so troubled that her past sexual abuse has her very deep down any time she is away from her love she starts seeing flashes of the man who took her childhood innocence away and to be touched by any man available to let the image go away her is not for pleasure but rather for survival from the haunting nightmares always hiding behind her fully the role and shows all the emotional trauma to great effect and realism mention must also be made of justin timberlake again showing some real acting talent where this guy came from i have no clue but hopefully he will continue taking more films and steer away from the mostly crap music he out br br while not as solid and consistent as and flow still ranks equally to it in my mind because when it is on it is spectacular towards the end we have a truly enthralling sequence with this little light of mine singing out and earlier the interaction between captive and when the chain is first introduced shows some top notch work the truly magical moment though is when jackson sings yes that is him throughout like it was howard in the titular song while a and the lights if i don't see a more beautifully shot sequence all year i won't be surprised what these two people do for each other is wonderful and shows what humanity is capable of one thing i think i really enjoy with work is the fact that he doesn't show becoming redeemed heroes instead he shows us that no matter how bad you have been or how bad life has been everyone can for redemption and to be better people we don't have saints here but people looking to right their ship if the course stays true or if it falls back into darkness no one really knows but at least they can say that they tried as hard as they could,positive
what you bring to the movie influences your view of it i brought 30 years in the air force to this and every time i see it i am moved by the ending would a of 15 who's spent their life flying in feel the same way yet i can only just its impact on me br br jimmy stewart gives a wonderful turn as jimmy stewart considering he was a pilot and an air force general he probably comes as close to being an expert on how a pilot would act as any man alive one can't fault his delivery or his acting he is a pilot being a pilot that's enough br br spoilers br br it's the final minutes of the film that continue to grip my heart has been flying without radio communication and has no idea if anyone is even expecting him when he flies into the paris airport the of the landing field draws you in what is it below those shifting circles that look like or a field of corn must make you wonder is he in the right place they go on and on past his vision until he gets low enough and see that in the paris night what he was seeing was the light of the city off the faces of the thousands of people waiting for him to land,positive
could this be one of the earliest colour films it's actually the second this is a very beautiful piece of film produced by thomas edison this was one of many of his other films br br i think this is the most beautiful of any thomas edison films it shows a girl dancing and moving her dress all around which turns red with the film it's just beautiful br br you are watching history when you watch this you are watching what began to make movies of the day great this may not have a plot or anything very interesting but this is the second colour film ever br br i recommend this to everyone especially if you're teaching students about filming or something of the sort you have to show them what began color films,positive

is not only the best movie tie in game of all time but it is perhaps the most influential first person ever to hit the market if you aren't aware of the plot of this game that's not a problem because essential it is the same as the popular james bond movie which was released in 1995 two years prior to this release br br this is a game that is filled with techniques and styles that would be in many future games to come and it gives the player a wide variety of and difficult challenges the a i is smart especially on higher difficulty settings and the are complex enough to provide entertainment as well as difficulty to any br br the introduction of logical hit points on your enemies is a great feature even bosses in this game can be taken down with a well aimed shot to the head it is this type of realism that really makes you feel like your james bond and that you can sneak in sneak out taking out henchmen as you go or and having to go through massive because of this there are many ways to beat the game and possibilities for how you accomplish your tasks aka you can take easy ways or hard ways of beating levels and if you don't have a guide you'll have to find out those paths by yourself which i might add is incredibly fun if you want to waste a day away br br this is one of those games that the more you play it the more you're able to value its to the industry each time i play it i notice aspects that have been in many following games so if you have a 64 go ahead and dust that sucker and order a used copy of because trust me as a bond fan and a casual i can say that this game is highly recommended for all those who want to step into the shoes of james bond or just have an awesome intense experience br br also make sure to look out for its sister game perfect dark which is also on the following the same controls and very similar weapon uses,positive
if this is not heavily featured on every list of what not to watch it should only be because those keeping that particular list are not aware of its existence which as long as that remains so is the acceptable alternative i'm not kidding you this is a bad movie joseph returns from the dead with various vague supernatural powers the most employed of which would seem to be appearing in new increasingly comical looking and ridiculous and never scary or creepy in general when this goes for the latter of those it winds up just being bizarre and attempts at the former just don't work period outfits and stereotypes and he is portrayed by david keith whom i respect in well at least doing a more often than not terribly inconsistent which could also have to do with script and often over the top performance a character or two have personalities so unbelievably irritating that they're painful to watch the editing thinks it's considerably more clever than it really is and what on earth was with the red for the flashbacks cinematography oh dear framing coverage effective use of angle that one could be attributed some to editing too perhaps please guys stop me when i say something you've ever heard about the existence of as far as the technical side goes this is a pretty lousy excuse for something more worthwhile to put in the than film but why stop there the plot is just poor the basic been done and it's been done so much better than this the crow would be one the way it's told is and while there is some explanation behind the flashbacks it still doesn't satisfy pacing is about non existent the lead is distinctly unlikeable and there's more personality in a door not to mention that those are also considerably less wooden kelly and thomas ian nicholas what in the name of all that is good and just pun intended are you doing in this you were already funny before this on the drew carey show nicholas well i haven't seen you in anything american pie but if nothing else you were funny later on and in those productions the amusement was intentional dialog is the less said the better language is and tends to be stupid the violence is done and they don't even seem to care to try to hide it at it might have been the smarter characters don't get me started why spend so much energy on portraying at times utterly illogical events the more you think about this the worse it gets it's not even passable as a bad horror flick or a b movie it may very well pass through the rest of the and go further still it couldn't scare you on the scariest day of your life if it had an machine i recommend this only to people who want to how bad this is and don't say i didn't warn ya 1 10,negative
i always liked listening to buddy holly and felt a real loss when he was killed at a young age in an airplane crash he wasn't in the old rock roll class of let's say chuck or jerry lee lewis but he wasn't far behind who knows how big his legacy would have been had he sang for decades almost every single he put out was a hit br br so i was very pleasantly surprised how good a job gary busey did at playing him and at imitating his singing voice he did buddy proud as were the actors don and charles martin smith who played group the br br music wise there are some of better known songs in the beginning of the film and its really good with a strong finish at the end as holly and the boys are shown in in their last concert ever busey not only sings like holly he's a dead for him in the looks department some thing was the best performance ever and you get no argument from me br br i'm also glad they ended the film on an upbeat note with that concert instead of on his tragic accident the ending could have been a real but they didn't let it be,positive
radio was a very good movie and honestly i never cry in movies but it had me pretty close to tears it really got to me when mom died and he just wouldn't get out of his room i felt really sad about how if you were mentally retarded you wouldn't really be able to understand death i really liked the movie and it's a must see,positive
island filmmaker andy is well known in the horror community for being an even worse director than ed wood and with this as a dim example of his i'm apt to agree with them in the ghastly ones we basically have three couples traveling to their childhood home located on a conveniently secluded island to collect an inheritance there they are killed off one by one and the events unfold in murder mystery fashion with a butler added to throw you for a loop the film is in such bad shape that it looks like someone just ran it through a the sound is terrible the dialog is bad there's some primitive gore plus some and guts and it's technically inept in every possible way it can be inept but is it enjoyable in a bad movie kind of way sort of it's excruciating to watch but oddly entertaining in a train wreck fashion approach with caution if you're not a fan of horrible movies better deep six this one,negative
hey you are not alone i remember i was just 17 when it was on i remember james garner was one of the coolest actors and was such a great show i couldn't believe it was on such a short time wish i could remember the last episode i probably didn't see it there were no back then so it when it was on you saw it and if you missed an episode it was gone forever unless it came back on summer reruns anyway sure would be great if it came out on dvd but i don't think that many people even knew about it what a shame br br garner would hit it big a few years later with files and he brought along his buddy stuart from to play his sidekick angel,positive
we sought out this hard to find vhs after watching two excellent pictures back to back knowing it was an instant box office failure a failure as a rental i thought it might be worth seeing anyway based on m reputation too bad nine years ago it was very much a liberal agenda objective to trash the fathers and indeed they had some success in the fathers from many american including for example new jersey whose of our great quickly ended when the washington times the spotlight of truth into the school board and their deed a small part of this was the alleged sally thomas connection the which failed to support the wacky agenda never mind they got james an author of dubious reputation to put it in a book and columbia university sealed the deal by giving a br br as to in paris the liberal agenda spin begins in the opening scene james earl jones is claiming to be the son of the spin simply continues in flashback mode to paris the truth is that even if a person assumes the lie is true the would be an insignificant detail into the larger matter of prolonged and vital mission to paris as well as to the where he crucial financial backing for america when our nation was without br br besides the liberal spin job there is nothing else of interest in this drab and dull movie some of the other history is indeed accurate adding to frame the lie but this movie takes one of the most interesting moments in american history and it to a for insomnia br br please do not ask me why set out to trash the fathers because i don't waste time explaining the acts of such people don't ask them either they usually respond to such questions with the same answer shut up,negative
i do think tom hanks is a good actor i enjoyed reading this book to my children when they were little i was very disappointed in the movie one character is totally annoying with a voice that gives me the feeling of on a there is a totally unnecessary train roller coaster scene there are some characters and scenes that seem scary for little children for whom this movie was made the north pole scenes with santa and the could have been cute and charming there was absolutely no warmth or charm to these scenes or characters it usually doesn't work to make a short children's book into a feature film this movie totally on my nerves,negative
it's always interesting to catch a line in a film that winds up being somewhat for the future of an actor in this case i was intrigued by edward g statement to barbara stanwyck i promised you the valley as he the lone hold outs to his attempt to control all the land in ten years later stanwyck would star as the of the family on the big valley somehow i thought she might have looked older in the earlier picture i guess all those bright and fancy riding outfits have a way of bringing out one's youthful side br br as for my summary line above that's lee of john glenn ford one of those hold outs mentioned earlier shortly after uses his knowledge of military tactics to take out a number of hands after they raid his ranch and torch his home i liked the way the film explored his character starting with the way he dealt with richard in a showdown the set up for the was also a clever opposed to the of the bad guys head on with both sides fighting it out to the last man standing for that also had something to say never meet the enemy on his terms br br the violent men is a good title for this film and was probably at the head of it's class in the mid 1950's though by today's standards doesn't come close to the blood letting one will find in a or open range where the bullets exact a nasty but it's shaped by fine performances from the principals with a sub plot exploring infidelity that seemed almost ironic considering it was character who was cheating,positive
spoiler alert i worked as an extra on this lifetime tv movie filmed in seattle it's really interesting when you take part in the production of a movie because usually they are still in the process of either still writing parts as was the case here or making editing cuts and major changes from the final parts br br my husband and i both worked as extras in this movie and i recall them discussing on the set how it was yet to be determined whether or not the little girl dies in the end frankly i never thought margaret character really got adequate punishment for her crime of hit and run lying to police covering up etc could you imagine how the ending would have had to change if she had ended up killing the hit and run victim instead of her ending up coming out of her coma okay just something to think about br br by the way i play a police detective you can see for a split second and my husband plays another detective you can see quite often we've counted four times margaret colin was great to work with and very down to earth although lisa now a lifetime regular was br br overall the movie turned out to be about a 7 10 but like another poster commented is still a real tear and makes a great saturday afternoon cable flick,positive
i really enjoy this genre but the cell was one of the worst movies i've ever been unfortunate enough to watch while about 25 percent of my audience in and out of the theater during the viewing or left entirely i was dumb enough to stick it out the main problems with this story there were too many to list all is that with this type of film you have to do two things one provide fear of the killer being that they catch him twenty minutes into the film that's gone and you must give the victim whose life is at stake the girl in the tank enough character development that you actually care whether they get to her in time or not not only did i lose track of the girl i was given such little insight into her that she was only a face and when i did remember she was part of the story i really didn't care what happened to her while the visuals were interesting in an flashback sort of way they often times made no sense and this should be a lesson that visuals can't make up for lack of a good story see phantom menace for another example finally does anyone know or care what was up with the women in that field and staring at the sky ridiculous,negative
if you think piano teacher erika isabelle in michael film la is the ultimate degree in the of and darkness i've got news for you the piano teacher in novel la on which the film was based is twice as repulsive disgusting deranged and even more fascinating though there can't be words enough to translate the level of artistic that isabelle has reached here above all other mortal actresses in activity today and who else could have played this character with such emotional power complete with the best piano playing dubbing an actor could deliver br br in the novel as in the film there are two big to the heroine her own mother wonderful wreck voiced annie in a part originally intended for and itself the mother perception of her native as a country that and encourages racist fascist or at least behavior sexual and emotional and let's say ideals which are impossible to keep today without the danger of a mental breakdown br br la also deals with a very powerful and delicate issue how dangerous it is to reveal your fantasies to the one you think you love we tend to think our own sexual fantasies must be as exciting to others as they are to ourselves which may turn out to be a huge embarrassing and sometimes tragic mistake here learns the lesson in the most painful and of ways br br it must be mentioned that is one of the best known and praised authors in and europe well now she's got a prize and that can be in her novel as she herself was a and had a reportedly difficult relationship with her mother the novel also includes long about childhood and so you kind of understand how she turned into who she is now chose to hide this information in the film forcing us to wonder how she got to be that way don't we all know a erika out there but he very much the fabric of the book in his film unbearable honesty to the point where most horrendous feelings painfully emerge envy cruelty violence jealousy hate misery etc all of them human br br i thought la was a deeply moving film very disturbing and thought provoking with a handful of unforgettable scenes and that's just all i ask of movies it also made me buy and be thrilled by the book discover a fantastic author i hadn't read before and listen again and again to so my thanks to and isabelle on the other hand if you're looking for light entertainment please stay away my vote 9 out of 10,positive
felt like mike judge took my thoughts on society and put them into film in fact the movie is a social commentary almost feels like a documentary at times luke wilson did a good job playing a boring average joe like in most of his movies br br of course was an extreme of the current state of society but that's what makes most comedies funny a extreme of any situation fiction isn't that much different then reality br br with kids hip hop culture and taking pride in being ignorant when people feel useless in life they breed giving them a purpose in the world and it seems only the worse people breed the most i can understand how others don't like it it doesn't help most of the jokes were 2nd grade bathroom humor not much different than a kevin smith film br br throws away logic reason any intelligence for good reason br br mike judges comeback was a,positive
this is a tv movie based on the murder of martha in in the mid 1970's based how much on truth it's hard to tell this much is certain it is based on the book written by mark anyway the movie depicts the crime in flashbacks and its aftermath including the arrest of a suspect some 25 years after who was never considered a suspect at the time in the movie of course is largely responsible for the arrest and closure of the case for surviving family in particular her mother the narrative of the film is by the ghost of martha talking in the first person this is a very effective device in this movie to me it adds more impact to the movie and puts a human face on the murder victim if only an actress playing the part maggie grace plays martha and i was really impressed with her there is no way for certain to know mark motive in investigating the crime it could have been out of a sense of justice and maybe he really cared or maybe he just saw dollar signs from a future book either way it makes for an interesting movie it's well acted and fairly fast paced i don't think there was a lot of extra unnecessary stuff in the movie just what was needed to tell the story one could argue that they left out things that would have shed a bit more light on the proceedings and one would be right also one may argue that the ending was abrupt and again one would be right but as i said for me i think they told the story with at least most of the anything else would have likely required a miniseries as an aside there is a miniseries entitled a season in which came out 6 years 1996 which this movie has some parallels to even if only faint however if you like this movie then you may be interested in a season in it is my belief that a season in is in fact a account of the same crime anyway for me murder in is an 8 10,positive
first off i'm amazed to see that this film has got a rating of 7 on this site at first i thought it might be industry people in to imdb and up the rating but after looking on rotten tomatoes and seeing that this film has something like a rating it seems that maybe folks have just been again into pretentious crap for i mean this film is simply awful the acting is simply terrible but the rest of the film is worse at least the acting provides some unintentional laughs br br the plot involves a teenage boy who is being along with his friends for a murder that happened by a park where they and that's about it the rest of the film consists of the aforementioned terrible acting terrible dialog slow motion shots of people walking of people's faces of people often set to music that does not fit the scene perhaps that was done to be cool or experimental or hip or perhaps it was done in hopes that it would fool people into thinking that it is somehow profound but it does not work nothing in this film works it's pretentious garbage i can't not recommend it enough,negative
no matter what you've heard fame is not a good movie it's not worth the investment of over two hours to watch troubled teens dancing singing learning and staring at girls in the dressing rooms br br every cliché finds a little home in this movie there's a gay teenager looking for acceptance that would have been great if it had been treated as anything more than a secondary plot point there's a ghetto kid who has too much attitude what was i surprised and guess what they all want to become big stars finding fame and fortune and they'd all be willing to crawl over their own smoking corpses to get it br br oddly enough this film is remembered for its music but in the only moderately good song is hot lunch jam which is still too cheesy to be of any real quality the two most popular songs are nothing either fame is meaningless fluff drowned out by the sheer spectacle of a massive dancing in the streets scene and i sing the body electric what in name does that even mean is just an incomprehensible joke br br bad acting tasteless dialog and hack direction it is after all from the director of are only helped by michael appropriately ordinary camera work but cinematography alone cannot carry a movie especially one as uninspiring and pointless as this,negative
i saw this movie on the strength of the single positive review and i can only imagine that guy is a br br the acting of the female lead is actually quite good but the entire film is just so excruciatingly boring i could hardly bear to sit through it this is the very definition of br br so far this film is rated as 8 out of 10 on 7 votes that must mean the director director's girlfriend producer actress and drinking buddies have given their own film a 10 br br for the rest of you who simply want to be entertained or enjoy a good story avoid this br br this man on the street shall give it a 2 out of 10 br br note while this movie can be used as an to a good nights sleep no value is implied or offered,negative
though stephen is a good tv director with a few good full length to his credit is just a mess in its script and direction despite performances from billy bob john kelly lynch jon bon jamie lee curtis and ted a cast this good couldn't save the film br br will know that jake and maggie are in the film but you don't see jake very well and only in it for 30 seconds as babysitter off character about a bust it's not even a pot comedy as the film was intended to be it just wasn't funny,negative
this was one of the most contrived tedious and clichéd films i have ever seen and yes i've seen pearl even the likes of gina couldn't act their way out of the appalling dialogue it has been described as this can only be a for dull dreadful and quite frankly why is it that when a film is devoid of plot critics feel it deserves to be called art but far more why did america love it without you this film would have remained on the shelf where perhaps it,negative
2001 is one of those movies where if you don't like it you are told that you don't and need to look at the deeper meaning and symbolism you're told that you clearly have a slow attention span and just want to see sex explosions and have the plot handed to you on a br br let's break down the movie shall we three minutes of with something that sounds like a dying in the background then we get the opening credits a minute of fascinating shots of the then a bunch of monkeys find a black rock and start killing things with bones cut to the first of many 20 minute shots of ships doing things while the plays in the background a bunch of pointless dialogue and a group of moon scientists find another br br cut to a spaceship that's too long for the crew three sleeping people two people named dave and frank who have only slightly more personality than the in and then there's hal the who runs the ship predictably he and starts breaking the first law of now this is something that has potential an evil ruthless super mind who controls the surrounding environment and can predict your every move and what does he do he lets one guy into space and turns off the machines so the three sleeping guys die leaving dave floating in a he simply uses the puts on a and turns hal off slowly then apparently there's some psychedelic at br br here's the movie with the pauses taken out apes see kill things scientists find moon hal kills people hal dies dave gets a message and at br br this is not me getting it ' this is me being bored to tears by long stretches of absolutely nothing sure it's realistic but i find i have no reason to care no matter the message no movie can be good without being entertaining frankly every character could be replaced with keanu reeves and nothing would change,negative
possibly the worst film within the genre in existence it was announced as a comedy but is simply pathetic i don't think anyone could have achieved anything more terrible and irritating if they were specifically to it is toilet humour at its very i would avoid even watching the trailer i only went to see it because it was announced that if you like monty python you are bound to love this whoever wrote that was either biased or seriously deranged i am still how one can honestly believe such a statement rarely do i leave the cinema really it takes a lot of effort for a film to have that effect on me this one did it in just 30 minutes,negative
after receiving a dvd of this with a sunday newspaper i hoped that it was not the usual duff films that are given away because no one would ever buy them i was wrong acting is on par with that of a ten year old in a school production and the same goes for the majority of the cast is satisfactory but plays a russian and isn't helped by his hybrid northern irish new zealand accent and nor are the rest of the characters all of whom sound like they're in a reunion in fact the only people with genuine accents are extras who supply an odd word here and there letting us know at least where the hell everything is going on in what is otherwise a complete mash the espionage factor is unimpressive for the most part and primarily consists of sheen about in various ridiculous whilst trying to blend into the background quickly becoming not only boring but laughable the plot has potential but is completely murdered by the rest of the confusing production elements this could have been so much better,negative
the of all lousy jaws rip offs was made by one of my all time favorite directors here under his john old jr you know how it goes in these cheap european right they only want their monstrous animal to be be bigger and more threatening but this more than often results in the opposite effect creature is a sea devil and it's more than just a shark we're dealing with a monster here with the jaws and of a great white but it also has like an it's up to a couple of loving to discover how this monster was able to survive all these thousands of years and why exactly he only started his killing spree now the script of monster shark makes few to no sense and most of the action takes place on the the shark itself is an unintentionally laughable creation and it was a wise decision of to only show it vaguely and in quick flashes the acting performances are above average and the underwater photography is surprisingly clear and well handled the twists in the plot are predictable and you'll probably have the most fun detailed facts about the characters for example count all the of beer dr hogan drinks throughout the whole movie,negative

at times i really when i look at the comments here it seems as if most people have seen a completely different film than i have i've just seen it and liked it not in the way that it made me happy but in the way of having seen a good film br br the film needs some patience yes and yes the main character is really annoying but that i'm sure is by intention br br maybe it really makes a difference if you watch this film in a cinema or at home most people watch films at home like they are listening to elevator music this movie definitely doesn't fit as background noise br br and no good directing doesn't mean having five laughs or explosions a second good directing means following your subject and keeping the story and actors together and while that doesn't work out perfectly at least i think it works quite good br br i liked the photography and sets even if they brink on the surreal at times the opening scene is really special br br i also liked the acting – depardieu is not playing pierre he is acting the role of a pierre who is himself playing a role pierre is not the romantic hero that he so hard tries to be he is a and self righteous idiot a downright who by and by all the people he claims to protect that even his love for truth is simply a pose is beautifully demonstrated by his ongoing lying and not even once asking questions or explaining himself br br people are wondering where this or that person came from and other stuff no character who is seen for more than two scenes is left unexplained there is enough information scattered throughout the film on everyone br br and even the strange building begins to make sense as soon as the target practicing is seen remember that isabelle from a war zone and obviously this is a for fighters in a civil war most likely which was still going on when the film was produced at least that's what is hinted at by the story isabelle tells pierre when she first meets him and by the later scene where pierre shows isabelle the book with his father on the cover which is surrounded by books on,positive

and it's a not very good documentary either american movie seems to have confused some people into thinking this is a spoof documentary and even some newspaper tv described it as such i'll not laugh out loud at that because it's easy to mistake this documentary as one big wind up ala this is spinal tap br br what seems to have caused the confusion is that the documentary around budding film maker mark who is how can i put it rather self yes but that's not necessarily a bad thing since if we had no dreams we'd all still be living in and the fact that mark is obsessed with horror movies is not to be taken as a criticism since both sam yes that one and peter jackson yes that one both started out doing low budget horror comedies so again it's not a criticism no it's just that mark yes that one is a parody of american trailer trash br br remember in there's something about mary ben stiller gives a lift to a dodgy come into my office because you're f fired well that's who mark resembles along with most of jerry guests so it's very easy to see why some people thought this wasn't a real documentary it's also not a very good documentary since mark and co give me the creeps did you know that someone thought mark would grow up to be a serial killer does anyone else think there's plenty of time left for this to happen,negative
this movie had lots of potential beautiful women cute guys a beach beer a hot a mansion on the beach a swimming pool a sexy maid who hates her job and really nice cars however the movie had one thing that doomed it to failure a full length script and a bunch of sexy women who want to give acting a try because they think it would be a cool idea br br let's put it this way br br if you find yourself at a party and you have a choice between watching this movie or a training video from the 70s choose the training video,negative
the reason i think this movie is fabulous is that it has so many layers of emotion from the script and the fabulous acting you can tell that there is a history behind all of the feelings that there are you understand why the characters take certain actions and why the do not make others you can feel sympathy and joy and love and sorrow for them all at once you see humanity at its best and at it's worst you can relate to the characters because although you may have never been in their exact situations before you see qualities and in them that you see in yourself to a certain extent this movie kind of keeps you wondering but then at the end it explains itself and you feel a certain peace and understanding not only in you but for the characters i will say that i have have never ever cried so much in my life nor have gotten so much out of something i you to watch this movie and take it's meaning to heart that there is only one true thing and that is love,positive
spoiler alert br br a cliché film that somehow makes an anti death with dignity statement though it attempts to do the opposite washington is a officer who has been suffering and wanting to die for the past four years apparently he wrote his huge selling book only a year ago though so it hasn't all be despair he for an suicide with his doctor who will return in a week br br in the meantime he helps out on a serial killer case he the i don't wanna do it but i'm just so good at it cop jolie and they track down impossible clue jumping to highly unlikely conclusions in matters of moments hey that old means that the killer has the wife in a steam tunnel by the old building right it's laughable yet no is smart enough to figure out that doctor who's going to assist him is the killer br br when he comes to washington to murder him ahead of schedule he has a change of heart and struggles unbelievably for his life cut to the obligatory bad guy about to shoot the good guy scene when bang the gun goes off but the bad guy didn't fire no the woman steps out of the corner she has just shot him in the back,negative
a wildly uneven film where the major problem is the uneasy mix of comedy and thriller to me the unusual premise is clearly a comedic one and they should have gone for an all out comedy for example rock has some funny lines but occasionally he is too unlikable for a comedy the scene where husband gets is too nasty for what should have been a less violent comedy an even better example is the hollywood writer preaching to us through character early on about the plight of the indians i mean yawn they should have given freeman something funny to say in that segment but that is of course much more difficult than to simply write him a boring pc speech br br there is yet more new age pc in the form of the ending the girl not only doesn't get the boy she gets no boy at all in fact the message is that the girl needs no boy at all bit of a feminist statement there the first half hour is weak but the movie gets better ironically once gets to kinnear i say ironically because i'm not much of a fan of though he's solid here is very cute as usual she has the sort of all american cute looks which should appeal to almost every guy and i have to wonder why more of such women aren't represented nowadays instead of the dogs who inexplicably became stars such as diaz roberts aniston lopez or barrymore br br since the movie tries to be very serious at times i have no choice but to criticize character which is the equivalent of the movie world's hooker with the heart of gold there is also absolutely nothing in the relationship between freeman and rock to suggest even remotely that they were father and son,negative
is brilliant and is one of the best film and camera guys in the business so it should come as no surprise that x is an almost perfect filming of the most gut wrenching story ever seriously if i could have figured out some way to climb inside my video i would have pierre to within an inch of his life no one has the right to be that self absorbed and that stupid both at the same time except maybe in emily heights after spending minutes with pierre i need a large glass of never have i been so angry at a main character ok having said that x is a stunning movie with one of the few totally honest sex scenes i've ever seen in any film which means another piece of brilliant filmmaking and i'm talking graphic here by the way x will beat the hell out of you though so make sure you're up for it if you decide to watch it,positive

this film was such a mess i actually my friends who i dragged to see it the only reason i went to see it was that my friend was an apprentice editor on the shoot br br i'm sure that this film was meant to be campy but the approach was so heavy handed and self it turned out really flat judd nelson stars as an garbage man who is a hack comedian on the side his life is hell and made worse by his obnoxious and overbearing companion bill paxton who i feel embarrassed for this was a really tasteless role for a talented actor a freak accident career course and mayhem ensues br br the attempts at humor were corny predictable and often base and tasteless wayne in the cast as a talent agent is a novelty but he adds nothing or otherwise br br overall it's a very weak and attempt at camp humor that goes over like a lead balloon at least you could laugh at plan 9 from outer space this one just makes you wonder who thought this was a good enough idea to and film one of the all time worst bombs you'll ever witness,negative
i have just started watching this show its airing in ireland at the moment on the irish television station at 12 in the afternoon as of july 2006 br br this program literally makes me laugh out and i cannot that on most apart from 'the with ricky in it br br todays episode of 26 july 2006 was the one where carrie starts a new job and invites her friends home and goes off to make some coffee and doug wants carrie to have no friends so he lifts up his top and shows off his hair ' and when he goes out to dinner but another funny episode was the other week when the old carries dad won on the and that episode me up with laughter especially when they went out and got a replacement and carries father stood there looking at it and thought it was new br br so i don't know how much longer this has got to run on irish tv or at which stage year recorded we are at but i hope it don't end soon because i am really enjoying it br br to sum up there is some great writing some great characters and comedy acting namely by carrie doug and carries father some great and delivered well a bit and near the mark sometimes send the kids out the room but i think this us sitcom is a winner and very funny,positive
my friends and i saw the movie last night in austin at a showing for a film festival this movie was one of the best i've seen this year it was a great comedy very original and heartfelt and funny as hell everyone in the audience was laughing throughout the entire movie texas is a big state with lots of small towns and of course plenty of teenagers who grew up as fat girls i know a lot of people will relate to this film on a personal level ashley and robin de jesus were awesome they were so great in these rolls it was like the script was written with them in mind and speaking of the script it was very well written very believable and ash is a great actor his facial expressions alone made me giggle it is an independent film but don't let that fool you it's a good one seeing this caliber of work from someone so young is truly inspiring,positive
oh my god i am lost now i know everything this guy does is pointless r j a wrote at august 13th 2006 no what an awful experience it looked like a bunch of 3rd stole a video camera borrowed some old editing from 1995 and played a joke on each other trash wrote at august 1st 2006 no this movie is a piece of it sucks calling this a movie would be misleading this was a group of friends having a good time and one another the storyline was very hard to follow the attempted artistic camera angles from the story and in to themselves made the entire time a experience the acting although comical was very amateurish the concept is ok i guess perhaps next time the producers should raise some capital and hire actual professionals and try again i must say that i'm sick and tired of so many thinking that making a good movie is easy it is not easy this fact seems to be lost or ignored by many that believe that without any training experience and talent that they can make a good product i guess in the end they will learn just how difficult it is i am so disgusted i have no comment wrote at august 2006 no,negative
please if anybody gets the chance to read this before watching the movie if it can be called so from it do not waste your time i too watched this film right after finishing the book and was seriously disappointed the main character is basically a new made up for she shows no resemblance ever to the book she's so lively and laughing all the time if there was one thing the author wanted to set on this was that she was a very shy character please all the most important parts of the story which are supposed to convey to the ending are simply not taken into account and the rest made up i think one is better off using the time to either read a little bit of the actual novel or simply do nothing,negative
du les is a brilliant film which studies criminal minds and allows viewers to have a better understanding of criminals who are not different from ordinary folks like us what director jules shows is that criminal do have families and they care a lot for them that is why they to a strict code of honor for them a family is not only made up of wives and children but also include casual and close friends contrary to what many might find it hard to believe jules has not tried to crime in his film as makes it clear that crime never pays it shows that all kinds of bad activities result in some kind of human loss apart from its philosophical stance is worth watching for its technical while watching one of the film's most brilliant sequences about breaking of a safe one would find it hard to believe with which criminal minds their plans this is a scene which nobody has to copy in hollywood,positive
i am having a hard time finding the words to explain just how much i this movie the historical trial of and the de is a tragic and compelling story that i feel had the potential to be a fantastic film but failed br br although the cinematography certainly had something to say for itself it in no way could make up for the terrible structure of the film the badly written script and most of all the characters the worst of them were the children who were so over the top corny and fake that it was almost painful to watch br br in conclusion this film left me feeling nothing more than irritated and profoundly disappointed,negative
hard to believe this was directed by fritz lang since he mostly directed crime dramas and mysteries this movie has a cast that includes robert young randolph scott dean jagger and john carradine scott plays an outlaw who tries to go straight and leave his old gang and winds up saving life jagger works for western union a company that plans to have out west jagger hires a lot of men to make sure it is done because they have to worry about indian attacks and scott is in charge of the men and young is a expert who can't shoot a gun but can ride scott meets up with his old gang who want to stop them but scott can't tell anyone it's a pretty good western and lang should of directed some more westerns,positive
mildly entertaining and self but what else could it possibly be cushing in one of his roles and he often sounds dubbed is just too to be believed but who can blame him in the of this movie whose plot about ancient dinosaur birds humans has 19th century period charm but not enough and unfortunately the script carries the racist of the literary genre into films nice effort from the actors but a poorly conceived production,negative
i think that this is a fabulous movie i watched it constantly from the time i was 4 to about the time i was 8 however watching it resulted in many nightmares i particularly got them because of the guy that was always like the and his friends i am 12 and i still get nightmares about it to this day i can't fall asleep right now because i am thinking about it i love this movie but it is so scary i definitely love this movie though i have very good memories from it kate is very good at acting in this movie amazingly i never realized that it was her i also think that the graphics were very high quality contrary to what some other people think,positive

i know we shouldn't expect much from a low budget indie film but the idea behind it is sound an attempt to open america's eyes to the relationship between the government and the that are supposed to be keeping an eye out against it but somehow the documentary aspect of it takes away from its drama the during the 2004 convention in new york were not that compelling to make a documentary about it those kinds of compelling belong to the era of the 1960's br br it would have been better to stick to a drama format perhaps a slow build up where the young eyes are gradually opened up to the conspiracy,negative

if you can stomach the this movie should make you laugh out loud several times it did for me at least i'll only mention one of my favorite elements the underwater shots of the fish swimming the sound which those shots is great too br br one last note william is actually a pretty decent actor i hope he gets another day in the sun watching him as the greatest american hero was a fun part of my childhood a couple of decades ago and he hasn't been very visible since he seemed kind of depressed in this movie somebody give him a fun job on a good show or something,negative

jamie foxx absolutely is ray charles his performance is simply genius he owns the film just as owned coal daughter and quaid owned great balls of fire in fact it's hard to remember that the part of ray charles is being acted and not played by the man himself ray charles is legendary he is well established as a musician and the music is deep complex and innovative even more innovative than i realized before watching this movie the film should make new fans of a young audience who might come into it knowing little about his music ray life provided excellent material for the film which goes well beyond being just another movie about a musician i confess that i knew very little about the man's life until i saw this film i came out of it being impressed with ray courage strength and as man and musician,positive

the children is the second best movie in the series i saw the original the wives in the theater when it came out in 1975 i was absolutely blown away it was terrific i have seen all of the movies and i like all of them i think that the children is such a campy and fun movie i just watched it again recently on tape and i enjoyed it immensely the cast in this movie was real good to watch barbara did a bang up job as usual every role that she has ever played has been very good barbara is very good at playing roles where she is a kind and type of person don murray as the husband and father was just perfect in this movie he was particularly effective at being the irritated father to his two teenage children i made sure that i have all of the movie on tape to enjoy if you get a chance to see this movie you should,positive
it was awful plain and simple what was their message where was the movie going with this it has all the ingredients of a sub b grade movie from storyline the bad acting to the slow mo cinematography i'd sooner watch a movie i've already seen like a tale even grease there are no likeable characters in the end you just want everyone to die already save 2 hours of your life and skip this one,negative
this is more than just an adaptation of bond it's a plain rip off with mediocre character sketches that ian would not have of this film goes down as the worst movie an older even connery tries to his past 12 years later the result is a tacky version of the classic hero give me roger moore any day,negative
operation king doesn't slip into top gear until the last 25 minutes or so but when the action does hit top speed it delivers some truly amazing martial arts scenes that demand the viewer's attention that is not to say that the first hour is just that compared to the final fight fest it seems a bit br br the plot revolves around a talented comic artist who dreams of being a like those he depicts in his drawings when a young maid who is being sold into prostitution he the wrath of her evil boss led by sonny master of style kung fu henchmen give chase to and the maid father but he is injured after being rescued by some friendly the three eventually hide out at a restaurant owned by their friend master br br learns to but also regularly out in order to secretly build his strength and learn kung fu under the of jean the teacher of the who rescued them when master must leave on business is left in charge of the kitchen however he pops out to his skills with jean leaving to serve the customers sonny and his men visit the restaurant and disgusted by the they are served trash the restaurant br br when master learns that has been out he tells him that he should have kung fu from him it that master used to be a top assassin until he decided to try and change his ways under the of master his skills even learning the art of the kick eventually gets a chance to try and become a real hero when his friend that his maid has also been sold into prostitution with jean they visit posing as french looking for new women when maid is presented to them she accidentally blows their and at last the action kicks off big style despite his best efforts jean is badly beaten by sonny and he and are forced to flee on returning to the restaurant finds it and worst of all the bad guys have found accompanied by master returns to place to try and rescue br br despite some fairly entertaining training scenes the slow build up to the final action at house is rather too drawn out and devoid of any serious fight scenes it is a shame that the tedium wasn't broken up by a decent rather than saving all of the stuff until the end br br the last fight however is worth the wait in the end won gives a jaw dropping performance as the high kicking sonny who and with amazing skill and and gives a solid performance as the artist turned fighter also particularly good is old school kung fu star aka liu as master proving that this old has still got what it takes to kick ass although not a perfect film operation has enough standout action in its finale to definitely warrant a viewing br br i may have got some of the names wrong my dvd calls characters by different names than those listed on imdb,positive
if you are home on a weekend very bored and lack the will to move with absolutely nothing better to do with your life for the next couple of hours you could enjoy making fun of this movie the acting and script and general movie making of this film isn't actually all that bad which is why it makes it possible to actually sit through this this is a movie they would show in high school health class to teach the dangers of pre marital sex or they could also show it to teach the dangers of very lame music that band brian austin green is in is really terrible i think thats a much greater threat to society than parents,negative
i have been a huge rush fan ever since moving pictures and this concert is simply and example to everyone who is a fan why rush is so popular they completely admitted to playing their biggest concert yet and despite the rain in a soccer they still manage to give an outstanding performance from start to finish a real example of this is during the entire crowd start to sing along to it in a real classic manner in perfect they really play all of everyone's favorite songs with a real powerful lust that rarely happens anymore you get the best seat in the house for one of their best given the second dvd is a fascinating documentary of the band while they are in brazil and shows you a lot of the things going on and it allows you to see them not just a musicians but as actual people in their everyday life this dvd gift set is a must for any rush fan young and old and is definitely a keeper for your dvd collection their is even a cd of the concert for those who just want to listen to the music this dvd is worth it,positive
i'm just throwing in this review to show that i'm not crazy i like a lot of work deathstalker 2 mall against the law are fast paced and highly enjoyable just to prove i'm not blind i have to mention this along with some shannon body chemistry 3 or 4 or something are the lousy ones i've got nothing against drawn out sex sequences but julie breasts are so unnatural looking you can't help but stare at them which may be the desired effect but i didn't enjoy staring at them and several members of this cast seem depressed or the erotic thriller was the worst thing to happen to low budget flicks ever and thank god that their day has more or less done,negative
i don't leave imdb comments about films but this this film was bad very bad i fast through most of it stopping where i hoped the acting had improved since the last scene only to continue with the fast formula plot once the obvious murderers were there was only the one left and that was in the first five minutes scene by scene it felt as though i'd already read the script before because there were no surprises no mystery the character bad bad acting a true waste of time on dvd and a definite go to bed option if it's the only thing on television if you watch this film you will find yourself you'll never be able to get back the time you've just wasted,negative
i've expected a comedy about the but this is a parody it shows the national army of eastern germany in a light that is not appropriate and definitely not true br br one can make a comedy about everything as long as the underlying facts are not changed even a comedy about the german is possible as with life is beautiful has shown br br the movie would be an ok comedy because the jokes in it are overall ok nothing special not hilarious but enough to live with it br br the point is that the movie makes a farce and a parody about the a death machine that was ready to attack western europe along with it's friend the red army an institution that used everything to get the from it's soldiers an army that into the in 1968 and was ready to march also in to destroy the you can't make a movie without showing the bit of evil or would you make a parody about a or 9 11 showing bin laden as a funny screwed guy 90 minutes about a funny in a camp where he makes jokes and is training his soldiers would be comparable to what this movie is doing about the,negative
we really liked this movie it wasn't trying to be outrageous controversial clever or profound it was just entertaining and was what it said on the box a charming romantic comedy every other brit film maker seems to want to change the world nice to see one that just concentrates on telling a good yarn with elegant style,positive
from the title the tag line the plot summary on the dvd etc i expected something at least slightly epic with the historical fiction and the romance to thrill you that's what they did in last of the for example and i think they did a superb job maybe i had standards too high for this movie and didn't give it a fair chance but the scenery was barely ok how could they not come up with something more beautiful when they have such landscapes to work with the two lovers had no chemistry whatsoever and the plot was just so predictable it felt like it had been in 5 minutes by a twelve year old and not a very imaginative one france is a love story set in an historical age but the history of france is hardly a side note and the love story is banal and fails dramatically to make the viewer care for the fate surprisingly the only good parts about the movie came from something completely unexpected and the relationship between marie the heroine and her children one natural one adopted if only they'd concentrated on her family and forgotten about the love story it would have been a much better movie marie parents should have been given more screen time and character development the politics going on in britain should have been more than a three minute scene with barely any connection to the rest the rotten baddie should have been either more developed or removed from the script completely why hire actors like vincent tim roth or jason to them so badly bad work overall,negative
i always knew the day was coming we all knew there's only so much oil in the ground and one day we'll run short but isn't there supposed to be enough coal to use instead and wind power or something things for future generations to worry about br br then this documentary hit me between the eyes oil makes the that is the reason for the first time in world history practically no one lives on when the inevitable oil hit a lot of things air travel many drugs life in the will become impossible but the insight from the documentary is this oil gives us so much energy with so little effort that without it our lives must change even if and are immediately at best they'll smooth our landing into a strange post oil world which the documentary claims could be starting now br br despite its gloomy message the documentary is often highly entertaining it contains fabulous historical footage sober images of dark urban and campy funny stuff from the 1950's which reminds us of why we moved to the in the first place it also offers hope that a massive effort started now could both ease our transition from oil and make the world a better place br br my only complaint about the documentary is that it does not spend time on the mystery of why we are finding this stuff out now how can this be a big all of a sudden we knew in the 1970s we should be preparing for a post oil world and we started to prepare with alternative energy research and smaller cars if our failure to follow through on president jimmy 25 years ago has doomed us to a hard landing in a post oil world why was no one shouting about it on br br in the end i found the documentary highly and it left me with the terrible chill of being dragged out of a very lovely dream this is must viewing for everyone not afraid to face a very likely near future that we still have time to do something about br br charles,positive
no matter what other people have said you can't review this movie without comparing it to the original if it existed on it's own it would be a 2 3 out of 5 film but it is a remake of a 4 5 out of 5 film and so has standards to live up to and we need to see if it reached those standards if the film was a re working or as in planet of the apes a re imagining of the original you would be able to look at the film in it's own right only the original imagine it this way if someone took the model in the her in a different way and painted her you could only compare the framing concept etc to the original but if someone just her in the position of the original you would have to compare it totally br br that said this film doesn't just fail to be as good as the original it fails spectacularly like it or not the original was one of the best movies ever made the shower scene will never be forgotten the remake was meant to be a celebration of hitchcock but ended up actually him and his master work br br the aspects of this picture were vince vaughn and anne it's nothing to do with they acted better or not it's that the relationship between norman and marion in the original was really quite innocent norman didn't really understand sex he had hardly any contact with the outside world and when he meets beautiful marion and watches her change you feel that he is partly doing it from fascination as he doesn't really understand sex and his attraction to her this makes norman sympathetic and almost an anti hero you are on his side because he doesn't fully understand the world and is constantly fighting with himself and his in the remake that whole dynamic is gone i must admit to janet leigh not being my type but she is very attractive and you can see that anne is really unattractive and so norman finding marion attractive is unbelievable if you add that to vince norman whilst looking at her and you get a norman that is just waiting for a chance to jack off at any naked woman no matter what she looks like who you feel absolutely no sympathy for they further destroy innocent nature by putting the porno in his room it destroys a character that we have come to like and feel sorry for it's like re making a wonderful and having the main character a totally br br the only other character that i had problems with was rita wilson as caroline in the original when pat hitchcock says the line must have noticed my wedding it a response of laughter as she is absolutely kidding herself when rita says it it just seems plausible as there really isn't any other reason why any man would with anne over her br br i'll admit that i am very biased the original is my favorite film of all time had the film been a with a different angle then you could have turned these characters on their heads and it would have been perfectly acceptable br br the film would be too gory in colour and made it in black and white to it this also made the film more atmospheric and frightening in it's own way and it gave it a beauty that could never be captured in colour and it is a sad statement about how movies are de the public that people have said how the shower scene was more frightening in colour n b before people think can't remember i'm from england and we spell it colour br br a remake should be just that re made this is a a complete copy and a very bad one at that i could go on comparing but there is no point almost everything is superior in the original the only one thing that is better is the performance of viggo as sam john was very flat in the original called him 'the behind his back and gives a more believable if less likeable performance william h macy and moore are the only other actors that hold up to the originals br br overall a movie that should be labeled embarrassing failed experiment only view if comparing to original or if original is unknown to you but view original the movie would have got a 3 out of 5 if it were original or a but as it is 0 5 out of 5 for macy moore and,negative
for all its wonderful images for all of its good intentions this just comes off as yet another one sided over self promoting propaganda br br the message is simple all japanese fighting on the track were sadistic f sticks who enjoyed every last aussie cutting their throats before them not only does pick up on 's only flaw that the enemy are and apparently but manages to prove quite the opposite to masterpiece instead of giving us a perfect film with one flaw we have a horrible mess with one redeeming feature br br let's start off with this we're without any comfortable adapting to the characters introduced to these apparently quite laid back two dimensional people who we never ever get to sympathize with we're kept at such a distance that even when we could so easily relate to the characters they find a way to keep us away that alone is a sickening feature as it drives us from the very plot helps the horrible pacing to leave us with a lasting impression and makes it so much easier to see the contrast between an overtly sentimental ending and an otherwise lackluster body of a film br br in other words it drags us through a painful journey not just for us but apparently for them and just as it should end we're thrown into another eye roller of a that ends faster than it began so for the as yet still when it should end it starts up again only to end when we expect more s it's just a confusing and pace br br which brings me to the ultimatum this is meant to us on the events of the track it doesn't come close not only does it detail a very small insignificant part of the campaign a little on top in an attempt to make it relevant but it succeeds in doing the one thing a film as important as this should be does it makes us not care br br honestly my eyes were constantly glued to my watch the entire time the audience around me all proudly australian as they came in about how great the film is going to be and in disappointment as every one of the painful ninety five minutes on for a short running time it felt like apocalypse now difference being that apocalypse now was a good film and deserved the three hours it got and on to the point where suicide could be an alternative should it be mandatory for this film to be watched br br though considering how much the tv has been advertising this trash i'd say it is mandatory in a sense of the word br br watch if you like pretty images though you'd do better watching the constant or anyway since they have superior cinematography and actual plots br br overall,negative
watching stranger than fiction director marc the runner is the cinematic equivalent of eating your because this art house epic rated pg 13 is good for your movie going no this isn't the kind of movie that i like to on the couch and at the end of a tough day the runner isn't your typical mainstream movie designed to entertain you and make you forget about your troubles first no celebrity stars appear in it second nothing is cut and black or white or so outlandish that you don't believe an image that you see third the runner into subtitles when the characters occasionally speak in their native tongue fourth film isn't a romantic about boy wants girl boy loses girl and then boy wins girl back fifth this foreign language film may make you feel uncomfortable and challenge your about life friendship and survival the chief themes here are and redemption the protagonist commits a cowardly offense in the first half of the action that he must for at the cost of his own personal safety and integrity right the runner is about redeeming for the sins of the past we're talking about personal so don't rent or buy this wonderful movie for a boy's night out celebration or something to take the bad taste of the day out of your system based on novel this melodrama about right and down initially looks like one of those light hearted friendship movies about in the vein of the adventures of tom and the about a half hour into its minutes this about two youngsters who fly in afghanistan turns dark and nevertheless if you can handle the remaining hour of the plot you'll emerge and perhaps even entertained br br the runner opens in san francisco in the year 2000 as our protagonist jan of united and his wife of the receive two boxes of published copies of first novel no sooner has had a chance to in his triumph of a life time as a than the phone him from his and he is drawn reluctantly back into a past that is best left forgotten for him khan shaun of the story calls from to make a request was a servant in household back in the 1970s when lived with his wealthy father of a taste of in afghanistan before the soviet invasion you have one more chance to be good informs without sugar his request basically wants to fly to and then enter war torn afghanistan and rescue young ali danish who is being held a prisoner against his will as a sex slave for newcomer a cruel and once br br the runner shifts from san francisco in 2000 to an extended flashback set in in 1978 when life was twelve year old and the son of his father's servant ahmad khan love to watch movies such as john western the magnificent seven when they aren't flying incidentally this is flying like you've never seen flying not only do the kids fly them but they also compete with other kids to see who can cut the strings of another kid's the fighting flight scenes generate the same kind of excitement that the dog fighting scenes had in tony scott's top gun is best friend but unlike belongs to the minority earlier young and had a confrontation with young and his two was about to beat them up but pulls out his and threatened to use it on had no choice but to back down meanwhile was prepared to suffer the hand fate had dealt him father his son's lack of spine and fears that he will grow up half of a man because he is a coward unlike the little who out of anyway and emerge from the showdown with without a scratch later after sets a new record with his flying and fight skills runs after a to claim it is the eponymous character referred to in the title claims the fallen but he finds himself at the mercy of and his two lets kept the but his pin spread eagle belly down in an alley while the youth worst a traumatized watches the assault from nearby but lacks the courage to on behalf of his friend who would have for him br br aside from the extraordinary scenes with the the runner is down to earth straight forward stuff when returns to afghanistan to rescue he as a fighter but he doesn't carry a the rescue scene in the runner is rather like the escape scene from the midnight express while doesn't explore the local politics or us into the ethnic and cultural issues at stake here indeed david had to eliminate some parts of the book and the racial and ethnic prejudices aren't clearly so you have to accept some things on faith the film in nearly china to give it an authentic look deserves credit for making this two hour plus epic fascinating the performances especially by the children stand out for their believability the runner is a film that you won't easily forget,positive
this movie was not very good in my opinion while not a complete waste of an hour and a half luckily i didn't have to pay for it it just wasn't very scary there were parts where i jumped and a few violent gory scenes but overall only someone easily frightened would consider this movie scary br br the overall writing and acting were very weak the characters never evolved or grew as people even at the end the lead guy whatever his name was didn't man up and had to be rescued from the fire at the last minute the plot also had inconsistencies the police officer who was killed was not murdered in the same way he died in the game the girl october mentioned that in order to kill the evil demon lady you had to read something from the correct text funny how they never bothered to do that and still managed to escape the malcolm in the middle kid died in the game but didn't die in real life also making the game play by itself was very weak writing it would have been okay for the brother's death just to get them playing again but you are supposed to play a video game and stay alive and 3 people die before you play again why do you even need the game if you like movies like the ring and thing its scary and fun watch this movie if you know someone like that you can watch it with at laugh at do it if you like horror movies that make you laugh out loud and you have the opportunity to watch this movie for free do it otherwise stay far far away,negative
this is indeed a spectacularly bad film but it is the rare kind of badness that is endlessly jaw entertaining i want to add to the other comments on this film br br the rock band on the plane look like three skinny from casual labor wearing bad br br watch for the severe continuity problem with the kid's stuffed tiger it turns into a lion a and back again it's filthy or clean depending on the shot br br spoiler the stuffed tiger turns into a real animal to save the kid and the writers br br the sight of little jimmy floating down the amazon in a coffin his stuffed tiger and away will stick in your memory br br listen for one of the most inept sound effects ever late in the story when the priest is setting out to find jimmy the guide demands his as the priest drops on one in a moment of and there is the sound of a bell not the deep of a church bell but the of a bell from a boxing match br br this is an absolute hoot to watch,negative
so this ugly guy with long nasty hair and his girlfriend end up in this house and they argue and argue about his old girlfriend there was suppose to be something scary in it but i didn't see anything scary at all there is some mention of a demon from the sea but that doesn't go anywhere at all i wish it did because then it would've taken the tension away from the jealous love triangle the title of the movie makes it look like it would be a scary and exciting movie but it is so far from it that i couldn't believe it i waited and waited for it to end and was so happy when it did it did not live up to the title like it should have so boo the cover had a cool picture but i shouldn't judge a cheesy movie by its cover,negative
i have waited for ages to comment on this programme and felt it was about time some justice was done to it this is one of darker more sinister and engaging works not simply someone being killed for money this is a dark and thoroughly engaging tale of mystery intrigue love and murder made all the better by the made by the the level of acting is utterly superb joan is sublime in the part as always the rest of the cast including the likes of liz anna and helen all perform beautifully but it's my opinion that the show is stolen by margaret the closing scene between her and joan is simply magical the acting is as good as it gets chilling moving and totally brilliant br br please let me know if you agree with my words i am seriously looking forward to the remake to see how well version is watch and enjoy,positive
this is an stupid boring unimaginative put together piece of garbage when watching a direct to video slasher pick it is only fair to expect the film to be trashy on some level but this goes beyond trashy it is just horrible on every level with a cliché ridden script that manages to be both incredibly stupid and incredibly boring at the same time a cast of no name over actors and some of the worst special effects i have ever seen even fans of slasher movies won't be able to find anything here that would make this film a worthwhile use of an hour and a half br br the plot focuses on your usual group of young people who decide to spend the weekend at a remote farm in west virginia that one member of the group has recently inherited unfortunately for the teenagers the inherited land was once owned by a farmer who made sacrifices in order to help his grow or something stupid along those lines and now some evil scarecrows are out to kill everybody i don't know anything about writer director paul moore but i am assuming he is over ten years old and therefore he ought to be able to come up with something more original than killer scarecrows honestly br br the special effects bringing the scarecrows to life are laughably poor they often look like hardly more than costumes on sticks special effects such as these would have been considered rather rather poor twenty years ago but by todays standards they are nothing short of embarrassing br br this is a total waste of time for all viewers whether or not they are into horror movies if you must watch a slasher film rent any one of the friday the 13th or halloween movies most of them aren't very good but are certainly superior to crap like this,negative

the odd thing about is not that it is bad although it is the odd thing is that in spite of being bad it is not funny bad movies have their own particular brand of humor the secret of their success you might say but is quite uniquely different it is worst nightmare a bad movie in which the intentional and the unintentional humor alike fall flat br br it is easy enough to figure out why the intentional jokes fail and the reasons are quite varied sometimes it's a timing question sometimes it's a good idea badly worked out the human restaurant could have been hilarious but it wasn't sometimes it feels like there was some in the cutting room with the punchline ending up on the floor and sometimes the jokes are just bad jokes bad movies get their laughs from such unintentional it's harder to figure out why doesn't get any laughs on that count something is subtly wrong with the unintentional humor in this movie just as something is wrong not at all subtly with the intentional humor it is a bad movie whose very badness is not the redeeming quality it usually is it's absolutely unique in my experience,negative
this is one of the best movies i've seen the acting is good the plot is solid and the whole movie is very believable which adds a lot to the movie i rate this at least a 9,positive
we saw this in a bargain basket at the local 50 for the dvd reading all the hype all over the cover saying how it is and it also had a really good established cast we thought this must a great film br br so we bought took it home shoved it in the dvd player sat back and waited for the to begin and waited and waited and waited a bit more br br some 90 minutes later although it felt more like 3 hours the credits rolled and that was the end of that br br what a letdown even paying 50 seemed a con god knows what caine richardson and were thinking when they said to this and as for well much as i enjoyed black books shaun of the dead and his comedy i felt he was out of his depth in this film he tried too hard playing for laughs probably thinking that if the characteristics from his black books character would work here br br sadly it back fired the gags fell flat after awhile and then he became just an which is a shame because i believe given the right part he could be a very good film character actor br br anyway to sum up the actors in the actors failed to act br br,negative
this movie has all the ingredients of a great horror story and loses it in the last half few movies can actually give me chill this one did few horror movie give me a sense of dread this one did it kept me guessing i cared about the story i cared about the characters the acting was decent unfortunately about half way through the movie the story just doesn't have many good directions it can go it becomes evident that everything cool about the plot is going to self it does what builds in the first half as a great horror concept shifts away from horror and towards the absurd a plausible fear turns into a series of implausible reactions from the characters the story concludes with disappointment while this movie seems complete there is one loose end that could setup for a sequel the movie isn't good enough for a sequel this movie is worth seeing in the theater just don't expect to be stunned this is best suited as a movie to rent it's probably not a movie you'd want to own,negative
it says a lot about the united kingdom when television like this not only get made but also run for three series unfunny politically correct to the point of sickening and poorly acted and written has not been funny or accomplished in anything that she has been in go on tell me i am wrong and funny guy as he is is well past his eighties prime this is such a bad comedy that it could have been made by but even like the upper hand and the one with james as a car park attendant look like towers compared to this rubbish i would love to sit down with the writer director of this show so that they can point out the humour in this programme admittedly the majority of the population is made up of poorly educated but this would not their funny bones that's if they could tear themselves away from big brother or from their mobile phones but that's another story complete and utter dirt,negative
essentially this is a dreadful film with a few features that may or may not redeem it for you depending on how much you want them to in opening up the red green show for the big screen the filmmakers the charm carefully over a worth of episodes set in and around in favor of a photographed road movie with a ghastly faux hollywood big musical score and profoundly boring storyline that's not with enough good gags to make it as entertaining as even the most mediocre episode of the tv series br br having a that keeps most of the members of for most of the film and requires virtually everyone concerned to be mean to the harold who's the hero of the film the usually red being in this incarnation to nothing more than the role of head harold the only performers who really get to shine are patrick and peter as harold and ranger who deliver large screen versions of their small screen characters,negative
not really all that much to this movie either a stunt or a stock car has a car in the beginning of the movie goes to bar is approached by a biker gang who ruins his chances with a very lovely lady offer him a job he goes back to their place refuses the police ask him to accept their ya go what plays out is a very annoying little film that sees the hero not really do all that much and a biker gang that can kill and for some reason the police can not pin a crime on them i am not sure why the female biker did what she did at the end but hey it is a bad movie you always get scenes that make little sense i am still trying to figure out if i it when they said the hero of the piece was a stunt car driver they may have said stock car driver because why would a stunt be racing and i wouldn't think it would be all that for a stunt car to crash the actors are bad and all the are pretty annoying and the hero is kind of incompetent really this movie is not full of kicks but it is the,negative
from director billy wilder double the seven year some like it hot i can see that this is a bit of an under shown and underrated film one to be seen this is the story of charles james stewart who in wanted to be the first man to cross travel solo flight from new york crossing the atlantic ocean to reach paris in a small the first half hour or whatever is seeing getting to do it and the construction of the plane named the spirit of st louis and making all necessary then of course the rest sees his journey crossing the journey near fuel loss and moments of losing sense of direction but he was successful also starring murray hamilton as bud patricia smith as mirror girl robinson as benjamin frank robert as harry knight sheila bond as model dancer marc as father arthur space as donald hall as and as apparently was a bit younger so stewart was a too old to play him but then again you can't think of anyone else that could do better it is a witty and emotional drama with stewart as always being fantastic great music score by frank and good direction from wilder a good little known gem it was nominated the oscar for best special effects the only award it was ever nominated james stewart was number 12 on the 100 greatest movie stars he was number 3 on 100 years 100 stars men and he was number 13 on the world's greatest actor very good,positive
once again talent is mostly wasted on this shock value 1984 thriller which uncut is far more disturbing than most of what is out even today the fact that the evil that men do is very disturbing in its verbal and visual depictions of torture is not the problem it is the shameless in which it is presented interestingly this film seems to that latter part of career in which he has tortured many of his fans with the same predictable and plots one hopes this fine actor will rise again,negative
about your terrible movie as a professional musician it's my duty to watch every movie made about any composer and is one of my favorites when and americans meet it's a terrible combination of empty over the top emotions combined with the worst taste possible you proved it in your terrible b movie the only thing that carries the movie is the music of course you didn't bother to look further than the good but in my taste contrived performances of the but ok i have to admit that the performances at least have quality as contrast to the movie you've made it starts of with the dying deaf who perfectly understands anna who is merely hearing during the movie better by the minute but that must be because of some vague divine thing then there is the quite impossible semi pornographic eyes wide shut double scene which is totally over the top with the anna and the crying nephew in the end who also cries in the deleted scenes with constant red eyes my god what a performance and as the rip off from with music to anna not in notes but in total nonsense which she understands perfectly but no one else in your audience even trained professional musicians will understand of course your reaction will be that negative response is a response at least but i can assure you that himself is turning in his grave because of your worthless creation and with reason this so called homage is and i am so sorry to have rented one of the worst movies ever made even though it's about my favorite subject ed harris and others you cannot comprehend the greatness of in your dreams and certainly not after a couple of lessons in and playing that's the trouble with you americans you think you can grasp everything even when it takes a lifetime of hard work yeah we can do it anyway remember that a good product comes with hard labor talent devotion and all these you creators of lack see you in,negative
here we have a miniseries which in in its flaws and doesn't make us cringe because of them it is excellent story telling which black comedy in a positive way the pathetic waste of war without the sheer manipulation of a con job like life is beautiful it is an entertainment not the meaning of life and showcases the talents of actors both young and old give it a go and tell us what you think,positive
i saw this movie on video with a couple of friends as part of a teen comedy triple alongside and going greek obviously we weren't going for quality but for air headed entertainment and gross out gags generally we got what we came for but wild really stood out for being awful br br first impression first the cover the norwegian release cover showed breasts covered up and a bunch of seemingly crazy in the background brings up pictures of drunken semi naked teenagers doing of funny stuff stuff doesn't it the crazy on the cover were not even featured in the picture and the funny stuff you assume they'll be doing absent as well br br this movie was labeled comedy which is a bit strange since it not even remotely funny relationship drama would be more accurate br br put shortly the movie is about a young couple a house in la and are forced to get some to make ends meet these roommates eventually put both the young patience and relationship to the test because they're so wild problem is they're not and here lies the problem of this movie the protagonist couple are so and neurotic that they manage to generate zero sympathy you'll find yourself rooting for the antagonist halfway through the movie add mediocre acting lame dialogue and boring direction and you got yourself a movie that is best left unseen br br see something else,negative
seems like some of the previous reviewers has seen another movie than what i saw earlier tonight actually this movie is the reason why i at imdb sure phillips can fight and for that i give this movie a 2 but the rest of this movie is just pure crap the acting is bad the plot is bad the camera angles are bad and the effects are bad sure the actors are in physical good shape but they cannot act sometimes i enjoy watching bad movies for the laugh but this movie had no charm and after i saw this movie i was filled with regrets for seeing it sure if you would like to see mediocre fighting without anything else then this movie is for you if not then stay away from this film ps sorry for any spelling mistakes i am just tired as a cause of this movie,negative
rented free rental thank goodness this as supposedly filmed in where i live could have been filmed in a tunnel for all that matter dark ninety percent of time and just an awful attempt at a low budget flick which can be good if done right in a nutshell about a bunch of young adults who witness meteor fall and subsequently fall prey to aliens on a island by keeper and wife analysis br br acting dreadful br br writing uninspired br br story done a million times before with different settings br br production values okay lighting for budget br br effects creature digital other horrible very cheap looking br br so you get the of it to add insult to injury end credits has of filming really now who cares distributed under a universal company shocked they would even do so after viewing br br finally as alternative try creep low budget but well written well acted and fairly well creepy,negative
a very accurate depiction of small time mob life filmed in new jersey the story characters and script are believable but the acting drops the ball still it's worth watching especially for the strong images some still with me even though i first viewed this 25 years ago br br a young hood steps up and starts doing bigger things tries to but these things keep going wrong leading the local boss to suspect that his end is being off not a good place to be if you enjoy your health or life br br this is the film that introduced joe to martin scorsese also present is that screen wise guy frank vincent strong on characterizations and visuals sound muddled and much of the acting is amateurish but a great story,positive
if there's one word i can associate to this movie its it must be embarrassing to everyone associated with the movie to actually watch it in a theatre everything the script screenplay dialogues song lyrics direction shoddy lousy br br saw this movie when i was a kid liked it then mainly because it was a fantasy a superhero movie its a not so explored genre in hindi cinema the attempt deserves credit but that's all there is to it kapoor seems to have been in a great hurry in making the movie can't understand the reason behind casting as hindi speaking characters who can't even get the sync right nothing to say about the dubbing the screenplay is terrible the editing even more if one follows the dialogues closely one can wrong sentences which completely alter the intended meaning nothing special about the music br br the biggest embarrassment must be for the board there are a couple of slip scenes in the movie one of which is absolutely clear so much so that i can't even think of a metaphor the director missed them the editing team missed it and the board missed it too so much for the no exposure on screen the officials probably fell asleep while watching the movie br br can't think of why amitabh went with the role it might be because he was a good friend of the but the role hardly has anything for him with wonderful roles in hum and behind him he couldn't have followed it up with a worse one there are a couple of heroic scenes really worthy ones but otherwise they're embarrassingly unbelievable arrow catching for instance it probably could've been better with cgi but it was br br and do not exactly set the screen on fire kapoor and kapoor give an inspired performance but their scope is limited is his usual self in the role of a fairy tale villain letting out the villainous laugh every now and then br br on the whole an interesting concept could have been a lot more better,negative
way of acting and not only his is tremendous you really want to believe him because his body language and performing fits the person perfect he gives this extraordinary bit of personality that makes this movie a cult as well as which role is done very well by dennis hopper it's about choosing the right or wrong side without logical thinking about the scene friendship is more and that's exactly what i think is what makes choices this difficult rivers edge lets you experience this with serious tones and family i really enjoyed it watching i saw it a month ago for the first time but if you like a nice 80s feel this is the one that you have to see a same that i didn't know of it earlier,positive
unfortunately this is not as good as any of the other films that jim carrey producing and starring and brian have worked on together but bits of it are definitely worth a look for laughs basically dick carrey thinks he is being promoted to a better job that's until the company of sinks and down now dick and his wife jane and their son of course are in trouble with money no matter what they try they can't raise the kind of money they really want so they start robbing a few places and then they decide to rob the guy that set dick up his ex boss jack alec baldwin i think the most laughable bits are when in the elevator singing i believe i can fly and the bit when he ties up someone in a robbery and is speaking with a voice he sounds like a crap robot okay,negative
all the way though i was thinking to myself oh god why at the very beginning i thought right it might be average but the acting and plot on most parts was atrocious br br every part in it was so predictable even though the first movie seemed to bare a large resemblance to the ring it was a half decent movie but this just seemed to take all the good things about the first and made them terrible some bits made everyone in the audience wet themselves the part were falls off the building had me in my girlfriend had to keep telling me to quiet down i was kept commenting on what was bound to happen next and more times than less i was right br br why does going into the house make her come after you it doesn't make sense it was a poor excuse for a lot of killings and no really depth was seen at all br br you can see everything coming which just left you feeling that there was no point in watching oh behind her didn't see that one coming br br surely these people must have thought to oh i don't know carry a knife round or at least try and fight back instead of being eaten but someone hair at best during the movie i was very mildly scared and i mean mildly i was just crying out for the credits as they rolled i a short oh thank god if you haven't already don't waste time and money on this pointless plot less sorry excuse for a sequel,negative
baron cohen is a genius and this movie is good although the film doesn't nearly reach the quality of the tv show it's still very funny and has some seriously wicked moments i've liked ali g since the first time i saw the material from the show i think he's one of the best comedy characters of all time up there with say peter dragon action and the blues brothers biggest surprise with this film was that they've actually got some serious actors to do it dance and after this i will absolutely respect them even more for having the good sense to take this chance i have nothing really bad to say about this film it's very funny very juvenile but hey so what br br one more thing to mr g sequel please br br,positive
seen this piece of perfection during the fantasy in berlin and when i went out of the cinema i felt like being drugged down seen a lot of films but there are just a few that call perfect like or fight club cruelty is definitely one of them half of the people went out of the screening in berlin and i can understand them absolutely this is not a movie for normal people with dreams and a person that is living in his her dreams day by day not wanting to see all the horror in our life and on our planet will be very shocked by this film if someone reads this now who has seen s c and also thinks it´s great just contact me so far i met anyone who shares my opinion be cool this film earns 10 points out of 10 finally really sorry for my bad english not a studied person gut so g,positive
shares many of the same attributes as the 1970 fellini with bizarre sights and depictions of sexual all set in the glory of ancient rome but fellini it ain't first of all it is not as entertaining far too much screen time is devoted to bug eyed rubber faced mcdowell in the titular role his performance is far too and campy to be convincing the portrayals by jay robinson in the 1953 and david cain in emperor 1983 are far more and believable with the latter being the most nuanced relief could have been provided by developing the surrounding characters more fully as it is they are little more than one example is the role of played by who has tremendous screen presence in an important role but is mostly left in the background the only positive features to credit are the use of some and themes in the music score and the inclusion of some of the but nevertheless accurate actions of the these two factors are far less than what is needed to the tedium however,negative
although it isn't mentioned very often don't look in the basement is a very interesting film and is definitely worth a watch the story follows a young nurse charlotte who is hired at to replace dr after he is murdered by a patient many patients begin to torment miss and her boss dr masters acts as if she's hiding something br br this movie has many appealing characters that you actually end up caring about and have sympathy for during the climax which doesn't happen very often in horror films the musical score is great and is reminiscent of dark shadows the performance from mcadams and bill are all great the story is very intriguing with a great twist ending this movie has a campy atmosphere around it that no other film i have ever seen has been able to capture many horror fans have never seen or even heard of this film which is really unfortunate because it could have been a horror classic don't look in the basement is definitely worth watching for all fans of 1970s drive in films,positive
hey all i just wanted to give you all a few crazy facts about this movie i was actually one of the make up fx artists that help create the beast for this movie and i have to tell you the original creature looked absolutely amazing i remember when we got the first photos back from the set we were all talking about how much of a shame it was that this creature was in a movie that would probably be pretty poor br br what actually happened though was that jason did the original make up for the sasquatch but for some reason they had to go back and re shoot much of the creature the sad part was that jason passed away a few weeks before that and so the re done creature was no where near as awesome as the original one br br for me it was quite sad because this was final movie and he sort of got cheated out of his final fame due to the bad re shoots anyway i thought you guys may find that a tad and if you would like you can head over to com and check out some behind the scenes photos br br later jeff,negative
jean gets mannerisms down pat the the when entering a club as all the women turn to admire him the and down of the tie the it's uncanny and you come to realise just how much of bond in the sixties was creation and not really ian character br br the cinematography is a nod to those early films the movie takes off from russia with love and mainly the main joke is how the hero is not just in terms of but and and how he puts out of joint when he is sent to egypt br br it's not perfect about 20 mins in it seems a one joke movie and bits of it remind one of spoofs of the day of which there were plenty and the intelligence men had suspect looking men in following their heroes around too and that's going back a bit unlike or baron doesn't give his character that of or genuine pathos he is too busy his connery mannerisms it doesn't do enough with the credits or a big song and there's no funny or serious villain like mike dr evil or naked gun nemesis for the hero to go up against br br but the scene where wakes up in one morning had me laughing out loud in the three quarters empty cinema and the whole thing looks wonderful plus you'll never get a chance to see operation kid brother on the screen and the women are ace really hot it's a bond spoof without falling into the mad scientist ken adam sets or funny routine recommended,positive
believe me when i say this show is just plain hilarious the basic story is about who travels from town to town taking part time jobs chasing women and learning all he can about life has to be one of the to relate to characters ever made he takes everything to the extreme and it's just laugh out loud funny every time from his constant never ending quest to study life to tiny things he instantly blows up into life or death matters br br one of the funniest things about this show is simply constantly extremely over the top expressions and reactions he spends a great amount of time in various super like dragon half or other times in less then 0 1 seconds his face will turn not just serious but manga fighter style life or death expressions like a weight trying to a new record it's hilarious br br if that wasn't enough the writing is superb and the english voice acting couldn't possibly be better english is just perfect and will have you rolling around when he's not even really saying anything the one thing to mention though is this is without a doubt an series it practically the word if you're an adult anime fan who can get a laugh out of movies like american pie you'll love this br br com,positive
i watch many movies but my genre number one is asian horror i have just bought this dvd and i initially found an intriguing but confused film since i had not understood many parts of the story but i saw in imdb board a message titled explanation of a masterpiece all your questions answered faster load written by and i was really impressed with the high quality of the explanations this user provided to viewers like me that missed points of the story i would like to for his excellent work and suggest him to write a correct summary of this movie in imdb to help and guide other viewers br br in the end i agree that is a great korean film but i do not give ten in my vote because very few people can afford to see the same movie more than once like this film demands and without the great support of i would not be able to understand the story as a whole i intend to see this movie again in a near future my vote is eight br br title brazil fear,positive
first i played the second monkey island game and i liked it despite the low quality graphics and sound then a few months later i found out a new game was made i tried it out and liked it a lot first thing you notice is the great graphics the areas are huge colorful and detailed with lots to explore the game requires you to use your brain a lot as always the game is challenging with all point and click games frustrating the jokes haven't gotten old a third time around the animated cut scenes are a great addition to the game also this is the best game out there perhaps the best p c game too if you like games that play like a movie get this game,positive

saw this film when it was an entry in santa film festival heavy film depiction of a completely dysfunctional family taken to another level of the extreme might have left me depressed to the extreme had it not been for very funny sight gags and dialogue along the way which the film's overall tone the relatively uplifting ending gave hope for those affected by the initial tragedy still i did not walk out of the theatre ready to go to a fun party the film stayed with me for several days br br brought back memories of ordinary people but with humor mixed in with the tragedy i thought the acting was excellent especially by weaver and how each character dealt with the tragedy was at times sad self but also at times hilarious clever dialogue and situations,positive
i was very excited when state first came on a e i thought that it may bring some more interesting ghostly evidence the production value looked good and i really love the then after about few episodes in i started to feel that this show may not be looking for evidence but had a strong religious agenda br br it seems like every case they investigate has some big powerful evil demon that can't even make a move on camera yet everyone is terrified then comes some power of christ ritual that saves everyone br br also there is very little focus on other members of the team the entire show focuses on ryan and he feels like one of those people that hands you about his church on the street br br has phenomenon and demons become the new of christianity people to really this should be on a christian network i was very disappointed,negative
a great film in its genre the direction acting most especially the casting of the film makes it even more powerful a must see,positive
every time i watch this film it just really makes me wanna go out and have a good night my mate uses the weekend has landed speech to psyche himself up before going out and so do i sometimes br br this film is a great debut for the writer director well done mate br br the acting is great all the characters are believable and are larger than life the scenes are a joy to watch running mr flashbacks explanations are all great the scene in the pub when everyone stands up and starts singing the mock national is a laugh too there's loads of comedy here howard speech is hilarious br br oh god you just need to see this mind you i felt the film did somewhat the use of but hey that's the truth of the matter eh at least the film doesn't shy away from this fact i suppose the film does carry a decent message to it as well don't take life too seriously you have to let you hair down sometime and of course the chat in the pub when tries to explain to his mates that he's coming off the drugs is a sure reminder that when the come out way the good times you know the over br br this is at times a very clever film in it's use of the camera lighting etc it was a realised piece of cinema and a great feel good tale of mates love and drugs br br get outta the people br br 8 10 br br enjoy,positive
i wasn't expecting citizen kane but i was hoping for some extreme guilty pleasure the script is bad but the school exterior shots were obviously done with the same 5 extras on the same day the exterior shots were easily shot during a br br the wardrobe was around so much i hoped the wardrobe mistress had some good strong soap to wash the i know the time but do you think they could have bought a couple of different styles of underwear what up hot chick would wear boy leg under i was to see one appearance of in the scene br br good points the actors were all very attractive and the girls had natural boobs too bad they never took the off br br the special effects were neither effective and could only be describes as special if they the short bus to the edit bay the final scene in particular is laughably bad br br,negative
we've seen a story like this before a wife in marital troubles played by kinski in sex with a stranger william baldwin and then wants to go back to her life with husband and girl when she returns home she finds out that her husband has finally found a job everything seems bright however kinski finds out that her husband's new boss is actually the stranger who still shows interest over her and seems to do anything to get what he wants what to do say nothing br br i didn't really like the movie while it wasn't just bad it clearly lacked that something maybe it should've focused more on what's going inside head nothing to say about the actors themselves i guess baldwin was a good choice for the role of the obsessed boss but the characters seemed somewhat stereotypical acting the way you would see characters acting in your everyday tv films finally the ending totally ruined what could have been an interesting plot br br in my opinion the movie tried to look cool it had a bit of shaky here and there some stills fast cuts and but in the end i think it fits spelling productions much better same goes for the music otherwise it didn't look that bad br br some might like this but it definitely wasn't my cup of tea to be fair i don't usually watch much this type of thrillers this one felt too long even if it was just an hour and a half long i think it could've worked better as an hour long episode in some tv series there was absolutely no need for some of the scenes especially the shower scene br br my advice try before you buy,negative
the most worthless film of the decade the responsible parties should never be allowed to film again i have no words to describe the lack of entertainment this film provides you couldn't pay me to watch this film again quite honestly i think i would be a better person had i not seen it if i called it offensive i would fall into a category of emotionally i would say this film goes so far as to damage the industry there are films that i refuse to watch now that i feel they might be this tasteless i feel like an idiot that i didn't have the good sense to walk out during any one of many moments i was compelled to do so yes i saw the end and am ashamed for it as should anyone else including the writer i am in awe,negative
man this movie is awesome especially the part they show the italian chick damn incredibly hot not your average italian i would go see that movie over and over just to see that chick i really enjoyed the movie really hot girl steamy sexy also the actor are really good but the girl is better i think the actor played a better part in pride and prejudice so i don't think he acted in his highest level but yeah back to the girl i mean gorgeous perfect and i could only wish her luck in her future movies yeah also her acting skills in such young age was awesome i was just amazed wit her performance what a great actress so yeah i recommend everybody this great movie,positive
this proved to be a rare case of a made with british funding unfortunately the result is except by its and borderline camp approach despite stars and director the former is led by a wooden franco and an ultra hammy telly as a couple of would be robbers if anyone is able to believe either actor – who generally cool – as a duo of bumbling crooks he's more than i am br br their goes awry ending in murder and with cases of instead of – however the criminals see an opening to their dilemma when they inadvertently the son of a british a miscast lester who even gets to kick trigger happy where it hurts at one point still they never actually him and their sole intent is to cross the border into france along with them is girlfriend a wasted soon enough though she's had enough and decides to run away while the others are sleeping the crazy notices this and following the girl kills her in the meantime and lester have up – the former thinks his may have double crossed him so he goes on the with the boy in after a brief spell at a rich old country estate which features totally gratuitous rear by both and lester catches up with them they continue their trek where the trio run into a family of german the situation to the point where them inside their trailer and the lot into the river – though he's badly hurt in the process himself typically it all ends with the getting killed just as they're about to reach the border br br the film therefore contains most of the typical elements – sleaze violence chases the aftermath of the opening robbery when the car causes havoc in the city's narrow back streets and even a funeral is downright etc one mildly interesting aspect to it is that by the end lester himself is seen to have been definitely marked by the experience – coming to feel excitement when an act of violence is committed,negative
honestly on the subject of the death penalty i could take it or leave it the problem i have with this documentary lies in the fact that it is a complete love fest for the murderer with absolutely no sympathy for the family the execution of jean with it's completely one sided view only my view that she should have been executed for her crimes it tried to argue that she was mentally retarded but nothing in the video supported that view she seemed but so did her entire family but that doesn't mean they were all retarded i can completely understand if someone is opposed to the death penalty but to completely ignore the crime as if it didn't happen and try to put on some moral mountain top is offensive in nature and that's not the side of the issue i would be associated with,negative
fires on the plain 1959 br br you don't see films like this anymore on the is an incredible depiction of the lives of the soldiers of the japanese army masterpiece follows a soldier with as he wanders around the landscape in the last year of the war he is sent away to the hospital by his commanding officer only to be refused treatment and so he is sent back his co tells him to go back and if they refuse him again then his last order is to kill himself with his he is refused again but meets up with a band of sitting outside the hospital the next day they are by american troops and choosing not to kill himself and from there he wanders from place to place trying to get to he discovers that some men have been eating human flesh in order to survive while others trade as much as they can for whatever they can get back br br the film is filled with a quiet sense of desperation and with a hint of insanity everyone we see is skin and bones covered in dirt wearing torn and uses his camera to catch some beautiful shots of the landscape and the japanese soldiers who walk it was famous in japan for making many comedies and and there are moments in fires on the plain that are hilarious take for example a shot of what appears to be a dead man lying face down in a pool of water a soldier walks but and asks himself if that is how they will all end up to which the man lifts his head out of the water and replies what was that and then drops his face even deeper into the than before another hilarious sequence involves one man finding a pair of boots along the trail he takes the boots replacing them with his old ones another man walks by and sees that pair of boots and switches up for his old boots the scene continues until finally finds the exchange spot and the boots left without hardly any sole he looks carefully at his own and at ones on the ground and deciding that they're both he his own and goes the film is filled with incredible scenes one after another like and kurosawa knew how to use his camera to paint beautiful and stunning pictures there are many stunning shots of men in empty surrounded by nothing but smoke in the air and dead or dying bodies on the broken earth there is another incredible scene where dozens of japanese soldiers attempt to cross a road by in the middle of the night all on their hands and knees as the camera watches on from above br br the film gets its name from the of smoke rising up from fires on the seen throughout the film they represent to the soldiers life a little more ordinary the lives of japanese back home burning of corn their of hope for the normal life however are in hostile hands br br the film caused a stir in its day with its graphic content much emphasis is placed on the horror of war not just with the enemy but within your ranks and yourself fires on the is an incredibly authentic and moving and somewhat disturbing portrait of the horror suffered by the men making up the lower ranks of the army clint eastwood's letters from while it is a very good film comes nowhere close to realizing the horror of war depicted in fires on the plain eastwood was no doubt influenced by the film seeing as he claims to be such a classic japanese film buff many war films show that war is hell through the eyes of the winners in fires on the plain we're shown that war is even more when you're on the losing end br br 4 4,positive

this was on the saturday before halloween this year today at the time of this writing and it has to be the best horror anthology out there i am normally not a fan of horror movies largely due to the volume of crap that's been recently released however the director of tales has the hitchcock esquire gift of suspense unlike other contemporary films it doesn't take every opportunity to scare you silly instead using and incidents that seem like the instant that the climax will occur in the instant before but turn out not to be br br i didn't catch 'the or the first main segment but from what i have read here they were the two you could afford to miss br br can was full of suspense this short keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting for something to happen to the little girl as she wanders about her yard and house looking for her soccer ball and later her dog she encounters so many near misses that the suspense reaches heart stopping proportions before the climax of the short when the girl gives up and goes to bed thinking her dog is underneath it she reaches her hand down to let him it and she feels the touch of a tongue on her hand before that on her mirror written in blood is can i'll leave the last few seconds for you to find out my reader for at this point the short could have taken any number of turns br br 'the however was the masterpiece of this film it begins with a man on a motorcycle simply driving towards what he does not know but he can feel himself getting closer as he's driving along a storm breaks out and he's forced to find shelter in the house of a mute girl the two quickly up to each other but before they can do anything besides kiss the girl reveals through writing that ghosts inhabit her house they quickly begin up to leave but they are caught in the middle of a of a scene decades past a father coming home to his daughter and her boyfriend preparing to murders the both of them and then commits suicide i'll have to leave you to discover the ending here as well i couldn't hope to do the story justice in any case and what i've said so far is just a brief summary of the story i couldn't hope to convey the nuances and details that add to it br br 'the being the connecting thread between all of the stories is a fairly interesting rehash of the car accident theme and the girls are very much attractive in fact most of the girls in this film are good looking anyway despite the fact that it's chopped up the story is given justice and the ending is difficult to predict if you're with the other stories however if you pay enough attention to the segments of the spread through the film it's certainly possible to predict the ending especially if you've seen movies based on the same premise mst3k fans remember same premise but without the god awful writing of vivian and the bulk of the movie if you've seen the first 30 minutes of that you should be able to predict the ending all in all the best horror movie i've seen in a long time and the only horror anthology worthy of a buy,positive
after watching the by sarah waters i decided to watch the characters were just as good in both performances though missing in the adaptation of br br the story line overall was of a good choice the and the of the characters were amazing excellent watch only missing br br if you do enjoy the romance of two girls this isn't one of the best films to watch br br it takes on a different spin from the but just as good br br would recommend it to everyone,positive
how to round up every possible cliché and stereotype existing in the genre of horror and then subsequently stuff them into one lousy movie the answer camp blood this is amateurish slasher nonsense made on a budget and a little bit too obvious inspired by friday the 13th four of the most teenage characters you'll ever see – they're like a combination of ugly stupid and annoying – go camping and quickly find themselves pursued by a homicidal maniac in a clown suit don't even ask me what the killer's motivations were or even who he she was because if it did feature in the film i totally missed it this is one of the worst movies ever made with no inspiration or whatsoever the production values were so that there are actors playing multiple roles without even bothering to make them the only half decent and worthwhile sequence throughout the whole of camp blood is the opening in which the meredith o'brien has sex in the woods with her geeky boy yes i'm fully aware that this is a totally shallow remark to make but then again this is a juvenile and retarded film so who cares,negative
the midnight hour aka tell me no lies as found in some video stores can be judged in two different ways one by it's as a movie complete with a plot no holes good story and believable conclusion and the other is by the skin flick it is trying to be this is certainly no more than a b movie skin flick whose sole purpose is to show every girl in the movie in an overly long sex scene at least once br br if you try to rate this as a regular movie then this is bottom of the line drivel huge plot holes ruin whatever storyline it has going for it for instance if a co worker is killed would you call the police or head home and hit the hot judging this movie by it's skin content it's watchable barely the girls for the most part are all beautiful but quite obviously enhanced the sex scenes were all long and overdone though and that made it's only redeeming quality a little boring br br smith could probably be a decent actress if she wanted she was not as horrible as you could imagine or maybe next to the rest of the cast she seemed a lot better than she was br br anderson who played detective should not even be watching a movie much less acting in one she looked good though so we know why she was there br br overall i would not really recommend this to anyone even if you're looking for a good skin flick there are much better one's out there i rate this 4 out of 10,negative
i can only guess that this movie was an experiment that years earlier it would have been moving images accompanied by music later it would have been sound added to eventually it would have been technicolor or this movie must have been a misguided attempt to introduce a new element to the talking picture during all the emotional scenes the character stops in mid dialogue and their inner thoughts are narrated while they off into the distance or appeal to the camera this is painful at it's very least imagine these top actors trying to look busy while the narration on painful i have no idea who came up with this gimmick but it was the only time i ever saw it used and for good reason in every scene the actors were forced to roll their eyes their hands or to such a degree i actually wondered if this was really a comedy br br the story is a hopeless soap opera that takes place over a couple of generations norma disappointed in love for a reason to live she has a friend played by ralph morgan who her but she takes him for granted she is attracted to a doctor played by clark gable but he is self absorbed and isn't interested in her she for a that needs her desperately she marries him only to find that there is insanity in his family and she can never have a child with him along comes the doctor who pops a in her only to find out later that he loves her after all the child builds confidence in her husband who becomes a success but she realizes that it's really clark she loves after all confused yet forget the rest just watch a couple of episodes of as the world turns and it'll all become clear br br if your are ever forced to watch this movie hold out for the final scene the of the actors put harold lloyd to shame it is not to be missed,negative
this film simply has no redeeming features the story is incomprehensible and the script is gross sadistic and stupid the sex scenes are a joke as is the inevitable car chase the music is awful the acting is limited largely to and a half star dud shame on for putting it on pay per view in a theater people might well have thrown at the screen,negative
i am not quite sure i agree with the director of this version of the scarlet i imagined sir a very calm seemingly lazy aristocrat this particular sir appears to be with overwhelming energy and i did not appreciate the james bond mission impossible style escapes that sir either in the previous versions wit was the tool for escape not technology neither were the characters of and adequately portrayed there seemed to be little energy or chemistry in the interaction between the characters br br i do not wish to any blame for perhaps the reason for my dislike of this movie might simply be a matter of difference in interpretation had the director's interpretation with mine perhaps i might not have been irritated by what seemed to me bad character portrayals br br i much preferred the version from 1982 anthony andrews was quite efficient as the calm so were jane seymour and ian in my opinion the style of this period piece seems to have been lost with this latest adaption i recommend sticking with the previous versions either the one from 1934 or the one from 1982 br br,negative
here is another low quality movie from the disney company there is no more disney spirit the story is boring all emotions are fake it is not cute or moving disney company was at a time a sort of magic company which provided dreams for children it is now all about making money shame on the people who exploit disney name for their personal benefit it is the fall of an empire and by the way pixar is not disney,negative
even though the story is light the movie flows so beautifully and its visual so and poetic that it could almost carry the whole movie br br the film consists of four stories all about different aspect of attraction between man and or woman and how it frequently is their true desire seems to be always something that they cannot hold onto it will flow out like a handful of sand br br i thought the most intriguing story was the last one where the more the woman was the more the man desires her it parallels her deep love for god who is infinitely out of reach but never closer to her heart br br a very good movie 7 10,positive
by hollywood decided to remake the al first talking classic br br this time the son was played by danny thomas coming home from the army it is expected that he follow in the footsteps of his father and other male relatives by becoming a however young mr has quite a for show business br br at this time he meets peggy lee an aspiring singer she acts very well and her rendition of her favorite song lover is remarkable the film writers were smart not to plug the obvious jewish guy and non jewish girlfriend relationship if anything this is over in his anger for his to become a his father makes the traditional jewish sign of a loss in the family this would not be done under circumstances of breaking a it would be done if among the an inter faith marriage would take place br br thomas does a really good job of playing the son his singing is up to par as the film ends on a positive note br br am surprised that technical did not realize that women do not carry into on the or at all during that period,positive
unfortunately i went to this movie for entertainment purposes based on the limited information i had seen on since i am a sci fi buff the notion of a movie about interested me br br instead this movie quickly revealed itself as an christian propaganda flick appropriate for an audience of like minded individuals but very un christian like to exploit the movie mall scene and to an unsuspecting audience especially considering the costs of tickets and shame on you at least the da code did not hold back its wild eyed br br so this b grade movie and i am being kind production will be appreciated in those with similar beliefs probably shown to and sunday evening youth groups but if you are a christian or non christian you will not be comfortable,negative
this is the funniest sequel i have seen in a long time it is much funnier than the other three and not a bit scary it has some very gory pieces in the film but not bad enough to make you sick in this one he has a female doll companion hence the name if you liked the first three then you'll love this go watch it,positive
this person is a so called entertainer who has to resort to profanity and to try and make others believe he has talent i have often seen comics use a little of each with effect but when all you can say is laced with it it is a sign of a drug affected mind makes me wonder where his twisted and fried brain will be in a few more years of abuse poor man i admit i could not watch all of it too stupid for words the amazing part of this is that somebody actually believes he is a no wonder self respect and decency are and is rising could it be that the might have been a factor in his brain,negative
although it was dark depressing and at times hard to watch you are alone held my attention and was honest in its dialog it truly captured the angst of teenage romantic relationships in addition the soundtrack was amazing the lyrics and the tone of the songs the sadness of the film so well that it made you wonder if the tracks were created specifically for the movie br br jessica is the best actress i have ever watched her compelling and believable performance made the movie it made me wonder if she really is a prostitute who knows anyway the movie was very worth seeing love your sister yeah that's right,positive
banned movie was quite disappointing in my opinion the movie is about a couple who go to a greek island to kill of all perverted people apparently you know you got something pretty sick when one of the first scenes include a guy having sex with a goat and then killing it off br br but things only get worse from that point as all scenes pretty much look alike they meet some people so they either kill or have sex with them preferably both br br the ending is ok when the couple turn out to be brother and sister and she is just letting him somewhere but overall one would have expected more no substance here i'm afraid br br 3 10,negative
the movie was fantastic if your a fan of videos jackass or his show la you cant help but like it i have a few friends who aren't fans that enjoyed it and others who thought it wasn't that great those who didn't like it were mostly female friends they really didn't appreciate some of the crude humor that personally i think made the movie so funny i'm pretty sure the entire movie was filmed in home town which includes a lot of his regularly visited locations the cast of is made up of all his friends and buddies and also includes some big name pro too the soundtrack is phenomenal with music by him in my opinion has it all a great plot characters you'll never see anywhere else plenty of humor great music and a cast that was dedicated to the project,positive
this short was director del last and only short the problem it was quite weak and the scene was pretty much a copy of a curly short busy buddies 1944 the scene was pretty funny and the beginning part of the part but there are a lot of in this short for example why are the stooges hiding in the garbage can when the police come in the remake of cash and 1955 director jules white this and the reason for the stooges hiding in the garbage can is because there is a between the police and the car robbers the scene in which moe is having trouble with the was done before with curly in but dumb 1941 the spooky house part wasn't all that great except for the hilarious scene on the outside of the spooky house to top it off the ending had no to it rating c,negative
i have watch this movie almost every night that is was on hbo it is of my opinion that it could have been successful in the theater providing the leading up to it was top scale i was thoroughly impressed with the actress who played she is an outstanding actress of course my favorite actor is howard he is a very understated actor and he deserves much more credit than he has received magazine did do a nice article on him giving him some of his due blue gave me a understanding of the stories my parents use to tell us they were from a similar town philadelphia were they had to have their fun in the and such i also like to say that is a incredible actor he has found his calling i've seen him in several movies where he has played a variety of roles from thug to doctor and he has the stuff overall please put blues on video for rental,positive
love sublime says the title another during the of the film talked about inner vs beauty well in this case the beauty you decide inner or is provided by scantily clad or is that scantily dressed who the director raj kapoor called a of talent while the film was being made one can't him of sarcasm of course after all he was promoting his own film br br the paper thin plot is about a woman with a face who has a er well body a great voice thanks to with whom the hero kapoor falls in love he doesn't want her face only her voice the acting is desperate and even the 4 is because of the music with giving some good numbers the rest is of course avoid save your money inner beauty vs outer beauty you need not be an einstein to figure out which one the director was on,negative
well ok i've seen wrath of the ninja br br it isn't something that i would recommend to people who aren't seriously into japanese fighting movies this is a sort of japanese fighting ninja movie with a complex plot it's about these 3 old ninja schools that had these 3 swords of i saw the subtitled version not recommended by the way it's easy to miss something and i didn't really keep up with it all it had some good scenes tough but in general it wasn't much to my liking,negative
very poor script and acting i was very surprised that the director was able to convince his cast with his empty story that tells us nothing new all is in the cliché of the mentor and the talented immature the characters even interesting nor sympathetic artistically it is as empty and insignificant the colours are very and light only the poster may be appealing al pacino tries very hard to give depth to his character with no success too bad because the sport can be a really interesting subject to which many could relate but i can't have a complete comment on this movie any way as i got out from the theatre 20 minutes before ending everything was so predictable that it was a of time,negative
this is a little slow moving for a horror movie but the quality is better than you might expect for a director's only effort on imdb the camera work and lighting were both surprisingly good and the acting – although – is better than is often found in indie genre flicks br br as the lead robert field is rather stiff which is especially unfortunate given that his character claude is the film's narrator as well as the centre of its action however it was the entry of christopher brandon that i considered the turning point of this film – and not in a good way a twist is introduced in a clumsy fashion and slow moving becomes drawn out and overly br br on the up side pete barker is consistently entertaining as father william he's the easy stand out in what is a fairly ordinary offering while the first half hour caught my interest i ended up feeling quite disappointed in the way things played out,negative
man the really were an horrible decade for movies the movies are lacking in a good style and also the storytelling is often lacking br br this entry into the long running halloween series is certainly a bad one you just never really get into the story because it isn't a very well constructed and build up movie br br it's simply a poorly done film that also suffers from its imagine less writing and non compelling characters that are in it dr seems to be in it just for the sake of being in it it's a real shame that this had to be donald last film role it's nice and also sort of that his last role is in an halloween movie but he definitely deserved to be in a better one br br there is never a sense of real danger in the movie and the character of michael myers just never comes across as threatening or scary perhaps it's because he's featured too throughout the movie from pretty early on already he does his usual stuff again but without too much class or originality also the attempts to past don't really work out for the main reason that it just doesn't get explained very well it's obvious that the script went through various re writes before and also very possibly during filming several scenes even got re shot or added after the first cut turned out to be far from pleasing br br the movie more often looks and feels like a made for tv one this is also due to the lack of some real good gore as an horror movie it really is lacking in basically everything to make this a good or even original one to watch br br so far the worst out of the series br br 3 10,negative
as you might not know de is one of most rightfully celebrated writers he was witty he no one in his critics and must now be rolling in his tomb and that's not due to this movie being bad which it is but as a result of the treatment to one of his o crime do it's treated like cheap throwaway trash br br when it was that this was to be a modern and urban take on the book i feared for the worst normally modern in these means taking the liberty to take the p when doing an adaptation to half it in the possible way and so the moral and social dilemma of a priest having a secret forbidden affair are by extra long of people dealing drugs and singing hip hop for no particular or reason to the plot it's just there like it might very well not have been br br oh and there's lots of sex so you can at least be counting on that when you put this on remember how every movie in the 80's no matter the genre or the tone always found a way to sneak in some nudity if it was a thriller and they had no need for it they simply found a way that when they were capturing a he happened to be in bed with a woman that would around screaming naked of course when the cops in gratuitous is the word i think not that there's anything wrong with nude scenes but here they make the creators of this movie look desperate simply because there's nothing else to the movie it's totally devoid of what do you call it dramatic content,negative
inspired portrayal of miss drag it is one of the great comedy characters in film equally wonderful is character ruby gates br br this is a movie you should up on the with on a wet afternoon and be transported to a time long ago when terrifying school girls only gained our respect not our i hear that a remake is in the with rupert everett as miss he will have a hard job competing with the master or should that be mistress br br go and rent it it beats so much of what today goes for comedy,positive
if this film doesn't at least be selected for an oscar for best foreign film i'm going to stop waking at nights watching the event has that money isn't the key to making a good movie but originality out of a cold country comes a warm but thought provoking film of a mentally ill man and his struggle against an insane world after an insight like this you question whether or not the man is crazy or the world he lives in,positive
i caught this movie on tv yesterday i had a certain curiosity about it being that it was directed by and starring him and his real life dad martin sheen i love to see a movie about a father son relationship that involves a real life father and son naturally there's an instant chemistry between sheen and and their scenes of conflict are even more intense knowing that they're actually related of course it helps that the two of them are both terrific actors i've seen martin sheen in intense roles before but i think this is most intense role being that i mostly recall him from the mighty series and i was very impressed talent really does run in that family and kathy bates steals the movie in an oscar worthy performance she at my with every word of dialogue williams the beautiful actress from the father of the bride movies is also very good holding her own among a group of talented veteran actors br br the movie is a bit with dialogue that's obviously for the stage but that didn't bother me this is not meant to be an action movie this is a character study and for a film that's based on a play it never gets too claustrophobic when character jeremy to his days in vietnam we actually see his harrowing memories brought to life br br the film is extremely powerful and realistic without being sentimental at the end i expected all the conflicts to be resolved and the family would become hunky but that's not how it turned out the ending made me cry without to standard hollywood melodrama that proves reality is much more gripping than anything hollywood can up br br if you're in the mood for a beautiful powerful drama with extremely wonderful performances that will knock your off please check out this underrated gem hopefully one day martin and will with charlie and they will all make a great film together br br my score 9 out of 10,positive

wow what a lovely warm rural film the story focuses upon taylor mickey rooney a young male whose journey takes him to a quiet rural town there he stays with the brown family liz taylor their youngest daughter who subtly befriends has a passion for horses and wins one at an this horse is a beautiful referred by its previous owner as a but re names him pie not long later suggests to enter him in the grand national race and her family are against the idea but soon agree and and began to train him for most famous horse race … this film is a beautiful example of what british films are like i remember i first saw this when i was eight and on my summer holidays my parents taped it off the tv and i to it instantly – watching it most days instead of the large collection of disney films that i owned br br i believe it was one of liz first movies and a good one her character is but sweet – her acting is extremely convincing especially when she portrays her love for horses it's also a good chance to see angela lansbury in one of her early roles who co stars as older sister who spends most of her time in the film being smitten with a boy in the town i must say she was a gorgeous lady when she was younger beautiful blonde hair and a face although she doesn't have a major part in the movie she dose have a number of scenes so not to disappoint her fans parents reading this i must emphasis – if you can get hold of a copy of this please do if you're children love animals – i strongly suggest you show it to them they may find a few scenes boring but you see riding the horse on many occasions throughout the film and would most entertain children a lovely and nostalgic film i might just go away now and put it on,positive
when you make a film with a killer kids premise there are two effective ways to approach it you can either make it as realistic as possible creating believable characters and situations or you can make it as fun as possible by playing it for laughs something which the makers of silent night deadly night did for example on an equally controversial subject a killer santa the people who made bloody birthday however do neither of those things they simply rely on the shock value of the image of a kid with a gun or a knife or a or an arrow in his her hand the result is both offensive and stupid the whole film looks like a bad idea that was rushed through production and then kept from release for several years it's redeemed a tiny bit by good performances from the kids but it's very made 1 2,negative

the children is perhaps my favorite film of all time simply for the brilliant acting of the cast the warm interaction of the 3 children and the people they encounter living near the in the beautiful english countryside jenny is especially believable in her role as the older sibling of her sister and brother peter the adventures they discover and relationships formed in their new home and surrounding area are very real and fascinating the scenery is lovely the trains a part of vast history and the soundtrack is very moving this heartwarming film never fails to bring tears to my eyes each and every time as well as makes me i often wonder if i should have been born in that era as i think i would have in just fine as people treated each other with such and decency br br in short i consider this film somewhat of a masterpiece and a must see for anyone who considers themselves a or caring edith wrote this story around the beginning of the and what a wonderful story it is more kids today need to read this or see the film instead of playing violent video games if we had more films of this nature the world would become a better place,positive
this is bad movie there is no denying it as much as i'd like to tommy lee jones is about as good as he possible can be with the script they gave him and he had a couple of decent action sequences that felt really out of place due to their acceptable quality br br somewhere along the line someone figured that all of the shortcomings of script could be if they were to hire every single actor in the business unfortunately even truly deeply talented actors like goodman beatty macdonald taylor vince and we forget mr jones himself can't fix the wooden dialogue and plot progression that went absolutely nowhere br br in fact at one point i looked up sure that the movie had been running for the past 2 hours only to find that i was minutes into it br br perhaps the most painful point of the movie was the subplot about the ghost soldiers that seem to be of little to no help to the story other than slightly from the confusing business at the end with the picture if you haven't seen this movie disregard this past statement which may seem and know that it is not you will not understand it any better after having watched the movie br br the most interesting thing about this movie may be that it is actually a sequel to the movie prisoners starring alec baldwin in the same role carried by tommy lee jones in this movie i may have to watch it now first to see if it is as bad as in the electric and second because i can't seem to no matter how hard i try break my man crush on alec baldwin,negative

ever since they first came to the outer banks and filmed the movie i have lived here my whole life i have waited for this movie to come out and i mean waited and waited and waited over a year and a half for this movie and to me it was worth it br br the movie is different from the book but in my eyes it's still a beautiful piece of work as is the book in both i cried there were moments that me up i laughed and i just as much it's a great movie with a great story line br br it's about never giving up on finding that one the one that will change you forever the one that will shape your soul and you to a whole new view of life br br i have to say that it is possible to meet someone and have them change your life forever which is what character did to i met the love of my life and at once was completely captivated that i never forgot him or how smitten i was with him until i him again a year later for me i could relate to this movie with my whole heart i think that if you listen and watch the movie with your heart and your hopes you'll see what i'm talking about it's never too late to find your true love great work ms lane and mr gere,positive
this is one of the best movies on the french revolution ever produced being a person well in the the period i was amazed at the level of detail the costumes are spot on even the detailed little day to day items such as wells serving etc are all perfect as an american living in france who has access to the sites in the movie through his in various historical such as the alliance i can not over state how impressed i was with the visual accuracy of the film br br the dialogue where known is virtual and the where not recorded is in character i was extremely pleased with this movie and am disappointed that it is not out on dvd yet this is how historical drama should be done must see,positive
has gone full circle from in 1985 to totally abysmal now it's such a bad reflection of the nation this crap tops the ratings br br the ideas for plots can consist of nothing more trivial than putting ever characters name in a hat the first two out regardless of their sex will sleep with each other the 3rd 4th out will have a fight in the the one will be arrested the develop an addiction get pregnant etc etc br br the producers are clever though the 30 minute show is only actually ever comprised of 3 lines br br 1 someone will walk in the say what's on 2 someone else will stand up say leave it out 3 then a woman will say come in insult br br that's it that's every show apart from the occasional get it sort id is it sort id br br the show was once a realistic portrayal of east end folk their way of life the came off when 1 they extended it from two nights a week 2 the slater family turned up how they attract viewers is beyond me the character everything that's gone wrong with society treating anyone else like something she's pulled off the bottom of her shoe br br the people who vote her the best character in these must the same as the ones that vote jamie despite the fact he hasn't played a game for 3 years br br what i can never understand is if the show is the of british tv why do all the biggest names leave ross martin the list is endless br br how long has the longest marriage lasted with them being faithful to each other yes people leave but until the script writers realise that characters couple can be interesting likeable without sleeping around the show will continue to an episode last week had 3 separate plots of exactly that and the doctor top even as unconvincing couple ever to appear on tv ' br br yes is the most watched show thats but many factors contribute to that 19 30 20 00 is the perfect time of day to gain the most audience figures it has an edition for 2 hours and more than that millions of the viewers watch it out of nothing more than habit but if they were completely honest to themselves they would admit that in 2002 more than ever it can be absolutely pitiful,negative
i was on my way out one morning when i was checking something on the t v and came across this film i don't ever remember seeing this or hearing of it what a fun and interesting one to watch well my meeting was pushed back because i couldn't get out of this film it had some real interesting things in it that marked it's time in history and some fun things that they don't have people do in today's film because it's not pretty well there was a lot of realism in it the acting was good for a 1954 film subtle and genuine actions on the part of the characters that had me watching what they were going to do next that is why i ended up watching it i don't know why they don't show it more often i would rather watch this than some films they play more than necessary for history buffs people who like period films and those that are in the film appreciation groups will like this one the egyptian has a variety of dealing with a lot of things to look at in human nature that has not changed since it's time what does that say about us those that don't like movies that take their time to unfold and tell a good story are not into film br br i haven't had the time to rent it if it is available but if i get a chance to see it again i would probably vote it a 10,positive
excellent work all around especially by the actress who played the wife claire price as well of course as david i did really figure out but that is beside the point the ending which i won't someone describes it on the board in answer to someone else's question if you are interested i found really sad despite agatha reputation for writing cardboard characters i thought these really well rounded by and large br br the pacing of the story was good and i enjoyed seeing sarah miles as lucy and edward son i believe in addition to being a well known dr watson as her husband,positive
i will admit i had the opportunity in the past to watch this film and after about 5 10 minutes into it i felt like many did i was expecting a monkey movie that was similar to the television show but instead i was given well i didn't know what i was given to be honest br br however after finally watching this film i realized that not only had i had a closed mind to the brilliance it depicts i also found myself watching it over and over again it's the one movie that never to interest me simply because it keeps me alert as i try to attempt to it's meanings and just when i think i've figured out something in the film it's answer is destroyed once i watch the film again brilliance indeed br br it seems that most people who disliked this film are wanting to watch a film with primarily a clear plot they want everything explained and all questions answered in the finale well sorry if that's what you're wanting this is not the movie for you but if you liked movies like the matrix and better yet their sequels i think you'll appreciate the thought provoking experience this film will give you br br think of the film being like a dream in our dreams things make no sense things we expect to happen don't people places and things don't speak act or function in the same way they do in reality to complain about head is like complaining about a dream you've had that you felt you could not understand the mind is a complex system and being that a film titled head is just as complex is it that difficult to relate the two br br the music and musical numbers really stand out especially peter two compositions which remain the best tracks in the film can you dig it and long title do i have to do this all over again br br this film proves that the were much more than just four guys in a group as their critics called them on a television show but that they are actually much more intelligent and talented than the world would give them credit for there's so many messages that can be derived from the film both in regards to the and to the in general that it stands as a masterpiece of film making that was far ahead of it's time br br i feel had this film been released as an independent piece at this point and time it would actually garner the respect and admiration it deserves br br and one finale note br br one could compare this to the beatles magical mystery tour film since the beatles film appeared to be just as strange and bizarre however in my opinion head stands far above anything the beatles put on celluloid,positive
if you don't mind subtitles you like comedy and truly interesting characters along with a taste of something different from mainstream american cinema then take a chance and rent this film br br two friends one very neurotic the other the strong quiet loner type working for a jerk butcher in a smaller danish town decide to strike out on they're own together and open a butcher shop themselves not successful at first they something new to they're recipe and become an instant hit with the village br br that being an interesting story in itself this humorous film is laced with even more friendship romance crime death personal tragedy that makes this film so funny yet with numerous subtle interests that make it so interestingly funny yet warm and fuzzy br br a must mention is the characters created and the actors making them believable you can have the best script yet if the characters aren't believable it can sink a film and with this the directing acting character believability and story all so well they make this a very entertaining film br br so if your in the mood to stretch a want to see something very good yet done a bit differently then i suggest you rent this film while i'm on my way out to find more by director writer thomas,positive
someone commented that charlie character should be court for doing whatever he wanted you may be right but that is how truly are i served for several months with a seal team out of actually i should say they used our ship to themselves around europe for a couple of months i was the clerk on board and everyday these guys would try to get their mail since only one person was allowed to pick up the mail each day we one pass to one person each day a different seal would come up pretending to be someone else well after the third time i said no to them until i had proof who they were they went nuts i thought they were gonna bust through my cage gag me and then steal the mail luckily i had not only the president on my side the navy but the federal government us mail that was the only time i saw the stopped from having whatever they wanted they were allowed shore leave where we had to be back on ship at a certain time they killed and tortured a woman in france and the two only got a 1 week on ship whereas a was caught stealing a bottle of wine from a french wine shop and he got a court martial is it any wonder why the rate is over 85 as a seal you are god so this movie does a pretty accurate job of portraying how a seal acts and thinks unfortunately it is so unbelievable to normal people that it comes off as being fake,negative
simon leads a little team of special agents that has in finding and returning missing people against all possible odds their latest mission is about the of a friend of them she seems to have been caught in the web of a particularly brutal criminal and everyone that has gone looking for her has gone missing but now the are on the case br br comments this is pure b action through and through the key phrase for this is supply there is supply of they don't have to once there is an supply of bad guys so the heroes have something to shoot at there is an supply of breasts many of them bare in an vain and as always failed attempt to distract from the plot holes and there is an supply of bad acting it is almost like erika performance shines in this what about that and actors that don't seem to care more than the paycheck and why should they when no one else seem to br br and as in most b action movies there are an supply of bad but these almost seem to be of a ridiculously bad kind i think i saw more realistic when i played cowboy as a kid br br but then again i didn't really expect much either how could i from a action movie named the and it actually delivers about what could be expected 90 minutes of more or less bad action with some scenes to connect the between but i am unsure if i can call it entertaining it didn't keep my interest very long br br 3 10,negative

jennifer art for teachers of children is a stunning disturbing masterpiece gritty and cinematography coupled with the brilliantly performances she evokes from her cast the sense of shocking raw realism in this story of a 14 year old seduction of her married school the scenes between the amazingly uncanny actress playing jennifer grace and mother actually voiced by ruth on the phone are some of the most intriguing and powerful i've ever seen captured on film the lesson ultimately learned here there's nothing more dangerous than a boring man who creates bad art well i would highly recommend this remarkable piece of art for anyone interested in thought provoking independent cinema,positive
i had a bad feeling when i saw the cheap title work it only took a couple of scenes to confirm that this movie is a real stinker the only enjoyment i got out of this was to laugh at the technical flaws example the background car sounds audio just disappears during the scene with danny and dog in car production shows a total lack of imagination example slow motion machine gun fire repeats many times sandra plays essentially a bit part completely unnecessary to the plot to say that this movie actually has a plot is doing more justice to the writing than it deserves the computer is kind of interesting this film was released in 1982 not 1987 as the imdb and then current high tech was an screen on a 4 8 pc with drives maybe the pc was the real star of the movie at least it was interesting br br we got this on dvd for a couple of bucks in the bargain bin at as the other reviewer notes we paid too much,negative
i am a big fan of this film and found the tv mini series children of the dust the version fans should look for at least 20 minutes or more are cut on the dvd version of this film br br i would also suggest viewers who enjoyed this film to check out the book there is a more rounded storyline with and rachel more on black history and buffalo there were two many for the series or this film br br sidney only shows he gets better with age the talent just keeps growing the chemistry between his character of gypsy smith and taylor were wonderful viewing i also enjoyed the billy joanna going storyline they seems to play off each other well br br billy is of course the model of indian vision the look the attitude the dream of every woman who was wanted to be carried off in one of those romance novels by a native hero worked for me also br br much more could have been done with this storyline but it did give the viewer a brief glimpse of racial problems back in the white take over of native lack of black to setup towns in the west michael as always a great actor comes across as a very caring and confused teacher not sure if the whites should be with native culture br br for anyone who enjoys characters and watching them change this film is for you i thought the chemistry between character and that of the orphan very moving and thought and worked very well together billy did some of his best scenes when working with br br going got on my nerves sometimes when you want to just stop and shake her or give her a wake up and grown up call but on the whole it was a great evening of entertainment br br look for the two tape version of this mini series if you are a fan you will really see the difference,positive
i understand checking out will likely be released in theatres in the usa in june 2006 and on dvd in november 2006 my recommendation is to not miss checking out this comedy film will entertain everyone who will all relate to the characters family relationships and multiple social issues that are portrayed checking out will make you laugh throughout with quick fire clever humor built into almost every line and may make you cry in a touching positive way as well br br the subject of suicide is dealt with in a comical way that at the same time may help people considering it understand the this act may have on those their life has touched and on those who love them lets hope that checking out can have a positive impact and help prevent those considering suicide from acting it out especially in the 16 25 age group that has the highest rate of suicide in the usa br br the script is wonderfully written perfectly casted and loaded with and meaningful flashbacks in time whose significance become more apparent throughout the film and especially at the ending i believe the script is worthy of an academy award nomination for best screenplay play to a movie the phoenix film festival checking out with a best screenplay award br br the cast is loaded with great actors that out do themselves and have a long track record of great performances acting award nominations and wins i feel peter performance in checking out is worthy of an academy award nomination and is the most challenging and wide ranging of his career laura san performance and chemistry with peter falk as her father is masterful and was recognized at the palm beach international film festival with a best actress award br br even the teenage characters in the movie shine and are played by young acting dan movies a story with duff 3 young artist award nominations won 1 and mary elizabeth tv monster island wolf lake passions touched by an angel 2 young star nominations br br director jeff and producer mark lane wonderfully develop the characters their and the story line of this entertaining enjoyable yet complex script br br the film editing keeps the pace of the film moving quickly only appropriately in the poignant scenes so that the audience will never loose interest from the beginning to the end br br don't miss this film that you can take the whole family to see and all will enjoy it,positive
i thought this movie was perfect for little girls it was about a magical place where and all her sisters could do what they wanted to do the most anytime they'd like most little girls would like this story even though there is the thought of death in it although no one dies the king almost does but little girls would not understand it so it adds up to make a perfect story all the events add up creating a great plot that can have a meaning if you dig deep enough this story is perfect for little girls and since it is a movie the kids can have more fun with it especially if they have of their own anyone can have fun with it though because it is so cute and understandable overall i think this movie is a good movie for everyone especially little girls and will give anyone a smile at least once during it,positive
i'm going to recommend putting this one in the skip it pile as well i was mildly excited by the concept when my fiancée rented it and a bit more excited when i saw that directed it ah well br br the costumes were nice sure but they were typical there was nothing about them that said they were from anywhere but the period costume department of any major hollywood studio there was no distinction between spanish british and french everyone dressed like they were at court in the sets somehow didn't evoke the qualities of the settings the prison didn't feel like a prison the didn't feel like and the outside scenes looked like they were filmed on a back lot for all that they were probably practical locations br br the score was dramatically less than it could have been i have been a fan of film scores since my youth and collecting them by which i mean more than john williams my fiancée is a professional film composer an award winner who has had her works performed at lincoln center and a rising star in the industry at the start of the film we had high hopes for it and it did indeed start off nicely it rapidly and at several points including the scene of the release of the prisoners it actually reached a level of annoyance i actually reached for the remote to turn down the volume the score was never anything more than the most obvious choice for a specific tone of scene and didn't itself into the soul of the film think of the music in and you'll have an idea of what i mean it never the it wanted to but then neither did the film br br as talented as he is was awful for the first part of the film his mannerisms are so distracting that it takes over his performance during the second half everything that was his character in the first half is gone replaced by an entirely different set of annoying mannerisms and he looked like the love child of keith richards and stuart i never got the idea that he cared about the role which is to say that the character cared about his life and actions or that the character was ever drawn by the writers as anything more than an who for whatever reason changes his mind and decides to stick by his principles at the end br br natalie portman was very good although her performance lacked the shades of increasing insanity between her release from the prison and taking hand at the end that i would have needed to call it truly an effective performance the character of alicia was never defined enough to truly and if it weren't for the superb makeup on her eyes and someone seeing the beginning of the film and the end wouldn't know they weren't the same character the teeth were horrible artificial and distracting but that's no knock on ms portman br br was fine as not oscar worthy but and generally believable i don't know much about the life of or his but it seemed to be tacked on to the movie as a of information rather than anything that was in the film i am sure it affected life much more than just the need of an but you'd never know it from watching this for the record words and sounds can only be correctly interpreted roughly 30 of the time through lip reading br br don't get me started on randy quaid at least he was a minor character br br the script reads like one of the choose your own adventure books i used to read as a kid at several moments through the film several are possible and none of the actions them lead with any to the way the film actually plays out ironically the film is also predictable especially its attempts at the mood through small bits of humor the joke about the hands maybe it's because i paint not well as a and know what a pita hands are to draw paint but i saw the joke coming a mile away as well as the in the second half was the baby ever there for any other reason other than to be taken by there might as well have been a line of bread br br disappointing br br note this review is a copy of a i made to a thread in the forum,negative
robin williams shows his stand up talents and up his status as a comedian in this movie of what's wrong in american politics and how can hollywood try to make an influence without boring people of course hollywood uses movies with hidden or not so hidden i think this movie is for people who likes stand up and political discussion and the trailers of this movie were for everybody just to make sure as many people as possible will see this everybody knows hollywood is more liberal than the bush co so they have to make these movies every now and then but this one was perhaps too obvious at least i thought so for making any real change br br still great stand up and fresh political issues and talks i enjoyed it and thanks to imdb com ratings i was positively surprised when i walked out from the movie theater and yes i laughed many times sometimes you just have to let it go and forget all the seriousness see this movie if you like good and clever stand up or politics and you will not be offended by the several references of how things are not good right now rent it if that doesn't match you,positive
ignore the extreme votes about house of wax in no way is it either a 1 or a 10 i will try to be of help to anyone thinking about seeing house of wax or for those who saw it based on the trailer and feel cheated the trailer makes this movie look very promising which is what trailers are supposed to do there is only one thing for sure with trailers if the producers can't together a minute of interesting elements to make a trailer it is a pretty much a sure thing that the movie is a major suck fest but a good trailer only tells you that a few things about the movie are good it does not give you much idea about the total package here a little research can be valuable br br house of wax stars elisha whose acting skills are closer to kathy ireland than to either her fellow canadian sarah or her rose and was directed by a music video artist known as in his feature debut these are not good signs but if you are like me you ignore them and go to see the work of production designer grace walken who was responsible for the look of ghost ship once again work is worth seeing so much so that it looks like 90 of the movie's 30 million budget went to production design the rest went to to compensate her for the abuse she has to take throughout the film finger cut off lips glued shut tied up and lots of around in stuff by the bye looks considerably than she did in the girl next door about one big pig out away from having a major weight problem br br which means they had little left over to pay the rest of the cast and crew and judging from the what was on the screen this might actually be true it looks like everyone else their time to get their first acting or crew credit unfortunately whether it was or jealousy over the pay the of all these inexperienced incompetent amount to less than zero br br inexperienced steven work was about as awful as you are likely to see and working in league with an incompetent editor like joel insert pearl harbor here they manage to take away most of the value added by the production design group rather than over and showcase the sets window filmed this stuff with bad lighting and jerky camera work the problem with an insane number of cuts poor lighting an add like camera and cutting are what you use to hide cheap and crappy production design not what is needed when the movie's only strength is its expensive and detailed sets br br chan hayes did the screenplay and charles who wrote the original story is credited as the writer although except for the title and the use of wax figures there is absolutely no similarity one saving grace is that the movie does not take itself seriously as a horror film and is mostly parody insert van here the murders are played for laughs too extreme to be scary or even creepy to anyone over age six the audience particularly up when a certain high profile hotel got her face run through by an steel bar although her earlier half baked was the only genuinely creepy thing in the film another comedy highlight was when sticks her finger through a and has it off by the bad guy br br the good scenes take place in house of wax a that has something to do with a closed sugar mill twins and a lot of which gets to in all this is supposed to be happening somewhere in rural florida although from the many hills it sure looks like paul country attention location the coast is not noted for it's rolling the screenplay apparently intended to play up the connection bad pun between the two sets of twins but somewhere during production or post production most of the dialogue concerning this was since what is left about the twin connection makes no sense and goes nowhere you wonder why it wasn't also cut to the boredom factor br br what is particularly sad is that the producers did not have the brains to recognize in mid production that they had the ingredients for a first rate horror classic even with the existing cast what was staring them in the face was a chance to go somewhere with the illusion of a town of wax because it is a medium modern film is almost without exception prone to creating an illusion of reality here they had a ready made opportunity to give the medium a theatrical element of extreme like an painting the town creates the illusion of reality from a distance but reveals itself as a highly stylized wax up close of course they would have had to find a director and to bring the thing off successfully but everything else was already in place for this to happen,negative
this movie was terrible it is not something that people should have to pay to see it looks like some christian group made it to people i don't understand why it was released to theaters and not to tv br br it started out like an old fashioned b movie sci fi film from the 50s but quickly changed about 30 minutes into the movie the characters start talking about god and do you believe in jesus it quickly moves into pure religion territory br br i thought i was going to a sci fi movie the film has poor acting bad camera angles and is amateurish br br avoid it,negative
caution possible spoilers just watched for the second time the first time was 30 years ago on an air force base i was reminded of that by the air force with tech sgt wore by the boyfriend dealer we had quite a laugh the first time that appeared on the screen because that is a rank over the years i have carried several other images from the film foremost was the absolutely beautiful and vulnerable daughter of the executive as someone else commented you could not take you eyes off her i did not realize until now that this was a 20 year old susan sarandon in her first movie what a loss that she did not do more movies when she looked like that i also recall the irony of having a hero like peter boyle playing the title role of a right wing gun nut not unlike george c scott playing in dr and and of course the shocking ending made a lasting impression br br 30 years ago it was the most talked about movie that ever played on the base we thought it was a great film then and i have been reluctant to see it again because i was afraid that it would be as dated as easy rider but watching it today i was amazed at how well the film has held up it is a very strong script with few holes although you have to wonder about the boyfriend immediately getting out of the when sarandon gets in with him br br searching for an explanation of why this film is still so entertaining i have to think it has something to do with the perfect physical casting boyle was physically believable as joe as others have pointed out his portrayal would inspire the character a few later did ted knight model his character judge after the dennis advertising executive in they look alike and sound alike patrick was totally believable as the wrapped too tight upper middle class executive and eyed innocent with the ann doll still evokes a protective response from all male viewers perfect casting br br the nude and drug scenes actually hold up they were very provocative for their day and are as explicit as anything to be found in about the only thing that dates this film is that the violence is not realistic or graphic was about the same time as 'the wild and the tone of movie violence had a just begun to change br br another reason this film holds up is that events in the past couple of years have brought back the of the theme and context of this film in the film both types of are portrayed as full of fear and hate toward the unconventional ways of the and filled with envy at their free and lifestyle the is portrayed as mocking the straight culture and although paranoid toward so given that this was just a couple months after kent state they cannot resist their lifestyle in an attempt to the political landscape is not all that different 30 years later i'm not sure envy young people and as much as 1970 but they fear and hate them more br br an excellent film that surprisingly is as relevant now as it was in the early 1970's,positive
this film is supposedly about three young idealistic people two of whom join the movement and blah blah it is really just another film about some beautiful rich people trying to decide who they should bed next the and and the political struggles of the era merely serve as a backdrop literally as we don't hear the villagers say a word never mind learn anyone's name thus they the same as the in old hollywood films the movie is also dull and the story does not actually get us anywhere except to various we are apparently supposed to admire the of it all which merely means no good song and dance routine which would not have saved the film of course but might have at least the boredom br br my friend was annoyed at the of the whole story not the bedroom bit but the whole of the story the message seems to be that ideals are not worth pursuing,negative

actor turned director the sum of all fears does an above average screen version of the novel everything is by author jonathan this tale of journey and self discovery is by strong ensemble performances and sharp direction with a storyline that and the soul br br jonathan wood is a young man who has seen his grandfather pass away jonathan has a peculiar habit of taking small objects and life's little and them in plastic to display them on his wall gives jonathan an old picture showing a young standing next to a beautiful girl who saved his life many years ago thus jonathan on a long journey to locate this mystery woman in the not knowing if she is still alive he the help of a young tour guide named alex eugene and his grandfather boris to drive him to his goal at first the trip hits dead ends and false leads but as the group its target the men find themselves amid the ruins of a dark chapter in history with the memories of war and the past ghosts of a nonexistent town there they find their own respective and will be forever changed by what they learn br br this film feels like it was directed by someone who knew how to get the most from his actors at times the film is spoken in russian and seems like a foreign film the title itself is a play on self discovery this is a thoughtful trek of one man into his past and his past ironically involves his companions obsessive journey becomes an emotional journey for alex and his grandfather as well it's a tale of bonding over the long and the guilt one must carry for a lifetime by the end of the film these characters have all experienced life events that will their lives it proves that memories can be powerful in and also the soul it's also about one's legacy and how others view an event or a person in the past alex eventually sees his grandfather in a completely different light even our perception of these individuals will have changed by film's end which is a tribute to a story that is well told br br the story is simple it functions as a road trip movie like the straight story combined with an interesting mystery story it really involves a great many layers of emotions and subplots that range from the past to the present the ending is a bit surreal with its feeling br br wood sin city the eternal sunshine of the mind has chosen a wide range of roles ever since his in the lord of the rings trilogy here he does a fine job with what is essentially a role with not much to show eugene and boris fare better as alex and his grandfather respectively even the dog named sammy davis jr jr that's right is funny as a loyal companion br br the spare music score by paul is a moody compliment to the thoughtful nature of the film the editing is effective as imagery from past and present are linked and effortlessly the cinematography by matthew for a dream is appropriately stark and lifeless with some impressive images of war and its aftermath br br the that emerge during the last half of the film make for good drama but are a little too we never fully understand the whole background story of grandfather and what his motivations are likewise blank stares and lack of apparent substance and depth do not give us much more than a sketch of a quirky man at times the film feels a little downbeat and depressing as more horrific revelations are exposed but these are minor criticisms of what is a good story with good performances and interesting themes of and closure that not only directed but adapted the screenplay to this worthwhile slice of history is a tribute to his talents and promising potential in the future,positive
what's up with this movie does mr and his writers think that a between two screwed up can carry a feature length movie maybe if it had some comedic elements which is doesn't at least intentionally or there were some additional dramatic elements which there are not or maybe if it was hardcore no it's simply the history of the affair a of a bunch of r rated ho hum who cares nine weeks deserves every nomination it got it's a loser br br and by the way what's up with roger ebert and his rave review where was his head back in 1986,negative

actor turned director bill paxton follows up his promising debut the gothic horror with this family friendly sports drama about the u s open where a young american rises from his humble background to play against his idol in what was dubbed as the greatest game ever played i'm no fan of golf and these underdog sports flicks are a dime a dozen most recently done to grand effect with miracle and cinderella man but some how this film was enthralling all the same br br the film starts with some creative opening credits imagine a version of the animated opening credits of and rome but along slowly for its first by the numbers hour once the action moves to the u s open things pick up very well paxton does a nice job and shows a knack for effective directorial i loved the rain montage of the action on day two of the open that the plot further or add some unexpected psychological depth to the proceedings there's some compelling character development when the british harry is haunted by images of the in black suits and top hats who destroyed his family as a child to make way for a golf course he also does a good job of visually depicting what goes on in the heads under pressure golf a painfully boring sport is brought vividly alive here credit should also be given the set and costume department for creating an engaging period piece atmosphere of london and boston at the beginning of the century br br you know how this is going to end not only because it's based on a true story but also because films in this genre follow the same over and over but paxton puts on a better than average show and perhaps more talent behind the camera than he ever had in front of it despite the formulaic nature this is a nice and easy film to root for that deserves to find an audience,positive
this was the one movie to see about the war my aunt actually played in this movie as an extra in the justin and wedding scene and my uncle was an extra on a horse the script was genuine and accurate the costumes were done the was in order and even the accents were good i love patrick and james they were the best 2 choices and it even had a great supporting cast the civil war is my favorite thing in american history and i love movies about it i have seen quite a few and this movie and it's north and south book 2 took the cake if you haven't seen it rent it as soon as possible it's quite an,positive
since many other users have already explained and commented the storyline i won't do it br br however i'd like to that interpretation is terrific as also are those of the other actors and actresses in this film br br reading the previous comments i've noticed that some people criticize the fact that the film doesn't show points of view opposed to and that those little present are in my honest opinion this is far from true br br there are many characters that move in a gray zone between loving and wanting him to stay and understanding his desire to die most obvious of those are the family for instance sister in law never talks for or against another such character is the social rights who in the last moment tells to re think it all the scene clearly shows that she doesn't want him to die br br then there are characters who are clearly against brother is clearly against it as is his father there's only one thing worse than the death of son and it's having a son that wants to die other users have commented that the discussion between and the priest is and filmed to make us think that is good and the priest is bad well no doubt the scene is comic but that doesn't mean the priest is or from my point of view the comedy in this scene comes from the fact that the priest is trying to convince to keep on living using arguments totally alien to thinking the speech goes on the line of god gives and god takes we aren't the owners of our own lives they belong to god and so on the comedy from the fact that is and all the priest is saying to him is therefore nonsense br br this film is the of it leaves the the chance to think on the subject and make up his her own opinion and above anything else is a of freedom,positive
watching this little movie is a sheer delight from start to finish the story is always entertaining the tension never up the whole cast is wonderful the of walken and works to perfection it is almost like an echo of a classic screwball romance is very sexy and really funny as the artist who fights for her independence for some reason they gave walken a very strange make up and the i can imagine – it's sort of a parody of the one burt had in elmer for me it added to the pleasure it's the first movie i saw in probably one of the most under appreciated movie actors of his generation he's very good in a small role as even the thugs are a sight to behold i can highly recommend this movie,positive
i remember watching this movie many years ago on vhs at a friends place at first i thought it would be a boring car movie but much to my surprise it ended up being one of the best movies i can remember watching for its time br br it has a good story line and best of all it has some awesome aussie cars and street racing i really loved car the most which was a worked dodge the paint work which was done on this car was truly outstanding in my opinion br br there's also a black two door blown which comes into the movie later on br br i actually managed to get a copy of this movie on vhs last year at k mart over here in australia i did have plans of this movie to dvd myself as i believe it is a movie worth the but much to my surprise this weekend while i was the dvd movie bin i came across it on dvd so of course i grabbed it while i could as it was the only copy there br br anyway if you really want to see some classic street racing with real muscle cars including a great story line without a rice in sight then this movie is for you br br here is some additional info taken from the back of the dvd br br he'll win at any cost fox is a young man that lives in the fast lane he believes he is the man on the road but street racing is illegal if he doesn't accept his latest challenge he could loose his girl if he does accept he could lose his life living dangerously living fast and winning at any cost is their obsession they don't turn back the don't give in and the don't ask for help,positive

big fat liar in my opinion is an absolutely hilarious movie with a moral to it when jason frankie malcolm in the middle and amanda all that played those tricks on marty paul doctor i really and felt good that's what i liked most about this movie as a matter of fact everything that happened after ended up in hands was hilarious i especially loved cameo when i first saw him i couldn't be certain but when i asked my mother if it was him she said of course before i wrap this up i'd like to say like i said earlier there is a moral to this story and that moral is always tell the truth now in conclusion if you are a fan of frankie amanda or paul i highly recommend this absolutely hilarious movie with a moral to it,positive
this movie was playing on lifetime movie network last month and i decided to check it out i watched for the first 20 minutes and then shut it off b c i am sorry but plot holes that are integral to a movie's plot make the movie nothing but garbage br br the movie is about a woman who accidentally runs a child on a off the road leaves to get help returns only to find out that it's being called a hit and run and there's a hunt for the that hurt in the end killed her br br this is a movie about a female in an neighborhood who has 2 small grade school children and who is an active woman and yet in order for this movie to work it needs to be believable that she does not own a cell phone sorry but that's complete especially when everyone else seems to have one they used theirs to call when they found the girl lying on the side of the road when our lead female left the scene of the crime to go phone at some when the lead female comes back the is already at the girl's side and there is about how horrible the person is who hit and left her br br just dumb sorry but i am not willing buy that this woman doesn't own a cell phone which is needed for the movie to work please don't insult my intelligence movie thanks maybe if this took place in 1970 or 1960 i'd buy it but it's clearly a present day 1999 at the time movie but wait if she had a cell phone there would be no movie br br the woman clearly knows about technology since she had computers in her house ones the kids played games on so all the movie had to do was make her cell phone dead in the car making her resort to another way to call the cops leaving out a cell phone altogether just created a ridiculous plot,negative
i watched this film recently for the first time in over 30 years and was very pleasantly surprised i remembered a film that caught the mood and feel of britain in the mid 1960s without falling into the clichés that so many other films thought they had to my memory proved correct those who feel that this is like a tv play are not entirely wrong but while newman was to become famous for tv drama this film is more in the tradition of the such as night and sunday but with an emphasis on middle class rather than working class life rod is excellent as the middle aged angst ridden lead married to a repressed and apparently wife claire bloom the of the is the the backdrop for the drama in which old values and are challenged this is the stage for the central character played by judy a role which at the time was a shocking departure from the typical behaviour of contemporary the of roles with the girl rating her in a little black book was a to the feminist movement and was at the time for promoting among young girls the irony of these criticisms is to be seen in both claire and peggy characters who are both peter hall made few films and on this evidence that is a great shame is and wholly credible showing why he was so highly regarded,positive
many people has got a film they think of as their favourite movie my movie will always be john carpenter's the thing the main reason why this movie is a cult film is perhaps the splatter effects created mainly by genius rob and that this is the movie that made kurt russell what he is today along with escape from n y in my opinion this is not a great film because of the effects it has to do with the story the atmosphere and of course the acting i have watched thousands and thousands of movies 3 6 every day the last 10 years but none has had the impact on me as this one not even the great boot br br here's my suggestion to you who likes sci fi and horror movies place yourself in the good chair of your home be sure you're not by anyone if you got a sit close to your tv and watch this miracle of a film let it you and you'll see it my way br br best view time late between 5 and 9 in the evening,positive
then you will be a big fan of this movie its almost the same basic concept a nice mixture of music soul and drama i'll admit i was a little about seeing this movie i had only seen previews of a white trash girl to a but i am a big fan of samuel l jackson and i enjoyed flow so i thought i would give it a chance br br i'm very glad that i did it turned out to be more than just the surface story of a southern girl being imprisoned by a 60 year old black man the story had heart and was very influential br br the music in this movie also added a nice touch craig mixed his style from flow into this movie except took a new spin and used the blues his musical scenes are still at the top of the as far as performance scenes go by he also has very interesting flashback scenes and just gives you an overall crazy feel during some of the more controversial scenes br br no doubt if you liked flow you will love this movie and if you are a fan of the blues you should definitely go an see this i give it a 9 out of 10 very interesting film and it is extremely under rated shame br br go out and rent this movie,positive

just a great soundtrack really enjoyable music outstanding cast great lead performance worth watching br br doesn't really explain what happened to the neighborhood you are left feeling that is to blame or that with the departure of the lead character the neighborhood br br this movie seems well and extremely well crafted i especially enjoyed some of the minor characters like jeffrey wright br br the cutting during the opening sequence helps express what a lively engaging and experience that nightclub would have been with the jump music food drink dancing gambling and sex,positive
this movie is full of pseudo deep and it's in its that includes a ham voice over and some unbelievable dialogue dialogue that is and tone deaf the way spike sometimes not always is when writing certain characters for those that like nonsense films like pieces of april and one hour photo this is another one for you br br that said this comment is nothing against ryan who has shown his awesome chops in the believer a film that proves that movies are a director's medium and when a movie is rotten it's fair to say the fault lies there and not in the actors,negative

brain of blood starts as reed hadley the leader of a country called is close to death because of cancer however if he dies will tear itself apart without anyone to lead them so doctor robert grant williams one of have a plan to take dead body to america where mad scientist dr lloyd kent taylor will transplant his brain into a fresh body with a bit of plastic surgery no one will ever know he was even dead things don't go according to plan though as when the time comes to transplant brain freak assistant john bloom brings a dead body of someone that fell from a balcony needed a strong fit living body since there's no more time he decides to use body as a temporary stop gap until another more suitable one can be found unfortunately when wakes up in his new body he's not very happy at what he sees i mean would you be if you found out your brain was inside a badly burned freak br br also known as brain damage the brain the the brain this exploitation flick was produced directed by the one only al quite frankly i'm offended at the pathetic 1 5 rating brain of blood has on the imdb personally i think it's terrific fun in a so bad it's good sort of way the highly entertaining script by kane w joe van is as silly as they come from sloppy blood brain to crazed mad scientists from 7 foot tall acid freaks who play with toy cars to 4 foot tall midget medical from basement to chases from car crashes to kidnaps to screaming scantily clad women from hair do which should get it's own mention during the opening credits to teenage girls imprisoned in the basement for blood to a laugh out loud hilarious ending which includes some deep meaningful speech it's all here brain of blood has quality cheese all over it if your a fan of bad low budget exploitation flicks with a sense of fun then this film should be right at the top of your list of films despite it's 1 5 rating i am proud to admit that i liked brain of blood a lot i thought it was an absolute hoot to watch it slows down a bit at the end with a few too many shots of people wandering around doing nothing in particular but until that point it had moved along like a rocket at only 85 minutes it's relatively short it's difficult to second guess the plot i just think it's loads of campy fun br br this is director masterpiece as far as i'm concerned along with dracula vs frankenstein 1971 which he made a year before this those who have seen an film before will know about the none existent production values cheap special effects cardboard sets that all adds to the fun this film manages that fine between incompetence seriousness to create a memorable viewing experience i love the opening shot of which is obviously just a photo of the in india complete with people in the hair seems to be a separate on it's own it seems to change styles between shots is frankly horrendous don't get me started about her make up job either that she must apply with a a paint there is another hilarious moment when we see body has been transported to america wrapped in what looks like ordinary tin foil why is the question i asked myself why the effects are there's a terrible looking fake spider burned make up job is pretty bad although there is a surprisingly gory brain which is actually quite impressive br br the budget for brain of blood must have been practically none existent i must admit i thought lab was quite good with various computers medical although the rest of the film looks cheap nasty the production values are low the music was taken from another film beast of blood 1971 the acting is awful but in a campy fun sort of way br br brain of blood may have the best title for an exploitation film ever as far as i'm concerned it's a highly entertaining piece of nonsense that i had a great time watching laughing at they just don't can't won't make them like this anymore impossible to recommend to anyone looking for a good film but bad movie lovers should enjoy it i liked it but then again i'm just weird,positive
wow what can i say it was a good movie very different to all the boring remakes we see lately the only thing i would have liked to see a bit more of an ending like when jane left her husband im guessing she was going to cause she fell for her not just her but everything that she is i so wish producers would actually show that sort of ending instead of leaving to it your imagination sort of ending i really hate it when they do that the acts looked like fun but i guess you'd have to be light and i would like to see more movies like this one maybe the could do a sort of sequel of jane and if i were in jane's shoes i would have went for the girl too she was attractive,positive

you know i really hate system since my entire review is almost gone if you take out the but here we go editing time br br holy is this bad i thought it might be a cool little movie judging by the plot summary since i've rented such gems as and american nightmare before but this is just it's about a killer who uses edgar allen works as reference for his murderous exploits and the story of a detective who has to stop him can't these make a good movie without the grave of a great horror writer i mean the kills in here are completely devoid of thought or originality and the references to poe are hokey and fake without enough thought put into them they're shallow and they put work to shame full of holes with awful the acting is bad too reminding me of the abortion that was known in some third world countries as fear x what with all the and un emotional lines br br i realize this is an indie movie but that's no excuse i've seen high school kids act better then these morons and i myself could've come up with better kill scenes and a better plot given ample time br br this has no reason to exist avoid at all costs,negative
i hardly know where to begin in writing about this gem except to say that it represents young buster keaton at the peak of his powers and must certainly rank with the half dozen best short comedies ever made the goat is twenty minutes of smoothly paced expertly photographed beautifully executed gags two of non stop comic invention driven by an of paranoia and yet somehow leading to a happy ending which wasn't always the way with comedies see cops for one case where ultimately got the better of him or one week for the victory of if i had to describe this film in one word i'd call it but if i were two i'd call it seemingly for surely a lot of hard labor goes into the making of any comic that unfolds with such sublime ease still they didn't call him the great stone face for nothing buster never let the public see him sweat br br a title card tells us that our opening sequence is set along row i e on a bread line in a grim urban setting where buster waits at the back of the line and as a result doesn't get fed but it needs to be that not for one moment does he play for pathos buster has our sympathy but he never asks for it before long through a series of and absurd buster is believed to be an escaped killer named dead shot dan and is being pursued by every cop for miles around and yet while he's clearly by this turn of events there is never a hint of self pity or even surprise we get the sense he always knew that this is what life would have in store for him and that he hasn't time to feel sorry for himself anyway he has to figure out new ways to dodge those cops and escape from the latest trap br br just as buster from playing for sympathy he never seems to strain for laughs either which is especially impressive because the goat must be one of the most laugh packed short comedies in existence this is the film that features that iconic shot of buster riding a cow right up to the very lens of the camera which isn't a gag exactly but sure is laugh provoking in its own strange way meanwhile there are gags involving guns dogs cops an incredibly mustache and a clay statue of a horse that under weight a surreal sight indeed but some of the biggest are saved for the finale when buster is trying to his primary nemesis big joe roberts a cop who also happens to be the father of leading lady virginia fox trapped in big room buster leap over him and through a turns a phone booth into an elevator and pretends to disappear and eventually uses the elevator itself to rid himself of his and win the girl in time for one last fade out gag br br to say more would be a to first time viewers i only wish i could see this film in a theater full of people who'd never seen it before and on the laughter live musical would be nice too and incidentally the musical score by for their home video dvd version of the goat is first rate serving as on an already tasty cake,positive
i wonder sometimes if maybe meryl streep has become so accepted as the most impressive versatile actress since well maybe just about the beginning of the sound era that maybe her talent is now taken for granted there are probably about three that she relies on consistently throughout her performances most a lip but other than that her performances are amazingly and original and fresh expressions of internal even though choice and a cry in the dark and may be her work here and in bridges in madison county is remarkable too just more subtle in one true thing she is mostly sweet and in love with her life and streep makes what could be routine even boring seem attractive and charming i think that she must work out these mini for each character and find what things make this person real and interesting she works from the inside out with each character and maybe it's this essential quality that has the main criticism of or self consciousness i don't think she's cold at all but instead has thought out her character's unique qualities i think her critics are confusing self consciousness with intelligence not too many other actors would be so thoughtful and creative as to make kate lightweight and within her beloved environment only to later reveal depth because of her genuine to that environment her performances are of an she rarely does anything wrong i wonder if it's for any of pictures to not seem because of her presence anyway kate loves her home and her affection for her family life is as endearing as her new conflict within the home is jarring when all of this comes together and kate starts to recognize that she can no longer function in the same capacity and she breaks the pie dish and screams out that she is not handicapped it is painfully sad to watch because this has not been someone prone to emotion streep is smart enough and generous enough to recognize how much better everything works because she has felt out the dramatic of kate and it's really the only scene when she allows her character to go but how true it is to see a character who can really surprise you by displaying something that you wouldn't have thought possible once again character has at least three god this sounds like a itself but as an actress streep just has a special kind of intelligence incredible empathy and great skills the movie itself is probably somewhat mediocre i suppose william hurt is meant to be an unlikeable jerk and he does very well i think hurt is really kind of creepy though script is quite standard another tribute to streep that she was as touching and believable as she was,positive

this movie was a major bait and switch i rented it because of rebecca st james a popular christian singer i have met her and wondered what she would be doing in a movie well br br i think that she starred in this movie to help out a friend or a friend of a friend my first clue that this movie wasn't what it was supposed to be was when i witnessed the special effects of the encounters cheesy as the movie progressed i noticed how plastic the actors were it was funny how almost everyone in the movie wore solid colors there are a few exceptions br br rebecca was disappointing she is always found in the house and doesn't show the realistic facial expressions of one whose husband has return to the doesn't she ever leave the house br br i had to turn off the movie several times in order to finish it i hope that rebecca doesn't believe the message of this movie believe in what we believe or suffer and go to hell jesus spread a message of love and hope his message inspired others to change out of love not fear,negative
being a big fan of horror films and always manage to find something good about a picture but this film just did not hold my interest or attention this story revolves around a father and his daughter and a girlfriend since his wife died a few years back these people encounter a horrible situation in a town they stop off and visit and all the senior citizens in this town gang up against these people and almost kill them this film reminded me of a film called children of the corn because it really involves children who are being presented to satan and are his of terror there is plenty of and a toy tank that completely destroys an entire family in their station as well as dolls who kill a husband and wife,negative
i was sitting at home and flipping channels when i ran across what potentially sounded like an interesting film i like destruction type movies and decided to watch it i don't know why but i ended up watching it the whole 2 hours we have seen this type of movie i don't know how many times br br back in 1998 2000 there were dozen of films that dealt with global destruction of some sort the best one on my list so far is deep impact which was more believable than this one here are my problems with this film 1 cheap special effects like something out of the old computer 2 no background information or explanation on weather if you are going to make a movie about weather at least have some decency to entertain the viewer with technical details 3 how come only 2 or 3 people figure out that the storm is on chicago no more experts left in the field 4 where are some interesting characters i truly don't care for anyone except maybe the pregnant woman i felt that there was no character development 5 no thought provoking moment what so ever and incorrect theme and this is only the first part of the film i bet the conclusion will show us few destruction scenes and a search and rescue operation just like it has been done many times before and judging by the special effects in the first part of the movie i can only imagine what we are to expect of course at the end the main characters will survive and life will go on how original,negative
well i saw this movie during the last san sebastian film festival the reaction to it was let's say as funny as the movie is it happened that they showed a copy with terribly wrong spanish subtitles they seemed to be a translation from chinese to english and then to spanish it was all confusing the were switched girls appeared as boys and boys as girls and my friends and i remember great lines but because they were so absurd all in all not a good movie but if they ever show it on tv and you have nothing to do and if you want to laugh again not so much with the movie then go ahead visible secret is your film,negative
eh i watch this movie in class because someone taped it and brought it in i was expecting some half hearted attempt to portray the and because the commercials for it looked serious i was expecting something that was halfway decent br br ten minutes into the film i realized that it was utter crap the only things in the film that are halfway true to the myth are the bare and i mean bare minimum parents half brother and seemed to be named correctly other than that the rest of the film seemed to be one giant br br i would say that this was not much better than the disney version of the film the disney version was made for little kids therefore wasn't too serious this movie with all the sex violence and nudity was clearly intended for an older audience yet the story presented in this was nearly inaccurate as the disney film,negative
in the last few years of ron son in law of walt disney producer reign he out live action crap on a stick often starring the very boring dean jones whose entire career was based on that kind of light empty headed fare other horrible films from that same period include dragon the last flight of flying oddball and the i'll not mention because i thought it ambitious and miller was only the executive producer on it so he had little to do with the actual production however he was in full force when this god awful piece of human junk was from the of creativity goes to second sequel to much loved love bug tale finds in love with another car who has a brain and heart too there's a race some lame bad guys a diamond and barney shot in france the film actually is nicely photographed and the countryside is lovely but one gets the idea the film was made so all involved could have a three month vacation in france the rest of film is a wreck falls bumbling thieves wicked german racing and a pretty feminist all fall under the category of stock supply the biggest insult of the film trying to further develop lover personality via shakes flashing lights and movements of a horny year old disney's writers do an injustice to our cute little then again i would think it'd be tough for anyone to top helen hayes driving around a in the second outing,negative
if you are looking for a phony hollywood action movie this won't be one for you if the truth is what you seek rent or buy this from a true story the movie attempts to capture the heart of what was is happening in south africa and many other places br br for historical knowledge this rates up there with stories such as the list or millions of people today have no clue what apartheid is or that it even exists this movie may help them learn and may even help them dig deeper,positive
this is an excellent anderson production worth comparing with the best episodes of or space 1999 first series of course it isn't some or star wars pseudo tripe fest but a subtle movie that has a slow pace yet it conveys the creepy eerie and uncanny atmosphere of the best anderson productions for lovers of sci fi voice is absolutely awful are good for this kind of product and acting is good as well two visit a planet on the opposite side of the sun but crash land home instead or do they ah every now and then as the next gadget next but still to happen 40 years later the device of twin planet on the opposite side of the sun also returns in gamera 1969 so who copied whom,positive
although bogart got star billing in king of the underworld i'm willing to bet he didn't thank jack warner for it in fact this film was one hollow crown br br king of the underworld was supposedly a remake of the paul muni film dr but given bogart was in the cast the character is written more like duke in the forest he even has an english writer along in the person of james br br kay francis and john are a pair of married doctors and pulls off a bit of surgery on one of henchmen a man who good work done on his behalf and gives 500 00 and there's more where that came from if he plays his cards right who has a gambling problem sees a good way to get some br br but when he's killed in a raid on the francis is also thought to be involved by the law and the american medical association no matter how much she her innocence it's no good and she and her aunt jessie move to a small town to get away from the br br of course the and bogart and an leslie howard like writer in all meet up with her again but kay is and to say the least br br character was ridiculous no wonder the poor guy was screaming for better parts he's a gangster who both shoots down people without mercy and gives his henchmen just for laughs he's concerned about his image and therefore kidnaps writer to ghost write his autobiography and of course enough to burn him in all 48 states and then let's kay francis completely him hard to believe he was king of anything br br definitely one of the lesser works for either of the stars,negative
br br heather graham is not just a pretty face she is also an extremely talented actress she adds a unique to the movie overall it's an intelligent and yet compassionate look at love marriage and relationships i thoroughly enjoyed it,positive
at first it seems the romance movie where a girl meets a boy and fall in love but the point is that this movie has a feeling others don't have the first time i saw it i couldn't see it complete because i had to leave but while i was walking along i thought i must see it again but i didn't have any opportunity by then one year went by until i saw this movie in a not free channel and i saw it and i recorded it too i saw it once twice until 200 times and not kidding i did know all the dialogues by hart and i don't know why but i saw it everyday and never got bored and i have to say that i'm not used to see a movie more than twice the act is very good gerard depardieu is a talented actor and too i would like her to be in a good movie because i think she can do it on balance it's a movie i can't take out of my mind,positive
i suspect there are several cuts of this doing the rounds the copy i saw focused heavily on erotic films and referred to his horror in passing there are numerous x rated films presented in their x rated glory and in america's legendary snuff footage the breasts being cut off is given generous screen time br br the interviews with the highly likable joe are informative and he is an and his interest in shocking audiences why he wanted to mix with horror and how he may have been responsible for one of his performers turning gay br br his friendship and working relationship with beauty laura is touched on as is his indifferent attitude to shooting hardcore br br joe an incredible period in cinema that has now passed it is great to see a documentary dedicated to him and his fine unique work br br rip joe,positive
that's what me and my friends kept asking each other throughout this entire flick we couldn't believe how stupid it was i think somebody shot this on their camcorder at home and it into the movie store and put it on the shelf as a joke to see if anybody would ever pick it up well i guess the joke is on us br br i guess i should have come to this website first and read all of the reviews it has gotten every single one says this movie is horrible stupid and on and on and boy are they right although it did provide some pretty good laughs me and my friends were pretty drunk because it is so stupid we just can't believe somebody was dumb enough to make such a crappy movie i swear this had to be made in the 70's before they had good technology for movies and stuff because every scene looks really crappy but when i looked on here it said it was made in 2001 what it sure doesn't look like a movie that would be made today but i guess that's what you get when you use a camcorder and shoot home movies using lights and really fake looking and use real life people from your home town instead of actors or even aspiring actors btw some of those chicks or were they drag queens we couldn't tell were so even my drunk horny college buddies wouldn't touch them with a 50 foot pole br br so there's absolutely no appeal to this movie at all bad acting bad writing bad directing bad special effects bad bad bad don't waste your time or money on this one you'll be completely disappointed,negative
another winner from that 50s 60s era that i love so much for the comedic value they give with each viewing these days corman never lets you down with these films they take themselves seriously and they have very low budgets a recipe for good watching for sure ed nelson a very competent actor got started with corman as well as many other favorites who show up in superman and many of the westerns of the day the costume is pretty bad and the sound of the alien speaking well the was a little off but thats the beauty of it film making for the love of it not looking for perfection just digging the action of doing it it comes thru these films are a fun time even better is the mst3k version,negative
why petty was cast as tank girl i'll never know her acting performance is lack her voice is grating it's almost impossible for me to put into words how bad this movie is br br there are several modern pop references in the film which i found to be very strange given that the movie was supposed to take place far in the future it wouldn't have been hard to make this premise interesting either some better writing would have helped loads br br makes an appearance in it as a mild mannered geek i think they should have probably switched roles br br i'll never know why anyone would like this movie unless they were a petty fan br br try not to see this movie total waste of time,negative
captain is one of nicolas better films he turns a fine performance as the title character this is a romance set against the backdrop of a worn torn island john character gives his daughter played beautifully by penelope some honest advice about love this movie doesn't have the fault of being completely predictable this movie also allows to turn in a performance as a strong woman who knows her own mind and heart once the film up beyond the opening sequence this film keep you focused on it again nicolas cage did not disappoint,positive
drama about a marriage which is threatened by a younger third party which interests the wife of the house watson plays the role very well as the troubled husband who cant control his wife's cheating and deals with the issue i also like rupert everett a lot in his role as william the man that watson has the affair with although i think emily watson is a great actress i had a bit of a problem with the way her character was written did not make her too likable i know a is not supposed to be likable but some of her actions and things she did had no reasoning behind them the screenplay was perhaps the weak part of this drama although direction was good and the performances were also quite good this film is better than but not a masterpiece by any means imdb rating 6 7 my rating 8 10,positive
im a huge m fan that's why i ended up watching this movie honestly i doubt that if he wasn't in the movie i would of enjoyed it as much or even watched it but once i did watch it realize the story was pretty decent a bad ending i must say but i did see it coming it's a low budget movie and some of the actors weren't really good but all in all i rated this movie 7 10 br br the suspense of wondering what was actually up to was what really me interested in this movie br br its a good rental br br 7 10,positive
at least for me and rather unexpected as subject a movie that makes you question your beliefs your life your approach on everything that helps you see the world you we live in through a lens or a of lens a moving surprising and haunting movie br br and it benefits of one of the best performances ever from kevin spacey very well by jeff bridges there isn't a false note in this tango it's a perfect dance perfect the end br br what does the ending reveal well everything you want it to br br a movie one will want to see again maybe not right away maybe after a few days months years but it's something to go or come back to,positive
so i give it one star for true quality but i'd give it an eight and a half for sheer an incredibly strange hybrid of sex comedy and vigilante thriller young warriors is just the sort of bad movie you usually hope to find when around the video yet so rarely do it starts off with about half an hour of wacky hi sex jokes and juvenile including an in the joke that has to be seen not to be believed then the main character's younger sister gets gang raped by a bunch of an scene that keeps me from giving this a 10 for entertainment value rape is not entertainment and the main character gets the rest of his sex crazed frat brothers to help him in a quest to clean up the city find the responsible and kill anybody slightly criminal they run into along the way br br it's hilarious non stop fun apart from the very unpleasant rape scene and is essential viewing to any serious bad movie fan trust me i've put my time in on these things and this is one of the best highlights include a wonderful visit to the library a great mo shootout in a sleazy bar with a shot of a guy blowing his own foot off that's pretty impressive a couple of decent actors richard ernest a couple of semi famous recognizable faces day george scream queen and a couple of relatives of famous people chuck brother mike van clan member james it even has one of those great what have we become type morality lesson endings although the turning point comes when the vigilante gun down a couple of kids robbing a store with a toy gun i've always wondered why that was the that got the hero thinking after all whether they were kids and not hardened criminals and whether they had a real gun or not they were in fact still robbing a store so as far as i can tell it was just another job well done for our vigilante frat boys right wonderful stuff highly recommended just don't blame me when you enjoy it despite yourself,negative
i have read all of jane novels right the way through once a year every year since i was 9 years old and received the modern library edition of her works as a birthday present br br i loved this movie for its romance and for the music which stayed in my head it was an interpretation of course not an emma or a sense and sensibility but something quite different and something catherine herself would have loved and oh to be loved by this passionate henry this was the henry of imagination and she is the romantic heroine she read about in her novels and which was promised to us by the practical jane austen who tells us right at the beginning that the unlikely catherine will indeed be one i wonder if jane was being entirely satirical in her novel perhaps she too could imagine such a henry br br i haven't seen the film in many years at least a decade but i have been yearning for it ever since,positive
film historians have said much about ancient epics that have been the interest of many directors from the beginning of cinema the of such epics particularly biblical ones were d w griffith with his mother of all epics and cecil b demille with his flair for magnificent costumes and lavish scenes who can forget his ten 1956 or the sign of the cross 1932 nevertheless here comes another epic made in the 1950s directed by michael and based on the novel by the egyptian michael already famous for his great classic casablanca 1941 wonderfully manages to his film to the audiences of that time to the most important ideas and facts from the thick novel and to recreate the lifestyle of the who lived in one of the most amazing periods in the reign of br br the first and most important fact for me in this movie is the psychological development of the main character that edmund plays having been brought up in a simple family by his step parents becomes a all his life he never stops asking a question why and searching for the answer love that he finds in a leads him to financial and spiritual disaster he has to the mistakes by hard work in the house of death and starting to build up his reputation from nothing first he thinks that the only cure is revenge however in the long run he realizes that eye for eye is no solution finally what stands before him in very strange circumstances is the temptation to be a nevertheless there is one moment he finds the answer for his questions that touched him throughout his life the story of the main character though based on the book is so interesting psychologically that every open minded person should consider this aspect in the film the main character's psychological struggle is by the times he lived in the times when probably for the first time to that the power of sword with the power of thought br br movie also one rule that all films of his era kept to great cast and lavish sets there are mostly british actors and actresses who give very nice performances how is it possible not to mention the of ancient epic victor mature this time he is not or but a fighter a lover at last a jean simmons appears in a very delicate role of merit a woman who loved all her life but it was too late when he realized that peter ustinov probably most famous for his gorgeous performance as in three years earlier does a great job as friend the of the film is also played by two great cast gene tierney and michael tierney is excellent as cold of power the sister of gives a marvelous performance as insane when i was in in paris and saw original face in stone he looked very much the same as the actor in the film an actress born in is quite memorable as a wicked and there is one more actress who appears only in one scene but whom it is hard to forget evelyn as mother this voice these eyes br br the sets are magnificent the director the most image of the temple of the god that the to in the reign of iv i also loved the scene of first entrance what a glorious picture that forever lasts in one's memory however there is also one aspect that i would like to draw the attention of all people interested to see the film the egyptian is similar to other epics in many respects but it also stands out as a unique film there are very few films which make such a wonderful use of different as for ancient times there is a mention of iron used first by the it's also the only film about ancient egypt which talks openly of magnificent abilities it shows the of particularly the moment of a death for whom no one cares followed by the and consequently the mourning after the death of finally the egyptian shows one historical fact there were other nations except for jews before christ where the spirit of god in some human hearts yet the only difference was that it did not survive that long as at because it did not have a strong the scene of death supplies you with so many biblical and christian values that you may think you watch a religious movie br br all things considered i highly recommend michael film it is a great production at multiple levels an entertainment for epic fans an admiration of marvelous performances for cinema fans a soul feast for spiritual people finally it is a beautiful story of extraordinary things which happened thirteen centuries before the birth of jesus christ,positive
i just got back from seeing comedian it was alright it kept me looking at the screen its just not the type of thing i like to go pay 7 to see br br now don't get me wrong it'd make a great hbo feature if this were something i was watching on tv i'd be hooked right in it gives an amazing look at what comics go through before and after getting on stage it will interest anyone who likes watching comics br br but when i go to the movies i like to be entertained i'm not there to be educated now i know what its like for jerry seinfeld before he goes out on stage great but i'd rather just laugh at his jokes than worry about any of that br br one more thing with the bad attitude adams has i'd expect to see him taking my order from king before i see his hbo special he wasn't funny he's the kind of person that you love to hate,negative
a competent comedy that delivers the laughs for fans of jack lemmon and walter matthau i suppose this film was made for those who enjoyed the two grumpy old men films as there seemed to be a bunch of these buddy team ups the comical duo in their twilight years the idea is a sure fire one matthau a bumbling who's thousands of dollars in debt his unsuspecting friend lemmon into taking a free cruise with him where they can meet rich old ladies the catch is they've been signed on as dance and matthau can't dance br br out to sea is a funny film and not all of the chuckles are to be found courtesy of lemmon and matthau i found brent best known as data from star trek the next generation to be very humorous as the ball dance as the boss of the two aging actors he manages to match them in the laughs department though the film doesn't really need any there's also a a love story or two to be found here as well involving cannon who looks pretty fine for her years,positive
i really like salman so i was really disappointed when i seen this movie it didn't have much of a plot and what they did have was not that appealing salman however did look good in the movie looked young and but was worth the price of this dvd the music was not bad it was quite nice usually indian movies are at least two to three hours long but this was a very short movie for an indian film the american actress that played in the movie is from the television hit series heroes ali her acting had a lot to be desired however she did look good in the indian dresses that she wore all the movie had not a lot to be desired and i hope salman does a lot better on his next movie thank you,negative
to identify this movie as a vampire movie would be technically correct simply because it will suck the life right out of you br br vampire effect is an insult to movie buffs everywhere the plot is almost non existent the make up is just plain awful and the acting is just not there br br i have to wonder if jackie chan someone a huge favor to be convinced to appear in this film br br my wife picked up the movie at the rental store because it had a picture of jackie chan on the front as though he was playing the lead and thought that a good flick would be fun to watch this movie was interesting to watch in the same way that you can't help staring at the car wreck when you drive by you realize very quickly the movie isn't going to get any better but you keep watching wonder just how bad it will get,negative

after watching the movie a few times i found so many subtle touches and emotions within the dialogue the assassin has become one of favorite movie characters of all time this fine chinese actor says more with his eyes and his economy of words and movements then any big screen american actor today the emperor is brilliant as he leads the audience to believe the kindness in his heart only to the most cruel acts upon the people around him the promises he makes with incredible passion and with an evil fist li as in just about every movie i've ever seen her in is simply fantastic her screen is so and emotionally charged br br in case you couldn't tell i loved this movie br br,positive

it's hard to imagine that the battle of directed by the legendary d w griffith was made a way back in it is a showcase for style br br the story centers around a group of called the cameron brothers and their families which include a young mae sent out from the east to live with her and a young wife who has just given birth a group of indians tries to capture the pet dogs and are driven off by the men folk during the confrontation the indian son henry b is killed the indian chief plots his revenge and an attack on the small community of br br it is this attack which is quite brutal and graphic for this or any other time that forms the core of the picture the indians slaughter the towns folk women and children alike and drive them out of town towards the the baby becomes separated from its mother and all hell breaks loose someone goes for help and returns in the nick of time with the br br the battle scenes contain some graphic violence for example we see a woman being alive and there is also a sequence where we see a horse being shot down i have never seen an animal being so convincingly on screen mr griffith was becoming a master of staging large scale battle scenes a talent that he would use in his epic civil war drama the birth of a nation released the following year br br even though it runs a minutes the battle of is nonetheless an exciting and historic bit of film making see if you can spot lionel barrymore and harry carey in bit parts,positive

i first saw this film by chance when i was visiting my uncle in arizona about 3 and 1 2 years ago the vhs print was a little faded looking but i was very haunted by what i had watched did it all make sense well honestly no it didn't however this is a film that requires more than one viewing to understand all of its aspects the beautifully tragic score haunted me and the bizarre images made quiet an impression br br well when i found out that anchor bay had released this on dvd i picked it up immediately i was very pleased by the transfer though i felt the extras rather lacking though the film concerns the o and sir stephen characters it really has nothing to do with pauline original novel or the 1974 film the story of o however the film does pay attention to artistic detail and symbolism of an almost kind o decides to prostitute herself for sir stephen in violent 1920s hong kong her mission is to prove her devotion and love for her master through giving her body to other men naturally sir stephen enjoys watching her during her unpleasant sexual and even finds himself a mistress however the tables are turned when o actually finds a kind of love with a young male admirer suddenly sir stephen feels the threat br br i feel that the deep meaning behind the film including the tragic score and artistic direction really make this film a classic the viewer is introduced not only to the lives and of o 's fellow mates but the turmoil of 1920s hong kong is also explored like the political setting the prostitutes all find themselves in need of no one is happy in the film even if they believe that they are however o does find a sense of happiness with her young admirer one prostitute remembers how her father used to act like a dog when she was drunk naturally leading to a fetish for having her customers act like a dog another older prostitute is obsessed with her past as an actress she cannot let that vision go she treats her as co stars and even she hears a piano in the river br br as for o she has a flashback about her father leaving her in a circle when he leaves she feels a sense of of course in that same flashback kinski suddenly becomes her father i was very very disturbed by this image i truly felt for o at this point in the film she hardly ever smiles and this scene really explains why her fear of is so great that she sees sir stephen as her father and to his every obscene demand in hopes of proving her love br br another curious aspect of the film is the young child that ages at the end that sells fortune in a box it is a very random character but somehow it just adds to the sense of loss and in the film at one point the director even uses painted cardboard figures to represent people now if that isn't symbolism for you laugh br br all in all i really love this film i feel that it is a very deep and somewhat moving experience it has erotic scenes but the scenes aren't really meant to like the lives of the characters the sex acts are empty they are motions but lack feeling and once again the only tender scene is between o and the young man o believes she is in love and that herself is an honor however she finds in the end that she has choices she too can be her own person and pursue her own happiness however she also has the option to stay in that circle that her father drew the director leaves a lot of unanswered questions however some things don't need answers the viewer will make the judgment that works for them br br i must say that i wish a special edition of this dvd would be released that had director commentary i think it would be fascinating to hear his opinion of the film and its message years later it is a shame that the soundtrack was never released this film has a truly haunting and heart breaking score there is something about the lingering that send a chill up my spine i can truly feel the sense of loneliness in the film by just listening to the music,positive

i saw this film at school and absolutely loved it based on a true story this is an absolutely splendid masterpiece of a film seriously i couldn't find anything wrong with it one definite plus is how it was filmed set in in the wind and the lion is filled with stirring images like the great on especially the cinematography was the editing was crisp the costumes were gorgeous and the scenery was breathtaking and i have to mention the music from jerry it was phenomenal i have used this phrase a lot recently but ain't my favourite film composer for nothing his score here is so rousing and exciting it shows the man's true musical genius and this gem of a score should be up there with best scores with legend rambo first blood and the secret of br br the action is and the screenplay is intelligent and sophisticated the direction is handled too the performances were astounding as well with sean connery ever the picture of charisma and magnificent as the great he almost the entire picture on his own he is joined by a a john huston and a captivating brian keith in one of his more understated performances the history is fairly accurate perhaps flimsy in some areas but with the acting music and visuals so good i am past caring 10 10 cox,positive
2 back in business wasn't as good as it's original but was just as funny the movie itself lacked little things which the original held which made it much more enjoyable back in business seemed to be just another worthless sequel made to bring in money with a very thin plot cedric the terrible excuses for flashbacks ruined the movie and seemed to be a bad way to try and get the audience to adapt more with the character overall 2 back in business was a sequel not needed without the originals charm soul spark,negative
ram usually makes so so cookie cutter formula fare lifted from some hollywood flick his every film after is in the cookie cutter genre occasionally he makes a truly horrible movie like this one br br for the first minutes we are introduced to the only 2 characters a struggling as a skilled dancer go figure and a wannabe actor trying to strike it rich in bollywood they fall in love zero becomes hero dancer gets no break angst the usual more angst song dance angst some more more ridiculous and before you know it you're fast asleep and this despite the hot sexy hot hot sexy hot of the leading lady dancer br br but hey you're not alone the editor director photographer in fact the whole cast and crew are asleep thru out the entire production only difference being they got paid to while you paid money for this crap so you lose ha on you don't feel sorry for yourself but for our poor broke gal as she tones up daily in her high rise in the of and exercise wear when will the poor get a break she's br br cannot act lost his tried hard but failed no plot no story nothing she must've paid to make this all nonsense stuff in addition to free lessons on his casting couch what a super deal no need for an acting career br br such absolute rubbish can only be made in bollywood of course,negative
this is the movie that finally pushed me over the line into with imdb so that i could vote for and comment on it i've only recently come to appreciate well produced war movies and this is one of the most thoughtful i've seen br br stunning is the word that comes to mind when i think of this viewing experience my husband and i watched this film last night for the first time it is gently moving yet exciting at the same time not a this story in the hands of hollywood could have become just another smarmy action packed top gun time br br the two lead actors playing and played off of each other well and is a very pretty boy without seeming to or exploit that fact in terms of acting ability and appearance my husband said tongue in cheek well he's no tom cruise i thank god if you appreciate beautiful and understated acting see this one,positive
what a boring movie while it did have humorous parts it was just plain boring and lengthy for a 90 minute movie i believe that the cause was a lack of action br br when i rented this movie i expected to see white blood cells combat the evil but no such luck it was more that the virus was than defeated br br the movie had promise but since made for little in mind it did not meet its potential in my opinion,negative
is the cannes controversy remarkably or is that we americans are so and cynical that we never bother to read between the lines anymore be that as it may with plenty of careful at no point seems to live up to the hyped controversy it supposedly brought to cannes in 2005 a drab and movie that rather lives up to it's american re title low profile br br building on familiar themes of angst and subsequent sexual kind of admittedly it's a film not without it's surface level interests it starts out with a as a haunting shot of a desolate off the highway road focuses in on a teenage drifter who ultimately walks by a car where supposedly a brutal hit and run has left the driver dead in a gory mess stunned he does nothing but pick up a of the remaining engine br br just out of school the drifter turns out to be a product of the german with minimal ambition by his caring but somewhat parents to find a good job he interview after interview with every along with it every one with the same outcome getting mighty sick of it his aforementioned highway encounter soon his first act of rebellion claiming responsibility for the crime which he did not commit br br pretending to fill out more and going to more and more bizarre job interviews by sunrise he in sexual fantasies and petty way after as the days get shorter and the nights get much as he goes on living in his suburban neighborhood as if he's doing nothing out of the ordinary br br if you seem confused about what exactly is going on don't worry about being the only one this is about as far and coherent as the story gets the plot seems simple enough and perhaps due to it's seemingly direct purposes that's why becomes convoluted becoming with endless false conclusions situations and graphic sex scenes to try and a story lacking clear logic to an already vague argument supposedly the soul numbing effects of the modern suburban or something about fascination with crime hey it could even be a coming out movie at hand it spends a lot of time creating numerous symbols both and but they don't seem to be really anything of interest br br the most fatal flaw however is how the filmmakers paint all it's characters in a rough of vanilla there's hardly any traits to help understand their purpose and how the secondary characters especially the confused relationship between and his rather normal perhaps too normal family the already under developed lead character's plight never comes into focus how are we supposed to identify with this young almost rebellion with little sense of the world he's living in or the prominent figures around him that help it br br many people drop in and out of the movie including sort of girlfriend and a strange visitor who for some reason finds pleasure in watching the protagonist eat and seem to exist for no reason whatsoever they ultimately just seem like prolonged padding to an already thin story with pointless subplots that continue to prove the movie is drawing a total blank about where to go next br br and even a movie that supposedly toys with reality especially with exploits it ends with a literal almost head that seems to halt questions to a story that does little but put it's viewer in a state of exhausted br br without any color it's impossible to anything vital in,negative
just seen which way to the front on tcm uk it is a truly awful film if i'd paid at the pictures i'd have walked out br br a terrible mess of a film lewis and his mates around in cast off uniforms from an italian sci fi movie of 1960's were the peace symbol on the uniforms meant to be ironic the sets were pure 1970 i'm sure a hollywood tv back lot could have provided a more realistic set br br the film is with racism the film takes the mickey out of veterans br br not funny how lewis every got to make another film is beyond me,negative
it may have been thrilling for an audience in 1946 but the movie is now a bit boring i had a hard time sitting through the whole thing and it was very predictable i mean we know from the beginning of the movie that welles is the nazi war criminal and i'll give you one guess as to whether he is caught and appropriately in the end br br not worth watching it's sad that welles only made three movies worth seeing in his long career kane and a touch of evil,negative
going into this movie i knew two things about it i knew that it was a real extreme flick and i knew that it was somewhat artsy both appeal to me in their own right but when placed together it can be something truly unique and this was damn right without a doubt unique like i said above it is an artsy film the way they used some intense sound it reminded me a lot of an film visually i haven't seen anything like it the cinematography and lighting were done very well the movie seriously uses visuals and sounds better than anything i've seen in a while especially when you consider the experience these young filmmakers had couple 20 year olds you really have to take your hat off to them br br the movie isn't easy to describe or even discuss there isn't an actual you could say it revolves around the right and left side of the brain and how they control your think it's four segments or four ideas brought alive through visual and extremes there is some talking hear and there but it's mostly a non speaking film br br the first segment is the and it revolves a naked body and an try and guess what wrong the second segment is my favorite it involves a brother and a sister who looks a little like sarah silverman but with bigger boobs the brother is crazy and the sister is somewhat of a whore i would say this is the most extreme of all the segments and the most well made the gore effects in this one were great the third segment revolves around a bunch of naked people it up with mother earth it's probably considered the weakest of the bunch but still is smart and well made the fourth segment is probably the strongest of the film and i'd also say the deepest for myself i'll have to view this a couple times to understand what's truly being said i know that it christianity in a way that would most likely make your mother or throw give it a try br br cruelty was recommended to me and i'm proud to say this is now in my movie collection it's extreme violent gory very sexual and surprisingly pretty damn thought provoking the next line i'm about to say has been used in almost every review i've read for this film this movie is not for everyone now ain't that the truth if you're into extreme films and or you're just a lover of film that wants to see something check this out 8 1 2 outta 10,positive
if it were possible i would have given this sorry excuse for a movie a zero star it was by far the worse i have ever seen it was as if it were a home movie that some bored decided to make as a joke the acting was horrific the actors didn't even react to the fact that they were being murdered br br honestly i bought this movie by mistake the spanish title said 3 so i thought hmm maybe it'll be ok wrong it was honestly the worst ever i didn't get past 20 minutes of the stupid movie i through chapters and nothing interesting ever seemed to happen br br the were also terrible it was like a home movie i would never recommend anyone to watch this terrible terrible moronic movie,negative
i don't honestly know what legal or illegal substance they the writers were on when the wrote this horrid piece of tripe br br the cast sucks the plot sucks the editing sucks the whole premise of the movie is that a girl with psychic powers comes across a lesbian vampire you just have to be totally out of your head to watch even 1 minute of this br br the only reason i had to watch it it was on the here network as part of a two picture purchase and the movie that came on after it was the real one that i wanted to see i fast through the whole thing and was just amazed how stupid this movie was in double speed br br do not rent buy or watch this movie the vampires in the movie don't suck as much as the overall movie and production does br br if you want a good lesbian vampire movie the with david susan sarandon excellent movie to watch own rent in place of this piece of pure sh t,negative
i saw this the week it opened four years ago and i really did not know what to expect being unfamiliar with work at the time he has created a very intriguing and ultimately moving account of an odd character one for whom the phrase is for no longer applies it me at every turn and i was constantly surprised by the story i enjoyed the pacing very much and the way i was gradually given the pieces to work out what was happening tony is superb as is it opens with a brilliantly stylish wide shot and concludes with a very moving image that takes the movie into sublime territory i thought long afterwards about the main character and the position he was in and his final fate and i didn't shake it for weeks i recently bought the film and that final scene where he thinks about his friend gets me every time i still have yet to talk to anyone who has seen this it's a shame that it did not reach a wider audience as if this is the direction of italian cinema it can only be a good thing,positive
i love juan he's my absolute favorite bad movie director and throughout his whole career he tried to cash in on simply every successful contemporary trend in the horror and fantasy genres after the big hit that was superman j p made his own and hilarious man he picked in on the violent slasher movie madness with the insane pieces and he really over himself with the return of e t the and downright laughable sequel to spielberg's sf blockbuster the is obviously inspired by the series of underwater monster movies like the and six from start to finish you can yourself by all the stolen ideas and shameless rip offs of these and other classics when a completely new and fancy type of submarine near the deep a second mission with u boat designer hayes on board is sent out to investigate what really happened to one in the dark depths of the ocean the rescue mission discovers an underwater where the government secretly experiments with mutant sea creatures the monsters are quite aggressive but there's also the danger of a government enemy among the crew members the is a forgettable film but it nevertheless has some ingenious – though very dodgy – monster models fans of blood and gore won't complain neither as the attacks are quite gruesome and the acting is very wooden although many of the cast names can definitely do better it's that you simply enjoy the clichés and gory effects in the the because if you start about the screenplay you'll find that it makes absolutely no sense,negative
i won't bore you with any synopsis chances are you already know them and hopefully you are already familiar with park chan work br br i strongly disagree with some of the other in saying that park has not moved on from the vengeance trilogy blah blah blah because you know what he has the vengeance trilogy were different from each other in style to begin with how can you even compare the and subtlety of sympathy for mr vengeance with the frantic and of park chan has incredible style but his movies don't all share the same style that has been true and remains true with the release of br br is an incredible picture it literally has everything you want in a movie jaw dropping violence gore great humour incredible suspense and even very realistic sex scenes the story is so crazy that at no point can you guess what will happen next i'm so happy to say that park is back in top form with this fantastic dark comic vampire love story watch it as soon as you can,positive
i did not quite get o – it is one of the ones i have watched the soundtrack was quite unusual as well – written and performed by jean michel it makes the movie than it was i have to admit that i was almost going to change it and watch another one instead times the movie seemed plain dumb to me or boring – or confusing there are quite a few sexual references in that movie – they too are kind of messed up probably the only phrase that i will remember out of it is going to be when you are alone you can control things – and i will show them or something like that the boy in that movie was obsessed with the idea of not growing up – the last summer as a child he thought once – and he sure lived it to the max so if you have few hours to spare you can watch this movie – but you won't miss much if you don't,negative
the best so bad it's good movie ever made ray moore is my personal hero whether dealing with day to day life or down the block i can always look to him for inspiration and when it comes to the man nobody is watch as he and his army of all female kung fu killers take down mr big and willie green awesome plot huh there are so many one liners that multiple viewings are necessary to improve your if you say a couple of lines from you are instantly cool if you are in the mood for a laugh riot rent this movie also check out the human disco godfather and the devil's son in law now can you dig that br br you no business insecure rat soup eating ',positive
i didn't know anything about this movie before i watched it it seems to be a lesser known teen horror from the 80's what struck me were the ways it from so many other movies from that era br br the first thing i noticed was how slowly this movie builds it doesn't do the typical setup of showing characters being murdered one by one it takes its time building the back story leaving a little bit of mystery about what might happen i was almost starting to think no one would even really get hurt in this movie but everything leads to the climatic sequence during the last 15 minutes and then it gets fairly graphic this was a bad time to take a break i almost couldn't finish my pizza once it started br br the characters also seem slightly more three dimensional than a lot of the cheap teen scare flicks there conversations were level headed for the most part as opposed to the over the top stereotypes you'd expect for example the girl who is the popular queen of the isn't constantly insults at everyone but is capable of having doubts and showing some consideration for others br br so to i felt this movie was somewhat original compared to what i expected and a little better made as well it drew me in kept me interested and then let me have it as i said it's pretty gory during the finale but almost family friendly much of the rest of the time i don't need to own it but i'm glad i discovered it,positive
seriously disappointing performance by brad pitt and q t the plot is very superficial and lame and unless intended this film actually the nazis and portrays them as men of honor and show that the jewish people are cant keep promises and bloody vicious the following contains spoiler hitler together with the most notorious nazis are attending a stupid plot less movie about the killing of 300 italian soldiers in a small cinema theater in paris is unbelievably ridiculous the nazis laughing and each killing in the movie as if watching a basketball game stupid the deal at the end is lame whats really appalling is that the movie earned great reviews and is here in the 40s amongst the greatest 250 films will not be surprised if it many awards including oscars as well the movie is simply a kissing ass to the jewish people but hey its not even doing a great job doing that it truly the whole nazi jews conflict and a pure insult to all who fought and suffered from the of the nazis,negative

the movie takes place during the year 1940 and the french are about to loose the war br br the movie includes all genres comedy romantic murder and history it is the historical part may be not as as the rest br br it is not however a big laugh movie but the occasional large smile,positive
one of those movies in which there are no big twists whatsoever and you can predict pretty much whats is going to happen matt dillon was awesome once again but the rest didn't played a bigger part as they should have br br it was exciting in the beginning but kinda slow paced and predictable in the end its one of those flicks in which the good guy wins no matter happens if you have absolutely nothing to do you can give it a try i personally found it not worth watching the story could have been more interesting and the director could have made it less of a b movie by a happy ending,negative
four friends is one of those films that you go to without any expectations only to find yourself knocked for a loop you sort of file it away but then you hear the song georgia on my mind by ray charles and images and vague feelings begin to on the edge of your consciousness and then you remember this crazy film which made you laugh and cry almost at the same time br br why is this film so memorable first at least for people who lived through it all because it captures so well the of the times its hopes its its sincerity and above all the emotional roller coaster ride that leads to a poignant nostalgia and then the acting is just so amazing all angst and passion georgia as difficult to grasp as a will the but enchanting nevertheless and louis the handicapped room mate with charm to spare who attacks life with gusto and takes each moment with a smile because he knows only too well that it just might be his last br br how long has it been since you saw a film that made you really care about the people in the story even if they were far from perfect the film presents you with people whose choices are not necessarily commendable but the film never it just allows us to appreciate the human condition in all its variety even the minor characters have a well defined personality and a history which is why this film seems so real even when some of the actions and reactions might seem over the top because that's the way life is when you think about it and why this film you with a complexity that is defined by character truly an amazing and satisfying experience,positive
not as well known as the english american german and french cinema though cinema from sweden from the was also quite good interesting and revolutionary br br this is a movie that is made great by its story the story is told in 'a christmas kind of way in which the death himself confronts the deceased with his past present and what could have been it's of course a story that concentrates on morals and it does this very well the message comes across as very powerful and effective this is of course also definitely due to the effective directing from the father of swedish cinema victor br br the story is based on the novel by other swedish author the story is adapted by victor himself who perhaps should had taken out a few more elements to let the story and movie flow better it perhaps takes a bit too long before the movie starts to take form and the story gets clear but when the movie does take form and pace it becomes a really wonderful one br br the movie does not only have a great story it also is a good looking one the movie uses some early and effective effects and uses some different color to create the right mood and to indicate what it past present and br br did not only wrote and directed this movie he also plays the main character of course the acting in the movie is over the top at times by todays standards but not as bad as in for instance early german movies was the case and after all this movie is more about its story and morals than it is about the acting so it really doesn't matter much or br br a really great and effective underrated silent movie classic from sweden br br 9 10,positive
i decided to watch this movie in order to fall asleep it kept me awake so it was interesting however it was pretty bland br br the acting was good i don't think any of the actors did a bad job mickey rourke is as believable as an over the hill hit man can be the dialogue in this movie does not provide much opportunity for these actors to show off their full potential but they still br br the atmosphere was great music was good and colors matched the mood that the director wanted to paint for the viewers even the weather enhanced the mood of the movie everything was well done br br the failures of this movie are in its story development the storyline with the mafia vs doesn't get enough attention the storyline for carmen and wayne's divorce doesn't get explained the fbi seems to work extra fast here is there no for all these is it really that easy to dig up your brother's body from his grave burn the corpse and have it be identified as you there are too many in the storyline for me to give this movie anything higher than a 4 out of 10 rating i wouldn't recommend this movie to people unless they're really bored and have some really good even if wow is down for go find something better to do than watch this movie,negative
if you have not heard of this film it follows two from a camp in africa to america where they convince themselves they will find success and life is harder than expected in the states and this film beautifully captures the frustration felt when things are not going right the lives are captured so well many moments seem scripted because they're so perfect whether it be on the job at school or the time in between the two boys peter and are very honest with the filmmakers and make some very thought provoking comments about life in the states it's one of the only documentaries i can recall that when it ended i wanted it to go on for another two hours it might be difficult to find this movie cause it didn't get great distribution but check your local art house or independent theater and give this one a go side note if you're reading this when it's already on video then definitely it's worth a rent rating 28 40,positive
tourist trap 1979 is an entertaining horror movie from the late 70's the movie is about a bunch of young friends who get stranded on an old deserted lane by a creepy old museum br br the owner of the museum seems like a strange but harmless old man but things take a very nasty turn when members of the young group start getting killed off who is responsible for the murders is it old man or is it his collection of creepy who seem to be alive and hungry for blood this film was good stuff it was fast faced the performances were very good from the actors actresses roberts was very sexy and the film was never boring and like i say it had some very creepy scenes so be prepared to hide under the covers definitely recommended to horror movie ghost story fans i give this film a highly respectable 7 2 out of 10,positive
this is an awesome movie and if you haven't seen it you should go to the video store right now and rent it first off the cast is superb not only does it have current stars like ryan and billy bob but it also has your stars of like judge it also has numerous cameos by actors like jon bon ted and jamie lee curtis second off the story was quite good also it was interesting how they took a plot for a movie and almost made it dramatic it takes the drug situation in the united states and instead of giving it a comedic face like in half baked it has a true life lesson image like traffic so watch this movie if you're a it will give you insight into something you love if you don't do drugs it will give you a more realistic view of drugs than either side wants you to see,positive
destined to be a classic before it was even this game deserves all the recognition it deserves at a time when first person like iii and unreal are all the attention of computer graphic adventures are a dying breed with great pun and humour the curse of monkey island is a game that people of all age groups would enjoy life can only improve after playing the curse of monkey island the sequel escape from monkey island is already destined to be a classic too i guarantee it,positive
although i can see the potentially redeeming qualities in this film by way of it's intrigue i most certainly thought that the painfully long nature in the way the scene structure played out was too much to ask of most viewers enormous holes in the screenplay such as the never explained your father died today comment by the mother made it even harder to try to make sense of these characters br br this won first place at cannes in 2001 which is a shock considering perhaps the french had been for film noir that year and were desperate for something as sadistic as this film i understood the long scenes as a device to keep the viewer as uncomfortable as possible but when matched with the inability to relate to the main character it went too far for me and kept me at arms distance from the story altogether br br this is a film for only the most dedicated fan of film noir and one who expects no from having watched a film once it's over i loved movies such as or for a dream which were far more disturbing but at least gave the viewer something in the way of editing and pacing to watch this teachers slow and painful silence scene after scene just became so redundant that i found it tedious and i really wanted to like this film at every turn,negative
this was a pretty dull movie actually i think the problem with a french horror film is that the french must be easy to scare or something because this movie wasn't just that frightening the special effects with the ghost looked like they didn't even belong in the film as though someone put them in during post production to spice them up because the actors barely react to them br br the plot just kind of which is the opposite of real storytelling i guess this was based on a french tv series where they had to it down to a two hour movie br br the plot is that a mummy is brought out of in the which apparently has such weak security that this girl and her boyfriend can break into it multiple times so that's how people keep stealing the lisa the boyfriend and the police officer from the 1960's version of this film get together and try to the demon br br so i'm not sure if this mummy was supposed to be a bad guy or not he kills two guards during the course of the movie but he just wants to get to the,negative
this was one of the worst columbo episodes that i have seen however i am only in the second season br br the typical columbo activities are both amusing and irritating his causing him trouble have been seen before and the bit where he always in some way with the murderer in this case cooking tho the scene on the tv cooking show distracted from the main theme br br also not explained was why the brother at the beginning of the show was cutting part of the of the the reason was never explained nor did it serve any purpose but the part i disliked the most was the death of the bride to be this was never explained and it is the main reason why i give this episode such a low grade,positive
you thought after surprise that german comedy can't get worse it can this comedy is yet another attempt at stereotypes of gay men masked as a nice comedy the initial concept openly gay men in soccer sports would have been a great opportunity to some stereotypes but the real intended message of the movie seems to be in what way gay men are oh so different from straight men absolutely silly of course even gay sex is treated as being of less value than straight sex this movie only tries to serve straight audiences wanting to laugh about stereotypical gay men well don't waste your time on german comedy movies,negative
i am a fan of a few of the vacation films but when a movie franchise goes from the big screen to the tv screen you know it's out of steam made for tv national lampoon films do not do well on tv this movie is another reason br br i think a lot of us were excited when this was coming out but we also had to face the reality it's a tv movie randy quaid is fine as cousin eddie but is better in a supporting role than the lead dana sets history as the first actor to her role as one of the kids she is just as pretty but it doesn't help a thin script br br why was this movie even made it was probably because nbc recently picked up another few years of presenting x vacation there is nothing wrong with the acting it's all in the script it's just not that funny people need to think before they write stuff like this it is one christmas movie i do not recommend,negative
okay they tell you it's real they don't list any screenwriters or directors but one viewing of this movie will prove to anyone it's not real in the way you were hoping for the speaking rarely sounds like real natural talk but also down not sound to be scripted possibly loosely scripted to me it sounded much more like they were always trying to ad which they almost always did poorly therefore they knew they were making a not just collecting real natural footage so i'm sure these people knew what was going on knew they had certain spots to look for things that were set up and they were just told to ad around it all br br br br okay it's so lame every item spot or thing that could be strange or use d as a scare is magically stumbled upon by these people let me list off the ridiculously obviously things that happened that i remember br br 1 less than 2 minutes of entering the house they turn a light switch on the light sparks and a almost falls on a guy br br 2 they happen to find an old medical bag with a bloody butcher knife in it while exploring the br br 3 they hear a noise in an so they open the door slowly a cat happens to be in there and jumps straight at the camera while br br 4 then they happen to notice there is a hole in the wall so let's stick our hand in wow they pulled out a doll of a baby wrapped in mummy tape br br 5 let's go to the attic uh oh it feels up here boom a chair flies across the room br br 6 time to eat oh no the girl that was scared of bugs had a roach in her lol ridiculous br br 7 let's get out the board one of the legs on the fell off the side of the board that couldn't be because the people were pushing it could it they find out a ghost there is named charles br br 8 wait what was that noise in the oh my fell out i think she kept people up here br br 9 now girl is going to brave looking up the oh what's this she sees something and is asking people who aren't looking up the what it is it falls off straight at her perfect camera shot she moves just in time it was more chain br br 10 now we have to separate and each our rooms wouldn't it be something if things started happening one by one to these people now okay br br chick 1 wow suddenly her room is shaking but no one does br br dude 1 actually says to himself charles is that you charles it can't be you because you're just a of my imagination aren't you charles well guess what he gets knocked over and dragged across the floor another lucky camera shot br br chick 2 hears things try to communicate and is standing there getting or something br br dude 2 he was in the attic reached his arm through a hole in the floor and got a i don't remember what else br br 11 dude 2 runs gets chick 2 they hear chick and dude 1 screaming they find them to a wall and to a table they leave cut to black final text tell us they escaped safely were treated for minor cuts they have since had nightmares and insomnia we also find out the next day a call was made by they name a someone named charles br br over br br okay when i first heard this movie was being made i couldn't wait i thought it was going to be real real real and more professional with more professional type people i love the idea of this type of thing i'd love to see real haunting footage before this movie was released i saw couple reviews of it by people online they both claimed how fake it was and how stupid the people were time passed i forgot about the film then i realized it was never released at theaters so i found out it went straight to video rented it found that every brutal review was completely true it's too bad i really wanted this to be good br br random thought the house didn't seem to have kitchen that i recall which would make me think no one has lived there for a long time especially the house is truly known for being haunted im pretty sure no one lives there but it looks so clean and and what was a cat doing there the property does not have near by neighbors br br all in all you'll only want to rent this if you and your friends wanna sit there and make fun of it or if you heard about it a long time ago and it intrigued you you will will be disappointed if you are expecting a good film or real film br br random thought i believe the producer says the you see is real well technically it is real footage isn't it real footage of fake maybe that was his loop hole br br i give this this movie one star strictly on the fact that they told the story of a real new orleans story br br the best performance was by the guy who teaches the participants about the ghost hunting equipment in the beginning he was obviously actually real or a good actor br br,negative
this movie was and everything in it was bland the acting the plot etc it was such a disappointment since the description looked so good do not be fooled this movie is not worth the time it takes to watch it,negative
talented screenwriter alvin sadly cannot get any engaging ideas cooking in this artificial about a mother and her mature teenage daughter trying to make their lives work in los angeles despite mom's behavior apart from several good sequences i didn't quite buy susan sarandon as a she's too smart and focused to be passed off as this devil may care lady and her naturally grounded personality is a bad fit for the role of an irresponsible parent natalie portman much better as her kid and yet there's a creepy to her work and some of her scenes such as the one where she asks a boy to strip are misguided and uncomfortable to watch certainly not an incompetent piece anywhere but here does have moments that work but it isn't an film nor has it proved to be an important one from,negative
i got monster man in a box set of three films where i mainly wanted the other two but still had a very pleasant time with it it horror and comedy to reasonable effect helped out considerably by the decent performances of eric as the geeky lead justin as his a hole friend and brooks as the love interest the film is fairly predictable and mines ideas from a host of other films but stays fun throughout with some good gruesome gore thrown in sure it doesn't measure up to the classic gory comedies but this still does fine director michael davis even manages one or two creepy scenes such as in the bathroom or the bar the film is watchable throughout if a little plotted and written and for me it only lost it a bit towards the end when the monster man of the title starts to resemble a member of and the film tries to go more horror style but isn't twisted or convincing enough the final moments are a weak as well still despite lack of much suspense and overall silliness this is a good example of often splatter comedy that should itself to fans of the same,positive
tepid poorly produced 70's made moore because of today's nonetheless this film is worthy stink fodder because of acting absent direction and silly 70's clothing sadly the remembers when clothing was all the rage this has the same sort of feel to it that some better 70's sci fi namely and run while the premise interesting rich people clone themselves to keep a ready supply of body parts to keep them alive forever the film makes the mistake of us with richard tim a clone who is at once both boring and irritating hollow acting by doesn't help but fits right in with the rest of the cast even such b as dick tv series ghost with 1 000 000 eyes dr the dark and peter graves beginning of the end killers from space it the world provide only the tepid performances produced directed and edited by a bunch of it's no surprise that fails to anyone in the least much less keep anyone's attention truth be told there's nothing in the feeble flick that even schlock fans would love wanna see some bad funny 70's films put on anything by clark is no bonus the says even the mst3k version is a so proceed at own risk,negative
eight freaks is a modern monster movie like a remake of any of the old of the giant insert animal here ' movies of the 50s 60s and 70s or rather it should have been more like a remake of the instead of what is was so how is a monster movie done in the year 2002 well from the typical opening with some chemical making the grow to huge proportions they mix movies like jurassic park starship troopers and flavor it with some parody like scary movie is probably the best comparison but eight freaks was so full of parodies and stupid jokes that it was sometimes more like scary movie it was way too much at least if you're looking for a monster movie and not just another parody movie filled with jokes br br for a movie like this you don't expect much of the acting and that is just the way it was the story though was extremely thin with just a bunch of loosely connected events to show off some action mixed with all of the jokes leading up to an easily spotted and corny ending br br i rate eight freaks a 4 10 and that includes the fact that the special effects where pretty good and that the noises the made where hilarious,negative
this film is about a young man's painful journey to discovering his sexuality br br the film is raw and it does not rely on steamy sex scenes to attract the viewers though the plot may seem incoherent and at times and some events are not properly explained i can understand it though because this film is a collection of memories that are highly personal to the director the subplot of about his sister and mother probably does not need to exist in the film but i can certainly imagine that these are very important events in his life br br the low budget of the film is clearly discernible it is a pity that the sound effects are poorly done the narration and some dialogs particularly the scene in the with the french teacher have so much echo which makes it hard to make out what is said the noise notable traffic noise is also captured throughout the film when a scene cuts into another the level of traffic noise changes br br this film is probably not entertaining but it certainly serves as an insightful diary of a young man's journey to his sexuality,negative
this movie seemed like it was put together very quickly in both plot and graphics my two daughters were ready to go 30 minutes before the end of the movie which rarely happens when we go to the theaters this was a production and it would have been better if they had released it on the t v station the animation itself in some parts was o k but the plot was horrible a classic tale of a son trying to fulfill a fathers expectations is used in a lot of kids movies but the animation or graphics need to be really good to keep a attention this was not the case with this film there were also awkward elements between the lead male character and the lead female character that the plot could have done without,negative
if you don't like bad acting poor editing ridiculous dialog and unbelievable characters you will hate this movie if you like all of the above that is to say if you are a lynch fan then you will love drive this is quite possibly the worst film to be rated above an 7 0 on imdb br br outside of work you will be hard pressed to find any competent acting in dr the other female lead went to the hide your face with your hands when you don't have the chops school of acting given the script they had to work with it's a wonder all of the actors weren't holding their heads in their hands br br characters wander in and out of the film that do nothing to advance the storyline you have a a mysterious cowboy an wife and her lover a type figure sitting in a room who speaks through an voice box and a host of others too numerous and tedious to mention suffice it to say that they manage to do little more than fill up screen time br br this isn't so bad however in that it the viewer from the fact that the movie has no plot you will wait and wait for for all of the loose threads to come together and in the end you will be disappointed the hardest thing for a writer to do is to bring everything together in a believable fashion at the end of a movie in a way that leaves everyone feeling the thing for a writer to do is to create a lot of odd characters and put them in scenes that are not connected to the movie as a whole and then to take what few coherent threads there are and them up at the end for the sake of surprise guess which way lynch goes surprise br br you know you have a bad script when you have to resort to dream sequences to make any sense out of it after all a dream sequence covers all sins dreams don't have to make sense anything can happen in a dream br br the editing is similarly disjointed let's just say good editing does not call attention to itself much of the way this film is edited seems to be done for the sole purpose of calling attention to the editing look at me you can see my editing aren't i a genius uh well no this movie has all of the of the worst and most self indulgent french films br br so why is this movie so popular my theory is that it is just another sign of the of our culture are hard to so let's listen to rap plots are hard to follow so let's with them pictures are difficult to paint so let's pee in a cup and stick a in it these are the of our times and drive is just another part of the,negative
went to the preview engagement of grand champion today dallas worth austin and a couple of other texas cities there are so few movies suitable for young children but this one is and it's great though the plot is a little hokey also the name of the steer in the movie it is a wonderful story for children and i enjoyed it too br br the film pretty well represents west texas ranch family life although a little exaggerated director author barry ought to get it right since he grew up in that environment he called the film his love letter to texas br br joey lauren adams plays the single mom of buddy fisher and sister emma roberts watch emma roberts julia niece she's very good and i think she will be in more films there are also cameo appearances from julia roberts bruce willis musicians george charlie robert earl keen joe and legends larry and br br if you have young children or just want to see a feel good movie check out grand champion when it comes to your city supposedly later this month will enjoy it and it will make you feel good br br i guess since i'm from west texas i might be a little biased i'm the film is excellent,positive
i really enjoyed the first film and when it turned up again without thinking or checking i took a family of friends to see it i was ashamed that i had so much about it to them br br disney the original film just like the human body a delicious meal takes in something good and turns out well you know and by having a dark skinned person as the fbi man the results of the were subdued br br taken as an isolated film i suppose it is not too bad if one likes that weird sort of thing but when one has read the book or seen the first film horrible,negative
the success of scream gave birth to a whole new horror flicks wave i'm happy with that as a big fan of horror and i liked most of those new horror films is a one big pack of horror colorful fast paced and original i see this movie more like the opening of a new trilogy much like episode 1 and aliens since it comes up with a new twist instead of focusing on the little boy killer doll relationship we have here a twisted movie about couples we have the sweet young lovers in contrast with the killer crazy doll sized lovers very inventive,positive
when i saw this in the cinema i remember at the bad acting about a minute or two into the first scene then immediately telling myself no this has to get better it didn't the performances are pretty uniformly and no there is no sexual chemistry in this film whatsoever just the awkward of a reasonably talentless actress who seems born to grace the cover of and not much else besides if the scriptwriter thought that making a character was a stunningly original creative he perhaps ought to get out more and if he'd given the matter a bit more thought would have realised that the story of carmen is just crying out for a thoughtful not this leave your brains at the affair of passion and comic book dialogue this is contemporary spanish cinema at its worst br br,negative
the subject matter of this film is potentially depressing a man about thirty with no job little education three kids from a failed relationship living in his parents' house but with a dream of directing feature films but about a half hour into the movie you realize that mark has a supply of drive and ambition it's just that it's all into his need to direct movies and nothing else will make him happy the movie jumps all over the emotional spectrum but in the end you come away feeling happy because you've just gotten to know some wonderful people go to see this you'll end up wishing it was longer,positive
the quote above just about says it all for i should have out of this film after the first half hour but decided i ought to be fair and give it a chance i won't watch it again so if anyone with the to do so can get back to me with the number of clichéd lines in the movie i'm sure it will set a record br br some otherwise fine and talented actors got mixed up with this mark portrays a futuristic bounty hunter and bill paxton is his character has prisoner an taking his name from the poet byron bob peck shoots paxton with a containing a tracking device so he and his companion kitty can keep on the pair the real question though is why didn't he just fire the device at byron thereby cutting out the br br if you enjoy scene after disjointed scene with tedious characterization and artsy then i suppose you'll find something of interest here but you can't convince me that the film makes sense on any level scenes of a futuristic stone age make way for high society but the of poor taste is reached when character is displayed following a night of with all over his if anyone thinks there's some hidden meaning here you're really br br waiting for the frame the end to come into view alas even that was denied if beauty is in the eye of the then so is understanding this movie had neither yet there was a single redeeming feature as the closing credits began their run an awesome view of a half dozen hot air apparently the film was keeping them,negative
this movie looked fun on the cover and i honestly thought bad can this be ' little did i know out of the gate the dialogue was unbearable it was contrived unrealistic and not even interesting dialogue on television shows is more natural sounding the story was implausible and had nearly zero play off at the end the end with the snake is almost confusing and seemed staged the only remotely interesting character is rose who is mute which her from being ruined with cliche ridden garbage dialogue well at least until the end when even she has to speak the only thing that even gives this a 3 over a 1 or 2 is rose nude scene truly awful save yourself the trouble and rent something more interesting like a barney video,negative
oh gosh i'm really fed up with all these generic japanese horror films about long haired female ghosts and ghostly kids ghost train is no exception it is clearly influenced by on and pulse two years ago i was into such modern ghost stories because they usually managed to give me some unfortunately there is nothing fresh or interesting in ghost train in fact the film is really boring goes missing in a subway tunnel like an school must investigate a mystery of multiple with the help of a youthful train conductor and another disappeared child's mother the film offers some mildly creepy moments however the cgi effects are laughable and the climax is illogical skip it,negative
a hilarious comedy by the best director ever oz scott the list of eighties tv icons goes on and on who's the boss family ties stone mr robinson night court wonder years mr hand it is one of the funniest movies ever great lines meaningless subplots cheesy bad acting it is about a group of high school kids who need to pass ed mac from night court needs them to pass their final or he'll be fired great performance by brian bloom as the jerk kinda cool guy but is nothing compared to b d a great movie for all ages so bad it's good,positive
after i saw this i that it was most likely a chick flick afterward i found out that mother wrote the screenplay so that pretty much confirmed it however a chick flick can have some appeal to men this one does not and really seems not to appeal that well either to women looking at the dismal box office one item that i believe both agree upon is the stupidity of the the scene in the movie an is made between the pain of to the pain of a being w o though men do not the pain of we understand that it is a painful process yet it is a natural pain whereas an certainly is not women understand this even better i suspect some woman was trying to make a feminist statement that is in poor taste in fact a lot of things in this movie are in very poor taste though movies nowadays are known for having poor taste this one really excels in that department this could have been a good movie that shows the struggles of dylan thomas during wwii and how strong the sentiment was against men who somehow managed to avoid serving in the military then screen writing mother tries to show how this sentiment was used against dylan but really this instead we get a chick flick about how two young mothers bond together sort of in a way perhaps somehow of note is the fact that a soldier the husband of the friend of wife is sent back home after serving in combat yet it is unclear if the war has ended a lot of things about this movie are similarly unclear and though i have stated that already i will do so again as it seems to be the central of this mess,negative
if you loved the 1993 erotic sci fiction cyborg film nemesis then you'll love this one i loved it the minute the elvis hero pulls out a samurai sword during a shoot out like nemesis its takes place in a post apocalyptic of the future both are police thrillers where the well armed hero must take on well armed rebels to solve a conspiracy by the powers that be against the masses but thats where the similarities ends the ambiguous mayor in dead or alive tries to keep the masses on the drugs he sells them the rebels aided by and a cyborg try to his hold on his subjects after several failed attempts to the rebels back he sends his top cop to the rebels this movie follows the track of most action adventure but isn't afraid to color outside the line,positive

not one of better not trying to be amusing here either chan entries the shanghai has a lot going for it but in the end is just way too confusing and to be overly satisfying the film opens with a murderer named the shanghai having already struck twice and now is about in a scene at a diner in some way we have a guy a girl and another guy having some implied connection when one guy dies in the streets yes i am things here for the sake of for this really is at the core of the problems with this film it has too much going on without any real fulfilling explanation i haven't even gone into the diner cook who has some involvement and a box that talks to you and has a screen and everyone doesn't seem to have a problem with that all this is in the first five minutes or so then chan enters film working for the government and flying out to help a friend he also has right to check a store of and is looking for a man wrapped in that he helped arrest in shanghai many years earlier i found the plot very involved as stated earlier is back as chan he is ever benson and are back too both do good jobs and are quite amusing but the convoluted plot just didn't convince me and much of the film was watched with a weird questioning glance this isn't a bad movie not just a very interesting one except for the most devoted of chan fans,negative
i just love this movie to bits me and my cousins enjoy this movie a lot and i am just such a huge fan i hope they bring the tv series out on dvd soon come to mention it i have not see the tv show in a long time such times where i come from australia the adventure is only known by people in their late teens and adult years which is kinda sad because the young kids don't know what there missing br br the songs in this film are ace the ones i love the most boys girls of rock diamond dolls and the song that sure to make you want to cry my mother br br this film is sure to both young and old get the adventure today 10 out of 10 such an excellent movie,positive
walker texas ranger is one of the worst shows produced in the past 10 years the script for james sidekick is about as written of a part as wesley on star trek and is played with about as much conviction br br on this show people don't respond the way people respond to things in real life everyone is everyone is either a completely good guy or a completely bad guy unless walker himself has a 2 minute talk with them and then they change instantly that's not how life works that's not how people are this show doesn't take place in this reality br br the plot lines are about as realistic as murder she wrote a show where an arrogant old lady can just walk into people's houses without them getting angry and she can demand that police officers do what she wants and they bend over backwards for her with walker everyone on the show including the bad guys act like he's the sort of hero that and fairy tales are made of and time itself to his the lines that sometimes come out of people's mouths on this show are beyond ridiculous it's as if the scriptwriter for the part of wesley for the serious parts and the scriptwriter for bob funniest home videos for the humor parts got together and wrote all the scripts for this show br br this show is for people who think that good always over evil it's for the elderly it's for it's for people who want to be guaranteed to always have a happy ending it's for people who want to drift away into oblivion it's for people whose drug of choice is their television br br i cringe every time i see even a commercial for this show my opinion is that it is the worst show to be on television in the last 10 years br br i used to like chuck norris but this show has forever him in my mind i can't even watch his older movies without thinking of this show,negative
an intense dark action drama with unusually rich support from keith et al many of whom get the best roles of their careers and run with it the film is oddly shaped often the action slows down just to let the characters get caught up in odd but well done seemingly improved dialogues during the almost all of the machine get caught up in perfectly delivered humorous monologues and reynolds the director deserves credit for having reynolds the star step back and give them room and unlike most action films you really get to like the characters which makes the 2nd half when their various good and bad unfold unusually affecting the combination of character development brutal violence a soundtrack tarantino must be a fan watch this then jackie brown and you'll see what i'm talking about make this occasionally flawed film the bad guys are a bit melodramatic one of the better modern cop films and in my mind superior to many of the overrated modern such as body heat such,positive
i purchased this one for a couple of dollars at the local video store as they out their tapes in favour of dvds i doubt they'll be replacing this one somehow br br i couldn't say that it's one of the worst movies i've ever seen but it's very dull no real cannibal scenes me me is not naked enough of the time only about 4 or 5 times and she's not the that i expected either so two of my reasons for watching this movie were knocked out br br there is some severe animal violence here for those that enjoy that sort of thing a great fight between a and a large snake gets quite bloody animal torture as well some of which is real and some fake thankfully the fake is somewhat funny but the real is just a little sickening br br generally speaking it's a 70s film overly long under developed not as deep as it would have liked to have been but it's something different right one and a half stars,negative

so remakes curse of the a second time this time replacing the interesting characters of the original with a bunch of obnoxious anti and he adds a most of the movie is spent listening to the self righteous characters on about the evil pigs while between this of are flashbacks to what happened on the island before they got there experiments were started to grow people spoke to each other without coming off as being morally superior etc needless to say it would have been a much better movie if they would have made the flashbacks the movie and forgotten about the do i forget there are a few short scenes scattered here and there where the than gets picked off one by one but they probably less than 2 of the film the main event our title characters against each other lasts about one minute and is as exciting as watching the previews for the latest crisis video game br br the acting is pretty bad overall even for this sort of film half the actors seem like they're more concerned with every last of every word than speaking their dialog in any sort of believable manner br br i actually did make it through to the end but it's one of those movies i wish i would have recorded and then watched later because there are plenty of parts that need to be fast through overall i give this effort one star it has absolutely none of the elements that make a b movie fun to watch it's a sad day indeed when you can say with sincerity that the makers of this movie could have learned a thing or two from watching vs python,negative
a beautiful film about the coming of early silent cinema to china shadow magic combines a love story with the drama of the cultural clash between ancient traditions and modern western culture in the form of film an amazing first film by chinese director ann if i correctly understood ms comments at the 2000 sundance festival this film was produced as an american film with co funding by the chinese government and shot in china shadow magic reminds me of films like and cinema not necessarily in theme or plot but it has a similar feel,positive
how could anyone who liked the previous movies even stand to sit through this 1 hour of drivel there are so many stupid things about this film it's mind i remember when i went to see as a kid it was my favorite movie and franchise the acting the the music the direction all fantastic in my opinion was ok pretty much the same apart from some really stupid moments like the girl kicking a please but on a whole a watchable and reasonable cinematic experience br br but the the third one has no point it's supposed to be a sequel that on from and yet it magically includes brand new things to the franchise that would have been impossible to miss on the previous 2 films for example 1 the new mega seriously what the hell this thing follows them everywhere they go they cannot escape it's presence and yet in the lost world the same island do you see it once do you hear it does anyone even mention it no its ridiculous the star character in the previous 2 movies was and always will be the t rex so what does the d joe go and do kill it off as soon as you see the huge t rex in all its awesome roaring glory it gets killed and you never see it again a new on the town is the excuse where did it come from not a single explanation and don't get me started on the whole satellite phone in the belly thing 2 just when you start to get over how stupid the is you see the aside from their new punk they seem pretty credible they will make this movie watchable right wrong now they speak to each other and the excuse for them speaking in this film and not in the first and second are wait for it evolution yes the process of millions of years in just a few months from when the second movie ended amazing they should have grown thumbs and created tools by now ok i am not going to say anymore about the plot because it's getting up my nose so i will close on this jurassic park is a classic is a lousy sucker punch to any of the original fans of the series my favorite franchise was well and truly dead after watching this monstrosity no pun intended avoid this movie like the plague,negative
pictures classics i'm looking at you got the rights to harry records you need to the film and you'll get sales of his back anyhow this is a great study of a fascinating musician woefully full of great stories greater music and it could have been 3 hours longer and i'd have loved it even more saw it at the american festival at the theatre in santa monica where it played to a packed house they were turning people away at the door i went to many of the festival films and let me assure you that no other film came even close to selling out let alone turning people away see it in the theatre buy the dvd and make sure some slow on the company picks it up,positive
when george was told he could direct an american version of the book the movie outside holland this movie has the name the too he was told that this would only go through if the ending was changed he was told that 'the american wouldn't the original ending of course the original ending is much better and without it the movie loses its impact because i have already put this in the trivia section i won't give the original ending and keep my comment spoiler free if you want to know the original ending watch or read the book this movie is absolute rubbish and the first sutherland movie i don't like watch the original dutch movie which is one of the best thrillers in the world,negative
unlike terms of and steel i left the movie theater feeling very disappointed i started to get into the characters and their complex mother daughter and father daughter relationships at the beginning i even cried but i had no sympathy for the characters with the ending the final act did not seem in line with the mother's character at all so although the acting was pretty good i thought the movie on a whole was disappointing,negative
yes this film has many gay characters it also has straight characters characters who are not sure about their sexuality people who are searching for some truth about their existence br br this is not a film about sexual it's about loneliness and the difficulty human beings often experience in connecting to one another cleverly the various of the relationships and the constantly shifting relationships the serial killer element is a bit less successful it feels more like a way to wrap up various plot points and unlike the rest of the film is heavy handed br br thomas gibson centers and grounds the film it's a quiet performance but behind the handsome arrogant exterior he slowly reveals a terrified soul afraid of showing or accepting love from those around him the supporting cast is strong especially as friend a dom for hire with powers her role is more metaphor than a literal strangely innocent and at the same time she represents the light and dark of the characters' sexual consciousness br br the film's involving and often surprises in its character development the effect is somewhat like robert altman directing a david mamet script the dialogue doesn't shrink from some observations aside from a few contrived moments in the beginning often in our search for love and a conventional relationship we ignore the love that already exists around us in our friends family those who are able to see us as we are and the writer brad make some observations on the different ways human beings try to escape and deny their loneliness and how that denial returns to haunt us in so many unexpected ways br br this film is a rewarding experience it may not be for who can't get past the sexual of some of the characters to see the greater message of hope and redemption loneliness is a universal experience a film like this that to explore the darker side of our lives with a clever and eye deserves applause and an open minded approach,positive
i only wish there was a grade lower than f to give it i scored it a 1 in the vote i am this not even as a regular film but as a t a film and this is the worst and most awful movie i've seen the acting story and music are all terrible not to mention there isn't even any nudity for the t a it's about a male and the viewer is made to sit through many painful scenes of him doing cheers avoid this piece of trash at all cost this is the worst of bad 80's teen cinema,negative
big spoiler right here this film is b a d but enjoy it's good bad br br is the kind of film you can't believe exists with dialog plotting and direction so handled that uncle home video looks like an experience since it's a troma flick there's plenty of gross out gore on tap but its even than usual br br most of the production money seems to have gone into buying and for cast and crew the brilliant dialog is best summed up in the immortal what was that which is second only to the screamed now what br br any knowledge of how people act in a desperate situation is alien to ronald armstrong the writer director when one of the friends is found being eaten alive by a thing armstrong has the survivors immediately making time with cute but dumb as a divine while she's being hit on divine is cooking up a big steaming pot of a rat poison mixture on the stirring smiling stirring smiling never falling over dead from the br br the killer bugs are as frightening as which they too closely resemble the effects used to move them include dragging them across floors real fast with their legs dragging behind br br the highlight for the film would probably have been the house blowing up but they were either out of cash or never had any so instead of seeing even a go up in flames they simply let the screen go black eat you heart out br br the cast is virtually all black how can the consistently something truly funny like and andy which depicts characters certainly no less than those on 99 of all white comedy shows but says a about something like oh well it's best they don't know about how this film is to all involved as it would be if it were played by any single ethnic group frankly before they put the on get some friends together and get ready for the plan 9 of bug movies,negative
i was very curious about aka and if i was going to see it i was going to have to buy it since no video stores in my area carried the film since it was not a low dvd i did take a chance and thought i'd take a at other comments on imdb many of the comments didn't give me enough hope of out lots of bucks for a film i had never seen nor had any clues about i basically got the idea it was a sexy youth oriented romp being compared to many cookie cutter teen thrillers well something in the back of my mind told me to ignore those types of comments and buy it i did and was i pleasantly surprised br br if it is going to be compared to any other films i would say it's a variation of coma and extreme i couldn't see any comparison to films like scream urban legends et al yes the cast is young that's because they're students at least they aren't the increasingly boring high school type characters and yes some are basically the character played by anna is and it is handled quite in the german language version but is well constructed there is a tense mood throughout the sets are amazing the makeup effects are a wow and is very credible in her role i found myself enjoying all of it despite a few holes in the plot the story of a student discovering a sort of secret society doing on still living patients is a rather creepy scenario and what happens to those patients afterwards is quite clever sure you could ask why didn't she just get out of that town okay but then the film would be over within a half hour br br this was the first effort from the german part of columbia pictures and it's actually quite an impressive one there was a bit of care in the production and to actually offer some genuine thrills is an accomplishment it is a bit mature in mind as it doesn't resort to constant opportunities for sexual encounters a breast fest or juvenile drug jokes anna character while often making sexual remarks and looking for some fun was actually a nice touch having a character that was a woman more intelligent than any of the men in the school she found that sex was really just a distraction for her and the men rather lacking br br the important stuff watching this film in the original german language with english or french subtitles is the best way to enjoy it i saw the theatrical trailers dubbed in english and was disgusted by the change it made in the film's tone i have never seen a properly dubbed film in my life they never can find voices that suit the film's actors or characters sure enough i tried to watch some of dubbed in english and the intelligence level of it dropped severely making it seem more like a comedy a good example is when one guy was freaked out at being cut open and screamed to be back up hearing it in german he sounded frantic but dubbed in english he sounded like a comedian frankly i'm sick of hearing people say they can't handle reading subtitles or watch a film comes off as silly with dubbed voices that seem too high for any of the people you see in the film and anna sexual comments then just sound like awful remarks right out of fast times at high i wonder if the negative comments about are from people who watched it dubbed it just doesn't seem like the same film at all this is not a cheap horror film and deserves to be viewed as it was created interesting to note that some of the english subtitles are different in scenes in the feature and the making of br br as it turns out i and won with it's a competent thriller with likeable characters and doesn't try to go for cheap thrills,positive
i hate to say it but i really do think this one's overrated and i love films it's got more plot behind it than usual but unfortunately though it has some great stuff i find it to be a bit slow all in all i say it's entertaining but not great,positive
okay first i should say that i assume this was just made by a group of friends with a limited budget with that in mind it really shouldn't be compared to blockbuster features and my rating would be higher but still br br after giving it a chance it still some basic film making rules to such an extent that both the viewer and the amateur director in me a lot br br think blair witch in a car but really boring br br think you left your camcorder on the and recorded yourself getting lost in the park at night for an hour then making your friends watch it br br the scariest part possible spoiler alert if spoiling here is possible was at one point the picture and you might think you will have to watch it all over again scary br br silliness aside this is a pretty good idea for a low budget lets go make a movie tonight film but the concept walks a fine line between being really good and really bad and let's just say it wasn't really good there were just too many parts where nothing happened at first i thought that was the director's plan you were supposed to be into a sense of security and then really scary things would start happening but no br br i kept trying to find good things to say about it and i had plenty of time to think and i'll say the music was kinda cool and i have to give the female lead credit for standing around by herself looking scared for a really really long time but that's it the actors playing infected people looked as if they were making fun of zombie movies or they got their motivation from the bug wearing his edgar suit from chances are if for some strange reason you're going to watch this movie it's on dvd or so you can fast forward it whenever waiting for something to happen gets too difficult br br i hate to be so critical of something but at the same time i've watched a lot of similar movies and nothing has ever been this painful if they just chopped a half an hour out of it and added some scary stuff it might be decent maybe that'll be the director's cut,negative
director lead actor in this look at me film he attempts to gain acceptance for the otherwise very upbeat world of mormon some of the acting is fair but some roles are unrealistic i e the ominous rather than mission president etc the film does give a fair look at how some may struggle with their faith but the actual program he claims to represent is far from his concept of it in terms of being upbeat cohesive and inspired the only inspiration i see in this film is self inspiration the film is slow and boring and the shooting and screenplay look like a college student project,negative
get out of sight jackie brown and even pick up folks were finally getting leonard right making good movies out of his work so despite my about how bad this movie would be i couldn't resist renting it i thought how bad can it be what a mistake especially right on the heels of reading the book which was lame and too self too relative to the rest of books still the book was better than the movie leonard again the weak and screen writers who try to take over his book the dialogue written for steven tyler was painful to watch and the lyrics to the character linda first song my middle write with more depth sad sad sad why even give it a star because harvey keitel and uma thurman are still fun to see on screen and andre 3000 didn't make a complete fool of himself,negative
i swear if i did ever tried cocaine i'd be able to relate to this film perfectly its pace as well as the dialog out at that some viewers might need to stop and relax their heads br br there are great little elements that pop up through out the film like how rob character seems to always be a shoe or how some characters keep running around his path the story was put together extremely well and the direction seems flawless br br the movie of clumsy and this is one i think most could enjoy a few laugh out loud even if you are alone moments ensure that i'll certainly be watching this again,positive
contains spoilers br br but if you weren't dropped on the head as a child and then used as a football then you'll agree with me that this is one of the worst and yet hilarious series ever made round a woman who as a young girl was beaten by her father who also killed her mother she spends her time drawing but wait for it then she becomes her superhero drawings and goes on to fight crime therefore being drawn by pain so clever the story itself is actually ok but it's just how it's done jesse the writer and director has no idea how to write a script just listen to a monologue featuring the 8 year old version of the hero and it sounds like it was written by a 30 year old man while her dad who sports a great just walks around the house all day while looking angry just showing how bad the characterisation is especially the bit where he gets angry in the first episode and begins repeating the phrase no more while holding his wife's head before killing her using the work surface the following bang sound effect and just his terrible acting as all he can convey is angry just is brilliant including after where he goes to beat his daughter using his belt which is all done with him and looking angry in slow motion the episodes themselves could contain easily a good clean script ranging over 5 minutes but oh no jesse doesn't want this little jesse is out post as if he'd just eaten and then himself to death pointless camera all at weird angles overly repeated lines and even pointless sequences just muddled up every now and again to fill the overlong episodes in conclusion the idea isn't bad it's just how it's done also there is a great character of a fat guy on a who doesn't come up enough and is great i just wanna hug his cause they look so soft the character development is non existent as the main character just says the first philosophical sounding thing that comes to her head although they all one another but all in all mainly s t br br indiana jones 4 however is much better type into you tube as well the results may make you at the beauty of the world also you'll hear a lot of cheap sex jokes mostly gay ones,negative
an interesting pairing of stories this little flick manages to bring together seemingly different characters and story lines all in the backdrop of wwii and succeeds in them together without losing the audience i was impressed by the depth portrayed by the different characters and also by how much i really felt i understood them and their motivations even though the time spent on the development of each character was very limited the outstanding acting abilities of the individuals involved with this picture are easily noted a fun stylized movie with a slew of comic moments and a bunch more head shaking events br br 7 10,positive

i was forced to read this sappy love story between a german 24 year old and a 12 year old jew that has political correctness written all over it its kind of like the movie spirit in which a horse wants to be free but those evil americans wont let it because they need it well i have good news the americans are evil in the german soldier and his summer book why horses where given to us by god and if the americans needed a horse the can darn well use it in the same sense the german had been trying to kill americans but this book movie makes it seem ok the casting is absolutely awful the girl is hispanic the mother is white the dad it from mostly white descent and the little sister is shirley the acting is pretty bad too the serious parts become comedy bad movie bad book but both have different endings don't read or see either one,negative
i don't know if i should be amused or insulted by drivel like this put out by lifetime television for women should be lifetime television for shut in drama queens because i've yet to see a movie that wasn't a tear pot this film was no exception you know a film's going to be bad when the biggest is spelling completely a creation of bad plastic surgery and spoiled minus any real talent everyone else matched her in unbelievably bad acting and the storyline was beyond dumb as if anyone could believe any of it if i hadn't have been helpless on the down watching with the same fascination you view a gory car wreck i would have changed the channel,negative
this film is more than the story of it was a joint polish french production filmed at the time of the beginning of the end of the soviet system it probably helped the union activity it is more about in the 20th century than the french revolution began the end of the system this film itself is historical by it's very existence the rest is history br br aka leaders aka when one watches this film one must remember the which began in br br actually it could be useful for seeing the struggle within the only left,positive
i've just watched this with my three children boy boy and girl and this film was good old fashioned family action adventure although definitely aimed at the kid market i'd say 5 to 13 it was certainly watchable and as a parent it is a pleasure to find a movie that appeals to a broad range of ages whilst still being suitable for the whole family to watch particularly younger children br br the story revolves around ricky a bit of a nerd with a vivid imagination this can definitely be seen in his sequences who a kidnapping and major art while on on board a flight to washington for a school trip dad is an airplane mechanic so ricky not only knows the structure of the aircraft inside out but is also a top gun on his computer flight this comes in handy when the pilot and co pilot are out cold through a series of and there is no one left to fly the plane i don't want to give away any more of the plot,positive
george was like boris karloff in the fact no matter how poor the film he appeared in was he would always maintain a sense of dignity and turn in a fine performance the mad monster is no exception to that rule it is by all standards a poor if entertaining film the filmmakers obviously didn't know how to make the most of their low budget and the script seems as if it was turned out in one or two days still is fine and believable as the mad scientist br br the film itself is enjoyable on a camp level normal horror movie fans for the most part won't take a liking to films however these poverty row productions have a small but loyal cult following occasionally they would rise above their limitations with being the best example of this usually they looked like this for all its technically poor qualities the mad monster is an amusing enough way to kill a rainy afternoon the dvd from is recommended as it this with another production the black the original theatrical trailer and best of all an interview with glenn strange talking about his role in this movie 4 10,negative
having seen other bollywood flicks with salman khan in them i can say this is my favorite of the more recent ones the songs are all quite fun especially o which seems to have a nice mix of beatles indian music and dare i say this a bit of prince the love stories are a bit more believable than say mere the occasional focus on use of alcohol is at times as it doesn't really seem to make sense to me but it's played well by khan although his voice does become when he's portraying,positive
loved the shots of dallas phoenix etc just single buildings with the name in block letters on the roof and the and the well dressed passengers fast forward 75 years br br but what really got to me was the hammer and and what appeared to be a chinese the of the seat on the side of the remember when the mutual neil and jill encounter says that become a general in a chinese rebel army that based on the hammer and could only have been the people's revolutionary army of dung never mind the and the in bed would that and that reference have survived during the cold war br br additional observation 12 27 this film of the 30's with the soviet may must also reflect the influence on and charm of communism in hollywood and much of america during the depression adds to the historical value of this terrific film br br also i liked the american dream aspects of two guys from taking at least part of the world by storm red blooded literally and in case american boys br br others have commented more than i on the etc i loved it all br br this gem deserved more than the mere 1 5 stars and co rated it on tcm if only for recording parts of american history of the early 30s,positive

i just finished watching this movie and largely found it a waste of time with little or no redeeming factors i really don't understand where all the positive reviews came from the animation is clunky and the plot makes no sense at all from an objective standpoint and there is no sense of intrigue or suspense in that which is trying to pass itself off as an intriguing and suspenseful film i have never read the book so i can't say if the movie was faithful but as with most movie adaptations it tries too hard to as much information into the amount of time possible the result is a disjointed and illogical storyline that doesn't really let you understand or relate to the characters or actually anything at all overall i felt completely detached from the characters and the plot to the point where i couldn't bring myself to care about what happened to them and the only way i can see how this animation could be considered beautiful is if your normal standard of animation is a scooby doo cartoon,negative
pat book the water is wide proves to be something of a southern up the down yet despite the teacher going against the odds formula really does move the audience with each little breakthrough and creative flash these students black kids on an island off south are actually shown learning and their collective wide eyed innocence is remarkably sweet the one actual actress in the bunch tina andrews an amazing performer plays the tough nut has to crack and once she falls under his charms it all seems a but the story is not ready made for a happy ending and i wasn't prepared for the quiet simplicity of the finale it's beautifully done the script off course every now and then but director martin is very smart to always fall back on jon solid presence scenes such as the one where he drives around in his van his over a don't add up to much but the whole film is filled with episodes which spark emotion and the actual ending is their payoff 1 2 out of,positive
simply put paul and jennifer were remarkable the movie is less about the raw science of beliefs and holds the focus very strongly on his relationship with his family primarily his wife emma and daughter annie br br toby jones gives a wonderful turn as thomas the great of beliefs and the rest of the cast is up to the task of sharing screen time with and br br but it is those two who carry the movie their real chemistry is apparent from beginning to end but develops as with his demons the scene where relates the ending of the story of jenny the to his dying daughter annie is utterly gripping the world premiere audience at the was performance will be recognized as one of the year's best in short order equally magnificent is work playing the religious wife of a man who in words killed god br br the film moves slowly through the entire spectrum of grief every detail of and acting br br brilliant,positive
in out is a comedy with a simple premise it admirably succeeds in the mission of being funny and entertaining br br the comedy in this film from the ridiculous to the sublime physical comedy exists alongside dry humor with a nice veteran turn by bob kevin kline is predictably in excellent form in this film alongside tom not playing to his expected square leading man type mr plays his humor well and displays a nice sense of comedic timing the cast makes this film successful br br not all films with homosexual themes are made to advance some sort of sinister hidden hollywood liberal agenda in point of fact this film was simply made to entertain and if any part of this films makes the viewer think then it was a of the well acted work by a terrific cast of professionals frequently tongue in cheek i found myself laughing at the right moments a solid b,positive
wow pretty amazing that something this bad could actually be made i am giving this movie a 2 because it is so bad it has a certain car wreck kind of appeal its so bad its comical and that does have a certain entertainment value plus there is a bit of gratuitous nudity and that is always appreciated br br so where do i begin the acting is beyond awful its like you are watching a high school play being filmed russell must have done something really bad to have been forced to make this movie and her acting reflects how happy she is to be in the middle of this mess br br the rest of the cast is simply silly with the casting of dan as an fbi agent the on the top of this piece of crap his acting actually had me laughing at loud br br as for the screenplay and the directing c and mark l lester should simply be taken out back and shot,negative
well i don't know much about anything but i sure liked this film in short it was creative humorous simple and heartwarming in other words it was everything it set out to be br br the story is set around a girl's first love as the title suggests and i certainly should warn you expect nothing challenging or provocative in terms of the subject matter here i mean it is a children's cartoon it's really just a simple story but it's told well and it holds your attention well br br in the end it's short it's funny it's cute it's simple it's good,positive
i remember this film it was the first film i had watched at the cinema the picture was dark in places i was very nervous it was back in 75 my dad took me my brother sister to cinema in england i recall the and the lots of snow in the film also the appearance of adams actor dan i think one of the gets shot and dies if anyone knows where to find this on dvd etc please let me know the cinema now has been turned in a club which is a very big shame as the nearest cinema now is 20 miles away would love to hear from others who have seen this film or any other like it,positive
this film was okay but like most tv series it would of been better if it just made for television the best and most loved characters only had five minute roles whilst the three mediocre characters were all the way through the film br br unlike most british movies that are based on television series this film does kick off and it seems to be on to a winner but the pace suddenly stops when the three mediocre characters are in the real world waiting to capture the three comedians br br the film then doesn't go anywhere when in a room with the captured steve as steve and somehow writing himself in to the medieval times which made me think on how come he doesn't need a key to enter in to that world unlike the characters the medieval scene was okay but monty python did it a lot better and of course funnier with cameos from peter kay and simon pegg both didn't say anything funny kay had a line and pegg just sat up on wall looking bored br br what also me was that they seem to forget what happened in the previous episodes such as escaped to the in the television in series 2 but in the film he's escaped from prison and also is a vampire which wasn't mentioned at all in the movie which was also quite disturbing when he's left alone looking after the children br br there were lots of plot holes and unexplained situations such as how did and the dark one escape from the medieval times back in to like series 3 it started of good but as the film progressed it slowly went downhill and had a very weak predictable ending br br they would of been better off doing what monty python did and remade all their best and classic sketches from series 1 3 and the christmas special and turned that in to a film which would of re introduced the characters to a whole new audience who can't be asked to watch the series or to tight to buy the dvds br br best advice is save your money and wait till it's on television where it belongs,negative
this is like a school video project and a propaganda film that puts the whole class as well as the teacher to sleep br br utterly boring long silent yes silent strings of unrelated video clips br br instead of this movie watch the paint dry or the grass grow it will be more interesting unless you enjoy seeing being to everyone around them br br the director should be embarrassed of this lame waste of film br br it deserves a one for the movie quality a zero for the ridiculous propaganda message and a negative number for the script or lack thereof,negative
one would think that anyone upon a to the groundbreaking naked civil servant of 30 plus years ago would at the very least try to honor the original with some kind of inspired vision but no here we have a sort of biopic of one of the most stylish people of the late 20th century that itself boasts no style whatsoever true the filmmakers have assembled some outstanding actors and handed them a of drab to work with everything in the of this film is wrong starting with the script which is another one of those tv movie of great lives every other line is a famous quote by the subject and every other scene is an in your face introduction to the next pivotal character in the life we get as a who crisp as a entertainer denis as the editor of a gay who hires crisp as film reviewer becomes somewhat from him when he appears indifferent to the passions of 80's aids and then returns to the as a compassionate friend of the dying jonathan tucker in a fine performance as a shy insecure painter of gay themed who is by crisp and finally as performance artist and woman about penny who intrigued by persona offers him a spot in her traveling act is a and gifted performer but is given no chance by the script to the down to earth and crisp spent the last 20 years of his life in a one room flat in an old building in east village he said that he never because after a few years the dust doesn't get any worse or something like that but looking at the depiction of that flat in this film you'd never get the flavor of that he a local coffee shop on a busy and would be seen pretty much each day of the week tea and watching the world go by in this film we get a diner that looks like something on by the hudson river most of the streets of new york scenes have a unreal look with no sense of the period br br the soul of this film is the great john hurt in the title role after nearly 35 years he can still grasp the essence of this peculiar post and put it across to third his every line every gesture is exquisite in the later scenes he even his vocal projection to suit that of a person whose life is down toward death crisp wrote shortly before he left this realm that when one grows very very old one's skin takes on the character of a that cannot be removed and one for death one senses that feeling in performance so for him and him alone this film is worth a look,negative
now before i tell you the synopsis this is a non spoiler review bone eater hits its mark for being the worst movie of the year i don't know how these movies even get onto dvd if i saw this in theaters i would get extremely upset bone eater is about these people who dig up an ancient burial ground and find some bones it's the and the more bones he eats the more powerful he gets br br first of all i thought okay well the dvd artwork looks creepy and it sounds creepy when i rented it and looked at the dvd label it looked scary but then when i played it in i could agree on one thing the title is better than the movie itself tell me what's more stupid a bone eater that just attacks by throwing a bone ate you and you disappear don't worry that's not a spoiler you see that happen in the first 5 minutes or is it more stupid that has a horse you know what i think is the stupidest the whole movie br br the cgi is awful yeah i thought the idea of was creepy but once you see the actual thing you think this is some kind of action movie or just a cruel mean joke the film felt longer than titanic and this was half an hour once the film actually has its moments of suspense it just stops i admit the acting was not the best but actually decent and that the violence wasn't over the top but everything else is a stinker br br overall bone eater is a film you can skip if you like interesting movies with great creatures great cgi and suspense is a film to skip if you like bad movies no matter how cheesy they are then will satisfy,negative
i went to watch this film with my family who were expecting a neatly story like mrs and they returned home thoroughly disappointed so this is a warning to all story to stay away 15 park does not seek to answer questions or provide moral on how to treat the mentally challenged rather its intention is loud and clear it questions every human sane or not sense of reality in fact for me it even doubts about my taken for granted sense of sanity the security bondage satisfaction that i find in my present is it really what i am or does it really create an illusion that all of us desperately and sometimes on to just to the neglected which exists in all of us in some way or the other so why does so makes it a point to show off her strength of mind when she is really by the realization that she is becoming a monster aren't we all who think we are really monstrous and vulnerable about it deep down inside is it not better to be happy even insanely than to create the impression of while one's sincerely does that and society her as the ending did me at first but then you realise that bravery and sincere belief took her where she wanted to go she found what she was searching for not caring what society had to comment upon her search and it is the seemingly people the psychiatrist and who never reach anywhere my family thinks that i am too in trying to make sense of a film that is largely to the rest of the world anyone else willing to believe in my sense of reality,positive
the music is by and not by stupid incompetent philip glass and was written ten years before unfortunate birth the staging is simply extraordinary the narrative in japanese adds a threatening quality and intensity that the latin version does not have version the giant heads and hands are totally justified by the aspect of the tale the props and make up used for the plague are simply spot on it's best work the singers are very good especially is quite moving and clean and norman finds the right expression and her beauty is here and finds its right place larger than life simply a must,positive
spoilers sorry the first word that to mind whilst watching the film is it's the only movie i have seen from the four movies but i enjoyed it it wasn't too complicated as i hadn't seen the past two but i thought it was quite a good movie all the same br br starts with a man his son and daughter stopping off on the way to a vacation although it turns out that they end up at their own home which i have no idea what the hell went on the girl meets up with a boy played by leo and they go hang out in a nearby forest they meet this weird guy who tells them to be careful and stuff because of the he seems a bit psychotic and if i was in that situation i would not speak to him the steal a ride of the girl and boy's car and end up in their flat thing they hide out in the basement and end up killing this lazy jerk they then nearly kill this fat woman and the girl's dad they are chased higher and higher up the flat until they hide in the attic the eat stuff in the kitchen spoof of the kitchen scene and i can't remember not a good thing but i'm sure they have to go back for something someone anyway they end up getting out and saved the psychotic guy comes back and before he kills the last two he is told he can't because they are and so he sends them home br br the ending was disappointing and i was annoyed that only the lazy guy died as there were quite a few annoying characters i would personally have killed off it's a thrilling exciting movie worth a watch but if you're looking for a better version of this genre i recommend the movies sorry,negative
this is a example of how hollywood didn't doesn't trust and to its big name stars the character of christian is completely re written the anti faces from his own army unit is virtually eliminated michael's story is changed significantly and the end result is to the power and terrible beauty of the book i almost wish i hadn't even seen it because of the ability of movies sounds and images to so in your brain i would have much rather just been left with the impression of the book the book could have been written today it is that honest and brave the movie neither my advice skip the movie read the book,negative
no it's just a cheap 1940s serial using the good name if you are a fan of the comic book you will be greatly disappointed they have changed the character no shield no no fighting the nazis no wings on the side of his mask and most importantly captain america is now a district attorney and no longer a br br dick as captain america don't look too closely when he changes into his costume it is pretty obvious that he was not in the best physical shape when he made this serial can you say it is also very obvious that a stunt man is performing most of the action here almost every chapter has an obligatory fist fight that is shot and performed in exactly the same way the villain is rather bland and although he uses an the he doesn't wear a disguise of any kind the story is repetitive and very simple the effects are laughable and the action is average on the plus side we have sexy gray as the d a 's assistant and the good captain gets to ride on a cool looking motorcycle in one early chapter overall ok but nothing special,negative
if you find the depiction of violent murders and police brutality expressed in a plot less film with pacing entertaining then you're bound to enjoy this film was garbage for both the mind and spirit the notion that this is a thriller is comical that would imply some kind of tension and twists you kept waiting for the story to actually finish starting it never rises above a of weak minded violent criminals and individuals from all walks of life picture all of the violence of no country for old men without any kind of chase or sympathetic characters thrill killers run amok the acting is good mostly but the script is a pile don't bother and tell your friends to don't bother,negative
ron howard and his only had one job to do follow the of the book which was rich mysterious moving and highly cinematic in its approach br br what they did they changed everything and i mean everything what is left is something that has no right being called angels br br i really love the book and find it very hard to see it being treated this way br br i wonder what was the opinion of dan brown himself for this film br br i really have no patience to sit down and right the 1 000 000 changes they made it is pointless,negative
cave or the blade or whatever it's called is in one word vile i saw this on and i laughed not only at the great running commentary but at the inept film making that was demonstrated tire tracks and where did get a hang then they lift a few shots from another movie where dare as tom points out to show just how cheap this movie really is watch the scene where and have to battle invisible or even better look for the giant dressed up like a snake that must and what exactly do those scenes in the credits have to do with the movie,negative
i thought this to be a pretty good example of a better soft core film it has a reasonable plot about the of a caught up in a police scheme to a wealthy crook br br hardcore porn star chloe again shows her genuine acting ability she will occasionally appear in soft core such as body of love and lady stories nicole on the other hand leaves something to be desired in her role as the female cop,positive
i actually belong to the 101 specifically is trying to target so i can see that as much as it tries to be to people my age the premise is simply too ludicrous for an average person to relate to the show revolves around the school in existence and the lovely incredibly attractive gang of one sided characters who inhabit it as is the tradition amongst kids networks the cast is an array of skinny white kids with the token black guy of course br br the story lines all around and her gang of friends stumbling upon or creating some sort of minor dilemma such as not wanting to attend gym class resulting in a scheme to save the day for all her friends there is generally a b line revolving around either a one sided guest character or placing supporting characters in completely unrealistic situations such as having a of in a room and no one these plots often play off stereotypes such as any character who pulls good in must by completely lack social skills the majority of episodes have the continuous and will they won't they chase dynamic br br the characters unfortunately are all incredibly one sided there is the perfect girl with a solution to literally everything chase the constantly still but rather endearing best friend michael the token black guy kudos to christopher massey for managing some genuinely funny one liners lola the theater chick meaning she dies her hair and 75 of her dialogue is about her dreams of stardom despite the fact that she never does anything in the actual theater logan the dustin the little brother and quinn the science geek the few words i spent on each of these characters sum up each character entirely br br 101 does manage to be entertaining at times but the serious flaws in the system of values it are a major who is set up as the obvious role model and quasi feminist and who is on the surface portrayed as flawless still manages major character flaws for example when lola was first introduced she was believed to be a girl tried to use this as an excuse to kick her out of their shared room for being freaky br br as for the acting it is quite clear that jamie spears landed this role because of her name not because of talent although she has definitely improved as time goes by it is clear she is not a born actress which greatly affects the quality of the show as most of the plot lines around her character the supporting cast is surprisingly good especially considering the material they have to work with they deliver quite a few good one liners for comic relief if the plot hasn't yet into obscurity br br all in all 101 is a flawed view at high school life and anyone past their limited too years shouldn't expect much from it,negative
having discovered the ring trilogy i have been up all those other japanese and korean films that are either on or following the br br i don't have an easy definition of horror but this film certainly pushed some of my buttons even though i can't claim that the film makes a lot of sense i'm so there were several points in the film when i just didn't want to watch what was happening on screen the film me so i became of seeing things that i thought i was going to see br br it's an imaginative film offering a great deal visually it also provides food for thought and plenty of material to argue about when the film is over br br the characters are well defined to say the least could they make films like this in the west br br so it doesn't make sense in the end but when one has an for the occult the supernatural the bizarre the then no film is going to deliver a final all explaining pay off,positive
i agree with all the mentioned in the other reviews but there are some beats missing here that keep it firmly inside the genre of crime drama or film noir and limit it from being a great drama beyond the limits of the elements that make up film noir not to say that the great film aren't can't shouldn't be also great dramas but this one isn't br br one other note the music in the film is used but i would say is used to the action more frequently than the wife elements br br great set up to this film by the way with an abrupt sort of non ending ending that is either just right or a let down depends br br spoilers follow as to some br br the big turn in the story involves the children seeing their mother die or it should be the big moment but the children are never shown to react one way or the other neither cries neither asks their father what happened the kids are good actors and the reactions of the father are i suppose what matters but this is a big this is the heart of the story and the kids are kept mostly blank in their reaction they really just have none in the next scene they look as if nothing happened br br in like fashion there is a bond that forms between and characters says he knew the partner who was killed but this is never explained and has no impact dramatically on or anyone else the romantic subplot also credibility though it's convincingly acted character just lets involve a total stranger in their escape plan for no reason he doesn't even comment or seem to notice another gap br br the ending to the movie and i won't spoil it the ending happens off screen with a voice over to tell you what happened i guess this tries to make it feel more true to life but again like these other leaves drama off screen br br what's the point of not dealing with these issues i don't know other than maybe the goals of the film were limited to giving the audience what it wants from a crime melodrama suggest some deeper elements then move on to ignore them br br too bad there is much to recommend this film is very very good but too bad it could have been a great drama as well as a crime story as with imdb favorite movie of all time the godfather this film had potential would make for a good remake though if done in the u s more problems would probably sink the film but in the hands of the right director this would be a good remake though it's performance could be topped br br so worth seeing but frustrating as a whole,positive
i don't mind the odd artsy film but when they are with symbolism and murky dialogue and when it's obvious they were done for the ego rather than the viewer's benefit i get upset i'm not a stupid person yet i simply didn't understand what this film was trying to say or do film is a magnificent form of human communication why do some filmmakers use it instead for,negative
this has to one of the most pathetic predictable and badly acted films i have ever seen clint eastwood has never been worse never have i seen somebody less convincing on screen i was laughing at him the whole way through then there's this romance kinda thing between him and the gorgeous russo which was even more pathetic than the one between mr connery and ms zeta jones in br br one imdb user the question what's not to like about this film i'm asking what is to like about it and the answer is john he is an absolute genius and probably the best movie villain ever he even saved con air you know but that's it br br this movie is called in the line of fire but 2 the rip seems to be a more appropriate title watch only if you are a die hard john fan otherwise avoid at all cost 1 2 out of five,negative
this is an absolutely true and faithful adaptation of 'the it could be that the actual mystery here is not one best but what makes 'the special is the characterisation and i found the actors here more or less without exception were perfect in their parts in such a uniformly good cast it's difficult to stand out performances but i have to say that sarah miles is just perfect as lucy what is extraordinary is that she not only conveys and her more lovable qualities but she also manages to pull off the underlying truth that in fact lucy is not really all that nice is also very good as and claire price very affecting as john is really quite an unlikeable character but jonathan cake nevertheless manages to make us see what his women see in him br br as i said the script follows the story quite the only thing i found was that and relationship really comes out of nowhere and i do believe that some of it must have ended up on the cutting room floor theirs a secondary story however and the primary story is very well done the whole thing looks beautiful as well really capturing a perfect english br br its a beautiful film in every respect and well worth seeing,positive
is one of the lesser private shorts a warning of the importance of studying your field makes it point rather clumsily the story in which technical fairy first class makes into a in order to help him see the error of his ways is predictable and unfunny earlier short had been with ideas and laughs but here the director is with a rather boring topic and he struggles to make an entertaining short from it even at around three minutes long seems to drag and unlike the best cartoons in the series it feels like an film first and entertainment second though they were knocked out more quickly than the usual warner cartoons the shorts largely a surprisingly high standard is a reflection of the sort of quality you'd more reasonably expect from a less talent bunch of creative minds,negative
this movie really proves that the world is all too often an unfair place especially the world of motion pictures the assignment received barely any attention upon it's release and not surprisingly at the box office but when history will be written this movie will most surely receive some long lost praise br br thank god i'm surrounded by friends who knows what's good for me being a movie buff like myself a pal highly recommended the assignment a movie i hadn't even heard about i decided to check out what leonard gave it and not surprisingly he gave it 1 2 knowing that this is the same grade he gave classics like alien the usual suspects and the matrix i kid you not i knew his meaning didn't mean jack s so without i went out and bought it on dvd this was about 3 years ago and the movie is still one of my in my dvd collection despite a cover design that echoes a low budget stinker with casper van br br the assignment is expertly directed delivering some really intense moments that will hold you on the edge of your seat throughout the movie on top of that it boasts an at times brilliant story that you know will be with unexpected twists and turns it stars quinn in one of his best performances and serves him with great support by donald sutherland and ben kingsley who are both in great form br br something like 40 out of user comments like this movie most of them can't seem to praise it enough so what are you waiting for if you call yourself a fan of action thrillers you should have bought it rented it seen it yesterday,positive
is probably jackie chan's worst movie since the in 1985 yes i know that nobody watches his movies for their stories but the plotting of this one is unusually lame even by his standards and while the fight choreography is up to his standards the fight scenes the whole two of them are ruined as others have mentioned by the frenetic distracting even the most serious jackie chan fans shouldn't really bother with this stunt and plug filled garbage anita cute and performance is one of the few redeeming virtues for a good serious jackie movie i recommend crime story 1 2,negative
without doubt a great all round show that if shown today would attract a huge following was only 6 episodes and a trailer but deserved a few more series to really bring it up to speed with outstanding performances from the highly talented and versatile sean pertwee and the dynamic louise lombard it really did put it up with the likes of the the and thief the story lines are based on the protection services and with great filming and story lines and scene locations it stood out from some of the junk that gets by other tv production companies i do not think that it has been shown on tv either such as sky or witch is a shame as if it were to be shown nowadays i am sure it would get a large viewing audience so i hope one day the guys at tv decide to release it on dvd cheers nick,positive
nothing but the void a pleasant one for those who have known the eighties but well quite boring for those who are not interested in it no screenplay in this film but a hero wandering in an underground new york full of and night it is pointless and naive but not entirely unpleasant,negative
even as a big fan of the low to no budget horror genre i find this disaster mildly amusing with horrible acting a painfully generic plot and no dimensional characters no matter how bored and drunk you are this one is not worth your minutes don't make the same mistake i did rent something else anything else,negative
on the moon is almost certainly the strangest most convoluted and most giallo ever made it may come as a restraint to some of the sub fans but this film doesn't feature many of the regular giallo like bloody knife murders preferably committed by a masked killer wearing black ravishing scantily dressed and unpredictable red herrings however to compensate for all this – and much more – from the most mysterious and non stop compelling atmosphere i ever experienced in this type of film the level of mystery in this movie is so high and unbearable it literally makes you feel uncomfortable and scared like the female protagonist alice herself you absolutely have no idea of what's happening or why and this feeling of utter is the film's main as a viewer you to help this poor woman understand the things that overcome her but you simply can't alice has a successful career as an but her quiet and peaceful life gets brutally interrupted when she wakes up one morning and slowly begins to realize she has absolutely no of the previous three days she finds a torn apart photograph of a hotel located on the holiday island and decides to go there in order to investigate what happened on the island several people including a lonely little girl seem to recognize alice only she used the fake name nicole wore a red haired wig and acted like she came to the island to hide from an unknown danger meanwhile even the poor girl's nights are restless as she has dreams of on the moon surface and an uncanny scientist called dr the plot of is truly bizarre and slowly brooding and particularly the sub plot is really difficult to link with the rest alice assumes they are just images from a sci fi movie she saw long time ago which sounds like a reasonable enough explanation but you sense there's a deeper meaning and actual connection to all the other events fans of tension driven and stylish italian cinema can't afford themselves to miss this film really this is director's psychological tour de force with beautiful photography and mind music in spite of the lack of violence or maybe just because of it the film is genuinely disturbing and the mental agony alice goes through honestly affects the viewer emotionally as well as it is sadly too often the case in cinema the climax suddenly comes rather abrupt and nearly doesn't give a explanation of all the awkward events you just witnessed for the last hour and a half still the content of will keep you long after the film has finished and its powerful impact will only increase is sublime as the tormented leading lady and receives excellent from the limited supportive cast including the young the euro cult star kinski receives top billing as well but his role is merely an extended cameo this film is actually a lot better than director more acclaimed and much easier available giallo the fifth so here's to hoping will soon receive a fancy dvd release as well,positive
while miyazaki's movies have always been hit or miss with me with regards to story they are gorgeous to the eye with characters of simple animation against a backdrop of artistic images sticks to that formula with a lead character so adorable i want a doll of her and scenery so pretty it wouldn't look out of place framed up as a picture on a wall br br the story on the other hand i didn't enjoy quite as much as his last two wide releases spirited away and moving castle it was just a tad too juvenile coming across as more for kids and leaving adults to just enjoy the animation br br i was also disappointed that the score done by joe who also the scores for the above mentioned two movies wasn't nearly as memorable this time around while i can't quite recall score now i still remember it being one of the most beautiful i had ever heard though i only remember it being very to the movie maybe it's because is more juvenile fare that the score isn't quite as haunting in any case this movie is still a must watch for fans of anime or miyazaki,positive

this movie is almost never seen today the only reason i can enjoy it again and again is from a slightly worn out vhs copy i made when the film was shown on tv in 1991 here in england br br an ensemble cast are obviously enjoying themselves and this is reflected to the viewer a razor sharp script helps things along and once you've seen this you will want to watch it over and over again br br wayne rogers is the but everyone contributes to a great film with a great jazz soundtrack to boot there are emotional moments during the film but never to the point of sweet these are guys on the trip of a lifetime and they convey that excitement wonderfully br br highly recommended if you can actually get to see it,positive
i'm the later reviews have turned sour reading all the positive i was starting to worry that my understanding of movies and life was completely different than everyone else's in the world everything in this movie false to me the characters the dialogue the manipulative soundtrack the corny narration all of it as each scene i kept thinking people don't act like this it's relentlessly heavy handed and in a way i think the movie bullies you into liking it or pretending to like it because it's serious and about real people and confronts issues but man it really did not work for me,negative

this movie is complex and interesting in so many ways it is a non stop of emotion and taboo subjects sex and love women's emotional abuse of men men's physical abuse of women sexual child abuse fresh approach to religion in real life and all tied together with very raw and powerful blues music br br i promise you that if you sit through the first 20 minutes you will find the tie in and of all the characters and the ending will be more pleasant than you can expect music is outstanding the writing is powerful and acting from everyone was brilliant br br and the dvd has some great features including samuel jackson's background of learning to play guitar and feel the blues br br this movie is not for children and i even caution parents of teenagers,positive
that's pretty much all i can say about this flat and uninspired remake of the 1979 carol kane vehicle belle isn't much of an actress and she brings no energy and to the role of jill johnson the babysitter by an anonymous phone br br but if you're looking for some great home architecture and interior design ideas this movie provides more inspiration than anything you'll see on or jill spends nearly 90 minutes wandering through the house of the rich doctor and wife for whom she's providing her sitting services searching for the origins of strange sounds and things that keep going in the night as she around and peers down we get to see a beautiful master bathroom with his and hers sinks that look like roman a huge kitchen with incredible back lit glass and the piece de resistance a self contained and pond that feature a self system br br because the movie isn't compelling enough to draw us into fear we're distracted by the of the house which isn't something you should be doing when you're watching a thriller even as jill is pursued by the maniac we cringe because she's breaking and messing up the pond not because she's about to get murdered br br the movie along as predictably as most teen slasher movies and the ending is anything but original by the time it was over i just wanted to find out where the heck that house was and if it was real never mind jill and the kids she was br br 2 stars both for the house,negative
disappointing comedy drama with sentimental has michael j fox cast as a former child star who now runs a talent agency for nathan lane and are his this all sounds as if it can't miss however too much of the scenario is given over to christina as a whom fox believes will be the next big thing they lock quickly lock heads and the dialogue takes them back and forth to an uninteresting formula finish fox and lane are both appealing but the energy of the early scenes gives way to produced but ultimately stale 1 2 from,negative

some years back this film had been for broadcast on tcm uk as part of a – but what they actually showed was the remake my brother had watched it and in it followed the original pretty much scene for scene even down to the set design – though no classic he said it was a far more satisfying viewing experience than the incredibly earlier br br this being the first collaboration between and bela lugosi i had high hopes for it – but these were when it became evident after the first reel of tedious conversation that the film's main concern was to the still novel sound technique and consequently the result is and extremely static the thriller plot isn't exactly exciting either even less is the british indian setting with the characters' affected accents and upper class demeanor – not to mention the over use of corny such as i say rather and now look here – rendering the whole more than anything else br br apart from this there are a few margaret as a fake medium with police inspector lugosi if anything his screen presence is already evident to give her some time to who the of the double murder really is the evidence points to her own daughter played by – she hears a and is into thinking that the spirit world has genuinely made contact with then lugosi enters the room and in his accent straight tells her i knocked twice – you didn't hear me at which my brother and i almost fell to the floor in of laughter the editing is really sloppy too during one high angle shot of the main set a mike is seen being rapidly pulled up out of camera range – and even worse are a couple of instances where a person walks off screen ostensibly into the next shot to another part of the each shot is held on the other actors for an long time so that it appears to take forever for this person to walk just a few br br the chair marks the third non horror that i've watched – even if both this and for sale 1939 deal with murder and and could therefore still be linked to the genre much has been said about the director's apparent with the coming of sound however flawed though they may be the 4 straight horror films he did throughout the 30s are infinitely better than the rest – which i've always found stylish and bizarre enough to suggest that wasn't as much at sea during this period as has been,negative
this movie was completely stale and uninspired the central premise of this movie was basically a bunch of stereotypical black people sitting around a painfully unfunny i did not laugh one time during the entire movie i could have sat in any in america and have heard this banal banter and maybe have even come out with a decent i cannot understand why this mess got any reviews much less why so many people have wasted money on this none of the characters here were funny or worth caring about i really didn't care whether the rival across the street would cause to go out of business don't waste your money on this one folks as that is the only way to get hollywood to stop out these pieces of rubbish 1 out of 5,negative
of follows the story of helen and the of the war this is more of a love story between helen and paris who is and falls in love with helen without knowing she is queen the film portrays the couple as and wanting nothing more than to be together other films and books have different portrayals of the characters but in this one they are simply hopelessly in love the film is pretty slow moving in some places but the battles and the detail to the scenery are done pretty well there are also some good performances i thought that the slave girl did a particularly good job and she was one of the most well liked characters br br overall this is a good adaption if you can look beyond the slow moving story in places and look beyond some of the cheesy romance and dialogue in my opinion a perfect film version has not yet been created but this one is entertaining and does have some good bits,negative
i absolutely loved this series and was very sad to see it go yes it's christian based and as well it deals with some tough issues as the other reviewer points out but i guess it depends on your viewpoint on these matters and as a teenager growing up and now as a mother myself i was so happy to see a tv series that was clean and well quite frankly wonderful i unlike the other reviewer was to see how they dealt with the deal instead of hearing the typical about they showed the son actually working at being and it to his later relationships which were pure and because of it and a lot because of it 100 br br after watching this entire series you become extremely attached to all the characters in the family and outside the family once they settle down more and the moral values they teach in each episode are just priceless i found touched by an angel made by the same producer to be cheesy here and there although overall i liked it but this series in my opinion was a lot better made and had better acting and was more interesting as well it was good for the entire family and was interesting for the entire family which was a huge plus the family wasn't outstanding they had their own faults but in the long run they did what was right and you saw them grow and change and struggle like any true family does it was my favorite show at the time and will always be near the top of my list i hope it comes out on dvd,positive
it is sad that some find this film worth watching i am russian and i am disgusted there is nothing in this film that deserves praise except cinematography however i am not one of those who find beauty in death or i think this film is poorly designed and directed there is nothing more irritating and even than shameless in art if you can call this garbage art wanted to shock the viewers by evil and he succeeded in creating a hopelessly dark film but the biggest shock is primitive directorial work i would never advise any of my friends to watch it huge disappointment,negative
this has been edited for space br br chan new film is a complex film that is not easy to a horror movie the central character is a vampire the film actually has elements of comedy melodrama cultural invasion and its of invasion of a body romance and few other things as well it's a film that has almost too much on its mind the film takes its own matters and mixes them with classic european literature in this case it's an odd mix that doesn't always but none the less has an incredible power here it is almost 24 hours since i saw the film at lincoln center with a post film discussion by the director and i find my cage is increasingly its not so much what happens is its more that its wide reaching story and its themes ring a lot of in retrospect br br the plot of the film has a will loved priest deciding that the best way to help mankind is to for a medical experiment to find a cure for a terrible disease infected with the disease he eventually and dies but because of a of blood its not explained he actually survives as a miracle worker the priest returns to the hospital where he had been to the sick unfortunately all is not well the priest finds that he needs blood to survive he also finds that he has all of the typical problems of a vampire and its no not possible for him to go out during the day things become even more complicated when he becomes with a childhood friend and his family the priest some of his animal passions becomes taken with the wife of his friend from there it all goes br br an ever changing film this is a story that through a variety of genres as it tells the very human story of a man who finds that his life has been altered by a chance event and finds that he is no longer who he thought he was it's a film that you have to stay with to the end because the film is forever into something else its also a film that has a great deal on its mind and the themes its playing with are constantly being explored in a variety of ways br br the film has enough going on that one could and people probably will write books discussing the film br br the two of the strongest parts of the film are its elements and its romance the vampire part of the tale is brilliant there is something about how it lays out the ground rules and the nature of the that makes such perfect sense that it kind of pushes the old vampire ideas aside sitting in the theater last night i found myself amazed at how impressed how well it worked i think the fact that it played more or less straight is what is so earth shaking here is a vampire who just wants to have a normal life it's with what happens later it makes clear that living an existence of hunting humans really isn't going to work its not the dark world of twilight or lost boys rather its something else i personally think that the film changes the playing field from a hip cool idea or dream into something more real and the sequence where the powers kick in is just way cool the romance is also wonderfully handled sure the sex scenes are steamy and well done but it's the other stuff the looks the talk the gestures outside of the sex that makes this special i love the looks the quiet stares as the forbidden couple look at each other for each other and unable to act the disappointment and of betrayal both real and suspected and the mad passion of possible this is one of the great screen romances of all time it perfectly captures the feeling and emotion of deep passionate love and lust if you've ever loved deeply i'm guessing you'll find some part of your hear on screen i know i did the statement i just wanted to spend eternity with you has a sad to it it's both a statement of what was the intention as well as the depth of emotion the tragic romance will break your heart br br i won't lie to you and say that the film is perfect and great its not as good as the pieces are and almost all of them are great especially the actors who i have failed to as amazing the whole doesn't always come together the various genres elements and tones occasionally against each other frequently i was wondering where the film was going i hung in there even though the film seemed to be wandering about br br i liked the film a great deal i loved the pieces more than the film as a whole its been around in my head since i saw it and i'm guessing that it will do so for several days more like or love is irrelevant since this is a film that really should be seen since it has so much going on that it will provide you with enough material to think and talk about for days afterward one of the and most filling films of the year,positive

and the is the first animated movie in over 12 years since the 1994 america it also has the honor of being the first colored animation which makes the largely entertaining story a lot more breathtaking to behold br br every scene of this movie is vividly rendered in bright cheerful closely to the color schemes of the comic books it was based on the character designs also stick relatively close to the comic for better or for worse the simple but unique look of the characters being simple in terms of character design this allows for more time and effort to be spent on the actual animation which by the way surpasses many other big screen theatrical animated movies character movements are very fluid and possess a quality that looks way beyond what a modest budget would usually produce there is always something moving in every scene and no evidence of the usual cost cutting animation short cuts 3d computer images are with the animated art if anything the style of makes the 3d elements look more like traditional comic book paintings than cgi models br br the storyline takes much of its elements from the and the comic and this is where its main flaw lies as an adaptation of said comic and the takes way too many liberties with its source material long time fans of the comic would no doubt find much to dislike about the movie's story and its lack of to the source br br on the other hand one can see this story as a really fun one if taken on its own without comparing it its source material highly comedic well written jokes pepper the upbeat script the funniest parts were the numerous pop culture references and at modern day 21 century life mobile the shopping channel commercial and even sports cars are to great effect excellent chemistry and acting by the cast i watched this in english by the way though a couple of voices like i found really irritating but i guess it is all part of his character br br if there is anything to criticize about the story it is the lack of this story seems to be more like story of teenage romance and coming of age with and merely playing supporting roles this gives a pretty big sense of since much of the story's elements are the usual of such teen movies derivative and clichéd at times only the witty comedy and traditional elements the the pirates etc manage to save this film from falling into plain mediocrity br br while not the best installment in the animated movie library it is certainly one of the funniest the best scripted and the most beautifully animated dvd seems a little hard to come by,positive
my take steven seagal is obviously too boring to be a lead in an action thriller even a totally dull one br br remember steven seagal you don't don't worry there's not much to catch up on after starring in admittedly enjoyable crowd pleasing films like under siege and executive decision seagal hits the low grounds of the bad movie now he stars in low budgeted b level action vehicles some of which are made for tv movie of the week entries that lost their way to the big screen half past dead is among these shall we say dead action movies a loud and lousy action film directed and written and worse badly acted this is one of those bad movies that i don't need to watch until the ending to know it's bad i didn't have the guts to have all my die while wasting my time with this it it this kind of bad films in which you realize those other films you hate are not bad after all br br the plot and the locale is completely lifted from a similar picture michael the rock although similar may not be the word to describe it both movies are summer movies and not meant to be taken so seriously but in comparison even the rock which isn't much in the writing department as much as the lights and sounds has better characters a more compelling plot better action sequences and overall a more entertaining atmosphere although there are action scenes in half past dead none of them are exciting all of which are sometimes tedious and predictable br br although predictability seemed to be a welcome asset in summer action films predictability has never more sour in ones that aren't fun and half past dead is never really fun a lot of times it's just a pain in the head hearing the bad rap music repeat over and over again throughout this film makes me for an every second i hear them the acting is mediocre the plot is derivative with no compelling or appealing characters whatsoever character an undercover agent sent to to stop a criminal mastermind morris a very boring villain is nothing to get excited about character is also provided with a sidekick played by rap star rule and a bunch of inmates and there's no chemistry going on here br br if starring in a series of other forgotten action vehicles what were those films again killed of career for good half past dead is and audiences be warned you're invited to feel the pain advice avoid it at all costs br br rating 0 out of 5,negative
a bit too much for me the cast was beautiful lovely to watch in all of the romantic scenes the locale was beautiful with and water it just was not convincing to me that such an bent on nothing but his building could attract so many beautiful vulnerable women only in the i guess certainly in no world i am familiar with the macho men were really obnoxious and i found it difficult to believe that the female characters could have anything to to with them for so long the screenplay cinematography directing etc was set up to deliver a class b film the central effort being on showing scenes of beautiful exposed female breasts it was nice for a while but it could not sustain a very mediocre film,negative
a man is pulled off a london street and taken to some foreign country where he is tortured as a terror suspect dull banal film bored the hell out of me more an idea then a film i was half way into this minute film when i realized i had no idea who anyone on screen was it was as if they took every other similar film and pulled out all of the ideas and put them in one place with out the real notion of character certainly its well acted with passion but there is no emotional center there is just an of sorts which the filmmakers feel is enough its not and while the story presented id in theory important as a warning the film is too dull to convince anyone of it especially if one has seen the other better films of a similar rendition with reese for example,negative
i could not stand the woman who played the mother i wanted her to shut up she had a bizarre manner of speaking and the lines she was given to read didn't make it any better i had no idea why the men of the town were so taken with her to cause all these problems except that in a town populated by men she seemed to be the only woman over ten and under sixty even after a terrible tragedy her voice was devoid of human emotion she seemed to have no ability to grasp the events of her life she delivered her lines with the same emotion whether she was saying i love you i hate you the bank is my dress is on fire was this actually filmed in ireland the sun throughout the movie and the characters seemed surprised by a rain shower during the i lived in ireland during the summer of 2002 the summer in a century most everything was still if the in ireland could only during long dry stretches then the country would have hundreds of years ago it seems as if there wasn't a lot of money to make the movie the black and white flashbacks looked as if they were filmed with the security cameras one can get at club,negative
in 1932 bogart was a relative unknown an actor who was starring in one of his first films and because he was an unknown the movie they gave him was clearly a b movie a quick film with relatively low expectations after seeing it i could see why it would still take bogart many more years and another film studio before he became a household name while the film isn't terrible it certainly isn't good making it more of a curiosity than anything else when seen today br br bogart is a pilot who has dreams of building his own aircraft engine company however when a vacuous rich comes his way his dreams all seem to go on hold as one of the characters in the film said the combination of the two is like oil and water they just don't mix br br while bogart is throwing away his promising career his sister is going full speed on the road to having met a sleazy guy who convinces her to sleep with rich guys so they can shake them down for tons of cash has no idea his sister isn't the actress she claims to be and doesn't realize later that the rich woman he loves leaves him for the same guy whose mistress is sister all this leads up to a finale that is reasonably enjoyable however what follows is one of the dumbest scenes i have watched in a very long time by now the rich lady is not going to marry the guy sleeping with sister but because she's now poor and no good for bogart she's about to fly away and kill herself finds out chases the plane on foot jumps on the plane as it's taking off and up the to take control of the plane and save her this is so utterly silly and ridiculous i found myself laughing out loud up until then i might have scored it a 4 or 5 this sunk the movie to a 3 how one reviewer gave this an 8 is beyond me br br the bottom line is that this was a talking and silly film on top of that it's all wrong for bogart as the action hero at the end and the lover are horrible matches for his persona that was so wonderfully created in the early 40s and solid better suits the man one of america's great actors but clearly out of his element here br br by the way those who love pre code films and their very adult sensibilities may want to see this one practically everyone in the film believes in and practices pre marital sex and in the film things you never would have seen after the and more production code was adopted in 1934,negative
at the end it is clear that the murderers planted the murder weapon in mrs car and it was at the police lab br br but where did the gun under the hood used in the come from wouldn't the murderers have out the stuff under the hood they had a whole week or did cops the camera gun under the hood used in the how did they do that without breaking and entering the car perhaps this is why the murders seemed surprised at the end but how could columbo have their camera gun device and gotten it to their key columbo must have gotten the gun back from and had it re planted under the hood of the car and been very lucky that the rest of the device with camera was still there and br br this was a 10 10 show until this glaring plot error at the end,positive
the discussion has been held a thousand times is the of i think it is isn't it unfair to always point out this little bit of in an otherwise great piece of art i think it isn't does this play shakespeare's reputation as the world's greatest playwright i think it does does it play a role if he didn't do it on a particular racist purpose i think it doesn't michael knew all this and this is why he added to his movie a prologue about the pitiful situation of the jews in renaissance br br in vain for the play remains what it has always been and the new make up only gives a first but hope that someone has to set something right that remains a permanent outrage not because its degree of would be particularly shocking but because the play comes under the name of william shakespeare br br why spend so much time in portraying the hatred of a man why employ a great and serious actor like al pacino if in the end everything is getting ruined in this outrageous but hey i'm not responsible shakespeare wrote it court room scene and now i'd like to be very precise just like himself br br he's demanding his right according to the contract which the not very responsible christian antonio who always used to look down on him signed in full awareness of the consequences sure what demands is cruel and useless but that's not the point what we see or should see is a man who has been for all his life to the point where all what remains on him is his hatred i think it is certainly a bit inappropriate to lecture such a man on things like compassion br br but what the play the movie they are one and the same now does at this point is become a soap opera the cruel madman with his knife the horrified but rather short minded audience the poor victim tied to his chair true antonio accepts his fate but why can't he just say one word sorry i think we need not lose many words on the ridiculous verdict of the young from it's a truly popular verdict not much different from what would be seen 400 years later in the show trials of the nazis from one minute to the next this jew is robbed of everything he owned sentenced to being christian and kicked out br br isn't that outrageous obviously not the story moves on to the romantic of the rings and its happy end br br what one can learn in jewish museum in berlin and similar places all over the world is that often goes by the mass because what's so devastating for a minority or some individuals is in the alleged greater good for the majority it should be exactly the task of everyone of us to develop a sensitivity to and such br br i don't accept the excuse that this film was made to create empathy with the badly treated it just doesn't work out i don't think that anybody can be forced to be br br i don't recommend this movie in particular not for an oscar,negative
i rented this type of soft core before but i can honestly say i wasn't expecting this to be in the same type as rod steele you only live until you die which was both sexy and funny it had a good script a sincere leading man and a sense of purpose it also has hall who is hot the reason why i didn't expect this movie was because the box was missing the must be 18 to rent i was looking for more cheese and less br br first of all i think movies shouldn't be allowed to start with actors for a part at a talent agency or wherever actors in this movies seeing the actors highlights the lack of that went into acting out the real characters in the movie br br okay having found out that this was a soft core movie i didn't necessarily turn it off and demand my money back but the way the extended video erotic scenes are added to what was probably a late night pay cable release are very annoying and easy to fast forward through without the quality of say rod steele you know they must've had some money because i think some of it is filmed overseas br br i will have to say the main actor trying not to the on himself is one of the most acting jobs i've ever seen and i've seen from it may actually have been worth the dollar rental that and hall still there are better corny movies to rent with your friends,negative
this is a piece of celluloid crap you can tell when you are watching a wanna be mafia film and this is it this made no sense at all didnt start at the beginning of his life were all over the place and the term godfather didnt even exist until wrote the book then the real mafia borrowed the phrase and made it their own after the movie this piece of would have one thinking that the phrase representing the mafia don was used back in the when these people were only called don outside of the original godfather movie if you want to see another decent mob flick check out the last don part 1 part 2 sucked,negative
i thought anywhere but here was a good movie it stars two wonderful actresses susan sarandon and portman which when i heard they were in a movie together i resist watching it overall it was a pretty enjoyable movie it had it's moments where i felt as if they tried to hard and there was also some really overdone and worn out material but there wasn't anything in the movie that i absolutely hated i even liked how they used the pop up performance of the uncredited and all the little happy sad moments are touching and effective if you want to watch this movie go ahead because even though i don't recommend it it's not something you should avoid and a 5 9 rating seems unfair in my opinion,positive
i agree with most of mr comments and i just want to ad a couple of this film the is criminally neglected in its current form for that matter so is the isn't a bonus feature it's tacked on as a chapter in even though it's made very clear that this is a separate movie it should have been treated as such by the and while i m at it needs some of that same respect and cleaning up as well i got the feeling the decision to put the on there went something like this br br dude a we just transferred to dvd but it comes up about 20 minutes short we need to put something on there that won't cost much money can you believe film critics want to be paid to talk about films dude b not to worry i have this little animation that's been sitting in my just go ahead and throw it on as an additional chapter dude a you're awesome dude b the of the is great and there's no need for me to repeat what mr done so well however this thing needs some major cleaning and especially the audio the plot comes through in the dialogue and in my copy there were so many pops and places where the sound just dropped right off i would have had no idea what the dog was going after without having read the box no amount of volume was going to make the words more understandable it just brought up the and made the and pops br br bottom line is films need to be put into a collection up up liner notes and the whole nine in other words they need to be 9 out of 10 for the movie not the product which would get only a 5,positive
oh boy oh boy on the cover of worn out vhs has a picture of sandra and her name written on top i think only reason they had chance to sell the movie in nineties was because of sandra name fans don't have to disappoint sandra is only thing to watch in this movie and her performance is the only you can call acting rest of the it's fun to watch in first fifteen minutes because it's bad but after that it's going worse much worse directing is awful acting is awful script is awful dialog is awful action is awful music is quite good actually typical score for eighties action movies this movie is so bad that it goes close to anything andy has ever produced it's so bad that there isn't proper word to describe this poor attempt to be a movie but still there was sandra and super cool sarcasm jake who tried to be marlon brando br br i think they can now bring the film out on dvd it could be cool and they should write on the cover academy award winner sandra in br br 1 out of 10,negative

on more than one level i can relate to what happens in this movie in a very personal way and all i can say about it is that it's true what mom tells eric at the end of the story he actually did her son by taking away his sad feelings and his loneliness br br this movie emphasis a philosophy i can very well agree with we are all going to die one day sooner or later in the end it is not the amount of time we live but the fun good times happiness we have during that time it is not the but the quality that counts br br i guess all other words used here would only keep you any longer from getting to see this movie if you haven't already i really would like to see it released on dvd definitely it would be added to my time right away,positive
some people are born with mourning souls with their song sung until they encounter another soul as tortured and or as beautiful as their own and an unusual magic happens you are alone is a brutally honest look into two tortured souls that for a moment of understanding and only to be torn apart by the differences in the between they're pain death is explored and literally it is what happens when ones soul is dead or similarly too alive too awake to reality it is the life not which you imagined behind the eyes of this film explores the pain in us all the beneath the the below the ugly thoughts and acts become honest and matter of fact and then a dash of unexpected innocence and beauty into the mix knowing both in us all the writer is a expert of the human condition and because of his non attitude presents life in a light we often shield our eyes from but to see and understand he as director focuses on the nuances of the actors spirit that shines through the character they're playing to the actors own personal with the emotions brought on by each situation this is the most accurately written and directed character portrayal of a man and woman's experience together i have encountered as of yet even though the two characters encounter is probably not the normal encounter br br the soundtrack in each songs lyrics what the characters would let their hearts out if able and strong enough it is each characters real voice sung through the beauty pain talent and emotional intelligence of indie artists ready to explode onto the alternative music market the perfect soundtrack for those of us with issues those of us who admit that we have issues and those of us that hide it br br i always enjoy exploring the darker sides of life with mr both creative and realistic view of life and the characters that within it,positive
gone with the wind is one of the most popular books ever it is by far the movie of all movies the romance between scarlett and made people dream all over the world and turned the lead actors into cinematographic icons one can ask is it really necessary to make a sequel and there are some big shoes to fill br br well there was the book first by alexandra is we have to admit well written and fully the world created by margaret mitchell she picks up exactly where we left our heroine previously and gently leads us from into her own fantasy in the book scarlett defeated after death and leaving travels to to with her mother in law in hope of love her typical manipulative behavior evokes once again a lot of criticism from and drives them further apart until a certain boat trip that will change everything scarlett now carries a secret the series follows the book quite accurately until the arrival of scarlett in ireland from then of book and series slowly split ways the actual end but of course the both have scarlett and back together br br the production of the series was announced with a worldwide search for the next scarlett o'hara many countries made their own television shows featuring young actresses for the part eventually about twelve girls were chosen to participate in the final screen and interviews in georgia unfortunately the producer found no scarlett amongst these actresses sad for the girls major publicity for the show it was already sold to many television stations worldwide before shooting even had started robert the producer who bought the rights to told he discovered the right actress while watching tv gave her a call and two days later signed the deal kilmer who starred and the latest being the movie robert was watching that faithful evening is not leigh but she certainly is scarlett her performance is not a copy of she makes the character her own the major difference between and is the fact the lead character and grows as a person this is the series why something that has been done before considering there is a gap of almost years between the first and second storyline it is natural that both authors emphasize on different aspects of the characters whereas mitchell works around scarlett dealing with the consequences of the civil war and fighting for tara lets scarlett face her demons this to me is the most interesting aspect of the series we get to know scarlett in a different way as she learns that not everything can always go the way she wants i totally agree with the choice of timothy dalton as butler he portrays him with charm and irony and is less of a cardboard figure than clark performance the rest of the cast was well chosen julie harris is endearing as mother john gielgud gives a very amusing performance as grandfather and sean bean is always at his best playing a dirty character his lord makes no exception poor choices however with stephen collins as ashley and ann adaption of belle was a waste of money costumes sets and locations are elaborate and convincing the newly built tara set looked exactly the same and it is a moving sequence in the series when the house appears for the first time br br is there a point in making a sequel well six hours of romance are to me one to watch,positive
when this show first came on the air i saw it once or twice and thought it was another fat guy skinny wife show that seemed to the networks at the time it was just okay upon initial viewings and i didn't watch it again however once it went into i caught several episodes simply because it was on twice a night and i'm telling you the more you watch this show the funnier it is once you see how all of the great supporting characters are connected this show makes you laugh out loud every new episode i watch is more creative than the one before people who only watch this a couple of times will not notice this the writing and story lines are much more sophisticated than they appear at first this is far from according to jim first of all kevin james is hysterical incredibly charming and a talented comedic actor as is the supporting cast has excellent timing and is one of the funnier characters on the show and of course jerry stiller is brilliant as arthur i was shocked to read comments that he was the worst part of the show he's a gigantic part of why this show is so great his delivery of these ridiculous schemes out the crazy dad character are beyond hilarious and the yelling the best episode is when they show him as a kid yelling that episode during which carrie takes him to a in hopes to get him to make doug less out guest star william hurt decides that arthur yells because he's never been the latter part of the episode where doug beats up his childhood self in a therapy session is beyond funny it's one of the most creative scenes i've seen on a sitcom i feel the strange need to defend this show because it is severely underrated while friends was sometimes amusing and raymond has some great episodes and characters they both lacked the creative touch that king of queens has in an era where most sitcoms have jokes and are on the whole mediocre king of queens continues to push the sitcom and show real comic genius critics of this show obviously don't get it or haven't watched the show enough to give it a chance because anyone with real comic and creative sensibility has to laugh out loud while watching it's certainly on par with my other two favorites seinfeld and the office in its ridiculous tone it's the and michael of tv that keep us watching and laughing out loud,positive
great music but ain't these people pathetic a true period piece of the sixties and it left me depressed the director paints the wrong side of the life and it as a nest if the culture of the time led people to do these things it appears to me that it was all a journey of no discovery only despair i tried really tried to like this film but these people aren't anywhere on my page yes it would be nice to see the world go away for awhile but i always plan to come back drugs aren't the cause of these characters' it's their lousy attitudes – these guys drink their cup of poison they their lives and in the end the journey that is life has romance ever been so dark br br cheers interesting scenery wonderful soundtrack by pink br br dated drugs depressing thoroughly unlikable characters they aren't flower children br br only for the curious since most the pink connection rare tracks many will have never heard before as ain't what it was br br rating two stars,negative

the man with the golden arm was one of the first films to have as its main topic and in some respects the message the tragedy of heroin addiction it's nowhere near a great film but its importance lies in otto dedication to making it feel real and on the edge of melodrama and what i liked is that it's not so much an expose of if you want the best expose of that read naked lunch if you can get through it anyway besides the point but the nature of the urban environment frankie machine lives he expects after he gets out of prison for dealing to go on the straight and narrow to become a drummer in a band and make it as a musician but he has his crippled wife who can't work and needs money and often complains and then there's the old neighborhood he can't escape seeing darren who is still doing back room card games and yes pushing like mean streets it's hard to escape the unless you leave br br but then again it's hard for frankie machine not to try and operate naturally in this urban quarter it's just that he can't escape the temptation of junk when he's on a phony charge with his friend he sees a freaking out and it puts back the fear of going back on into his clean self and frankie is sinatra and i can't see anyone else who could've played him even original choice brando he fits into the neighborhood and seems like the kind of guy who should be a step ahead of the game but there's also a vulnerability to sinatra that he pulls out wonderfully and by the time we see him going in apartment it's believable even if it's not the kind of thing those from generation would think of heroin i e and certainly for a dream if for nothing else you want to watch the movie to see what happens to sinatra as this character br br the flaws however come in some of the other performances though it's a little parker seems to be overacting for a good portion of the movie frankie that she's really crippled when in reality she can walk and is him for one reason or another but then it becomes as it goes along she's supposed to be nuts and nuts with jealousy and on that level it starts to get better meanwhile kim novak is good though not vertigo worthy as the possible girl in the side but more like the voice of reason in the story then there's a detective who might be one of the most one note characters performances ever and also nerdy friend and the characters of and and they're all played as one might expect them to actually is better than ok as far as casting other talent around sinatra preminger doesn't do all that great and frankly some scenes kind of fall flat br br but there's a lot of fascination in the man with the golden arm and not just as some dated piece of interest it works as compelling drama and as a message piece conveyed without being preachy or campy it's a genuine article just not exceptional,positive
when precious aired in america i was stunned by this beautiful story all the actors were brilliant clive owen really understood the character he played i went right away to a and ordered the original novel which is even more beautiful and which went out of print just after i bought the book although i've seen it online a few times now i had also hoped with the oscar won by janet and the huge popularity of clive owen the bbc would naturally get this fine production on dvd i cannot believe all these years later we still have no dvd it has to be the only production ever created by the bbc that is not for sale come on bbc you have money to make off us fans here get this on dvd please,positive
when i saw the trailer for this film i said out loud to no one in particular this film is going to bomb i also said that about the matrix and look at what happened there now i am not a box office guru by any stretch but i usually have a pretty good gut about what is going to be good and what is going to really suck in this case i was by my complete and utter towards david let me put it to you a different way i don't like his as a person from what i have read of him in interviews he is unbelievably pre madonna like and he is full of himself considering all he has done is x files or as an actor playing god was a really poor film but he came off thinking that for some reason he deserved big bucks on the big screen but i am happy to say that even though those things may still be true about the man return to me is delightful and has it's heart in the right place bonnie hunt has directed a beautiful story and she has told it with class and grace this is one of the most romantic films i have seen and even though it may seem to be a bit sad and in its premise give it a chance and you will be hooked br br it has to be said and this pains me to do so that the reason this film works so well is because of the story and the cast and driver are so wonderful and believable here that i honestly wanted to cry along with them there is one particularly powerful scene when comes home after his wife has died and he down on the floor of his house as it always does the family dog looks to the door to wait for his wife to come walking in she doesn't and with his shirt collar still with blood rob tells him that she is not coming home ever he then calls the dog over to him and they seem to share a cry together the dog lets out a small and then rob cries and this is one of the most realistic moments of pain i have ever seen in any character in any movie you can feel his pain and at that moment i forgot i was watching an actor that i generally don't like and i felt that i was watching someone that i knew the loss of his beloved this is powerful stuff br br another strength of the film is the supporting cast bonnie hunt has combined an ethnic melting pot of irish and italian characters that share a common bond they share a pub called italian pub that is a delicious name all by itself and heading the scale of cultures is carol and robert these are two proud old men that love their but love their and niece i think it is respectively and that is the character played by driver this scenario is for comedy and hunt doesn't miss anything here br br bonnie hunt and james belushi also share some funny moments together as the middle aged married couple and belushi gets top points as he accepts and shows off his ample of a stomach for laughs with his family of three or four kids there is very little time for him and the wife to have quality time and again hunt handles this with perfect br br this is a wonderful story of finding true love knowing how lucky you are to have true love and the power of friendship and family return to me is a wonderful romance and even though i still don't have a great admiration for david i have to admit that he was perfect in this role and i could not picture anyone else playing his character he was sensitive and believable and the movie was good because of him not just because of him but he sure added to the br br if you are a sucker for a good romance and you want a good cry then this is the film for you br br 8 5 out of 10 i will see anything that bonnie hunt puts out with her in the director's chair,positive
i'm to being patient with films because i've generally found it usually pays off but a few works take tedium to new levels and enter the realm of last year at comes to mind well x ain't no last year at i can count on one hand the number of films i've walked out on over the years x achieved in that august group in my defense i believe i made a effort to stand my ground hoping things would turn around however i finally threw in the just shy of the 90 minute mark quite respectable under the circumstances x does not come anywhere near living up to the promise of earlier work after a 10 year that must have been bitter for him indeed is still spinning in his grave,negative
i love a good western movie but this was more like watching a play on stage or an act at the local street carnival show i could only stand minutes of it in hopes that it would improve but it only got worse and i had to end it each actor s stated the lines as if reading directly from the script or cue cards there was too much predictability to the lines and actions not as if a natural or conversation the wig on rachel was obvious the actresses playing native american sisters could have played non native parts and should have wardrobe for the native americans could have been better and a little more authentic looking if i decide to watch it with any friends in the future i will do so not with the expectations of watching a good western but with the expectations of watching an amateur comedy film production,negative
ha ha oh no what to say about this film yes green eggs and ham makes more sense than this movie where does one start a lot of the good stuff has already been said so i won't into the same territory i believe you already have the movie summary so i won't the movie br br first let's start the with good br br 1 if you like psychological thrillers that make you think as i do the first minutes of this film will be for you this is one of those films that illustrates the question that you always talked about on long car drives when you were kids like what if you had to chose one family member live another to die or what if you had to die by drowning or fire this movie is a great concept bottom line br br 2 the wardrobe group did a fine job with bringing us back to the 70's realistically though how difficult is that to accomplish okay that's about all for the good let's talk about the bad br br 1 this movie feels like a 2 hour twilight zone episode this could easily be 90 minutes that might have made the movie tolerable br br 2 do you remember in the movie from dawn the movie started out interesting then halfway through the movie it just took a turn yep same thing here i would venture to say that the writers started with a concept then had no idea what to do with it i've gotten deeper thought out of transformers 2 br br 3 yes we get the dilemma in the film we understand the philosophical undertones and approach but the story jumped around way too much didn't elaborate on the current story arc and took a forgive me completely insulting direction br br 4 the ending didn't make sense not at all none br br this movie would make a great term paper in college philosophy 101 if you're board out of your mind in bed sick or have ever enjoyed being hit in the face with a pie and can view this free on line by all means go for it br br if you need to pay anything to view this movie don't waste your time you're better off watching old stand up on you tube you will get more philosophical your,negative

while caricatures and or references to entertainment industry people or things or even of products is usually a in shorts like this one they aren't used in here most of the individual gags are rather generic as i'm going to give examples there will be spoilers below br br there are only three well technically four there's a quick one at the very end of the cartoon caricatures that i spotted which is kind of low for this type of short though one is a featured character with a fair amount of activity they are jack benny as jack bunny leopold and the ned sparks as a on a can chances are very good that if a was involved in a warner brothers short in the 1930s 1940s the caricature used would be ned sparks there are also references to billy and a riff on a radio show character called henry coming mother a play on superman here and the villain is a take off on king kong that's it for that kind of gag br br the products themselves are mostly generic and the gags are more plays on basic items in unusual situations such as coming off of of soup to attack the villain as tanks soup doing the can men who turn into using for and so on the gags are very good and it's an excellent example of a bob cartoon had hit his as a director by this point and while it isn't anywhere near his best work it's nothing to at either this short can be found on looney tunes golden collection 3 which is an excellent set that i highly recommend this short itself is also recommended,positive
yes barney is nonsense now but when i was a kid it made perfect sense br br i haven't gotten any smarter but i enjoyed it as a child i was because no one could say my name so i changed it ever since i was 4 i've gone by the name tina from barney because i could relate to her being from a different culture i'm 17 now and barney is a huge part of my life my name came from it i cant the show i grew up with no matter how stupid it seems now br br i don't care if i get i have nothing more to say they shouldn't make the minimum 10 lines because some people just don't have much to say ok done,positive
don't you ever miss the good old days when disney actually made great movies that really moved you growing up with disney i always found myself being captivated by the characters every single one seemed truly talented and knew how to act their way through a movie i remember friday nights and running to turn on the tv just to watch their movies q was one of my all time favorites i never forgot this movie even till this day when one mentions the song q i always remember the movie if anyone is thinking of watching this movie i promise you you will fall in love with it i don't think i will ever be able to forget it you will not regret watching it br br unfortunately it's sad to see disney movies such as the hannah montana movie come out what ever happened to disney,positive
style over substance but what a style it is the cell is the internal version of most serial killer movies unfortunately the story hardly supports the visuals br br catherine j lo goes into her dreams via artificial means to discover and help them over come their and a new patient whose fallen into a coma is brought to her attention by the fbi he's a serial killer who his female victims then poses their bodies in grotesque scenarios like must enter the killer's mind and through his sick fantasies in order to find and save his latest victim br br director has incredible visions and set pieces for this production each dream sequence is like a nightmare ish painting in motion from the landscapes to the costumes br br but the plot suffers from lack of history of its characters is the only person with a background and he's the last person you want to care about without him you basically have a movie that moves in the present tense only which is a shame since the movie is so visually stunning and genuinely scary lopez is wasted but she's not that amazing an actress anyway though she's as gorgeous as ever and vince vaughn i don't even know why he was chosen this is not his and he overacts to boot he tried too hard to become his character and it showed stick to comedy vince even so this movie is so visually frightening i still watch this movie with the lights on and can never fall asleep right away afterward,positive
i normally don't like romantic films but i love this film very much the story is really touching and the ending is very appropriate i feel i really care for many characters in this film i feel i can feel their feelings while most romantic films always make me feel detached and bored this one completely makes me feel involved starting from the scene of running along the beach with scott until the ending scene i want to rate this film 11 out of 10 because i want to give an extra one point for the ending the acting part is very strong kate has a good opportunity to show her talent though i'm not impressed with scott in dead man on campus ' this film completely changes my viewpoint towards him he's so charming here is as terrific as ever br br this film might not be as good complex deep or believable as other films which deal a little bit with the same kind of relationship such as de la or animal ' but the love can still be proud of itself as it casts a rare different light on that kind of relationship and that difference makes this film enjoyable by being and relying on great charms of small stars this time you really make my dream come true,positive
i'm a this movie is so wrong it hurts tried to watch with an open mind but if you're going to delve into a movie or anything for that matter of this nature at least do some regarding history locations church et stop playing to the dumb audience please there are those of us out there that actually put on our shoes and venture out to the theatre when something of this nature worthy of a theatrical release comes to town a little research all i'm asking but then again the book it's based on is somewhat of a joke in itself so basically they took a novel with many errors and decided to make it into a screenplay pour millions and millions and millions of dollars into it and make an incredibly promoted world distributed theatrical release and at no time have anyone take the time to do a little research on the lot of it i know several of my colleagues who would have done it for just the credit alone or at least given it to a body of students as an assignment for several weeks to research various or just pay someone a couple of bucks just to run through it because trust me there are plenty of starving historians out there who would have jumped on the opportunity if it had presented itself,negative
and that's saying something no matter how bad a movie gets i'm normally able to sit through it so i can judge the full movie through this one i made it about 20 minutes br br maybe it was the dvd or maybe it was my but i could not hear the dialogue even with the volume turned all the way up sound effects were fine so with the volume turned up to hear the dialogue i was blowing out my with the effects as much as i wanted to see this thing through i wasn't going to sacrifice my hearing for it br br from what little i could tell about the plot the movie was one big flashback by the main character's daughter it seems the mother a military pilot had to flee her ship because the one person on her ship she trusted turned out to be one of the enemy and now he is pursuing her across a desert planet br br the only thing i liked about the movie was the look of the main character there was something i liked about her br br oh well looks like this one is going into the,negative
what an utter disappointment forget this abysmal film and get hold of the tv series instead what on earth were they doing making the american president relatively sane all the politicians should have been bumbling peter cook is good as the british it lacks the biting satire of the original going instead for lowest common slapstick 1 out of 10 if i'm being generous this is unfortunately yet another example of a remake which totally misses the point of the original the difference with this one being that they were both written by the same people,negative

i'm amazed that of all the reviews i've looked at nobody seems to have noticed one of the main points of this film or at least how i saw it it seems like one big homosexual fantasy camp clothing a nude a definite sexual tension between ariel and and as a final climax a group of men in tight sailor suits dancing the this whole approach once you get used to it provides you with all sorts of fantastic scenes and images the sight of an innocent ariel being pulled towards a disgusting nude in order to perform her and is one of the darkest i've ever scene in a shakespeare film however by the end of the film i'd grown tired of the style and the final dance was just too much to take still overall its an interesting interpretation of the play,positive
this is a difficult movie to watch and would have been even more difficult had i known then that the actor playing the protagonist was in fact killed in his home by police at age 19 is a street kid in who is caught in a by a murder in which he had no involvement he is committed to a juvenile prison where he witnesses brutality and exploitation that ordinary citizens try very hard to believe doesn't exist when finally he escapes he and three survive by the only means they know which is crime what makes the film so heart is that both and the actor portraying him clearly do not wish to be the characters life circumstances have made them tries to trust and to love and to bond but there simply is no room in his world for the gentle side of human nature one is left at the end wanting desperately to do something for the of the world but what building more with higher walls surely is not the answer,positive
the child actor certainly deserves a lot of credit it was a pretty weak field for best picture that year i think apocalypse now should have taken it but the academy probably felt it was too violent and strange plus vietnam was still too recent meryl streep was tremendous as always playing a very unlikeable character i don't usually compliment directors but i really liked that bit with the elevator doors grade b,positive
why is it better because it's true to the dark vision of the comic because the imagery is inventive and unlike the first there are real moments of fear and pathos in this one the first one had too much of jack too much prince music and an awkward romance here instead of one villain there are three no robert and the leading lady is more than just a pretty face in fact pfeiffer is the 1 attraction of this film her transformation is what drives the running theme on the edge of sanity and insanity good and evil she becomes truly the costumes and makeup are excellent danny penguin is inspired and not just a nut his circus gang is the one element of comic relief besides that giant duck max shrek is the only character i'd have toned down walken is pretty hammy as the ruthless businessman danny score is a perfect fit as usual and the and the song face to face is easily the best of any of the songs from any of the films a perfect match of musical artist and film soundtrack the least campy of the films it is macabre doesn't and demands second and third viewings like an amusement park ride bravo tim burton and cast,positive
i won't lie i rented this film because it was an arty film with some possible explicit sex i got that scene and catherine briefly shown breasts but the rest of the film is just the usual long pretentious european art films with lines like did i have a mother or father i don't know usually delivered in long br br if you are curious about the transition of art to porn might be an interesting look with use of the fast forward button i was still too slow,negative
the russian space station with a crew of four russians and two americans is threatening to re enter the atmosphere in a matter of days russia asks for help in the stranded crew and the space atlantis the also have an interest in the a prototype power source being tested aboard and for one of their men to be placed on the mission br br that's the plot onto less important things the space station and the are the same blatantly obvious models used in and and a handful of other films i suspect the model effects are so obvious throughout the entire movie and make the film look very 1960s the sets are a little better but are far too '80s for what is supposedly a brand new station built by an american company which later comes in as part of a conspiracy to destroy and the and claim the insurance the script has a few good moments including farewell and the little at the end but is otherwise fairly bland and sub standard the acting is okay the only real standout performance comes from alex who offers up some of the film's better dialogue michael is surprisingly one of the best parts about this film ice t is ice t said the film offers a few surprises though that i don't wish to spoil br br certainly one of the better low grade contemporary set sci fi films of the last six years but not the best the film is watchable but the special effects and plot will probably put a lot of viewers off rent the other sci fi film instead,negative
dan and the dan band are so o o o o o good they must be seen to believe does anyone out there have a copy of the bravo concert for sale please if there is an upcoming release let us all know i checked the bravo site but there is no future date for a repeat performance by the most appealing guys ever choreographed the dan band what great energy they themselves about with cute american boy attitude based on butch sensitivity being wrapped up in and tears making men and women alike fall in love with them i hope enough people can influence the powers that be at bravo to bring the show back into our lives as a semi special,positive
this comment will probably have spoilers i checked the spoilers box just in case but it might not have spoilers but be aware anyways if i say something that you might consider a spoiler and i don't wow best game since super mario 64 i got this game the first day it came out and before i got it i went on some to look at its ratings yes they already reviewed it before it came out and i was shocked i was expecting something like sunshine because lately all the mario games have kind of been getting worse and worse but this one totally beat the other games the scores on this game even beat 3 it's simply amazing br br story not the best mario games are never known for their plots and this one isn't really much of a difference once again kidnaps but this time the kingdom on a festival celebrated once every century and gets a flying and it shoots on the ground and then they put anchors inside the ground and rip off the castle and its foundation into outer space br br graphics absolutely gorgeous the best graphics on so far the water effects are really nice too if you ever see the water it looks so real because the effects they put in it br br music simply amazing the music in this game is not all of it but even the ones that aren't still sound very nice br br very entertaining keeps you wanting to play more and more and for me since usually i tend to be very frustrated with games if i die a lot i mean i'm definitely not the only one but this game for me didn't have that a lot now it still kind of did but not to the point like mario 64 where i totally go crazy and end up turning off the game because it made me mad this one never did that br br difficulty there are two types of difficulty because you can just technically beat the game with just 60 stars which i think is kind of easy but to beat the game 100 you have to get like always and that quest is way harder but at the same time still very fun br br length good length definitely not too short it took me around 15 16 hours to beat it with just 60 stars but took me more like 45 50 hours now i didn't play it constantly that much i played first a lot one day then the next couple of days just a couple hours each day then the next two days i played it all day to me though i think the quest for 60 stars was a tiny bit short so if you want a long game i suggest getting all of them br br presentation now the cinematic scenes in this movie are superb the way they are it just looks so much like something i would see in the theaters they are hands down the best cinematic scenes on any mario game so far br br overall this game is definitely a great game and i advise you to not wait until christmas get it as soon as possible this game also is a good mixture of old and new you'll have some levels where you move just side to side or up and down because they'll change on gravity but even the music has some old classics in it so this game seems to be like a masterpiece to me it's my favorite mario game of all time but others may disagree but it's still a great game i recommend every who wants to have fun in a game to get this,positive
i saw this when i was twelve it was the movie that made me understand what a good mystery really was i had read the entire happy children's mystery series and they were about a family of child who always got their man but we the readers were not in a position to solve the mystery along with them this movie showed me that a good mystery is that which makes the viewer reader at the end say oh of course,positive
mel brooks is a great writer director and actor but once in a while even he can have a the beginning of this starts out almost basically just meeting one character after another you have cary who's charming and talented but he can't do comedy his expressions into the camera show that even he can't believe the in the script richard lewis looks bored and distracted throughout without much to do and amy is stuck in high school acting mode dave shows great comedy range and for the camera and mark is mostly in the role of the blind man but then he does still manage to show great comedy range eric allen kramer doesn't have much to do but the few scenes he does have are the best roles are those of roger tracy and brooks for when he does appear dom has a funny turn as a mafia don a clint eastwood but on the minus side some of the jokes aren't very funny while some of the really funny ones seem stolen from other movies,positive
jerry lewis was funny when he didn't write his own material and had a good director like frank when he started writing and directing his own films what little talent he possessed was overshadowed by his whenever his films would fail and deservedly so in the american market they made money in france lewis always blamed everyone and everything but himself for example he blamed the failure of this film on the fact that it was according to lewis released on a double bill with the porno feature deep throat if anyone should have complained about that situation it should have been the producers of deep throat this is an absolutely idiotic comedy about the world's man lewis who is rejected for military service during ww2 and decides to outfit a special squad to go to germany and capture hitler himself besides the many faults this film has the script is mind numbingly unfunny direction is nonexistent the film has the look of a cheap home movie lewis apparently thought that surrounding himself with no talent over the hill belt comics like jan murray and sidney miller was a good idea he must have figured that they would be so bad they would make him look good he was half right they are embarrassingly bad but he comes out even worse than they do for a comedy character is angry and the way he abuse on his makes you wonder why they would ever follow a bullying jerk like this on a dangerous mission like trying to capture hitler the fact that this movie took in any money at all is astounding it is by far the worst jerry lewis movie i have ever seen i've heard that slapstick is even more pathetic but i can't bring myself to see if that's true or not and is to be avoided at all possible costs,negative
the influences of other science fiction and thriller movies and stories are evident throughout this film the movies that come to mind immediately are alien aliens and starship troopers the story itself is fairly straightforward and not all that original traveling through space crash landing on planet with no apparent life and a deserted expedition except when the lights go out forcing different types of people to work together toward their mutual survival while the body count this kind of movie always tends to be fun as long as it's done well i believe that pitch black was done well the characters are interesting and you want to find out more about them the longer the movie goes on and i think people will be surprised by who does and doesn't make it br br plays the stereotypical convicted criminal who has a murderous past physically high tolerance for pain and conveniently can see in the dark you know he is going to end up doing the right thing at some point in the movie because it's hinted throughout the movie that he actually may have a conscience about things br br cole house plays the drug addicted bounty hunter who's probably in many ways a real bad guy compared to as his character reveals itself throughout the movie it is most likely that he is most courageous when the odds and are in his favor a very self serving character that in the end gets what he deserves br br mitchell plays the co pilot on the doomed who is out of deep sleep because the ship ran through a meteor or the tail end of a comment finding the pilot dead in his sleeping chamber she attempts to land the ship which leads to our discovery of that's character's potentially fatal flaw fear of responsibility and being a leader her character in the short span of the story probably grows the most in that she actually grows some conviction takes charge and doesn't sit around waiting to be up by night stalking aliens she in some strange way with the ever distant human side of who in turn in the end respects her for her choices and her sticking with them br br the story in some cases plays out as you would expect it but i think you'll be mildly surprised by which characters survive this harrowing experience this movie is an entertaining train wreck in progress to watch go watch it br br,positive
opening with some blatantly footage from for s o fails to live up to that classic cartoon instead we get an example of and series at its most generic unlike chuck road runner series which to introduce new jokes to the same setting series seemed happy enough to jokes as long as the characters were in a different place s o then basically amounts to this time let's put 'em on a boat it's not an entirely weak cartoon there are a few good jokes mostly involving glasses but they are by gags you can see coming a mile off the routine and it all builds to another of those endings where someone else other than says i i a a joke that worked well once but has returns s o will probably please children who enjoy virtually any cartoon but for big kids like me who are looking for more than the same tired gags it's definitely one to avoid,negative
this late 50s french study of youth in their early actually grown up but not yet settled down into the adult world probably missed the mark by a mile in terms of being an accurate depiction of 1958 french youth don't virtually all youth films made by adults do this the ones that don't edge comes to mind are rare indeed but director writer marcel of les du fame is too accurate an of humanity to not provide an insightful view of the essence of these characters in a sense the details are not important you could change the details and set this film today and it would work just as well but the loneliness and and superficial passion and self righteous anger of the characters is captured well the young pierre and jean paul are in supporting roles but leads jacques and play the roles with subtlety and depth there is also a fine jazz score which you can get on the cd jazz in paris jazz cinema 2 unlike some who have commented on the film i don't really see director writer as sitting in judgment on these characters he seems as though he is an objective to me of course these middle class characters may seem like people who are spoiled and have nothing to about to some working class viewers of the film and i think is certainly aware of this for this american viewer i watched a dubbed fairly literally i'd say version of this titled the the film provides an interesting window into the france of the 1950s it also is self poetic the scene on the saving the cat is but one example of this and has intellectual aspirations in that charming way that only french films can get away with i can imagine the heavy handed melodramatic shallow way this kind of material would have been handled by an american studio production and the suggestive way this kind of material would have been handled by american drive in exploitation filmmakers i feel that marcel has captured the essence of that period between say high school and when by one's early 30s people have largely settled into a routine whatever that routine may be those willing to watch the film with an open mind and not fire away at the many easy targets it offers should find a serious and valuable study of people in their early and even if you don't want to do that you can go in the other room while the film is playing and simply enjoy the fine soundtrack with great 50s jazz and pop including the wonderful original score by an american jazz at the group including coleman stan spelled in the credits roy and ray brown,positive

it is hard to screw up this story great book good film version from fred yet this film is awful first the casting was terrible richard gere should of played the himself as edward fox was a similar type of cypher and they didn't need to mess with the original script by adding so much worthless expensive fluff this film reminded me of so many bruce willis films as you see huge expense with nothing cinematic to show for it it is his conspiracy theory it takes some real doing to make a film this bad from such a fine original script every person from michael jones down should be banned from making films for 10 years such is the insult this film is to real filmmakers were hollywood to go on trial for having no idea what they were doing this film would be exhibit a shame on you all,negative

the last dinosaur was one of those out of nowhere movie of the week films in the 1970's that was pretty exciting for the time especially to fans of japanese films originally for a theatrical release around when the king kong was out in the previous december it was suddenly pulled and made into a friday night abc movie of the week bass who were no strangers to japanese co productions were the guns behind this production co produced with productions of japan the people who brought us in various forms starring mostly an american cast including the late richard joan van and the late steven it told the tale of a pocket of time in what was a somewhere at the frozen circle containing dinosaurs it plays a lot like the films the land unknown 1956 and the land that time forgot 1975 in feel and pace sure the dinosaurs were guys in suits a with front knees but they were filmed in such a way the music and score was so well done and the cast did a fine job that this didn't matter much to many of us brought up on godzilla the film has a lot of class to it from the opening score by nancy wilson the last dinosaur to the overall big feeling of the film the locations at hot springs in northern japan were excellent and lush and the feeling of to it there are some amazing set pieces the t bone yard and a tracking shot that takes us deep into the jungle to see the t rex eat a giant fish from a stream fx people did their job in style here and aside from a few dodgy shots they do their job well this film is considered the best 1970's film from japan even over the five godzilla films made during that decade bass did several other co productions with providing the creatures or the depths 1978 and the ape 1980 but neither up to the epic look of this film,positive

the real best picture of also deals with anti and is superior to the eventual winner at that year's academy awards in practically every department near perfect direction john script and j roy expert lighting are wonderfully by a superb ensemble cast although robert young playing an easy going and very likable cop and robert mitchum who actually does have the occasional throwaway witty remark are the stars of the film it's oscar robert ryan and gloria as well as paul kelly in the small but pivotal role of pathetic husband who give the film's most memorable characterizations ryan proved so convincing as a homicidal racist that he was eventually for a while in equally villainous roles in such films as act of violence 1948 caught 1948 the 1951 clash by night the naked 1953 and bad day at black rock 1955 the film is also notable for its structure in that flashback sequence a complete is shot in a straightforward manner while the actual truth emerges from the distorted of the real protagonist of the film who furthermore isn't even played by any of the film's stars also was originally to have treated homosexuality as per richard original source novel the brick but this taboo subject was to the office at the time a far cry from the situation we have today when at least 3 gay themed films are in the running for this major oscars br br the print for dvd transfer shows some signs of wear and tear at times but the audio commentary by noir experts james and silver is a good one even though i don't happen to share their opinion that career after his troubles as such excellent pictures as the sniper the caine 1954 broken lance 1954 the young lions 1958 1959 and 1965 prove having said that his at rko with producer adrian scott and screenwriter john paxton murder my sweet 1944 1945 hopefully this will be part of the next film noir box set from and do his best work in any case in my opinion the latter is not only one of the key films of the 1940s but also one of the finest ever made period,positive
un or nightmare concert as it's more know amongst english speaking audiences starts as horror film director lucio fulci played by the man himself lucio fulci goes to lunch after filming a very gory violent scene however he orders has a horrible vision relating to the grotesque visions hallucinations dreams continue begin to affect his mental state fulci decides to seek help contacts professor l thompson for psychiatric help claims that fulci cannot separate fantasy from reality agrees to help him however has a more sinister motive as a serial killer starts to brutally kill prostitutes fulci thinks he might be responsible br br this italian production was co written directed by lucio fulci who also stars in the film as a horror film director named lucio fulci which doesn't really feel like a lot of effort went into it anyway un is gory if nothing else for that alone i rather liked it the script by fulci john antonio is nothing more than a excuse to edit together lots of gory footage from other italian films it serves it's purpose well enough i suppose to see fulci on screen has a certain fascination if your a fan of his or are familiar with his films the ending is very rushed almost as if they ran out of money as it just has a policeman telling fulci they killed the killer that's it another thing about that ending when the two cops put the white sheet over the dead killer in the field then they walk away leaving it there without any other police presence i mean would the police in italy just leave a dead body in the middle of a field on it's own it moves along at a good pace if you like your gore then you have to see this although if you don't like gore then you'll hate it with a passion it all depends on your so the choice folks is yours br br director fulci was never the most artistically filmmaker it shows here as his footage is bland flat looks like it was shot for tv the footage from the other films 7 in total doesn't match the stuff fulci shot it is obvious that this has been together from different films if your looking for gore you've hit the people are with put through meat faces are there are a few there are some throats body is crushed under a car a tongue is ripped out someone has their throat crushed as a wheelchair runs over it there are loads of someone has their guts removed with a hook there's a rotten corpse complete with someone hand is cut off someone has their head in their eye falls out a gory death by piano wire as it through throat there are loads of severed limbs of blood around a scene of some cats eating brains there's more as well having said that some of the special effects are a bit fake look cheesy br br with a supposed budget of around 100 000 it shows this is pretty cheap looking it has no visual style or artistic merit but then again why would you want those when you can see a nazi orgy sequence wall to wall gore the acting in this is terrible including fulci br br un is a top film if your a gore like me however if your looking for something with a little bit more substance or indeed any substance then this ones not for you this is the sort of film which people straight down the middle you'll either love what it does or hate it,positive

early jackie chan film where there is no sign of the chan persona we know this is chan in a full on traditional revenge tale of the sort that was and re by countless producers and studios all through hong kong and china its a very serious story that shows none of the humor and warmth that would jackie chan to super stardom its also clear from watching this that had he not himself odds are we would never have known him because his career would have been painfully short as a film on its own merits this is a good looking but pretty movie i was watching it in the midst of an all day marathon of martial arts films and it would have together with every other film that i watched that day had i not noticed jackie in the film honestly i don't think the film is really worth bothering with there are too many other better variations except if you're interested in seeing where jackie chan started,negative

though i had sort of enjoyed the satanic of dracula 1974 i knew i shouldn't expect too much from its even more predecessor surely the least of the hammer marcus on the audio commentary for the flesh 1973 even goes so far as to call it the the film really due to its totally and now embarrassingly dated of the myth the modern day setting actually suited satanic rather better even if truth be told it's still vastly to dreck like dracula 2000 2000 or van 2004 br br despite christopher lee's bashing of the film he still cuts an undeniably striking figure as the undead vampire even if he appears very little and is inexplicably confined to one setting likewise peter cushing delivers his usual committed performance the only other noteworthy acting job in the film is that given by christopher son of director ronald as johnny even if that's only because of how unbelievably hammy it is unfortunately the two best known female members of the cast both of them horror stephanie and caroline can't rise above their physical attributes br br the camera work is by dick bush who had shot the blood on claw 1971 and for hammer when dinosaurs ruled the earth 1970 and twins of evil 1971 but is perhaps best known for his longtime association with ken russell which manages some nice atmosphere throughout especially during three crucial sequences the ride at the properly gothic beginning the hysterical black mass sequence followed by the of dracula and the final confrontation between lee and van,negative

this is the worst movie i have ever seen in my entire life period this movie goes beyond ridiculous it is like the director wants to get his ass by the actors for their roles as the fantastic four i believe the movie should have been released in comic book stores in order for the only how u should say it desperate who cant get enough cheesiness and want to see more and more crap movies in conclusion to my statements and i do believe this movie has had great to the of the with the exception of jay character in which i do believe it was his best performance considering roles such as the not quite human movies in which the story is told in a way that he has no character he cant act and people have made good decisions to not go see his movies this is why he is most likely not going to be any huge roles unless he sparks his career in a most rare but interesting way,negative
only if its the last thing do and your humour is should you ever attempt to watch this if you do watch it alone invite no one they will never return to watch another movie with you it might be an excellent tool for that very purpose invite people you want to get rid of in your life br br apparently i need to write more about his film in order to qualify as a review this is sweet irony for this film it really does sum it up perfectly after wasting my time it wastes more of your time it does have a function i take it all back br br i recommend this film watch it its provocative really go ahead watch it,negative

i have always been a huge fan of homicide life on the street so when i heard there was a reunion movie coming up i couldn't wait br br let me just say i was not disappointed at all it was one of the most powerful 2 hours of television i've ever seen it was great to see everyone back again but the biggest pleasure of all was to have andre back because the relationship between and was always the strongest part of an all together great show,positive
i could tell this would be a bad one from the trailer but the lure of the dvd box got me to rent it anyway boy was i right br br also for some reason the dvd version is very fuzzy and unclear at times in terms of video quality it appears as if they shot the whole movie with a 20 year old camcorder it looks so bad i really did not like the plot and after watching the movie i was very let down i will not tell any spoilers but let it be said that the end was so bad that i laughed it has been done so many times before br br the whole story seems like something that came out of a middle english paper if i had to one movie as the worst horror movie i've ever seen this one may just be it i can't believe they actually released this film it really isn't worth the rent or a penny of anyone's money unless you want a good laugh at the movie's expense,negative
this is one of those movies that i watch every time it's on not because i like it but because it's so bad i can't take my eyes off it like battlefield earth or 3000 miles to the first time i watched i kept waiting and waiting and waiting to laugh and didn't get my chance until about 3 4 of the way through the movie when they strip the cops to their and them in the park in a position beyond that the jokes aren't funny the characters aren't funny their and aren't funny add it up it's not a very funny movie not even at a slapstick level and what's with the soundtrack it's a movie about two white and the music is all seems out of place don't it if you like a good this is for you if you like a good comedy look elsewhere,negative
if not the best movie ever made feast is certainly among the most loving this is a wonderful exploration of the meaning of artistry loyalty and grace humor is mixed with tender longing characters are treated with searching honesty but also deep respect there are here on memory fate old age and marvellous camera work by cinematographer seldom have faces looked so in the candle light the meal is accompanied by delicious period music and simple folk enjoy this feast for the eyes and the spirit for as the general says mercy and truth have met together and and bliss shall kiss one another,positive
something does not work in this movie there are absolutely no between the actors in fact their very acting seems frozen sometimes amateur also the script is not convincing and not reliable,negative
kicked in the head is all about the character a twenty something man on a quest to find himself and his with a handful of quirky characters this thin and ambiguous story which was written by has a make it up as you go feel and a screenplay which like an uninspired low budget indie in spite of that and some annoying scene the film has an off beat quirky kind of charm which may appeal in some small way to people with a similar sense of humor not for everyone not for most but maybe fun for some d,negative
this flick was the introduction for a lot of us to the works of k gordon murray that's because it was easy to find it was on every public label in the vhs era and before that a late night t v cult classic double besides how do you resist the title br br for late a brief explanation of it's merit florida dealer k gordon murray mexican horror films dubbed them into english then made a with them at the drive in the mexican originals were weird enough to begin with american boundaries and accepted horror film conventions were great great set design and lighting were placed beside weird or laughable special effects nothing in hollywood was as close as these were to out and out strange now mix in catholic influenced social conventions mexican folk and we are not in kansas anymore br br add to that the english scripts they were dubbed into most were written by who wanted words to match movements of the actors lips on screen not the literal translation as a result the american tended to run from overwrought to down right there's even a fan web site for murray that the best most over the top lines for each movie first time viewers to the films complain about the pacing the purple the production values and are told it's supposed to be that way while the people laugh with enjoyment over things normally considered fatal film flaws it all must be very confusing if you don't have a taste for it br br this one was made back to back in 1957 with the two previous films in the series the aztec mummy and curse of the aztec mummy all three are now available on the 3 disc aztec mummy collection and it's about time it has the k gordon murray version on one side the original mexican production on the other side the contrast between the two is fascinating a lot of the times the original spanish is not much br br robot mummy starts off with a nice long flashback bringing you up to speed on the previous episodes sort of continuity was tossed out the window in number two and it's downhill from there logic wise you don't even get the angel back or any mention of him in this final episode names places even family trees switch between films after a while you start looking for the continuity changes br br by now the series villain doc is totally pig biting mad nearly with and still wants to steal the aztec is sent back to the past with another nice edit of the aztec mummy floor show and wanders out into the dark in her to help find that again the mummy isn't any happier with this then he was last time br br the robot actually has a production credit it was made by co s a ' i mention this because it looks like the grips came up with it between takes on a slow afternoon when the real costume went nope br br this was planned br br wait until you see the it runs from x box where were you when needed you the robot looks crushed to death at the end but actually came back in two more mexican made movies it had a fan base br br all in all a funny quirky finish to a three movie series sit back and enjoy,positive
this film is pretty good it actually is like a good wine it gets better the more you watch it the pace is pretty slow for such a high topic but the cinematography is beautiful and surreal there is a cool blue that rides the whole film there is also one great performance in gabriel performance of the character midget he is terrific why doesn't this guy work more if the film got better support he probably would have,positive
i would have to disagree strongly with the previous lame comment i watched this not expecting too much from it the fact is that the cast were superb especially the lead teen female the dark sides of them all came through all were messed up in an not obvious way there was an underlying current which ran through the movie of teenage angst and sexuality the serial killer role was played well also as you could feel he had gone through what they had as children what this movie is is a strong drama thriller yes i would agree they don't do the obvious but you could relate with the messed up teenage heads they did what they did and it is believable also a decent dark ending instead of which could have so easily been an out happy one the attention to detail in the movie was fantastic also i very good solid 7 out of 10 a little slow at times but lets a thinking person see where the characters are coming from,positive

this movie might be o k if not for all the language in it i think that the storyline itself isn't bad but i would be too embarrassed to let my wife or kids see the movie i know that kids will learn all the swear words along the way eventually that's true but parents should not assist them in the process by letting them see and hear the stuff in the of entertainment br br i used to quite like robert he has a distinctive gritty quality with that rough voice of his but in the last few years all i have seen him do are roles with a lot of language in them if we had an award for over use of the f word he would have to be a unfortunately i think he's now lost me as a fan when i see his name on movies in future i will be thinking twice about picking up that title br br look i'm no i use language sometimes too in extreme circumstances but when we're watching a movie it is for the sake of e n t e r t a i n m e n t something which we hope will bring us some joy and i do not want to be reminded of what's happening out on the streets in any big city these days and it's a to have to wonder whether or not a movie is alright for my family to watch br br i like matt too but it's a pity that he has associated himself with a picture which has let his image down like this he probably did an o k job in the movie but i turned off about 1 4 of the way through after having had my ears once too often by others in the cast why can't these actors just say no when these scripts ask them to carry on with this language once enough actors especially the big names kick up a fuss about it the writers will stop putting it in the movies br br i'm sorry but i cannot recommend this picture it's a pity too because i think it would probably have been alright if it had been made well enough for decent families to watch thank god i only wasted 2 00 on it,negative
the show is great no words to describe it wonderful music incredible dance the couldn't spoil it not because they were not that bad but because the show is really that good br br the are you can't see a scene without a cut for more than 15 it's ok to show various angles but those guys were working with multiple cameras for the first time in their lives and they will remind you of how many cameras they have every five seconds on average they manage to film the start of a jump with one camera then cut it in the middle and show the rest of it in another angle br br no matter how much they tried they couldn't spoil that wonderful show it's a must for dance and music lovers,positive

c h o m p s is very much like any number of cheesy late 70s disney family the cat from outer space or flying oddball for instance utterly devoid of anything creative beating the same cliches to death yet vaguely entertaining in a mindless sort of way the actors won't win any awards nor will the director writer or fx crew but in its and bland there is some vague entertainment to be had the idea of the robot dog as security system is so full of holes you could use it as a the incredibly disco soundtrack will stick in your head so beware,negative
my wife and i watched this abortion from its beginning i hated it immediately but my wife became hooked on it for a couple of years for me it just got worse and worse and the characters were all without question dreary and depressing without any redeeming features my wife then grew tired of it and we stopped watching altogether occasionally i catch a clip of it or pass through it when channel surfing there is always someone yelling at someone else or doing something dreadful there never seems to be any lighter moments or happiness of any kind that was always my main with it when we first watched it no humour the writers seem to have no idea about drama they seem to think conflict is drama and of course that is only one element of it light and is sorely needed and actors who can bring something to it i am sure the actors in are competent but they have nothing to work with it must be the most depressing acting job in i fail to understand why the british public watch it and love it what on earth does it say about our psyche i have heard it said that it is just like real life its nothing like my life or anyone's life i know otherwise we would be ourselves from high buildings or under public transport the themes it are far from family viewing but still are shown pre i love series like breaking bad or the wire but i would not expect to see them at 7 30 or 8 00 in the evening the programme is trash large and should be avoided at all cost,negative
it has taken several viewings for me to fully appreciate this film initially i was struck by the stylized sets but found the rest slow going and dull i thought that such a sensational subject needed the ken russell treatment to take it way over the top i now find the restraint placed on the production by widow to be an asset some of the more lurid aspects of life are and by themes from his novels i think it helps to be familiar with the novels that's what finally made the difference for me still feel the film overall could be a little and but it's genuinely unique and deserves serious attention love the fact that the japanese characters speak japanese not english the philip glass score is mesmerizing,positive
directed by e is an experiment with a few interesting ideas that don't quite succeed in what they were trying to do the film is a minute ultra slow effective irritating experience that tries to present an intriguing philosophy about the creation of the earth and human nature br br it opens with god presented as a chair bound man who tears open his stomach using a knife from the guts blood and human waste mother nature emerges she proceeds to herself with the dead god's later she gives birth to the son of the earth a who is constantly abused a group of people whom i believe to be the representation of mankind br br takes a twisted and disturbing look on the origin of life the self destructive nature violence lust and greed that have become a trademark for mankind the problem in the movie come from two points one is that the film is just too slow in it's what we get is a good thirty minutes spent on showing how the son of the earth is constantly shaking naked on the ground while at the same time being and tortured by mankind such tasteless gets boring pretty fast and lacks the punch in delivering a blow to the viewer's senses br br another point is visual appearance and sound the grainy black and white low frame cinematography the disturbing factor of the plot but such often work in only short periods of time then gradually begin to lose their effect as the audience becomes to the look the audio suffers from the same problems it's constant repetitive and similar sounds become annoying so fast i had an urge to turn off the volume loses it's charm shortly after it begins it tries to be original and creative but it fails to expand on the ideas hinted by the vague plot instead it repeats the same scene again and again br br the conclusion is that is stuck in one moment even though plot wise it tries to move forward the visuals and audio remain the same throughout showing the same action in a slightly different way with just slightly a different sound a gimmick cannot alone make a movie it also needs pace and variety something seems to have forgotten,negative
i am right now watching the big chill on dvd one of its actors is meg i looked it up on imdb which led me to reading bio which mentioned and reminded me of sister jennifer whose filmography included key west which was one of my wife's and my favorite shows i then read this entire thread of reviews br br wow i really loved that show also and agree with all of the sentiments about the and of the characters and situations br br as most everyone else i wish it was on dvd or otherwise available br br the last reviewer says he watches it on reruns so i wish i knew what network channel day times it is on br br so if anyone knows how we can watch episodes of key west please let us know,positive
this is a really sad and touching movie it deals with the subject of child abuse it's really sad but mostly a true story because it happens everyday wood and joseph play the two children or a single mother who just tries to make a home for them while living with her parents a man who likes to be called the king comes into their life he hits the youngest boy bobby but the two brothers not to tell their mother but finally she finds out after the bobby is hurt badly the end kind of ruined it for me because it is so totally unbelievable but except for that i love the movie,positive
this intelligent moving and beautiful film is a study in the ways people react to tradition reminds me of william novels br br the characters all feel trapped by the weight of the roles they are expected to assume and seek for a way to live within those roles rather than throw them off altogether but as the story develops the two wives trapped in draw together drawing on the strength of their friendship and love they give each other the courage to abandon their roles br br they have found that living within their traditions is no life at all it is a sort of living death without passion without true connection to others without although they know there will be a price to be paid for their rebellion and freedom it is a price much less dear than the sacrifice called for by a comfortable predictable existence br br the screenplay is wonderful the acting marvelous near perfect,positive
even with it's low budget this movie could have been worth watching if there was a story to tell here it started out pretty good and fairly engaging and believable the actors and characters were interesting although there wasn't much character development my favorite scene was when they were all eating their some seemed to hate it and some seemed to think it wasn't too bad the story starts out very and then br br and then it into a little horror which is usually a death sentence for most sci fi suddenly no scientific basis for any of the goings on no real believable end game for the villain no real explanation of what's going on generally if a movie has to use the f word for every other word it usually down from there too i still get offended believe it or not i often wonder what people to make bad sci fi isn't there a universe of fantastically good stories out there don't people feel like they are wasting their time and everyone else's when they put out stuff like this why do we get so much mediocre sci fi like this no female actors characters either none at all this had the to be another predator but alas fell far far short br br my final comment poor editing and finally too low a budget to build a real what gives br br my advice for any low budget sci fi movie production companies out there make sure you got a good story before you start and edit out bad special effects it's better we see nothing than something that looks fake or ridiculously fuzzy,negative
in 1983 two bond movies was made one was the official bond movie starring roger moore who starred as james bond for the first time in live and let die and the other was the bond movie never say never again starring sean connery who played the role as james bond for the first time in dr no that film was also the first james bond movie to be made never say never again is called because the company that made the other james bond movies didn't make this one never say never again is also a remake of the 1965 movie there are several differences in never say never again that lets you know it wasn't made by one thing is that the opening is different there's no gun barrel sequence and no pre credit sequence another difference is the music score some things in this movie does feel like a james bond movie like the and cars plus james bond always getting it on with the ladies and the film does have an opening credits song sean connery still does a great job playing bond the acting from the other stars is also great br br never say never again is a good film that's just has entertaining as the official james bond films check this out 10 10,positive
is a somewhat self indulgent uneven movie but as lord byron another visitor to to his friend john murray about his similarly self indulgent and don juan it may be but is it not life is it not the thing br br the connections to shakespeare's may seem as another here claims a bit but watch the film again after re reading the and they'll seem far closer what makes this film flawed is its uneasy mixture of straightforward normal narrative and sudden jarring apparent particularly between cassavetes and but to be honest these scenes are the most remarkable and gripping in the film if the hardest to watch br br the music of this film composed by is also overlooked particularly fine is the perfect little piece played to the afternoon as people animals and seemingly the entire island collapse to sleep away the part of the afternoon it's a sublime moment and representative of the best aspect of this movie and the one thing that keeps it somewhat the fact that aside from extensive flashbacks and the very end it is the story of one day on an island from awakening to night br br overall i'd rather watch this film a hundred times than see some hollywood piece of crap once and in fact i probably have watched it several dozen times most times i see something i missed before br br confession i'm biased this was the second movie i took my greek american wife to see br br trivia notes on this flick br br it was molly first movie as well as sam br br it was actually not filmed on an island but in the southern tip of the remote of the of br br the by today's standards primitive special effects were done by who later became head of disney and still later was an to the us intelligence community br br paul the director chose the title of his recent autobiography show me the magic from the script of,positive
this is truly awful the attempt at a comics adaptation ever committed to film every possible thing about this movie that could be bad is music acting lighting sets special effects about the only i can find are that sue looks cute in her blue and that the thing make up is almost passable face only that's it don't bother tracking down that copy it's really not worth your time even the captain america movie from the early 90's is far less excruciating than in your seat while you try to endure this mess,negative
well at least this was the last sequel that i could find at blockbuster because this movie was just downright horrible i mean i can understand how hard it would be to get rid of an evil house we're talking starting a horrible fire etc but a mirror how hard could it be can it be to get rid of a mirror this was the most horrible movie that could've put the title of into the picture br br well a group of friends who are pretty much from the start are a bunch of freaks one of them is a photographer of some kind and buys a haunted mirror from a homeless creepy guy teaching me a valuable lesson don't buy things from homeless creepy guy of course the horrible deaths and chaos ensues this group though i can't imagine anyone missing them br br please skip a new generation i've already got a few complaints about my generation so i think this was a not to sound so crazy p but believe me this is horribly acted not well thought out and not even scary i feel so bad for the original writers of the horror they must be crying every time person witnesses this film br br 1 10,negative

this movie had an excellent premise and could have been a fascinating look at racism attitudes to women at work and male female relations in england early last century however it simply turned into a love story but what was worse is that the love story was totally unbelievable the acting was for the most part poor the direction confusing but most of all the screenplay and the story were non existent the only thing i liked about the film was how dark it must have been before electric lighting i really got a sense of just how little light one candle puts out,negative
this film would have put the typical hollywood to shame the emotions portrayed are subdued and understated in a very comfortable fashion the plot is cliche enough with a lead role having disease this is not a spoiler and was well established quite early into the movie the method of execution is somehow unique from most love stories you ever saw not even a kiss was being and yet you will feel the enormous current of love between the two leads initially i assumed this on emotions to be something to the typical eastern values but later decided against it br br this film is so understated that if you compare it with movies like cinema would have felt overtly manipulative by comparison so it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea br br after watching the film i have this strong feeling that holly wood love movies or love movies all around to be accurate have been romance or passion and label it as love i am sure we all have our own and i wouldn't say these qualities are but i would venture to say that the movie will let you wonder if there is any added dimension you have with you loved one br br it's very obvious that i enjoy this movie a lot considering the fact that the movie is so plain in appearance it is one of the more cinematic movie i saw lately,positive
i went to see this film at the cinema on the strength of its potentially interesting subject matter good cast a director who had previously done the highly rated once were warriors and my liking for noir ish films set in l a in the forties and fifties i would argue that i am reasonably easy to please in this film category i appreciate the classics of the genre but i will sit through and enjoy a half decent if derivative effort as well however i found this film completely unbearable br br despite a good situation in which to place the story nobody seems to do or say anything remotely interesting or entertaining in the whole two hours plus of this sorry mess good actors are wasted in endless scenes of dialogue ranging from banal to embarrassing the narrative is slack and drags and none of the events it depicts is handled well enough to do anything other than bore the audience to death there is no drama no atmosphere no tension absolutely no entertainment value and by the end i simply didn't care what happened because i did not believe in anything in the film br br l a came out a year later and regardless of whether one version of the story is more true to life the latter film deservedly gets all the for its excellence in every department falls by contrast fails in every department a fact made all the more tragic by the amount of talent involved if they ever show this on a plane i will still walk out,negative
this movie is total yet i've seen this movie several times already and plan to watch several more times because despite its sheer it's very entertaining and it has one of my favorite hokey movie actors casper van who is here in his full hokey movie glory here casper van is fully casper van and ya gotta love him for it if he hadn't been in this movie it would have been totally unwatchable dreck or at least far than it already is br br the science used here makes absolutely no sense at all no one else in the world noticed that big approaching the earth besides that small group not even with thousands and thousands and thousands of professional and amateur constantly searching the for just such a thing an that big would have made itself completely obvious to anyone who has a pair of eyes even vaguely capable of sight and a of the off the atmosphere and no one even noticed it a rock that big hitting the atmosphere would have caused enormous that would have in turned caused an enormous amount of damage to the surface surely someone would have noticed such a thing the science used in this movie is so completely ridiculous that somehow it works for making this movie as entertaining as it is br br one thing i noticed is that despite the uber heat all the characters weren't dripping with sweat and their clothes completely with it at the most the characters looked like they had been lightly on occasion by someone off camera with a water bottle to give a sweat sheen authenticity was not a goal that this movie and constantly for which in a weird and hilarious sort of way gives this movie its entertainment charm br br is this movie actually worth watching definitely assuming of course you have absolutely no expectations of anything that even remotely approaches reality and it's your desire to and in total at the moment,negative
i have not seen such a stupid dumb movie since quite a while it absolutely has no logic no horror doesn't scare you no suspense not thrilling i mean i didn't find even one part of the movie appealing br br i don't know what they were thinking when they made the movie you watch the whole movie to find out that there is a plant that can walk around drag human dead bodies and eat human flesh not just that but it can also talk i e imitate sounds like a or human talking so its like the plant makes the noise of a cell phone so they go after the and find out its a plant how intelligent of the plant to setup an br br this clearly is the creativity level of a primary school kid bad,negative
even though this is the first film by the broken lizard group it's the last one i saw having mildly enjoyed super troopers and managed to sit through the crap that is club and i was surprised to hear they did an earlier film now i didn't sit down with high hopes but was hoping for a funny campus romp my friend asked me to keep in mind they are younger obviously and its their first into film i did and was still disappointed not taking away the acting and comedy skills of the guys they were ok the whole film was tiresome clichéd and frankly boring some of the other actors in the film were really poor at acting and the game didn't even resemble poor showing they improved drastically with super troopers and have since lets hope they get back on form with super troopers 2,negative
having first read the novel i don't mind for the purposes of filming how differently it is scripted as long as it to or at least includes the plot for reasons known only to hollywood important parts of the story are completely ignored and a different story line added the reason this novel passed the test of time is no doubt due to the of both the characters and plot as a whole to with this structure is to destroy the intricate balance of the story line and therefore the of the story although a matter of opinion the casting of this film leaves a lot to be desired characters described as very fat should at least be made to look to allow for the character to have credibility the days of slavery can't be over or surely actors of this would have been in revolt at such a travesty of the story the face of is described as being in appearance tara very feminine appearance doesn't ring true again laura fairly is described as being if not so with dark hair she does not quite fit the impression from the novel badly done hollywood br br j hunter,negative
film from 1950 is given a for the 80's dennis quaid is a university who used to have a successful writing career but thats now gone down the along with his marriage the initial exposition plants the notion in the viewers mind that everybody has something against him so when the revelation comes that he has been we are not that surprised unless of course you are familiar with the original after being told he has less than to live decides to trace back his steps with the help of one of his students sydney fuller meg ryan but they find they have many obstacles in their way br br the film begins in black and white as in the rain towards the local police station where he wishes to report a murder his own but the lewis style 80's beat that this scene only serves to remove any sense of tension and tells the viewer that this is going to be pretty bad its only a question of how bad sure enough we are soon using the old flashback medium but now the film to full technicolor there are some brief to noir as the couple stand in front of a blind but there's really nothing here to recommend it the performances are awful ryan in particular doing her usual blonde with a pie smile routine the film is a lazy attempt to put some into an already fine movie premise obviously trying to cash in one the body heat audience the seeming results are undoubtedly aimed at a teen audience and to be sure they are welcome to it 4 10,negative
look we rated this a 10 on entertainment value it's a comedy sure not an epic like lord of the rings or gone with the wind still for comedy particularly these days it's a 10 br br not a long movie moves quickly and easily right at home is this role as a loose but brilliant captain of a sub against the us nuclear navy in a war game designed to see if terrorists could get a nuclear bomb through our kinda ironic this plot pre don't take this topic seriously cause it's mostly laughs from start to finish br br rob schneider is 2nd in command like frank burns and pulls many laughs all the others are perfect for their parts as well rip torn and bruce dern br br look plain and simple you got 90 minutes and need a laugh or pick me up and you're not a their is some language and innuendo then rent it or buy it we did and enjoy i wish they would make a part 2,positive
this was a hindi movie hindi horrible reasons cheap dialogues cheap special effects cheap directing a 2 max movie into 3 br br spoiler little bit br br specifically for this movie 1 dialogues are not funny they are cheesy and cheap though akshay tried his best acting for which i admire him comedy was not funny at all i laughed only 3 times during this movie 2 first half of the movie was useless to the story of the 2nd half the 2nd half was the actual story movie the first half was time pass build up 3 the characters are not developed properly at all is smart in the first half an idiot in the 2nd half rest of the movie we don't really develop any feelings or caring for akshay and govinda their characters are stupid nothing more they do not seem to struggle in their difficulties jokes are funny but they are not funny in a very serious scene the characters of the gang and the drug are cheesy and have been used in last 20 movies there is nothing new about those characters again they are shown to be stupid for being funny however stupid funny when stupid is the norm throughout the whole movie the only character that made sense was that of lara with a real story 4 special effects were crap at the end r off the ladder of a fire truck you notice that they are not actually on ladder in air secondly start to fly off when the ladder starts to move around can't fly off a ladder when its moving they fall directly to the ground due to something called gravity 5 the whole movie was dubbed all the dialogues were recorded after the movie the actors' lips hardly to the dialogues br br there are probably many other reasons why this movie was crap but i can't remember them look at this masterpiece of crappy indian movies by non intelligent even stupid director yourself and you will agree with my review who like hindi movies please increase your expectations for decent quality in hindi movies br br let me say that not all hindi movies are bad i like some i did not like this one br br 1 5 10 1 5 for the effort by akshay and lara,negative

eight teen are brought to the abandoned hotel to clean it out as community service they soon discover that it's the of a psychopath kane who has a thing for pulling out and collecting it doesn't help that the guard watching over them steven has had a previous run in with the beast four years earlier br br a guilty pleasure of mine are slasher films most of them are poorly directed and acted but they still hold some appeal and entertainment value see no evil is a good example of this it features atrocious writing and acting but the death scenes are pretty good and the movie proves to be entertaining the premise sounds like a mixture between friday the 13th saw 2 and halloween i really liked the idea but it didn't work out too well it was really just a bunch of clichés and everything was predictable screenwriter dan just focused on the death scenes and nothing else apparently the death scenes themselves are pretty good and gruesome director gregory dark did a good job with them and he came up with some creative kills br br the acting is pretty bland and this is because all of the characters are one dimensional and we don't know much about them it was hard to feel for these people because they were pretty unlikable kane is surprisingly mediocre i was expecting his on screen presence to be scarier but he didn't do that good of a job a second rate jason if you will the rest of the actors are relatively unknown and this film will probably neither help nor hurt their careers br br while the death scenes are gory they aren't necessary scary there's really no suspense just some gory death scenes because of this the movie doesn't hold much of a repeat value also if you don't like slasher films then don't waste your time with this one it will do little to change your opinion in the end see no evil is a decent slasher film but it is generic and forgettable so it's not exactly worth watching rating 6 10,negative

ok so some of the plot points might be a bit obvious but over all an interesting idea which works towards a tight ending the acting is solid particularly who plays one of the central characters in this ensemble piece he certainly has a screen presence and he is interesting to watch it has a low budget feel which works for the sort of thriller horror genre four belongs to the film doesn't try to take itself to seriously which adds to the overall charm the character of phil dave has to be one of the most annoying character seen on screen since rupert king of comedy worth adding to a weekend pile of dvds,positive

kevin spacey is my favorite actor of all time he is without a doubt on other's lists as well when it comes to great actors he even pulled off a good irish accent in ordinary decent criminal as well but kevin spacey as a mafia leader or even a i'm not so sure he could go that far the movie to me just didn't make any sense and the some of the story just didn't feel solved to me br br i know once again that imdb is going to make me write ten more lines but i'm not so sure on what i could say about this movie because i am still trying to figure it out silly isn't it but i'm pretty sure that more than a few of you imdb users have been in the same as i am in right now where you just want to say a line or two about a movie but now you have to do ten lines wow that should do it d br br 3 10,negative
i know i know it's difficult if not for there to be such a thing as believable fantasy but to me there is also such a condition too much with or from my overall opinion of the movie the latter was the case for me with regard to not only did i have too many unanswered questions concerning the storyline but some of the acting too i thought was a bit over the top maybe though it was the writing asking them to too many trite predictable cliched over reactions others have said enough about the plot i just wish that it was done and i think that it could have been more convincingly p s this is a fresh comment about this film i just finished watching it a couple of minutes ago not a from years ago,negative

this late ish effort from plays as a modern day 70's that is gothic thriller but comes out short of thrills certainly it's not a dreadfully bad film it's got that feeling which many of later films have of someone who has given up when he's seen the first it starts out good enough almost giallo like in tone then takes a turn into gothic with a decent albeit terribly cliché set up then suddenly seems to have lost interest in the film and all we get is prolonged shots of keaton and burning then circa an hour into the film we get some sort of violent climax with decent to poor special effects this is followed by a slow paced with a very obvious twist ending if it's even intended to be a twist and throw a few very scenes along the way and you got tragic ceremony thus in parts it's got its qualities but then suddenly stumbles and in front of you a pity br br btw stay away from the dvd a useless murky pan edition which kills of what could be a good visual experience,negative
2006 written and directed by is an extraordinary film from south india plays 15 year old who lives in a rural area with her loving but alcoholic father if she is going to succeed in life she will have to overcome the of low and poverty br br i went to the film expecting the depiction of an wretched girl who is crushed by society this isn't what shows us the young woman is attractive intelligent and ambitious she won't accept her fate with tears or simple she wants to succeed and it's never clear that she won't succeed despite the odds br br the acting that mr draws forth from his cast of amateurs is is outstanding in the title role and does an exceptional job as mrs the wealthy who is a famous classical dancer br br in the film learns south indian classical dance as she did in real life i couldn't tell how good dancing was by indian standards but the many dance scenes were don't think bollywood this is classical dance it's also very different from ballet because in ballet the dancer lifts her heels away from the floor in sound indian dance the is the primary contact point br br this is a movie that is not to be missed it will work on dvd but will be better on a theater screen because the dancing will be shown to better advantage however if dvd is your only option then see it that way just be sure to see it,positive
my first rather enjoyed it great format and peter character extremely good wonderfully quirky he can take his place next to miss and also the likes of and rick diamond i can see why this series has such a following br br as a professional musician i have to say a few things first of all a conductor who merely produces these pedestrian performances of the most basic examples of the is never going to have a house like that or fame like that or cars like that much less be called a genius and the that the actor does is so bad as to be laughable no orchestra would take him seriously br br there are several little things too such as his rehearsal of why it when they've just performed it for tv any musician would be able to play it in his or her sleep anyway his to the ensemble are downright nonsensical and when columbo asks what means she says it's it's italian as are the vast majority of musical br br and finally no two great musicians would ever have the following play something what should i play music is their job and passion they know it well something far more specific would be asked for and offered br br i know i should get out more,positive
putting aside the i'm so sure s and totally s this is one of the and romances portrayed on film deborah where is she now as julie and nicolas cage as randy are as classic as romeo and juliet tony and maria jake and samantha you can't help but fall in love with them plus the soundtrack the sparks the the and of course modern english is also outstanding for fans of films about young love i'd equally recommend the recent film all the real girls by david gordon green,positive
i finally saw and i have to say that i equally enjoyed it and was by it what's great about it is the atmosphere the music the location the cinematography and the beautiful cast the story is non existent for sure but with these movies it doesn't really matter the pace in and the settings are exotic the film has a lot going for it unfortunately it also has a few things going against it the first thing is that the gorgeous annie belle and the handsome al have no chemistry whatsoever because the two are playing a couple and are on screen for almost the entire length of the film the lack of chemistry between the two is a definite according to imdb al and annie were a real couple when they filmed this movie they sure kept their attraction to each other from showing on screen br br the other problem with is that some sex scenes are just or even ridiculous there's one sex scene that stands out as one of the i've ever seen in any soft porn flick our young blonde couple are picked up by a helicopter pilot who happens to be a cross the pilot flies over the city to pick up his girlfriend and they have an orgy of sorts in the helicopter in mid air and al is filming all of this with his camera i kid you not ridiculous we later see that footage being edited on a while the footage rolls al and annie start making out this scene is actually good but the footage on the screen behind them was at times too much watching the footage of the cross getting it on with his bimbo while the helicopter almost had me rolling on the floor laughing out loud is this supposed to be erotic or believable in any way the last thing i want to see is a woman a man in drag certainly when the man in drag makes for such an ugly woman while a helicopter no less al and annie getting it on was cool as was the music during the entire scene i just wish the footage on the editing screen wasn't so silly br br speaking of drag another dull plot point in which really drags the movie to a crawl are all those moments with the great maria and his two wives a married is an interesting idea but it hardly here as hot or even interesting the two women are sorta dull and we rarely see the three having sex in fact keeps his clothes on for almost the entire film even when he's with annie belle this is another minor complaint about there's nudity but it's not as much as other films of the same era it just needed more skin to punch it up br br except for those minor complaints and the drag queen moments is actually very watchable i love these kind of films from the 1970s when the attention was set on mood and atmosphere not the crude stuff we see today br br p s make sure to watch in egypt which stars annie al but also another famous screen couple laura and the music in that movie is also great,positive
ok so this film is not very well known and wasn't very well i discovered this fairly brutal gangster gone good movie by complete accident on one of millions of movie channels late on some boring evening but i'm glad i did the opening sequence to this film is fantastically comical in a very dark way this in fact sets what i think is the general tone for the movie i think a lot of critics and movie fans that have actually seen this film have been a bit unfair to just write it off as a lower budget gangster movie in the dogs vein ok so there are similarities between and some other crime genre films that it has been compared to but in all fairness i think this film takes a much more darkly comic look at this type of film and the end result is a engrossing well made funny if not totally original film tom jane is good in this and deserves the recognition he will now hopefully get thanks to the the his performance as the bad guy gone good is realistic funny and just cold enough to make you believe really was a bad ass before he thats another thing that makes this film stand out for me the characters in gang you get the strangest trio of criminals ever assembled a smooth charismatic but very cold leader nick a trigger happy blood loving sexually bitch of a woman dallas and a psychotic hill billy with brains with a for torture billy hill throw in the most bizarre police detective ever seen on screen beautifully over played by mickey rourke and you've got a recipe for well for really its at times darkly comic sometimes brutal sometimes unoriginal but always engrossing and worth watching 8 10,positive
this little film brings back a lot of memories both fond and foul of what can and does happen when one is a working musician the not so pleasant for the band the management of the jumping up and down telling you what to play the sheer ecstasy of the applause far from being it is in fact very accurate in the way it depicts musicians professional and otherwise who have a great distance to perform a season of at a there are those times when everything goes perfectly there are those other times when you immediately start to miss your partner and wonder what the hell you are doing this far from home in the end you have to make the best of it because there is no other way out,positive
i had been amazed by director back in 2003 his first american project was less impressive but a decent start is his second feature and while the visual signature is recognizable the film never rises above the level of a b movie br br it's a shame because the main premise has all the ingredients for twists and turns and the ensemble cast featuring many quality actors should be able to deliver could have made a great heist film but instead goes for an action flick then again he could have shot a cool action flick but it doesn't really deliver in that department either br br what you are left with is one implausible situation after another a group of poorly characters and fight over a sum of money if you look past the sharp cinematography cast and the tight music score you're left with what could have been a below average direct to video featuring van damme or seagal br br this was probably the most disappointing movie for me in quite some time,negative
back in 1982 a little film called making love shocked audiences with its frank and open depiction of a romantic love story that just happened to be about two men br br i have been waiting for years for a good old fashioned romance between two men latter days is all that and more br br yes it is melodramatic cliché ridden and quite corny that is what makes it so wonderful there is nothing like a good romantic movie and this movie is romantic in the best sense of the word br br as to the issue of religion sorry folks but these things do happen and are happening to gay people even now it is not just the mormon church that rejects its gay members gay people in every religion have faced harsh judgment and br br i loved this movie it has a perfect blend of a fantasy romance grounded in the reality of the day to day lives of the characters if i could give it more than ten stars i would good love stories never go out of style great love stories like latter days are unforgettable br br it's about time,positive

i played sam the porter sidekick in the film dead which later aired as alien express and i have to say that for my part i thoroughly enjoyed watching this film as a struggling actor this was a chance for me to work with fantastic people it gave me great scenes to include on my reel and it allowed me to work on a dream job for a month and a half no waiting tables the director and steve and scott the producers were very kind by giving me this opportunity to participate in the production i made many friends lou todd steven and i consider myself very fortunate to have been able to work with these incredibly talented people there was not a day that went by that i did not laugh my butt off the real tragedy isn't so much the special effects it's that every single person who watched this film didn't get to see what happened behind the scenes and all the talent that truly went into it building the set prop masters wardrobe makeup artists script the cinematographer production extras craft services producers director and actors it's a given that sci fi didn't spend a terrible amount of money on the film 2 million but there was a lot of time energy and man power that was into it i look on the film now as a production that brought a lot of talented people together for a fun project that was shot without complications in less than two months it was a magnificent cast and crew and i'm just so glad to be apart of it on a further note to those of you who don't know lou diamond phillips todd bridges and steven brand they are fantastic people who are incredibly funny lou i still am working on my deniro impression and can't thank you enough for introducing me to midnight run todd every time i hear an elvis song i can't forget the story you told me about hanging out with him at his house for dinner can you please pass me the im a huge elvis fan steven mr brand you are a true and all the advice and i received from you will always be appreciated i miss you guys and hope you are well thanks for the good memories stories jokes and friendship oh and miss says hello br br joe,positive

this for one has nothing to do with the absolutely fantastic first flick and of course us americans just have to remake everything successful into english because man reading subtitles is hard isn't it from what i've see in the new trailers with the adorable now pregnant jessica alba well that sure ruins every teenage boys fantasy everywhere doesn't it it looks exactly the same but probably w double the budget i thought the original was one of the best horror suspense mystery flicks i have seen in any language in quite a long while i would recommend watching that one and skipping this one all together there is no reason to watch this as there is no reason this even called the eye 2 except to capitalize on the excellence that was the first flick do yourself a favor watch the eye with the volume turned up and get ready for some jumping i watched it w on and was pleasantly surprised on the excellence that was the direction of the brothers if the eye remake does well which i'm hoping it does for the sake of the brothers movie careers but at the same time it seems a shame that people won't can't see the original because very often almost always the remake isn't as good as the original watch this one if one wants to be mildly kinda of boring flick but the original is no comparison to this sequel in name only flick,negative

the thirty years that have passed since the making of this movie have made the suspense somewhat and will not keep the public as as i am sure it did in 1979 it is still entertaining enough though and some of it's power when one finds out its sad relevance today check out the story of davis nuclear plant with the top of the line actors and steady pace one can learn to overlook the dated '70s environment and see it for the political critique that it is i doubt however it will survive the test of time it might not be entirely forgotten thanks to its cast but otherwise the dialog setting and score will make a remake of this movie as the oil situation now is comparable to the situation in the 70's and alternative sources of energy are again becoming a topic we can only hope the current generation gets blockbuster about the risks of nuclear power like this,positive
alexander is a series of superb sequences of cinematic opera that pass from to and end in a the story takes place in prince alexander the knights in a battle on the ice of lake br br the film is a splendid historical which shows director at his most and in a superb battle sequence using music instead of natural sounds several films have scenes strongly influenced by the battle of lake including doctor 1965 1998 and king arthur 2004 alexander was kept out of due to changing political winds and then as perhaps the most influential soviet made historical film,positive
the movie i've ever seen not scary just bad 1st movie made by the wwe and trust me the only person this movie might appeal to is wrestling fans it has terrible acting and the worst directing i've seen yet i found myself laughing at the storyline and bad actors i saw that the wwe people tried really hard to put a lot of the wrestling moves in the kills and several camera effects i think they copied a lot from silent hill this movie's not engaging either so if you do see it you're gonna find yourself out because of it's lack of suspense the the worst no matter what you'll come out wanting your money back,negative
spoof films have come so far since mel brooks in 'the 1968 said don't be stupid be a come and join the nazi party it brought us delightful films such as ' and even but the good die young luckily the genre managed to make it all the way up to the end of the 90's and then the brothers unleashed the apocalypse suddenly the word spoof was an innuendo for crude sex jokes most movies claiming to be spoofs since then have followed suit including movie and the film to kill the genre sure there have been some there was of the and will has become a vehicle close to every sport imaginable also the wayans brothers quit the and they have been made by the brothers while these films have held some value in the rescue the genre is doomed to be films only loved by males who just discovered what an is people who haven't explored the term and cut and movies together for a quick laugh no heart no brain just cheap sadly 'the has been added to the list dave who starred in alongside ferrell leads a teams of to win against a coach carl of fame who got him back into has shown promise as a supporting actor but as a lead in this film he just sounds scripted he sounds too much like he's doing a cold read also the jokes about being a washed up coach who through the course of the movie encourages the team to fail in school and later runs from the police in his underwear have been done before yes this is a spoof film but let us remember that even spoofs can have quality give the characters dignity and a sort of sophisticated view on modern society also the on stereotypes is not going to get us any more laughs who knew one movie with talking people could lead to gangster stereotypes not really but you see while i will admit to laugh at least a few times it wasn't on par the football team within itself had a lot of stereotypes including a mexican a cocky jock a fat guy the nerd and the mentally handicapped aid even the only female on the team got reduced to stereotypical female humor being mostly scantily clad and giving off in fact her character as well as most of the others never developed it's a sad state of affairs for this movie if only it wasn't so on stupid sex jokes it could've made something for itself in fact this movie will probably be the butt of jokes alongside for time to come really deserved better the script in general was poorly conceived even the championship 'the toilet so yes spoof movies are dying there is a movie called the be ahead of the trend now coming out that includes a spoof on britney breakdown so let those kids keep getting but people grow up and lose them we need one day they will learn to stop spoofs and them hopefully one of the heroes will be made by the master mel brooks coming out next year br br rating 2 out of 5 stars,negative
i wish i knew what to make of a movie like this it seems to be divided into two parts action sequences and personal dramas it follows through survival school guided by master chief kevin then to where a couple of spectacular take place the last resulting in death br br i must say that the scenes on the beach struck me as so stereotypical in so many ways that they should be a typical bar room fight between navy guys and coast pirates the experienced old who is as an elderly bar tender tells him married to the coast guard the older chief who keeps trying to prove to himself that he's still the neglected ex wife to whom pays a farewell visit the seemingly sadistic demands placed on the by the all in pursuit of a goal the gifted young man by a troubled past br br the problem is that we've seen it all before if it's kevin here it's clint eastwood or john wayne or lou jr or or robert deniro elsewhere and the climactic scene has elements drawn shamelessly from the perfect storm and dead calm none of it is fresh and none of the old stereotyped characters and situations are handled with any originality br br it works best as a kind of documentary of what goes on in the school and what could happen afterward and even that's a little weak because we don't get much in the way of it's mostly personal conflict romance and tension about out br br it's a shame because the u s coast guard is rather a noble outfit its official mission being the safety of lives and property at sea in war time it is transferred to the navy department and serves in combat roles in world war ii the coast guard even managed to have a of honor winner in its ranks br br but again we don't learn much about that we don't really learn much about anything the film into a succession of visual displays and not too much else a disappointment,negative

this movie has an outstanding acting by and a stunning by the hector this is in my opinion the best brazilian movie ever made the movie was filmed with child from the the brazilian the children weren't actors and were casted by in the city of de the story is about the criminal children that are arrested in the prison that looks much worse than the children are constantly raped and beaten by the policeman unfortunately this is not purely fiction in brazil it does happen till today a must see for those who like violent movies but take your mother off the room because it is a hard movie,positive

when people say children are annoying u think ya my little cousins can be annoying and i said little these children are turning 10 and they are without a doubt the most annoying children you will ever encounter in a film lets start with the blonde debbie she's a slut of a girl i mean come on she wears mini she has stupid blonde hair and a red bunny like face she acts so innocent next we have the second child the geek who thinks he's so cool with his long range shooting and his use of a a coat over the gun and most of all his evil smile the next kid is the quiet one you don't care about so thats all on him this film me at the children's intelligence and the only enjoyment i got was from my cousin who kept about them,negative
this is one of those movies where the acting set location direction and effects were so bad you need to rent a copy get 5 or 6 buddies a of beer sit down and watch it to borrow from the late douglas adams watching this movie will be like having your brains out by a slice of wrapped around a large gold brick br br what is wrong everything british actors posing as americans there have been many that can pull it off like bob but he isn't in this one it wasn't even necessary to choose north america as a location why not say it took place in england or something the director seemed to like taking shots of girls tits and more than actually coming up with some kind of character motivation so at this point you drunken buddies will be saying all right another t a shot there isn't much dialog so feel free to skip off to the kitchen and make those what did i like about this movie after my friends passed out i managed to collect off of them and told them they spent it at the strip bar after we finished watching the awful movie,negative
is a computer part which russian messages so that america can't understand them they can only be read by the intended the americans know that the russians are going to a message revealing the plans of five political they want to carry out br br so they send in former martin sheen to grab the and substitute a false part so they'll be able to the message and block the assassination attempts br br however as we listen in on the americans heads of the spy we find that they already have the and they want to try to steal only to convince the russians that they don't already have it they don't expect to succeed that way the russians who had stopped with just in case will begin again br br is in the computer in the office of somehow must gain access and in order to do that he must find out when will be out he sends in his former girlfriend karen to seduce so that she can look through his papers and find out his movements karen is glad to do it as they tortured her father a university professor to death br br because we know that it's better for the americans if fails the movie becomes even more intense as a spy thriller we find ourselves hoping he can survive against the odds especially as he uses ingenious methods to beat the russians at every turn br br but what's this are karen and falling in love will win karen back or will she actually end up with the romantic twist lifts this spy thriller already worthy of a ten even higher for its originality the writing the direction and the acting all combine to make this new and fascinating twist a realistic one br br you find yourself at the edge of your seat gripping your not only for the excitement of the spy story but for the intensely beautiful romantic love story as well the two themes are perfectly right up to the end you really want both sides to win so who does win in the end you'll have to see the movie and find out won't you,positive
i'd never heard of zero budget auteur neil johnson before seeing on dvd at hollywood video a few minutes into the movie i realize this isn't a bad thing like many straight to video sci fi movies this is a film dominated largely by bad special effects and a constant parade of pretentious sci fi concepts that fail to create a story br br viewers are tortured with a religious sounding text introduction then a spoken introduction followed by a narration by the main character's daughter to me this seemed like a smoke screen to mask a film with ugly visuals and zero character emphasis some people on here seem all too ready to take this film seriously and it's seemingly new age messages hook line and these reviews must come from the same kind of people who can themselves into thinking that things like battlefield earth was a brilliant movie or that is just as good as coke br br those who were in by the cheesy cover art can look forward to lousy acting in small doses with long of people not talking rotten computer animated effects in extra large doses and irritating talking computers what you won't get is excitement emotional memorable dialogue or a good story br br is bull and the constant of the narration proves it real science fiction hell real film making is about characters and their dialogue not special effects and dull this is right down there with similar direct to video sci fi like one and if the boredom of strange and alien visitor is something you seek out by all means watch the crap out of this if you enjoy good storytelling and hate fake lens you're better off with a real movie,negative
i am sorry to see that surface has not been picked up for the nbc 2006 2007 season i guess market demand for inane game and reality shows on broadcast television a reflection on our sense of culture has a good story i hope and pray that some network picks it up so it will continue on as does stargate and it's spin offs br br i also hope the producers find a where they can produce the level of post production they wished for in a tv guide interview right now the reruns on sci fi will have to do i for one would love to see where the story goes after the that ended episode 15 i would like to find out the mastermind of the efficient effort to the real identity of the creatures br br,positive
this movie was amazing i was in tears by the end of the movie okay i know the acting sucked but that's not what was important the message came through loud and clear about god's love for us and sacrifice the movie was realistic and showed actual human feelings whether it be anger of the blond girl's or the guy that asked questions but it also showed the joy that comes from a true relationship with christ the cars were awesome and the actors were very hot and that attracted my eye but what i liked most about this movie was the clear message the mother and supported ben in his new walk with christ and tried to be a example to others d showed that no matter if you have all the world has to offer without christ it doesn't matter nina showed how a misguided but good person can easily miss the mark i loved this movie and think that it will bring many teenagers to christ,positive
one night on an independent channel famous for showing off the wall films was aired this monstrosity though tempted to turn it off we watched it to the bitter end hoping to see some semblance of redeeming value alas there was none absolutely nothing the film quality was cheap the soundtrack was the editing was ridiculous then again there was precious little to salvage after a few minutes of cameron doctor character about some patient of his the viewer is tortured by no plot pathetic writing terrible acting and an utter lack of and continuity the rotting on top of this mess was the most horrendous special effects and makeup to ever disgrace the screen even for television the main character stumbles through his role in a rubber mask and a pair of which appear to have been in and rolled in perhaps the poor lighting and gag worthy film quality were attempting to cover up how bad to the power the makeup was one can only hope that at least one deliberate decision was made in the course of this hopelessly amateurish video seriously a handful of three year old kids could've produced a better project at the end poor mr mitchell returns how desperate he must've been for money and out some nonsense that's supposed to connect this pile of crap with the aids please spare you and your loved ones the cruelty of sitting through this it was so bad even mystery science theater 3000 couldn't have it,negative
yes i had the misfortune of watching this film when i was younger at a friends house as his mother was a teacher and she wanted to screen the movie and see if there were any inappropriate scenes that a parent might object to well other than the unfunny jokes i think this one was in the clear well the unfunny jokes and the strange scene where the look a like ernest hits on a girl so yes ernest gets thrown in jail thanks to a look a like and proceeds to try to escape and there is other stuff to it like him becoming at one point shooting electricity and in a very painful to watch finale flying there are a couple of jokes but nothing to much to mention except for the gun from soap i think that is the only scene me or my friend's mother laughed out loud at this and camp are the only two ernest movies i have ever seen and from what i have seen in them i am not going to track down the other films ernest was good in small doses but a movie is just to much even when it is as short as this one i figure though the films made money mainly because all you need is and a location and a theme and you have your movie,negative
no no no no my entire being is revolting against this dreadful remake of a classic movie i knew we were heading for trouble from the moment meg ryan appeared on screen with her ridiculous hair and clothing literally looking like a scarecrow in that garden she was digging meg ryan playing meg ryan how tiresome is that and it got worse so much worse the horribly cliché lines the stock characters the increasing sense i was watching a spin off of the first wives club and the ultimate hackneyed in the delivery room how many times have i seen this movie only once but it feel like a dozen times nothing original or fresh about it for shame,negative
i like hack think the lone ranger as a cab driver a decent but flawed guy in philadelphia doing his best while seeking to work out issues from a troubled past and you've got the synopsis david morse is nearly perfect as he helps people but instead of riding silver in the old west he drives a cab through the mean streets of contemporary without out silver bullets the supporting cast is first class and well above average at times the witty dialog almost reaches the level of that 70s classic series the files this show deserves a return hopefully in a better time than friday eastern,positive
i saw this last night and voted it an 8 since then it's grown on me and i'd give it a 9 br br the film has at first a seemingly slightly between the first and second the first half is a comedy and there's little hint of the truths of life wars religious that will become revealed in the second half while at first it may be a little because it's a slightly unfamiliar narrative sequence on reflection it works br br the acting was good in the role of alex the was especially great br br i've most other user comments and see that some who've read the book are pleased with the movie while there are a few who are not both feelings of course are valid br br for me a retired family and one world believer the film was relevant on two different levels br br the first as history gave a powerful reminder of how happen with and trying to any of those with a different moral value system than our own br br the second was that in the first it also revealed something in common to each of us all our families that each of us must go back to our roots to more fully understand ourselves br br t s expressed this in the 4th of his four when he said we shall not from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time br br jonathan goes on a fulfilling journey that any of us would find fantastically to explore and discover our roots what were those people going through then who were they really before when and during the early years before and after we were born etc br br so the film at first gives us the impression of a comedy then shifts to give us a lesson in history and human but through all that it also gives us a message about each of ourselves all of us would be rewarded to go back and understand the place from which we first started,positive
while i am a long time shatner fan since we used to watch trek re runs over the dinner hour in the early '70s i cannot think of any possible reason why he wanted to do this film whether for personal development or business reasons did he lose a bet br br as a movie fan i like to appreciate the bad films along with the great ones but shoot or be shot doesn't have any flair or funny bits unintentional or not br br while there were no scenes blink or you'll miss it nudity cartoonish violence with the endless bullet so one is led to believe that the producers merely wanted to save the required to get the mpaa to rate it this will make its way to cable with barely 10 seconds edited out br br of the eight people that were in the theatre with us four of them left mid way statements like this is stupid br br shatner plays an escaped mental patient who has been denied release because he views himself as a screenwriter the examination board his request insane he runs into a group of z grade who shoot on video because its 80 cheaper than film and decides to force them to shoot his script at there are a few minor subplots that develop some of the secondary characters but for the most part that is the whole movie br br if you want to spend 90 minutes on a shatner art film see free enterprise instead it is a much better film,negative
i have to be honest i really had a good time watching she's the man despite it being a typical teenage comedy or if you will the switching of the movie it had some pretty decent laughs that i think anyone could get adults and teens alike would over all enjoy this movie br br amanda is your typical rebellious teen who dresses and acts like a guy and when she is turned down to try out for the boy's soccer team she decides to take over her brother's appearance to prove herself worthy of being on the boy's soccer team of course love shows itself when she meets another guy who thinks she's her brother she also has a girl who is chasing after her well the tag line says it all br br this is a fun little teen drama that i think will be remembered for a while amanda did prove something in the film it's really hard to really act like a guy d well it's true br br 8 10,positive

i love low budget movies including those that are intentionally or un intentionally funny excess fake gore violence etc br br this however is beyond stupid once you see the ending you'll say what the hell was the point of all the killing scenes with no one around except in a couple to witness them and how did the ending actually come about i won't give the whole story away for those dumb enough to actually watch this is like a psychic jason first she's outside the window with a body and 15 seconds later she's in the living room the whole thing is a setup for a newcomer they pull off graphic kill scenes the in the eyes that only chris angel mind freak could pull off and again the very end was pre min waste of time i've seen one of the directors other films and it was almost as bad give me 20 grand and i could do better this really deserves a big fat 0,negative
a totally pathetic attempt at movie about sacrifices of australian soldiers during the new guinea campaign total waste of money even if you only see it on dvd thankfully the video store provided a free weekly hire with the dvd else it would have been a complete waste of money probably made by arty types and full of the symbolism that today's seem so into frankly this movie is an insult to the memory of the brave that never came back somebody please provide the funding to make a decent movie at least the equal of saving private ryan hopefully the will put as much distance between itself and this movie as possible the story needs to be told from all sides the the locals the japanese although getting the latter to tell the truth about anything that happened during the second world war is highly unlikely basically its rubbish don't see it don't buy it walk away,negative
i hate to admit it but they were right to sack the opportunity is here to build an atmosphere to draw an audience into a movie it wasn't done the characters are weak the story was weak the directing was very poor was out of his depth and it shows i've watched it several times now in the hope that there will be at least one redeeming feature but no nothing the next stage will probably be a remake of the original or hopefully it will be left well alone anyone wanting to know what the best sequel to the exorcist was should read penned by it has to be the best follow up to an original piece to be committed to print sadly it did not translate to to screen very well and i doubt if it ever could be as for beginning avoid at all costs,negative
i love this movie i know some people might say that it was not a great movie but i really disagree the comedy is classic mel brooks style and the actors were superbly chosen this was my first exposure to cary and dave and what a first impression they made cary shines as robin hood the only british robin hood mind you he has great comedic timing and the right attitude for this type of film dave is obviously much bigger now but at the time this was his first movie and he did an outstanding job as the characters were all very well planned out and all added their own little quirks to the movie i highly recommend that you rent this movie and enjoy it with a nice bowl of popcorn and some close friends,positive
i happened to have seen this movie this morning on tcm very bad acting low budget and poor plot are the impressions i felt while watching the movie the only highlight of the movie was watching tender young rita 23 years old playing a teenage indian in love with an older man in his 50's she reminded me of a earlier version of sue as only a more innocent she up and down like a 1950's almost as if you would expect her to be chewing falling all over this old man willing to give him anything as he plays it off like she's a to him any man in his 50's that had a beautiful virgin teenage girl willing to do anything for him and be his bride would be insane not to take advantage of her it's too bad that the censorship board back when this movie was released didn't more of an of a character such as rita the only reason why i gave this movie a 3 instead of a 1 is rita appearance in the movie,negative
this movie is everything but the true story of director claims are by the fact that he made the entire movie without even once meeting on whose life this movie is supposed to be based the excuse being that meeting the woman would have with director's conception of the story the film wastes the opportunity of the society of the plight of low women in the indian society and ends up as a stereotype portraying as an angry woman whose sole motivation is revenge no wonder this film was successful in the west as it to their non bollywood tastes,negative
to some of us director lubitsch for his underlying and ironic comic touches was rather wet when it came to picking material it isn't that lubitsch is overrated on the contrary he probably was ahead of his time in terms of a visual narrative yet the projects he became attached to or was assigned to are not quite the of comedy his fans like to label them with heaven can wait a screen adaptation of bus play birthday lubitsch is with sleepy don in the lead and the combination of an plot a star and a flashback the director a wicked man at the turn of the century falls asleep without realizing it presenting the facts of his life in front of entrance wicked that was problem number one the promising opening sequence set in the quickly gives way to dreary and the supporting cast is of little help 1 2 from,negative
the film itself is absolutely brilliant its that buzz that rush that makes you just want to go out blow your and loose yourself it's what the weekend is all about its our where we can come together as one and be ourselves without a care in the world the film is layered in depth and the dialogue in places is just spot on especially with the characters themselves are instantly likable one in particular is obviously character and his views on what star wars is really about genius br br if ever you've got an hour to kill before going out stick on this you'll immediately feel yourself growing in confidence definitely recommend it,positive
fame had been one of my favorite movies for years it is not just an 80's musical movie of that high school in nyc it is legendary people no longer refer to the high school of performing arts but the fame school br br the characters are real they are not hollywood and their stories are real the film follows them through the four years of school starting with a powerful monologue by one student at and finishing with a spectacular show br br apparently some find the broadway show better however it is my opinion that you should definitely see this movie anyway and then have your own view for anyone who enjoys movie watching and would like to have the classics down this is surely one of them it is an example of one of those movies that was really great with actors that we loved for those 2 hours and then never saw them again they are classic fame students br br make fame live forever,positive
it's up there with where's the groove tube it the ny city mind set of the period a wonderfully strange man with a bizarre plan by by own and at last into the bed of his parents totally absurd its the life one sees through the magic glasses seeing things as they really are i don't think it is ever shown anymore if so surely someone would the thing and put it out there a kidnap goes awry mixed up in a rain storm dashing in and out or our hero a over his prey and her into his powered ice cream spirits her off to his basement apartment in the village he is amazed surprised and incredibly disappointed when the come off instead of a lady he has captures a middle ages suburban housewife who talks and talks and talks the film is full of vignettes of the life the suburban life the city officials and all the attitudes so held it pushes the limits of comedy such as magical reality might push a drama much as duck is able to draw on imaginative scenes to demonstrate his plight or desires all at the very edge of all of it is humorous nobody is mean,positive
a sadly predictable clichéd story about a woman who was no better than she should have been sadly too the screenplay is by the once great experimental novelist john from an original by french exotic pierre this time marlene is a manipulative cold hearted spanish beauty don lionel raises her from the cigarette factory but she him he warns his tall young friend antonio romero against her but to no a duel ensues for trying to kill the only man she ever cared for so he doesn't he points his pistol at the sky but antonio shoots him but instead of going off to paris with the young victor she goes back to the man who would have died for her with an unexpected bit by edward everett as a spanish plays the part of a spanish woman by moving constantly at the and and then back her head and so forth and she makes faces and has a in the middle of her the photography is strangely crowded no scene can be shot except through a of bare trees no interior scene can be shot without so much busy detail that it's almost impossible to follow people moving across a room no scene of can be shot without a major wardrobe change the carnival scenes are so full of and it's almost like an underwater scene in the sea,negative
this wonderful film has never failed to move me the colour convincing cast and stunning scenery all make big this production unlike the later remake by is more and presented more from the children's own perspective it on certain episodes from e charming story rather than trying to make a somewhat more documentary and all style that above all the superb musical score of the late johnny douglas the story throughout adding extra emotional depth the net result is a truly combination of experiences that present the poignant story of the children br br one uncomfortable factor for the viewer to throughout this film is how things have changed since those times and in many ways for the worse yes maybe many of us no longer have to use outside and travel in horse drawn but what about the quality of life in general consider the foul mouthed celebrities who now grace our tv screens their language is now apparently considered perfectly acceptable consider too the fragile here today gone tomorrow aspects of so many of today's plus all the single mothers whatever happened to that institution called marriage when people accepted each flaws but still remained together loving their children these details add extra when watching this marvellous film br br i hope that as generations pass children will still be able to enjoy this film not to mention certain adults,positive
ok so i saw this movie at this year's sundance and i was sorely it took a good fifteen minutes of footage before there was an edit or a line of dialogue that made any sense and it took another 30 minutes before the ham script gave way to a working plot that wasn't on a close up of ryan smile or contrived after the first 45 minutes however the script into a watch able albeit not completely entertaining or thought provoking the highlights certainly include both and acting being an up and coming star and morse being an extremely well established character actor with a good feel for emotions as a after the screening i was talking a little about the movie to some of my friends when david morse walked right behind me he looks like the guy in the world but he's a solid and probably me by 50 pounds i removed my foot from my mouth and promptly changed the subject,negative
was a college acting class exercise filmed and released as a movie the formulaic and stylized drivel of a horror soap opera for people who don't like horror films but wish to be able to tell that friends that yes they did see a horror movie it even features soap opera music br br do books falling off library shelves scare you do doors you then this flick is for you have you ever been kidnapped yeah most of us have when you were raped was it simply ignored because the rapist was the cool kid what's scary is not this movie but this view of the world br br and then the little twists aren't even original this is a film for people who've never seen a horror film before who don't want to see one now and who want to see another flick about everyone against the weird kid,negative
the back of my dvd describes the plot of el after his capture in the wilderness the legendary creature escapes into the city creating mayhem and panic as they pursue the deadly beast an animal control officer and scientist dr realize that a vigilante with his own suspicious plan is also tracking the killer for a mysterious research facility run by the diabolical dr this horror flick is somewhat amusing if you watch it under the influence of alcohol the script is completely silly the acting is wooden beyond belief and the direction is amateurish two rubber suits are easily the best thing about this movie 3 out of 10 and that's being extremely kind,negative
one type of western i greatly enjoy is when the apparently weak which is reluctant to fight and answer the challenge of the strong finally decides there is no other way there is a great moment in this film when john glenn ford goes into the saloon and decides to stand up to the it is the type of scene that makes the audience applaud in my opinion the violent men is a great western i would rank it among the best it makes great use of the wide screen a spectacular scenery of the mountains the women have a crucial part caroline may is engaged to but you feel that she is only using him as a means of getting out of there and moving east she wants him to sell the ranch no matter what price martha barbara is tired of helping her crippled husband lee edward g robinson but she will do anything to have an always bigger ranch and more power meanwhile she is her husband with his brother brian keith her daughter diane foster is seeing all that happens but feeling to react because she does not want to hurt her father all the small and uses the he learned in the army to go against the anchor ranch like he had warned lee don't make me fight because you won't like my way of fighting,positive
yeah i know his character was supposed to be a drunk and he may have been just acting goofy but something tells this critic that mr really was drinking a lot and was during his scenes in the film basically everything he says is and often or maybe it was just the poor productions values hard to say br br anyway the race for the is a film that just doesn't work that's a shame too since the film has a terrific opening and a generally interesting plot the production values are just too low and the action just too sparse for this new zealand adventure to deliver the goods the story deals with a us war plane which is filled with gold money and which crashes into a lake in new zealand during wwii the plane remains lost for about forty years or so until it somehow and a drunk literally stumbles onto it at first he up all the purple heart and tries to sell them in town actually getting 75 for them little does he know that once he sells them the local gets on the phone and starts trying to track down info about the plane before you can blink all of the attention brings a wealthy and his henchmen into town and they quickly try to force the old guy to give up the location of the plane since they know there is much more on it than just the old business partner and his daughter warren then race out to try and claim the fortune before the bad guys can get to it the resulting action just isn't as fun as you'd hope it would be br br the acting is rather awful save for george tries to do some kind of i guess accent but it is hardly convincing ann warren isn't too bad but ken is really bad he's basically doing his best impression of michael on his worst day and that's saying something hopefully he made enough money on this film to fix his front teeth which looked a bit crooked i don't recall if he'd had them by the time he was in the rest of the cast are pretty probably mostly locals who never did much else i guess the biggest problems for me were the lack of action for much of the film and the lack of danger the villains are just too nice and goofy to be taken seriously and honestly there are no in the film that look like the ones on the dvd cover and none of the in the film have teeth painted on them either br br the film does have its strengths though the beginning which starts off as a and then becomes part of the story was a nice touch brian score sounds a little too much like the one in mad max 2 but he included a nice little march they play for in some scenes sounds just like the one in the great escape there are some neat helicopter stunts and a great boat chase that apparently killed three stunt men during filming the scenery despite the grainy look of the picture is still quite beautiful the thing you'll remember most is the drunken antics of donald though he was almost enough to save this film almost 4 of 10 stars br br the,negative
i have to this by saying that i love watching bad movies that are entertaining this movie delivers 100 it is hands down the worst movie i have ever seen it is full of crappy stock footage of random stuff in a city people walking traffic the etc that doesn't tie into anything then there are the overly long scenes ' these involve lots of and frequent of on each other's bodies these are in no way erotic and are the closest thing to horror you will find in this movie this is especially true for the shower scene where two of the so called girls who couldn't be a day over 40 are each other with blood but there is also a crew member blood in the from the outside while one of the girls keeps smiling at him no one had to any lines for this movie if they aren't clearly reading cards then they have a magazine in front of them they keep at while they struggle through awkward dialogue then there's mr he throws ed name around like he can somehow compare but he is far far from anything of that quality he walks around a cemetery about random things that went wrong in the movie which really helps the complete lack of flow the movie already had going on we couldn't stop laughing during this movie except during the sex scenes where we were out and occasionally horrified br br i give this movie a 1 10 for going so far above and beyond all my expectations for a horrible movie,negative
is a very apt title for this as you watch it you will feel your life being from you the cliché in horrors is about people doing exactly what they shouldn't going down into the basement or going up into the attic then the trouble ensues take then don't watch this film show the brains that victims in horror movies never do stay clear do not enter and if you need anymore this film is as bad as the worst uwe boll film i mean the house of the dead bad i have often thought about entering a review of a film on i m d b and after watching some based on the comments i discovered i guess everyone's to his her opinion please trust me on mine,negative
i have not seen it since 1998 and yet i still can't get it out of my head or stop people to find it so that shows what an impression it made br br just a wonderful story br br i just hope to see the at least once in person br br i didn't know much about mr before this movie as i hadn't seen any of his previous works but his subtle acting in this impressed me and i think his portrayal of on just shows more of the same he knows enough to let the character shine through instead of the actor shining through which makes him just that much better of an actor br br i can't remember enough about the poor accents to comment but i must say i have always enjoyed barbara in all of her roles as well and i thought she also did a phenomenal job in this movie,positive
a group of people goes deep into the jungle for various reasons and finally find a lost city where apparently king are and a race of super now you know you're in trouble when you put fine actors like and in one movie that stars a talking gorilla and that is just the beginning okay what else br br for an action adventure movie the film is well lacking just that the first hour of the movie they aren't even in the jungle just trying to get there with subplot after subplot something about a local military regime whatever and when they finally do it's just no fun anymore br br the effects of the movie are only so and so and really bad compared to the earlier jurassic park movie br br now the ending the father not caring for the death of his son but just interested in the uh huh only in the movies folks only in the movies br br a complete waste of talent this jurassic park er adaptation 2 10,negative
this movie has been a favorite of mine and is with the christmas holidays for me for two reasons 1 growing up in the 1960s everything was space related from advertising to television programs and even santa claus found himself in during that era and 2 i saw this movie during a christmas shopping trip when i was ten years old and it brought back fond memories of my favorite tv shows when i was even younger and therefore i am a tad biased when it comes to this movie for personal reasons br br that said as a long time student of film this is mainly a movie for fans of anderson and barry gray oh that gorgeous score whereas the casual movie watcher will be put off by the future vision from the past dig those wild cars commercial aircraft clothes etc and the so called plot twist which will cause some to however if you can look past the post 2001 a space odyssey desire to make a science fiction film with a far out story line and if you enjoy imaginative special effects then you will enjoy this gem from an era when man had just walked on the moon and people were still looking up at the stars in wonder and hope for the future rather than looking down at the banal of the actual 21st century,positive
leonard and frances de la tour carry this film not without a struggle as the script was obviously together out of old episodes when it came out this must have been a real disappointment as it's also done on a bus ticket budget attempts to move it out of the house which is a bad job all round there with a fantasy sequences and a boxing match in the local gym simply don't work most of these are just character light for a not particularly good gag that said the interplay of and de la tour and anybody else with him is mostly hilarious they even manage to make a gag work but you can see the struggle with a literally uninspired script that changes plot half way through don has very little to do except and due to the random script christopher changes character at least twice and in the end as he often did in the tv series though you might not remember read the scripts eric lets you down with a ending were they that cynical or just too desperate to be in the film business and de la tour are always funny but as a film it's a terrible to a remembered tv series rip,negative
puppet master only with scary parts was the most recent korean horror flick i had the pleasure of watching with the title of in asia this movie struck me immediately when i saw it reviewed online with images that made me think of puppet master play and other toy doll based horror flicks in the past but for some reason i didn't think boy this will be tacky i imagined it would be creepy and fun horror done well almost br br the movie starts slowly but i like that so it was fine the score almost like i found with was beautiful and very much reminded me of classic horror scores of the past i wont give much away but the story was strong in this one and i would highly recommend it to any fan of asian horror it isn't extreme it isn't to be taken with seriousness but it is really good,positive
are you crazy or what this movie has talent who are you to criticize a movie that was made by famous directors and producers i mean you must be watching some crappy version because if you had a proper version you wouldn't think its some low resolution game graphics br br this movie is for people who enjoy cinema the other side to what asian people enjoy watching you are such a cinema is totally different to that of hollywood hk cinema is in a class of its own br br so if you don't enjoy watching movies from producers don't go and on about how its a waste of time to watch just let other people enjoy the movie br br and personally i've seen this movie and i love its story and the way it was made,positive

most of us kids growing up in the 40's or 50's were western buffs but this was one that had escaped me until seeing on the movies for men channel today i loved the film's story cinematography as well as the superb casting of ben johnson and harry carey jr in the lead roles along with the ever ward bond apparently this movie was the inspiration for the later television series which featured bond once again as the boss of the trains heading west johnson steals the film with his horse riding skills and it's nice to see an actor doing his own stunts like ben does in this movie other include the lovely as denver and an early non speaking role for james who later became famous for his matt dillon role in ' if you like films of this genre you can't fail to like this one,positive
possible spoiler alert though there's not much to spoil about this film i saw project a part ii not having seen the first movie i don't think i missed much project a part two is not only the worst jackie chan film i've seen to date yes worse than fantasy mission this film is one of the most unwatchable films the world has ever seen it's right up there with plan 9 from outer on the sleep inducing scale the plot is twisted up and like a 50 foot ball of yarn the been playing with and finally left for dead the if you could call it that seems to have been written by an annoying high school who despite how many people tell him he's not funny is determined to get his lame humor out no matter how painful a movie is made and this movie is painfully bad the plot involves jackie chan as a navy officer by the police force to round up all known he rounds them up in the first half hour of the movie and i for a quick ending which i didn't get why the movie bothers to progress from this point i haven't a clue the movie drags on and on and on with no purpose no plot and attempts at humor that fail so miserably they make top look like a comedic genius the kung fu in this movie is lame and forgettable there's better kung fu in that movie about the 3 ninja kids project a part ii is neither an action movie nor a kung fu movie it is however a complete waste of the talents of jackie chan and maggie cheung who have made films worlds superior to this as jackie chan repeatedly escapes certain death i enter blair mode asking and wishing is he going to die now so the movie can end an example of how ludicrous this movie is jackie chan is to another man a gang of pirates that look nothing like pirates throw at jackie does jackie grab one of the and break the chain on the no you see that would spoil the gag of him being to another person if you have a friend who laughs at everything i encourage you to watch this movie with him or her and watch as even they won't get a chuckle out of this film if you're an this movie is sure to put you to sleep do not operate heavy while watching plan a part ii possible side effects include headache strain and death by boredom 0 9 stars,negative
just as the whole cast and crew knows f all about film making br br this film concerns the adventures and of a modern day cockney vampire assassin and an age old with her seemingly jaded vampire lover that plot in itself of clichés and promises of boredom when on as small a scale a film as this and that's exactly what you get br br first off let me say that i by no means dismiss films because they are b movies in fact some of my favourite films are b movies such as jesus christ vampire hunter but this one misses the mark by a mile br br anyone with any knowledge of small budget films will know that the acting is rarely gripping and emotional but razor blade smile creates a whole new dimension of it up on screen some of the so called acting is just bad with characters cheesy one liners that fall flat and expressing about as much emotion and conviction as the terminator after a couple of horse br br a vast portion of the film is also taken up by the characters the protagonist in particular unnecessarily their mouths showing off their ridiculously large vampire teeth and very it literally must happen in almost every scene at least once and quickly became annoying and pointless as if that many looks of slack supposedly scary vampire faces were used to merely fill a little bit of time and pad out the rest of this turd of a film br br contrary to what some of the other reviewers believe on here i feel this film the director in particular is really trying to take this film seriously in many parts the sheer number of overly dramatic action shots and extreme close ups seems to indicate to me that the director really wanted people to feel this film and make it legitimate to its genre and not spoof it and he fails miserably the attempts at supposedly sex scenes come out as comic and silly and the action sequences are sometimes just plain stupid br br also the ending of this film was one of the weakest and most pathetic conclusions i have seen to a film b movie or not when films such as this force you to sit through hours of themselves only to be rewarded with a oh it was all a game ending it is actually sickening it the conclusion to the plot feels like an of the director that he figured out on the last day of shooting because they had run to the end of their budget br br but i have not rated this film as one star despite the overwhelming and this is because of the only plus point i can really give this film intentionally or not it was funny i am fairly sure the parts i found humorous were not intended to be and i found most of the efforts at genuine gags to be but when watched with friends it is a good film to take the mickey out of,negative
the only way to truly understand and relate to the characters in this movie is to have experienced the situations your self to a lot of people this movie is almost mock a sort of of one weekend in our lives i have done about 85 percent of the things in this movie and witnessed the other 15 percent usually all in the same weekend for me and others i know it is nice to have this movie to look back on because other than a few pictures of people we sort of remember and nights that are and this movie is our generations studio a piece to add to our books to look back on and smile personally i'm glad those days are past but it is great to watch this movie and say i remember when thank you justin for making this mock biography of one weekend in my life,positive
i came across this film by accident and wish i hadn't br br why make a sexually rude sequel and some gore when a man is of a well know children's movie br br do not take young kids to see this the title you it has nothing to do with the original snow white except for stealing it's characters better still don't bother going yourself it's not worth it br br i could not watch it all the poor in comparison to disney cartoon graphics and no plot except on how to totally mess up a classic movie made me want to give up and leave,negative
i loved this well i loved the romance part with and the girl rachel her name i honestly was only interested in those too i loved them in the movie i want to see more movies like that but please no more sad endings where they cant be it made me cry but the romance between them the plot the trauma everything was great i just was more into and rachel ha ha everything about this movie was thrilling the kind to keep you glued to your seat because i sure was honestly my only personal want would be more focused between the couple and rachel and at least a decent ending i hated the ending a better one could have been more thought out not the fact of forcing to his death and rachel having a son the ending would have killed the movie,positive
over the last few months i have seen a lot of reviews for the italian job many of them negative the of almost all of these criticisms is that for all its and high budget technology the film doesn't have much substance where it counts look people it's just a fun movie this is the type of picture where you're supposed to sit back relax and just enjoy the steady moving pace of the film like eleven 2001 you can concentrate on the characters and the plot at the same time without having to do much thinking lucky for some of us granted ocean is a better movie but who cares the plot may have some holes there's a huge one about 3 4 of the way through the action may not be as gratuitous as the trailers made it out to be and some of the dialogue may seem pointless and cheesy but again who really cares cool characters mini big explosions what more do you want i think it's time to drop the fake roger ebert meets gene act and enjoy yourself for once oh and another thing whatever you do don't compare it to the original because to what f gary gray has told the press a million times this is not a remake my advice if you're interested in picking your way through a good fun flick don't even bother seeing the italian job but if you don't have a severe complex and or want to see ed norton get by a bunch of go ahead the bottom line my fellow is up and have fun,positive
a somewhat typical bit of filmmaking from this era obviously it was first conceived into this world for the stage but nonetheless a very good film from beginning to end peter o'toole and york get to do their stage performance act for the silver screen and both do it effectively there is very little in the way of story and anyone not familiar with this type of off beat character study may be a little put off by it all in all though a good film in which peter o'toole and york get to,positive
wow i was really disappointed i wasn't really planning on seeing this movie in the theater and i wish i stuck to that plan it really should be a made for tv movie i was kind of excited to see it as i'm a big fan of but this movie didn't do her justice i'm a little disappointed with the acting all around what a horrible cover up of it bothered me every time i saw her shoulder br br there was no flow to the movie it was very hard to get into it one scene we get angry hyped up we want blood the anticipation rises just then the director takes us to another scene to show the love between annie and bobby it would have been more enjoyable to follow if it was broken up into three sunday paper comic strip br br there was also little logic behind the characters chosen to play some parts the gangster leaders were guys not very believable matt dillon head of a mobster organization come on give me a break there was just no there br br the soundtrack wow i think this is one of the worst musical scores i've ever heard what awful guitar my god the sound of my teeth was more pleasing to my friends i'm sure br br anyhow there is one positive comment i'd like to make about the movie the settings were nicely done i liked the colours a good job conveying that time period,negative
not too long ago i bought a cheap vhs tape entitled just rambling along supposedly featuring laurel and hardy being somewhat familiar with their and not this title i made the decision to part with a whole dollar and buy it upon playing it i identified the film as hop to it of course mr laurel was nowhere in the cast making the of this product criminally even worse the quality is terrible it looks like it was from an film source it did have a somewhat appropriate musical score actually in all seriousness the tape is worth a buck if you just want to get an idea of what the movie is like in my opinion it is a decent but short imdb should add just rambling along as an alternate title for this film which incidentally was the name of a stan laurel film,negative
the actors cannot act all was plagued with bad accents and loss of character never moves his lips or changes his facial expression ever br br the story is nothing new at all some kid from the street gets involved in a professional world of dance and it turns his life around that coupled with the whole incident involving the little kid is taken straight from you got served and save the last dance i'm not saying that those movies were any good either but that is to say that this movie brought nothing new to the table br br and the dancing there were only 3 dance sequences in the entire movie and 2 of them were taken straight from the commercial perhaps i'm being overly critical because i am a dancer but maybe thats what needs to be heard is not by any means a b boy his little solo in the parking lot had little style technique or any wow factor all of which are part of a street all of the jazz and ballet in the movie had nothing to offer except bad technique and a few acceptable but nothing more the finale left me thinking ok now they're gonna get serious all the way through the end when i realized it never was going to happen br br i'll admit that im sure it is difficult to make a good dance movie but step up is no exception to the rule you got served with the exception of its inconsistencies with street dance culture at least had the dance aspect save the last dance was garbage and so was just about any musical from the past 10 years although i was impressed with look to center stage for ballet look to beat street for hip hop,negative
as a huge fan of the original operation force i thought i'd pick this film up i figured it couldn't be too bad however here's a list of things i from watching operation force 4 deep fault br br the force despite being the elite in american armed forces are mostly mildly overweight men in their late 30s and early 40s br br the force despite being the elite in american armed forces carry standard police issue or on their most important missions br br the force despite being the elite in american armed forces haven't that during stealth missions wearing bright red and running around in open spaces aren't exactly going to keep you out of sight br br when you drop a cocktail into a tank it explodes like a br br when you get hit by tank fire you can run away although the smoke caused may present minor difficulties for breathing br br you can die from one standard gun shot but you can also live despite being hit multiple times by a sniper rifle and a few times by an br br in hand to hand combat members of the force despite being the elite in american armed forces are regularly by br br if bad guys are approaching you while on a slow moving train there's nothing to worry about between the 4 of them they can't manage to figure out how to get an automatic weapon to fire automatically let alone hit anyone from 5 16 feet with at least 50 attempts between them br br if you're short on actors just them the bad guy from operation force 1 plays a good guy called mac in operation force 4 and the guy who played mac in operation force 3 now plays skip lang a different good guy br br it's not ok for the force to shoot an terrorist even if he's attempting to his weapon to kill you br br explode on impact with the ground when thrown by members of the force when thrown by non force they explode at exactly the point where the force members have thrown the back at the bad guys br br tanks can drive faster than standard br br and personal use the exact same that the un used in operation force 1 br br when a arrives a bad guy in that cannot see you if you lie face down br br shooting someone multiple times in the chest will cause minor damage stabbing that person in the will kill them inside 5 seconds br br the force steal cars from old people to get around when in foreign countries because the us military do not provide them with any means of transport this may also explain why they caught public transport br br as you can see this is not really the finest moment in film making but it's good for a laugh,negative
this is one of my favorite horror films of all time and i used to think it never really got its due that is until i read the glowing reviews here it seems many feel the same as i did when i first saw it br br it's a damn creepy film and i've spent most of my life watching creepy films i've always found dolls and such damn creepy check out the dolls in beyond the door and of course the great trilogy of terror and what about the magnificent twilight zone episode living doll hell dolls are creepy and tourist trap has some moments that will make your hair stand on the back of your neck all aided by an excellent soundtrack that just makes performance even more heart br br i remember seeing the trailer to this film on late night tv and thing wow i gotta see that it was memorable and it's one of the only trailers i remember seeing as a kid that me out took me years to see it but it was a treat br br stephen king also mentions this film in his macabre book and gives it a glowing recommendation pretty good company br br this film will always be high on my list of must sees it's a real solid addition to the genre of the time and deserves place alongside the best of the 70s,positive
hey i know angel isn't the kind of show that gives people a happy ending and i know they couldn't just make everything perfect but i couldn't believe the ending to angel i absolutely love the show it's possibly the best show ever however i really hated this ending as well as the whole way the 2nd half of angel season 5 went similar to buffy season 7 my favorite characters deaths were pretty much pointless and did nothing for the plot was one of the best characters on the show and once she and angel were finally going to get together she turned all evil and into a demon i wanted so badly to have her back don't get me wrong the episode where comes back is fantastic but i was still really mad she was gone then on earth was up with fred dying right after she finally got with wesley there was no sacrifice it was pointless it did nothing whatsoever for the plot and blue haired demon girl is an awful useless character they spent way too much of the end centered around her another big problem is they didn't connect the elements well enough i know those in that black thorn wanted to bring about the apocalypse but there wasn't even a date set for when it was supposed to happen the apocalypse should have been carried out and discovered throughout the entire season rather than just mentioning there are some evil an hour before the season ends one of the biggest problems is every character who the audience cares about is either dead or has nothing to live for my three favorite characters died and angel spike and who i'm not sure even survives have no office aren't even back to their helping the helpless are in the middle of a huge battle and have lost everyone they care about angel and spike are never redeemed they lose the girl they care about and just about everyone's dead and they still have to fight this weird evil army i get the whole you never stop fighting but it was stupid to end it right in the middle couldn't there have been some redemption with knowledge that there would always be many more battles to come i don't get why this episode is so highly rated because i think the buffy ending was 10 times better and i wasn't even a giant fan of that one why did they have to slip at the end season 3 and 4 and 1st half of five were so amazing then they went and messed up the show,negative
i remember seeing this film in the mid 80's thought it a well paced and well acted piece i now work quite often in berkeley square and the had to get a copy of dvd to remind myself how little the area has changed although my office is it just 30 seconds away from the bank even jack car is still there selling and rolls br br it's look like the dvd is due a region 2 release soon the region 1 copy i is very poor quality let's hope they've it up br br only the slightly dodgy escape sequence from the court what would otherwise be a great film but i guess is in line with the caper tag the film goes with,positive
so i rented this movie hoping to learn about the republic of and the of its independence from rule i was excited to become familiar with the figures involved in its history mainly and i wanted to see how the new government attempted to bring together the various groups colonial rule the political motives behind each one the reasons behind decision to give the its independence and also how the united states and the former were involved sadly all of my questions went largely unanswered my belief is that this movie was made by people who through a passing with the story of the fight for freedom saw a story filled with drama and emotion and decided to exploit it they then to try and stuff all the dramatic points into a storyline briefly filled them out with dialogue went to the set and shot it i could be wrong but if so it's all the because then the makers must have simply become too tied up in getting everything in and ended up over all details in an effort to create an history whatever the reason the fact is that the movie could be a of sentence long statements and facts on the screen the film goes through each major and tells the viewer point blank the main idea of what's going on completely over the actual details in favor of getting across the big things for instance there is the scene when is captured by the increasingly rebellious army controlled by in the situation the soldiers have three possible one that with one that and one that stands in the middle and yet orders there are three soldiers that speak in the scene lines that show their points of view then to avoid dealing with the actual tensions that these bring up the simply inserted some random shooting more army guys show up and they just end up beating everyone up this is the extent of the of the movie most of the time each character simply states their basic motives the other characters respond with theirs and that's that there's little telling through actions even the things they say are direct the point of it's hard to believe that the people represented actually acted like that also in the trend of this things like political tension between is reduced to simple of the fact we never learn what these are what they're fighting for their power basically anything except that they exist the characters likewise are one dimensional and flat unfortunately i don't know whether was actually a freedom fighter devoted to ideals of but after an hour or so of the movie i certainly didn't trust it to tell me so the like many developing countries has a complicated and important history especially in the period leading up to and after independence but the telling of these will not be useful unless there is recognition of the of the situations fails to give proper attention to these details and ends up telling the viewer little except the most general of,negative
because that's what hell ride pretty much is larry bishop and tarantino on the money with the promise to deliver a movie sometime down the line i'm all for fake and booze as much as the next guy but did we really need the movie really there's nothing worse than the second hand of an old trend and i'm not even talking about 70's cinema because hell ride has none of the raw and feel of the era it to pay homage to no this is slick and glossy mtv hollywood through and through the old trend i'm talking about is the self pseudo hip quirky cinematic world where tarantino meets guy ritchie and robert rodriguez all three guys were at least talented and found success for a reason hell ride is just a second hand copy and uninspired polished to the max when it should be raw the aspect coming off forced and silly br br there's no reason for example why such a simple and utterly inane story has to be told in convoluted back and forth in time fashion it's just a post tarantino there's also no reason why the dialogues have to be so mind numbingly pointless people their while saying nothing at least when travolta was talking about in pulp fiction it felt fresh dialogues here amount to little more than pseudo macho there's also no reason why a grating guitar has to over the entire movie perhaps the lowest hell ride hits is when it tries to be quasi existential there's a hilarious dream illusion scene in the desert where bishop eats and sees colours i was half expecting an old indian to come out and offer of wisdom br br the only saving grace of this abysmal turd is the and jones' monologue about his wings and maybe some of the desert exterior shots lots of and hot scantily clad babes now that's something i can get behind but a movie they don't make everything else is just an empty shell an imitation of other infinitely more talented,negative
a slick production which holds the interest from the very first scene where max is choosing a ring in a shop much of what follows reminds us of shakespeare's a mid summer dream in which and fall in love with each other's girl friends here max and both prone to love at first sight get mixed up with lisa and alice and alice things when she calls herself lisa on top of the merry mix up max is inclined to get involved in incidents which bring back memories of two years ago and because max has a lot of these dreamy episodes we are subjected to one flashback after another too many in my opinion because at first viewing of the film i wasn't quite sure if i was in the present or the past there is much running down corridors through into etc i accept all that in a fast paced film but do we have to have so many people with each other after four it to have any impact if you'll excuse the pun high marks for art design the apartment itself is really beautiful with its but i do ask myself how a couple of young women can afford such luxury in paris saving a person intent on suicide from jumping out of a window is always exciting and it is in this film too when max almost at the same time however a kiss or two soon makes him feel better if you can manage to find your way through all the flashbacks you'll finally find yourself at the airport where devoted sister gives him a most kiss it can be said it is she who the complications of love like in a mid summer dream,positive

though some would prefer to comment on the value of bond movies in the connection of learning and while most of the that tends to limit bond to a following has been exploited beyond all reasonable there are several redeeming that the credibility of sean connery in this role that had seen its counterpart adaptation in part of a previous performance by jessica in driving miss daisy while connery had been less visible in the latter his woman qualities had maybe not cast a on the face of as it would in this latest rendition which to most involved approached the theme with kind albeit while the general flavor had been altered great for those who interest others while to be who you're not,negative

i too saw this film at a film festival but unlike the previous poster i found it both interesting and original in a sea of terrible features shorts are often twice as bad do to small budgets and poor acting a w o l however is a taut little thriller that back to the outer limits the performances are solid not that one would expect otherwise from morse or and the directing is sharp and on the money i personally find it difficult to the previous comments with the film i saw a w o l is quite written by black who as is usually the case plays with the genre both paying homage to the stories pulp sensibilities while simultaneously at the audience and never taking itself too seriously all in all a w o l proves to be an extremely well executed and fun film,positive

nice combination of the giant monster and samurai genres the giant monster god of the mountain is an and figure that comes across very much like the old testament god destruction and punishment on those who his holy ground but it's interesting to note that what finally him is not the suffering of the people but a pointed and personal insult it's beautifully photographed with solid acting great and a wonderful score by the great is not a 400 foot monster like godzilla he's 2 1 2 times normal size so the evil samurai he into the ground get a good look into his eyes as he bears down on their and it to not much in terms of extras but it's nice to see this forgotten minor classic rescued and restored to the digital format,positive

for those who expect documentaries to be objective creatures let me give you a little lesson in american film making br br documentaries rely heavily on casting you pick and choose characters you think will enhance the drama and entertainment value of your film br br after you have shot a ton of footage you it together to make a film with ups and downs turning points etc if you have trouble with existing footage you either shoot some more that makes sense find some stock footage or be clever with your narration br br the that the filmmakers used footage of locales not part of the movie next to beautiful does not detract from the value of the film as a dramatic piece and the particular image is one that enough to justify its not quite truthful inclusion at any rate you use the footage you can so they didn't happen to have police violence footage for that particular neighborhood does this mean not include it and just talk about it or maybe put in some cartoon animation so the audience isn't um no br br as for the hopeful ending why not yes americans made it yes americans are optimistic but why end on a down note just because it's set in a foreign country and foreign films by and large end on a down note let portray the dismal of life br br let us americans think there may be a happy ending in the future there just may be one,positive
it seems a lot of europeans and americans see indian movies for the wrong reason i see some people are complaining that this movie did not have any dance sequence a class apart from their hindi counterparts movies tend to be more realistic is one of the best young directors in india being widely known for his choice of subjects for the movies and the strength of his scripts is a perfect example a faithful adaptation of the novel dealing with the pursuit of sexual pleasure of a widow the director gives a new dimension to the much acclaimed and controversial work,positive

billy wilder continues his strong run of films during the 1950s with a biopic of charles the young american pilot who became the first man to fly solo across the atlantic in jimmy stewart plays and while he might be a bit too old for the part he still brings the sincere warmth and confidence needed as well as his trademark down to earth goodness that makes him an iconic film star wilder directs the background story with humor and drama to give us a clear description of what was up against when he decided to take this challenge it certainly isn't his nor stewart's best work but it is a gem of a movie it lifts your spirits with the plane and makes you proud to be an american overall it is just plain good,positive
the texas revolution of to including the periods and immediately following is depicted in this mediocre 3 hour made for television film whose only redeeming value is bringing light and paying homage to stephen f austin the so called father of texas whose life story had long been overshadowed by that of the legendary sam the rest of the film is simply the usual santa anna is a storyline and with a weak attempt to show the mexican perspective with a fictional hispanic character displaying stereotypical latin combined with short low budget battle scenes such as the and san this film is recommended only for real history buffs who who do not come from mexico to its credit the mexican uniforms look accurate and the romantic subplot another love triangle doesn't take up too much screen time overall this movie depicts the violent movement by racial minority to be a positive and just revolution against mexican as by the general antonio lopez de santa anna the so called of the west,negative
perhaps i'm being too generous when i give this film two and a half stars out of five but there was an occasional moment however as an american werewolf movie this one is a missed chance there are no real plot connections to the superior original to speak of but the story is similar in some ways to london br br possible spoiler warning american kids go to foreign country one falls in love with a beautiful girl another one of the kids gets slaughtered by a werewolf in the same night that one gets bitten and despite his undead friend's by the light of the full moon he fur and br br but there are some differences in the story for one the girl is one of the werewolves second there are three american kids and third there's some weird werewolf cult intent on taking over the world as crazy as it sounds that last one wasn't a joke spoiler ends br br the films suffers from many things first the weak acting drags it down immensely tom scott's performance is at best and he and julie who plays his love interest don't seem to have any chemistry together at all second a weak script that seems to be all over the place many elements of suspense and dark comedy that made the original one great are missing in this one and whoever said that eating out the heart of the werewolf that bit you will change you back human last i heard this wasn't part of werewolf at all third terrible special effects the werewolf effects are done with computer animation which works for things such as dinosaurs ghosts and space ships but seems choppy fake and artificial when used for creatures like werewolves br br however there were a few things that saved this one from total there's one hilarious scene in a paris when andy scott is having coffee with he drops a bunch of on the table and tries to pass them off as chewing by chewing and blowing a bubble also the soundtrack a very cool mix of alternative rock bands like bush and although none of the songs have the word moon in their title like the original movie the soundtrack is great and another funny scene when a rotting corpse played by julie attempts to and her pops out had me laughing out loud br br but as a whole this film seems to lack the wit and suspense of the original and the overly contrived ending doesn't help it out much either br br 1 2 two and a half out of five stars average,negative

the photography is accomplished the acting is quite good but in virtually every other department the greek is a dreary bore taking its inspiration from the real life love affair of jackie kennedy and the film is a glossy but absolutely empty soap opera of the kind that can be found on tv all day long viewers who embrace the whole celebrity magazine culture photographs and stories about the rich and famous will undoubtedly find much to their here but those who prefer films with a bit more substance and craft and will find the minute running time a butt numbing br br american president james cassidy james and his beautiful wife liz are in on official business a ridiculously wealthy greek theo anthony quinn catches sight of liz at a party at his elegant despite the fact that both of them are married to someone else there is an immediate attraction between them later at a private party aboard his makes his desires known to liz some while later president cassidy is whilst out on a beach liz is shocked and by his death but it isn't long before she seeks comfort in the arms of her greek lover eventually the two of them are married and their love affair becomes a favourite talking point for the world's magazines and br br it is somewhat amusing to note the with which the producers of this film denied that it was a of the kennedy story they wanted the film to be seen as an original story in fiction but anyone with a brain can see from where the movie is drawing its inspiration even himself knew the greek to his love life getting the hollywood treatment if are to be believed he actually had a hand in anthony quinn for the role j lee thompson isn't really the right sort of director for this type of movie – he's better suited to action fodder like the guns of and ice cold in alex – but he the proceedings with an uninspired professional quinn is very watchable as looks lovely as the object of his desires uses his smile and a of integrity to make for a believable politician their performances are good on the surface but there's little for the actors to do on any deeper level similarly tony photography gives the film an elegant surface sheen as it moves from one exotic locale to the next but the of proves that there's nothing behind the film's glossy exterior,negative
it might be a stretch saying this as a die hard fan but the material both written and as performed in it's bad for ya is some of the best late era material yet at 70 back from the level of despair and some of the stumbles in the act itself from life is worth losing to a special that is firmly structured but loose and playful or as much as the old f can get and is continuously funny and funny as in reminiscent of what some of us had going on when watching back in town or the first time the material even if sounding at times a of the previously done i e the whole bit on children in school and camp like the children segment in is always fresh and with such a of truth to everything that it the mind while here goes the funny bone br br going from the topic of death how long to wait to scratch off a name from the book six weeks unless if on the computer the of communication looking down from heaven spots of god naturally kids and just gestures involving hats in religion and if people really have rights make up the bulk of the special centered around the premise that what's bad for you plain and simple is total complete which as we also learn or if you've really learned it you're like the kid waiting at the street corner for a week following dropped off not quite randomly by the parent holds the country together isn't necessarily angry though even if disdain seems to out at most turns even just to observe how horrifying children's teeth coming in look it's with the feeling that everything is not going to be fine br br what it comes down to is this is to dirty witty stand up comedy what is to everywhere which is a small spark of hope via crystal clear wisdom in a world where it's pretty damn hard to get any at the least we get classic outrageous lines and bits from the man's 13th or is it comedy special including as far as an raising observation on people who play music during a birth,positive
this movie is over hyped i am sad to say that i manage to watch the first 15 minutes of this movie and anything beyond that i will have to force myself real hard to sit down and watch the rest of the movie it's totally stupid and very fake the robot in the movie looks like a man wearing those steel suit and the acting is really bad especially the one playing the character alien he is totally annoying don't waste your money watching this sequel to the popular gen x cops i'd rather sleep or spend my money on some other things rather than watching this movie 1 out of 10 if possible i'd give 0,negative
despite having an absolutely horrid script more about that later this film is still vaguely watchable just because it stars two excellent actors barbara stanwyck and henry fonda aside from one or two real i'd probably watch just about anything with them in the film as i am a huge fan of hollywood's golden age of the 1930s and 40s however no matter how much i love their films i just can't recommend this film br br the movie begins with fonda and stanwyck on vacation at some resort the two haven't yet met but the film begins and with a scene in which fonda horribly while it was done so and made my teeth but i stuck it out especially when fonda fell into a snow bank and this stopped the in perhaps i should have just turned it off then fonda is knocked out in the fall and barbara goes for help back at the he seems okay but fortunately she is also a doctor and has him x and him back to health he in turn becomes with her and to her despite hardly knowing each other they marry and so far the film seems like a sweet but very slight romantic comedy br br once home however all isn't as she jumps right back into her job as a family doctor and he begins signs that he is a controlling and potentially dangerous man due to his jealousy the film plays it all for laughs but frankly were really creepy on her and her male patients attacking or threatening any man she treats a patient who already has a back injury and into a surprise party and that everyone there men and women are out to steal away his wife he comes off as a combination of a and paranoid but it's all supposed to be for laughs considering that he seems like a dangerous nut you would think that stanwyck would file for an along with a order but oddly she gets mad but just can't stay mad at fonda because he's so i can't think of the right word is all that comes to mind later out of the blue multi millionaire fonda gets a job working the counter at a department store then through magical thinking he and seem to assume his and violent jealousy is all a thing of the past so a job apparently anger and when this job falls through the film ends with fonda buying his own hospital giving barbara a job there and they live happily ever after they don't go any further with the story but i assume based on character that he then spent most of his time as hospital beating up all the male patients br br the first portion at the and the next did not fit well together nor did the final inspired section where the rich boy made good in the business world they were like three separate plots but despite this the most serious problem with the film was its seeming to excuse away domestic violence and jealousy what a creepy little film thank goodness neither fonda nor stanwyck are known for this film but for all their other lovely films,negative

when you read the comment on this film that it's smart and funny political comedy based on true events the only true word here is that it's a comedy if you're told it's movie about russian politics it's not there's probably only 2 in the movie from what really happened in russia during that election campaign in reality of the 1996 it was thousand times more interesting to follow the situation and that was a real funky election campaign well there were from the us working in the staff but their role was just minimal the whole campaign was totally different from what is shown in the movie it would be much funnier showing all the people riding across the country with paper boxes full of cash and the celebrities giving the shows to support all over the place at least that would be true i give it three only because of the respect to jeff goldblum and and about the machine guns on the streets of i was living in the place that had the highest amount of hard crime in russia in the middle of 90 s and never seen a man with the gun on the street,negative
to me bollywood movies are not generally up to much though they are still quite desired and bollywood is a big file maker as they have their own fans br br the only motive that made me watch the movie was to see to what extent an american actress could change or affect the logic that indian movie were based on not only did not it change the movie story also this caused some ridiculous series of events br br i mean it is quite common to see of illogical things through indian movies as they have their own world in their movies but once you see such incidents happen to an american it makes you laugh for god's sake can you believe a famous american actress is stuck in desperate situation and feel can you imagine an american actress falls in loves with a dance whose fiancée already fell in love with boy friend and they met each other at the same time there were lot of similar things to mention the less said the better br br perhaps i was wrong as i expected too much from indian movies,negative
every boy eventually learns the lesson that just because a girl is good looking it doesn't mean she's good well tell you at age 19 lesson learned it's hard to tell what's worse kathy acting skills or her ultra high pitched voice the one that sounds like a mouse on scratching its tiny little down a with an incomprehensible plot set in outer space with that want kathy bones for some obscure reason this movie is just wrong on so many levels if there were ever a candidate for a mystery science theater 3000 revival this would be it,negative
i loved the first 15 minutes and i loved some of the dialogue in the which proved to be the best showcase for the director's ahead of its time method acting technique but this movie ultimately disappoints even when viewed purely as a metaphor of the dynamics that were and are prevalent in the relationship between the us government and its more citizens it still lacks punch and believability and ultimately left me looking at my watch hoping the obvious ending would happen already br br and for the record despite rampant rumors to the contrary this movie has never been banned in the us i can't comment on the rumors of uk censorship but i'm suspicious hollywood refused to it after its initial film festival showing and i am more than willing to believe the government had some influence on this decision however the fact that it never appeared on american television is merely a reflection of this rather careful and advertising driven fashion of doing business as for the present you can have your very own copy of the dvd delivered to your door via amazon in a few days,negative

genius or utter madness that depends on your interpretation of this film i to it on the level of a self aware cop movie parody and i sincerely hope that was the intention as i don't see anyone taking it seriously d paul rudd for one seems to be chewing up the scenery and really getting into the spirit of things is this film supposed to mark a departure for rudd from his core background in the comedy genre some kind of insane attempt to him as a hard boiled action star i think not br br with the cheesy almost awkward acting low budget fx and zany over the top action set pieces it all kinda that old tv show hammer for me hilarious br br of course i may have totally interpreted the film wrong if it was in fact an attempt at a action movie then it was certainly an amusing failure br br watch with lots of alcohol and some mates,positive
i saw this movie on a i was standing on street waiting for a bus to go home and a sister started passing out free tickets for a preview of this movie i gave it a chance not expecting much the movie posters i've seen on the subway station walls do not give this film justice at all br br the movie is about a young rocker who goes on a journey to learn the craft and art of heavy metal i'll leave it there the movie is a heavy comedy and of fun if your are old enough to remember when heavy metal dominated the music scene in the eighties you are going to love this film jack black is an amazingly talented comedian and actor and assuming he really wrote and performed the songs in this film he is also a talented musician br br d is definitely worth a look,positive

an example of genius the epic story of three major stages of life for a young boy told with and raw rarely does a film come along that causes me to out loud say during most of the viewing this is a really good film again and again that is exactly what happened when i watched this film i really do not understand how anyone could not like it i found myself at moments crying and laughing at the very same moment unable to control how i felt about the scene the acting is outstanding eric why is he not all over movie screens he was really extraordinary his seemingly attempt on the screen me in deep visceral ways i thank him in my opinion eric is one of the best around and i hope he continues to rise to the challenges that he faces while trying to give us art in the face of commercial br br,positive
any evening with jonathan ross now means to me his wit in first and with carefully chosen words a year old man by phone and then suggesting he and russell brand should house break and him while he slept as a way to say sorry for making obscene phone calls to him kinky and illegal for a really big laugh maybe next time he should try it on someone he knows well like his boss or a of abu would he be amused if someone did it to one of his daughters br br over all the years i've perhaps seen less than 30 minutes of bbc star man chat show because i find him so some of the guests i saw were ok though probably most of them who ever appeared were ok for all i know as a chat show it seems pretty poor though – what's so about asking leader david cameron on this tv programme whether he ever to photographs of margaret he up gwyneth paltrow by simply asking her if she wanted to f him however mentality was finally totally exposed with the above revelations and i thought i'd take the opportunity to warn the few decent folk around the world who might not know just how vile this man is and to steer clear of him and his unless you think all comedy should be edgy ie obscene vacuous we're not yet all the same here although bbc and channel 4 are all standards br br in october 2008 ross with fellow russell brand made a series of sexual obscene phone calls to andrew answer phone from towers had it broadcast as intended on bbc national radio against request and then tried to get to burn the evidence in case they got a significant number of people over here probably most of them non bbc license found it hilarious and or that the national scandal had been overblown but many people apparently still knew right from wrong and eventually complained to bbc about the incident many media fools and others about these never having heard the radio programme and never wanting to using their argument they presumably also consider an event such as the holocaust justified because at the time relatively few people complained to the media and none of us here now should be horrified by it because we weren't there the 2 bbc producers initially involved in passing it for broadcast thought it was very funny and brilliant comedy and only 2 people complained about radio programme at the time which i'm afraid only the moral level his 400 000 weekly had sunk to with the help of bbc expertise highly moral bbc tried and failed to use it in in the later investigation roll over tell lord the news agent complained to bbc but was ignored by them until a national newspaper got hold of the story the penalty for any ordinary doing this would normally be and maybe even prison but while brand and the head of bbc radio 2 were both eventually ordered to the multi millionaire ross was given a 12 week holiday by boss i suppose that he asked first though if he could pay by 500 000 to prevent him from to come back to this programme in 2009 before his contract runs out all that time to think of more and or more insulting for his 4 000 000 viewers to admire but at least he could still his way to the bank as usual to keep his spirits up some people think that his position will be and he won't be able to carry on i think his skin is so thick because the stakes are so high that he will come back and re with up update 23 i've just watched the first 5 minutes of his new series the most enormous up to use his phrase is continuing to allow this law to take the money like this but who knows maybe in the future after the slimy british film tv have him for the moral stance taken by the and him with awards he will become a sir for his services to by the in government at the least i hope this pair of edgy sign up with other perverted commercial tv and radio stations and stay there so i won't be paying for their the law and illegal in the future in 2009 british tv license 000 for this sorry affair thanks ross for offering to pay not br br to the get a life sense of humour sense of it's not the end of the world having a pair of talentless as your heroes and there's far more important things to worry about in this world like the price of real cheese to sum up family man a comedy genius to apparently millions of people especially himself merely a nasty obscene phone receiving an obscene from an obscene company to others so much for our society of political correctness and respect as you should've guessed it doesn't apply to the rich and famous and never will but only to the poor to sum up bbc stumbling on from now i hope its next crisis will be i also hope anyone who thinks comedy should be always challenging and pushing back boundaries ie offensive aren't challenged or offended by my opinion of this particular law breaking his perverted and his current perverted,negative

i read the reviews of this movie and they were generally pretty good so i thought i should see it i'm a big and art film lover but i believe this is yet another case in which the critics make something arty or intellectual into something it is not i will be blunt it contains scenes of sexual that i never ever wanted to actually see obviously the piano teacher has some major psychological issues but i really did not want to see them displayed so the film is in essence disgusting i mean when i saw for a dream i was by the last sort of scene with jennifer but that was not anywhere near the sort of disgust and i felt during this film,negative
i really don't see how anyone could enjoy this movie i don't think i've ever seen a movie half as boring as this self indulgent piece of junk it probably would have been better if the director hadn't spent most of the movie his own art work which really isn't that noteworthy another thing i didn't really like is when a character got in the face a of blood would forth soon after i don't know how folks bleed over there in japan but i hope they have plenty of blood,negative

this was terrible mean spirited and full of the worst clichés and racial stereotypes i've seen in a time seeing hayden p trying to act ghetto was painful hi one leg up on and some make you down with the pretty much through the entire movie most of the set sequences look like they were filmed in cardboard boxes what was up with the finale and poor was just plain exploited to get people to watch her act which she can't br br put simply this film even deserve one star please put this tired franchise to rest or at least make the next one bring it on iv vs freddy jason,negative
i enjoyed this film immensely i'm really into films where females kick lots of butt so this film already had my hopes up for some decent entertainment my hopes were met and less than 20 minutes into the film the action humor and wit this film contained easily made it one of my favorite films of all time it had sam jackson and his screen presence davis as i've never seen her before demanding your respect and flat out taking it even if you don't want to give it br br plays samantha caine an desperate to remember something about her past but quickly realizing the more she finds out the more she wants to forget and eventually becomes consumed until finally samantha is so more and is all that's left but now can and sam two completely different women possibly exist in the same body we have characters that pop in and out of the film that each side of sam like sam jackson and craig craig is also irresistible as timothy the sexy bad guy with no conscience br br this film was perfectly casted and perfectly acted over the top and wonderfully entertaining you watch the impossible happen and applaud when it does so worth your time watch it you won't be sorry,positive
this is one of those road movies that would like to tell you a things about women the universe the better life the terrible of the brilliant architect from manhattan who all with everyone including his three years old child which may seem irresponsible to some actually the hero wins hands down when it comes to and the scene with his old school pal which begins as some kind of good old days conversation and ends on a threatening note is the in a desert movie br br the scene with the father who left home when i was a child has been told and told and told of course it did not prevent the from making his way of life and when you see the hero's wife's attitude you may think she must never have heard about woman's br br the best is the soundtrack which includes superb songs by willie nelson tom waits or bonnie but you can enjoy them without this tedious pretentious work,negative
valley girl launched nicolas career and was an 80's version of romeo and juliet it is a definite example of an 80's teen classic nicolas cage deborah and elizabeth daily all have brilliant portrayals in this movie but it will never top fast times at high as the ultimate 80's teen flick because if it weren't for fast times then the 80's generation of teen flicks would just be a big blow to the head that's for sure,positive

when the come they will not be bearing gifts no they bring with them war war and conquest as any familiar with this episode know it is a of the war film the enemy below from the fifties the obvious difference is that instead of a and a submarine or an american german u boat engaged in lethal war games it is two in outer space in trek history about 100 years before the events here according to this episode earth fought the wars after about 5 years of conflict a brought about a and the institution of the neutral zone a between us and the empire now on this the appears to be broken as our are being attacked and destroyed by some weapon of immense power yes the are back testing their new war toy and kirk must now earn his pay he must make decisions that would affect this of the galaxy such as out how to avoid a oh i an war maybe br br i think what makes this episode so effective is that it doesn't shy away from the grim aspects of war as one would expect of a mere tv episode from the sixties especially an episode from a science fiction show it's all very tense and gripping like the best war films such as when kirk sits down with his key officers for what amounts to a war the writers and the actors aren't kidding around here this is all for a ghastly conflict potentially the beginning of another years long in the final analysis aim is to keep this to just the two ships but even then it's an with peril and in fact i believe this episode holds the record for ship by the end of it right at the start of the episode we see the such battle can produce in that supposedly well then begin the cat and mouse war games between the enterprise and the ship it's as exciting as any conflict we've seen on the big screen of course if you're not into war films you'd have to look for other things to admire in this episode br br what this episode even further is the revelation of just what and who the are it's an electric shock of a sort now we have even further inter crew conflict on the bridge of the enterprise war does tend to bring out the worst in some people due to still nasty attitudes about race in this future the tension is up even further kirk has his hands full in this one i suppose the one weakness in the story is the convenient of the issue by the conclusion on the side actor makes his first appearance in the trek universe as the commander he's terrific in the role the flip side of capt kirk or capt take your pick done up to resemble spock more than a little surprisingly his character is not war hungry as we would expect another eye opener for this episode the actor would next return to this universe as father so he's nothing if not versatile it's also telling how the first appearance of such characters as the is usually their best shot as it is here they showed up in the enterprise incident next,positive
this movie quite literally does not have one redeeming feature the characters are one dimensional cliched incredibly misogynistic and stupid the script looks as if it was together from 100 other movies the acting is horrible and some of the humour made me feel br br shame on you gregory for thinking any of this would be funny or interesting br br the worst movie i've seen in several years,negative
were it not for the fact that this came as a 2 dvd set paired with the original american were it not for the fact that i've been here in iraq for several months and at this point will watch pretty much anything i would have tossed this movie in the garbage after the first ten minutes this movie was bad on so many levels i just don't know where to start poorly acted shot directed written scored edited my 9 year old daughter's first into film making are superior to this and she was filming the dog sleeping come to think of it i give that piece of cinematography 9 stars but i'm biased if you have even the slightest appreciation for quality film making then avoid this piece of garbage at all costs no character in this movie has a single redeeming quality save for the girl who doesn't even have a single line in english i'll not waste more of my time describing what a bad movie this is,negative
slow odd film that drags and i mean really along to its disappointing climax you may expect some sort of punchline at the end but there is none both and give awkward performances in fact the film's weirdness may actually be the only thing it has going for it the generally atmospheric score has some absurd parts like the music that plays during the first appearance of a monkey and there is a truly awful fantasy scene involving a gorilla,negative
spoiler warning br br this is probably my least favourite cary grant film i spent most of the time thinking ignore him leave him etc is he trying to kill her should we assume that after the end when he her to return home with him that he will kill her after all i see from checking in a couple of books that this is a reading that some viewers critics have taken finishing early is after all a more reasonable way to film a book than to change the ending and this is a more change of ending than for example in altman's the long goodbye unlike hitchcock's earlier example of making the murderer not the murderer because a star has been cast when park refers to the murderous are not mentioned the ending is not definitely ruled out br br in robin hitchcock's films he writes as one mentally from ending to ending the significance of every scene changes the apparent of the narrative the illusion of the the film becomes a text in which the process of narrative is i enjoy playing intellectual interpretation games as much as anyone else but unless the film stands on a straightforward reading then it fails this one fails even after considering the fatal glasses of milk that in a few hitchcock films br br an annoying the year is 1941 nothing in the film says that it is set in the past bruce keeps his money in a paris bank and goes there to do financial business does he not know that there is a war on indeed were there still any from airport is he on good terms with the nazis how come it is never suggested that the germans shot him as a spy or something br br a curiosity when and have dinner with the mystery writer and her brother the there is a fifth person present who is never explained nor introduced a woman in a the credits say that she is playing is this not an example of how lesbians were in films are we to take her as lover the books that discuss overt and hidden gays lesbians in hitchcock e g robin wood again do not include,negative
this is a poor poor movie full of clichés unrealistic moments the air in celebration after putting a fire out never mind that someone's lost their home and a in a bar along with all your mates before telling you in private first walking on the roof of a burning building for no apparent reason the stereotypical and strained relationships the very dodgy cheesy music at the end the unrealistic treatment of the girl who was rescued from her apartment the very unrealistic explosion from that same apartment did they have a couple of tanks in the attic or something anyone with an ounce of wit can see that this movie was a joke it's a pity because do an awesome job and they deserve to have a good movie made about what they do but not at the expense of common sense,negative
this derivative erotic thriller remains watchable most of the way mainly because a viewer is casually curious about how it will turn out and because the director peter hall manages to stage a pretty hot and quite bold sex scene but the finale though unexpected is preposterous and the whole plotting complete with childhood and multiple personality reveals itself to be cliched especially as far as motivation is concerned 1 2,negative
very disappointing and incoherent every now and then a of an idea would develop and be in the next line it had the feel of a film that had been cut and re cut to try and make it work i was bored and distracted all the way through and i'm speaking as a huge fan of the series many of the jokes were unoriginal and tired the medieval section went on far too long and the quality of acting was very poor some on the tiny guest spots like simon and liam cunningham did more in their 30 than the main cast did in 90 br br it's a shame really br br the only really interesting thing was getting a look inside the little shed on square which is something everyone who is ever in that part of london wonders about,negative
this was a television show that i watched during the 1960s as a child and was captivated by it in the many years that have passed i have often thought about this show and how good it would be to watch it again but being that things of the past are not always as good as you remember them this was a great show in the 1960s and has lost nothing even now in 2007 sure there are a few odd production mistakes that you see when watching old shows and it takes a couple of episodes to get used to the dubbed voices but having done that i was as captivated now as i was back in the 1960s the samurai is played by who plays the role in a very humble manner i remember during the 60s due to the popularity of the show here in australia he performing sword play etc and was overwhelmed by the interest in the show and in him it was great that one of my all time favourite shows still held the magic that it did during my childhood a must see series,positive
i really can't see why people seem to dislike this film i found it very entertaining of course the fact that it stars the gorgeous laura is a bonus when i first heard about it i thought it would be along the lines of a role weird science and to an extent this is true however there is a twist which i really didn't see coming having seen the trailer on the dvd which i hadn't seen before watching the film i saw that the twist is actually shown in the trailer very strange br br as the film progresses the weird science comparison fits less and less and i think this is the better of the two films certainly there are some scenes which don't work wonderfully but these are made up for by the enthusiasm of the young cast br br in summary i'd suggest that this is a fine example of a sci fi chick flick and i don't think i've seen many of them,positive

this film is the most and painful horror film i have ever seen in my life to know that this film is based on a true story and watching jeffrey dahmer carl crew brutally murder his victims is enough to bring a tear to my eye i admit this was a low budget film with not the best dialogue however it explained why jeffrey dahmer was a maniac as he was so emotional his emotions and went so far deep into his brain that it resulted into him becoming a murderer every person that he back to his apartment he was attracted to and had feelings for and the reasons why he murdered them wasn't only for the thrill of killing them but because he couldn't cope with the fact of them leaving him in the scene when he killed his first victim by bashing an object at the back of the guys head from what i noticed wasn't because he wanted to kill him but because he was with the idea of the guy leaving him it was from thereafter that he got use to the homicidal behaviour and made killing his for both evil and emotional reasons br br the scene when he was talking while crying on the phone with his mother and telling her how much he loved her and the love he showed to his grandmother and how he didn't want to move out of her house did show that he did have love in his heart one scene that i found quite spooky and strange was when a priest jeffrey in a pub a guy back to his apartment and then jeffrey up in a phone booth within the pub so that the guy would lose patience and change his mind on going home with jeffrey when the guy left the pub the priest then hung up the phone and was was laughing at jeffrey i also found that carl crew played a remarkable acting performance as the role of jeffrey dahmer his evil and cold blooded facial expressions before he his victims were so real i was in my seat his facial expressions reminded me of the way vincent private leonard in the film metal looked just before he down the general in the toilet br br if your an emotional person i wouldn't recommend you to watch this film but if your not than go ahead and watch it,positive
i try to be diverse in my movie watching i can get into pride and prejudice as easily as i get into disappearing acts love jones is my all time favorite it is the standard by which i judge any modern urban romantic comedy shot very well the shot of and darius riding up drive on the motorcycle is one of classic 3 second movie shots of all time of course no one will ever remember it when it came out i though it would be a new for modern urban film making good actors no guns and so forth the movie industry has disappointed me to a certain degree you will have your occasional or roll or tyler why did i get married so whenever i need to see my people presented on screen in a very professional and stylish way i pop in love jones there is no best movie ever made to many people and opinions for that but it is my personal best my favorite line from love jones baby i just wanna come up and talk,positive
i'm guessing that the movie was based on a book given the number of characters and subplots during i thought that the movie creators perhaps the writer or director intended to create an epic movie but really there wasn't enough time to properly spend on developing characters or story there were many unrelated side stories that could have been edited out br br in relating the events leading up to the mass murder of all these and officers i don't think the movie explained any reasons why murder was necessary was it political philosophical revenge the interesting part of historical movies are seeing personal motivations or emotions instead the murderers of seemed like controlled entirely by who's appears occasionally framed as a sketch the portrayal of the russians and germans seemed entirely one dimensional are polish people just that angry at the russians besides being badly edited and biased or at least unrealistic choices of music and cinematography felt to each other and to the movie itself i don't think you can really shoot an epic war film or war event on hand held camera but if the director went with a character driven story perhaps by focusing on a single family maybe the handy approach would have worked better and if you use really dramatic music it needs to be better balanced to the type of shots made,negative
this movie sat in a dusty stack of videos in my house for ages before we watched it we knew it was there every time someone wanted to watch a movie it was suggested it almost became a joke i know let's watch throw from the train i don't know why it was always turned down it just was little did we know what we were missing out on it still me why it took us so long i mean it stars danny billy crystal and ann who we referred to as the lady from the an all star cast that should have to everyone in my household but there it sat for nearly ten years until one day it was suggested and we could turn it down no longer br br it was like finding king tomb br br no movie has ever made me laugh so hard and i doubt any movie ever will i had to for almost every line because i was still laughing at the line that came before it and lost ability to hear or pay attention not just simple laughing either the kind of laughing that more energy than running ten miles in the cold the kind of laughing that you cannot control that causes rolling around and and tears and running down your face because it's just that funny once i learned the movie by heart i will say this effect has but i don't think i will get tired of watching it and finding new quirks in it to appreciate i think that's all i can say i would recommend this movie to anyone but if you don't enjoy it please don't let me know i will probably be offended,positive
the was the most underrated film of the decade despite my best efforts at home it is still seen as a bad movie i say to hell with everyone on this every one doesn't understand that it is in part a comedy with a dramatic twist at the end danny aiello plays a burnt out director with perfection and conveys a sad depressed man the scene when he is trying to record a last message is quite good the of stones movie are absolutely funny this is harry stone and today i become a man in all a fine and sadly misunderstood movie plus a great cameo by little richard hilarious i hope that more people see this movie because people is not enough for a br br silence,positive
this film was probably the best scary film i've seen in years chilling might be a more accurate description the ending was unexpected and therefore took me by surprise if it has any flaw it would be the of the whole meaning of life concept since truly knows that answer you definitely into murky waters when you that concept into a movie put that aside and the movie is quite enjoyable should emerge as one of the next bright young stars in the film industry the rest of the cast were somewhat shaky however since the focus was on sara novak her performance the movie the at times poor acting abilities of her were not an issue since it was not their performances that this movie thankfully watch this movie you should enjoy it br br t,positive
based on stephen a brief history of time this amazing film by morris documents the the life and work of one of the greatest minds in the history of he has contributed more to science despite his disease than an able scientist could only dream of br br the film begins by telling of childhood and how he was a poor student that was bright he his way through college and university where he was with the disease that would take away normal functions of his body but would allow him to continue living and thinking perfectly br br morris how the brilliant mind of stephen developed from childhood to the present at one point his mother tells how when she was pregnant she bought a to read while in the hospital himself the of his while morris interviews close friends and colleagues whom have been lucky enough to the magnificent man br br he tells how he was first intrigued by the discovery that the universe was similar to how a star would expand we also know that stars eventually die and become what is now known as black holes if this is the case will the universe not too begin to contract itself until we reach the big as puts it and when the universe does begin to will time not reverse when this question i began to think that death may not be the end perhaps one day time will go backwards and our death will become our and our birth our death the universe is one big cycle just like everything else in life br br this is what is telling us everything in the universe itself this is completely logical and can make your mind wonder in a million directions it this is why i love this film and why it is a must see an 11 out of 10 morris never,positive
having known and loved this book since i was eleven i was terrified to see it coming up as a movie what if they'd made a dreadful mess of it in the event i have worried at all everyone was very well cast and the acting is terrific it followed the story very well except for the strange addition of the scene in the prison which to me added nothing at all however it really is the most beautiful love story and i'm so glad i it so i can watch it again and again my only is why didn't they give a green made him such a man' such a simple thing when they went to so much trouble for everything else if you get the chance see this it is excellent,positive
this movie was great and i was waiting for it for a long time when it finally came out i was really happy and looked forward to a 10 out of 10 it was great and lived up to my potential the performances were great on the part of the adults and most of the kids the only bad performance was by milo himself there was one problem that i encountered with this and others like it movie all of the characters i wanted to live were getting killed overall i give this movie an excellent 9 out of 10 maybe we should better people to kill next time though ok,positive
film follows four friends from the 1950s when they're in high school up to 1981 they are craig a immigrant georgia a free spirit david michael who has no personality and tom jim a big strong handsome rugged guy all three of them are in love with georgia but she only loves the film mostly focuses on those two it chronicles their lives love and attraction to each other over the years it also gets into trying to win the love of his tough immigrant father br br i love this film but it's not without its bad points high voice is annoying but you get used to it the story jumps around very quickly tom and david's lives are never explained tom shows up with a wife and kids and david has a wife we never meet until the end some crucial scenes are badly written and there's some obvious pre release cutting probably to keep the film at 2 hours br br but everything else is so good you can easily forget the problems the story is compelling you really get to know and understand the characters and always get caught up in the lives with a few exceptions the script by steve is good in fact was a immigrant himself and based much of the script on his own experiences all the acting is great especially and also reed throws in a strong likable performance as college roommate and lois smith is very interesting in her role and look quick for and br br basically it's a real great story about immigrants coming of age love of america and covers the 50 80s perfectly br br this film was on its release the studio didn't know how to it it is a hard film to market and the critics on it pauline review in the new was particularly harsh it barely played in theaters i was lucky enough to catch it in 1981 in its short theatrical run and has simply disappeared that's a shame this is a movie that is just for i'm not on it but you never know a definite 10 all the way,positive
once again i've been by seemingly intelligent reviews making seemingly intelligent comments about an obviously crappy movie i actually put my shoes on got in my car burned expensive and drove to the nearest rental place after reading said reviews and paid the requisite 4 dollars and change to rent this thing i'm telling you this one's not worth the spent on one's finger to switch channels on a tv remote br br i even gave it a few more minutes after seeing all the tell tale signs of a dog pile these presented as of a director who is a going or b is only interested in the film he she is to create i saw similar with john carpenter's string of ridiculous over the past number of years br br here are a couple of scenes as evidence the priest is having a disturbing dream supposedly a of to come since he seems hell bent on opening the feature which houses the demon the dream is a goofy of disjointed images right out of the twilight stock footage a clock through the dream what the mystery of time big deal a head painted in demon features with store quality halloween make up back and forth in a frenzy every time i see this effect a big fat rip off from ladder it me off this in itself almost instantly a film br br the whole build up of the dig itself is laughable everything is so obvious so tired and over the only possible response is boredom at one point in the dig the priest comments on finding the of angels surrounding a they're all pointing down toward the crypt with their weapons he look at these surrounding it's as if they are holding something down this is supposed to build tension critical mass but it doesn't even come close how can there be suspense if you treat the audience like a bunch of morons having to explain the suspense as you go along the imagery is over done in the first place but the added comments only add insult to injury in my opinion soon thereafter the tomb is with the remains of the soldiers placed there to guard the main another shameless rip off of the keep btw who for crying out loud did the make up effects for this film the blood actually had that quality one might see in 70's flicks at this point i became almost convinced that they simply forgot the make up and had to go to wal mart in the interest of time and money br br don't listen to glowing comments on this one i'll be keeping a suspicious eye on too looks like it might be time to hang up his perhaps a close friend will offer a gentle to quit while there's still dignity in memory of films gone by,negative

paul thomas stylish and compelling take on the 70s porn industry follows eddie adams aka mark through six years of sex drugs and disco his chance meeting with pornography director jack burt reynolds starts his career as one of the greatest adult actors of the time character is based on real life porn actor john holmes who like was renowned for being extremely well this is where finds initial success br br the main themes in boogie nights are the obvious ones relating to a film of this genre pornography drugs sex betrayal violence and music boogie nights deals with the pornography theme with some control it is not and the sex scenes are surprisingly minimal but mentally explicit when they take place on screen br br throughout the film cocaine is abused enormously and the film's setting los angeles 1977 1983 reflects the popularity of the drug at that time which the film captures perfectly however boogie nights does not promote cocaine as there are some scenes involving addiction and for example at jack's party they find a girl who has recently and blood from her nose and she begins an unconscious fit the film before this scenes has been fairly upbeat and comic but from this point it the darkness that it will occur br br the music scenes are executed brilliantly from superbly staged disco scenes to a down and out singing terribly in his new music career the soundtrack too is excellent featuring tunes from the emotions the beach boys and the unforgettable sound experience the standout scene in the whole film comes down to the music john c and todd parker thomas jane visit drug dealer jackson's alfred house in order to make some quick cash from selling drugs but night sister christian which is playing in the background the intensity of the scene incredibly proving that music can bring so much more depth to a scene boogie nights is filled with those kind of scenes which makes the film even more fantastic br br the standout performance in boogie nights is burt reynolds as the enigmatic yet moody film director in the scene where he attacks a young guy for his movies it is a complete shock for the audience because before this point he has been pretty and content other notable performances are moore heather graham as the beautiful john c and mark who delivers the performance of his career br br boogie nights is also a surprisingly original film using common themes but filmed in its own sharp and realistic way approach has been fully captures these characters in a time when nothing seemed to be going wrong or at least until the 80s arrive from then on things turn very dark indeed and all signs of the characters and situations from the first part of the film have gone this does not however the high level of engaging entertainment that this film offers br br boogie nights was not a box office success only million at cinemas in the uk but this is not the film's or the director's concern anderson quality not popularity which is evident in his three other films hard eight and punch drunk love i would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a simple filled with excellent and situations because at the end of this film you will realize that boogie nights is a simple morality tale but one which will stay in the mind days after you watch it boogie nights is at once shocking hilarious devastating and both visually and outstanding,positive
the 70s were without a doubt the golden age of made for tv horror this is one of those that was probably out as an abc movie of the week it's the old story of a house and or ghost one of the new owners the movie has promise but it's never realized everything is rushed too much tension and suspense need time to build and grow and there's nothing new we've seen it all before and one better br br one final thought i don't understand why robert character would fall for the long dead movie star when he's married to kate jackson for goodness sake,negative

i was pleasantly pleased with the ending i just saw this movie yesterday and was going to turn it off but changed my mind it was not at all the direction i thought the story would end on thats about all positive i can say about this film all of the actors are especially the lead while she is an attractive young woman she'll never make it big the writing direction and acting are sort of like what you would see on daytime the filming locations were very clever in making you think it could be anywhere instead of blatantly off it was in canada as this was shot entirely in canada i'm assuming the entire lot was which is not entirely bad as some recent tv productions cold squad stone are quite well done,negative
this film held my interest enough to watch it several times the plot has holes but the lead performers make it work br br catherine mary stewart julia does a great job as a woman of who has sacrificed everything else to become a she worked years to earn the money to go to medical school she is performing brilliantly in her and is just about to take her board and realize her dream br br meanwhile sister and brother in law are murdered and as the nearest living relative she is compelled to take in her niece amanda stewart to avoid having her become a ward of the state amanda is about 7 years old from her appearance amanda is so traumatized from her murder that she has become mute needless to say 16 hour days get longer caring for amanda br br rob lowe plays kevin finney a charming neighbor man in their apartment building who works his way into the lives of julia and amanda he is always there with a trick or a joke to help amanda deal with her distress amanda really starts to warm up to kevin as the film progresses perhaps more than to her aunt julia starts to rely on kevin to take some of the load of caring for amanda as she attempts to handle her case load and prepare for her board examination kevin is always there whenever some crisis for julia br br the chemistry between rob and catherine mary was great you keep watching to see them get together before the end of the film the chemistry between rob and was good as well managed to convey quite a lot without the benefit of words the plot had julia and amanda gradually warming up to each other you can see them working out a relationship as the film progresses br br we discover that sister and brother in law the meyers were involved in industrial espionage they stole an extremely valuable prototype from their they had three associates who intended to share the proceeds of the julia discovers that the meyers were planning to skip the country under assumed identities the plot is unclear whether the meyers intended to double cross their associates or were themselves double crossed br br in any case the meyers are murdered in their home by 2 of their former associates the killers make no attempt to the location of the from the meyers before killing them the killers search the home and fail to find their prize they leave a living witness to their crime amanda the killers then spend the remainder of the film making clumsy attempts to the from julia and amanda who have no idea where the prize is located eventually the killers kidnap amanda in hopes she knows something about the location br br eventually julia discovers the truth about kevin he is an investigator hired to recover the stolen after some rough moments in the relationship they manage to rescue amanda and the bad guys the predictable ending has the three a family and moving happily into a future together br br what struck me about the plot were major holes kevin moves into the same apartment building as julia and amanda the day after the murder of the meyers how does he know that the is not already in the hands of the killers the killers leave at the murder scene with no concern for their identity the killer that pretends to be a psychiatrist is revealed to amanda by the of red paint from the murder scene on his shoe soles he was not shown in the murder scene at the start of the film there are other weaknesses along these lines too numerous to mention br br the film could have been a lot better if the script had been more before filming filling in the plot holes would have added little expense and greatly improved the effort,positive
especially after watching the matrix spoilers br br after seeing the matrix with all it's ridiculous fantasy make believe robotic characters with their super powers it was refreshing to see an action movie with real people in situations that involved actual risk i cared about these people and even though some of the stunts seemed a bit much it still left me feeling like it's possible what a stupid video game like the matrix br br this movie isn't brain surgery it's very straight forward some things are predictable like knowing that someone is going to be a back and that someone early on is going to die pretty obvious but so what the first 15 minutes sets up our reason our motive our main objective br br i like that and didn't have any make out scenes i am glad that they didn't go there they kept it about funny dialogue especially seth greene that guy is funny br br this is a movie that i would buy when it comes out on dvd it's fun fast and entertaining the only thing and i guess it's a big thing is that we are really rooting for the bad guys this group of are already on the wrong side of the law not a good message for the parents please explain this to them br br,positive
this movie twists the facts of anne and lives into something to make mary who in fact was a rather dim and foolish creature and make her the good sister is just silly it is anne who was in fact the far more interesting character and that is why it is her life and not that has been told so often br br in response to an earlier review i fail to see how life was so criminal to me it's henry who was the real criminal whatever motives for winning the king and her affections in order to gain a crown and husband has to be taken into context of the time in which these real life events took place anne in comparison to the majority of most of the in her time was a relatively innocent figure most modern historians or have most of the and that this movie about her and i have never heard of anyone who actually believes the than she slept with her brother this movie is so sensational and false that it is to think that someone without knowing anything about this period in history could walk away believing anything this movie has presented as fact br br i won't even get into the weird filming of the movie but i'm pretty sure that cameras weren't invented in the century so i don't understand why anne and mary are talking to one throughout the movie it's a really bad plot and is jarring and annoying to put it mildly br br anne of the thousand days is not accurate either but is infinitely more entertaining and at least comes closer to telling the story of one of the most intriguing women of history don't even think about renting this it's two hours you'll never get back,negative
i have noticed that a lot of films that have been featured on mystery science theater have received a tons of low ratings on imdb however a few of the films featured on the films weren't that bad and it's not fair to rate a film that's been given the treatment with the making funny comments during the film now i am not saying that the girl in lane is a great film but it's not nearly bad enough to merit its current imdb score of 2 1 br br the film begins with and danny meeting is a veteran drifter and danny a younger guy who seems to have no particular reason to be wandering about the country once they blow into a small town needs to rescue danny again and again because danny is quite naive a nice way of saying he has the intellect of a br br along the way something happens to the self assured he finds a nice young lady and finds the lure of staying put pulling at him and in an odd subplot jack plays a super creepy who wanders the town the crap out of everyone yet oddly the police don't seem to take much notice nor does anyone on their own do anything about him ultimately however when puts the moves on a girl who is falling for things come to a full br br overall while not at all a great film there were many interesting plot elements in this film enough to merit a score higher than 2 1 the biggest are a simplistic conclusion to the mystery that occurs near the end as well as the total stupidity of danny one time too often considering the budget however it's a watchable little film,negative

this movie has a lot to recommend it the paintings the music and david naked butt are all gorgeous the plot a story of redemption forgiveness and courage in the face of is also very interesting and touching and it's not predictable which is saying quite a lot about a movie in this day and age but the acting is mediocre the direction is confusing and the script is just odd it often felt like it was trying to be a parody but i never figured out what it was trying to be parody of and if it's not a parody well it remains a movie with great potential that it didn't live up to,positive
i'm a fan of get this is the sequel for the movie that needed no sequel br br is back but russo is gone without a unfortunately game was played out in the first movie and rather than find an interesting personal arc for him they just have him stand around repeating lines from the first movie it's pretty tepid travolta looks old here it's like they move people around him because his bones are getting his pink lip and the blue eye contacts are very weird the 2nd bad role is edie played by uma thurman she's a music producer a role that requires her only to be the female hey these kids have a great new sound in any scene she strikes the wrong pitch or emotionally or both it's painful to watch despite it's problems be cool gets better after a very start br br i certainly got my laughs out of it vince running around on fire cedric the entertainer ludicrous the rock a t shirt that says widow on it but it offers no great memories after it's over it's a light love fest from the first frame there's no one as idiotic as gene hackman in the first movie it's just about doing good in the world for a couple of kids who deserve a chance the rock ho hum the first one wasn't preachy br br working in repeatedly gags lines from the first movie is annoying as is the dumb to the wrestling fans he raises his twice as are the inside jokes steven tyler saying i'm not the kind of singer that make appearances in movies br br the all star spectacular line up is part of the problem the first movie wasn't by stars br br for a buck rental let's call it even,negative
john wayne's first starring role just blew me away style on i had to check and make sure i had the right date sure enough this 1930 film was made using a wide screen process aside from that it features some of the most realistic footage of the trek west i've seen men and animals are really down a cliff face by rope trees are chopped by men and women so the train can move another 10 feet the indians are not the pretty boy city who portrayed them later they're the real deal a river crossing in a driving rain storm is so realistic it has to be real in fact i understand that director walsh nearly lost the entire cast during this sequence i could smell the wet each day is an agony the various sub plots are forgettable but the film as a whole is not i can't think of another title that can beat the big trail in a sense of living history on the trail to bravo,positive
as a south african living in south africa again after a year stay in the uk i am sorry to say that this movie is a huge disappointment the three main problems i had with the movie was a why and an american and a to play the leads this country is with talent and has no need of b gillian has been off her struggle for years now she's a very mediocre writer and even her novel doesn't stand up the direction of mr hooper and c again such a great actor as proved in million dollar baby but that's eastwood too here dressed in the contemporary new york style whilst around the poverty of the where was the consideration and sensitivity needed by the and director yes the film is ultimately moving how could it not be but the overall mood at the conclusion is one of tremendous letdown in the right place but needs a pace maker,negative
i seem to be with a lot of folks here but i really did not find this movie as as the reviews i read claimed it was no doubt a touching story and the background provided the scope for an epic but the movie was a let down specially for who has seen of the lead being played by sunny and the songs i must say is the better of the two the story being virtually the same failed to create any depth in its characters as well as the scenes that were supposed to an impact over looking accent and the image which in itself wasn't an easy job the characters just did not seem too real not that i am the acting by any of the lead it just did not work the atmosphere was well drawn up but the movie really lacked in substance not that i am die hard rambo fan but some action have seen the movie through or some character development it all seemed like a rush to the finish and the ending only added to the viewers br br i must say that it was at least a good effort in seemingly unfamiliar territory by the director and if u haven't seen then u even like it,negative
a whole lot of the people that have seen this are confused obviously the original title of joe would've put things into better perspective for much of the viewing audience i have personally experienced the condition of often accompanied by a really bad after a weekend and it is indeed a lot like the movie man a dry film that regret for recent choices and begs for a hot shower br br it is unfortunate that the choice of man for the title was by the probably the work of some hollywood no nothing studio who just didn't get it and not joe those of us who have seen the film know that the man is actually joe a not a true man the deception of the folks marketing this film is unforgivable and for that alone i cannot give this film a high rating imagine this when future filmmakers get together to create the true definitive man movie and need a title they will be totally screwed and we are all as serious fans of the genre for that br br joe could've become a horror movie icon right up there alongside madman black claw nature boy billy the wooden doll the the moon beast bloody bill the killer mickey rooney and so forth but he will always be remembered as a sword wielding tackle skull face tied to the side of a horse man wannabe br br that's too bad,negative

i saw this movie late at night on a free to air channel and i must say i was pleasantly surprised being a horror movie fan i often watch these sort of midnight movies during the school holidays more often than not the horror movies shown during this time are usually big certainly does not fit into that category br br tales is basically an anthology of short stories based loosely on well known urban legends they are together with a setting involving teenagers telling these stories around a this setting has a mysterious plot in itself however this particular story is weak and confusing obviously used to set up the other spooky tales br br there are three tales in this movie four if you count 'the at the beginning all of which are truly spooky and well made i especially enjoyed the third tale 'the involving a guy whose breaks down in front of a mysterious household this particular story works well in really freaking you out with sudden flashbacks of the history in addition to this the ending of the tale will completely shock you the first tale 'the was also very creepy though the second tale can was somewhat lacking br br being a horror movie veteran i don't usually get freaked out this film certainly did that job well what i particularly liked about this movie is the fact that it's split up into three shorts this means the movie won't through an hour or so of character development and setting establishment before the real bloodshed begins that makes perfect for parties etc br br tales is a creepy crisp horror movie that will make your heart stop more than once it's certainly better than the crap you'll often find in the cinemas these days blair witch 2 urban legends final cut find a copy and watch it if you dare br br,positive
it's pretty good all things considered a must for anyone about the opposite sex i e all of us the trailer doesn't give away any of the plot for good reason br br the premise is absurd so it's nice to see that it doesn't take itself seriously it's like someone from the bbc children's department decided to make a film for adults that's not a bad thing imo br br 7 10,positive
it has carla and a crappy ending boo br br jaded is a highly erotic story about a beautiful woman who arrives in a town trying to escape her past there she meets up with two lesbians and after a couple of drinks the two decide to have some fun but one of the girls takes things a bit too far and rapes her the second girl holds her down she is discovered on the beach where the incident happens the next day and is taken to a hospital after that we spend the rest of the movie watching her attempting to bring down the two girls and at the same time learn some new info about who she is and where she comes from and a bit about her past br br director and co writer does an excellent job with this movie considering its uber low budget it hand held and sometimes looks like but it fits the movie since the story demands a harsh look to it the actors all do okay jobs with what is given to them and there's not really anything to complain about it the standout feature in the movie is of course carla who it all in this movie she is actually more nude in this movie than she is in sin city christopher is also in the movie but his character is really kinda pointless but he is fun to watch i didn't really pay much attention to the music since it doesn't really draw attention to itself but it gets the job done with what it's got the movie is r rated and it's that for a very good reason it's very sexual and very graphic at times it's essentially borders on soft core at times but the sex scenes are necessary for the movie so it doesn't feel like it's just there for the sake of being there although there is one pointless scene where we see chris getting it on that scene was a tad pointless but it's not really much of a problem i guess the only fault with the movie is that we don't get to see the court trial after all that we go through in the movie it's like having sex and not having an or something br br it's a shame that the talented has never made a feature film since this this is a highly gifted woman can do great things with a very little budget i really hope that she gets back in the game soon because she is an amazing director jaded is not a masterpiece of erotic cinema instead what we have is an enjoyable movie that shows a great director in the making br br hide the kids and close the you don't want people to think you're watching porn watching this movie,positive
if you are a bit and like to waste some time you should try this one i wasted enough time myself watching it so i will waste no more explaining why it is so awful be warned oh i see that i have to fill 10 lines or more here we go every year or so some people think it is fun to start shooting a low budget film about the scary monsters of the underground that hopefully will prove to be some sort of a hit the is one of those i didn't have high expectations about this one but the acting is so bad and the production so poor that i'm seriously thinking of asking for a one more line about a useless movie oh i'm done,negative
flesh feast starts at miami airport ace reporter dan carter harry he is also credited as production designer phones his mate ed phil to let him know that he has just returned from south america where he has been investigating carl doug foster that he was onto a big story but while still talking on the phone he is stabbed in the back killed meets dr lake she also executive produced who has recently been released from a mental institution together they discuss their grisly plans the news of death has reached he decides to take the story up himself do some investigating well actually he gets his secretary day to do most of the investigating just report back to him lazy virginia informs that they have someone on the inside named heather hughes since dr her spare rooms out to reports back to about dr grotesque youth experiments involving human flesh specially br br co written co produced directed by brad f flesh feast is a pretty poor film on all accounts first lets start with the script by thomas who was also responsible for the cinematography you get the feeling that most of the cast crew had more than one job basically it's terrible the character's are one dimensional idiots have no personality i didn't like anyone in this film for what it's worth i quite like some of the ideas here the flesh eating the basement laboratory stealing bodies from a hospital that unforgettable ending that's almost worth sitting through the rest of the film for on it's own unfortunately the dialogue is so badly written stiff unnatural sounding it's untrue i mean there is one scene in which a nurse says that they won't let us out of the house which is fine except for the fact that she is speaking outside in the garden to someone no thought has been put into the story as no explanation is ever given for why flesh eating are able to youth in fact at one point near the end when about this very thing dr claims there is no time to explain at that point which to me sounds like the people who wrote this didn't have a clue either even at an extremely short minutes long flesh feast is very slow dull the poor editing doesn't help with scenes shots lasting for far too long for example there is a scene in which an pulls up outside a hospital drives up to the doors the guy gets out he walks to the back doors opens them etc etc did we really need to see every single detail there is also another sequence in which dr enters room puts some on then she takes them off walks into the opposite room puts another pair on i personally think that probably didn't shoot enough material so he stretches every scene out as much as he can to make the run time up i do like that bizarre ending though i really do technically flesh feast is complete crap i'm not sure what the budget was on this but it must have been small very small just about the entire film takes place in one house dr laboratory consists of a table some plastic test some ancient looking electronic medical equipment a strange screen with funny colours on it don't ask the cinematography is poor the music sucks the entire film looks dubbed badly dubbed too the exploitation elements are also disappointing there are a few shots but they don't actually do anything other than a bit there is a brief scene where a dead body has it's leg off a ok looking corpse limbs hanging on the acting is awful from everyone concerned i mean really bad which makes the dialogue even worse do yourself a favour avoid flesh feast yes there are one or two unintentionally funny moments that ending is well unique to say the least but for the most part this is real amateur film making that quickly becomes painful to watch i doubt most people will make it through this is one sitting i can tolerate just about anything but even i considered switching it off definitely one to avoid you'll be pleased you did if you really have to see it don't say you weren't warned,negative
ok when i was little and i mean like 2 or 3 not 6 and 7 barney was one of my favorite shows i then grew out of it and threw all my old barney tapes away so one day as i'm flipping through channels i see that barney now takes place in a and i thought um huh is this the right show once i realized it was i freaked why did they change the show's setting from a school to a ever since then the show has been absolutely terrible and the only reason i'm giving it a 2 is a because i'm nice b because of riff and c because in the old times the show was tolerable now i just hate it hate it br br 2 10,negative
i just wanted to leave a quick comment as its not listen on here but i have just seen this movie the version i just rented was released in 2005 as far as i know and it was actually called don't go into the attic i only realized it was the same movie as upon searching for some of the actors who looked familiar in the movie anyways i'm in ireland so maybe this has only been released over here and in the uk now but thats what its called over here not really like it matters because i would not recommend this movie the only words that spring to mind watching it are cheese cheese cheese my one mark out of ten is purely for the one little bit o,negative
i had never even heard of one dark night until someone mentioned it on a horror message board here recently and reading into it i gained interest due to meg involvement and that it was an early gig for friday the 13th jason lives director tom unfortunately sad to say it's nothing special the premise has a to it a college girl must survive the night in an old until morning in order to join a that girl is a young meg as julie who wishes to prove to her loving caring boyfriend steve david mason daniels that she can make his cruel conniving ex girlfriend robin evans regardless of the tactics she pulls in order to see her fail along with gang is kitty leslie always with a in her mouth and leslie elizabeth daily who doesn't really wish to cause julie such trouble while leslie insists on leaving julie alone as she remains in the carol and kitty plan to torment the poor girl meanwhile steve for her while julie carol and kitty encounter an evil they couldn't possibly imagine the corpse of a recently psychic vampire whose was of a dangerously powerful degree will seek to drain them of their very the only one who can help these girls is the dead man's daughter olivia melissa newman who is with the same psychic power he has br br i think what many will find exciting is the unusual evil that threatens the girls in the it's certainly different than what you normally see in the slashers that were out at this time like adam character he was the cynical husband of olivia who found the idea of her father's power ridiculous i had a really hard time to the tacky plot and i personally never found anything within the film to get excited about the to me never really was that spooky it doesn't really achieve the same kind of eerie quality phantasm captured and the corpses which are used to attack the girls are laughably unconvincing there is one great scene where a face away i have a soft spot for low budget films from this period of time but i just never really could find a reason to get involved when you have this unsatisfying undead corpse shooting electric from it's eyes causing other bodies to break free from their to their master it's just too silly to take seriously carol is your typical blond bitch wishing to a nice girl who is dating a former flame steve is your typical clean all american boyfriend handsome and tender who becomes the hero seeking to save his girl from whatever sinister forces are at play to make up for the small budget director tries every trick in the book to thrill the audience using a series of effects such as corpses which pursue young girls which shake and doors that slam shut and objects by themselves the film obviously has it's fans and i am glad i had a chance to see it but i was a bit disappointed that one dark night wasn't the horror sleeper i hoped for adam west has a very small role as the concerned husband hoping his wife will snap out of her depressed state regarding a father who had nothing to do with her melissa newman is the troubled olivia that she must stop her father once and for all or else he'd continue to prey on the living donald is an associate of father's who informs her of what he was i wasn't particularly blown away by performance here she was basically scared most of the time but she'd get a chance to prove herself to a greater degree from this point this will undoubtedly be of some value to those who watched it back at that time for nostalgia purposes it might seduce fans of movies from this era,negative
i was very excited to see rock star because i am a big fan of mark i was surprised to have liked it more than i originally thought i would the script did leave something to be desired but the movie's performances made up for it there were a few moments when visions of spinal tap came back and i can't help but think this movie would have been even better as a but i br br continues to demonstrate his talent as he plays with believability an ordinary guy whose biggest dream comes true he does it with the wonder and innocence that make you not only believe him but also make you really care about his character br br jennifer aniston who hasn't impressed me in movies up to this point is surprisingly good as the girlfriend manager she shows more real emotion than i've seen in her last few movies combined br br but above all it's the music in this movie that really draws you in with some 80's tunes let's face it bon would have any 80's music fans in their seat the movie really rocks with the original steel dragon songs and performance of them br br i plan to see this movie again but first i'm going to rush out and buy the soundtrack,positive
a young couple decides to runaway to sunny california they never reach their destination as they decide to pull over at the rest stop br br after a fight with her boyfriend nicole insists on pulling in to a rest stop when she is ready to leave she the bathroom to find her boyfriend has disappeared with their car leaving her trapped on the back roads of texas with only an abandoned van to keep her company br br rest stop is one of those cheap and tacky horror movies that could become a cult classic will rest stop become a cult classic you may ask well the three elements that you need to become a cult classic are gore sex and artistic merit rest stop has bucket loads of gore and while i do not want to give too much away it contains of blood this movie has everything from the bad guy running over a legs with his car several times to him making use of a on a girl's leg at times it can be about as bloody as a film can get it also has a gratuitous and yet somehow quite intimate love scene in the opening minutes of the film therefore the sex is covered now the hard one – does it have any artistic merit you never get to see the bad guy's face – you see glimpses shadowy he is a relentless monster which alone scores highly on the artistic merit scale the movie has very few characters in it apart from the main protagonist – nicole alexander since she spends a large part of the film on her own she cannot reveal her thoughts in the course of a conversation but must speak them so that we the audience know what she is thinking at times this can be slightly irritating however it is a brave step by the writer john and it does work for the majority of the film as an audience knows being completely alone and isolated from is frightening enough even when you are not being chased by psychotic killers br br so will rest stop become a cult classic it probably will because along the gore sex and artistic merit it also has plenty of chills an interesting and inventive plot and gives rise to a lot of shouting at the screen as the main character does plenty of things you should definitely not do when running from a psychotic killer what fun are horror movies if you cannot complain about the stupidity of the victims,negative
the rest of the world needs to know that real women like myself and my daughter don't care to see all the ridiculous to sell something weird locations too much makeup too much skin is not necessary sex does not always sell when you are selling to women the same goes for the horse walk that looks unnatural people come in all they need to have that on the show my daughter has a is tall a size 5 i am more average at a size 12 we would like to see both i can not picture how something would look on me when a size 2 is wearing it it will not fit the same way on me i do not buy magazines anymore because they are one sided on this matter we would really love the show to consider women of all thank you,negative
director and fx man john carl doesn't have to do much in order to me the sight of his name in the credits alone is enough to strike fear into my heart br br his straight to video in the 80s sat on the bottom shelf of the horror section at my local rental shop twenty years later and his dvds the same space it seems that the more things change the more they stay the same you can rely on old to serve up dreck whatever the format and regardless of advances in movie making technology br br in this offering a bunch of friends travel to a remote town where they discover the secret treasure of stone aka the forty evil claim jumping who caused havoc in the mid before his death cursed anyone who should find his gold and it's not long before the pick axe wielding killer is back off the hapless treasure br br with its dreadful script unimpressive make up effects and scooby doo style villain 'the curse of the forty is par for the course for only genre black richard lynch and john phillip law lend this movie any credibility whatsoever with the rest of the cast giving performances ranging from bad to awful although i'll forgive alexandra ford who is a complete br br even fans of bad schlock horror will be disappointed since most of the women keep their clothes on and a lot of the deaths occur off screen which is probably not such a bad thing since the on screen deaths are pathetic br br 'the curse of the forty is another in a long list of for john carl,negative
we were excited to rent this one after reading a few reviews and seeing that it scored so highly here well we got it home and could not believe what we saw its basically comes off as if its written by some hard up perverted old guy who could not help his sexual and fantasies into an anime film that really lacks in plot and humor the main character is all over the place one moment he is like an immature little kid the next moment he is mature and intelligent then heroic then a perverted stalker br br the worst part is all of the out of place sexual content i have no problem with sex and dig a movie that has some good sexual energy but this is just presented in a way that is creepy slips close ups of a girls many times in white or a it was totally out of place and it seemed as if the person who wrote it was trying to live out some fantasies through his cartoon characters br br we were expecting something of a mature nature but we just kept looking at each other and asking what the heck the point of this was besides cartoon boobs and poor dialogue if you want to see some cartoon characters and this is for you if you are looking for something beyond that this movie was empty the characters and dialogue were just plain irritating br br,negative
this movie is really bad there is nothing appealing or worth of commentary in it except for the beautiful settings landscape i know i must supply four lines as a commentary for this movie but the thing is that it is such a bad movie that i can only say that is actually bad michael is the only one who saves the money in the film,negative
i think that complete is a very good tv show and they should make many more episodes it is one of my favourites it is very funny and it is really good acting i say that you should give them a chance to do more episodes that they can and they should they should put complete on more than what they do i'm sure that many people will agree with me i like the tv show because it is a very good programme for people our age and it is very funny i also like complete because it isn't always about the same thing and things that happen could be real unlike other when they advertised it i didn't like the sound of it but i watched it for the first time and i loved it complete is an excellent comedy and i miss it being on tv i can't really compare complete with any other tv series because it is different,positive
i've watched hundreds of kung fu movies and i've heard some good thing about this movie so i decided to give it a try what i saw was one of the worst displays of movie making i've ever seen br br i can't help but feel like the director want to have every muscle guy in hong kong in this movie everyone overacts to the point of stupidity even conan the barbarian had some this movie just has half evolved men screaming in every scene and stupid women who has no self respect the character should've be killed for sucking so much she really didn't deserve to live the end the entire movie was a melodramatic mess with horrible acting bad directing and bad action they should've just this movie to 'the stupid one armed with a blade here's a question why do some director use quick cuts for some action movies answer to can hide the of the actors nearly every scene was close up and quickly cut without any kind of flow the movie tried so hard to show intensity but it became almost laughable please stay away from this movie it you have any kind of taste in kung fu movies or any taste in movies,negative
i was subjected to this terrible excuse for a made for tv movie i only watched it because i don't have cable and my only other choices were golf college basketball or local news the plot is very generic and has no substance that i could see not to mention it had a major flaw in my eyes the main character dr is a washed up who believes that an named nemesis will strike earth causing all life to he his belief on his discovery of cave paintings by an i'm sure i spelled that one wrong the paintings show an apparent showing significant events throughout history such as the building of the great wall of china all of the events are shown in perfect order and the very last picture on the is earth being destroyed now to me if the painting showed things that had indeed happened why would the great doctor believe that he could somehow change what was going to happen all that aside the movie moved along with extreme formulaic there was nothing in the movie that surprised me at all the actors were not very good and on a few occasions i just felt that they didn't even take the movie seriously to put forth enough effort to try to convince me that the characters were worth caring about the whole movie was cliche ridden and a downright waste of time and money i'd recommend over this piece of crap any day at least has some good acting compared to this not to mention the eye candy that is tyler now that i think about it golf isn't that bad,negative
this is another good western which i enjoyed it's not an epic or anything but it is good for what it is about 3 fur led by a men named jed who is crude and jed and his two friends find themselves as for a that is the only thing standing between them and and indian band who the americans on their land and want to take it back that's the of the story what follows is action excitement even a bit of humour and forbidden romance one of friends gus reminded me a lot of the character played by robert shaw in the movie jaws they both have that gruff demeanor anyway if you're a western fan you should find lots to like about this particular entry i think it deserves a 7 10,positive
i really enjoyed camera with dom and i was surprised to see that after the years suzanne have the co star of the show but that was the only positive side of the show the whole studio the intro the all that give the new meaning to the word pompous br br well that would be ok if the weren't so i mean come on the best you can do is show few men that have problem with getting out of the bottle suzanne walking with halloween basket in july ice cream place that sells only vanilla i've seen few episodes and each time it was horrible they were posing like it's the greatest show ever and then fill the time with scenes so dull that i really felt embarrassed to watch even the people in them looked bored and that just can't be good,negative
steven segal has done some awful films but this is probably one of the best since his career took a dive about ten years ago the cast is better than usual and while the story and the plot are a total joke at least most of the action scenes look pretty good br br the plot is probably one of the worst in film history someone is being executed because he stole some money some types kidnap a supreme court justice their goal is to exchange the judge for the prisoner so they can find out where he has the money meanwhile the execution chamber is full of trap doors and false floors and looks like a set from one of the du circus shows br br then there is the issue of the prison here the warden is a played by tony the prisoners all have their gang colors and signs and the guards are there to serve the and keep the prison clean nothing like a bunch of prisoners fighting and beating up some guards while the warden is watching what happens the warden gives them a stern talking to he might them next time br br there are a lot of moments in this movie that are good for laughs however looks pretty good and rule tries to be an action hero lots of fun watching the prisoners all do the right thing and get armed so that they can free the supreme court justice from her regardless of how bad half past dead may be when you watch it keep in mind that it is easily the best movie that steven segal has starred in since under siege in 1992,negative
one of the most movie i thought will do a bit of acting but alas all my hope went wrong given that the heroine is 15 old what did they thought before considering the actress may be its because no wants to work with as he is called in the film human as many people wrote in nevertheless it was a disappointment i hope the producer doesn't make himself by making a part 2 of this as this news is around the story was predictable one with showing his character throughout the movie which i doubt very well br br anyways the movie is good from those people's angle who thinks cant do anything wrong 4 out of 10,negative
does anyone know where i could get my hands on this video or the film for this i have been searching for it for a long time to show my daughter to show her and i can not find it anywhere probably because it was only on video and they never made the dvd or vhs or br br i saw this right off disney back in 1996 and i think it would be the best video to show her such a good movie that has every type of emotion displayed throughout the whole movie also has a lot of actors that started their careers with this movie if anyone knows how to get a copy of this movie or has a copy and willing to sell it to me for like 50 bucks or something please call thank you,positive
i'm new to work and if this and are any indication then is much more a filmmaker of experience than story in his films characters are placed in and mesmerizing horror that literally the logic of the world around them the camera literally flows through sets as the characters run stumble and choke their way to an eventual horrifying conclusion it worked really well in for some reason it didn't work here br br the problem i see with this movie is that even though the protagonist gets help by way of the police and asking for help from her friends it still feels as if she refuses to get help in terms of actually trying to find a solution to her problem the in this film is that she's trapped in the killer's little game one that she could easily get out of by not setting herself up so easily in a weird way it seems like the character wants the torture the killer gives her which in a way is the point and could have worked except that the whole psychology of it is thrown about mostly due to whatever feels like doing br br as a loving homage to the phantom of the opera it's certainly an interesting and unique take for all his worth in operatic movements as well which well highlights the action it just doesn't make much sense especially as it further into a completely useless ending yes i know it's a reference to novel red dragon no it didn't work why the character should go from one horrifying experience of to a willing one with the director is beyond me it felt almost self serving on part br br overall a fun experience and between this and i'm more than willing to follow up on more productions but this is not a movie i'd want to return to or remember br br,negative
i am a big fan of the 1995 version which i have seen many times and consider a subtle excellent film this 1971 version i bought yesterday a bit but now that i have seen it i am glad i did because it is to the book and to insights the 1995 version has more dramatic power largely because it many of the characters in the 1995 version lady russell is more manipulative less truly looking out for anne sir walter is even more vain and vapid elizabeth is mary is more mr elliot is more smarmy lady is much more stupid but i think the characterizations in this 1971 version are closer to the book to vision and to the real people of the time the 1971 version also includes more of the key lines and scenes from the book including especially the key scene in the field where anne talking to or is it about the importance of strength of character i found the acting more subtle and than do many of the critics here but the acting in the 1995 version is more powerful i agree with the critics here that the actress who plays anne is too old for the part i looked up her entry on imdb and she was at the time of the filming when her character is supposed to be 28 i thought her acting was subtle and effective however is of the correct age and i found him very convincing in particular this 1971 version of has much more of his sense of humor and the 1995 one much more of the sense of power a sea captain would have and more passion the in the 1971 version lacks the gruff presence and human warmth of the one in the 1995 version and lacks any feeling of the power an certainly would convey i found him the one truly weak element in the production i agree with others that the staging of the falling scene was too wooden and it seemed unconvincing that she would have been so injured by such a little fall however it could be that she the back of her head on the edge of the stone step which if so really would produce a very dangerous injury and would make the scene more convincing than the scene in the 1995 version where she falls but is clear of any sharp edge that could cause a major head injury as to the that some have criticized i am no expert and can't respond but i will note that none of the navy characters in the 1971 version wear their uniforms while in the 1995 version all of them consistently wear their fancy uniforms i suspect that the 1971 version is the accurate one and it always bothered me a bit in the 1995 version the officers being always in uniform when clearly the nation is at peace and the officers are detached from active duty my father and grandfather were career us navy who aircraft and and they did not spend every day while on leave or at in their dress blues i doubt it was any different years ago the uniforms give the 1995 version a lot of and i prefer it but i doubt it is accurate historically that these officers wore their uniforms so frequently lastly it is true the production values of the 1971 version are a lot less than the 1995 version but given the year 1971 the tv format and the budget we can't blame the artists for it contemporary viewers who can make a mental for the lower production values can find this version well worth their time,positive
this episode of buffy was one of my personal favorites also number three of personal favorites as well the episode featured very little dialogue and despite that the good folks at the decided it a nomination unfortunately it didn't win when first premiered it received about 6 million viewers which was the highest rated episode of season four that should tell you something even though there was very little talking it managed to intrigue people enough to tune in those gentlemen characters who were played my were some of the scariest creatures the show has produced or any network tv show i've seen nothing is then a bunch of silver men coming at you with a while smiling away i think that despite the lack of dialogue the actors did a fantastic job on the episode,positive
until i saw this film life is beautiful was my favourite film of all time this film is everything a great film should be great script acting and direction that neither approaches the the subject nor leaves it without the emotional impact it demands this film contains the taste that could not come from hollywood and lacks the that would come from france a wonderful movie even above the i have come to expect when i see the films come up i need not go into detail as the previous everything why this movie has to be seen by everyone on this planet,positive
i don't really mind the creative ideas in these movies but seriously there isn't one coherent part of the game in this movie that seems to be the trend buy the rights and then just make a movie that has zero to do with what the fans want this is almost entertaining because you know you are getting away with hiding behind a lack of skill and control of money not yours that allows you to do this play a game or hire someone to and please make a real movie or stand in the boxing ring and have your butt handed to you as you so claim won't happen br br wow 9 lines of text and i was done had to add blah to bug you sorry,negative
a whole bunch of teenagers gather around to discuss their fears but an guest has showed up and is killing everybody off br br probably the worst horror film of the 90's camp blood 1999 is the only film that could challenge it for that title has some of the dumbest characters and situations to ever grace a television screen the so called surprise ending is awful as is the rest of this film mildly entertaining on a bad it is good level my rating 2 out of 10,negative
the seven between director joseph von and star marlene were so distinct in look and tone and so different from anything else going on at the time they almost seem to a sub genre of their own like any genre they have their outright masterpieces as well as their absolute time to send blonde back to the farm br br after the seductive hits the blue angel and shanghai express in which miss established her screen image as singer prostitute someone at paramount decided it was time for marlene to play a mother there is nothing wrong with that in itself as an actress she was up to the part it's just that nothing else about the format has changed it's like the blue angel plus a kid fair enough the story of a woman who drags her child along on her sleazy is a sound premise for a tragic drama but that's not the way this is played journey is played as some kind of adventure using her wits and to stay ahead of the law this is not some example of pre code – it is just br br although we may be able to accept marlene is a there is absolutely no way we can buy as a director of warmth and in spite of this being one of the handful of pictures for which he also took a writing credit simply fails to get the story arc the film's emotional payoff is supposed to be the eventual reunion of the family but even at the beginning this is not established as something worth getting back to as usual interiors are dressed and shot to look like either or insane the home is actually quite a creepy environment and it's a wonder little johnny wasn't the bed and asking to sleep with the light on br br but as anyone familiar with them will know the point of a picture is to make look fabulous and in this respect at least blonde is a success marlene is introduced from a forest pool in a bright close up and even when she is reduced to the camera still loves her the same cannot be said for the rest of the cast whom tended to view as mobile pieces of scenery the normally likable herbert marshall is here reduced to a moody lurking in the shadows even the suave and lively cary grant becomes just a boring background blob and does not seem nearly interesting enough for to run off with br br the only standout moments in blonde are song and dance routines especially the renowned hot voodoo number where she parodies her own surreal stage persona by from a gorilla outfit but even these feel like they have been cut and from a different film fans may it as another masterpiece as they are wont to do but for the average it is a massive disappointment audiences of the time did not lap it up as they had her earlier hits and this the beginning of the end for a year later there would be a new queen at paramount – mae west,negative
this showed up on a dvd a buddy of mine bought for me they had it listed as the savage guns which was an entirely different movie obviously the folks who the dvd never bothered to look at what they were burning on the br br anyway this movie is about as bad as they come the sound track is a combination tv batman early james bond spaghetti western lots of around to this music it appears that the guy has to between scenes to burn up some time and give the sound track folks something to do br br english is dubbed over the italian and it really shows i wish it had been just a little bit worse and then it would have had some of the campy feel of the ed wood films as it is it is just plain awful,negative
the biggest problem with this film is that it's nothing like bruce the first film played upon every fantasy of being able to control ones surroundings as one sees fit experience though is entirely different he has none of the control that jim carrey fools around with and instead the story centers around the power of belief now this would have been fine since the first film was preaching the same message the problem is that the sequel does it's preaching at the expense of the comic relief and to add insult to injury it also throws in politics into the plot you get the distinct feeling that there is a clear message with this film and it's main objective is not to make you laugh to sum things up this movie is failed mixture of eddie the distinguished gentleman and charlton the ten i'm not sure if steve is at fault here you get a sense that it's his character that limits his abilities as a comedian the former news anchor is not supposed to be funny he's basically an antagonist made into a protagonist which in this case only adds to the confusion of what this movies message is supposed to be about,negative
without actually giving away my age i saw this for the first time over 20 years ago when it first came out on video maybe it was a tape and i was old enough to drink barely and perhaps i had had a few because i remember thinking how great this movie was i have since seen it sober and have to admit it is a pretty bad film as mentioned in other the plot is absolutely ridiculous and the poor acting just makes it worse it's a poor attempt to that teenagers too can be although i am surprised to find out it actually was to be released the same time as top gun and not actually meant to be a poor imitation but for all it's worth i do find myself watching it if it's on and i have the time it's one of those movies you watch because it's just so ridiculous and tries so desperately to take itself seriously like that other film moment by moment with john travolta and lily don't get me started on that one,negative
this is the most boring pretentious and stupid film i have seen in a long time i saw it at the academy in beverly hills and there were quite a few people in the who had left the screening and were seeking there all were shaking their heads and looking as though they had been to a funeral what a waste of time and money even worse are the critics who gave this pretentious good reviews what's with them are they just afraid they won't be considered hip were they this film is bad don't take a date to it expecting to have an in depth chat at the factory afterwards if going to see this film was your idea she'll you and hold it over you the rest of your life,negative
i loved this film fantastically original and different a solid intense hard core and suspenseful movie that has just the right touch of dark humor if you're tired of the typical overdone ridiculous hollywood b s movies how many big explosions and awful and unrealistic shoot em up gun fights that insult your intelligence can we take then this film is for you fantastic characters that are wonderfully original and believable and solid performances by all actors not a weak character or performance in the film skip film is a breath of fresh air and i applaud his originality and efforts his film has the feel of a cross between a quentin tarantino and a cohen brothers film not a bad mix at all in my opinion this movie grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go there's nothing boring or bubble about this film the only disappointment is that nobody seems to know about it everyone i've recommended it to has me and shared my opinion on it this film is a welcomed change alternative from the hollywood mainstream garbage being produced today even with their big name actors big explosions special effects and huge budgets it's a wild intense violent graphic humorous and raw i mean that in a good way no phony hollywood polish here ride thank you to everyone involved in making this film happen you did an incredible job,positive
this is a strong recommendation to anyone who reads this review who has never seen the film total reality don't waste your time and money renting this poor excuse for a film this is without the single worst movie that i have ever seen in my life i had nightmares of this movie ever since i saw it the acting was terrible and any amateur film maker could make a more decent film the film rips off far superior sci fi films such as or total recall where the title seems to have been derived from i'm sorry but i just think that there is more entertainment value in watching the side of a cardboard box for two hours if you already have seen this movie i feel sorry for you for going through what i did,negative
maybe here in sydney we are all side down and as a result we get to lap up like this s in classy theaters released here in 1980 this hilarious all drama was with of delight at the session i attended in fact the audience were so into the ludicrous antics on screen it played like a rocky horror session within 5 minutes we all knew it was a real disaster the boat scene where you can see the of water tossed in from off set after that it was every for himself and the cinema with advice cheering for bad acting and reactions the in the hold among the is especially idiotic and allows drunken viewers with friends in altered states also watching to contribute appropriately i call these films with michael caine his holiday house films as i always he agrees to do them because he has seen a house he likes and doesn't want to spend his like jaws 3 or 4 or whatever it was called,negative
i was 9 when i first saw this on tv on a friday night i remember the full page ad in the tv guide with the picture of the rex amazing how some things stick in your mind after 30 years anyway if your a kid who likes monster movies this one is entertaining enough especially with and raging at each other special effects are no but its worth the hour and a half if you find it somewhere on late night tv haven't seen it in a few years for some reason these classics fade from cable tv if you do catch it on late night don't be too critical just grab some and enjoy it it might be cheesy but i thought it was a lot better than the kong remake that came out in the theaters a year before,positive
when a group of dumb kids including an unlikable racist bitch stay at an old house it four murderous spirits can la save the day will you be able to watch until the end due to the horrible comedy on display br br the dark power is the kind of really bad horror comedy hybrid troma used to release regularly thing is they didn't release this that doesn't excuse the whole thing as it has a dreadful score including bad attempts at native american music and even worse comedy music bad make up effects basically halloween masks and atrocious acting ok the fat guy was alright though everyone else is terrible and la a western movie vet seems embarrassed to be there not that i blame him really br br the worst thing though is the comedy aspects sure dumb teens is one thing but when the movie keeps talking about the spirits as if they are the ultimate evil only for them to turn out to be horribly annoying bumbling fools all hope is combining horror and comedy takes at least some skill there is no skill on display here as it all is just stupid and not so dumb it's fun either i mean smoking pot and listening to bad punk rock aren't i dumb dumb br br not even a decent ripped off face and a chick in little clothing can save this disaster terrible movie and not even worth a rental,negative
i was blown away when i saw the best years of our lives the acting script and master william direction winner of best director in 1946 is brilliant br br the film is about three world war ii who come home together on a plane and all by chance live in the same town they all are reunited with their families br br the first man al played by march in his oscar winning role has to adapt to his wife played by myrna loy and children peggy and rob played by wright and michael hall being different than before he left for the war br br the second man fred played by dana andrews in an role has to find a good job and adapt to a wife he had only been married to 20 days before he left for the war he begins to find out that she is not the same br br the third man has a much more harder adaptation to make homer played by harold russell in his oscar role he has lost his hands in the war and must deal with his family's and played by cathy reactions to the he has instead of his hands all of these men and their families are reunited in the film in different the stories of these men are all beautifully together br br this film truly the meaning of a classic this unforgettable drama winner of best picture in 1946 is a film that everyone should see br br if i was asked to pick a favorite film i would pick this one br br out of 10 i would give the best years of our lives an 11 br br so the next time you rent a movie rent this one you won't regret it,positive
critics have started calling it the oscar winner club understandably what after won it for monsters ball then going straight to the diabolical in boys don't cry and follows it with the core jamie foxx takes a as a pilot in the dull stealth after a for ray now it's seems hollywood all over her monster oscar with this one of the worst sci fi ever made br br the film loses its audience interest after a mere 20 minutes meaning the only thing really worth staying for is the fact that despite the film being rubbish is still an exceptional actress who is clearly making the best of a crude and laughable premise not only is ultimately shallow but for an action flick it's also really very dull it will only really appeal to comic book fans and teenagers who like the idea of running around half naked for 90 minutes only really succeed in failing br br set against the virus that kills 99 of the world's and in the last city on earth the survivors some four hundred years later in the year are continuing to live in the the name of the scientist who developed its cure br br all is not well in this and it is not what lies beyond its high walls that its citizens from the never ending jungle but what taboo that holds and these taboo that holds and these together that lies within these walls of paranoia and filmed in and around berlin ironically this is a story set against a state a city where its peoples are no longer capable of and its sinister and most secret plot of how it life br br is the assassin that has been assigned by the underground rebels to change the course of mankind forever this is the story of her fight for justice freedom and revenge br br combined lousy pacing and truly dire effects looking more like an unrealistic video game rather than a film the only thing that is fortunate about the failure is that no sequels are in the works might just be the beginning and the end of what could have been one of the worst in history thank god for the lousy box office then br br my final verdict on this truly lousy feature there really isn't a story here just jumping around in a black suit like a grass hopper the acting is very wooden moronic and compared to the other cinemas that are out there today it too much to be like an adaption and doesn't really take much from the cartoon which is what i was expecting the only thing that was done half right that pays tribute to the cartoon was the fly in the eye scene avoid at all costs,negative
a wonderful semi humorous homage to black and white films of folks like fritz lang carl marcel and others allen plays a character caught in a nightmare at first thinking he is part of a vigilante group trying to catch a killer and slowly realizing that he might be a suspect the writing is a little forced this is after all woody allen trying to be a but the point is made and no harm done the cinematography is interesting about 100 shades of gray but make sure you watch in a very dark room with a good screen or details will get in the fog this is an amusing little movie with a few laughs that are actually of uh huh the acting is fine considering the odd vehicle and it's worth watching if you are big woody allen fan also of interest to those about films i'd give this a 6 5 out of 10,negative
i believe this film was made for the not so sum of but that didn't really show there wasn't anything amateurish about the production or the acting the characters were gritty and real and the location could have been any desert area in the world instead of a not too warm beach just north of the actors were quite easily acceptable as a bunch of stranded on a mysterious deserted and planet none of them seemed to be particularly friendly with each other but were willing to fight to keep themselves and their alive there weren't any great explanations of what was going on which can be really contrived so a lot of the plot was left to your imagination rather like the big empty which was a film i also enjoyed i found that i quite to most of the characters there were some perhaps unintentionally amusing moments the men were so ordinary that you felt you could with them and the film's climax and ending were quite poignant i think mr and his crew should be quite proud of themselves i've seen worse films with a budget of millions,positive
the second woman is about the story of a mysterious man who lost his wife in an accident and now believes that someone wants to do him harm a girl who likes him wants to help him but she is led to believe that his fears are caused by a mental illness br br interesting plot very good acting but the result as a whole is poor in many ways the story is too simplistic or rather presented in a simplistic way even though there is a couple of interesting plot twists for example people say they love each other after only two i don't want to reveal anything else but you see what i mean if you watch the movie come on it was the fifties you may think yet i seen quite a few films from that era and i know that some don't seem so dated nowadays br br something that disturbed me was that some scenes were shot pitch dark making it almost impossible to watch what was going on ok it's a film noir but this one is too noir at some points o br br overall the second woman is not a masterpiece of that era but no trash either watch it if you have nothing else to do,negative
it was very sensitive very deep it's my favorite all the time you can't see movie more deeper than this incredible movie susan sarandon made her role as mind actress and she realized her role she deserved the award she convinced me with for being a nun the music was very impressive and sensitive really i liked this deep masterpiece,positive
after watching this film i thought to myself they really up errol life the movie is really nice eye candy they really got the 1930s and 1940s atmosphere of hollywood just right the costumes were great all the women looked glamorous and all the men looked handsome and br br is this a serious film about errol life it's a fun movie based on all the stuff he did in his life br br why am i this film this is a film that had a lot of promise but failed to deliver was really good as errol flynn he was not as good looking as the original but he made you believe that flynn was not just a handsome playboy who did not take himself seriously but as a man who although gifted with great talent was kind of disturbed and unhappy inside love life was a disaster considering he had so many failed he also lost a lot of good friends during his life he also suffered from love for the elegant olivia the last scene of the film showed errol kind of begging for olivia to stay with him and instead she walks away he is shown in his looking really empty and slowly walking around the pool as he his drink into the pool it was a sad way to end the film but kind of fitting because everyone knows by now how he eventually fell apart from his alcoholism and his lifestyle br br this film could've had much more depth could've been better well written sure they showed all the but they never showed errol human center surprisingly was able to put some emotional depth into the character of errol flynn even though the film writing didn't put any depth there br br i'll probably never see this film again but i can still remember after viewing this film gosh this could've been so much more i give this film a d,negative
one of the best lesser known occult oriented horror movies of the seventies it's gritty exciting scary here and there and at moments even very smart which can't be said about many of the movies this kind i can't help seeing some symbolic and points at the seventies society and generation stuff of the time this movie was done the scriptwriter has obviously been cooking while delivering also some good old from the crypt kind of scenes with a job well done from a creative director the result is entertaining and thought provoking the simple yet effective ending specially shows how these things are treated right by those who can br br the excellent cast were mostly unknown to me except l q jones as the moody but funny sheriff and martin as the town doctor martin not surprisingly always ends up stealing the movie with that voice and skill he is one of the greatest in movies for me anyway what an actor br br so it is a little bit of mystery to me why this movie has not gathered far greater recognition i think it would deserve almost equal place in the occult horror alongside rosemary's baby and the exorcist one movie,positive
no real need to say anything else this movie actually had me suicide as a huge fan of the wonderful genre that is zombie movies i found this to quite possibly be the worst attempt i have ever been too the film never actually seemed to go anywhere what was the point to it all i am left feeling hopeless and lost hell this was so bad i cant even justify bashing it anymore i'm just gonna go hang myself in the closet ok now i tried to submit my comment but the will only accept comments that are ten lines or more so here it goes bad horrible no where near enough gore no tits how can you have a zombie movie without tits as a matter of fact the female lead had one hell of a rack and the only reason i watched the film to was in order to maybe by chance get a glimpse nope of course there was one line that does deserve mentioning a line i am looking forward to using myself someday when i just feel the need to get my face this isn't going to smoke itself this movie is bad so bad,negative
five teens set out to do some camping in the wilderness and despite being warned by the park ranger they soon realize that something is lurking around in the backwoods waiting to strike br br when it comes to old horror movies the only one that keeps popping up in every conversation is friday the 13th so i took it upon myself to find those good old horror movies that fell short for simply being compared to friday the 13th just before dawn just so happened to be among the ones i found and was really very impressive it wasn't as bland as some of the stuff you find today it was very sharp in terms of character development as it had quite a few likable ones and it has this very casual pace its not in a hurry to get to the hack and slash bits it takes its time to set the proper mood and tone and is very atmospheric and builds some killer suspense by letting you always have that sense of dread like somethings out there but you don't know where it is or when it will strike br br where i live its definitely an overlooked gem simply because people never heard of it or won't give it a chance but i'll state that it is not a friday the 13th rip off the two concepts don't even go near each other but in my mind it is overall one of the more impressive slashers i've seen in a while,positive
i have to say that this movie was really quite awful the acting was average the pacing of the movie was terrible as well as the soundtrack and cinematography i found that i was bored in most parts of the movie and the cliché lines did nothing for me the two boys that played the main roles looked terrible at times and pull off the emotion that was needed in the movie the little girl was creepy at times and looked like a doll which was scary the ending wasn't satisfying although the movie to be over the ending didn't make me feel anything for the characters this movie was boring and did nothing for me i recommend this movie to no one,negative
it's just when a band and only has one original member it's not the same as the classic line up all new actors playing the main roles of etc with as virtually the only returning face from the first movie and he was of only minor note of the first flick serving as the only group of the three guys that was trying to assist in meeting females the film is poorly written featuring the dumbest dialog this side of even for a t a movie this one is a turkey not even die hard low budget 80's films fans would want to sit through this movie which has no plot and plenty of bad acting this film would have been better off never being released just plain bad,negative
i'm not sure why the producers needed to trade on the name of a somewhat successful movie franchise because the title suggests that it is a sequel to the first three movies which it is not even though did appear in he played a totally different character he was eight years older in this film okay so reid and martin weren't the most talented and couldn't carry a film all by themselves but to trade on the franchise seems to me that there could have made some sort of reference albeit minor to the earlier movies i'm sure everyone who wanted to see it was into thinking that they were seeing a sequel not a totally different film with a familiar name and i'm sorry is not funny and could not hold a candle to the late robin harris lester or in the earlier films although good and are a substantial visual i have to give this a thumbs down just the film down to the last minute would have been ok furthermore the brothers who produced the first three movies were not involved in the making of this film,negative
billed as a romantic comedy set against the early years of wwii it fails to deliver the problem is that while beautifully photographed it has no consistent story line or narrative starting as a murder mystery it offers no hope to its actors as it through recent history depardieu is wasted in a trivial role he obviously is not comfortable with playing cannot carry the picture the hero is not obviously an imitation of a hitchcock wrongly accused role it lacks balance neither heroic comic nor suspenseful br br this could have been a good film i am reminded of the lady which did combine suspense romance and comedy in a serious film dealing with,negative
as an english teacher i appreciate films that do more than tell a story good films like good literature cause one to think reflect and predict this film made me do all three mr takes risks and uses symbolism and interesting turning points for many of his characters i also likes the fact that despite the choices the characters make in the film their choices do not seem as adolescent or as other films i have seen the acting is pretty good and the actors seem to share a good chemistry with each other excellent soundtrack with songs you don't hear on the radio it is a with life spontaneous road trip film that deserves more than just a second glance,positive
this is a film that has garnered any interest or praise it has received simply on the merit of being a lesbian interest piece the performances are mostly compared to better films in the interest genre the entirety of the film's watchable value is garnered through modest suspense over whether and when the family members will say something about their lesbian relationship the best element of the film is likely the beautiful new england scenery although much of the film is set inside it is hard to how any viewer watching this film and not seeking of their lifestyle or wishing to see that of others even through poorly realized drama could appreciate water in any significant way it is a terrible movie,negative

the problem with so many people watching this movie is the mindset they watch it in people come looking for a b grade horror film or a so bad it's good movie jack frost 2 is neither of these br br it is to put it simply a very good movie cleverly hidden inside a very bad one to view it as anything other than a screwball comedy easily funnier than all three absolutely scary movies combined is to the movie on a basic level it would be like watching redemption and then complaining that there were no explosions br br the premise is simple the characters from the first movie haunted by memories of jack frost take a vacation to a island a new improved jack comes after them now with essentially the powers of man from spider man essentially he can turn from water to snow easily and quickly himself himself and worst of all he's managed to grow an to his only former weakness br br what's sad about this movie is that the brain dead fans of the first jack frost a simply horrible movie can't appreciate the change of tone for the sequel just as alien was a horror film and aliens was all about action jack frost was a weak attempt at gimmick horror and jack frost 2 is a cleverly written parody of the gimmick horror genre br br most of the entertainment comes the live action actors who serve admirably particularly funny among them are ray playing a caricature of a retired british colonel from the early christopher offering an insane hilarious spin on his wooden performance from the first film and david allen brooks taking the once serious role of manners to new totally bizarre heights br br the lack of memorable quotes me br br as a horror movie jack frost 2 revenge of the mutant killer snowman rates a zero but you have to understand it's not a horror movie,positive

this movie took me by surprise the opening credit sequence features nicely done animation after that we're into a semi cheesy production its low budget the characters typical american teens are introduced slowly with more personal detail than is usually found in movies like this by the time the hits the fan we know each one of the characters and either like or hate them according to their distinct personalities it's a slow set up kind of like the ride up a of a really tall roller coaster thankfully once the action kicks in it's full blown old school horror steve make up effects are awesome equal in quality to much bigger budgeted films and the scares are kevin delivers his best movie ever with heart stopping surprises and creepy suspenseful set ups the tongue in cheek sometimes cheesy humor marks this film as pure 80s horror as opposed to the tone of earlier genre fare like night of the living dead or hills have eyes but for true horror fans this one is worth checking out play it as the first entry on a double bill with the 1999 remake of house on the haunted hill the set up and character dynamics are so similar that you really have to wonder what film they were actually,positive

the last film by underrated director de martino the the killer is on the phone is a truly suspenseful but neglected giallo containing pretty much all the that makes this italian horror sub genre so magnificent and to the fans there are some very disturbing themes child abuse phony loads of creepy moments plot twists left right outstanding music and – last but not least – a handful of really sadistic murder scenes especially the opening sequence which is some kind of prologue is a powerful piece of horror what is it about ordinary child dolls that make them so creepy when the anonymous man dressed up like a priest a little girl and the broken head of her doll down a flight of stairs it really sent cold through my spine years later the young girl from the prologue is an adult woman bound to a wheelchair she inherited a lot of money but uses her fortune to fellow handicapped people to practice sports and to remain positive minded she – joanna – falls in love with her personal coach and they get married right away naturally he's only after her money and starts joanna by making her the childhood trauma that crippled her the repeated images of a sinister looking priest guided by eerie tunes and a rhyme provide formula for a murder with a ton of genuine scares and de directing is very the acting is quite competent with david the beyond the black cat in a glorious greedy villain role due some plot holes and a lack of originality this movie might not be able to compete with best horror efforts but it definitely deserves more attention many obscure and unknown italian received marvelous dvd releases and hopefully formula for a murder will be given the same treatment really soon in the meantime good luck tracking this baby down,positive

br br great message great symbolism very good movie br br it's hard to go totally wrong with robert mitchum robert young and robert ryan all together as the three male leads and with director edward pulling together a complicated murder and detective yarn that's reason enough to watch it once and even twice br br you might need a second look to fully catch the plot as it is explained too much or shown in flashback also too much because it's a little complicated without good reason but it makes sense overall and we see early on too early probably who the is and even why br br besides the drama well done in typical noir lighting and filled with those short that make post war films dramatic there is the social message the anti anti point of it all it only borders on preachy once or twice and it's such an obviously good point to make we watch it being made and wait for the plot and the dramatic acting to take front row which they do especially young who is a brilliantly and patient detective and ryan who is mean in a crude and angry way ryan is good at that his reasonable mitchum mostly plays a watered down version of what he is famous for and the fourth known acting force gloria is a great brief presence even if slightly br br though the movie is dominated by the sequence of events and by the message both of which grow in force as we go it is really easy to watch just for the lighting camera work and acting including the classic fight scene that opens the first few seconds of the film all done with shadows br br the of soldiers presented is very deliberate and this might be something people at the time were very familiar with and could relate to as much as the anti thread the shell shocked soldier rendered helpless but still capable the modest without confidence but capable too and the weary but able veteran are all there and of course the angry violent soldier who is a product of the war too this last is also a responsibility of society even the army goes all out to make good on the here not just because they are criminal but because they from the wear and tear of a long awful war br br the audience then more than now could really get but it's there to appreciate still,positive
absolutely one of the 10 best music films ever a totally essential educational experience for any music fanatic especially young rock punk fans today understanding the of any particular artistic movement absolutely requires understanding the roots of the music as well as the mindset and musical environment of the times not to mention the political and social factors involved at the time and besides all that this documentary is flat out rock n roll f u n do not miss it that said can anyone tell me when if ever the decline of western civilization part 1 not part 2 the metal version will be made available again hopefully on dvd,positive
skip all the this is a great film reviews and read the imdb trailer or the back the which includes both versions of this flick which i'll to the tune of sci fi score by george the camera goes on a through b movie hell all photographed by will thompson who did 9 from outer you don't know whether to laugh at the film or with it so if you like self produced b or c grade noir wannabe actors and effects with of this could be for you otherwise get a copy of a modern low budget masterpiece,negative
finally a true horror movie this is the first time in years that i had to cover my eyes i am a horror buff and i recommend this movie but it is quite gory i am not a big wrestling fan but kane really pulled the whole monster thing off i have to admit that i didn't want to see this movie my 17 year old dragged me to it but am very glad i did during and after the movie i was looking over my shoulder i have to agree with others about the whole remake horror movies enough is enough i think that is why this movie is getting some good reviews it is a refreshing change and takes you back to the texas chainsaw first one michael myers and jason and no cgi crap,positive
i saw this film at the tender age of 18 with a group of friends its reputation had it and though all my friends were also of legal age i alone had the courage to enter the video store and actually rent it we gathered at a house where the parents had left town for the weekend though we sat in close to each other we did not speak or otherwise acknowledge each other's presence as it turned out the film both and did not merit the shame we felt it did not disappoint in terms of sheer gratuitous content but it disappointed in every other way br br attempts to genres by combining a historical epic with a porn flick it fails miserably in its ambition the audience to the worst of both worlds the film's obvious selling point is its pornographic aspect and it does indeed provide far more than its share of real graphic sex but in setting this sex in the context of reign it the act even less than the average adult movie sex without context might at least be physically for the adults involved but pleasure and perhaps even are largely absent from the world of in it sex at best serves as an and at worst as an of sadistic in the present day it is somewhat common to hear words like sin and used to describe acts which are enjoyable yet considered taboo according to certain moral or religious perspectives takes the viewer beyond the by depicting true and that no joy or pleasure comes from it br br the historical portions not only fail to the sex they fail to entertain intrigue or interest the viewer in any way they only provide lengthy stretches of tedium rarely has a film proved so boring the sex after the initial shock and fades only contributes to the overall of the picture br br rarely do discussions of this film involve its violence while many films more violent than have been made few can rival it in terms of the shock value of its violence as well as hyper sexuality the violence is even less for the faint of heart than the sex br br a review like this will likely generate as much curiosity as it i understand why someone would want to see this film after all i myself to the same curiosity i simply hope that my review by describing its lack of redeeming value will at least give potential viewers the knowledge to make an informed decision about whether to see it or not my high school criminal justice teacher described police work as hours of boredom by moments of sheer terror this statement perfectly describes you have been warned,negative
i saw the second part of this beautiful period piece set on a ship sometime in the 19th century book must be responsible for some of the superb dialogue but everything else was good too i especially liked the way they created the period and feeling of being on the ship so well for me this had a feeling of about it which i know i won't be able to convey in words perhaps it was the way they mixed in technical and historical details about in the hundreds to the story without messing it up was excellent as was the rest of the cast it's not often a mini series sends me to the zone but this one did,positive
i love everything about family guy br br my favourite characters in family are brian and and i like the episodes when it mainly features them such as road to island season 2 as they interact very well the comments they make just have me in behaviour is also very funny as some of the things he does are just so brilliant they're retarded the voice acting is excellent especially seth as he provides the voices for half of the family as well as their perverted glenn and how he manages this range particularly with singing i just don't know he deserves his two for providing the voice of evil baby genius adam west also steals the show with his funny and completely insane regular character the mayor of what i like about chris voiced by seth green is the things he says show that he takes after his father when it comes to intelligence and common sense br br the only thing i have found annoying is that in the uk fox has decided to change the seasons to increase dvd sales which in no way reflect the programme itself but rather the marketing br br if you enjoy family guy then i would thoroughly recommend seth other project american dad which uses a different style of humour but is still extremely hilarious,positive
it's unfortunate that many of the other of this film seem influenced by prior i e anger at the gay characters thinking french thrillers are bad etc i will admit that i'm unfamiliar with the novel but as a film after about 45 minutes i was rolling my eyes hopefully i can explain in writing my complaints enough before i get sick of spending anymore time on this film over the 2 hours of its running length 2 hours that felt like 3 don't get me wrong i can sit through hour and a half silent films 3 hour epics i don't have a short attention span nor am i so jaded by the mtv generation that i cant appreciate a subtle and slowly building film here goes my list of complaints first off the ending yes it had a scooby doo esquire character explains everything at the end now i actually think for this movie this was necessary the film had so many plot twists emotional revelations new facts and being discovered one reviewer said it well yes it is a very logical story but without the very essential back story their childhood stories the relationship amongst the 3 parents the relationship amongst the two and the son of the big man it just doesn't feel right i felt cheated i won't throw in too many spoilers here i could name specific revelations that i thought were unnecessary but according to the reviews on here there's a lot of people who seem to really love this so i don't want to give anything away i personally can't stand soap operas the complexity and twists and turns for me out any impact the final revelations could possibly deliver by the end i seriously didn't care there weren't any plot holes necessarily this seems like it could make a great book in writing it is perfectly logical but if i'm supposed to believe this is reality something doesn't sit right with the pieces that have been inserted too often i felt crucial characters we were never able to get to know were thrown in to further the plot increase the emotion and develop the mystery the acting i had no complaints about the directing eh not bad but the plot and especially its development severely lacking sorry to those that felt this was a perfect thriller but i couldn't get into it i gave this a 3 simply because i don't want to seem completely unfair and it did have moments of slight intrigue and excitement br br major spoiler and i have to mention it but when the father is making his revelation to alexandre and just when you think the plot couldn't fit in another twist your father didn't die in a hunting accident i almost died when was the father at all developed or even really mentioned much in the back story are you serious like the already complex plot involving characters from all the families and their relationship to one another wasn't enough does the protagonist need another emotional more than he has already been fed sorry i had to throw in such a spoiler but that just bothered me as much as i've ever been bothered in any film,negative
first off i would like to make it clear that i subject myself to the viewing of terrible movies i have seen what i thought were the worst of the worst in my mind movies could not get any worse than the likes of d e b s 6 back 2 hood and terror storm until i saw this movie br br the pirate movie without any exaggeration is the worst movie in the world i was informed prior to watching that the movie was indeed awful but i did not believe the believe me when i tell you that this movie is simply an abomination to film br br it starts out with a 3 minute clip of a boat of pirates apparently in the middle of a battle with themselves the end across the screen unfortunately it is not the actual end of the movie the movie is about an nerdy girl named mabel who carries around a ghetto and is attracted to homosexual pirate boys she and has a overly drawn out in which she stars as a scantily dressed who falls in love with who happens to have just out of the ocean he might actually be homosexual the pirate king has a ruby and diamond it and when he it br br there is singing in this movie you might have the impression that this is a hilarious musical it isn't trust me they are the worst songs that you've ever heard and by the end of the first original tune you will be searching for objects to pierce your with br br there are references to other movies in here by references of course i mean obvious rip offs the inclusion of indiana jones inspector and the were in fact anti hilarious br br the dialogue is in its better moments painful to hear the direction is flat out awful and at one point you can see the stunt pad in the scene which isn't very well hidden at all br br in conclusion if there is even the shadow of curiosity in your mind about this movie get rid of it there are times when people want to see how bad something really is but this movie is not worth it put it completely out of your mind and never think about it again if you your mental capacity then i beg of you never ever watch this movie,negative
film starts off great in with a violent bloody fight between dracula christopher lee and van peter cushing dracula is and to dust van also dies somebody and them in the grounds of a church cut to 1972 here's where the film falls apart br br we are instantly hit over the head with loud bad 70s music horrible fashions and silly dialogue when this was made hammer was losing money and decided to try anything to get a hit putting dracula in the 1970s was not a good idea the fashions music and dialogue date the movie horribly we're introduced to a bunch of annoying kids in their who decide to have a black mass for a giggle naturally they have it at the church now abandoned and naturally revive dracula it's a good thing a of van is around but dracula goes after his niece stephanie in revenge br br lee and cushing are great as always in their roles and whenever they're on screen the movie gets a much needed shot of energy the opening and ending battles are the highlights of the film although the ending is spoiled a lot by playing lousy 70s music also the main of the kids is named johnny christopher a truly stupid name that dates back to the 1940s the film also has scream queen caroline looking absolutely great the film is well directed and pretty well acted but the plot is stupid the constant of 70s fashion dialogue and music gets annoying real quick and i was basically bored silly br br most hammer fans agree this was one of the worst dracula movies it's of dracula was the worst and the last hammer dracula film this gets a 2 just for cushing and lee,negative
this is an account of events that have been covered in print several times and i had read two books 'a voyage for and 'the strange last voyage of donald before seeing the film in just before christmas i must say it all expectations in its telling of the 1968 sunday times golden globe race these men set out to do something that had never been done before with no support wooden no satellite phones no and just their wits and skill to get them round the globe in one piece not to mention the months of the southern ocean little sleep and that were often literally falling apart around them br br this documentary is excellently put together in my opinion tightly edited well paced with superb narration the archive footage and the interviews are fascinating and bring the story to life interview footage is especially revealing and moving as she relates the events that led up to her husband donald departure from the doubts and fears in his mind and her reaction as subsequent events br br i was moved and had even shed a tear or two by the time the credits started rolling and other people expressing similar feelings br br the two books i mentioned above are useful for more detail and back story which couldn't have been into the 90 minutes and i would recommend those too br br this is ultimately a true story of human courage and human a must see for anyone interested in adventure human and real life heroes,positive
this is a classic that will be able to hold up with to come simply because of the fact that it is shot with a 70's style and it's a story about the 70's it is funny action filled entertaining and sad at the same time it has the effect to pull you into the lives of these poor folks and the consequences for their actions 4 stars,positive
otto the man with the golden arm is a reference to heroin addiction something that must have been rather to film back in 1955 fifty years ago the censors today still have a problem with drug content in films br br the lead role was originally offered to marlon brando then by frank sinatra before brando could respond sinatra convincingly portrays a pro card dealer and ex heroin addict who returns home to the city only to find himself battling the demons of temptation br br preminger is one of my favorite directors his of a murder starring james stewart is a brilliant and revolutionary courtroom drama preminger pretty much helped change the face of cinema back in the of a murder was extremely controversial when it came out due to both its plot and content references to rape women's seduction etc and the man with the golden arm deals with a topic that is equally br br however preminger pulls it off without becoming exploitative this is like a to the panic in park 1971 and bears more than a few similarities in terms of general to the classic billy wilder movie lost weekend starring ray these three films in particular are probably the best movies about alcoholism the 1980s and still remain relevant today,positive
i have yet to watch 1979 that cheesy italian take on star wars 1977 but it can't be much worse than this piece of junk which suffice it to say makes mel so so 1987 look like a work of art in fact the main reason why is remembered at all nowadays is because of the tragic fate which its leading lady playboy dorothy who was killed by her insanely jealous estranged husband before the film had even had its official premiere br br although who subsequently had two made about her she was portrayed by jamie lee curtis and plays the title role for the first half of the film she is reduced to being up in a chair ostensibly driving a spaceship on a 27 year journey to some planet or other in fact is an all purpose who also serves the wacky crew their gets them all hot under the collar and even goes for the blue star cue music once they land having said that certainly looks in her white and even if her role hardly demands much of any acting talent she might possess it's not exactly either br br still it's ironic that for a film which bears her name she is overshadowed by the campy and would be zany antics of her fellow crew members especially the annoying captain butt which gives you the idea of the level of comedy on display here a long wing sporting colored guy a pot smoking old and best of all relatively speaking a foul mouthed rock eating hairy alien creature they hold prisoner the villain of the piece is a metal clad non who does however have the best laugh in the film when upon hearing the music following his every mention of the blue star what is this s t there is little point in listing the sci fi classics which are by this stinker in its ludicrous attempts at the genre since they are not only lame but obvious incredibly enough a chest but ultimately alien is apparently played by hollywood veteran br br for what it's worth then the scenes shot on the planet they visit which looks more like a western set than a landscape have a sun like and its inhabitants are on their menu include skin and on the rocks baked etc not to mention a motorcycle gang who serve their own particular the and when our heroes escape on the back of it they dare not shoot at them for fear of hitting their lord god awful indeed,negative

why are there so many songs about and what's on the other side poses this relatively simple double near the beginning of the muppet movie while singing his signature song the connection as time goes by the question and the movie only gain br br i'm going to the review of this movie as a children's comedy but look at it instead as a classic for every generation to love with serious ideals and a heartwarming message that more warmth with each passing year br br as the in my own life come up on me i hear more and more the of that and realize that it can fit the soundtrack to anyone's life because we all dream and that is what this movie is about it's not just a bunch of puppets it's a bunch of puppets having the strength to pursue their dreams which is a good lesson for everyone br br and while the humor and of the film always feel good they're not a fair judge of the movie only the connection and the powerful emotions it will realize and it all fits in connection is the muppet movie and vice versa it's meets children's entertainment there's no simpler way to describe it,positive

'the 4th is a decidedly mediocre film starring juliette lewis as a young interior designer with a heck of a problem neighbor jane lewis has recently inherited a terrific floor apartment from her grandmother and per with the gets a ridiculously low renting rate her boyfriend william hurt as a creepy weather man wants her to move in with him but she wants her own space so she moves in and weird stuff starts happening and because this is a b grade horror flick there's a dumb not to be found in reality reason why as the none too intriguing jane keeps trying to tell others her boyfriend the police what's going on everybody thinks she's losing it so of course she has to face the problem the lunatic living right below her alone neither scary nor interesting the movie's single saving grace is lewis she's a very fine actress but poorly used here which is not to say she isn't the best thing about this flick because she is she has charisma and holds the screen better than a dozen of the that this type of movie this type of movie though is not worthy of her which is ironic given that she's probably the only reason anyone would see it,negative
i respect mike and liked get carter immensely for it's bleak but the just seems like a particularly dull drama br br the reserved cold acting isn't just the of the lead character it's spread to the entire cast meaning there is nothing to contrast character with br br none of the characters evoke any kind of feelings at all except boredom the ending of the film is also at best br br the camera work etc is fairly good but if you want to see best watch get carter don't bother with this uninteresting unimaginative through emotions he covered better 20 years ago,negative
oh dear gods this is awful stay away just stay away if you think you've seen bad movies think again never before has my brain hurt as much as it did after i watched this movie the acting if it is allowed to be called that is enough to cause internal inside your head the story is so thin it is just barely there no wait scratch that there is not a complete story there but once in a while there is a few thin lines that stick up from all the amount of and believe me those few lines should have been shot the best way to enjoy this movie is to drop on it and watch the fire from a distance br br some may call me sarcastic in this review but i am only trying to spare some of you of a serious headache however should you be what i like to call a visual like myself please go right ahead and watch this monstrosity,negative
i live and work in kentucky the town where zombie planet was filmed i'd heard about the film forever ago from various people who claimed to be a critical part of the production then for several years i heard absolutely nothing imagine my surprise when i found it sitting all by itself at the local video store just for a rental so being the that i am i decided to give these local filmmakers a shot br br bad idea br br zombie planet is overlong boring poorly acted miserably shot and that's just the good stuff i tried my hardest to enjoy it which included my brain and setting it on the table so that it wouldn't get in the way of the horrible storyline alas nothing worked zombie planet is so bad it's pathetic and the very idea that they're planning a sequel leads me to believe that the director and his henchmen have listened to none of the criticisms i'm sure they've heard move on you guys please in fact from film making altogether or attend a few classes on pacing storytelling and well basic direction br br otherwise for the love of god hang it up,negative
well i just discovered imdb from my twin sister carol carol and i played the fat identical twin in midnight madness we didn't have to prepare much for the fat part that came with us and well and the rest was natural it was our first major film role and we had a blast making it we were 21 at the time and lived about an hour and half from the disney studio in and the hollywood california area we grew up in front of the tv and probably some of the first generation of key kids twenty years later we still have lots of fun and are still or what ever is politically correct these days we don't pursue acting any more but have been know to when the right opportunity arrives carol is a in our home town of southern california and i am in the information technology field in georgia br br i maybe bias but i thought the film was cute clean and fun we knew it wasn't a master piece or an oscar however it was and still is a movie the whole family can watch and have fun together it's nice not to have to worry if your young children can watch a video without having to fast forward certain parts and no one was more when it was released on video as carol and i were carol found it at for 6 99 now that's an way to capture one's memories and share it with others br br sincerely and carol the thompson twins,positive

leonard directed star trek iii which wasn't half bad maybe william shatner thought seeming as how did it he could after seeing this film he should have that decision br br star trek v the final frontier is the worst in the series the acting from all involved and that includes those like shatner and is bad and washed out and making them seem as old as they look in real life the special effects are tacky like when spock has to rescue kirk on a jet pack when he falls down from a mountain br br the attempts at humor were pitiful and story is so awful it bear thinking about which basically involves a stealing the enterprise to find god seriously i just didn't care about any of this film and oh not to mention does a belly dance to distract male guards she looked like she was taking part in a competition if they meant to make her look sexy they were wrong she looked grotesque br br how this got to production or even written well it bear thinking about the only place good for this film is in the garbage the worst one of the series,negative
this is a film that in no way reflects the real world nothing in this film makes any real world sense or has any real world logic it entirely in its own little world and your ability to accept it or not will determine your love or hate for this film br br i love the film br br somewhere at the very beginning i bought into the completely unreal premise of the hit woman her memory as the past comes back to haunt her there was a moment early on where i remember accepting that this was going to be one of those movies where the heroine was going to know nothing until it was needed despite all logic that it wouldn't happen that way oh its one of those films i said to myself and was hooked as the film took off on a wild two hour chase br br this is an action film with brain and as things follow there own internal logic and you actually have to pay attention to follow some of the twists and turns i like this a great deal and am pleasantly surprised when i into people who feel the same way too people either love it or hate it if they've ever heard of it at all br br if you like action films this is a film to definitely try you may not like it but it certainly worth the effort to find out br br and as always leave reality at the door,positive
although this film changes reality to make it more heroic and entertaining sometimes fantasy is more enjoyable than real life and also nothing could be more real than errol flynn playing this remains the best film made about the music of max is magnificent and also all through the film the irish song owen which was a favourite of is played the film should have more villains because they try to concentrate all the bad guys in arthur kennedy the relationship between flynn and de flows like in no other off their films together and director walsh with his experience in outside scenes with a lot of actors is at his best,positive
where do we go from here that is the question of this film and make no mistake etc ' the 2003 effort from director john asks far more questions than it answers but none so or so as this one br br much of the the film plays like a running conversation between you and your college drinking buddies and i'm sure many of the questions raised by the main characters you'll recognize from your own of drunken however one of the many of this film is that we are rarely given an answer questions are raised – everything from the mundane to the profound – but forces his audience to examine and answer these questions ourselves with little to no help from the characters br br side 1 opens with an increasingly complex and beautifully of non linear segments to introduce us to the main characters we meet them on the morning of april 8 1994 – the day kurt committed suicide and it is the death of and the journey to his wake two days later in seattle that serve as the backdrop for the film in exploring life music and death the characters attempt with varying degrees of success to understand and come to terms with their own lives br br there are some aspects of the film that are what you might expect from a low budget indie film the performances range from decidedly mediocre to outstanding with the strongest performances coming from jessica scott holly and wood daniel some of the dialogue is admittedly a bit stiff but never completely into the unreal and there are some minor sound problems particularly once we get on the road that make it difficult at times to follow the action on screen br br but despite its shortcomings etc ' is a solid deeply affecting piece of cinema amid moments of haunting laugh out loud humor and intimate turmoil weaves all of the character threads together and their own struggles while at the same time making them accessible and engaging for us and because we can see of ourselves in one or more of these characters we can identify with the questions and issues they're struggling with and we're able to look back and remember where we were on that day in 1994 when for many people the world changed br br while takes credit for the writing editing and direction of the film kudos must be given to his photography as well with an uncanny eye and amazing ability to capture and draw us into each of the characters' worlds managed to produce shot after shot after shot that stuck with me long after the credits rolled br br and no review of this film would be complete without a nod to the amazing soundtrack the music in this film is used to amazing effect at times subtly the action at other times taking center stage but never getting in the way or into music video the soundtrack plays like the ultimate greatest hits though i suspect that label would probably not sit very well with the director br br the new double dvd archive edition offers some deleted scenes trailers music videos and a documentary the deleted scenes offer some insight into the making of the film through alternate opening and closing sequences and it's certainly a treat to have the rare and beautiful kind video the documentary is fine if a bit worse for wear and certainly more extensive documentaries are available for the hardcore fans absent is a director commentary and i can't help but wonder if has plans to re release this at some point with that tasty attached br br suffice to say that the next time you're looking for a strong piece of work from a talented filmmaker i recommend you get on board,positive

it's the one film i almost walked out of and would have if my friends hadn't been in the movie theatre with me normally even if i don't like a film i think it's still worth sitting through it to the end that way you can really claim to have given it every chance to redeem itself but with the million dollar hotel it was so dreadful i just badly wanted the experience to end as quickly as possible i think i probably would not have been so disappointed if this film had been made by a lesser director one i didn't normally like so much but coming from it was all the more shocking to behold i know from a good friend of wrote the script to this abysmal film and i wonder why let him as buddy buddy as the two may have been stick to the day job is a sentence that easily springs to mind whilst viewing this mess pretentious disjointed a mash of every possible contemporary film stereotype a naive and transparent attempt at coming across as and daring with the most irritating characters i have ever set eyes upon especially the leads jeremy davies and mel gibson none of whom i dislike normally the ending i could have wished for would have been for a nuclear bomb to be dropped on their collective heads so as to get it all over with as soon as possible on a positive note the first five minutes of the film are extremely good with an extremely stirring soundtrack from but the film's opening shots make the rest of the film which takes a spectacular nose dive from then on all the more disappointing as they are a promise of cinematic quality that's just never delivered not even close,negative
this great tv movie told of the 1975 murder of martha in by a nephew of kennedy the use of the ghost of martha to provide some of the details was very effective and added a lot of heart to the story christopher seemed to capture the personality of mark very well who got so much bad publicity in the o j simpson trial has certainly himself by his contribution of bringing the killer to justice after about 27 years,positive
what about dj cash money this film fails in part by not covering the mid to late 80s there was only a small mention of dj cheese in br br also it's not,positive
this movie was nothing like the book br br everything was mixed up or changed most of the movie was things that weren't even in the book br br this movie never should have been viewed it was a great disappointment to me when i enjoyed the book so much and then to watch how this movie the entire thing br br i would never recommend this movie to anyone that is a fan of nora roberts or j d br br honestly this movie is not worth watching with how off from the book is really is,negative
just getting released from a six month drug program and having served his time for dealing cards in illegal gambling card games frankie machine frank sinatra has high hopes for going clean and finding a new life as a big band drummer however upon returning to his old crime ridden chicago neighborhood he soon finds the pressure from those around him including his wheelchair ridden wife parker to return to the old money making dealer lifestyle that first got him started on the path of self destruction that is being an heroin addict br br it's very rare that a film has so many great character performances as this one does frank sinatra is superb as frankie machine and realistically portrays the of a drug addict going through arguably better than anyone else had ever been done before him sinatra seems to possess a keen understanding and awareness of his character here and expresses the constant battle for control over his own life that is forever going on inside the heart of the man that is frankie machine parker as his crippled wife wants to possess frankie forever to have him deal to make good money so as to take care of her and pay her ever medical bills she seems terrified by anything she sees as a threat to her control over him such as the freedom the life of a drummer might offer or anything that might change the status between them br br molly kim novak a girl who lives in the same building and seems to possess real strong genuine feelings for frankie having no desire to control him but only to help him proves the best thing frankie has going for him in the world if he can just stay straight long enough to wake up and realize it darren as the heroin drug however is always there just waiting in the wings knowing just the right buttons to push just the thing to say to get a former addict to back to that old habit one to but deadly for the addict br br the setting too seems to take on a life of its own constantly dark gritty seedy and crime ridden with nowhere near enough positive things to look forward to in life a place where it's all too easy to escape via a bottle or drugs a quick fix that's truly no fix at all but only works to keep one in the dark away from the daylight and all the bright the world might have to offer it's a neat touch that when frankie is on the right track the setting always seems than when he's headed down the wrong road while some argue it is a bit dated to me this is a gritty film featuring a realistic inner war within a man for control over his own fate one that features very strong character performances by all involved given that the man with the golden arm gets my highest possible recommendation,positive
great movie about a great man thomas is first rate as in all of his other movies i would never have him as john paul it speaks volumes for the casting director why do they keep casting him as german officer in the movies and he only came to universal attention after the of course he looks so hot in the uniforms i know a lot of girls over his handsome face but this guy is a great actor and has such great if you don't believe me go watch i hope he will get a lot of excellent roles in the future with more diversity otherwise what a heartbreaking waste of great talent,positive
you get an hour and a half of i have to save the world action all the way one liners and a woman somewhere in the this time he plays a guy who help people in the witness protection program to quote the cover of the movie he their past to save their future this have to be cool i bet younger people will like it though but it is a little over the top for my taste and the one liners are really something else and i don't mean that in a good way after killing a crocodile he manage to say you're if you are in the right mood you may enjoy the movie and as far as action go this is not very bad but almost before the movie starts you know exactly what is going to happen but if you like these kind of movies you will probably enjoy this one i rate this movie 4,negative
during production this series was titled to the a title that everyone on set at the time thought was cheesy enough then word came through that it had been for the as if this the addition of this new word would evoke heavy meanings involving the relationships and aspirations of the characters this same heavy handed lack of subtlety and understanding is clear throughout the very fabric of the entire series and the same tired and boring love triangle storyline is actually stretched out over 7 episodes any television program that decides to use the storyline for even a single episode is pushing it but to it over seven episodes is unforgivable there are reasons to watch however with the scenery of the of certainly providing a beautiful setting and the seemingly performance of hitting all the right comedy marks this however is not enough a number of performances are noticeable especially when placed against the static and which jonathan refers to as his face i have already mentioned in the role of yes thats as far as character development and back story goes but i was impressed by the actor maurice who is by far the most experienced actor in the cast having appeared in everything from classic movies such as richard what a lovely and 'the eagle has and tv including city the bill cheers doctor who in the 80s star trek and even going to hollywood with stallone in judge whose performance reminded me very much of actual teachers i have met often incapable men whose lives are with a very sad streak it is refreshing to see that is still getting work having also appeared in the 1998 british film 'the acid and even more recently alongside the wonderful maria and sean bean in 'the the standout reason to watch this series even though his appearances are very few another actor who tries his hardest to elevate the program is ben miles in the role of the sex mad man' brother once again what an original character as with the says it all after this miles has since appeared in the hollywood movie for and the 2001 star film 'the affair of the alongside brian cox christopher walken and jonathan unfortunately the fairly capable actors i have mentioned are to relatively small roles in comparison to the dramatic that is and todd both of whom seem to have been in for too long and haven't yet learned to act even the tolerable frances grey is made to suffer in the presence of such and unfortunately for her the lasting memory i have of her from the set is of the ad asking for another take of a relatively complex shot because during the take she her out of her crack ' familiar faces appear in each episode child actors from programs and dramas such as point 4 and other from commercials such as mr ben's they'll remember me for this 'the and others that i don't even want to remember each episode tries to with such as teenage and rocket building things that hill was doing better when my parents were young overall this series was a disappointment and a wasted opportunity to craft a genuinely interesting and well developed drama series unfortunately for them they took the easy route both in the writing and for the most part in the casting i would recommend both and 'the to fans of good drama the latter in particular which managed to achieve this if you like the of don't for the reach for the holiday instead it probably contains more character development,negative
there is one that describes everything about this film acting plot effects continuity etc and that word is poor the government wants to the effects of space travel on certain but the capsule crashes and a mutant something or other looks like a guy in an ape suit with the top of a football helmet over his face havoc around the accident scene which includes a favorite place for the window set therefore some young people as well as a law officer are among the victims you gotta be extremely about how you spend your time or rich if you spend any money to view this epic,negative
a very enjoyable french film this film has many twists and turns in the plot and is superb i have found that when i lend this dvd out to a friend it seems to do the rounds before getting back to me it is really all about a man making sure he finds the right girl to settle down with,positive
americans next top model is the best reality show i was entertained 99 9 percent of the time watching it i kept my eyes open the entire time well i did blink it can be sad funny or mostly america's next top model kept me wanting more and that's pretty much the point it is also on more that one channel sometimes it's on mtv other times it's not i hope it gets more fans and grows to be a hit series it's great for pretty much all ages so every can enjoy it br br also if you watched the show before haven't you noticed that has a different hair style each time in the judging room she'll have it short and curly one week and then long and straight the next,positive
have to agree that this movie and it's talented director do not receive the they deserve here's hoping that the dvd will do very well and bring both to the attention of a wider audience the actors gave excellent performances and the plot is excellent perhaps overall the movie is a little long but may miles thomas seems to enjoy her actors when they are giving strong performances and therefore sometimes holds them in longer close ups than necessary good for the actors i am sure but sometimes as the audience you are ready to move on so to speak with the plot may miles thomas deserves more recognition from the film business as one of our foremost digital movie directors,positive
ok this simply is the worst movie ever made period horrible acting sets and music ok everything sucks in this movie i almost forgot the special effects are great also so if you like bad movies watch this it can surely make you laugh,negative
is the kind of girl i would marry never boring always thinking positively good with animals okay as one reviewer wrote a bit too much and only madonna could get away with that but that's why i love she's not your ordinary girl she makes things happen always exciting to be around and always honest sure she steals but she doesn't rob or murder unless you're out to do her in she knows which rules can be broken and which ones should be she knows what to take and what can't be stolen if you need a favor from her she's in 100 bottom line she knows how to enjoy life is always loving which is why she has a way with wild animals and completely dedicated to those she loves and who love her br br who's that girl she's the girl for me,positive
i saw this last night in in general it was funny and i liked the characters especially sabrina the acting is good and the story line was ok except for the ending which left way to many strings and we were like what i wanted to know what happened to the characters and it was a strange ending that could have been done so much better br br the film did portray rule life really well and we laughed throughout it has flaws that is for sure but for a first time film for ash christian i thought it was good you might want to wait for the dvd on this one but if you get a chance to see it give it a shot,positive
certainly not a great show but better than most other sitcoms out there at the moment it reminds of shows like married with children and as they go to places not dealt with in sitcoms it's sometimes funny even if you ignore the laugh tracks but not rip roaring hilarious br br some of the characters are pretty funny the gay friend and some of the other drop ins this is also one of the few shows where the characters sorry for the butchered spelling actually is effective and funny br br is this an all in the family or seinfeld type show absolutely not however it is certainly better than a show like probably the worst tv show of any type out at the moment br br oh and the mom is not too bad looking and the character is a little,positive
perhaps once in a generation a film comes along that is perfection for me the children is that film a timeless classic that was directed and performed most beautifully it depicts all that is worthwhile in humanity and in the conquest of love and faith over cruel injustice every performance is a gem though stands out and like judy garland as dorothy before her jenny makes it impossible for us to imagine anyone else in the role br br the world is all the better for this film and the children of today would be much the better for watching it br br of course like so many young men of my generation i fell hopelessly in love with jenny and her hold was as strong when i had the great good fortune to meet her a few days ago the smile and voice like dripping honey were still there to send me weak at the knees as they first did all those years ago,positive
i saw the movie hoot and then i immediately decided to comment it the truth is that nature needs protection from us because we are the of this planet some people think that if they have money they can do whatever they want to which probably is like but if they think about the future more then they think about themselves they would do something useful this movie is not just about kids this movie is showing us that the kids are usually the ones that care more about it then the adults do when i was twelve i saw some and i knew they are by law and didn't even dare to touch them not of the law but that i might harm them actually i am currently 15 what so ever the acting was great the 3 main characters are well interpreted and we all have to learn from them i hope you all think about what you saw in that movie and enjoy,positive
this movie is all about entertainment imagine your friends that you love spending time with the ones that you know inside out becoming a bit silly and perhaps taking on a character or two that's what this film is about an inventive script and brilliantly performed it's not about pleasing the masses with this one it's about having fun with a bunch of brilliantly talented people which is what i'm sure they all thought when they signed up for it br br the above review sounds completely unfair and i think that the person who wrote that was in the wrong frame of mind when they watched the film in a lighthearted moment there is great dignity in it if you care to look br br a job well done i thought it was a great film i'd watch this before the north american norm any day br br in a nutshell it's not the best film you're ever going to see but it has a hell of a lot of moments i haven't laughed that long in an age,positive
let me start off by saying i love japanese cinema literature and culture generally i've seen many japanese movies and enjoyed them but portrait of hell aka makes itself ridiculous the two characters who dominate the action the evil lord in his bubble and the stubborn crazy artist are pure types with zero subtlety or nuance and all their actions from cartoonish extremes the film wants to show horrible scenes of violence and raw emotion but many of these scenes are so over the top they actually become laughable and the overall feeling is that of a made for tv movie that went off the if this rarely screened movie falls in your hands or comes to your town spare yourself and give it a pass,negative
okay here's the deal there's this american pilot who's flying along his own business when suddenly he's by evil cowardly non american fighter planes they're middle eastern types but suffice to say they don't like apple pie or elvis who proceed to shoot him down now this american pilot was doing nothing wrong but those evil non americans didn't care and before you know it he's up in a foreign jail and sentenced to death br br now what would normally happen here is that the us military would carpet bomb a couple of nearby towns until the pilot was released but not this time those evil peace types probably got involved and managed to stop any kind of massacre as you can imagine this doesn't please the family and the evil foreign dictator has this smug look about him he'll make those americans pay oh yes indeed br br but he didn't on doug masters the captured pilots 16 year old son you see doug has been able to fly a plane longer than he can drive a car which can't be that long and decides to fly into that evil foreign country and get his dad back so with the help of his friends doug and his retired pilot doug a two man air raid on the br br now you'd think that this plan would be bound to fail but you'd be wrong sure those middle eastern types might be all veteran pilots but got an ace up his he to rock music when he flies after shooting down a dozen or so enemy planes and blowing up an oil doug lands at an airport and gets his now wounded dad the plane understandably the evil not quite so smug anymore dictator gets quite annoyed at these antics and takes to the himself in to shoot down doug but the young to some more rock music and blows the villain out of the sky br br after doug and have shot down 90 of their air force the send up their last few planes in a rather poor attempt to shoot doug down but in the nick of time a flight of us turn up and scare them away br br i cannot recommend this film enough it was the first ever movie that i brought and until i was twenty i kept hoping that my dad would get shot down over a foreign country so that i could rescue him but he's doesn't like flying so it didn't happen,positive
this is a bottom of the barrel type of b film from one of the poverty row studios in the mid the kind that filled out a double bill br br only reason i watched was to see what jackie was like in a leading role as a page boy at a radio station who attempts to solve a murder he played phil in gone with the wind only two years earlier and this was one of his last teen aged roles he's no mickey rooney br br the script is as hapless as the production values and is full of cliché ridden situations with a cast of uniformly individuals is the girl who is discovered by a radio producer and sidney miller is the nerdy friend of the hero who's afraid of his own shadow br br mercifully it's over in an hour when the murder is solved after a round up of all the suspects terribly the only quiet performance of any interest is given by jon as the cowboy but he bites the dust after too brief an appearance br br there are several songs but all of them are forgettable as are the lame jokes and dialog,negative
first the easy part this movie is pretentious br br it put me in mind of and then i thought wow somebody made a movie even dumber and more irritating than br br i know nothing about the polish brothers but this film seems to have been made by someone who learned a lot in film school but knows nothing about storytelling the trite plot elements and symbolism are bad enough but the dialogue is just pathetic br br detailed comments would just be a list of failure the parts that are supposed to be funny or satirical are not the parts are nice coffee table pictures with mediocre music the emotional parts are simplistic br br the worst thing is that the movie shows no love at all for the characters except for a little dignity in the priest br br i still can't believe the respect some people have given this picture,negative
terrible the only way i could even begin to consider it funny is if it made fun of itself amazing it's about an ass that fights crime and he drinks how very funny it's funny because where most people put things in their mouth he puts them in himself and now he's getting sexual service from some lady this show is so great that is what i would have to say if i liked the show though i'm sure you can see the obvious sarcasm i've noticed some people have been comparing this show to 12 oz mouse and why would you even try there's nothing to compare the other two shows actually have some decent character development in conclusion i hate i at the name of it,negative
i watching this program as a young boy in australia in the 60s and enjoyed it on dvd again as a 50 year old father of young kids although the bad guys are mostly shallow characters and there is a of violence i am very happy to have my 6 and 8 year old kids watch this because the central characters are deep kind and the japanese culture shines through the violence is not gory nobody in it and the program is beautiful to watch it does not promote nightmares but instead it shows much of the culture that must have primarily influenced the design of jedi knights in star wars br br the quality of the dvds does leave something to be desired video will not like this one it is strongly reminiscent of something held on film and projected onto the wall in some basement which it may well be the soundtrack is also lacking in the quality we have come to expect from home theatre however my kids noticed only that it was not in colour and i suspect they only noticed that because we had been talking recently about how old things are often like that the beauty of is evident even in b w something about the century setting makes the quality part of the atmosphere as if you into the past through some time window br br overall this program is better than most things on the air and a far better for japanese tv than pokemon but you may consider it of value if you did not have the experience of seeing it back in the 60s my score of 8 10 takes its age into account,positive
set in a california camp in an future an english film crew capture proceedings as young students and political are put on trial under a fictional that allows the united states government to suspend civil liberties for its own citizens in cases of without the right to or the necessity of evidence in such cases the government is to and anyone they believe may engage in future activities of the group on trial includes a feminist a black and a folk singer br br those convicted by the a conservative have the choice of a lengthy prison sentence or three days in punishment park in which they can their freedom by reaching an american flag in the desert they must accomplish this without food or water they are also to be pursued by armed national guards and police who can return them to the camp if captured to face the sentence attributed to each person convicted the reality is different those that choose punishment park are hunted and killed or with no hope of gaining their freedom after a policeman is found dead in the park the park seems to be a training ground for the police and guards who need to master these acts of so they can be put to use in open american society br br shot on and in the documentary style developed by in his celebrated and the controversial the war game for the bbc he with the prisoners and guards and the trial inter cutting between them to create a totally convincing political movie that still remains vital and relevant using his knowledge of the medium has produced a driving relentless and ultimately frightening film portrayal of an entirely fictional american political camp that would not convince if it wasn't for his flawless construction many of the actors are amateurs with broad characters the sparks fly in the trial scenes in which each case is heard in part to the fact that kept those on trial away from the jury until the filming of those scenes also claims that the actors are often expressing their own opinions which certainly explain the as well as the believability of their performances br br the film has been heavily for the opinions of those that see it it has been claimed that the film is and represents that and war are the root of america's social problems while these criticisms may be valid it is important to consider that the film is working on a fictional level and it is perhaps the realism that the film so cleverly that encourages such a opinion on its content in fact the films most important theme is the problem of itself the judges and brutal law officers are on one side and the are clearly on the other with no made on either side this seems to be what the movie is really about the new law and the park itself is the of a situation where between the two political positions has been lost br br made during and in protest to the vietnam war and the treatment of those who opposed the war in america the films main themes of of its own citizens and on civil liberties still strike the same in the era of the act and the identity card it also strikes a disturbing with news footage of bay and the treatment of prisoners at the hands of allied forces br br the threat of internal is such a issue that the film cannot fail to connect with current attitudes to the subject not surprisingly the film has had a distribution history being to an extreme due to its content but the disturbing fact that this movie is that can still remain so relevant today suggests that the wait has not been for nothing punishment park is a film that has had to fight to be seen anywhere and it demands your attention,positive
just got back from seeing black snake i had spent time reading reviews most seemed to focus on the obvious skinny white girl to a black man's i hate when critics miss the point of a film now i suppose it helps that i live in and have lived in a couple of times too it may also help that i am the former director of the blues museum in but i get this movie simple redemption tale is easy to follow and could have had various themes to tell the story but i believe it is highly effect as a blues it would be my hope that people don't read all the hype and or various reviews and miss a really good movie get past the various things like skinny girls in white get past justin timberlake accept his character which he plays very well get past snakes on a plane and see how samuel l jackson is as he has transformed himself into a very believable mid south blues man if you know little about mid south culture a lot of what goes on may strike some as cartoonish but accept the fact that craig knows how to paint the and let the actors tell the story and you will enjoy this film not one to tell endings so go see this movie and yes i will agree with one thing the critics got right the music is wonderful,positive
i bought the dvd to get julia well i got that in she was lovely in the romantic scenes too bad bill paxton was flying on for the whole effort i almost lost my lunch when he popped his big fat white behind out of his flight suit to shall we say with julia br br i realized julia was very in french while watching her in i watched with the french soundtrack to see if julia dubbed her own dialog they used someone else in any case julia was chosen for this dutch film over a native french with sufficient english to communicate with the american perhaps they wanted at least one familiar name for the british american market to my unfamiliar eye features could pass for br br the whole film had an odd nature it was a dutch film about in world war 2 i would imagine that national pride would have required a theme of heroic dutch resistance to the german the were much more passive during the period than were the french or the most savage fighting of all came in the where communist gave the germans fits br br i noted in another review that believed julia to be an american instead of the actual british perhaps acting skills were great enough to carry off that impression br br after watching this film several times it suddenly on me how out of season the film is it is set on 16 1944 when the american plane crashes in farm country the trees look to be in mid fall with lots of leaves and the weather is warm people walk about in light clothing and the grass is still green there is not the smallest trace of snow or ice this must have been the winter in ever br br the actual plot of the film was a mess where to begin for anyone interested in world war 2 history the film came across as farce the plane used was a huge 4 engine converted such aircraft did exist but they would have required massive fighter to have any chance of survival in reality smaller and aircraft were readily available and would have been far more suitable for the task the vital code books in the film would never have been carried on the plane the crew had no need of this information to complete their mission while compromise of this information would have been a huge intelligence defeat even given the premise of the film the first items to be stripped from the aircraft would be the code books they would have been on their way to berlin within 10 minutes of the arrival of german troops at the crash site br br the home where took was a farm where no one had the least interest in food would have been very in at this time the germans would have required substantial of produced food to support their forces the family truck would have been long before the arrival of the american there would not have been any fuel available to run it anyway br br the plot twist where turns in the american out of jealousy is pathetic he would have had to reveal all he knew about the resistance in order to be allowed to live he would have had to function as a double agent to any effective opposition the woman with the secret radio would have never survived the war br br was caught in clothing toward the end of the film that made him a spy under the laws of war and for execution with no defense he would not have to face by the convention better to force them to kill him and spare his friends if possible br br i have not read the novel upon which this film is based if this film is a faithful adaption it shows an abysmal lack of development in the novel regardless of the novel the screenwriters could easily have produced a superior script that would not waste this opportunity to deliver a much better film,negative
hollywood has out yet another garbage that's wildly and on a first time viewing basis is bad terrible inept lame idiotic contrived laughable and utterly atrocious no pun intended minor spoilers follow br br this movie has huge logic holes more than any bruckheimer bay movie or for that matter any movie that the of hollywood exaggeration it's a slick hollywood production designed to cash in on directed by so somber he takes this way too seriously hack director scott and produced by a hack italian producer with an ego whose is doesn't matter whether film is s t money is good br br i can't get over the fact that acclaimed screenwriters david mamet and steven wrote this tripe adapted from a lame and pretentious book by a good novelist turned hack author thomas harris david and steven well known and immensely talented screenwriters wasted their effort on a poor screenplay in exchange for fat another factor in the disappointment of this film br br there are too many ludicrous scenes to list that are laughable in clunky execution and poor logic e g cell phone in the midst of pursuit that turns up inspector as the victim not to mention laughably bad dialogues delivered by tony hopkins with a and moore ray liotta and others who cannot act with the straight face hopkins gives the true meaning of scenery chewing along with hammy acting by gary as a psychopath bent on revenge against br br the gore effect is good but only serves to rather than provide suspense which is notably absent from the predecessor silence of the is more believable with tension and suspense suspense is what made silence of the work as a spectacular mix of psychological horror and thriller not to mention superbly written and directed the brain dinner sequence is so laughably fake it borders on self parody br br the ending is kinda blatant and idiotic are we supposed to believe that is still a menace to society with the last shot establishing his eye glaring at you scary br br,negative
did someone find the plot somewhere in the film perhaps it is the thing missing in this pretentious exercise of cinema about cinema it is quite surprising that gordon says that a movie without a plot is nothing it is possible that characters have more to say that the own was this phrase in the original plot or the actor decided to send a hint to the director,negative
to be fair i couldn't bear to watch this movie all the way thru so i have no idea if it suddenly gets better half way thru the film but the first 30 minutes or so are amongst the worst i have seen in a while children under twelve might get a kick out of the poorly written acted and directed slapstick humor but adults in full control of all their should steer clear of this stinker,negative
this is a great movie a must own i really liked every aspect of it from the sword fighting the romance the costumes were really well done and put together the scenery is absolutely beautiful i also loved the mystery and magic also the message of the power of love that love is the greatest power there is i really like the heart of the king in the sense that he desires peace instead of the bloodshed and hate i wish that i could live in a world like that with flying ships to in the sky i also think that it was really nice how they brought the animals into the movie i also thought that the cook was really funny i have watched it many times in one day and still never tire of it just wish they would bring it onto a dvd,positive
this failed exercise in satire or commentary on the human condition easily earned a place as one of the 10 worst movies i've ever seen i'm seriously considering buying a copy if i can find one dirt cheap to chase away company it's honestly that bad i view it as some kind of anti weapon if you're the kind of person who just has to see a train wreck to witness the carnage then this movie is a gem just to be fair character has 1 line that almost works but doesn't quite other than that everything in this movie to be insightful but misses the mark by approximately the distance between earth and the nearest pair of i usually can appreciate a book or movie where the protagonist suffers from some sort of existential angst but the angst presented here is so unbelievable and over the top and the movie doesn't even address the nonsense it presents in any valuable way if you are familiar with the term word vomit then you may get some picture of the oh and the narrative structure is ill conceived pretentious and amateurish it has failed on both style and substance if you really hate someone invite them over for a double feature of this movie and the terror of tiny town an all midget western from the 1930's and put them in with their eyes forced open a clockwork orange style but that probably some in the conventions,negative
this film is what most of the industry has forgotten how to make family entertainment meaning something which is enjoyable to people of all ages this particular wallace can be enjoyed by everyone from who like the colors and cute to their grandparents who understand the adult references br br this film has direction as good as any i've ever seen and i mean that literally it is also packed with tiny bits of humor and each scene has so many humorous details in the background that i'm going to have to buy it if only in order to read all the signs and in w world br br i plan to see this movie at least twice more in theaters then buy it on dvd you too should see it,positive
my friend took me to a screening of this movie in hollywood and it was awesome it's a film noir with amazing acting great script cool music the whole thing was very well done and entertaining don't know if it is getting a release in theaters but this would be a great date movie or a fun movie to rent if you see it at blockbuster this is the kind of movie i love low on budget but big on style and imagination i hope alexandra gets more big parts like she has in this one she is fantastic,positive
i had a great time watching a couple of back somewhat for most of the film its pretty much a two showing the games and weird relationship of crazy doctor and stunning i'd seen her before in a couple of fulci films dying gruesome deaths but here she is young hip and beautiful the film is pretty predictable and certainly mild on the exploitation front but entertaining throughout too its marvellous colourful feel the set design music lighting and cinematography are all classic late sixties italian style a surreal feast for the eyes and ears and though the general thread of the plot is not too difficult to there are more than enough unusual events and bizarre sights and sounds to keep things interesting throughout both leads are pretty good and it bears repeating that is really really fine the music by is too perfectly suited to the images director has come up with quite a cracker here but its not perfect though very there's little substance here and the exploitation elements are about as mild as can be i guess this gives it a sort of charm and innocence but i can't help thinking that the subject matter could have done with more sleaze more threat that sorta thing especially since its pretty simple to figure whats going to happen this is i suspect a bit pointless for stronger exploitation fans and certainly not for people wanting sex or much nudity its more of a light fun pop art affair lovable but like bubble bath recommended mainly for those fond of the 60's or sweet set designs,positive
at a time when hollywood thinks that faster and are better from heaven is comedic and touching look at something we've all thought about what would i do if a load of money fell from the sky br br interestingly it took the characters many years to realize that the money hadn't made a single difference in their lives they all become what they were destined to be unfortunately in most cases what they became was unhappy in spite of their good fortune all those years ago br br while offers the familiar hollywood storyline of good vs evil or in the case vs greed what sets this film apart is that good wins out by evil not by it br br i think the important message of this film is that you can change the world even if you do it one person at a time,positive
i'm currently through and decline of the roman empire so i've had all things roman on my mind i'm not very far into it yet maybe two hundred plus pages but it is amazing just how many of these roman were killed i believe i've read through maybe 15 so far and only and haven't been killed or at least suspected of having been killed i have also been fascinated by the mad of many of these of rome not the least of these was this brings me to reviewing this film i'm thinking of the film on a historical basis as far as i understand it from explanation of rome as well as other research from some good web sites and some fiction novels with the period br br my point is i do not think that this film is what it is thought to be by many of it's i do not think the shown with the sex and horrendous violence of this film qualify it as accurate the general ideas of the film seem accurate is raised on an island with his family and in content fear of being murdered by the increasingly mad suspicious and strange emperor he grows up paranoid and afraid and can never shake the given him by his guards little boots this helps him grow up feeling abused and he is handed the empire after dies the hoping he will steer away from the informer which brought death by of the former paranoid and lead rome away from the madness that dictator had settled it into begins as a decent if hands off emperor but gets sick almost dies and comes back from the brink of death a true monster his with his sisters do begin here if not before he does have killed and many others who were his originally supporters the acts of madness seemed not to be the murders of as much as his new thinking of himself as a living god him seen talking to the statue of as an equal doomed him his violent mad would have doomed him anyway and three years seems to have been quite a decent run for the of well the film basically sticks to these lines while it manages to be coherent which is not common through it's entirety it does so while trying to shock the audience at all turns in every single scene the film begs you to be disgusted by the of ancient rome the shocking scenes are what this film is built entirely upon and where it entirely fails it is just too much to see have man after man murdered raped tortured for no reason but fancy the depictions of the violence are possibly but not probably accurate murder certainly was the order of the day in rome torture beforehand was but the director's visions of these deaths and the bored amusement of their protagonists while the watch with i just don't see it having gone down exactly like that the death machine the is certainly something like you've never seen in movies and something once seen you shall probably never forget even as i you wish you could the wine drinking while the penis is off is the same once you've seen this shame it is yours forever these things strike me the director's and that porn fantasies they from their sick and not from any proved record br br the acting is pretty good i actually think mcdowell is the weakest link here is always something to behold and here in her youthful years she is and beautiful the portrayals of and are done very well by their respected actors the film could have done so much better story telling it is such a failure that way its just a whole other of what a shame this thing was for example it could have given opinion on how and why went mad or shown that he was mad paranoid before his illness and that fever then broke the mental restraint he had possessed previously it could have shown the weakness of and the miracle it was he survived it could have these and many other things but it stuck to it's sad nightmares br br finally about the sex it is porn it shows these sex acts being done all over the by many people male on male female on female male on female it is disgusting sex sex that if your point is to get off on it i seriously doubt you could both and may have been sex and may have been common enough but the visions in this film seem to recall more a greek time than a roman i don't think that kind of acceptance of homosexuality or right out in the open were common until the the strange reign of and he was killed for it br br this film should probably never be watched if your curious about it let it go it is something as i said earlier if you do watch this you will unfortunately retain it's sick visions in your minds eye for years to come i don't think its an accurate historical picture in particular even if it is historical in whole,negative
there have been several books that have this as the earliest gay cinema i don't really see this as all that gay in the homosexual sense but then seeing two men dancing in what has to be the worlds first movie musical does have its attraction br br there have been several earlier comments about this film any homosexual overtones as to those that are quick to dismiss this film as just being silly and an experiment done late at night after too many drinks well i've heard that story before br br this film is of interest as an and if folks want to consider it the first gay film so be it better this than the depressing die,positive
over the years i've come to be a fan of director writer barry and he didn't let me down with this very funny look at politics popular tv comedian tom robin williams has the nation with his jokes about the state of the country and elected politicians responsible night after night he has his fans rolling in the then the question is that run for president himself his manager jack christopher walken says go for it flames a grass root movement that puts him on the comedian to president meanwhile a young woman laura finds a flaw in the computer system that will count the coast to coast my favorite sequence is in the coffee shop williams is absolutely hysterical with his rapid others of note in the cast jeff goldblum lewis black and rick roberts,positive
whenever someone tries to tell me that they think a movie is the worst ever and it's usually some movie that's cool to hate like the hands of fate or the i ask them is that movie a comedy about an orphan who is constantly trying to murder adults does anyone utter the line rather eat a in that movie br br this movie is way too and moronic for adults and way too violent and irresponsible for children is there that much money in the and butt head to make a series of movies like this there is a problem child 3 but i haven't seen it i'd rather eat a turd,negative
i read all of the other comments which made this movie out to be an excellent movie i saw nothing of the excellence that was stated i thought it was long and boring i tried twice to watch it the first time i fell asleep and the second time i made it to within six minutes of the end and gave up i suppose that it was mainly my fault going in with great expectation but i don't think that this would have completely ruined the movie for me the movie was just bland it had nothing that was spectacular or unique to it the plot was not half bad the action sequences were non existent the dialogue forced and the movie just went on forever i would not recommend seeing this movie,negative
thomas controversial novel is the basis for the film a death in although in the book the hero is an author in the film the director visconti who also wrote the screenplay transforms him into a composer as such the author composer von on the verge of mental is a burned out after a long and successful career now seeks the peace and of a less life he decides to go on vacation to where he hopes to his ambition however while staying at the resort he captures the attention of a beautiful young teenage boy who eyes him with curious interest and is immediately smitten by him although is captivated by the wondrous youth he nevertheless must find some private time away from the boy's nora while having to cope with a plague which seems to have the city the movie dialog like the novel remains subtle as are the few brief encounters between the boy and the artist in the end the audience unlike the book is with and imaginative of fancy their affair is never given wing substance or opportunity and were it not for the brief resolution in the book the film allows only the possibility of if ' nevertheless one can sympathize with the hero and wish him a peace to obtain that which is forbidden but definitely criticized by eyes great story and a classic,positive
100 often referred as tarzan with clothes on but it's not at all in the same league as his far superior tarzan series basically the jungle jim series became a tarzan replacement for johnny after he started getting too out of shape for a in jungle jim he is fully it can't compare to the tarzan series in any way not in acting screenplays or quality of production it's pretty hokey stuff this one is the first the best in the series and that isn't saying much too much stock footage is used and it is so obvious the score is overdone and the plot is lame and the production is so poor it makes it hard to watch at times,negative
excellent performance there still are good actors around also great directing and photography very true to and a for all fans jason connery moved me to tears with his final out brief candle out he gave the of moral and dark forces a human face which makes it the more interesting helen is a very credible lady who can be very at times and sometimes she just looks like a naughty girl but deadly in her taste for blood and evil if you love death and and lyrics this is the one,positive
i rented this movie expecting it to suck and it didn't let me down i rented it with some friends as a joke but what we got was worse than anyone could ever imagine br br it starts off sucking before you even take it out of the box it looks like a blade rip off and the guy on the cover is nowhere to be found in the movie its called vampire assassin but isn't an assassin someone who kills for hire well this guy kills the of his own so that doesn't make him an assassin br br then when you actually put the in it gets worst first off the menu animation is lame but when you actually start the movie every thing from the set design to the lighting or lack thereof is terrible you know a movie is bad when the credits even suck the acting is laughable the action is childish the writing is and the directing is the worst,negative
shadows and fog is surely one of woody allen's weakest films right up there with september and hollywood ending though nothing allen has done equals the awfulness of anything else br br shadows and fog is allen's homage to the german style of film making all stark and stylized light and shadow and you guessed it lots of fog but you can tell allen got caught up in the technique and the parody and forgot to make a movie that anyone would care about br br luckily he made husbands and wives the same year so things weren't a total wash for him br br grade d,negative
i am left with little choice but to employ it at least once during the course of my review of among other things what is in my opinion a lack of emotional sincerity on the author's part seems made with an all too contrived and self aware intent to be artistic symbolic spiritual provocative mythical even but luckily for all true artists out there a formula to achieve artistic beauty and depth doesn't exist stunning natural locations yes these remote parts of southern italy look exotic even to most other italians pretty actors and some amusing spontaneous performances by a handful of attractive children won't elevate a movie beyond a pretty succession of images yet this and vain and ultimately hollow movie to be art only to a very limited extent perhaps in some cases by accident i'll admit that the pompous ending does have a certain visual poetry to it however it's my belief that this was achieved in ways that had more to do with the beauty of the sea and the strong symbolic power of bathing and water connecting it to so much that's mythical mystical religious etc than with talent br br is and affected in her performance as for a mentally unstable woman from a humble and background she sure has a wardrobe her dresses and attractive sun beach hair could have the pages of any summer edition the fact she was a could in a way have been nothing but a addition to her trendy and look that's how skin deep her condition seemed to me two dimensional stereotype of the innocent natural child woman misunderstood and by her community was tiresome and irritating at worse while leaving me and indifferent at best i agree with the reviewer from london who wrote that mental illness is very badly served by cinema during the course of the entire movie we never really get a sense of illness and have no idea what is actually wrong with her other than her being a tiresome stereotype of a free spirit we don't know why she's given and is required to see a in this generic way of writing mental illness is one of the main tell tale signs of the movie's overall br br another fairly insulting aspect of is the of its location i to figure out whether this movie was supposed to be set in the present day or the past seeing as it aimed to make even an admittedly part of italy by comparison seem a dozen times and more conveniently primitive than it actually is again this of and a complete lack of sincerity on part some non italian viewers will lap up the the cliché of the macho italian man as if it were common place so keen will they be to continue viewing my country as one stranded sometime in the 1950s the question i'd like to ask david the reviewer from dallas texas is as follows is your country's mentality stuck in the 1950s no ok then why should mine be unfortunately for whoever still wishes to view italy in such an way that aspect of is actually ridiculous and even in the eyes of this italian viewer the subtly incestuous tension between and her son was as tiresome and predictable as sexist but loving husband routine i especially the scene in which joins her husband and male friend in some man to man banter over a bottle of beer to her husband's macho embarrassment and according to this movie it isn't a woman's place to take part in a man's conversations ah but our free spirit is too good for this place and doesn't understand the oppressive rules of not only does this scene depict something so fake it should be enough on its own to the entire movie's credibility it also completely gets the wrong end of the stick of the culture it to depict clearly showing that it was written without a clear understanding of the location or its population i would challenge anyone who knows contemporary italy to say otherwise br br for a truly accomplished contemporary italian filmmaker one who in my opinion deserves to be listed among the of glorious cinematic past which alas isn't the shadow of its former self look no further than especially and his latest la stella che non unlike most contemporary italian cinema sadly derivative and is a fresh and creative voice despite my review of i am now more than willing to believe that latest now showing in italian cinemas will be a worthwhile one i therefore look to enjoying it though it won't be overly shocking to me if i don't considering my feelings for,negative

i have read the last comment made on this film and have to utterly and totally disagree with it br br you see i am of portuguese and even though this film may say little to someone coming from boston it surely says something to both portuguese and brazilian people as well as immigrants everywhere br br and why you may wonder well firstly this film deals with two sibling nations and brazil brazil gained its independence in the early 19th century by the hands of the heir to the portuguese throne and since then relations improved greatly br br however meaningful as this may be there is still a lot of prejudice because of the economic climate in brazil during the 1990's to grew you see is not only a country sharing a similar language culture and beliefs as brazil but is also a to the rest of europe some people were thus forced to make the decision to cross the atlantic and look for a better life and was the first logical place to try to to br br as it happens still with a lot of immigrants they were paid below the minimum and were treated like dirt only in this case because the language is similar they were constantly made aware of their status as immigrants br br another curious thing in this film is the idea it conveys of how a man so of the history of his own country still tried to make a quick buck through national resources it is exactly people like this that keep brazil in a constant state of arrested development as the country is well in natural resources and could easily climb the economic ladder should it be given a fair opportunity br br in a sense this goes to show how still exists representing the exploited people the man whose status as a or at least rich or well off is assured by the foreign power which is in turn represented by br br if you have seen other films by you will recognize this as a recurring topic the struggle against an power i do not mean to lecture or be as to teach anyone history but i thought this film was speaking very powerful i am not saying there wasn't room for improvement as there always is but i think the last comment written on it was not only narrow minded but hands down ignorant br br one last thing to be said on this i have to assume you have watched this film with the eyes of an american film watcher no harm intended by this remark but i mean foreign films cannot all be about beautiful scenery art deals with the problems of its time you would not expect otto for example to paint all the lovely places in and the black forest why should you expect a film maker to focus exclusively on scenery when he feels there are more relevant issues to attend to br br in a nutshell do not judge films lightly and with only two or three in scope this film is very interesting its photography is quite good and even the idea the black and white conveys goes hand in hand with what it deals with i believe the image is grainy like reality no br br watch it and reach your own conclusions,positive
i remember a time when the only thing that did exist where drugs and parties this movie came out a couple of years after i started going if i had never discovered the side of things this movie may not have made sense to me that night when i watched it for the 1st time with some mates i was completely blown away i had never watched a movie that hit so close to the reality of where i was in my life at that time almost everything i could relate to in some way there was never 1 character i could fully relate to but more a combination of all of them in one way or another my mates where no different and i remember us all saying that they where us or we where them we had all been out that weekend together doing exactly what the crew do in we where coming down while we watched and when the movie came down i remember actually coming down a bit further it was actually quite depressing in our room during those low points thats what's so good about human traffic it really the whole situation br br its a unique movie in the way its not plot driven but then its not completely character driven although the characters are important it always seemed to be based on the situations situations as a group and as individuals each character is lost in life for their own reasons yet each of them responds to the in the same way work any job to make money to pay for the weekend and escape it all for them its their holiday but the reality is you cant truly escape another situation they all have to face br br me and my mates where no different from these guys we all had our own stuff going on human traffic helped explain to us what we didn't understand about our it does it in a way that doesn't talk down to you it made us feel like we weren't the only ones out there like us and that the lessons learned where ones many others from all over the world had gone thru it wasn't until my lifestyle changed from party to career driven that i would fully understand this movie these days i watch every now and then as i just have and the old days no other movie can do this i was peter i was travolta i went to never never land with my chosen family i'd have 200 in my back and i wax the lot no,positive
as a word of explanation disney's the kid has absolutely nothing in common with the charlie chaplin classic of the same name what we do have is a pleasant enough though unbelievable feel good family comedy as only the folks at disney can provide br br bruce willis in a change of pace plays a self centered stuffed shirt of an image he not only his but those close to him as well you know that he is going to have to change before the final credits br br into his life comes a chapter from his past in the form of character as a nerdy 8 year old played with pie conviction by spencer disney always finds these kids somewhere this forces willis to come to grips with his past and well you know the rest br br appearing as love interest is emily and lily as his executive assistant both have little enough to do as most of the movie involves the inter action between the willis and characters br br the kid though not the greatest of disney movies is one nonetheless that you can sit down and watch with your family and come away from with a warm feeling,positive
i had watched this as a kid but not being much of a jerry lewis fan i had completely forgotten it not that it's in any way memorable the film revolves around which seems to be in the of every comic star in this case a german officer and while not as bad as leonard claims it a bomb rating it's not exactly classic stuff either certainly behind the great dictator 1940 even if ironically the scenes prior to the appearance of the would be wacky general offer more than the rather forced humor at nazi expense br br the film was really last gasp during his in fact this proved to be his last vehicle to be released for 10 years it's painfully apparent here that his particular brand of wouldn't pass in the age of mel brooks and woody allen,negative
the seasoned actors in this do know how to act and have proved that before but the director who also wrote and produced this travesty is incompetent on so many levels o k it's low budget but i know films students with lower budgets and lesser known actors who can do much much better for example since there were people involved who should know better some of the gun were totally out of place and never existed in those days the stunt work was clumsy the story stale and hokey if some one gives you a copy of this use it for a coaster by the way i love westerns and have known many stunt men and even went to high school with one of the actors so i was looking for it to be good,negative
if you need a clue as to whether is decent or not look to its star colin who refers to it in an interview as absolute rubbish i sincerely hope no one ever sees it br br the script and plot are ludicrous the female lead is unconvincing the only thing worthwhile is colin and he seems slightly embarrassed throughout br br for fans only the shower scene alone is worth the 3 99 you might have to shell out should you find it in a video bin like i did br br i'm happy for mr that his days of taking projects like this one are over,negative
connery climbs aboard the moore train in this stinker of a movie away everything that made bond successful in the first place this movie further the bond character throwing him into the category of inspector gadget get smart this ain't there is no style here only second rate actors performing on cheap sets it's a shame that connery couldn't lend an element of class here but it doesn't come across everything here of mediocrity including bad perhaps if i was in and given the choice between watching never say never again and howard the duck i would choose the former if you want the real james bond pick up any ian novel,negative
people criticize because it is a low point in bond god sean career and because it is may contain spoilers first of all this movie is better then any other bond film featuring any other actor then connery all sub par in my book sean connery is the only real bond no one comes even close to his good looks and sex appeal yes this movie is a low point in bond career but it is still the best bond film of the 80's sean connery is the only bond actor who is good at an older age he did not become a mess like moore but kept his good looks and but gaining some gray hair so what hes still the only real and he is as cool and tough as ever sean connery is the one and only and this movie is worth seeing no matter what anyone says no gun barrel opening but you can't have everything can you great theme song though,positive
william that c s i guy has a small uncredited role but it's the best part of the movie his character comes across smart ass and tough and it's a fun surprise to see him in this he has a range that allows him to play just about anything after his 5 minutes it goes from looking cool to just nothing much it leaves you hoping that his character will in the movie but after 20 minutes you give up hope the movie itself is pretty poor worth a watch on or a pick up at the library but not much more too much of it reminds you of l a except that where that movie starts to get complicated upon itself this one is so loose it everywhere but where it should 2 out of 5 stars,negative
i found it real shocking at first to see william shakespeare's love masterpiece into a gory violent and kinky sensual movie adaptation but after you watched it once it sort of grows on you when you watch it the second and third times as you come over the shock and start the movie on its own merits solid acting good dialogue nice and choreography not too bad soundtrack and some of the special effects that go on oh and also the ending what a riot,positive
much like the people who made this movie can't tell the difference between and no build up at all just throw naked women on the screen no it doesn't work that way if close ups of female aren't your thing prepare to be looking away from the screen at many points i often did the all women are at heart mentality of the movie is offensive and the story is by turns absurd and boring the escape is the most boring part but halfway through there is a random scene that pops out of nowhere and involves one of the female prisoners and one of the male guards in a nude wrestling match which she wins with a couple of moves although the choreography of the fight is bad the whole scene is undeniably memorable in fact that scene and the nice cinematography are the only two reasons i give this film out of 4 instead of 0,negative
this movie has two new features in relation to the message conveyed by other equally good movies about death penalty and those are the stress also given to the drama endured by parents without for that reason the hatred and desire of revenge they feel or the horror that execution represents and the christian vision of all the questions implied we must also point out that in this movie the sentenced man is not the usual nice innocent person we see in other movies dealing with which doesn't lead us to abandon the idea that a execution is no more than a legal murder anyway last but not least we must mention the extraordinary emotional weight put on the last moments of the execution course with all the shown by the last words and the detail with which the act of the execution itself is viewed in a parallel cut with images of the murder scenes in the forest to stress that we are being confronted with another murder so as the latter but performed in a cold and supposed legal way,positive
when character says i feel like i'm in someone else's dream and they're going to be ashamed when they wake up she is referring not only to being an unwilling player in war games she is referring to being an ignorant in life itself at the film's end when she says that she had a dream that she had a child and she was trying to take care of it but she forgot something else the is that she has forgotten what she has learned in the war she's just survived that like her own mother before her she will be unable to pass on any vital lessons to her own child and therefore the cycle of the shame of ignorance will continue ad,positive

i have never read the book but had always heard good things about it so when the movie came out i considered going to see it but never did now it has come out on dvd and i have thought of renting for a few weeks now last night i finally picked it up i am very glad that i did br br cinematography was incredible in this movie the scenery etc all made you feel like you were in the acting was all very good although i am sure some of the emotions were lost in the translation and the story itself was good and pure and uplifting yes the story was very sad but at the same time uplifting br br and i will be honest as a white american made me see aside of and afghanistan that i never picture in my mind when i think about it showed me a afghanistan before the showed me a place that was beautiful showed me a place with good hearted people i community that was like a family aside from a few bullies br br anyways i recommend this movie to everyone it is one of the best i have ever seen,positive
the family happiness is when the from the beginning rich father ward michael gets poor and cannot support the family any longer then the mother faye smith has to take the role as the in the family and starts to work in order to support the family and at the same time alone has to manage the family life not always that good but as good as she can the family life hardly gets easier when the father learns that the son lionel joe stargate atlantis is gay and is living together with his lover john joel the also an old family friend resulting in that the father makes clear to lionel that he is no longer welcome in the family lionel is the one who meant the most to his sister anne leslie during her up bringing since the family neglected her anne cannot stand the fact that their father have cut the with lionel and therefore she run away from home as this wasn't enough the son greg brian in the marines and is sent to war the storyline in this film can on some occasions feel a bit thin in spite of that it still has a lot of realism in it which makes it well worth seeing since this film illustrates many sensitive relations and situations i would believe that it is best appreciated by a mature audience even though it wouldn't hurt for teenagers to see it and get something to think about before,positive
i am a firm believer that a film tv serial or any form of art should and would be fully appreciated once the timing factor as to when written produced or conceived should be taken in to account br br jo is one such series i remember watching it in the mid 80's on tv and the re runs via the video during early 90's and laughing out loud and being addicted to it that made me buy the full series dvd set and surprise of surprises the comedy and the moments of the good days simply fell flat for me even the very popular 30 years experience and bed did not the kind of i thought it would the timing factor for the 80's this was the the main event the mother of all tv comedies and it worked during the age and time perhaps the same cannot be said right now but nonetheless watching the dvd did bring back pleasant memories br br i wish the seasons with and were longer shah has been un good as the heart of the show with equally effective support cast of and the throughout br br all in all an experience that will bring back memories for those who saw it during the prime times might not appeal to the younger viewers or first time,positive

first off the editing of this film consisted of one major flaw which i don't understand how was missed you consistently see the in and out of the film the first time i saw it i just said well mistakes happen and it off after about the time it began to get incredibly irritating and funny if you haven't seen the film yet try counting how many times you see the might make for pretty interesting game br br now about the film this movie started out with the of a pretty solid ghost story however the plot twist at the end just ruined it completely you begin watching the movie under the by the tv commercials that the haunted house consists of ghosts which can only be seen by children particularly young children which makes it even more freaky as they will be unable to effectively warn the family of the impending danger the opening scene did a good job of misleading the audience that this would remain the premise of the film spoiler the movie starts with the family being stalked and ultimately killed by an unseen force in the home the idea that only children can see these ghosts is set in motion when the daughter at the beginning of the movie asks her little brother to tell her where it is right before it grabs her and drags her screaming into the the young boy also witnesses this supposedly unseen force kill his mother after she tells him to hide under the bed after his family is killed the boy attempts to run and hide only to be away as well br br as i said this movie started out with the of a pretty spooky movie in which the family would be stalked by an unseen force with their only hopes of survival on by a two year old this began to be ruined less than halfway into the film as the daughter began to see the ghosts as well completely ruining the only children can see illusion set forth by the commercials and opening scene br br regardless of this the movie didn't actually get ruined until the plot twist at the end in which the man who had been helping the family the farm turns out to have been the man responsible for killing the family at the beginning of the movie all of a sudden after being attacked by a of the man and tries to kill the mother daughter and son while having a psychotic breakdown in which he believes them to be his family which he killed at the beginning br br the whole plot twist at the end just created a whole list of questions and left me going wtf first why was the family's souls trapped in a house if the director was going for a on the grudge approach in which the family after dying in a fit of rage would haunt the house and kill whoever enters why did the haunting stop after the father was captured by the ghosts of his family if the ghosts only wanted to kill the man that killed them why were they attacking the new family here's another one for you it takes several months from the time you until the plants fully in time for this tells me that the man who killed his family at the beginning the man that the ghosts apparently had a grudge with the whole movie was living on the property for months during all this time why didn't the ghosts just go kill him br br this movie included a lot of clichéd horror movie scares as well as an obvious combination of ideas from other horror movies however i'm telling ya this movie still could've pulled off okay if not for the plot twist at the end it's like they just ran out of their budget and just threw together something for an ending for this movie to have been a success they should've stuck with the only children can see them premise and ended with either the family barely getting away or being killed off like the family at the beginning would've opened the door for possible sequel too,negative
although this movie doesn't have the darkness of the books it is in my opinion a great movie it's great campy fun with the beautiful stuart as he may not have the blond hair and blue eyes that are so vividly described in the book but to be fair he would not look good with blond hair and is most definitely about looking good he moves like the predator i always imagined would have br br the visual effects are pretty good and the soundtrack is absolutely amazing it's not interview with the vampire so don't try to compare the two interview is story this is a cut and version of in any case i highly recommend,positive
this movie is amazing you will never laugh harder it's a target no i think it's yes it's a this movie gets funnier by the second like when jackie chan's character finally dies in his final fight scene this movie is like if you buy or rent this you'll never return it in my opinion i didn't and i haven't found it in a store since i watched this movie once and i was forever in love with kung fu action flicks if you're looking for an amazing film in the realm of great production value good or even mediocre acting and good special effects this is not that movie if you're looking for laughs and timeless pick this up for a dollar and you'll probably never let it go with friends popcorn and drinks it's the perfect evening,positive
oddly enough the independent film channel showed this film a week after it showed karate bear fighter even though the bear film was the second in the trilogy and this film was the first what were they thinking while all three of these films are supposedly based on the life of this great karate master you can't help but think that they must have the story quite a bit especially in this first film sure the guy evidently did fight and kill a bull and later a bear in fact he fought and killed many during his career but in this film set in the early 50s at the end of the film the hero actually fights about 60 guys and kills many of them brutally i just can't imagine that this really occurred so i did some checking and found that while many of the details are correct some of this film is pure yes he did kill a man in self defense and yes he did follow the widow and her son and spent a year working for them trying to get them to forgive him but the end of the film is great to watch but seeing one of his opponents get a staff thrust through his head and all the other gory details couldn't have happened or else the japanese government would have locked up to protect society the film is entertaining and the fighting is excellent there are no complaints about the action or acting the only minor complaint is the camera work which is a tad sloppy during some of the fight scenes despite this minor complaint this is a most enjoyable film in many ways the wandering karate master theme is pretty reminiscent of the zatoichi films which are also lots of fun to watch but many of the exploits are truly impossible br br there is an dubbed version of this film entitled champion of death and i just saw it as well it's not a bad dubbing and it was letter a big plus but still i prefer the subtitled version,positive
having watched the first scene i realized the acting was so bad that it couldn't possibly pick up later superficial and artificial with frequent attempts to look professional through references to technology the way a five year old tries to make it sound as if he knows what he's talking about br br the second to second storyline is completely unrealistic and just about every single decision the screenwriter did was the kind you expect from a below average grade school student the overall storyline was as unoriginal and predictable as a pack of the few attempts to make the dialogs sound intelligent was limited to neurotic behavior a ten year old might like it but it would take a five year old to accept the lack of realism how does advanced cell function allow someone to a code lock by touching it as if with a magic pick out one out of of voices through a system thereby ripping off superman and a home computer by just whats wrong instead of looking for faults actually that scene is a neat example the fault was that one of the on the was broken the way it would look if a on a engine is ripped off by an explosion this is something that can't happen and if it did it wouldn't prevent the computer from working there is no current passing through this but when he without doing it himself his arms worked by because the cells in his body was super efficient put a push pin into the rip a with icons appeared on the screen immediately without br br and so it goes all the way like when he escaped an room in the by lighting a lighter below a fire resulting in open doors throughout the building naturally didn't predict this sharp witted approach to escaping nor did they put any guards outside his room or anywhere else to guard a living walking breakthrough in military so he walked out and got a cab examples like this one are not only numerous there is in fact just about no single scene that makes sense br br also the so called great effects were terrible he threw a basketball back to a kid in the park and the kid was thrown back 20 feet into a tree no or but constant speed and height like a i'm sure if i and looked for the that kept the of this kid the way only can they probably didn't know how to or bother to them completely if someone is thrown that far into a tree they would at least say or rather be with broken bones but the kid was just just confused and amazed br br moronic that's the word for every creative decision made throughout the entire production i'm going to put the director's name on my own personal someone as poorly skilled as him cannot improve i feel like demanding for having wasted 45 minutes of my life for watching it and the time it took to write this although it felt it was traumatic to realize how little it takes to get a pilot the only excuse a slightly intelligent person could have to watch this would be or,negative
this is a phenomenal movie truly one of the best movies i have ever watched i am a serious critic and it takes much to stir me but this movie had all the right for stirring the passion of the actors without the overacting the for all the characters involved the serious and subtle truths about marriage and divorce all make this a must see movie despite the fact that it is 1970s this is definitely not an old movie but a classic vintage movie i hope you engage with it as i did when you consider how relationships of all kinds can be when you also consider how deep pain associated with love can be and how the hardest decisions to make will always be the most painful but once they are made the pain will but only gradually this movie certainly demonstrates that the most relationships are not necessarily weak relationships and that leaving certainly is not with lost lack of love the of this movie certainly from a place deep within someone's heart and mind,positive

first let me say that although i generally appreciate mike work i've been merely tepid in my response to office space king of the hill and and i generally prefer more intelligent comedy and lies the irony with respect to br br in a future world where the of and views instincts and intellectual are the of a chaotic messy semi mad max semi blade runner society where every trailer trash guy's fantasy becomes reality a man with even average intelligence is threatening and accused of talking gay and the mob mentality takes over and this world is also incredibly funny br br yes it's obvious that jr and executives will be horrified at the twisted values given their products in the year br br there were some missed opportunities with the film and the relationship between the time the other being an average intelligence woman who's worried about her could have been stronger the chemistry is there and there don't seem to be too many women in the future br br i did leave with a grin on my face but the experience is a bit better than the memories thus it's my kind of popcorn film and it will be fun to on video recommended stay through the credits for an extra scene,positive

had no idea what i was going to experience viewing this old film from 1940 however i always enjoy viewing day katie who plays the role as a younger sister to jean helen and also their mother burke mrs julia thought i was going to be bored with the story of two sister's and a mother who is overly protective of her daughters until they meet up with robert who has the reputation of being a millionaire playboy who has plenty of and is a heavy who parties all the time one night helen goes on a date with and he proceeds to get bombed out of his mind and simply cannot drive his car it is at this point in the film when this becomes a drama and changes the complete direction of this film which will definitely hold your attention right to the very end of the film,positive

this film is full of charming situations and healthy young people easy on the eyes whether they are wearing clothes or not the strong of its plot is by the art of shakespeare as joseph discovered back in the 1950s in central park shakespeare's plots can be adapted to the manners and customs of the present and so the classic tales of cross dressing and other found in such lighthearted comedies such as night and a eve and as you like it are used to good effect in this film all the young actors and actresses do a good job of the plot with their and dialog and costumes and the idea of a soccer game to bring things to a climax reminds me of bend it like beckham another charming coming of age movie,positive

without a doubt one of the most films i've ever seen with the prejudice being against hayden as she has to move into a tough inner city school she is constantly called white girl and other based on her colour firstly would this be allowed the other way around if a black girl was the butt of all the abuse and secondly the stereotyping of the ethnic kids from the inner city school is also a disgrace the writers apparent desire to show they were hip also extended to missing the point that the inner city school win the competition not through talent but by their white opponents these overtones to the film took it away from it's expected direction of a harmless lighthearted comedy suitable for a family audience into a vehicle that does none of the participants any credit hayden has star quality but i would be surprised if any of the rest of the class ever get much further all in all a film that was a waste of time,negative
the movie is excellent acting cinematography direction and music are it seems to me that the reason so many give the movie a low score is because of the devotion they have to the original version starring ronald coleman that movie for good reason an unbelievable level of commitment from talking with people who saw the original when it first came out i believe the impact was something akin to the first movie in modern times i have seen it it was and is wonderful but that does not mean that this version is not also worthy from the first scene the 1973 version grabs you the noise and are fantastic especially in they way they prepare you for the peace of la and burt music is beautiful so by all means enjoy the version but do not let it detract from your enjoyment of this 1973 version any more than you would let the king kong destroy peter jackson's of this year,positive

red is flawed weak and lacking even the camp isn't good br br there are only two good things about red the costumes even though the red costume is ridiculous it's ironic that a girl who is even afraid to be touched by men because she was raped still choose to wear so few little clothes even when it and the music by still the movie is somewhat watchable but certainly not br br the story is extremely simple and they didn't even bother to make it interesting the story could have been forgotten if there had been some good action sequences and some humor both are present but are seriously flawed in many ways the movie takes itself too serious and tries to impress but fails completely br br is an horrible leading lady i don't know who's accent is worse hers or and on top of that she can't act there is also absolutely no chemistry between the two characters which makes the love story totally unbelievable even worse was bergman as the main villain who acts more poorly than a paper bag ronald was somewhat good in his role but my god he looked horrible he changed so much since his only well known role in of the lost maybe it had something to do with his illness which claimed his life in 1991 and by the way what was with all those of the lost actors in this movie next to ronald pat roach terry richards and appeared in a role it seemed like some kind of of the lost reunion br br the only times when the movie gets a bit interesting is during the sword fights even though some of them are needless and weak br br only really watchable for the fans of the fantasy genre br br 4 10,negative
i turned this off within the first five minutes it's very sick and disturbing the moment i turned this off was when the beautiful white horse was let into the and it's skull was by a small this creature was lying on the floor in a state of shock before it died the narrator said the animal dies it didn't i don't agree with graphic realism towards animals insects or any living creature i was very disappointed as i had just watched without a which was a brilliant movie and this short film was attached which my night as i couldn't hurt a fly never mind watching this savage documentary br br reading other reviews on this page i had noticed they used words such as aesthetic this is not art or beauty i can imagine that the documentary would be very and profound but not aesthetic,negative
the of satan is a combination of conventional horror elements mixed with some imaginative characterization and direction bernard it all starts out with father charles as ben driving out west with his pretty as and daughter as k t things get and for the trio as they approach the town of which is being by a satanic cult br br when the hit the action switches to the film's more interesting of characters l q jones as pete the sheriff martin as doc charles robinson as jack the priest and moore as their interplay is sometimes fun soon enough it all gets very silly and predictable mr martin is the stand out as you might expect he considers the possibility of a satanic cult to be a and bull story but is of course their leader the come in children ending is puzzling unless perhaps it was the film's original title,negative
not only was this film but it took me back down memory lane with its true to life sound track these were the things we were saying and doing these were the songs we were listening to all during this same time period in the same era way down south in i may not have been one of the set but i was definitely one of the sitting on the with the old radio listening to neil young watching those more brave than i ever hoped to be as they put the spin on their on the tricks of and adams hoping that maybe just maybe for a brief moment they'd adopt the style it just goes to show how much alike we all were during those wonderful days,positive
let me this by going on record i am a huge george clooney fan and i love john in 'the well i was and i did br br this was the world's worst hang nail and it took minutes to rip it off the boredom was interrupted only by my frequent efforts to read my watch and when it would be over br br every funny scene was in the previews all three of them there was no real story no character development and the script was just plain bad i've had a that was more enjoyable br br the title should have been bad this movie is a lock for a it should get a whole of i want my money back,negative
this movie features some of the best ensemble work i've seen in film or on stage the actors play off each other with a skill and that in no way can be achieved through editing br br love jones a good story period but it is also an excellent portrayal of the urban middle twenty something african american set that is not often seen,positive
i watched this film on and i enjoyed it a lot it was very watchable and very funny julie and rupert were perfect in their roles julie gets a special mention since she creates a wonderful diverse interesting character to watch ben's character is kinda shy and stoic but the changes he goes through are wonderfully acted out by rupert i would definitely say he has a future in acting after harry potter br br laura is quite good in her role as ben's over protective mother the only thing they went wrong with is by making her too villain y ben's father was also an interesting contrast to his mother and in the end he is quite too the only character i wasn't keen on was she was a bit plain and unnecessary i thought br br overall this is a great comedy drama that is very easy to watch one of my favourite films of the year easily,positive

this american masterpiece came as near perfection as popular art to be from its beautifully and suggestive title to the magnificent performance by william from the harold br br the film both the dream and the reality of the this intimate engagement with the psychological facts of american life gave it an almost universal but unlike contemporary and message pictures it was not a it showed americans as they are presented their problems as they themselves see them and provided only such temporary they themselves would the values are the values of the people in br br william an outstanding director triple winner of the best picture oscar adds an air of distinction to melodrama epic and westerns with his visual style and his taste for material he gained a reputation as a serious artist most use of deep focus reveals the real commitment to emotional content br br the film tells the story of three men coming home from war to a small middle american community and find it difficult to pick up where they left off the three heroes are a middle aged sergeant march magnificent as the devoted family man who succeeds in breaking the ice with his family an air force captain dana andrews returning to an wife and a tormented sailor harold russell who has lost both hands in service replaced by in real life br br winner of 7 academy awards including best picture the best years of our lives is and compassionate a deeply personal motion picture with touching scenes br br the first words of the loving wife when he arrives home unexpectedly i look terrible it isn't fair of you to burst in on us like this br br the of the mother when she first sees her son's mechanical hands she out it's nothing br br with her dry voice myrna loy combines her qualities with ones wright is lovely as the nice daughter who falls in love with the pilot virginia is harsh as the flashy blonde wife whose first loves are money and high life and cathy is wonderful and sensitive as the fiancée br br the situations and even some of the characters seem a little obvious but this is a superb example of high quality film making in the forties with smiles and tears and a film which says what is needed on a vital subject,positive
i saw this movie when it first came to the theaters in 1988 and though i knew it wasn't of award winning caliber i kinda liked it it tales the tale of 5 former to take on the one task they never got to finish as kids which is to climb of course now the are all grown up and have developed their personalities in a variety of ways but none too differently than they were as children richard lewis is still neurotic richard is still a playboy is still sort of the dear of the group and tim is still the dude of the group of course the top billed star is anderson a true believer in everything related he still lives in the same house with his mother still goes over the daily is brave and clean and is the one who the others for one more grand adventure in their task however is the brothers two bullies out of the by the above mentioned by coincidence they run into their old and decide to them a bit albeit not so is three escaped who think pack 7 is from the fbi and are intent on them out all in all the movie still has bits of charm observe richard lewis trying to get comfortable on a for example and you have a really funny bit going for you upon further review the entire film needed more of that type of humor it doesn't hold up well after all these years but still remains a guilty pleasure,negative
warning i advise anyone who has not seen the film yet to not read this comment br br this movie was on the shelf at a movie store and since i had seen a handful of very corny horror flicks there i had really low expectations for this one well i put it in and almost immediately i was sucked right in while watching i got deeper and deeper into the story and pretty soon i was staring in complete interest this movie is surprisingly spectacular and i loved every second the story is about a boat ride down a river in australia it seems safe enough until their boat is by a croc who's ready for some food when i looked at the back of the case i thought that this movie was going to have crappy visual effects like in lake 2 and a lot of others but when i first saw the crocodile it looked amazingly real don't laugh when i say this for i am being serious but this is one of the most films i've ever seen it really knew how to build up nail biting tension and suspense with it's intense situation i mean think about it your stuck in a tree nowhere to run nowhere to hide with a hungry predator in the depths of the water below you can not tell me that doesn't freak you out just a little it even managed to give me a few chills down my arms like when adam was taken by the croc and grace and lee are left this is a very appealing movie there were maybe 1 or 2 parts where i found myself slightly but other than that i would say this is my favorite animal attack film that i have seen,positive
this movie was trying to something but failed miserably all the attempts at suspense were cheap and there were so many tired gimmicks and plot holes i ended up laughing and making fun of it the whole way through at least i was entertained br br the ghosts are attempting to warn the family so why do they attack the girl whose name i didn't care to remember and what was with the black and white at the beginning i know what they were trying to do but they fell far short and where the heck did that guy john character come from he just in from no where in a vast field and why did he suddenly lose it again when the came and if the were a of the spirits of his family then why did they attack him if it would make him try to kill the family makes no sense so many things in this movie just don't make sense and the acting ain't too pretty on the part of the main girl character it's not terrible just a little like her movie days br br so all in all this movie wasn't brilliant but i had a good time ripping at it and sometimes that's all a horror movie needs to do rent for entertainment not quality,negative
even though this movie starts off with the usual something goes wrong crashes people are stranded etc it still pulls off and introduces the viewer to some new ideas is somewhat of a bad ass convict and has his eyes so he is able to see in the dark which is a much sought after ability due to the situation the ship crew and he gets in the cutting in the movie is very good and the that around the anti hero and male protagonist the story in pitch black is as already mentioned to some extent very unoriginal and but the and cutting in the movie with some surprising elements which has been added to the story helps it to still support itself very well and one is afterward left behind with a hybrid feeling of satisfaction and for more acts really well in the role as and even though his character is a hardcore tough survivor he still takes decisions almost on the verge of good but that does not mean his decisions do not turn in his favor at the very end why destroy an already perfect reputation all in all this is a very good movie though not perfect the story seems very unoriginal at the surface but underneath it shines with enough originality to entertain some scenes has that wow factor while it as a whole is a bit better than average it could maybe be described as a cult movie and it is definitely a recommendation for people who wants a up sci fi story with some minor psychological moments and an intriguing protagonist namely,positive
the hunting trilogy of rabbit fire 1951 rabbit and duck rabbit duck 1953 should be considered the comedic high water mark of the chuck jones michael collaboration while they are seldom mentioned in lists of the greatest or most important cartoons in the history of animation they are certainly the funniest cartoons i've ever seen michael never got the credit that directors like jones or got but it's his dialogue and situations that make warner bros cartoons and these three in particular some of the funniest ever made,positive
i saw this film last night a satire of the reality style programs that seem to be making the rounds at the moment br br what can i say i absolutely hated it about as interesting as watching paint dry and with maybe one or two only slightly amusing moments br br maybe it had something to do with me not being a fan of the survivor and big brother type shows but if this had been a video dvd or if i'd been watching at the cinema on my own i would have not endured more than the first 5 minutes br br,negative
i tried lord help me how i tried but there are just some people almost incapable of creating quality brett uwe boll britney spears and asylum to their credit the 9 11 report seems like an honest attempt by the company to advance into a more sophisticated state of storytelling and movie making but for all and purposes it comes off as another truly film in their gallery at the opening the audiences that all the names have been changed but the names of the terrorists remain relatively the same a man named attempts to learn how to fly a plane with a stone cold that would instantly make anyone uneasy this undercover agent is able to learn how to fly on a small computer and you have to wonder not how he was able to get into this program so easily but on how these people didn't even ask questions because this scene is so far fetched in its presentation and the actor playing this man is extremely over the top and you can see that director scott attempts to paul with a bright grainy photography that's followed by an awfully and irritating hand held direction that throughout the entire film attempts to take off from ho film making techniques br br you can sense scott technique for realism but it becomes rather lame halfway in meanwhile the film comes off less a traffic take off and more a take off on law order in which we'll have the us the names have been changed the almost reminiscent of the law order and then ninety minutes of the actors their and discussing politics br br neither of which are ever as compelling as it tries to be and then when the film seems as if its attempting to be an adult drama scott relies on his old the sex scene scott's new film looks like it really wants to be thought of as a low budget but it's not and it manages to be on every such occasion possible the 9 11 report falls flat and that's because its limited in its attempts to imitate other films br br while i appreciate the ambition inherent behind the camera this new perspective of the events leading up to 9 11 is flat and dull hard as it may try to be a low budget it's only really as entertaining as a normal dolph lundgren film you'd find on,negative
i think this movie can be called the movie of rage br br the characters of joe and bob were of the wwii generation who didn't quite understand their kids the war taking drugs and listening to rock and roll but i think their real rage was at the fact that america was beginning her long decline from the heights the war left her at br br joe himself is a low rent at all the things that have made him angry living his life of quiet desperation until he teams up with a guy who wants to avenge himself on the hippies who ruined his daughter br br honestly most of the movie looks silly the characters are worse than one dimensional they're laughable peter boyle was capable of better stuff,negative
dreadful i hope i can save two hours of your life by warning you away from this i just finished watching the film btw br br i love good cross genre films this isn't one of them show me a sci fi musical a dramatic farce or a religious action flick i'll watch them all but you cannot just throw at a rambling camp schlock horror fest and draw my applause br br i love philosophical films this isn't one of them anyone who is amazed at the depths of intellect in this film hasn't read a good book lately or ever the thought provoking dialogue is trite at best perhaps it lost something in the translation br br i love a good horror comedy this isn't one of them laugh i thought i'd never start only when trying to think of a polite way to phrase my of the film to the friend who recommended it br br rupert is good in the setting of this film but even he cannot it i only wish he had shot the director instead if the zombies br br for shame that the land that gave rise to the should also give rise to this would be spinning in his grave,negative
the film's is you think you know who you are you have no idea i reject both the suggested idea that i have no idea who i am and the suggestion that this film tells me who people truly are if people in real life are really like this then man we're screwed br br a film that i walked into late and left a film which is so wrapped up in its goal of becoming the race film of all time that it loses sight of the very tools a film must use br br the rules of hollywood are such if you show something in the first half it must be used in the second half thus the gun that the daughter about her father buying will somehow find its way into the story in the second half the rules of hollywood are to make dialog a concept which changes with every decade is this somehow less ludicrous than the of kevin smith ten years ago the rules of hollywood state that we set the scene and as action rises the camera moves in closer to the faces in this film primarily so we can see the supposed shame and realism of the characters the strings increase the frame rate slows down and our heart is meant to break br br this film is as manipulative as it is vapid i have my own prejudices against l a which i admit so to combat this prejudice i will not say that this is a natural situation from the location but rather probably from the author and director the writer paul already showed a taste for over humanity in his million dollar baby which at least had a director who understood how to make the vision of the film bring out the best of a ideas now that paul has his own hands on the camera it becomes obvious that not only does he not know how to write true natural human drama he does not know how to photograph or direct it as well paul comes from the land of tv let us not forget the land of expectations br br everything is as obvious as a tv movie simply presented for simple minds into us over and over again that while on the surface people may seem to be awful they have secret pains hidden this is a nice idea but so presented that the whole of bad good has an amateurish feel the film is broken up in the tradition of and other earlier films the editing is as typical and cinematic as could be if there is a dramatic movement such as a door opening or a car driving past between the subject and camera the use that extreme movement to give the cut that occurs there a more quality the problem is that other than the drive to keep things moving there is very little intelligence and thought behind the cuts everything is kept by the books not only are the puppets of this hideous racial punch and judy show handled but even the are and raised with incompetence br br the film tries desperately to present reality but there's just no talent whatsoever some of the actors are good some of the actors are bad and all of the performance get together brought down by the low low of the film we have cinematography which is technically clear we can see the scene we have a clear understanding of what is happening however not only is the cinematography but it is camera work and framing which believes that it actually is inspired the result is little which one but do not actually add anything to the drama or pathos for example and this is a spoiler as a father holds his dying child the father might be shot too i didn't stick around to find out the camera sees his face and gives us the famous vertigo track zoom the vertigo shot it was at this point that the film became hysterical and i just had to leave i had to leave because it was so bad i left because i was in the middle of a crowded theater and i wanted to express to the audience that i was sick of hollywood which is full of sound and fury yet nothing in the own words i hate to waste such good references on something this remarkably bad,negative

this film is undoubtedly one of the greatest in history of cinema by seeing this film we can only notice that world cinema in 1950s had such a purely such a strong and adequate use of sound image montage and almost religious admiration of choices in human life cinema was then not only one form of arts it was much higher than ordinary life and it gave many people hope to live after the tragic war it is said that even was moved and cried that such a work of art can appear only once in 100 years audience that time was also different i read that after seeing live in its first release young couple quietly told each other it is a good film isn't it i think contemporary cinema though technically developed and opened some new narrative perspective has lost the most important of audience was once really the most popular art from and unlike modern fine arts and contemporary music gave millions of people hope and ideals in this point of view must be in the of classics of all the time as city light and la,positive

portman and susan sarandon play off of each other like a in this coming of age story about a young girl who is sentenced to life as the daughter of one of the women you will ever encounter sarandon has this ability call it talent if you will to play some of the most off beat characters and bring their humanity to of any film she makes as the mother of this obviously brilliant and beyond her years young girl sarandon between being the mom and being the child with the ease of a ballet dancer more importantly she does it with strength and without all over portrayal of the daughter the question is always asked when we the film plot who changes this film is certainly about the daughter but if you look close at the dreams and sacrifices that mom makes you come to understand that she changes in step with her daughter i am willing to bet this makes all of us in the audience change also the hallmark of fine drama,positive
well i guess i was in the mood for a movie that really grabbed me from the beginning this movie wasn't it it along at a pretty slow deliberate pace for the first 40 minutes but there wasn't really anything in it that i was terribly interested in there's an intriguing and mysterious between jean character and an old man but more of the first 40 minutes is dominated by the of the main character whom i didn't know much about and couldn't really relate to at the time he wanders around alone for the most part he doesn't meet anyone i imagine the director was trying to depict the loneliness of the human condition in this post apocalyptic world or something which is all good but i still wish he'd it down from 40 minutes to 15 because it can get incredibly boring br br but after those 40 minutes things start to get very interesting i guess i won't really say more than that because i don't want to spoil anything so if you've seen the first 15 30 minutes of this movie and are thinking about turning it off like i was just stick with it it gets a lot better br br one of the most interesting things i found about this movie was the fact that it had no dialogue whatsoever which really made me have to think about what was happening how characters were feeling and what their motivations were why things were how they were in this post apocalyptic world all of which gives the story a lot of room for audience interpretation and it's amazing how much more satisfying a movie is when the actors aren't telling you exactly what's going on,positive
have just seen the last episode no though the site says only 30 episodes were made and i must comment on the fact that this series was really very good and i would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who enjoys crime cop stories supposedly all were based on fact with information at the end of each episode of the court sentences on the of the crimes this has at times been a gritty well acted believable and dare i say entertaining series the fact that the powers in decided to the unit was almost unbelievable as they did their work so well and in the series at least never failed to get their man it's a definite 10 10 for me,positive
before watching this movie from beginning to end i happened to just catch the last half hour i don't watch a movie if i haven't seen it from the beginning but a friend had it on and once i started watching it i couldn't stop br br i'm really surprised this movie didn't get a wide theatrical release this is quite a funny movie often humor and the monster and monster truck in it are quite menacing the monster makes look pretty and the monster truck is a like a cross between a world war i german vehicle and a giant coffin br br a twenty five year old virgin guy is on a long drive to stop the woman he loves from getting married his ex best friend along and on him constantly they're on the road by a vintage black and the aforementioned monster truck they also pick up a played by the very sexy brooks br br i also watched the animated trailer with the director's commentary and the electronic press and i found those both to be interesting i would bet that the feature commentary with the director and the two male stars is pretty enjoyable too but i have so many other movies to watch i've never seen before,positive
when i first saw that this movie was going to be playing on tv i only new of shore as this joke of a comedian who wore really weird outfits back in the day i still decided to watch it and i was impressed shore brings a fresh breath of air to the screen in this movie he plays crawl a college that probably needs his own as well carla in an underrated role plays a farm girl with a simple family and a movie cliché boyfriend travis when she heads off to she meets crawl and he quickly turns her into a blonde girl she decides to bring crawl home for the break when travis decides to needs a distraction crawl then decides to make everyone believe that him and are engaged already this leads to crawl up the romance between parents her brother and even getting the dancers at the local bar to get a little loose i'm not going to reveal the end but i liked it anyway don't rent it if you want a poignant performance rent it if you want to laugh your butt of and enjoy an often missed part of 90's humor,positive
that's the only word i can think of to describe this movie not waste as in a waste of time any time spent with these characters is never wasted but waste as in a waste of opportunities br br when i see this movie i think of all the star trek novels that were written which would have made a much better film than the story shatner chose the setup was like an average television episode while the finish felt like the climax if you can call it that of the first movie br br in directing ii iv focused on the character of spock how he faced the outside of the and how he handled his emotional live now that he had a chance to start fresh shatner could have done the same with kirk here but he didn't we don't know much about kirk that we didn't know before again one of the novels would have been better try my enemy my ally for a very interesting character study of our friend james t the minor characters are used mostly for cute bits and the subplot seems way out of left field particularly since the subtext in the original series was br br even hardcore fans can't find much to enjoy here sorry but it's true,negative
director has made a cynical cash by his own admission that is too cynical to impress anybody but a genre fan br br the most extreme confronting genre to a character in have a philosophy that is what makes them dangerous br br island of philosophy is to throw many shocking elements into a cinematic mix and stir slowly the result is a dish with no taste but an ugly appearance br br not to be confused with brilliant who could kill a child sometimes called island of death effort is set on a greek island which is a stage for various forms of slaughter a little and some br br everything moves at a pace and the violent set pieces are poorly directed br br as the movie that the censors didn't want you to see i'd a guess that the censors never saw it they simply read the until their knees,negative
i'm this film on a in other words it isn't the greatest film that has ever been made but it does exactly what it set out to do this is an excellent t a film i have no idea the count of how many or were seen in this film but i did see one shot that had 16 bare at one time just to give you an idea there are topless girls all throughout there is a wet t shirt contest scene and the climax involves a game of touch football between two all girl teams and every time one scores a the entire team losing a piece of clothes i don't know why this gets such a low rating here perhaps the people who gave it low scores thought they were going to see citizen kane i love this movie and hope to find more similar ones if you are looking for a good campy t a film i'd recommend this one,positive

as is the case with many films of this my non got in the way of my understanding it the church has this mass of rules which have been put together over centuries we have a short time to learn them and have to accept them at face value then throw in some bad guys getting revenge for a long distant act against them working under these rules and attempting to them and you have this book and movie i found myself thinking that's pretty cool why did they do that there's this casual thing in the robert character where no matter what the issue he seems to always make the right first move i suppose it's like watching where they solve incredibly complex cases in a matter of days they know the lay of the land in this film there is so much land and so little time to really understand everything that is going on but if you create robert you need to set him to work that's ok because heroic like him have been saving the day forever i thought the film was fun i thought the da code was fun too interesting and not as bad as people seemed to think this is a marvel to look at and never stops for a second,positive
i caught this as part of the cartoon noir package at the street theater in and it was simply brilliant the saving grace of what was an other wise forgettable to just plain bad of films br br a perfect use of deep black and pure white with excellent yet simple animation this is simply a story of a cat chasing the moon funny charming and touching a small piece of heaven for cat lovers and any one else who how beautiful simplicity can be if it's in your town see it this one short is worth the price of admission,positive
brilliant work marvelous actors as brave and courageous characters all unforgettable parts in a more than intriguing and capturing action the casting is perfect both from the side of the stars like but as well for new faces i was very impressed by the young actor who plays the boy gang member you trust each one from the turkish gang very convincing is michael and all white power followers i admire the music beat of the main theme of children of wax this sound track is a charming mixture of turkish hard rock and and in the same time children of wax a tale focusing on racial conflicts the and brutality between the and the,positive
one reviewer says of those who might not like this film that it will only be appreciated by film goers who weary of film as this i feel is rather unfair to those of us who find it boring br br i have not become weary or with film or with film makers but found this tedious and self indulgent but then it's true i'm not too big into deep i feel that it may have great meaning for those in the know you know br br it is very slow and it spends a long time in trying to make its individual points using imagery indeed to do so but in such days as these it seems possible that a film like this might be the kind of thing that you'd come across in one of those dark and in modern art rather than on the screen of a popular cinema setting,negative
this dvd usually sells for around 20 i wouldn't pay this much for the dvd if i had known what i was getting but regardless this is a pretty good disc it displays the in all their glory with footage from their playing wait and bleed and among other tracks including the spit it out music video which was apparently banned from mtv br br for those who don't know is essentially a of the damned nine masked men who display total chaos on stage with machine gun drums guitar and that will tear your face off and leave you wanting more for those who've never seen before i cannot recommend enough you get this dvd probably off ebay or amazon so you can get a better deal br br a short though well made show of the br br seven out of ten,positive
i actually to lifetime channel by mistake just as this movie was beginning and ended up watching it br br it certainly deals with a serious issue probably more prevalent than we realize in terms of this type of attack of a young woman by an ego fellow student who feels he's above the system and unfortunately often is br br the cast here was believable and the performances credible a lot of these canadian lifetime flicks are decidedly over the top however this is one i might label as under the top br br while the fact that it wasn't presented in an overblown fashion this film somehow seemed like a record being played at a slower speed than proper the minutes seemed like many more and it had the effect of looking like a shorter film over and over seemingly going on and on and on and on before reaching its inevitable and predictable conclusion br br yet the engaging characters and performances made it better than the average film of this type despite these criticisms br br and while these pictures often milk the climax this one could have given it a bit more detail and length,positive

celebrity singers have always had a tough time breaking into the movies the cinema is with failed attempts and one can go on and on why john never made it big as an actor instead of taking small parts in heartfelt projects right in playing the lead in falling from grace which he also directed and the results are as awkward and as that title story of a famous singer returning to his hometown in the sticks opening up old family wounds boasts a screenplay by larry but the meandering film goes nowhere slowly the supporting cast is decent including kay whom it's always nice to see and claude who share the one really strong scene in the picture as for john's acting he doesn't look particularly comfortable despite apparent efforts to make him look at home he seems to be the camera most of the time and he never with the audience in an immediate way 1 2 from,negative
this film is a brilliant retelling of shakespeare's classic love story complete with kinky sex body and it does follow the same spirit as all the other troma movies except combat shock that sucker was depressing but it's not only for troma fans anybody who visuals and a hilarious script will without a doubt fall in love with this movie br br don't expect pretentious artistic wannabe crap like the version of r j with claire danes and leo this one knows its a silly movie and draws its humor from that the acting is also surprisingly good and you can just feel sammy pain as he tries to put his brain back into his head br br the soundtrack which contains many original and high energy bands like the wesley willis fiasco and the is also four star this movie should be viewed by all because it remains faithful to the original story while still being jam packed with trademark gore sex humor,positive
i have seen this movie but not in a single sitting what happens it that it is playing on the tv i watch for a few minutes find that i have take all that i can take and then leave the room during those few minutes i do not laugh once experience no pleasure in what i am viewing and find myself more depressed that angry interestingly i am told the psychological states are that is one cannot be angry and depressed at the same time this movie that theory br br i think part of the problem is that i spent nearly ten years in chicago so as i am watching the scenes i am thinking of my own experiences in that rotten town and thus i am clearly bringing a lot of my to the piece it is entirely possible i am willing to that if you are not a chicago you will find the piece amusing if so i envy you br br and yet john hughes set his films in chicago and those movies worked for me i think the difference is that hughes was a first rate writer i think it obvious he knew how to balance his situations as well as make his characters both sympathetic and believable in a comedy as distinguished from a farce this balance vital and it is not easy to achieve if it was everyone would be making great movies and we would not have to as we do in the real world wondering when genius will ever appear in adventures in it doesn't i hated those characters br br there is a difference profound and real between sympathetic and simply pathetic br br for me every scene in this movie is a there is no humor no humanity no people one can recognize just actors reading their lines as if it all they can do to themselves from screaming them out certain that finally hilarity will ensue this time for sure it's like watching the antics of very bad comedians it's embarrassing and after a while usually at the point when i get up and leave i start to feel pity for all concerned which is a kind of emotional connection i suppose elizabeth is terrible she doesn't act certainly not act and it's entirely possible she can't but lord how she tries she looks older than 17 and acts way younger like a seven year old in a school play certain that this is how one gets an award and she is not alone it is as if everyone cannot relax and let the tale flow as if everyone simply has no idea what they are doing br br now this was an early effort for chris and he clearly would improve and having better writers e g john hughes himself certainly helped so perhaps some forgiveness is in order but the film just of desperation yet like i said it may work for some if any of the above appeals to you and it clearly did some of the reviewers then go get the dvd and knock yourself out otherwise avoid this mess like you would a dark chicago alley where as you hurry by you can only see shadows and hear,negative
i saw gate on its opening week nearly twenty years ago tickets were sold in advance based on the great anticipation of seeing long in the making follow up to his 1978 masterpiece the the reviews came in and critics the film with an influential new york film critic led the way and most critics followed suit and the 40 min film was pulled from distribution united artists had the film by about an hour and it was re released many months later to equally horrible reviews and to dismal business the film at that time cost about 40 million dollars now considered low budget making it one of the most expensive in history and had free on the project with endless despite it being only his third film the had also received a negative based on a perceived political ideology which was not popular i mention all this to present a possible bias building up against at the time i thought the film was very good and when i saw the shorter version it was still very good only less so the film showed up again in a museum in the early 1990's they were supposed to show the long version but they could not find an existing print nevertheless seeing the film years later i now thought gate was a masterpiece finally the long version started to appear in a few cities i got to see it recently and it was well worth the wait gate begins with the ceremony at university two of the are kris kristofferson and john hurt and we some of the flaws in their characters early on despite the joseph gives in his speech to the class to use their education to and improve their country many of the behave as if they are part of an elite country club the film flashes ahead 20 years to johnson county in a cattle company called the association has hired poor people to shoot poor immigrants claiming they are cattle thieves kristofferson sides with the immigrants while john hurt is part of the association although hurt is totally against this insane action he is too a character to do anything about it a massacre takes place but the immigrants do well in defending themselves a united states comes to the rescue of the association to allegedly arrest them after most of the damage has been done when in fact they the mass killing kristofferson also suffers a great personal loss and the film ends with him years later as part of the elite class of his days married bored on a living but dead on the inside br br this is a very complex film which is brilliant in every department such as it's themes structure direction cinematography writing music editing set designs and acting kristofferson walken hurt bridges and are all excellent portraying very complex characters some of the major complaints i read about this film state that is ugly to look at incoherent too long that the characters make no sense and that the words are often in its defense gate has the look of photographs of that period just as mrs miller did some of the scenes are looking to suggest the industrial revolution or sometimes horses people are passing by from all sides creating a sense of reality the critic who called it one of the movies ever made likes to use his thumbs a lot but in spite of all that the composition of each frame and the cinematography are impeccable the film makes a great deal of sense if you pay attention to it everything is not spelled out for the viewer and one has to observe closely to understand the motivations of the characters or its themes as to its length it is a beautifully structured piece at times moving poetic or devastating with virtually one great scene following another at times some of the words are especially in some of the scenes with activity but one could understand such a cinematic film as this through its use of film language the between characters or their actions one day soon this film should be re released in its full length so that people and critics could give it a second chance do not let michael become another orson welles under appreciated in his lifetime and not able to make the kinds of great films he is capable of making,positive

lame is really the best way to describe this movie it has a real poor script uninteresting dialog and characters and it's lacking in basically everything else as well br br there are too many characters and problem is that you don't care about any of them what the movie is lacking is one good and clear main character instead now the movie has a bit of everything it has a bit of an hero it has a bit of a love interest and it has a bit of villain i wish it only had a bit less though they are just mostly very annoying in this movie br br are supposed to be creatures who murder for pleasure in this movie however all they want to do is drink beer and watch naked college girls besides someone had the idea to let the be able to talk this time this works out really poorly and annoying the puppets had been definitely for this movie and they are more detailed looking and are able to do more however at the same time they are way more fake looking than the ones from the previous movies br br it's obvious that the aim for this movie was more comedy than horror this time the movie is like a lame high school comedy even though this movie got released in 1991 it's humor is really the worst and most lame thing about the entire movie it's so incredibly annoying and simply not funny at all br br the story is not going anywhere with its story and the movie is just basically one big mess that never seems to end the plot line seems basically to have nothing to do at all with the other plot lines of the movie involving the human characters the movie is not at all about the a college with the humans trying to hunt them down and stop their rampage no big surprise that this is brent only written movie as of yet he simply has no talent for it and i think that he has discovered this as well and has gone back to college himself instead br br even when compared to the previous movies this movie is just simply terrible br br 2 10,negative

i watch family affairs st east on every week night family affairs is by far the worst bad plots bad sequences and the worst acting of any even worse than the americans and that is saying something br br i find it very frustrating that all these shows on australia are so far behind the uk and when one to find out the reason for this they just you off with some story that they will show double episodes to catch up needless to say this never happens i am very happy that family affairs is going to make space for something of better quality but at the same time i would to know the background reasons did they finally realize how bad it was did people stop watching it whatever it was you leave us in suspense why do you feel that you have to keep everything a secret from your fans or is it that you just don't care i feel strongly that you should try and keep your public up to date family affairs is notorious for just having its characters disappear and for seemingly no reason we do get involved in the people and enjoy following their lives br br i can understand why family affairs would have to come to an end even though we are so far behind here in australia it is easy to see that the writers are running out of ideas for new plots so many plots are being repeated and old episodes coming back i have also noticed that as new characters are being introduced a lot of them are really bad actors like you are the bottom of the barrel and ending up with the regards vince,negative
i remember seeing this film in my late teens or early on tv probably hbo i watched it with my parents a brother and a few friends since that was about 30 years ago i don't remember a lot of the story i do remember that the entire group of us watching agreed that this was the funniest movie we had ever seen when it was over our hurt from so much laughing my dad worked at a hospital so that made it all the better br br every time i see the party in the tv i look to see if this one is there too to my it never is although i loved the party i feel this one is funnier peter sellers was great as a crooked hospital why it's never been released on video is a mystery to me it's a classic but it appears that nobody under 35 or 40 has been allowed to see it i'd buy it in a second if they ever release it to dvd,positive

director don really impressed me with this film it is shot graphic without being visually graphic well acted by all concerned and covers some of the most taboo issues of any day in a almost expected not seen in any other film by this reviewer i didn't know what to expect sitting down to watch this a civil war movie or some kind of 70's soft core with eastwood on a school for girls in the south but really is is neither of those things but rather and examination exploration and descent into the soul of men and women a dark commentary on what is at the core of the as one reviewer previously noted none none of the characters are likable by the film's end and yet each one is interesting complex and enigmatic eastwood plays a union soldier found by young you'll recognize that voice as soon as you hear it a girl at a school for manners headed by page amidst the chaos that was the civil war particularly in the south soon page teacher elizabeth lovely young carol and even amy have emotional sexual ties to eastwood each having their own needs and secrets and problems eastwood is not a nice man he plays the girls off of each other always trying to get the sexual advantage in the unfolding we get some real interesting things revealed from to incest the for me is a masterpiece that far my expectations on every creative front this might be except for invasion of the body best film it certainly is one of eastwood's best real performances page is always so very good and et al excellent the gothic set for the school is effectively claustrophobic some of the sexual laced scenes disturbing and what happens to eastwood is a leg up on much of the competition for creepy eerie demented film,positive
this film looks great and that's about where my praise ends love is a many thing came out in the very year of 1955 when candy nonsense like this co existed with trail blazing artistic fair like kiss me deadly as a trend toward smaller socially conscious films like on the and marty established itself in the mid 50's other directors felt the need to stick with the melodrama that so many other films from that decade and love is one of the latter br br this is the kind of 50's movie where the technicolor is used to its and the lighting is high key even scenes taking place in a dark room or at night are than the average sunny day i never want to hear the theme song again as it's played frequently enough over the course of the film to last anyone a lifetime and i certainly don't want to hear it sung by the shrill ear choir that it out over the end titles jennifer jones and william are passable but really anybody could have played these parts jones' role is horribly written her character is incredibly inconsistent and it seems as if whenever her character is required to make a decision about something the screenwriters a to decide what that decision would be br br people will undoubtedly tell me i'm taking this film too seriously that i'm etc but i loved all that heaven allows released the same year and just as in its own way except that douglas sirk is able to turn melodrama into an art form whereas henry king director of love is not br br i'm usually able to enjoy bad melodrama but in this case i was just bored br br grade d,negative

well i tend to watch films for one of three reasons unfortunately there are no transformers in this film so i can recommend it only on comedy value and pretty women read girls br br yes it is funny i know this due to the number of people in the cinema who were laughing on a regular basis throughout personally though i loved it for laura who imho is fit,positive
i was expecting this to be just like the others tries to be scary ends up looking silly somewhere along the line the writers must have realised this and so took the film in a totally different direction basically ignoring the other films this feels like a different film rather than the fourth entry in the child's play series the new idea works making this the best in the series by far,positive
i'm a big fan of patricia and so i watched this show when it came on a e some years ago the show was strange to say the least but i gave it a chance because i liked these actresses this has got to be one of the worst shows i've ever seen i wouldn't watch it again and certainly wouldn't waste money on buying the video the storyline of this tv version is ludicrous and just plain stupid the pun intended comes when ruth has surgery done on her leg bones that kind of nonsense belongs in james bond and sci fi movies if this version is true to the book then i won't be checking the book out from my local library the american version came out some years after i'd seen this original to my surprise the americans got it right this time as their version with meryl streep and is played for laughs and is rather funny when played for laughs the storyline works,negative
one look at the rating ought to tell you this movie was voted on by in an attempt to boost this film's ratings br br this film brings nothing new to the zombie genre in fact it is laughably bad in acting and cinematography and derivative in its plot the make up looks horrible and the zombies look even worse when shot lines are delivered and badly timed with the exception of the female bounty hunter who is the only good actor in this mess of a film the worst are the italian guy hans the protagonist and the lead bad guy i've seen better delivery from pizza truck with a flat tire br br this is a self zombie western but about the only thing that makes this a zombie western is the fact that people wear cowboy hats and the lead actor's real name is clint the protagonist isn't cool and mysterious like a traditional eastwood hero and as an anti hero he doesn't have the wise cracking attitude to pull it off either br br don't be fooled by the fake glowing reviews this is just another b grade zombie movie that's competently made for the budget it had it does have some decent lighting but it of low budget first time directing and bad acting there are a lot of really stupid scenes that make this look really amateurish,negative

i saw the trailer and read some reviews and i had low expectations for this movie i was pleasantly surprised while the plot is a little off beat everybody in the making of this movie pulled off a pleasant flick good for many a laugh the writing and jokes are far more than i have come to expect better yet they are delivered with by unknown actors doing a good job all of them br br the main reasons i wanted to see this movie were justin long and lewis black long is from ed and the new apple computer ads he was just coming into his own as an actor in ed and he was excellent here he's a natural in front of the camera lewis black is a social who pulls no punches he's on the daily show on comedy central about once every two weeks but he really shines in red white and screwed i regularly catch him on comedy channel give black an idea and let him whether his and lines here are scripted or improvised are no matter he's priceless delivering his thoughts on middle class angst one thing about delivery his hand gestures are not those of a comedian it just seems like he's having a conversation with you and i think that makes him more effective,positive
the horror of this made for tv film was that it didn't end with this one it a regular weekly series that was even worse than the pilot movie most films about various have some type of realism to them and of course are up to make it exciting this had none of that if the intent was to make in camp then it succeeded it on cable a couple of years ago and failed again richard performance as the master chief who does it all was the only redeeming part of this film than the batman series of the 60's,negative

not having seen the film in its commercial debut we just caught with it via dvd expecting the worst proved to be a pleasant experience because of the three principals in it thanks to andy direction the film has an easy pace and while predictable the comedy has some winning moments br br is a sort of date for losers like albert who is not exactly what one would consider a hunk yet albert is a genuine guy who without some professional help would go by the same women he would like to take out enter to prepare him to overcome the obstacles that he can't overcome and even though albert stays overweight and never gets to master social he us because he is a real in sharp contrast with all the making the rounds in manhattan br br the basic mistake most production make when preparing locales for hollywood films is how out of touch with reality they are the apartments in which they these characters are so rare to find that only by the magic of the movies can these people live in places likes these evidently most of the movie people are dealing with fantasy since most city would kill for spaces so fabulous as the ones they show in the movies let alone these same people depicted in the film would not be able to afford them br br will smith is a charismatic actor he has a way to charm without doing much the surprise of the movie though is kevin james who as the overweight albert not only win us over but he proves he can hold his own in his scenes with mr smith eva is fine as the main interest of in minor roles we see adam arkin michael and phillip among others br br is a fun film to watch thanks to the inspired direction by andy tenant,positive
now being a fan of sci fi the trailer for this film looked a bit too how do i put it hollywood but after watching it i can gladly say it has impressed me greatly jude is a class actor and miss leigh pulls it off better than she did in it brings films like the matrix 12 monkeys and the cell into mind which might not sound that appealing but it truly is one of the best films i have seen,positive

why would anyone make a film like this why would anybody in a film like this why would anybody in the film business work on a film like this why would any theatre show a film like this why would any tv channel program a film like this why would any critic bother to review a film like this why would anybody watch a film like this why would mental not be made of the writers producers directors of a film like this sometimes there are movies that are so bad they're good this is a movie that is so ghastly that it's horrible imdb really must a 0 or even a minus scale to embrace works of this pretentious awfulness,negative
if this film had been directed by griffith or stanley kubrick it would be recognized for what it is a cinematic masterpiece told with depth and subtlety and passion a film with no equal in the visual realm it is stunning and also very brutal in its depiction of our great of greed and and of course what the reviewers could not is it doesn't tell a simple narrative dick and jane tale like 99 of hollywood its characters are complex and confused by their passions and thoughts fears and emotions they even appear to be thinking something your average movie reviewers do not understand and cannot so they destroyed it see the original uncut wide screen version it is stunning,positive
seems to me that joe spends most of his time hidden under the shadow of his rather successful brother and appearing in really bad movies joe spends most his time walking around dressed in black and looking quite moody he takes orders from a faced angel of death who you might recognize as the faced villain from tango cash and as the faced cyborg from future war well joe and have a job to do and it involves taking some souls of some kids in a big car being driven by a dumb who questions led well the car crashes and the chase is on the lucky kids to escape joe look like and rick they're chased around town break things and gets at by her mom while she's for a bath the action winds up at a hospital where we learn that heaven is an elevator ride away in the end some green lights flash joe shouts and without a trace wish i could say the same for this movie watch it from the relative safety of,negative

i am a regular reader of kathy brennan novels as such i am extremely surprised she even on this show br br it is horrible by comparison to the books the brennan character is in the books a down to earth recovering alcoholic and divorced mom of a college aged daughter in she is an arrogant with rich who in typical p c fashion is not a mother the emphasis on her staff complete with lurid details of who has had how many sexual exploits is totally in contrast with the books br br in total to the p c movement she portrays the enemies of the u s as peace lovers some of the information isn't even correct for example having a character from afghanistan as an active member of an arab american friendship group since when is an an arab i'm sure if negative references were made to or women or the show's producers writers directors would have to issue an however in typical far left fashion all of the racial go to the highest achieving minority group as david agent booth continually refers to angela as a br br forget that stuff and forget this show after 'the man in the episode i thought i'd try a second episode to see if it got any better it only got worse i don't even care if the teenager in question was murdered or committed suicide and i won't be watching the show ever again,negative
larry bishop the writer actor director focuses too heavily on the camera music and visuals the film to meaningless and vulgar monologues which seem to have no purpose other than boring and irritating the audience the actors experience a ride from the film's start to finish and are caught in one terrible smoke screen the hell with the ride the film is a bomb br br the are presented as who seek their own form of justice for what they see as they are anti heroes and protagonists played by larry bishop is the leader of the pack the michael madsen is trapped in his own of chaos and br br eric is loyal but mysterious performed by david carradine should have passed on the ride and so should the ticket if you decide to see the film you'll be sorry but you'll find out why billy wings jones is a and character completely filled with disdain br br what me is how this film with all of its and ever got anybody to in a ride that absolutely goes nowhere ticket take my advice don't pay for the ride please don't make the same mistake as the br br the first fifteen minutes or so of the movie is confusing and the dialog which rapidly turn into meaningless monologues doesn't make any sense the entire film is hell bent on going nowhere poor dennis hopper is caught in the middle of a real mess he too should have passed on the ride there are decapitated heads throats and nude females wrestling it is clear that bishop doesn't know where he is going with the film he gets entirely lost but by the end of the ride you just won't give a damn mama stay home and by all means don't take the ride i rate this film a 1 out of 10 but this movie is so awful it deserves a zero,negative
i saw bits and pieces of this on tv once and when a friend recommended it i began looking for it even though it seemed no place nearby had it i finally got a hold of it in an store and couldn't wait to watch it oh that i had seen it a couple years earlier and could've really enjoyed it i was surprised that this movie was only 80 or so minutes long and i think this is what made the plot and story so lacking the plot really does sound like a good one both on the trailer and the movie comments a teenager jesse and his stray lab yellow are on an island during a storm on a boat trip with his father bruce together they manage to survive the wilderness and wait to be found and rescued still what is never mentioned is that everything is and the events of the plot are very rushed there is a possible love interest between and sara but they're never shown together for more than a moment yellow is a mischievous dog the parents are reluctant to keep but in a few days he seems to be appreciated enough to join a boat trip the scene of the mother rogers mentioning vaguely what death is like to the younger boy joel doesn't go anywhere in no time we learn that 9 days have been spent on the island then suddenly it's 14 then 19 of all the animals a could be exposed to in the wild only 1 kind a wolf attacks them why couldn't something else have been a problem instead of having the same type of animal maybe even the same one strike twice there are few views of how food except when he discovers fruit and roots and when he a trapped rat if he knows so much about survival skills why weren't more scenes with it shown the one thing that made me blank was why the dog didn't have much part alone when he is rescued and the dog is left behind on the island there is no scene showing how he survives without a help i wished i was more open to this when watching it but i did enjoy some of this the acting was good and the score was enjoyable though i found myself wondering why the father looked so much older than his family and why he and the main search and rescue conductor share names this is a good movie for kids but though the protagonist is 14 nobody over 10 would be interested with this,negative
i watched this movie with my mother she is old and was raised to be a she even this i don't think she really understood what was happening she had already made up her mind that the kid was guilty scary i felt for this child and his family what torture they went through and remained faithful that is true faith back to the movie i was disgusted by the police force and their i am so glad that this public was chosen to work this case it was very fortunate for this family that they had a person that cared enough to see through the crap that was handed to him i could tell when one the cops was lying he would not look the in the eyes his eyes moved to the side when he answered the questions it is unfortunate that a black person has to be because of the color of his skin i read the book about the black man being dragged behind a truck by three white men they were finally found guilty after many years i can't remember the title but it was the same premise whites doing whatever they want with blacks i am sure the child in the movie will be traumatized for a long time if not forever i pointed out to my mother that most serial killers and are white no comment from her i want to the director and producer of this film i feel the exposure they gave to this blatant injustice was a necessary project i am an avid viewer of films i feel that they are well written and have substance i am pleased that i happened to grab this movie on the shelf i felt compelled to write a comment because of how strongly i feel about the film and the prejudice that continues to exist in our modern society,positive
this one man show may be the most fantastic show i've ever seen to call this simply a stand up act is to do it a great injustice there is a reason that this was a broadway show john is a master of making people of every culture feel at home listening to his story of growing up and dealing with his family and life in general i would this show to anyone as long as they can handle the language,positive
director screenwriter allan burns seems to have two different scripts together before coming up with this minor outing a comedy about infidelity and a melodrama about loss and it results in a unfunny film christine plays a crass cynical tv news reporter who makes friends with mary tyler moore and is soon having dinner with moore and her family only to discover husband ted is secret affair burns has a strange stop and start rhythm to his dialogue which is neither realistic nor effective just increasingly annoying because nothing important ever seems to get said thin moore looking in her has a smile but doesn't convince as wife and gets stuck with a role he's just there to be a the movie attempts to cover all the in a classic case of woman's role in the the tv news the cheating family man the working wife and mother who wants more a woman's need for female friendships et al but nothing substantial comes out of these ideas since burns only half the issues as a writer he is surprisingly free of but is devoid of a purpose as well and the heavy plotting just gets all up 1 2 from,negative
a truly masterful piece of filmmaking it managed to put me to sleep and to my mind so boring that it sleep and yet so ludicrous that it made me wonder how stuff like this gets made avoid at all costs that is unless you like taking invisible punishment in which case i highly recommend it,negative
imagination must of slipped jim mind when he wrote the script to this one i don't mind when the animals scenes are almost identical but when the actors repeat lines from other movies is going a little too far i did enjoy seeing jay richardson and ann gilbert get eaten gloria brings nothing to a movie but her tits my husbands sentiments should of stayed on survival island her acting is stiff unbelievable and she just a plain liked the scene where the comes out of the ocean eats the guy then for added flavor destroys the at least we know the next plot giant snake man before becoming daddy to a nest of eggs would be great as the mother sit back with a 6 or a couple of it will ease the pain,negative
this film has haunted me since i saw it when i was about 8 years old i didn't know what it was called so am so pleased to have it down finally i remember being quite scared because i'd just been to a tin mine in when i watched it so could imagine it all fortunately i didn't see any ghosts of dead children there but i found this film really quite disturbing and scary when i was much younger i've certainly never forgotten it even though i couldn't find it anywhere i seem to remember the children's film foundation films being generally good but they don't show them at all any more i also remember like the children of green in the same era on bbc equally unsettling in its own way,positive
a good ol' boy film is almost required to have car chases a storyline that has a vague resemblance to plot and at least one very pretty country gal with short shorts and a low top the pretty gal is here dressed in designer but the redneck stop there jimmy dean is a natural as a but as a tough guy former sheriff he comes up way short big john is big but he isn't convincing with the bad part of his bug eyed jack is a hoot as always and bo hopkins has been playing this same part for decades ned beatty also does his part in a small role but there is no story it more like an episode of in the heat of the night than a feature film with easily predictable sentiment perhaps the most glaring problem with this movie is charlie daniels singing the theme you know the one it was made famous by jimmy dean,negative
this is the movie that is somewhat based on the exit of rob from british metal gods and how the band replaced him with who used to front a priest tribute band originally titled metal god this movie could have been something great instead someone in an office somewhere who knows little to nothing about metal music decided to water it down from the title change of metal god to the middle of the road to the lame soundtrack this movie plays out badly having spent most of my life in a professional metal band i was really looking forward to seeing this i was very let down by several points of the film the soundtrack is very not metal for one and the ending of the movie is lame as well the movie does have a few bright spots in the writing and acting but as a whole it fails in the end because 1 a movie based on a metal band should have a metal soundtrack 2 there is nothing metal about mark or jennifer aniston if bon warrant and poison are your idea of go see this movie if iron maiden priest black are your idea of metal see this movie for a good laugh,negative
alert this review contains major spoilers do not read on if you plan to see this film br br judging from the amount of votes this got my vote was the fifth one very few people know or care who is well back in the late 1980s professional wrestling was pretty decent an all woman's called the ladies professional wrestling association opened it was a great league and was one of the names on the i always thought she was one of the best people the had in terms of ring skill and acting ability unfortunately the closed down in the early 90s so it only seemed natural for someone with as much talent as to start an acting career right but surely there was an alternative to stuff like this this movie is really bad as it was going along i kept comparing it to an underrated movie called survivor quest ' only this film lacks everything that made survivor enjoyable br br as i started the tape i went to fast forward through the preview to get to the meat of the tape at first i wasn't paying much attention but then i realized that the preview was for a movie starring oh ' i thought here's another movie featuring to look for ' but as the preview dragged on i became aware that is was a preview fear ' you know you're in trouble when the only preview at the beginning features the movie you are about to watch the plot of this thing is pretty standard plays an ex that is living with the guilt of an friend so she focuses herself on her second career which she shares with her friend sammy being a wilderness guide on this particular occasion she gets a of three couples two of the couples are just there to take up space you think that one couple a husband and a korean wife will be explored as an issue appears between them halfway through the film but it is ignored in favor of repeated jokes about bears in the woods which consistently scares the korean wife the joke is funny the first time you hear it but it certainly isn't by the time they do it the third couple is just painful to watch it consists of mr and mrs page they trade insults back and forth and mr page uses his video camera for the art of when he's not busy playing cruel jokes on his just like your typical american couple before the mr page is on two stupid guys and their prostitute one of them accidentally kills the prostitute and finds out mr page taped it so begins the peril as the two guys track the group on their trip and we and and and wait for them to finally do something when they do it's a fiasco br br you can't blame the cast they try as hard as they can with the material they have to work with the main is director robert f who needs to go back to playing bit parts and stay out of the director's chair starts and stops scenes in such a sloppy sudden matter that you start to think he was suffering from throughout the entire shoot there's even one incompetent moment when a broad daylight scene with the thugs is slipped between some scenes then there is the sound department the music and background noise completely the dialogue so that you have to move your ear right next to your don't your head on the screen it isn't worth it to hear the poorly written lines speaking of poor writing gets some of the credit there as co writer the few interesting developments between characters are often abandoned for shots of the thugs or bad practical jokes early on knocks out a thug with a knife so not once do you think they are in any danger from the two stupid thugs when the crooks finally get their rear ends kicked by in a well done and long fight our cast all have a huge laugh together despite the fact that one of them has been shot and is bleeding everywhere yes everyone is happy in the end everyone except the poor souls witnessing the film wishing for the good old glory days when performed in the wrestling ring score 4 out of 10,negative
well i'm a huge fan and of elizabeth i bought this on dvd off of ebay for my boyfriends birthday we sat down to watch it and it was so boring i don't remember laughing once it's only on for about an hour and half and it seemed to take forever to end elizabeth is great in this though maybe it's just because i'm a big elizabeth fan though if she wasn't in it i wouldn't have watched it but every time she came on my face lit up unfortunately even elizabeth couldn't save this film just the overall story and awful comedy makes this a film you'd rather miss than waste an hour and a half of your life it's a very film,negative

well what's wrong with the title separate lies accused elsewhere of not being exciting it's cunning subtle and a bit poetic of course there's a phil collins song and a james belushi film called separate lives which are to here br br but the real point is the of telling lies at different levels that the film ok it's not an in your face hilarious title but then it's not an in your face hilarious film please give british films like this a chance they do try to make people think about important things as here how far do you go to protect your life even if it is a bit rotten against unexpected disaster maybe you tell lies maybe you ignore your loved lies that can wear a lot of people out br br american movies on this theme are but they usually go much further by involving the use of which are not a part of everyday life here in europe br br maybe we're not so exciting over here but we don't expect like film titles for films that are not aimed at a massive public,positive

ronald coleman had been a star of the screen for several years when came in and what a boost it was to his career his english accent is so enthralling i could listen to him the and not be bored br br coleman plays willie hale a playboy from a wealthy family who spends his time and gambling yet he's a likable rogue not only likable from the standpoint of the audience but by family and friends too he has yet again gone broke due to his constant gambling and sells off his in a foreign location to settle his and provide passage back home to england when he gets there he at first is met by a father who insists he'll kick him out he's had it with willie and his ways however five minutes alone in a room with willie and his charm and willie is not only forgiven by dad dad has given him one hundred pounds to boot br br willie then goes for a day's recreation with his sister and her friend dorothy hope loretta young dorothy is set to be engaged to the grand duke paul that very night mainly just because her dad wants in the family and there is nobody else special in her life that changes after her day with willie and soon there is a scandal as dorothy refuses to go through with the marriage as planned br br ronald coleman is always a delight to watch in these early talking films he did for sam where he is playing the confident or or both he has a demeanor akin to errol flynn but he is unable to display physical due to a wound he received during world war i however what he lacks in physical coleman always made up in of soul loretta young only 17 when this picture was made shows the beginning of her trademark sweet girl that can into a ball of fire when the occasion calls for it myrna loy plays girl from the past mary a here myrna is still playing a part similar to the exotic parts she got stuck with so often over at warner brothers when she was a contract player from until shortly before this movie was made in 1930 br br this is pretty much a light and romantic comedy from start to finish if you're in a mood for the kind of entertainment that the hearts of audiences during the great depression this little film fits the bill,positive
it's amazing that such a cliche ridden angst film actually got made in the first place the characters are so weak and the acting so uninspired that it's impossible to care about any of them especially brooke the temptation to fast forward through the slow parts is almost irresistible if you like this genre you'd be better off renting or bodies rest motion,negative

i loved the movie i knew nothing about the movie before watching it therefore i had no outside influence or information to guide me in what i was seeing unfold on the screen in retrospect i would advise anyone interested in the movie to watch it if for no other reason than the quality actors who appear in it do not read anything about the plot story line or of the movie in fact stop reading anything further in my comments although i believe they are general and would not spoil the movie for you i don't want to the value of the movie to you find your own path of meaning in this film or it is in its potential br br in general i found the 3 strangers in puzzling as the movie unfolds they could qualify as three entertaining from a mental hospital or the dreams and hallucinations of a sick and young boy or three angels sent to find the lost angel br br the sick and perhaps dying boy works to convince the three strangers to abandon the search for the lost angel become his mother father and take him safely far away from no less than 1000 miles he even declares that he is the lost angel to try to manipulate them all to be his guardian only one of the three responds to the boy on a positive basis the other two have no real enthusiasm or passion for this involvement br br the priest who is the sick boy demonstrates a depth of caring for people and a deep conviction toward his faith he the and of and its people he is the light of goodness and hope to both and to the movie viewer br br near the climax of the movie the boy and new guardian journey over land to a field where a plane waits they board to find the other two strangers also on the plane in fact one is the pilot the start and the plane takes off br br who are the 3 strangers if only one stranger was interested in helping the boy why were all three on the plane where is the plane going did the other two find the lost angel is there a lost angel and if so who is it who are the six men dressed like if all of this is just the sick boy's dreams how did one of the 3 strangers end up reaching out to help one of the men dressed like an undertaker when he jumped and hit his head neither the boy or strangers had contact with these men br br one or two sentences written under the title telling people what this movie is about is a tragic mistake this is not a spoiler it's statement about advertising only so if you haven't seen the movie the questions above show only a few of the interesting and fun in the road of thought when you view the film if you read the advertising summary of the plot of the movie before you watched it previously maybe you ought to look at some of the questions above and watch it again i know i will br br terry,positive

br br this film was produced and released as a to a ghastly although fairly popular slapstick beach comedy called but it has little or no connection with the earlier film and is better completely in its own right it is certainly better than i and is more closely related to films such as and summer lovers which were also filmed during summer in the greek islands the combination of on blue with beautiful bare makes for seductive viewing but except for just designed to help plan your next holiday even such films require an adequate story line if they are to hold a viewers attention for more than a very few minutes was by the legend of the re incarnation of the and summer lovers had the of a a as its theme in my view both these films were much more successful than ii which has a very story line and depends too much on simplistic semi slapstick comedy the use of slapstick quickly becomes tedious it usually leads to a series of very short self contained cameo sequences that are hard to into an ongoing story line mel brooks achieved this brilliantly with silent movie but few other films have succeeded in the same way and ii unfortunately does not there is also the problem that the slapstick sequences do not co habit happily with the and peaceful scenario in which the film is set the final airport sequences were no doubt intended to provide a hilarious ending for this film but in my opinion they are an example of the worst type of slapstick pseudo comedy they are also grossly overlong so i left the cinema with a bad taste left in my mouth this is a film which could have been much more successful with a stronger story line and with most of its slapstick sequences very heavily as it was released it certainly does not warrant a viewers rating higher than 3 br br there is little memorable in the acting but the cast does its best within the limitations by a story line and poor direction it is in these latter areas that the failure br br,negative
on paper this movie has some chops a street kid past trauma his life and when the world would have written him off great stuff everyone loves a happy ending br br in the theater though there were some that left the movie dead inside the dialog was hollow and uninteresting the characters were almost cartoonish in their lack of dimension and complexity and why did everyone need to be gay i have nothing against homosexual themes or characters in a movie but when it's used in this fashion not only is is offensive to it the lifestyle and the movie if the story works without this cheap trick it should have been cut br br every character seemed to come out of the same cookie cutter form each had one major flaw and one minor flaw every character is good hearted were they succeed or not and everyone one of them had or is in an abusive relationship with someone br br the most annoying fact of the movie is that they never let you get over that the name comes from great expectations they give it to you once and that should be enough the story shares enough with the dickens classic to make this fact obvious br br the most interesting part of the film is the story of the grandfather and the he leaves for and how the main character learns how to grow up from the lessons learned from the tape in the end with lessons learned confronts his dark past and movies forward with his life,negative
i first saw love in playing late on free to air tv about five years ago and since then it's a movie i'll always remember as one of those films you see and are forever influenced by br br for the australian film has a long history of making off beat comedies about lovable losers and love in is a sterling example of this whilst is the only name actor in it although these days he's all a movie needs the rest of the aussie cast is good he still steals the show as a nervous nerdy virgin loser though br br the general premise is a lot like american pie a group of friends wanting to get laid and become men as you'd expect the entire movie on this with a sub plot about the mother and various other incidents and is full of humorous situations that push it towards the inevitably sweet ending br br if you enjoyed american pie don't expect this to be the same but expect the same conventions to make appearances love in isn't a gross out romantic comedy but it definitely has its share of laughs fist moments when the good guy wins and the situations every guy australian or otherwise can relate to br br see it if you liked american pie almost famous strengths good aussie cast easy to relate to good value weaknesses predictable at points my rating 8 out of 10,positive
am i the only one to notice that the realism of the 19th century ship is actually it's a century right around if memory serves me because the realistic ship in the movie is the now as far as i know the never went to australia or even attempted a voyage to australia i don't know who handled r d for this film but using the and hoping that no one will notice is a poor job indeed br br they even it on the cover art and the dvd i wonder how may other people noticed this little not to mention that the movie itself was just plain awful i would have expected better from sam,negative
i don't understand how some people can stand playing half life counter strike when there are so many better first person shooting games available br br counter strike is a game that doesn't use any imaginative ideas in its all the weapons in the game are real life weapons but there could have been at least a cheat that allowed players to have access to a supernatural weapon like the all powerful in the doom games br br another problem is that the player actually has to the weapon this can become extremely annoying especially while in the middle of a when you are so close to killing the enemy the also gives the feeling that the gun is slow at performing its task br br there are not many choices of characters to choose from if i remember correctly there are 4 types of characters each for the terrorist and counter terrorist forces this means that many of the characters look the same as each other which really brings down the realism br br the game is pretty sexist when it comes to character in the early version of counter strike there was a woman available to choose in the terrorist force selection which was good for the female in the latest versions however the female character was deleted and replaced with another male character i wonder if the women who played the game were disappointed at the newer versions br br finally the in the game are very small the biggest map seems to be the desert map but it has standard detail in fact all the in the game have standard graphics in other words nothing new br br to sum up i think half life counter strike is the most un imaginative first person shooting game of all time there are plenty of better more imaginative shooting games to play so why waste your time on this boring game you're better off playing the unreal and doom games avoid this over rated over hyped game br br i give the game a 1 10,negative

what an absolute joke of a movie the case for this film would have you believe it is duel meets meets texas chainsaw massacre three good films in their own right and you would think using their couldn't go far wrong well that's what i thought and i was very very mistaken br br we follow two college students as they travel miles across the desert to reach a wedding they pick up a girl no she doesn't get her clothes off then they get chased by a rip off in a monster truck whom they name f aka monster man br br the monster truck i will admit is a very cool vehicle but the less than suspenseful chase scenes ruin it's potential br br so decides he's got a bit of a grudge against these guys and chases them for a bit they loose him for a while and stop at a bar full of then they go to a motel where lead character adam sleeps with sarah though they both wear underwear then they are caught by taken to his home where they escape death and try to kill but fail hence the set up for the sequel apart from a minor that's it br br if you can get past the first 2 minutes – where friend pops up from hiding in the back of car to try to scare him with no explanation as to how even got there how long ago or how adam even failed to realise – without thinking you hate it already then you may just enjoy this film br br monster man has very poor cinematography and direction which is immediately off putting this is the kind of movie that you'll be able to pick up as one of those films in a box set of 20 horror movies that you've never heard of br br what is so irritating is blockbuster stock so many of these poor quality films that are shot on digital by some amateur film students and that's exactly what is though imdb states this particular director was born in br br the acting throughout this film is atrocious the script which the writer obviously considered to be funny is irritating and childish you get the impression only one draft was written before they started shooting in fact the script is do dire a lot of the film seems improvised full of those boring un entertaining conversations that are only funny or important to the actual people involved imagine you filmed yourself and your buddies having a conversation sure points are funny – to you but mostly it's trash that's what the script for is like br br don't watch it for the gore either – it's fairly minimal and there are much better gory films out there bad taste evil dead et br br 1 2 even with their cheesiness and plot holes are far superior to this film compare the intro of to the intro of monster man and you'll see what i mean,negative

a must see documentary this movie had so many things to consider while watching it it was a great documentary of a trial of a 15 year old black kid named butler he accused of killing a white tourist in florida it shows how the police took statements from the husband of the dead woman of the description of the man that killed his wife the husband seemed to want to change some things to with what the police said the young man was wearing the police little to investigate the crime lawyer patrick is in getting information to help his client he tells the viewers what he thinks and the he will use on the police to show their investigation and against his young client to get him to confess the camera goes with to where was also takes pictures of the room and how the audio is he questions a policeman on the stand and ask what the heard say to one of the and he challenges their own words with ann each place the police should have gone and the things they should have done but did not the movie shows the as a loving christian family who have faith in their son's innocence and faith that god will set free they visit him in jail and pray with him there to encourage him there are scenes of group for the lawyers the judge and everyone involved in this case i am a white and i was surprised to see how blacks in high police positions treat other blacks it was very disappointing to see black and white police stick together when they think they got their man police have a hard job and i believe most of them are honorable not like the ones in this movie i think this is a great movie for anyone involved in the system including judges police and lawyers and even potential to watch this movie and learn from it,positive
what a terrible movie it represents perfectly the state of of french society where the most respect for wholesome values and traditions has completely disappeared the plot is nonsensical the movie is not funny at all and the characters are completely shallow and uninteresting to say the least the direction and the cinematography are very poor and uninspired catherine is as bad an actress as she always was even when she was directed by in belle de the rest of the usually good cast vincent line jean seem completely lost in an ocean of and i cannot help to draw a parallel with the wonderful james le divorce with its thoughtful depiction of french and american its cinematography and stellar cast put to good use having watched le divorce you can feel a kind of empathy with the french regardless of their belle leaves you with only a contempt for its morally and clueless protagonists,negative
this movie got better with time i can't believe that it has been forty years since i saw this at the age of 15 yes that's right movie ratings were not yet a reality so any teenager could walk into any movie imagine what it was like for a kid my age to see both midnight cowboy and in the same year imagine the times bobby kennedy and martin king has just been killed but the following summer had a man walking on the moon and was the chance to stick it to the man you'll see where robert downey jr got his brilliance his old man was an instant hero to kids like me no punches are pulled in this classic and aging hippies will when they this era hopefully new flower children will be by it and this current era of will come under the same my era was subjected to,positive
nothing like this was seen on tv at that time and probably never will again from the first image of that police light you and from there you heard the words police squad in color you were to see that this in no way was an ordinary sitcom br br also to kill off a guest star and then never refer to him again where had you ever seen that before then the actual show started and if you did not pay attention you would miss several jokes in the background don't pay too much attention to one thing or you would be sorry this was the show that video were made for way before married with children or the simpsons br br the stories did in no way make sense and the dialog was sometimes so weird that you had to think about it for 5 minutes before that it was a joke br br the characters frank and ed came right out of and they were absolutely straight no funny accents or expressions but instead there were and twisted sentences played absolutely deadpan only once as i can remember were there a segment played for silly laughs a scene involving a trip to a dentist and a whole lot of br br there were some tedious moments like the informer johnny and an appearance by some celebrity that was strictly a one joke moment but they had to use it in all six episodes oh well everything can't be perfect the important thing is that the rest of the time you were deep in tears of laughter br br leslie was fortunate that this his career when they put the frank character in 3 features but it must have been an as well can you remember seeing him in anything except naked gun type work since and don't count the awful mr for live action he probably made a lot of money though,positive
lord is kiddie fare but for whose kids obviously shot for television or this amateurish rehash has several stock characters a magician an assassin a warrior a scientist on the trail of something or other in order to defeat the dark forces about to be unleashed on their planet badly written acted and staged in available california locations like parks and a ranch lord has nothing to recommend it not even as a time jay is the only name actor and most people especially the intended audience of five year olds are not likely to remember him from such ancient disney fare as not quite human a no name actor playing a magician in an ill fitting silver wig at least plays it with tongue planted firmly in cheek while those around him act as if they are in a dinner theater production of king i was hoping at least for a decent action or special effects sequence alas the action sequences are staged and the few special effects are those old fashioned painted over cartoon gags we used to see in 1950s and 1960s fantasy flicks like bert the magic sword the filmmakers planned a sequel that mercifully never came to be often such cheap hollywood back lot productions use a combination of and porn actors i kept myself occupied during the film's seemingly interminable running time trying to figure which was which in this one i didn't have much luck,negative
the problem with other actors cast in the of gray is that they either looked too old for the part josh david ben barnes or that they were unable to pull off the english manner without being stilted is the 19 year old or so all skin and locks as described by so the challenge is finding an actor that has the maturity and range for the part i e who can portray the and but at the same time looks like someone in his late teens and peter pulls it all off in this excellent british tv adaptation br br gielgud as henry while considerably older than what had in mind does wonders with his scenes have never sounded so natural and especially george sanders in the 1945 version was pretty feeble by comparison and his costume didn't fit br br finally jeremy plays basil as the most and at the same time the most gay of the trio again a fitting interpretation in general the film includes enough gay subtext without turning himself gay he's all things to all people and supposedly there's no drug or sexual he hasn't tried in the 18 years covered by the story but that makes him more than homosexual he seems to equally havoc on both here as he should according to the novel br br of course the budget of this production was not very large so everything feels a little particularly encounter with brother suffers from the obvious studio look also the final shot of a puppet i suppose in his white like make up is more hilarious than convincing and death scene is inadvertently funny also as far as i recall basil should have been killed at the table br br but all in all this is a very worthy adaptation i'm sure would have liked it the only thing missing is the sensual side not so much sex scenes but world of flowers and precious gems isn't really explored here i e the is completely missing but like i the excellent acting makes one easily forget these shortcomings of production values,positive
first off just to say i didn't get the edition i thought i would i chose the italian version over the but what actually arrived was a uk release from 1998 claiming to be a special edition i never knew there was a uk dvd release but the promised were not actually on the disc just a couple of duff trailers anyway as to the film itself just as i was recovering from night train murders my second thriller turns up in the same month this time in an italian uk are being and teacher married but one of his students becomes the main suspect is the detective on the case sorry to say i was less than it was watchable but more than equally miss able and aside from the aforementioned gruesome nature of the crime the surprise killing of which was actually by the dvd cover telling me about it and a surprise twist that cast the victims in a new light i thought this was very routine put me off the two sequels though with brooks and i spit on your grave keaton,negative

as a big fan i had always been disappointed with hollywood's attempts to get into the russian romantic aesthetic case in point as i had thought the whole problem was a poor casting decisions but then i saw as major and changed my mind when given an intelligent script to work with he suddenly came alive and was as noble sexy and conflicted as you could ever want a neurotic russian officer to be so he was a better as major than he was as but that's because writer actually gave as the conflicted russian officer the kind of conflicted russian officer lines that are worthy of real literature and that have real meaning and pathos in them for example a of folk music he says you hear a man crying in the dark and if you listen carefully enough you know what he cries for you look surprised lady despite what you may have heard and aren't the only things the russian cares for there is always time for music br br brilliant,positive

i'll not comment a lot what's to stereotype characters absolute ignorance about reality awful en scene poor color choice not funny it supposed to be a comedy and they expect that you will laugh because some music it's beside the nonsense scenes very poor actors direction if you see somewhere those people i mean the you'll know they are at least good but seeing this so call film it is impossible to guess it you get tired of the music this comedy has no rhythm the only good rhythm in it it's the rap sing in the final credits pathetic doesn't it etc etc it has been a long time i haven't seen a movie so bad,negative

seriously people need to up and just accept that funny is funny and this movie is f king hilarious better than the first and really grew a pair for this film and did way more stunts then the first if ebert and not saying that i'm a huge fan of theirs can look past the pure idiocy of this film enough to give it 2 thumbs up then i think other people can to i wasn't sure what to expect from this but i was and it is rare when a sequel is better than the original this new one i believe the first big time so do what i did just relax kick back try not to at some points and laugh your ass off,positive
i really loved seeing this movie i think it's a brilliant underrated alfred hitchcock movie everyone is familiar with the famous statue of liberty scene but there's a really great movie before that robert is great in what i consider to be his greatest role and the beautiful lane shows that she has a lot of talent too but i think norman lloyd gives the best performance his character is so evil and even though he's not in it for very long the movie wouldn't be the same without him br br is a great movie that every hitchcock fan should see i give it a 10 out of 10,positive
i think that mario van movie is a very important film it is an excellent entry point film to a side of history many are not aware of this is a story of early black cow boys and returning from the spanish american war with a of gold the main character is haunted by memories of his murdered father the racism applied to the new black and is explored in this film with excellent casting including van father billy zane stephen baldwin and a wonderful performance by big daddy kane br br one senses that to use as many notable black and some not so notable smile actors as possible perhaps too many some notable persons hayes pamela are only scene in cameo others briefly such as tone the sentiment and efforts of efforts to expose these actors will be understood by some the large cast a feat for any director work well and do a good job of telling the story in the classic revenge and fight vs justice western br br most noteworthy was the wonderful narrative role of veteran actor woody from once upon a time in the west who's own life was a within the context of a previous era not yet completed faded from memory no other actor could have done this role better read the mini bio on woody here as a http imdb com name bio br br the film does a good job of action with a bit of humour the dialog was excellent if a bit contemporary and as others have mentioned the profanity was not accurate to that period the sex scene was a bit much not really needed there are some historical inaccuracies such as the seeming electronic of the cattle etc but is a good effort to hopefully open the door for more historical and creative works of other stories and events the actual photos of real at the end credits was very nice touch,positive
only light spoilers in here br br stealing sinatra is a half slapstick comedy about victims and a few other side stories thrown in to eat up some time br br you will see some poor performances all around in this movie the drama is forced and the humor makes no sense whether you're watching the the victim who won't shut up or a father to the death threat with care for some tea none of it is believable this quite fits into the wannabe movie category br br you will also be listening to a repetitive goofy music track throughout pretty much the entire movie it's quite and adds nothing it's really just a sad attempt at making an unfunny movie seem somewhat witty br br however if you're able to look past all of this and suspend a lot of disbelief you might be entertained by the adequate storyline br br i voted 4 10,negative
this is the best comedy period it is so underrated clever witty humor great casting jerry stiller is the jewel in the show he is so incredibly funny and quirky simply a comical genius doug and carrie have great chemistry i so do not see what the hype is about when it comes to everybody loves raymond it is so overrated with lame jokes mostly forced humor and just not the witty show i can't remember laughing in more than 1 episode king of queens is a rare comedy that has all the right ingredients to give you serious belly laughs which is normally caused by arthur i think its about time this comedy gets the hype it deserves and not the lame raymond co,positive
women will like this movie better than men of course women like all romantic comedies more than men on average i generally like romantic comedies quite a bit however i considered this a 5 5 for the first 50 of the movie and about a 6 5 for the next 40 and about a 9 for the last 10 so i will rate it a 7 i tape and keep all movies rated a 7 or better and none that are a 6 or worse at least that's my objective i have over movies so why keep the dogs br br my wife liked this movie quite a bit more than me though i'm not sure why i am a bigger drew barrymore fan than she is br br the whole point of this movie was about a young woman who goes back to high school undercover to write a story about the high school experience nowadays she was a in high school the first time around and has to learn how to be cool the second time around her journey toward as well as her falling in love with a teacher is the story br br what drove me nuts for the first half the movie was just how she looked i wondered why they would pick her for this role until i realized how capable she is at looking like a dog so much so that i truly don't think i want to see her in 15 years when she gets up in the morning naturally she transformed into a rather attractive cute woman by the end and she became very popular br br the ending is about a 9 9 on the very sweet scale so you out there will like that otherwise it isn't very memorable and easily,positive
it seems that no matter how many films are made on the subject there is no of stories that emerge from the second world war it stands to reason that a conflict on such a scale as global would capture the imagination of filmmakers everywhere and provide them with ample material on which to base a story heading in a different direction than most mainstream movies about the war is dark blue world a film that does not deal with the traditional major battles of the war does not tell the story of many of its major figures and does not even focus on soldiers of any of the major allied or powers dark blue world instead into the world of soldiers fighting in for their occupied nations br br the film does a marvelous job of portraying the challenges faced by czech pilots flying under the british royal air force expressing the frustration that they felt both at the language between them and the other but also at being restrained from achieving vengeance against the germans until being re trained br br dark blue world also works quite well outside the of the war film as being a story about human relationships a love triangle develops between the two main characters and an english woman that the teacher mentor relationship of the two soldiers this relationship is extremely well acted throughout developing into almost a father and son relationship at many points br br the combat in the film is among some of the best and is also very interesting in exploring the cultural challenges mentioned above as the men struggle to fly their machines fight the enemy and and replies in an unfamiliar language the tension and struggle of these scenes continues the tension between the men on the ground just as the tension on the ground continues that felt in the air br br this may not be a film for everyone the hardcore war film buff may find its exploration of relationships a bit off putting but it is on the whole an excellent film regardless of the element or not,positive
when a friend once me for my first movie a pretty bad affair i that i could grow orson welles' first movie indeed was even worse he challenged me that it couldn't be so i pulled out the of i think citizen kane and played hearts of age my friend lasted just a few minutes before the point br br there is a little humor in this short but it's basically as pretentious as and perhaps a answer to blood of a poet and other avant garde films of the time it is what it is a succession of images with a vague theme and unless you really enjoy any footage of welles in heavy makeup to boot this isn't really even worth tracking down,negative
some people like to tell you that deep space 9 is the best of all the star trek shows because it character development and continuity and features a more complex background and ongoing plots in some ways this makes it more satisfying but in many ways the show fails entirely br br the series starts out as a soap opera on a space station with two entire seasons of generic science fiction stories balanced with banal subplots about the characters the characters are a good bunch and most of the actors are decent but i think the writers tried too hard to make them normal by normal they actually mean ordinary and tedious br br at the end of season two we are introduced to the who hang around for a while before finally going to war with the good guys in season five this is the main story arc of the show but it only takes up a of the entire series we still get lame stand alone episodes heroes still get stranded on weird planets for forty five minutes and there's an awful lot of low brow comedy featuring the greedy goofy a lot of episodes are merely dull and some are unwatchable br br the main villains are bent on for the convenient reason that well they just don't like anyone the entire war is presented with a naive lack of moral complexity and imagination space battles appear with great from season three but these are carried out in simplistic ways such as two huge of super advanced flying right at each other and away the writers of including the talented ronald d moore later of battlestar galactica fame up their monotonous show by starting a war but at heart it is still a soap br br remains a very frustrating experience the continuous story is too flat and obvious to be really gripping and the characters never truly develop in interesting ways 5 and battlestar galactica both the promise made by and did everything much better for star trek stick with the original and the next generation,negative
this film came as a gift a late night offering out of the blue so unlike other reviewers i had no whatsoever i found myself glued to my seat as the film slowly its own rhythm its own unfolding i was drawn to acknowledge my own deep love and humanity as i for good to but also forced to acknowledge that sometimes i was on the side of the bad guys the film is quite quite beautiful the word comes to mind and this more than because the film begins and ends in an far from being depressing or confronting to me the film deep suffering and then by its nature with the and re as well as the deaths the film the fact that to quote an aussie poet there is sometimes oh gods i feel as tho i've just written a love letter to this film but there it is,positive
i haven't laughed this much in a long time or seen a film so made talk about so bad it made me laugh br br firstly i that for about 40 percent of the film's length i couldn't tell what was happening or indeed even what i was seeing i can only describe the camera work as frenetic meets there are whole segments minutes long where all you can see are flashes and of cave wall people and various other stuff i spent half the film asking my teenage daughters what was happening but they couldn't follow it any better than me br br then there are the black moments when in an effort to scare us everyone's lights go out and the screen turns pitch black and i don't just mean for a few seconds i think the longest lasted almost two minutes i guess blank film is one way to keep costs down br br i suspect the director had recently read a book on all the must to make a scary movie and decided to throw them all in about 20 times each br br there are three good things about this film 1 it's short at 90 minutes though still an hour and a half too long 2 all the characters die after all it's impossible to care about any of them 3 there was one genuinely good scene when the group are looking up the they came down after discovering their rope fallen to the bottom saw that coming a large is pushed across the opening them in i wasn't expecting that and it was genuinely chilling br br and what's with the early scenes with the shot after shot after shot from behind the camp lights i swear the director used almost the same shot about 20 times in 5 minutes br br and i'm positive that after the first kill the exact same footage of blood on the cave floor is used twice in about 90 seconds br br all in all a crap piece of film making i'll watch almost anything but this is close to where i'd draw the line,negative
some films just fade away but tourist trap has the test of time and has become a cult favorite though not completely original it owes much to the texas chainsaw massacre it holds its own with a sense of humor genuine creepy moments a brilliant score by and the fun performances by chuck and the cast don't let the pg rating keep you away this film proves that gratuitous gore and nudity are not needed in every horror film to make it entertaining those elements are usually used to cover the lack of thrills in a film here the scares are and effective plus only chuck could carry a scene in which he has to share soup with a a classic scene indeed now more accessible on dvd in widescreen this film is a must for fans of '70s horror fare,positive
insanely well crafted mini series br br i recall seeing most of it twice when shown on american on was heavily promoted at the time i believe it might have been one of the very early mini series showing on outside of the masterpiece theater series br br the full length production was shown i believe only once during its first broadcast was 6 8 hours total this length was edited down somewhat to 6 hours cut some interesting but slow scenes br br i am very much hoping that the folks holding its current rights do follow through and a complete not edited version to dvd not worth creating a vhs version at this point br br would fit in very well in the mini series or dramatic history genre,positive
okay so the movie went straight to video if i had paid to see this i would've been disappointed but at 2 am in the morning alone at night it's a pretty good fright hey that br br,negative
if a copy of this movie fell into the wrong hands the world would be in grave danger i am a huge fan of b movies and i have seen my share of bad ones but there is not a letter in the that could adequately describe this piece of this movie even surpasses the so bad it's good phase and goes straight on to the so bad your world will seem a little less meaningful for having watched it phase br br it is hard to say what is more disturbing 1 the fact that the people who wrote this thought their political satire i use the term very very very loosely was witty enough to film 2 they were able to find so many other people who agreed with them enough to work on this garbage for obviously little or no money 3 that someone actually thought it would be a good idea to pick this crap up for distribution on a horror anthology dvd br br were i a weaker man i most likely would have into my eyes and then myself to my death in traffic after watching this as it stands though i live but i am forever by the experience,negative
brilliant film i am sorry to say that it resembles to me a bit like pulp f but thats how it is with post pulp era many pictures get automatically to it for only being a gangster flick but this one is well written funny ordinary gangsters who are family men resemble something from tarantino which is a good similarity br br anyway the film's about a guy bloke in australia which is getting mixed up with a hard core crime gang and ends up in a debt and deep s it to his assistance is his deceased brother anyone remember val kilmer in true r to pay of his debt and escape from the gangsters who are on his trail the gangsters are cold blooded but take the time to play chess and focus on the upbringing of their children they also get served tea from their while planning a bank robbery and have trouble what to do with their kids during the robbery so a humorous gangster flick with heath ledger in good form though i'm not a fan and bryan brown in great action as a gang leader,positive
first let me start by saying that i am a laurel and hardy buff i have read every book about them and have seen all of their available films more than once i even took a chance once and called stan on the he was very kind and spoke with me for over ten minutes i followed with a letter and he wrote me a letter back i still have that letter br br this film has some fine comedy moments but stan and ollie are not up to their usual form stan was ill during the production and looked worse than he did ten years later in my opinion any laurel and hardy film is worth seeing br br but the ultimate opinion of this film comes from the great stan laurel himself to quote him this film should never have been made,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
pathetic crap appeal to all who are not this is the worst of indian cinema made by the worst piece of trash the story is boring and clichéd the way and view india go for it if u want to be bored to death br br the movie deals with the plight of in india before independence a lot of it is true even now in remote rural areas but not to the extent as depicted maybe because its a period movie br br there are plenty of other indian movies directed by extremely talented directors that are worth this one is a definite miss watch a documentary instead or look up information on the net if you are genuinely interested in the plight of the in india br br i wasted my time,negative

the china syndrome launched a whole string of films about the potentially devastating effects of nuclear power a black cloud of paranoia that would hang over america for much of the reagan years it's a well made and effective drama given an extra punch by its high power stars notably jack lemmon who plays a senior official of the nuclear power plant who suffers a crisis of conscience but one can't help but think that it was the timing of the three mile island nuclear accident that occurred just a couple of weeks after this film's release that has given it its lasting appeal as a classic from the 70s as watchable as it is it's certainly no classic br br with a red headed jane fonda as a news reporter and a michael douglas as her camera man and the film's producer by the way br br grade b,positive

there's only 2 reasons i watch this show i invested the time already in previous episodes and for all you supposed sci fi fans out there who love the new bsg give me a break go read some classic sci fi novels by the true or watch some of the films and tv shows from days gone by and you'll see what these bsg writers are their only gimmick is who is the fifth poor writing and really truly no sense of character development if or tries to take power or cries again or discovers the inner father he should have been one more time and is as annoying a character that's ever been put aboard a starship out the with her i could care less if it's six more months before they conclude these wannabe writers were out of tricks in season one if you don't know that you just don't know writing,negative
i loved this film independent film making at its best the cinematography pacing rhythm and acting were perfectly in sync fred best work to date the movie is well written with lots of plot twists that take you to a great ending it moves well and keeps you involved being a photographer i was most impressed with the cinematography the lighting creates mood and a beauty that is usually found in a much bigger budget film this gave the actors a great to start from to work their magic and that is just what they did great performances from all the actors and each one was well cast in their roles as i said in the beginning the is a wonderful film and one of fred best movies you will love it,positive
i don't usually comment on films since i am in the movie distribution business but i have to say that this is one of my favorite films of all time the acting is fantastic and the script is even better there were no cheesy speeches or exploitation of handicapped people to try and make this movie more hollywood james is such an outstanding actor i could not look away from him if i tried i was impressed with steven robertson as well i cannot believe this is his first real film brenda plays a small role but as usual she is outstanding this is a movie for everyone to see just how lucky we all are if you like and mask you will enjoy this story you owe it to yourself to check this film out,positive
oh well i thought it should be a good action but it was not although jeff stars there is nothing to watch only two fight for almost 1 5 hours a lot of talking and everything is so artificial that you could not believe it the plot is clear from the beginning if you want good action don't rent this movie,negative
travolta and thurman deserved a better movie this one is very secondary in all aspects not a single fresh idea but the biggest problem is this film's ridiculous philosophy a gang of black after all their criminal activities and even killing people are becoming almost positive mickey mouse like heroes performing on stage and giving away awards at the ceremony perhaps this matches the real life but showing it as a quite normal happy ending is beyond my imagination what's wrong with shooting a couple of bad if they are not politically correct the show must go on that makes me think that hollywood writers have a big problem with good and evil even if the genre supposed to be a black comedy,negative
there are many mysteries in life for example why did any of the people other than top agree to appear in this movie why did anyone this movie why did anyone pay money to see it i guess none of these questions will ever be answered but one thing i know for sure this movie is one of the worst ever made with a budget this big it would already be bad but the addition of humor makes it even worse the only entertainment one could possibly get from this movie is to burn it smash it or otherwise destroy it in an amusing fashion if you were to rank it against every movie ever made it would be right between problem child and said,negative
utterly useless having been there done that with the subject matter i have to say this captures the atmosphere in absolutely no respect it may have done so had the characters not just been for incredibly dire unrealistic drivel so many cringe worthy scenes that would put the office to shame not a compliment to this film it also may have helped to have some semblance of a story a point a message a commentary anything seriously kevin perry go large had more to say on the subject than this film term used very loosely in this case there should be minus numbers reserved for films like this 10 extra turd,negative
back in august there was a country ish buzz to movies big hits like urban cowboy every which way but loose and the were all the rage for that reason i suspect the producers of this movie chose as the title hoping it would help the movie's box office by drawing in that same urban cowboy crowd instead bombed at the theaters and i suspect it do so in part by being with a poorly chosen title thats same problem it now on video and thats too bad because its a pretty good movie and in a comedy style ahead of it's time no matter what probably anybody who can remember 1981 will enjoy it br br its too bad this movie bombed but i think it would have anyway even if it hadn't been with a poor title its a movie ahead of its time one could look at this movie now and see that its clearly a father or great uncle anyway to the kinds of comedy made today for its day was pretty full of innuendo and a kind of about life that didn't get popular in comedy till much later on while clearly its a child of airplane its more mature and while its certainly no knocked up it clearly points in that direction the characters are more comedy mature in that they are low key and don't ever think anything they do is anything other than serious the jokes are in the choices of what to emphasize and the camera views and the way the view themselves and their situations br br but more than that is a real time capsule a great look back at the exceedingly early 80's the people in this movie are dressed and act as everyday people of 1981 did it was clearly meant to reflect the times and be a sly comedic comment on everyday life around them br br i don't know if my review is helping you but this is really a good sometimes kind of excellent movie thats worth renting if you want to see how a lot of faces that are familiar today looked when they were 30 years younger beverly is so young its hard to realize its her sometimes so are beau bridges and terry was just about to become the of hollywood as her next movie after this one was which finally made her a star howard was arguably the biggest current star of the the day when this movie was made back in 1981 howard was the star of the big hit tv show in he played its lead character the night dj daniel stern was just about to break out as a star as the grown up narrator voice of the lead child character in the popular 80's sitcom the wonder years there are also several faces that are no longer with us these days its nice to see and jessica as a an old married couple on a journey jessica would finally pick up her oscar ten years after this for driving miss daisy there is also the great page in one of her final movie appearances though she'd had a brilliant career she didn't get her oscar till four years after this in trip to for which she richly deserved it and she died very soon after getting that award br br plus there are lots of other faces in this movie actors who aren't big stars but who have done tons of supporting work many are familiar even if you can't think of their name br br this movie is a pleasant little a bunch of people with a variety of problems set out from various locations each for their own individual unrelated reasons who all in a vaguely altman way end up heading towards florida and to them a in the little town of florida which happens to be from the effects of being by the recently constructed nearby which did not an exit to which effectively takes the town off the map br br and thats also what this movie is about fascination with the whole idea of the system which had only recently been completed it had taken a generation to build from when it was by around 1960 through many years as different parts were built and then went live and by 1980 most of the system had finally been built and all connected together and first the first time the promise of what the system would be had turned into what is and people were enchanted by it everybody by 1980 was pretty much an veteran in the sense that by then everybody had used parts of it and knew how it worked and how it was different from other roads in that it had no red lights or stop signs only on and off and that it went to places that were less accessible by 1980 anyone could drive anywhere in comfort and without having to stop for anything except to eat and sleep and a bathroom and this was all new then br br the ending is anti climatic and isn't that satisfying albeit its one spectacular moment what makes it great is it's the journey not the destination that makes timeless in spite of it being such a product of its day forget its title instead let it take you down memory lane,positive
even if you do not typically enjoy documentaries odds are you will find this one fascinating not only does it have a well out plot that while easy to follow contains its interesting it also has a very strong emotional and not one that relies on a simple specific tone instead the emotions here are as profound and as the featured br br that being said if you know nothing of donald and the 1968 single boat race around the world as was the case for me please stop reading and rent view this film br br spoilers follow br br my friend brian recommended this at the same time that my aunt had sent me a this film with work in 2007 i was by several of films still am to connect this film to antonioni i think is a bit of a stretch the character most likely to be seen in one of movies is de it's funny on the main imdb page he isn't even listed as playing himself which is probably a function of his lengthy name as opposed to his self realization since right out of the race that could be considered is a bit like anna in quite a major minor character br br while there are many things to love about this film the actual footage from the time the stoic best friend the sheer power of the roaring forties i walked away with a simple connection a man truly at sea there have been times in my life where i wonder how i got to such a point caught between dreams and reality feeling like a in my own skin it may be that i'm reading too much into this documentary and that in turn the directors read too much into but i found that sense as spell as the other secrets kept in this film br br on the odd chance that wife who seemed a remarkable study in restraint with understandably conflicted overtones and his children so young in the found footage and still young at this late date in the sense of their pain and pride for their father i am certain the comments here and the film itself fail to catch the man that your father was in his death however he has given the world a glimpse of something like a lost myth he is a pre never finding his body adds to the air of if not the stature of a being of which he had br br this film sticks with you after the viewing as if you expect another twist to emerge from the deep waters or at the very least you hope for the sequel br br 8 10,positive
no wonder so many young people have attention disorder it seems that stage dance productions these days are all about how many cameras and camera angles a director editor can squeeze into a 1 hour show is there a special emmy category for this feat try counting them sometimes for something different to do with this otherwise completely unwatchable show br br i tried to make out at least a few faces of some of the other dancers in the production that was impossible they didn't appear to have any faces just it was just michael face michael bare chest nice sheen michael feet and that over the shoulder come look repeated since he was an executive producer of this cut and job i guess that was to be expected one doesn't have to wonder too much as to who his target audience is br br was a much better production as it tried to present the show pretty much as one might see it from the audience not the side wings or floor nail perspective if i'm not mistaken i believe sir michael has retired thank god for small,negative

la an film by director succeeds both as a of the silent movie genre and a gripping tale the setting is a city in to mindless television its people of the power of speech except for a and mysterious screen presence known simply as the voice in a to their grip on power the villainous duo of television mr tv and mad scientist dr y set out to kidnap the voice and turn her unique talent towards their own ends it is up to a young family and the son to stop this evil scheme the result is a roller coaster of a story that is on occasion but never less than engrossing br br this is a silent movie that wears many of its influences on its the overt references to silent movie such as george and fritz lang will be readily apparent to anyone with a passing of their work but more subtle references and symbolism lie behind such i particularly like the fact that mr tv and his henchman drive around in typical 1930s gangster cars drawn from the decade when the silent movie era died away and a very different industry began to emerge br br la mines the clichéd plot devices and theatrical over acting common to so many silent films albeit in a very knowing and humorous way it is the astonishing visual style of la that really sets it apart from the movies that it pays homage to from the hypnotic tv to the menacing station this film with dazzling visual that is the rival of a studio animation – and all this using real actors and sets br br moreover though the style is often intentionally corny and theatrical this is still an unsettling provocative and emotional picture the use of religious symbolism throughout la lends added to the struggle between the tv empire and the power of words at the same time many of the most powerful images are original ones including the hypnotic of the television sets and the nightmarish tv food factory br br i hate to end this review on a sour note but i feel that the english language release of la is let down by the subtitles the original spanish subtitles are used to great effect with much playing around with words on screen however the english language subtitles that the original dialogue are with and mistakes at times leaving the viewer to piece things together for themselves la is nevertheless a striking piece of cinema a visually breathtaking experience that displays great energy and humour whilst a powerful tale,positive

since others have complained about putting sherlock holmes into a contemporary setting i won't do that basil could have fit in in any era with that voice that this is a nicely put together mystery based loosely on the dancing men one of the best of conan stories instead of the original plot it makes the men part of a nazi plot holmes becomes a for the british war effort his is who seems to die frequently enough to rival the central figure in the friday 13th films he is certainly creative but the holmes is watson is just along for the ride in this one he isn't given much stupidity to in this film and that's a real plus the plot is complex enough to keep ones interest there is a speech that is almost a parody of itself but then i can't be critical of a time and nation that was under great if they needed to call in holmes so be it,positive
and we all thought joan crawford was the horror well laura hope as mom in this 4 character film delivers and cops the goods in this cracker of a marital the silver is a genuinely sensational pre code drama from rko made in 1932 released in from a play so astonishing frank and honest is each startling verbal exchange between one son's wife along with the other's fiancé as these two younger girls together go to war the clearly incestuous of mom towards her hunky son played by joel and her younger son by delicate and beautiful 25 year old actor eric i would think this film played to many howling audiences in huge theaters in 1933 and offers viewers even in 2005 a very melodrama by dialog not afraid to call mother exactly as she is this film would have been impossible to make after the censorship code came in after 1934 other viewer comments on the imdb support my reaction and you will find almost everyone lucky enough to see and tape the silver will agree it is an unforgettable and script in a superbly produced film it would have played like the virginia wolf of 1932 laura hope must have the sound stage at rko for this role of a lifetime even more than her turn in irene dunne is as gorgeous and casual and believable as ever fighting for her husband yet again and it is well worth seeing the made in as a companion piece to the silver joel is certainly in the same league as cary grant and randolph scott in the handsome and lovable stakes i had never seen eric in a real acting role before he played the leg in the hospital horror scene in and here he is startling and youthful with an excellent role as robert the younger and more sensitive son some verbal at him again would not get past the code office if made later this is a really good film and if the viewer some of the of its time and in for a match of for a 1932 movie you will be well rewarded at first i thought some of the throat melodrama of mother was dated until i realized it was a set up of the excellent screenplay to make the viewer laugh at her as though she is a weak little old lady not but nor are the other two women in this play on film hence the fantastic dialog that ocean liner seen in reel one is the the monster ship the us won from the germans in that was so huge and that were nervous trying to with it upon the atlantic it is infamous for up a wave in a storm and shot over the at such an angle the spine along the bottom and the ship split between the it to with steel and holes and mentally crew and passengers it was in after being cursed and plagued with horror mechanical problems all its existence not such a war prize after all br br anyway the dialog in the silver is enough excitement for one night mother the doctor said there was nothing wrong with you in fact he said it would take a stick of dynamite to kill you,positive
i didn't particularly like doors or twice upon a yesterday so i certainly didn't this poor second rate excuse for those films an idea that's been done to death what would happen if and the script is shoddy and not to mention the obvious attempt at adding sex nudity simply to gain an r rating and certain scenes that just weren't necessary but were there to push the boundaries i really don't need to see a kid or a struggle with a especially when they have absolutely no connection to or use in the film br br the acting was also very poor the only actor i found the least bit satisfying was her daughter the rest were two dimensional and quite unbelievable the people i watched this with left the room about halfway through i managed to finish it but not without fast through part of it br br overall nothing new here it's a generic and boring film the few rather amusing moments are far by the silly or stupid ones this would be dull even if it hadn't been done before if it weren't such a rehash i'd rate it a five but even for an indie film this was severely lacking and as a rehash it loses on originality as well 3 10,negative

perhaps it's about time we 2007 to be the international year of the cinematic crocodile the ridiculous came first about a croc named the in then there was lake 2 a low and made for tv sequel to a forgettable original there's this incredibly derivative and piece of aussie horror and finally i have yet to see the promising rogue the last one is likely to be the best considering the involvement of the upcoming aussie horror talent greg wolf creek black water certainly isn't a complete waste of time and film but it's another pretty pointless survival flick that real life agony with horror my especially since i honestly feel sorry for the people who went through this ordeal but depicting three characters sitting in a tree and whining for more than a full hour is not my idea of sheer suspense three young people travel through northern australia and decide to spend a day of fishing in the remote swamp areas it doesn't take too long before a gigantic and crocodile their little boat and the guide grace lee and adam barely manage to escape the hungry teeth by climbing up a tree even though he remains unseen most of the time the croc lies in waiting and makes it impossible for them to leave the swamp alive yes it does sound an awful lot like the plot of open water indeed replace the numerous unseen sharks with one giant unseen crocodile and the open sea with an equally aussie swamp and there you have it oh well black water at least features some rare moments of excitement and one designed water monster it has to be said the croc looks and you count down towards every next time he wildly emerges from the water the three headed cast does whatever they can to keep their characters interesting but how do you achieve this by sitting in a tree the whole time the based on true events concept obviously causes a number of like limited images of the fantastic filming locations dialogs and character drawings,negative
my wife and kids was and still is the best comedy series on tv ever made i really enjoyed it and everyone in the u k still watch the the wayans bros should all somehow be featuring together in a comedy show my wife and kids was a comedy the whole family could watch and you don't get that very often isn't there anything we can do to make it happen again we would do anything to have that comedy show on again 1 damon wayans should make a come back i would really like damon wayans to star or make another comedy like this one of course with the help of the whole wayans family i was really sad when it ended that way and i hope they will be more to come in the future brilliant comedy excellent stuff yours truly,positive

this review contains a huge spoiler but i don't know how to explain how cool it is without giving it away i saw revenge a while ago br br now you might think it's just a rip off of child's play indeed there are similarities br br however was a possessed doll who works of the kid it is possible that is possessed with a demon or cursed or something however the puppet itself is actually completely the kid is insane and the kid is the one killing people everyone including the audience the survivors and the kid herself thinks it's the doll but it's the kid br br the nudity is almost a pity because otherwise i could tell everyone to see it because it really is an interesting horror movie,positive
never had i seen such a powerful true story movie i discovered a city a country a lost revolution and even a prize winner thanks to this masterpiece of cinema br br if you haven't seen this movie you can't say you've seen anything br br a great lesson of courage and life br br i haven't seen anything as good since br br t e saturday january 1999,positive
i was so disappointed in this movie i am very familiar with the case having read not only mark book but also the far superior a wealth of evil the true story of the murder of martha in america's community by timothy anyone who watches murder in should be aware they're watching the mark story not the martha story this film is nothing more than an ego trip for just watch his character around as if he is the second coming yes even being by women the actors playing the kids look way too old for their roles and the flashbacks to the 1970s are totally unconvincing if there is any hero to this story it's family her mother dorothy and brother john they kept this case alive for two decades before walked into it in order to make a name for himself they and martha deserve to have the true story told,negative
i was a huge fan of the original br br but to say i was disappointed by this first sequel would be an understatement br br the problems are many br br glossy though the film may look there are plenty of on screen for all to see etc something i find wholly from someone of br br has become a robot there is no spark of humanity to be found in the character here a true disappointment when one considers that his soul had returned by the end of the first movie here his attitude shows no human side and makes him hard to with br br caine is a poor villain ok i know from the first film was better than the average mainly thanks to smith's performance but the usually solid tom creates a character who you couldn't care less about one way or the other br br what's happened to the old man i appreciate that he didn't get to where he is by being nice but the change in his character here is nothing short of in the first movie it's made clear he dick tactics and attitude and yet here he's no better than jones it makes no sense br br doctor is a poor replacement for bob charismatic if unpleasant resident genius br br the action sequences save the sequence where murphy is stuck to the side of truck are harsh and nasty and rather than entertain br br and finally what is with the musical score don't tell me couldn't have done it simply because he was working on total recall at the time a series tv or movie soundtrack is part of its personality part of its character when you remove that it the of the characters we're watching so it's bad enough but shame on leonard his score here is lurid camp and downright cringe worthy br br the story has its moments to be fair there's a lot of originality in here but it tries too many new things to take in with one film is a well realised villain and the only truly likable in the move thumbs up to gabriel damon there br br the final showdown between and 2 is fun as well br br but for the vast majority of its overlong running time this is a serious disappointment,negative
on account of my unfortunately not being able to find them anywhere i have not gotten to try any of the other entries in the series although i certainly would not mind and trust me i have looked for anyone who does not know this is a point and click adventure title that means that the mouse is what you use to with everything that you can do so with in this though there is one particular case in this where that is inaccurate i won't spoil it here for anyone who haven't yet tried it nevertheless regardless of how little experience you have with computers you can sit right down and try this there isn't even terribly many bits of this where you need to be fast or have swift heck you can the speed of the text if you have it have subtitles on and thus of the talking in it and it's not enormously awkward or forced when slow your is easy as well as combining or using items and holding down the button at anything you can affect gives three for what to use with it be it a person a specific part of the surroundings or an object hand push pick up open etc eyes examine look through etc and mouth eat etc this all adds up to a friendly environment where you can approach the the amount of them is varied based on which of the two difficulty settings you try this on at your own pace and explore and take in the dozens of individual done characters and areas in this to your content the length of this will be determined by how much time you take to do such you'll hear no blame from me they're worth it and your skill at out the there are a few points in this where you get to decide if you want the harder way of that or not this can be enjoyed by anyone from any age there's no material that isn't acceptable for children this is one of the products that help prove that that very fact does not have to mean that it is for older audiences the animation is quality work smooth everything moves as it should and the 3rd dimension honestly isn't that sorely missed when trying this the story telling is well done and you're never unclear as to what is going on there are numerous well directed cut scenes kept in the same colorful mostly bright world as the rest with well done camera motion is an appropriate word to describe this and not only the visual style it can be applied to all of this the entire world of this is very similar to but not quite the same as with a mix of past and present inhabited by people and filled with things that we can sort of recognize or understand at least portions of but the absurdity makes them funny that would have to be one of the greatest strengths of this right there it's hilarious a lot of that comes from the lines spoken what is said as well as how it is and those who dig british efforts with focus on verbal the likes of or the franchise will want to check this sucker out however there are several different types of jokes including but not limited to the following satire dark spoofs irony gross out comedy not exactly my favorite aspect of this and more there's self awareness with the lead addressing you personally and for example explaining why he isn't going to do what you just asked him to there are references to pop culture through a couple of decades almost all of it works hardly any gags fall flat and if you aren't in during this my best guess as to the reason would be that it's simply not with your sense of humor a situation that no judgment and if one suspects that could be the case and wishes to find out i suggest the version where you for free can see if you care for the brand of play and or laughter the plot is well written nearly all of this is really develops nicely throughout and keeps your interest well the audio is all excellent crisp and well done the sound effects are spot on the music is well composed with no exceptions the voice acting is impeccable with a celebrity or two is fantastic as gotta love that name whom you control is incredible as the deceased and still threatening zombie villain the designs are immensely well done highly imaginative and all fit in spite of the relatively limited of our hero when it comes to pirate deeds you do get to engage in some steer a ship board that of others and match in a rather unique and thought up way the re lies mainly in the choices during dialog etc this is linear with a tad freedom as far as the order goes so the sitting down with this for at least the second time has not got that large an amount of possibilities as far as being challenged by this goes unless he or she has forgotten what to do in the meantime ah nothing is perfect anyone who would care to delve into a thoroughly well crafted and fascinating fictional universe and crack up countless times should get a real kick out of this the good kind not the ones that hurt and potentially leave don't forget kids do not eat books that is just begging for a paper cut i would a guess that those who like the others would appreciate this one too and they're not the only ones who may get into this i recommend this to apart from members of aforementioned group any fan of this genre of as well as anyone to whom this review appeals 8 10,positive

i just saw this at the philadelphia film festival it was the most wonderful movie the best i've seen in quite a while the character of is an open exploring and as in the film love filled person portrayed by the beautiful the accompanying music is and a to the soul br br each character seems to be conflicted in some way and their interactions w conflicts make for a great story the tale told by a k as the old man was most magically done i wanted it to go on and on br br that seemed to remember his place throughout added get power to the story a refreshing change to the bubble headed plots of many modern writers br br all and all an excellent film go see,positive
it's one of my favorite movies as much because of the location and music as the story line don't matter how many times i watch it it doesn't seem to ever get old i can almost say all the lines along with the characters now the movie is funny and really sweet,positive

this movie is the first film i have seen of cult swedish director roy he is a veteran filmmaker who has made his living filming commercials directing only four feature films in the last forty years this background shows the film seems like a collection of fifty 2 minute arty commercials there is no story these vignettes though some characters appear in more than one there is a theme throughout underneath them though the absurdity of modern life some of the film's mannerisms having the actors appear in light white makeup are more irritating than some of the skits amount to very little a man unsure in which to stand other skits are better though the best is the one about the rock chick dreaming that she goes on honeymoon with her rock bride on a house that turns on something akin to a train you have to watch it to get it a film worth seeing even if comparisons made by some film critics with such great filmmakers as keaton and seems overwrought lacks the vision of them and the lack of a story the vignettes is fatal to this film's of being a masterpiece,positive
another comedy set in the park it seems that the number one location spot for shooting was in this same local park as so many of and films are set there and while this is yet another one it is different enough and well made that i still enjoyed it br br is interested in a younger than usual looking and acting mabel i think she's supposed to be a little younger though in her mother's eyes she is too young to be interested in men well does not share her feelings and soon he and mabel run away for some innocent fun things get complicated when the mother's watch is stolen finds it and gives it to mabel as a gift and many problems result br br decent pacing and the fact that this movie did not rely too much on cheap slapstick but a reasonable plot make this a cute and enjoyable little film,positive
and call really did nothing why are they hero's they did nothing other then get to places after the bad guys where dead what was the point of this show i was very very disappointed i expected more action more story and to see the birth of and great deeds instead i saw very little it seemed like and call where just side story's for the great indian chief br br i'm not even sure that the history is even very close they did very little to show why the and fought against each other br br the only good part about this movie was who played gus very very well and is a great actor a lot of good story that could have been gone to waste it was sad and i wish that i had not watched it,negative
i would give this a zero if they had that rating fun was no fun at all i grew tired of the movie about ten minutes into but endured to the end thinking it had to get better it did not the others i watched this movie with also agreed the acting was annoying i am tired of jim over the top ham acting the supporting cast was no better while this movie was a statement of corporate greed and the plight of the worker who gets stepped on when a large company goes under the vehicle for this would have been better served another way i actually disliked the leading characters dick and jane so much that their antics were never funny but pathetic i am trying to recall one scene where i or anyone i was with laughed and cannot a worthless movie and a total waste of time,negative
this should have been a short film nothing more the length of 1 5 hours is much too long because after 10 minutes you have seen almost every joke it's getting more and more on your nerves you finally kick out your brain to endure that movie br br to do yourself a favor don't mention to see that movie,negative
i rented this pile of waste hoping for a few good laughs with a title like zombie from and with dead alive productions on the front cover you would think that this could be a funny gruesome film but no this is the worst movie i have ever seen and yes i have seen all of the police academy movies the story this is a joke within itself and the dialogue are atrocious the make up of the so called zombies looks like they used one of those two dollar make yourself look like a that you buy at k mart br br i would rather watch beverly hills while listening to the boys and be whipped by a novelty birthday card model than to sit through another single minute of this pathetic excuse for a dvd honestly i could make a better movie with 3 some sticks and a i feel as if 90 minutes of my life were stripped away from me and taken to the land of i know that on the dead alive production doesn't guarantee a great flick but you do expect to get your worth br br the only thing that made me happy save returning the horrid mass of elephant was that it wasn't titled biker zombies from i feel for detroit folks that wasted their hard earned money on this one unless you have been … do not buy rent if you must … but … you will regret it,negative
i would like to tell you just a few things before considering seeing this movie if at one point or another you thought you've seen good camera work be prepared to be amazed by this movie for the record this movie was made in 1957 in russia but the technique used here is probably something that we've seen much later in the western world about 20 years later the level of emotions through the film quite a lot happiness love war despair joy but in the end you remain with something quite unique the joy of seeing one masterpiece of filmmaking the young directors from our time should study more this kind of movies and maybe they will be able to create something similar even though i think movies like this are very hard to come by if you've seen i am cuba then this movie would appeal to you very much but if not be prepared for a unique experience the russian directors have something in common very small budgets great actors and a joy of creating art and yes they are able to create more masterpieces than all the western world together i am not a big fan of russia actually i hate everything that's communist but the film making in that part of the world manages to create such feelings that are hard to describe br br enjoy it br br,positive
russian actress reminds me so much of the young audrey hepburn and the camera in the are flying seems to love her just as much she is the point of a bittersweet war romance against the background of world war ii in br br the film is almost poetic in its gorgeous b w cinematography which was the main reason for watching the film in the first place since i had never heard of it and decided to give it a try when it aired on tcm br br it's a very moving love story about a girl's deep love for a man who is suddenly swept away by his role as a soldier in wartime russia she's unable to forget the memory of her romantic to him but inexplicably marries someone else who has forced himself on her a who soon realizes that she still loves the soldier she hopes to hear from their marriage is a troubled one because she can't let go of her of a happier time with her soldier sweetheart br br by the end of the story she accepts the idea that he's never going to return and is able to face reality and cope with the situation there's a very poignant final scene at a train station where arriving soldiers are their loved ones and the girl shares the joy of the returning soldiers by giving some flowers from her to the families br br the stylish and striking camera work is what carries the film as well as the honestly played story br br done but perhaps the english subtitles didn't tell the whole tale because some of the plot elements seemed a bit to me as if they had been over br br up easy to see why it won awards at the cannes film festival reminded me in style of another great russian film of a soldier,positive
gotta add a comment to this one br br first ironically one needs to add the alert to to but there is absolutely nothing here to be spoiled br br there are six characters the good looking gal whose the a list mountain guide in the area of the climb and apparently among all including on the planet her lost love who disappeared from the titled pass two years prior whom the party is seeking but never find her store owner friend also a guide who may be better than a but no match for her the weird lead actor who her services and says they'll find her long missing love in the bargain his one associate a computer with expertise of a level sufficient that gates might seek advice from him and his other colleague a bodyguard who apparently has an iq not even near three br br there are of course goings on and the secret quest of the lead actor is to gain of a satellite which has fallen in the pass and has world and unique data to bring them exactly what is never revealed br br overacting the script looks like something which might get a c in a writing class but an f if at a higher level and the every piece of scenery like a of br br the most interesting aspects of this movie for me was portions with three other flicks or roles i've seen br br first the mysterious secret data makes one recall the spanish prisoner an a list mamet film surrounding a valuable corporate process never specifically but better for it definitely not so here br br second the lead proved perhaps even more then rambo in dealing quickly when later in the presentation br br third i remember a steven seagal flick don't recall the title where he was semi conscious and for about 1 3 of the time and fully for another 1 3 although i've not sought viewing a lot of his work i've seen enough to have noted that while he provided the best work he ever has and most in line with his persona in this while awake the young may have been the most engaging personality on screen but while and during the latter portion and unable to he provided the best acting during this seemingly two hours br br take the thin silly basis for a plot here imagine it being into say a on snl with bill murray dan and martin short in the four roles they could get record laughs with few changes to the dialog here br br the most interesting aspect in the last analysis is what information could have been in the spy satellite to be worth even to any of many nations and yet rendered worthless according to the guru if simply placed upon the internet with no apparent consequences thereafter even a turkey like this one should have at least a small trace of logic somewhere this one is totally devoid,negative
i just have to comment on this movie because i gave it a 4 rating and in my opinion that's pretty high for a movie the actual plot is kind of hokey who would expect otherwise but is so incredibly funny and he delivers everything in a voice so it's easy for him whoever wrote the script had some wit definitely i must have laughed out loud ten times and that's not a reason anyone would pick up this movie the only movie i've seen which had any merit other than beautiful women and believe me is drop dead gorgeous just look at the cover br br any movie that can entertain me considering how poor the plot was and how bad the acting is also considering the movie wasn't made to artistically entertain so to speak it gets at least a four in my book i mean who wouldn't watch this before stop or my mom will shoot,negative
i'm a big fan of the first movie the second episode is good but it's not as good as the first the third episode is a little bit boring but lovely and what is this what a crap it's stupid and really really boring it's the worst of the series i can't watch it again because i felt asleep at the first watch and evil side that's one of the most moments of the movie in the first 50 minutes we can't see the little monsters that's the reason why the audience fell asleep at the beginning of the movie br br it could have been much better br br 2 10,negative
not a bad i was expecting another film based on issues but was pleasantly surprised at the element of suspense sure parts of the plot were pretty hokey but for the most part the movie kept me guessing was the nut bar connected with the ex husband somebody in the or was it the guy person that she cut off daniel was excellent i've seen him in mom's on strike and in guilt by association both and he is very especially the way he challenges his mother the way a would typically act br br laura also played the typical mother ex wife that both men and women can relate to she was frustrated enough to seem real br br see it if you missed it it's worthwhile,positive
this is one of the best and vampire tales ever i love this movie really the character are great even the locations and the story indeed the picture isn't a big budget production but it is absolutely worth seeing br br ok there are some faults especially the names of the castle and the locations in this movie but such mistakes are typically and are almost in every horror movie br br the scenery fits perfect to the story and is close to reality i can say that honest because i visit them once when i was in romania in my br br in my opinion this is the best part of the series,positive
i used to always love the bill because of its great script and characters but lately i feel as though it has turned into an emotional type of soap if you look at pictures posters of the bill now you will see either two of the officers kissing or something to do with friendships whereas pictures of the bill a long time ago would have shown something to do with crime this proves that it has changed a lot from being an absolutely amazing police drama to an average type of television soap when i watch it i feel like i'm watching a police version of street or something similar i have to say i still like the bill as i'm interested in police work and that type of thing but i really miss the greatness that the bill used to have i want to rate it as 2 out of ten because you have to admit it has been totally ruined by the people who took the bill over br br as for the script and characters they have both gone downhill most of the great characters are gone now although a few still remain i think and i'm not saying that the newer characters are poor or anything because they definitely aren't its just that they lack the tough looks personalities and script lines that all of the old characters used to have because most of the new ones are at the moment involved with silly relationships and family trouble br br overall being one of the only police programs on television these days the bill will always be a interesting thing to watch but like i say it has lost a lot of its if thats the right spelling and would now be as a terrible unreal television soap br br recommended to watch for a good laugh over the stupidity of the police officers involved 2 10,negative
for what it's worth this is a fairly decent road runner cartoon if a little short just under 6 minutes the gags are adequate at best the animation is competent and the new restored dvd master looks nice however that's where the qualities end allow me to provide a little in 1958 thanks to a wb got hold of a bunch of music that would be used in 6 of the year's cartoons br br there is only one phrase to describe this music and that is it has the sound i use that phrase to describe music which has absolutely no to the on screen action and feels like it was recorded by an orchestra of members of a youth cover band the music in this short feels hopelessly tacked on and incredibly obnoxious especially considering there are scenes in this short namely the piano trap that would have worked best with little or no music br br i didn't think a wb cartoon would be ruined by awful music even scores aren't this obnoxious but considering the cartoon isn't that notable anyway it becomes almost painful to watch with the music it's kind of like how late 80's episodes of doctor who could be bad anyway and yet be made unwatchable thanks to unbelievably awful music which sounded like he hit the button on all 5 of his at the same time br br i am going to have people call me crazy for this but i'd easily watch one of cartoons over this at least the music was usually in sync with the action on those,negative
this is quite a bad movie but oh well this movie is at least not as lame as the third movie br br yes this is a bad movie in terms of its writing directing acting and basically everything in between it has such a weak simple and story that besides has little to do with the previous movie entries it tries to connect the movie with the first movie from 1985 but then on the other hand if they really wanted to connect this movie with its predecessors then were are the in this movie instead now we are having some small people played by tony cox and dressed up as demons not that the from the previous movies were any classic characters but they were nevertheless the heart and soul of the movie and also provided the movies with a certain amount of fun it's like having a movie without the br br the movie is not really interesting to watch because it lacks any tension good humor intriguing characters and basically everything else you can think off because it got put together by persons who obviously aren't the most talented ones within their business just like at director's jim resume with movies such as the witches of and its sequel jones and the house on hill scream queen hot party the bare project and the sequels the bare project 2 scared topless and the bare project 3 of mystery mountain and the da on it br br yeah the movie is quite silly and campy but this is not really enough to boost this movie and gives it some more entertainment value you know it's the kind of cheap looking movie with some lame special effects costumes make up and actors nobody has heard of ever since br br still it isn't the worst movie out of the series because of the reason that iii go to college is by far a more worse movie since that one had some horrible lame attempts at humor this movie at least still does some attempts to be serious and professional one even though the end result is far from perfect br br bad movie making and perhaps only watchable for those who have seen the previous entries br br 3 10,negative
having read this story a while ago i was very excited to see the movie i read the book again it is one of my favorite nicholas sparks books what i think what makes the story is the relationships that was the down point for me in the movie because i think the relationships were poorly expressed in the movie i have no idea what the point of changing main characters roles and characters the movie didn't at all capture john and relationship maybe if you haven't read the book you might like this movie but i thought it was so dull compared to the book i thought was a great pick for john but i had a feeling he was going to bring all young adults out to watch it so i think it was more towards them the ending cuts the whole point of the book out so i was also unhappy with that i was hoping the movie was more like the or a walk to remember and the way they captured the books i do feel like i wasted a friday night out and 10 bucks on a sappy love story not at all the story i was expecting to see,negative
the chair was a supreme waste of minutes of my life which cannot be and spent in a more worthwhile way even the blair witch project was a better use of life's precious moments it must be called the chair because only could the extremely self important brothers who it out for public and obviously they are so full of themselves that they have assumed the public would actually want to their the chair made the boys seem like a cinematic masterpiece valley of the dolls beyond valley of the dolls pink texas chainsaw massacre night of the living dead urban cowboy the blob all of these would be a better use of one's time than viewing the chair the characters portrayed are either too predictable or too lacking in normal emotional to even come close to being likable or believable also at one point in the film while the characters are supposed to be in the same small town if one watches closely one can see that one part of the town is apparently in the southern united states and the other half is located in that's some town eh,negative
i recently rented this promising mini series i didn't even know they had adapted it for television i was really looking forward to it since the book icon is one of the best spy thrillers i have ever read what a disappointment it was the plot only loosely resembles the one in the book the characters are completely miscast and there's some appalling acting a shame really the story behind icon is perfect for the silver screen but i think television budgets just aren't big enough for a decent adaptation of this spectacular book br br deserves much much better than this avoid and stick to the book which is a must read,negative
i went to this film full of hope with so many capable and humorous actors headed up by sir ben i thought this is going to be a little treat br br oh how i felt like my eyes out as the credits rolled that i had wasted of my life this film that was clearly there are some real problems with this film and it will probably be easier to list them 1 no jokes i am not particularly hard to please high or low brow but there really is not one laugh in this film br br 2 sir ben through every single line whether he is supposed to be drunk or not 3 there is no effort to to begin let alone develop the relationship between the love interests in this 2 people into each other randomly in the street would instantly have more br br 4 all the acting talent that is assembled is completely wasted don't be fooled into watching this because of the names br br 5 for a cold ass hit man he out more people in gandhi than this waste of time a by the way look really creepy i was hoping that this was a slow but in the end the only thing that could any life and justice into this is frank pulling out his 9 and the whole cast starting with tea and ending with himself sorry it was that bad,negative
i'm sorry fans but i was disappointed with this concert at the cbs television city in los angeles it's decent music wise but the presentation is simply boring big time most of the songs sound the same and lead singer writer jeff is about as animated as a store he has a pleasant voice but he isn't much to watch he just stands in one spot and sings for an hour and 40 minutes the songs all sound like 1970s 1980s stuff pleasant but not exciting br br is accompanied by a very pretty woman but she isn't too animated either the only song out of 23 that creates any excitement is the last one roll over now if only some of the other 22 songs had that excitement to them this could have been a much better concert dvd,negative

this game was terrible i think they worked too hard on the visuals and didn't do much with the which is the most important part i mean the visuals look incredible but is the game really fun no i mean it's like hey let's jump off buildings and all i'm doing is holding up and a x the game play just isn't there and i don't agree with what did because they had this hot girl the producer of the game raymond and they were like ok we've got this hot girl let's her and if you go to you're not gonna see stuff of you'll see her face with a and it'll be like we interviewed raymond about her favorite it's like man shut the f k up who cares apparently a lot of people do because they bought the game and like it i mean compare this game with super mario galaxy a game that really doesn't abuse the remote but still is very innovative and delivers in the most important part they were able to do a bit of everything with mario galaxy the graphics were still stunning the music in the game was and sounded amazing and that's a game that deserves game of the year not man it doesn't even deserve to even be a for game of the year the hype around this game where it was like oh it's the next generation of really i think not so let me get this straight here because i think the people liking this game are only liking it because they're fans so i'll tell you guys will not make out with you or anything if you love or defend this game if you want a real game on the get fortune if you want a real game for the get call of duty 4 and a ton of other games too and if you want a real game just in all the systems get super mario galaxy i know this comment will be hated by many but seriously two buttons for doing all this cool stuff is that really a fun game the only reason why other games make it more complicated is because after it'll end up being more innovative and fun and this game just isn't it br br 1 3 10 a living hell,negative

this movie is so god awful that it was literally a chore to watch i wanted to it from my vcr and throw it across the room but kept thinking that it would eventually get funny and then everything would be all right you lose we win this movie should be required viewing for anyone who even once entertained the thought that jackie mason was funny after that beat them the head with this movie until the tape cracks and if you're even considering renting this turd or worse yet have i have one thing to ask of you didn't you even look at the cover i mean with crap like this you can tell with just a glance how bad it is this movie sucked,negative
really this movie should be released to dvd i just got a copy of what i think was a studio film and i was utterly pleased it was on my list of films to own simply because of the cast three of my people michael york olivia both having been in romeo juliet and also john sorry about the bad spelling were in there so on that alone i thought that for the small amount i was spending it would be fine boy was i right i'm not going to give any of this one away you may already know the story anyway but i'll just say if you can get yourself a copy in any format do it you won't be sorry,positive
broadcast news is directed by james l brooks terms of as good as it gets and has a great cast including william hurt albert brooks and holly hunter everyone gives a good performance but they're all too unlikable to really care about them br br some parts of the film are really brilliant such as the prologue and the short scenes with jack nicholson the main reason it doesn't entirely work is it's a film that relies on the characters being amusing rather than amusing things happening to them br br you could consider it nothing more than a drama but it's often too silly to be successful there as well still the script makes it worth a watch certainly not for everyone br br 7 0 out of 10,positive
all i can do is echo the sentiment already expressed by some of the other this is city of god meets happy days the of the ruthless thug one minute a ruthless killer the next minute a commercial is completely unconvincing you can approach it in one of two ways 1 a gritty realistic movie turned sappy or 2 a sappy abc special with profanity violence and animal cruelty either way it just don't fly do it why then has it received so much praise as others have implied it gets the conscience vote from the west show us pictures of poverty to contrast against our double wide theatre seats and oz and we'll applaud in a but oh don't forget to candy coat it because the bitter of reality as it is is hard for us to swallow br br i'm terribly disappointed that this film would receive so many awards and especially when there are far more deserving works of film out there all i can say is beware of any film that receives awards hollywood oscars sweeping tripe cannes film festival beard propaganda to find the real gems you'll have to work hard at it,negative
4 ranks as one of the greatest films of the century the word classic has never been so used as in describing this mind blowing epic i agree that the original is the best of the series but the claustrophobic tension of the space station in which 4 is set really must be seen to be believed i strongly recommend this to anyone interested in seeing one of major film,positive

interesting cartoon included on the dvd of the lost of i especially like the way the color was used in the background art very artistic for columbia whose cartoon department generally had a very low budget and the results looked like it br br i do wonder however how a certain um finger gesture ever got past the censors granted the gesture in question was seen a lot less frequently in than it is today you'd think someone besides the animators would have noticed though especially since it's seen three times in the scene in question and based on the context i suspect that its inclusion was intentional something the animators slipped in just to see if the censors would notice,positive
what can be said about a movie that makes two hours seem like three weeks the hero starts out in japan goes through an identity crisis saving a makes a voyage to america saving a slave named sam in a little wild west action saving a french japanese native american named julie goes hunting gold and then heads back to japan to fight a war the film obviously has no clue where it's going at any point in time i think the director each scene after the last movie he'd watched if you're going to watch this film i suggest renting the subtitled so you and your peers can openly discuss how dumb the movie is without speaking over the movie potentially missing another dumb plot twist br br movies the director was watching during the making of this movie an american tail goes west star wars indiana jones the teenage mutant ninja kung fu vampire hunter d the ten br br notes of interests most fear inspiring line of all time about 90 minutes or 19 days into the movie the lead character has just an american villain and just as one heads to the vcr to end the pain the hero let's go back to japan and the agony continues for another week,negative
i would say of is a return to greatness but the series was never really great very good 1 was 2 3 were and i think this 4th installment is equal to or even better than the first movie and it contains the best gets lucky so he does in the role of jennifer who thoroughly this series as ryan did for trek voyager ' didn't just create a presence she added much needed humor back story drama tension and a great little sidekick play thing for and as much as i liked her in the feature she can't get all the credit the props watch the first 1 2 minutes for horror the writing the inside jokes again the opening and lines were great in fact if this were a movie it would take 3 4 sequels just to do it justice among others mercifully and the series has given up on andy the hide the soul quest and just settled for a new way out of his body he teams up with his ex whom he into a bride doll and a couple of bonnie clyde teens really to regain this buried with human corpse this is for any fan 1980s slasher horror fans or even to those who's never seen any of the previous films it's funny dark harmless gory – but not over the top and despite literal 20 minutes of screen time it's always great to see her after all you barely see her play poker anymore side note of course i picked up on the superman reference –,positive
you might suspect that the plot of this movie was written in the process of filming it begins as a versus vigilante movie but in the middle of the film the plot changes abruptly when the vigilante turns to be an honest man with his honest girl and his honest gym and has to fight the corrupt who want to turn the gym down at any cost to build a mall or something then the plot changes again and we forget about the corrupt guys the villain now is the friend of the leading man who thinks he is a ninja the guy becomes crazy evil and wants at any cost to win a martial arts contest seeing this movie is like having a nightmare with the television on,negative

the is masterpiece it tells the tale of a stuffed toy dog who for an orange after he the mother tell her daughter she hasn't any money the dog gets picked with other toys to be sold off in the truck after the others jump off while the vehicle runs the dog stays and waits to be picked up from store before setting off on his own he manages to get orange after biting woman's leg as she was holding and selling the fruit as he runs he encounters the devil and accepts his offer to stop at nightclub there he meets the other toys who jumped off truck the cat who was next to him in vehicle is especially determined to get orange i'll just stop here to mention that other wonderfully bizarre things happen in nightclub that you'll have to see for yourself suffice it to say if you love and is interested in all animation from the past i most definitely recommend you seek this one out,positive
i thought this would be a fun comedy with no sex or nudity in it well there's no sexual content but as for being a fun comedy i only remember laughing a total three times during the green the hilarity is centered around and mental which is just sick humor in a bad way br br i should have walked out of this film and i'm kicking myself because i didn't in fact i shouldn't have seen this movie in the first place the only good that came out of this film was was the fact that and his brother finally made and put their ugly past behind them i advise any well meaning individual to steer clear of this gross out flick,negative
no more and for her br br this little romantic comedy clips along from scene to scene with a few exotic twists some imaginary scenes and a costume party all of this is centered around the wife of the husband s who is looking to break out of the played by gloria she is twenty here both the leading men have a natural air that is convincing and of course is perfect in all kinds of from to worried to hopeful br br behind all the games and apparent is that old serious problem of staying in love and not in love there's a little but director demille is on top of keeping it snappy and believable in all as with many films from this period the subtitles do not just tell what they are saying or thinking but often give a kind of philosophical insight as if to justify the tragedy or and there is that higher purpose here probably better without the text but it's part of the narrative style and it's kind of quaint br br if you are looking for visual or you won't find it here but as a story well acted and filmed with and economy it's really a great example the events might not come as a total surprise but it's such a modern love story set almost a hundred years ago it's a gas and did i saw was perfect,positive

i was amazed at the quality of this film particularly after seeing pictures of the barely adult director all of him truly a boy directing a movie about a boy i look forward to seeing more luke films br br i did think this one was a bit too long there was too much time spent showing connor being and unwilling to make a move on owen didn't try hard enough owen being so young could have easily become closer to and later decided it wasn't his and owen would still have learned the valuable lesson about corruption and politics instead he didn't give himself a fair chance to learn about his sexuality and what about poor owen could have been a good influence br br though the film to show owen as a hero who perverted corruption i felt sad for owen he was offered the opportunity to have some boy boy fun with who was extraordinarily beautiful owen didn't have to go along with the political as offered but he could have tried to have some fun with and still walked away when he wanted it was clear that owen was in charge no one forced him to do anything he didn't want to do but he could have had more fun and with a very hot boyfriend at that br br i hope luke makes more movies where appealing young characters have more fun,positive

this middle class sitcom became the subject of much hatred by the new breed of talented comedians in the 1980s such as ben did it deserve such well terry and june was never clever it was never a well written tale with different threads which at the conclusion it was the show your mother and father and probably grandparents watched they rather than laughed but they were never likely to be offended by the show so the fact that it never challenged them was br br one foot in the grave suffered initially because it appeared at first sight to be just another terry and june br br a few days after the death of terry scott an episode was broadcast on tv and that has been its final outing there have been few repeats of the show on any tv channel br br thankfully tv comedy has advanced since terry and june it's hard to find kind words for it terry scott did make the best of weak scripts,negative
let me start by saying that if you're expecting subtle humour you're in the wrong theatre it's low brow and heavy hitting but he's not out to your funny bone he's got the out and he's drawn a on the side of your head but fear not as movies go this is a fairly gentle education oh also heavy on the swearing but once again mike judge not fred rogers br br was this movie called f no the gem the essence that is mike judge is that he has the ability to make people laugh at themselves and was most popular with teen aged boys the very people at which it fun br br with that in mind i don't think the humour in this movie is aimed at the super intelligent maybe you are all too smart to get it but he's not aiming at you he's aiming at your average joe and he's got a message get your act together and for god's sake study it is a little disjointed and the narrator gets to be a little irritating after a while but once again this movie is meant for people who need a lot of narration it's funny it has a message that it wants to make sure that we all understand br br i question the casting of luke wilson in the role of a man with a 100 iq sometimes he's not able to play down what's he got like a to the level of his character slightly forced at times br br kudos on shepard in this one i remember seeing him in and thinking this guys looks like an idiot in this movie he makes a great idiot maybe i'm psychic br br it took a while to warm up to but i gave her a little after all she did have to play straight man to an entire planet but once she got a little screen time she made a solid contribution br br terry played the same psychotic aggressive character he's played many times before but he makes a first rate president none the less br br another bonus is that the place was practically empty counting my girlfriend and i there were literally six people in the theatre we could've had a pit and a band so no annoying people talking as appears to be the norm in the to the age br br all in all a good premise and a competent delivery given the intended goal lots of laughs throughout br br what made this movie scary was the fact that when we walked out of the theatre it was sort of like the movie was still playing we saw a lot of idiocy in the people immediately around us maybe made more apparent by the dose we got in the theatre br br they're all all of them,positive
i have nothing but praise for this movie and cast especially ann margaret but more importantly i have praise for my in laws who were are the parents of warren and frank in real life i met most of the children at wedding in 1989 this is an amazing story and is even more incredible to me knowing the family and what everyone went through it is also enjoyable for me to see how my in laws were portrayed in the movie it was pretty accurate my wife even enjoys seeing some little details such as a that she remembered from her childhood yes it is a hard movie to watch but so amazing and heartfelt br br the beauty of this story for me is how many of the children passed through my in laws lives and as a result of marrying their daughter and having warren as a brother in law how many i have met in mine for the past 20 years this story has been a part of my life because of what my mother in law has shared with me that and knowing warren for what it is worth warren lives in california with his family he married his high school sweetheart who he with at his 20 year high school reunion br br there was a show in the 1980's called that's incredible they had a reunion of the family who also got to meet the cast of the show br br for anyone's interest the dvd is available in great britain and australia it is a tough video to come by here in the united states and i have not been able to find a dvd here yet,positive
this film had a couple of funny parts but for the most part made me want to go ahead and change dvd's and watch instead which i had in my own collection at least i would know there was something funny coming up and give me something to look forward to br br i was disappointed in this very low budget film and i do not judge a movie by it's budget it just lacked originality and was too predictable i would not rent or even watch this film again and i am usually a repeat of film the actors were forgettable the story was half thought out and it left me with an urge to get my laugh on i ended up watching jamie white boy gone to have the comedy,negative
ok just what the hell is all this supposed to mean halloween 6 let's just call it that ok is without a doubt the most confusing film in the series and from what i've heard seeing the original producers cut doesn't sound like it makes things any less than the official release what a mess br br this isn't a really bad film as some have said it has its scary scenes and some rather intense moments it just doesn't make any sense don't tell me that michael was from the beginning to be evil and kill and destroy and blah blah blah it was bad enough when they turned michael into jamie lee brother just so they had an excuse to keep her in the second film this is too much br br it would seem this is another case of the creators of the film trying to be too smart by coming up with a new premise that will shock and impress us all bad move guys we're not looking for an explanation of why michael kills so please don't try and feed us this crap show me michael looking menacing and killing a bunch of people show me dr trying to track him down and as always coming up just short don't waste what turned out to be the last performance of donald by telling me in the most confusing way possible that michael was created by some cult from hell and that his seed will be passed on to another and oh brother br br halloween 6 has its moments don't get me wrong and we all know there have been far worse sequels than this anyone so get what you can out of it the scene toward the end of the film with michael down a deep red is particularly effective and try to ignore the screwball plot hopefully one day we can all see the cut and maybe get the chance to make a bit more sense out of all of this till then this will have to do br br,negative
the best of everything just what is the best of everything it is different for everyone but for most of us it is love but alas not everyone knows where or who to look to for real love this story goes the whole of looking for love sometimes in all the wrong places and for all the wrong reasons but as the saying goes we are the of our own ships and so it goes for our lives we are responsible for the choices that we make in our lives once we make those choices then we must live with them as we watch this story and as we see these women making choices that most likely change their lives forever we wonder would we make the same choices as these women or would we be who knows,positive

considered by many to be a strangely overlooked it seems to me the reason it has been cold is its sleaze factor not as overtly sexy violent or gory as many films of this period it nevertheless starts rather and although becoming more continues to a rather unpleasant ms not here the ice maiden but a drunken mother donald does a cameo as a child david has his eyes on sex and the central theme involves the relationship between a brother sister and niece no not very nice at all and treats it all as if it is very normal like it might be in some small french village instead of ed new york city had this been treated in a more sensational manner then it would have been a more acceptable but lesser film here we really have to choose between the of various unpleasant before the final denouement very watchable,positive

i like 50s sci fi movies a lot i like the really good ones such as the day the earth stood still when worlds invasion of the body and many others and sometimes the really bad ones because they can be really funny and great to watch with friends such as plan 9 from outer space however when a sci fi movie is bad but not bad enough to be fun it really should be avoided this movie is just such a film the posters make it appear as some sort of sexy she beast is attacking mankind whereas the real plot is a lot less interesting a woman is married to a she is and begins to grow to a huge size and decides to track down this worm and kick his tail and that's about it also many of the special effects really stink especially the gigantic hand that comes into the room to grab the wicked,negative
i wish i could use the time travel machine to jump back to the moment i considered seeing this movie and make other plans instead i saw a free screening of a sound of thunder so i can't complain about the price but i wish i could get my minutes the acting was mediocre and the special effects were people shouldn't make movies about dinosaurs if they can't afford to make the creatures look as good or better than those in jurassic park spielberg spoiled us edward burns as travis was the movie's only saving grace i noticed that females under 18 rated the movie the highest and the only explanation is that they over burns the whole time the whole long minutes this movie should have been over in about 80 minutes it just dragged on and on and on don't waste your time or your money on this far fetched flick,negative
after viewing still life a short film directed by jon i was genuinely excited for his feature film debut jack brooks monster still life had perfectly captured the essence and feel of an episode of the twilight zone and i was eager to see what could do when taking on the horror comedy genre the campy nature of the name and suggested something along the lines of evil dead or army of darkness a fun gory 80's style horror flick with lots of monsters while that was what was going for he utterly fails at capturing any of the fun or entertainment value these movies had br br the problem with jack brooks monster is that it completely lacks an understanding of what made these horror comedies that it tries to evoke so great in the first place two thirds of the running time is primarily devoted to the film's hero jack brooks a and college student as he goes to class and attempts to deal with his bursts of anger there's a monster in sight for the greater part of the film barely even a drop of blood or the slightest attempt at anything horror related even if evil dead or dead alive had subsequent amounts of the gore cut out they'd still be entertaining jack brooks isn't it's plain boring which is the worst thing a film of this nature can be jack brooks himself is not all that interesting at least not enough to warrant the amount of screen time he's given all one needs to know about him is revealed in the films first ten minutes and from that point on whenever he's not beating the pulp out of a monster and he rarely does he's not worth watching the movie goes nowhere following him around on psychiatric sessions and with classmates br br eventually things do pick up jack brooks battles a few monsters some heads are crushed a few humans are slaughtered and then it's over just like that all within the span of about fifteen minutes it is a good fifteen minutes the monsters are all fairly inventive and done entirely in camera and there's some great gore gags the best being a zombies head crushed in but after sitting through five minutes of pure tedium fifteen minutes just isn't going to cut it br br that's really all there is to it i could on about the acting which is fairly well done especially horror icon robert englund in a non traditional role and how the creature are a nice to the days when films didn't use cgi but it really doesn't matter jack brooks monster is utterly boring and while jon obviously does have the talent to create a good film once again the last fifteen minutes are killer and still life was amazing – check it out jack brooks completely misses the mark it has its acting make up but those don't change the fact that it's not very entertaining at all the screening i caught this at had the director and cast in one piece of information i picked up was that a sequel was in development and that this time it would focus more on fighting monsters as opposed to the creation of a hero my advice skip this one and wait for the sequel,negative
when it was announced the king of pop was dead at age 50 a month before he was to start a series of live comeback shows at it was a huge shock to millions of people around the world he was and will forever be one of the most talented voices and dancers in the music industry and he will be missed terribly i decided to remind myself how wonderful he was by watching what is considered by many to be not only jackson's best video and possibly song but the greatest music video ever made from director john an american werewolf in london the film opens with michael and his girl ray having their car breakdown and after giving her a ring the moon comes out and he turns into a werewolf we then see michael and his girl watching this horror film in the cinema she is scared and walks out and michael soon follows her singing the iconic song soon enough the voice of vincent price comes on and zombies start out the earth and open from the graveyard and michael and the girl are obviously surrounded she turns away and michael has become a zombie himself and with all the other creatures they do the iconic dance before he turns back into his normal self at least for the chorus the girl runs into the near creepy house the but zombie michael still manages to break through and when he touches her she screams to see normal michael say what's the problem the film ends with him taking her home and looking at us with evil eyes michael jackson was number 14 on the 100 greatest pop culture icons and he was number 6 on the ultimate pop star the thriller album was number 4 on the 100 greatest albums and this video was number on the 100 greatest scary moments and it was number 1 on the 100 greatest pop videos very good,positive
i am assuming that the rave reviews on this page were from people who have never read the book unfortunately for those of us who love the text hollywood itself on destroying this one br br i am not sure where on earth the woman love interest came from except that she replaced the cat nor why our rogue male acquired a helpful family back in in fact the vast majority of the book has been cut out and replaced with your standard love story the ambiguity about which world leader was in his sights was removed completely and our rogue was given a name neither of these appeared until the second book br br i gave it a 2 rather than a 1 simply because of the wonderfully bad cockney accents joan bennett dick van dyke in mary by miles and this goes a tiny way towards saving it br br ah well brits should probably avoid this trust me,negative
i would like to start by saying i can only hope that the makers of this movie and it's sister film the intruder directed by the great auteur that is know in their hearts just how much pleasure they have brought to me and my friends in the sleepy north eastern town of br br from the opening pre credit sequence which manages to drag ever so slightly despite containing a man crashing through a window on a the destruction of a silence lab the introduction of one of the most simultaneously annoying and bad guys in movie history and costume design that jean paul would find and make no mistake this is a truly unique experience early highlight an explosion get used to it plenty more where that came from followed by a close up of our heroine and the most hilarious line reading of the word dad in living memory and then the theme song br br yeah this deserves its own paragraph sung by written by people who really should wish to remain anonymous it makes the songs written for the rocky films sound like this is crap 80's hero motivation at an all time high with choice lyrics such as its only me and you its come down to the wire and much talk of having to cross the line it'll make sense in time our hero cares little for the boundaries of police work not to mention the the film's title at this point anyone wishing to switch off officially has no pulse br br our hero is cop peter brilliantly by intruder star peter o'brien the of the title the man's bull in a china shop approach to crime fighting and particularly his less than undercover work truly leaves much to be desired but he is without question an entertaining guide through the mean streets of downtown with local sleaze ball connection captain johnny in as well as own waste of space partner in fashion crime sylvia who does little so many highlights so little time the slide please arrogance of not all too convincingly case against chief baddie greg intruder fans will know slimy bastard craig as the monstrous john white name eh no oh well the x marks the spot location map stupidity our hero taking horrible advantage of heroine tina during a moment of weakness on her behalf the latter turning up at a operation dressed like a member of a particularly flamboyant dancing and believe me that barely covers it br br there wasn't even time to go into the plot revolving around the hunt for a drug system and a kidnapped professor with an but commendable amount of national pride or our hero turning up at a funeral dressed as if an extra on boogie nights or the absolutely hysterical between captain johnny and two guys have never made more heavy weather of buddy buddy than these the was possibly too subtle me thinks br br ah it off people and you never thought scenes of destruction and general mayhem could be so unbelievably boring but the character interaction is the dialogue truly priceless and the incompetence on show somehow endearing oh and the shoes people watch out for the shoes,positive

i tuned in to this movie because there was nothing else to watch i was immediately sucked in by the characters br br robin is nothing less than spectacular in this film her portrayal of a mentally ill woman is both moving and 100 believable really this sort of thing is not easy to do she pulls it off fantastically br br we know early on this film is going to end but you cannot take your eyes off of it the characters do stupid things but unlike most hollywood movies where people do stupid things because the plot demands it these people do stupid things because the are not right in the head and the things they do are completely consistent with their characters br br this is just a great example of film making imho great writing great acting great directing a film for people who think film can be more than mindless entertainment,positive
forget some the whiny and pointless comments left here by some this series is well acted well shot and makes a refreshing change to most of the on tv br br any fool can anything however in this show the characters are believable the story lines intriguing and compelling but do require some intelligence on the part of the viewer overall it's enjoyable and it's british we do occasionally come up with some gems and this is one of them br br the shows are an hour long each and i think there are four of them all together at least i've only seen four of them the show clearly impressed some u s tv station director who made a longer series which was nowhere near as compelling in spite of the bigger budget br br if like and reality shows you won't like or understand hour,positive
i know i'm human and if you were all these things then you'd just attack me right now so some of you are still human this thing doesn't want to show itself it wants to hide inside an imitation it'll fight if it has to but it's vulnerable out in the open if it takes us over then it has no more enemies nobody left to kill it and then it's won br br john carpenter's the thing is one of the most entertaining horror films ever made – fast clever and purely exciting from start to finish this is how all movies of the genre should be made br br taking place in the in 1982 the movie focuses specifically on a group of american scientists we are given no introduction to their mission but are thrust into their existence when a pair of seemingly crazy appears at their base camp chasing an escaped dog the are killed and the dog finds its way into the colony which is when things really start to get crazy br br it is soon made quite clear that the dog is actually a shape shifting alien which itself upon the physical form of its victims – in other words it begins to eat the americans and imitate them so well that the remaining humans cannot the difference between their friends and enemies br br the pack of scientists led by kurt russell begin to fight for their own survival using wits instead of if the thing is indeed amongst them then how are they to go about revealing it how many things are there how can the thing be killed or can it be destroyed at all br br the origins in the film are explained easily thirty thousand years ago a to earth and was frozen in the ice the thing tried to escape and was discovered in the ice by the who released it from its natural prison br br the thing the movie itself is similar to scott's iconic alien 1979 many comparisons have been made – the protagonists are stranded in a desolate area stalked by a seldom seen that manages to kill them off one by one however the thing – for all practical purposes – came first br br based on the famous short story who goes there by john w campbell jr writing under as don a stuart the film was originally adapted as a feature production in 1951 by howard and christian the result was the thing from another world an classic but to be fair it bore little resemblance to the short story and carpenter's remake does it more justice br br the idea of the thing being able to adapt the of anyone is what essentially makes this movie so great and is the most vital link to the short story in 1951 the special effects were simply too poor to reasonably portray the shape shifting but thirty one years brought many advances in br br creature effects artist rob does an excellent job of turning what could have easily become a cheesy gore fest into a frightening and realistic mess of blood and fear the thing although never actually taking one specific form is constantly seen in a stage and the effects are simply superb they still pack a punch twenty two years later br br score nominated for a award at the time is a bit too electronic and but nevertheless haunting when used correctly br br from the fact that its cast consists entirely of males to the fact that its ending is one of the most thought provoking and conclusions of all time the thing – by any standards – is unconventional hollywood at its best it comes as no surprise that at the time of its release the thing performed poorly in theaters and e t – released the same year and featuring a much alien – became the higher picture of the two by far br br in the long run however the thing is superior in almost every way spielberg's tale is outdated and during its 20th re release the thing on the other hand has gradually a ladder of cult classics – it is one of the most famous non famous movies ever made br br carpenter is notorious for having a very uneven career – from his amazing assault on 13 1976 to the magnificent halloween 1978 to the disappointing and silly escape from l a 1996 the thing remains his very best motion picture although its reputation over the years has never been enough to land it a spot on most great movies lists the thing is still one of my favorite horror films and – upon close – masterfully crafted it is a daring and ingenious thrill ride that is simultaneously unique and chilling – a genuine relief for film buffs who are tired of the same old horror knock offs this one at the very least is genuinely unpredictable,positive

personally i loved movie my best friend told me about it so i rented it out a watched it it's amazing the music the acting the story lines the emotion everything well except for one minor fact absolutely no loyalty to the books at all i saw this movie before interview with the vampire and before i even knew the books existed so i was shocked to find how many people actually hated the movie i picked up quickly that the book fans weren't at all happy with the not wanting to be i hate the harry potter movies due to lack of book loyalty i stayed silent eventually i picked up the vampire and understood immediately why everyone hated it it is completely different the movie queen of the damned is a combination of the vampire and the queen of the damned but i still loved the movie from when i saw it before reading any of the books so if you haven't seen this movie or read the book watch the movie first or you'll hate it if you have read the book then you have every right to hate this movie,positive

in 2004 i wrote the following statements on an imdb message board when a user wondered if the best years of our lives was a forgotten movie br br to me watching this movie is like opening up a time capsule i think in many ways the best years of our lives is probably one of the more fascinating character studies and it holds up extremely well as a look at life in the us in the mid 1940s after wwii i believe coming home and the deer hunter both released in 1978 were the most recent films that were closest in capturing the numerous issues of military men returning from war that were brought up in the best years of our lives br br what really impressed me was watching the movie in its entirety when i was in college around 1980 and many if not all of the college students at the end of the movie br br this movie still packs a and i'm very happy to read in other other users feeling of a movie that will definitely stand the test of time br br i'm very happy to see the movie near the top 100 movies on imdb and also though it was in competition with what eventually became a christmas classic it's a wonderful life arguably the best years of our oscar wins including best picture were very well deserved br br i've just seen the film again in 2005 and after almost 60 years the best years of our lives is still a powerful beautifully acted and well crafted motion picture,positive

wow i just don't even know where to begin with what made this movie so awful maybe i should start by just saying that during a confrontation between the antagonist and protagonist i had to leave the theater because i was laughing so hard yeah the acting really was that bad the acting was not even the worst part though the plot was almost entirely shown in the previews the characters are all grossly underdeveloped the dialogue and dramatic moments are ridiculous the bad guy is a caricature of an out of control power drunk br br but hey the actors are pretty so guess that was supposed to make it all better,negative

this movie was horrible if it had never been made the world would be a better place come on a flying what were they thinking this was a sub par movie with a horrible hook and i would like a written from the studio that produced this along with some to help me for the time i wasted on this crap fest that i can never get back if you to see this movie i am truly sorry because i watched it on tv on a sunday afternoon when i had nothing better to do and it pretty much ruined my whole week a flying freaking and that's supposed to make up for having a horrible mother who cares more about her own screwed up needs than her children no wonder they don't have enough sense to tell someone he is beating them their mother teaches them nothing but that what she wants comes before everything else absolutely horrible,negative
i'm not going to on about it but i'm just going to make it brief basically for those who don't know how actually died the first time round the demonic assassin comes hit and with an energy ball they fly through the wall blood everywhere the third sister comes down the stairs says the spell which send him away but not needs the power of three leo comes them both and so on they get exposed along the line and the only way the can be saved is for a demon named to turn back time the only way he can do that is is stays in the underworld she agrees turns back time it now around 7 00 in the morning again demon comes and with energy ball they fly through wall again but this time isn't there to say the spell to demon off demon kills doctor doctor flies through window he is dead demon goes in a wing type thing and glass on the doors which is a great effect bye the way and there is and sound thats where it ends now what the whole world doesn't know if they didn't pay attention to the next episode although what i'm about to say wasn't shown its what happens trust me because this time there was no to call for leo this time he arrives later survives because her as fatal as and leo her first before so by that time is already dead there mystery solved ps calling for with a spell should have worked and she should have made a surprise appearance in the last ever episode ok i did on,positive
i watched this movie based on the good reviews here and i won't make that mistake again br br the first couple minutes shows that a group of people have been brought together by some tragedy but you don't see what it is flashback 12 hours and we get to see the boring lives of each of these people which in the end are totally meaningless to what is about to happen when the ending is finally you realize that you just wasted an hour of your life waiting for a big payoff that doesn't happen and means nothing to what you have been watching the only connection these people have is that they have all had a bad day but even that continuity gets lost in the boredom br br if this was supposed to be a crash clone it's a complete failure,negative
i saw le on the 2005 it was the first of ten films i saw there br br le has left the most powerful impression of the ten films from the first shot you know the movie is going to be something special the beautiful cinematography left me in awe of what can be done with a camera the music is also on par with the visuals the colorful and stylish architecture like images br br toni plays the main character in the film he's a tax expert gone wrong who lives in a hotel every week he brings a with money to a bank and the story plays around this br br he is always very controlled and shows almost no emotion to anyone looks and well dressed he has a habit of ignoring people who are of no significance to him for example played very nicely by olivia who works as a in the hotel where he lives although she's been working in the hotel for two years he never her even if she does him on one day she confronts him with this and the next day he sits at the bar instead of his usual spot at a window from here the story really begins and will unfold in a strong tale of love sacrifice and the mafia br br i won't spoil the rest of the film see this film if you love stylish movies like ones from david lynch the godfather etc don't see this if you're an action buff,positive
when i went to the cinema i expected not much i knew nothing about this movie but it was the only movie i could see 'cause i was in a small town then so i saw this movie and i was fascinated la che non is a trip through the new industrial china and it shows it honestly you see most of the time the ugly places of china and you see what really happens with this new the main characters are sad but hopefully people he's the naive italian guy who can't believe what he she's a from china who's missing her son sometimes sad sometimes funny but every time poetic a wonderful movie with wonderful actors so only one star is missing,positive

jane eyre with full frontal nudity i was not surprised to see that a woman had had a hand in this awful woman's picture and i mean that in the worst possible way the trouble is it could have been so good if they had only left out the jane eyre stuff and stuck with the vastly more interesting scenes involving the spanish portuguese jews in early 19th century london when the sound track music is better than the film you know you are in trouble when you fast forward the video because you can't stand the film just to make sure you don't miss anything you are in even worse trouble this film will end up on the romance tv channel where it rightly belongs,negative
warning some spoilers included though it is a documentary br br i bought this documentary because i like the work of the directors d a and chris which includes moon over broadway com and the war room all terrific documentaries i would highly recommend watching this ultimately boring and account from 1988 tour i realized they had nothing to work with when they went to edit this film together the band members were certainly less than on camera hence undoubtedly the contest to add fans on a one week bus trip was added to things up a bit really now i mean c'mon who thought a concert film of a pop band with three and a singer would be a good idea granted i like music and martin gore writes good but seeing them in concert never seemed like it would be interesting and this movie is proof positive unless you are a huge fan of mode stay away from this documentary it's a complete waste of time,negative
this is possibly the worst movie i have ever seen can somebody please explain the plot of this movie to me yes i know the bus ran out of gas in the middle of the desert after the driver never noticed that his wasn't but what then and how did it end maybe i'm to stupid to understand this movie but to me it was an absolute waste of time br br my recommendation do not bother there are far better movies to be seen this movie ranks with my other all time low going overboard adam sandler and fire on the amazon sandra,negative
i watched x because scott walker composed the film score and i admire his music a lot frankly i expected a somewhat pretentious and possibly incoherent french movie i was wrong the vision of the film quickly managed to engage my attention to the starting with the opening sequence which shows black and white footage of military throwing bombs at graves at the sounds of music and scott beautiful voice the film explores the identity crisis of pierre depardieu a brilliant choice for the role and his self destruction the story is divided into two parts – the first depicts life in a beautiful house in the french countryside and the second follows his utter personal after he everything and moves to paris to live in with his supposed half sister both parts contain some amazingly stunning photography – the first very colorful and bright the second utterly gloomy and nearly apocalyptic adding up to a true aesthetic feast x is a fascinating and quite unique movie experience,positive
i generally won't review movies i haven't seen in awhile so i'll pop them in or rent them to give a full and fresh take on the film in the case of 'a sound of thunder ' i remembered my of never seeing this movie ever again so i'll just go on memory in fact i haven't thought of how badly made this movie was until i read someone else's review and remembered the experience i had back in 2005 when i actually saw this in the theater my movie buddy forced me to see it though i wasn't interested and wow later on i forced him to see instinct in the theater reminding him he made me see this crap so i guess that made us even i certainly had my share of deep laughs at the movie's expense of course which didn't make him happy as he really wanted to see it the time travel effect film had so many bad graphics the chuckles from me was whenever they showed the dinosaur god i loved seeing that and them actually being scared of it – it was hilarious or just simply ben kingsley it's great kingsley can remind us on how human actors can be going from and to uh this even a meryl streep can do a from time to time so they're forgiven for months i pulled an mst3k with my buddy consistently this movie to any low rent sci fi film or kingsley flick yes the movie would be a great movie to see drunk or otherwise horrible over the top acting special fx that even the would turn away and ridiculous plot twists the biggest disappointment was that the didn't even this film for any award,negative
i'm watching this horrid film as we speak it is possibly one of the worst movies ever aired in my house i'm sitting here with 3 friends and they agree its not scary its not funny its not dramatic it contains nothing appealing whatsoever we are minutes in the movie we've only seen 2 only one person has died this movie is one big letdown nothing about this horrible horrible movie has made me want to watch the rest i'm getting a movie hang over i hope that everyone who had anything to do with making this movie dies i don't just mean the actors i mean the director producers the from the studio that this movie it is in full the worst movie ever it should make the imdb worst 100 movies of all time at number 1,negative
i don't understand why critics would bash this movie it's a teen movie that's actually serious which is a i'll admit that there are moments that are hugely sappy but c'mon it's about young love it's gotta be sappy to be valid my biggest complaint is chris while he was funny in american pie he apparently isn't ready for the switch into more dramatic fare yet he's very uncomfortable looking in some of his mama stuff and on the other hand demonstrate a remarkable amount of depth and believability as do the although the script is heavily cliched with the lovers off poetry the actor's make it work the directing sports some powerful images on the screen beautiful cinematography nice music great young actors i was impressed and i'm a jaded critic when it comes to teen movies,positive
has chuck norris as a truck driver and a karate master talk about two careers he gives a load he can't deliver to his younger brother michael and then when the young man doesn't show up chuck goes looking for him br br what young has got himself into is a speed trap run by judge george who comes from the roy bean school of of course norris deals with matters in the usual chuck norris way and when he gets in trouble the call goes out over the for all the to come and help their good buddy this speed trap known as texas city has a bad reputation and the drivers are only too happy to help a pal br br of course quite a bit younger and with no facial hair in this one he's got the tight look of a man who realizes the academy won't be looking at this george is overacting outrageously as the judge roy bean wannabe br br this one is strictly for the fans of chuck norris,negative
i think the problem with some reactions to this film is that with few exceptions they don't focus on the main hence the main split in the audience br br on the one side there are those who are taken by the visual design pretty costumes and variety of elements going into the film some children's movie fans love the colour and animation and all the un scary effects animals and so on some culture like the complicated references the of different elements and the fact that they can watch zhang singing and quasi in two different languages in what really was intended to be a children's comedy br br on the other side there are those who say that a children's movie should still have a point that a blend of is not a tale at all and that it's easier to believe in magic when enough thought and care has gone into the technical aspects to make it seem real br br in other words the ideas could be lovely but when you put them they have to deliver here they don't br br a good from any country has a clear story a point and characters who interact strongly with each other this lacks them all a few over sophisticated gestures to opera western and japanese are no replacement for a solid theme br br as a fantasy fan i must say that i've sat through some and loved a few but this one really tries to do too many things cheaply putting in zhang to try to add a little of exotic flower syndrome the other problem isn't that there's no plot there's half a plot which means that you keep getting pulled in then dropped again as another none too executed dance number kicks off br br the characters all seem to know that they're starring in a movie unless you really like watching other amateur video this ain't good i'd like to test this on real children i think they'd drop it for in heaven after about 20 minutes,negative
i love bad movies plan 9 from so on and this movie fits right in don't believe anyone who tells you this is good film it's downright awful tim accent moves from german to portuguese to hungarian there's a person in a gorilla suit who is supposed to be able to communicate using a that the sign language there is a scene with a killer that moves around a river like a great white shark there are people up and down as if there were on it this thing is laughably ridiculous so ridiculous i was rolling on the floor it is totally implausible i loved every minute of it,negative
the original title always struck me as a rather overblown definition for a bunch of gun still their screen presence was at least by a top quality group of actors to support most were movie stars in their own right br br however this first sequel was a pale imitation with a group now composed of largely b and c list players who were more mediocre than magnificent it was a similar set up had to yet another team of gun to sort out the mexican problems again another was giving them grief br br with the originality and of the first movie now spent this remake had little else to offer the budget was evidently very limited this was reflected not only in the cast but also in the below par script which borrowed much from the earlier classic it was also more than half an hour shorter than john original yet we still had a of the and that made even the first a little turgid at times however here there was no decent acting action or location work to balance things up was less it failed to convey the broad of landscapes that were a great part of the original br br generally it just lacked imagination the first movie had been a smash hit and this pedestrian sequel was evidently put together as quickly and cheaply as possible in order to cash in on former success and it shows there's very much a for feel about it br br not recommended,negative
i won't say the show is all bad because there are some funny parts like spencer and a few random incidents but other than that let's face it it's just another dry sitcom that kids are buying into br br miranda was cute and funny as on drake and josh honestly she is mediocre in and is just not as funny as she tries to be the actress who plays sam seems to be half asleep most of the time and her antics are so clichéd that i would think of them they're not funny just annoying and is okay but not that interesting br br of course the situations are unrealistic but it's not all bad some are though here are a few br br 1 the girls are 14 and have a web show that gives away too much personal information with a weekly audience of 27 000 wtf with little to no advertising and they can still go on about their lives not being attacked by crazy people br br 2 their web show gets too much praise 100 000 to a free trip to japan plain white performance and so on honestly anyone over the age of 6 would not find their comedy entertaining br br 3 how is it that they are so average yet they own a three story spencer does hardly anything and can still afford many basic and they have all the equipment for a web show 4 all of the adults are idiots all of them br br 5 no 5 foot high girl no matter how obnoxious and can take down trained cops unless she's muscular sam is skinny and br br 6 no one can fall down 9 stories in an elevator and live br br 7 kids can handle finding out about criminals better than cops br br the show is stupid really it seems harmless but making kids think that they can be obnoxious to their live alone in seattle when they're only 14 with an irresponsible moron and give out personal information is just wrong br br i'm disappointed to say that my cousin who is 3 enjoys the show what happened to the cartoons when i was her age,negative
let's be fair there are no rules for so i won't say the movie should be something other than it is i'll just state my opinion ok i really liked the script the way things are told and characters are introduced however i think when a play is adapted to the silver screen it could maybe try and fit this other media since this movie was directed by the same man who directed the play it's not too much of a surprise that the film turned out a bit too theatrical it's the man's first movie for out loud what i'm saying is there are parts in the film like the city of which slightly resembles the set of de maria that feel like we're not at a movie theater we're at the theater lines are spoken too characters are moving and the is clearly meant for a stage sure maybe that was the intention but that's been done on stage wonderful things have been made when adapting a play into a movie the beautiful closer for instance when i went to see this one though i didn't feel like i was watching a movie but overall it was a good one worth watching it's a nice love story funny at times and sad at others my vote is a 7,positive
i had neither read any of the books nor seen the first movie so after receiving passes to a preview show i had no expectations br br and was a muddled convoluted film lacking direction or any believability there was very little character development and i never found myself caring about the plight of the protagonists the reverse was true i was more interested in seeing how the would succeed as the first half of the film was almost exclusively focused on why the are who they are br br the film jumps from location to location with little explanation or reason and expects the viewer to believe that everybody in the movie is an ally when they first meet any mind will realize this is highly improbable br br the climax is extremely cliché and leaves you asking what happened and wondering why nobody considered some of these points it feels very tacked on and unnecessary br br the actors are not particularly believable in their roles mostly because i found it difficult to believe that scientists and men of the church would act in the manner that they do without regard to the consequences of their actions events that happen are not plausible in the slightest and the pace of the movie is questionable with the characters jumping around while on a tight schedule and i had to question how the protagonists manage to get from location to location on time every time br br the most pleasing part of the film is the cinematography i found it a beautiful film to watch but it was such a mess that i found it would not be worth paying to view in theatres,negative
is there a fire fighter cliché that is not used in this film from the opening line i'm getting too old for this through the antics of the to the wife the loss of his best friend in the to the final funeral for the fallen this film looks and sounds like it was written by the marketing department at disney our studies show that audiences really like it when and then they stuck it in br br there is nothing original here any emotion we feel for these guys is brought in for our admiration and feelings for br br go watch rescue me if you want to see real heroes everyday guys with flaws that think nothing of running into a burning building to save strangers,negative
br br jurassic park iii adventure br br sam the dish william macy happy texas a family man br br a better title would be escape from the island of really mean dinosaurs but then no one would need to see the film in this sequel a tag group pays a visit to the island of dinosaurs to rescue the teenage victim of a hang accident br br access hollywood reports began filming without a completed script that explains why the film seems to have little or no purpose other than to demonstrate state of the art special effects sure there are a few clever scenes and some moderately funny bits but no meaningful plot line to tie them together the dinosaur puppets and animation in are very good to excellent and more numerous than ever but the overall film experience can not hold a candle to the original jurassic park or even br br is a mercifully short 90 minutes the last 10 minutes of which is credits even at that i found myself frequently checking my the audience i saw it with left the theater in silence br br a better bet see the movie blonde br br dave,negative
if you're looking for a not so serious mob movie with a female as the lead you're in the right place has acted much better than this you can see she has beyond this picture br br when i first picked this movie up i expected pfeiffer was poorly miscast however she plays her mob wife role to the not a bad performance from baldwin either br br if you don't pay attention to the hair you might enjoy this movie but don't take it too seriously,positive
one of longest and strangest short films follows a toy dog in search of an orange after becoming animated by the tear of the mother of a girl who for an orange the dog comes upon an orange after falling out of the back of a car on his way to be sold but at night must protect the orange when he comes enters a nightclub featuring many bizarre and scary characters with the help of a stuffed cat the dog gets the orange back to the little girl and she is saved from a terrible death the features new techniques i have not yet seen in films the addition of sync sound and a mixture of live action with the stop motion animation makes for a new twist on old style of live scenes of moving cars and people's feet walking by as a puppet sits on the sidewalk is impressive and fresh the of cars and cries of street is noteworthy due to the fact that small studio shifts to sound were and of the new technology seems like old hat new puppet characters in this film are frightening to the devil's club scene and newspaper come to life of dead birds lay eggs which chicks characters come flying in from all over on and pans and horses a new editing technique uses quick which are accomplished through editing to speed up the pace of what before might have been a slow scene overall is able to update his style of film making to meet the demands of a new audience making this film one of the best examples of his work,positive

i'd first heard of this show in 2005 first online and then by viewing and of course buying the typically gorgeous bbc tie in book then i got the dvd it did not disappoint i'd been hoping for years someone would make a science fiction program with the emphasis on the thrill of discovery rather than aliens laser gun fights and other hollywood gimmicks thank you joe also for your dr who work and the mini series not the crap movie of the same name what compelled me to write this now 2 later was that i'd just seen sunshine last night and what appeared to be in the same family as space odyssey turned into about 2 of the way in freddy krueger meets that was when space odyssey really stood out as a positive example of how to do a real science fiction film more science less fiction odyssey like sunshine also dealt with astronaut shortcomings failed eva over on the with mission control and the sheer danger of exploring new planets with unfamiliar dangers the fatal radiation spike on mars i would've easily paid to see this in a theater i max anyone and to top it all not only were the space jaw beautiful but the characters were nicely drawn too i found their interplay more realistic than the wall of 2 crew dumb name for a mission did anyone read the mythology of sometimes it takes a not so good film to one to re watch a better film as an astronaut i'd trade my passage on for a seat on any day in all fairness however the visuals of sunshine are quite stunning though and quite memorable which is why i was so strongly rooting for it to succeed as an honest to goodness sci fi film so even though this review is almost a back door review of sunshine i hope it's read for what it was meant to be strong support for a bbc that succeeds where most big budget cinematic fail space odyssey a k a voyage to the planets here in the states the for solid science fiction and delivers a i very much enjoyed the pseudo documentary approach as well as for the time light speed they are addressed if you pay attention where sunshine odyssey keeps its cool if you're considering going to the movies for another dose of sunshine stay in go for a true space odyssey instead,positive
up until around 1970 lucille ball was one great she was such a perfect clown i only wish more people could have seen her with bob hope in the facts of life because she could do dry deadpan too as well as slapstick br br yep lucille ball was wonderful until br br trying to see lucille ball in is physically impossible because there is so much on the already that you'd need to see lucille ball in some scenes so even if you see lucille ball in you can't really see lucille ball in which is a br br that's about the thing i can say about the movie of the musical of the movie of the play this could go on but it started with a perfectly funny book called giving this a bad rap is like beating a so it does not matter that the music is rather than sung most of the songs weren't much anyway there isn't any difference in the first three it's today open a new window and we need a little christmas are all the same song should do an album with them they're so big and dull the killer if he walked into my life today needs a confident gorgeous voice won a for doing it in 1967 that poor lucille ball did not possess when she made this movie true can't carry a tune in a bucket either but at least can put over a song br br if you still feel your life is not going to be complete unless you see the movie musical notice how there is dancing in it but whenever lucy starts to do anything beyond a the camera cuts away returning right when the number is over and the star poses with the dancers again it's just as well jane got to the role of pathetic after lucille ball had fired to ensure no comic originality would the star is a stage performer who like carol and can't scale down her performances for films so she joins lucille ball in being embarrassing though for different reasons br br the lavish are by van van and they provide the color missing in all but one of the cast br br arthur as the actress vera charles best friend ignores everyone and does her own fun thing if only she was in more scenes she's too old for her role too but at least she didn't it,negative
unbelievably close to real life feelings and emotions captured by joseph as a child affected by aids and his new young neighbor a wanna be tough redneck played to perfection by brad although the story may seem slightly the two boys attempt to river raft several hundred miles to find a doctor who claims to have the cure to aids the emotion actions and interactions of all characters involved are close to real life being a big brother to a boy in a similar situation who died a few years after this film was released i strongly recommend this picture to anyone who has ever wondered what really happens in the life of a child with aids superb direction by peter creates the perfect mood and setting for each scene and draws the viewer into the various emotions affected by friendship illness prejudice and the final of two friends who fought hard to overcome,positive
i think comments on the doc hit the nail on the head interesting film but very long it's definitely the to the new school of flashy sexy moore style there is no narrator no facts or side info and no other gimmicks what you see is what you get a glimpse into the world of the of as a huge doc fan i was surprised how much i lost attention with this film namely due to the length and lack of dialogue in the end though i would recommend it if the subject matter sounds interesting to you it's beautifully shot informative and presents a valuable and closing window into the way of life of the and women all important attributes of a good doc but do put on a big pot of coffee it'll help,positive

just saw this movie 2 days ago a very interesting look at people and our world through the world of wine i have no special interest in wine and yet i found this very the director gave me the impression that he has the ability to show people as they are while he exposes a lot of things that are below the surface he manages not to take a stand and leave that for the viewer he shows a lot of compassion to people and dogs and sympathy and let people tell their story and in the same time exposes what they don't want to tell br br the movie shows us where our world is going to what are the benefits and what is the heavy price we pay it is a movie about the love of wine and the love of making it big personal and global character and formula br br the real stars of the people for me are the older wine makers with their look at the world and themselves br br it takes some time to get use to the camera moves and editing but it's worth it br br highly recommended,positive
the fun that was present in the other has all but disappeared with this third effort which means the production values show through more than ever another 2 'the chinese together this one suffers from too much padding not to mention weak action taking place in such uninspired locations as a car park apartment and press nicholas is as endearing as ever struggling against the drab production and lame performances of the rest of the cast the plot in which peter and help a chinese official defeat charge of corruption during world war ii by three marines who could as to his innocence doesn't exactly scream book to does it,negative
life is comprised of possibilities some known others a mystery and destined to remain so and what of the vast unknown the beyond which knowledge has no established boundaries or who is to say what exists or what is possible valid questions all of which are raised and explored in the story of a particular personal journey a strange and dramatic odyssey that defies facts and logic in k ' directed by and starring kevin spacey and jeff bridges in the wake of an incident in new central station a man named spacey is transported to a psychiatric hospital in manhattan where he is delivered into the care of dr mark powell bridges who attempts to the truth about his patient who claims to be from the distant planet k it quickly becomes a challenge for dr powell as with his calm direct manner and a for produce he eats and all and red delicious are his favorites is quite convincing but it's job as well as his nature to be skeptical claims however remain intact and stand up even under the most intense and the eye of dr powell who finds himself in something of a even tells him the exact date and time that he will for k a return trip that allows powell but a short time to sort it all out and powell just can't seem to get his mind around the idea that he is dealing with a real alien being and it's something he is going to have to resolve quickly if he is ever going to know the truth and he has to know the truth after all is the only thing that is going to set him free in his own mind br br has created and delivered a sensitive thought provoking film that challenges the viewer by the mystery surrounding while forcing you to reflect upon your own concepts of what is in fact possible and as you never know for sure about until the denouement you are able to identify with powell seeing the situation from his point of view and trying to solve the right along with him creates an atmosphere of wonder and a real sense of being confronted with something that is truly unique as the story unfolds and you begin to realize that just may be what he says he is and in the context of the reality to which the film is it's an engrossing matter to try to wrap your mind around how do you react when all of the evidence is contrary to the physical limitations we've set for ourselves while at the heart of the film there is a depth of humanity that is evident not only in but in dr powell as well all of which makes for an extremely engaging and gripping drama br br as we've come to expect kevin spacey gives a brilliant performance as presenting his character from the inside out emotionally deep and physically convincing at the same time this is a unique individual and spacey brings him to life with care and the ability to share those moments that are particularly revealing which adds to the believability of the character and the credibility of the story itself for this film to work it is essential that we believe who and what is we do and it does spacey simply pulls it off it's a memorable performance from which a character that will stay with you for a long long time br br jeff bridges meanwhile emerges on equal with spacey making a very real person of dr powell it's a fairly straightforward role and the challenge for bridges was to take this very normal and ordinary character and make him unique in his own right which opposite the character of was no small task and again for this film to work it was necessary for bridges to rise to the occasion and with exceptional skill and being the professional that he is he succeeds without question bridges powell with an underlying complexity and is so giving in his performance that it makes the interaction between powell and vibrant and at times intense it's a of two of the finest actors in the business doing what they do best creating a dynamic that is alive and inspiring it's a great job by bridges who never attempts to steal the spotlight from which serves to raise the level of the film to an even higher notch br br the supporting cast includes mary rachel dr ajay dr vincent scott ferrell betty and williams ernie an entertaining emotionally involving film k is a on possibilities as well as an examination of the ever of the human condition it's a film that demands an open mind and those who are able to approach it on it's own terms and embrace it in the end it makes you realize just how real k is and it makes you appreciate journey and just how much we all share and have in common with those around us human or alien and it may just make you reflect upon your own journey where you've been and where you're going and that's the magic of the movies i rate this one 10 10 br br,positive
never have i seen a movie like this didn't plan on seeing it but it was worth the turn of the tv channel i am mostly a scifi movie watcher but i would be more than happy to add this one to my collection it starts out as a one sided film with a simple love triangle then became something a little different can't tell more then that but it does involve two guys and one girl not the way you would expect also this movie starred hugo from the matrix and the lord of the rings in a role i would not have expected very funny guy this movie is playing on here tv but if you do not have satellite it is worth a rent so give it a try you won't be disappointed,positive
demon wind is about as much fun as breaking your legs it is definitely an awful example of a film so awful in fact that i don't even consider it a movie i describe it more as a thing a monstrous thing a thing that must be stopped at all costs my friends and i first discovered this thing buried under a big box of video tapes at my friend's house it was a late night and we had nothing better to do so we decided to watch some cheesy horror movies we unfortunately picked this one well during the 90 minutes that this thing played we ended up laughing so hard that we almost threw up the thing is literally pointless in every sense of the word it's just a cheap poorly done rip off of evil dead the whole story seems to be nothing more than some guy wanting to knock off his friends by them to an abandoned house and letting demons rip them to pieces i have a bet that the writers were actually writing the story while it was being filmed i've seen bad horror movies before 2 hobgoblins i would have to say that demon wind could definitely with any and all of these films on terms of sheer stupidity watch it only if you enjoy laughing at stupid films br br fun fact this film is like a on much like the board every time we try to get rid of it it always seems to mysteriously kind of scary huh,negative
i first saw this on the big screen with my girlfriend it was a fun romp with some cool music was on the playboy cover and the as i recall she's really cute and and has lots of charm the movie made me want to see more of her and so i kept a look out for her in other stuff she's in steven spielberg's i wanna hold your hand and barbara the main event and bill plus lots of tv shows like night court and tv movies me and my friends really enjoy her but her starring role in alice in wonderland puts the focus right where it ought to be right on as the center of attention probably the girl i've ever seen in movies,positive

back when i was working person i remember having a really obnoxious client to deal with who insisted on making everything on a personal basis i was telling him things that my agency could do and could not do and he firmly believed i was personally out to do him out of what was rightfully his i swear but i was thinking of this guy as i watched john and clint eastwood in their battle of wits br br in the line of fire casts clint eastwood as a veteran secret service agent who was on the job in dallas as a young man when john f kennedy was he's had his doubts ever since and been given to drink and his life at one time was a real he's gotten back on the white house detail now and when a potential rats on her tenant to the secret service it's eastwood and partner dylan mcdermott who draw the case br br but the assassin is no ordinary case he's a professional at his job trained by and used by the central intelligence agency john earned a deserved academy award nomination for best supporting actor he lost that year to tommy lee jones for the fugitive and i'm not sure but that i thought was better br br oddly enough might have been better off but he saw eastwood as the agent in charge breaking into his apartment while on the job and he insisted on making the whole thing personal he calls eastwood throughout the film and him and after a while what says and does causes clint to get real personal br br the presidential we've had in our history have been lucky amateurs unless you believe in some of the conspiracy theories about some of the a guy like a professional with a real or imagined grudge is the most dangerous kind of br br others to note in the cast are fred dalton thompson as the white house chief of staff and would be president in real life russo as another agent who falls for the eastwood charm john as the secret service head gary cole as the white house head secret service guy gregory alan williams as another agent and jim and sally hughes as the president and first lady br br but when is on he owns in the line of fire the climax with him and eastwood is unforgettable,positive
the topic of religion in films is a point that one as an eater of films as an eater of art or as a person need to analyze hardly one can see to a satirical in la un or in is very hard and effective in its critic but when you have seen this and then you see a movie like after you see this work you begin to be about its author and much have about what seems to be a for thinks but is better not called in this way i think that there's not any in its work only that religion point of view is very diverse as unique in films br br this beautiful film is based on the novel of which told us the story of father who lived a humble simple life dedicated to god and to help everyone he lived in a simple and poor region there lived too who is an abused and abandoned wife she don't find any sense of her life without her violent macho man she have a kind of to him in the other side is one of the towns prostitutes father has been stolen again he blames to cousin hear this and try to fight without success with the priest who don't believe in violence that night find that her cousin is actually a thief she have stole her fights with her cousin with terrible consequences with this search mercy from the priest decides to help her knowing well that this could be against his church obviously this thing going to have some consequences since here going to be a without nothing even without shoes but with spirit and faith but and want to be with he and be like he to serve god br br if is the film that i have seen so far is too the most spiritual is clear here that the thing that most confuse people with the is that here we don't see a against the power of church we see a whose film is about church but not in the typical and great satirical way like it is i don't think that the right word is actually i find it pleasant and well done and in spite of contain such religious issues as his i found it more a spiritual film but that don't try to touch in diversity the catholic religion as maybe he touch and laugh of it in another films is of father and its perspective front god and the same religion but all of this is at the end in the spiritual life of this man br br the other two women are not a contrast but as very well another two perspectives of faith first we have the woman that lose all the faith in life first with her husband and then with a little girl who was in her family this little girl was very sick at side of her was too the prostitute who run of the justice in the family of the child just religious women there a big pain but faith becomes in father when he arrives with nothing to this town he bless the child a say later she is fine the priest want go on walking but and have the faith in life and want to their lives to god with father after some complains father decide to be with them discovering with some things until the end how he feels about faith god religion and the person in necessity the people who must request to charity to survive this last issue then must be noted as one possible explanation for the ending this ending we listen the drums similar to that in and a father walking over asking about this things when he refuse the fruit at the first time and at the end decide to receive it as a symbol of necessity or maybe as an answer for its spiritual road that begin being priest meanwhile the two women must take away of the father for its crime beautiful scene where she thanks a man who helps father in jail and then she damn the man who hit the priest in jail and because she prefer be with her macho man in spite that he treat her bad just because she don't accept that she fall in loved with the priest father and here is maybe the unique place in film to critic church walk to the church the religion that he serves br br father is that then is a soft for much but not for me critic for some thing in religion father helping a women who is guilty of a crime of a sin but most of all is one of analysis of faith and life and he really got it with a beautiful tender sweet and unforgettable film that is without a doubt one of his best br br sorry for the mistakes well if there any,positive

historically awful an accurate moment in 4 hours of one cannot keep track of the inconsistencies while watching as with all track and movies nobody bothers to ask for any track events and techniques that weren't even created until the next century are shown from the shots of in a 400 to the highly overweight actor portraying the high jump and long jump winner one would have to know absolutely nothing about track to even be mildly entertained likely thrown together in 1984 as a tribute to the games just prior to the la,negative

i've read a lot of reviews on the imdb well all five of the ones that have been written at the time that i'm writing this and i'm surprised at the amount of praise upon the which is undoubtedly one of the lesser comedies performed by the stooges i prefer the older ones where it was larry curly and moe although gets credit for most of the funny scenes in sing a song of six pants another stooges short which is only moderately amusing but far superior to indeed there is a single slightly amusing scene in the film the don't hit a lady scene which is barely amusing at all and is 15 minutes into the film not very promising in a 17 minute comedy br br is a voice whose uncle has passed away and left him an inheritance of 500 000 provided he get married within 48 hours which is short enough notice as it is but by the time learns about it he has only 7 hours left this is a premise that had been done and before but was not i don't think a massive cliché at the time this film was made as it is now there are a series of gags throughout the film none of which are even close to the level of comedy for which the three stooges are so widely known it seems that the stooges have run into the same troubles that plagued so many of shirley films – there is too little on content and too much just on the fact that they're there br br the standard characteristics of the stooges are here moe is the mean one whose is certainly not used in this film and the slapstick sound effects although with more exceptions than usual are fairly amusing but are into their standard in this film the line hold hands you is immortal the rest of the film is not br br there is much talk among the other people who have reviewed this movie for this site about this being one of the best of the stooges shorts that you won't find one weak moment about how this is their best since the early 30s shorts it's just not true i can certainly understand a level of automatic respect for classics and for the giants of early comedy which the three stooges certainly are but that respect is damaged when films are praised more than they should be the deserves some respect because it is a stooges film but for exactly the same reason it should have been better the three stooges were just better than this,negative
let me get this out of the way before i trash this film i love park chan work as a director while i disagree with the masses saying he's is the best director working in our time i can't deny that he understands how to use a camera very effectively i really liked one of his other films sympathy for mr vengeance also min acting was the only thing that allowed me to take this film seriously for 1 5 of the runtime that is br br now the bad the plot is simply the oldest cliché used in cinema literature i'll never understand how critics can trash a hollywood blockbuster for being cliché then movies like which are just as unoriginal and clichéd if not even more so regardless is flat out one of the most generic unoriginal movies ever conceived spoilers man is held captive man seeks revenge man finds out he had sex with a family member man's life is over end spoilers simply put this plot line has been used in everything from greek plays to modern melodramatic soap operas and countless movies books in between it is so melodramatic and unoriginal when the major reveal happens i laughed out loud does that mean i'm a freak without emotions as some reviews of this film say about people like me no what it means overdone plots make people laugh the scary movie franchise proved that and proved it as well why can't people think of something that is truly disturbing instead of just out tried clichés masked with fancy camera work and classical music that brings up the issue of blood gore simply put it isn't there the director is too to even point the camera at the screen when something gory happens as if we're watching a children's movie or something maybe we were anyway i've heard called the most brutal movie of all time and the most disturbing movie ever but when i watched it i failed to see anything even remotely gory or disturbing all the gore is off screen and even then the violence level is nothing you haven't seen in pg 13 movies like the dark knight or casino before why this even got an r rating me much less the most brutal movie of all time seriously i've seen movies that just make look cute on every level when it comes to violence gore br br the other huge glaring cheesy flaw is the main villain the majority of his screen time he's showing his bare butt off for the audience in comedic american pie style but i'm supposed to think he's oh so evil when he's wearing clothes his hair is back like a bad asian mix of the james bond villain mixed with something out of austin powers he talks like a brain dead teenager recovering from an acid and his dialogue is so bad it had me laughing yet again seriously had me laughing more than any comedy this year br br in the end is for those of you who fine wine have no sense of humor and talk about how boring your lives are at dinner parties it's for those people who are so stuck up in their own ego they forgot how unoriginal they are and consequently forgot how unoriginal and boring the films never movies they enjoy are br br to those people all i can say is this i like films and also like movies i like thoughtful dramas that actually say something about the human condition and i also like pointless action movies that thrill me into a coma but the thing is for me to like both films and movies they have to be original they have to be something i haven't seen so many times i lost count of the number of times the plot has been used when something isn't original it's if it does exactly what everyone else does it's forgettable and boring before you give yet another perfect rating because it touched you maybe you should think about something wouldn't a movie equally as touching but at the same time original make you think more i just wish someone other than me would understand this br br overall is forgettable and cheesy br br 1 10,negative

the decline series is amazing and director ps can't get enough credit for making these movies i'm slightly surprised to see that not very many people have seen this one or the other two but their worth if you want the picture of punk in the years between the late seventies and early eighties the film starts out with a collection of clips played over music from the band x many interviews with bands and that offer an perspective as to what surviving was like on the low of the mainstream rock ladder no internet crappy jobs and all out in this genre for new kids who haven't heard of these bands or are just starting one themselves this movie is a true lesson in how to rock all the band performances and there are many are awesome especially fear who never to me this and the second installment are amazing time offering those who care a rare glimpse into the lives of these crazy people it's true punk like in the interview with girlfriend when their a painter who mysteriously suddenly died outside their house and it took a week or so for them to figure it out they take pictures next to the guy and everyone including the had a chuckle on this one and in true form the asks the girlfriend if she was sad or upset that this guy had died while painting their house the response no i hate how about black flag renting their apartment rehearsal space for 16 dollars a month my jaw almost fell off at that moment seeing as i'm renting a ten by ten closet to practice in for 400 between watching this and i feel like i was born in the wrong time period just missing those cowboy days and nights of the old way the people and bands associated with the movie the way for what harder music today is and they did it in their own unique way brilliant film ten stars see part 2 as well its equally awesome part 3 though i don't know what to say about,positive

kramer vs kramer is the story of a marital and the consequences of same they can be devastating to the partners and even more so to a minor child which in this case is played by justin henry br br what i really did like about kramer vs kramer it's greatest strength as a film is the way that parents dustin hoffman and meryl streep are presented to the audience as whole people with many sides to their nature though the film is in direction and more about his relationship with his son he's not presented as any kind of saint nor is streep a completely black villain a career oriented man in the advertising game he's pretty much ignored his wife's dreams and aspirations still it's a big shock to him when streep says the no longer there and she wants out she also wants out of being a mother at least for a while br br hoffman and henry make do the best they can the pressure of being both parents causes hoffman to lose his job and he has to take a lower paying one in another agency at that point after over a year streep decides she wants custody br br both parents make compelling witnesses and state their case beautifully but in these situations the tie is always broken in favor of the mother br br dustin hoffman and meryl streep won their first of two oscars respectively for this film her in the supporting actress category i'm not sure how these things are decided streep does get less screen time than hoffman if that's the factor the film does focus on relationship with his son and his realization that he has his share of the blame for the marriage failure as for meryl it's a choice for her as it is for many women to balance a career and the conflict in her psyche for all to see on the screen br br dustin hoffman may have won that oscar partly for the same reason that spencer tracy picked up his first by performing the impossible task of not letting a scene stealing child steal the film children with their lack of are natural actors and henry is great because he comes over as a real kid not a hollywood kid i wonder if hoffman saw courageous and saw how spencer tracy dealt with dustin could have done a lot worse than channel spencer tracy in his performance br br kramer vs kramer also won oscars for best picture best director for robert and best adapted screenplay it's an intelligent and compelling drama about adults falling out of love and trying to deal as best they can with it for themselves and their child don't miss it if ever broadcast,positive
just got around to seeing monster man yesterday it had been a long wait and after lots of anticipation and build up i'm glad to say that it came through and met my expectations on every level true you really can't expect too much from hearing the plot but after reading some of the reviews for it i was i mean what trash fan wouldn't want to see a gore flick about a deranged people down with his make shift monster truck i went in expecting a cross between road trip and the hills have eyes and got so much more this was a horror comedy that actually worked the film makers got it right when it came to making you and making you with laughter at the same time kudos to michael davis for going all out with the gore and pushing the with the humor let me list just a few reasons why i love this movie so much first off is the story it's been done to death in so many other flicks a college guy gets wind that his childhood crush is getting married he being the 25 year old virgin that he is in his and decides to take the road trip to confess his love hoping that she will fall head over hills and all that good hidden in the of his station is good buddy is the former friend who laughs and talks just like jack black in high you can't help but like the guy but if he was your friend in real life you'd have to keep a ball bat handy laugh all you want but have you ever been hit with one to keep him in check so he's a little on the obnoxious side to say the least but you can tell that he's a loyal friend deep down anyway they're on the road and when they stop in a bar they the locals now they're being stalked by a clone in a monster truck that's it yeah along the way they pick up a gorgeous but i'm too lazy and to go into that right now so just watch the damn movie br br second thing i love was the humor this one had some of the laughs of any movie since cabin fever just how messed up is it well i won't even go into the whole cat scene and as for the corpse thing i'll leave that to your virgin eyes as well the bar full of was somewhat disturbing and that guy who looked like john bothered me too although a totally obnoxious frat boy type can really off the one liners love the by the way i need a new pair br br the gore this one it on heavy while the first hour plays out as a demented road comedy the last third is all about blood and guts if the movie hadn't kept such a light tone throughout it would have been a little disturbing but seeing how it was all played for laughs there is no way possible that you will be bothered by it if you're still in your seat by the time it comes you'll probably see the humor in it too but seriously there were and of the red stuff there was a big plot turn that i didn't see coming and when the credits rolled i was completely satisfied i had gotten exactly what i came for and i'm really glad that i bought it much like cabin fever it's going to get a lot of replay br br the look of the movie was outstanding there was this deliberately cheap look that made the whole thing scream late 80s and i loved the exaggerated colors it's obvious that monster man was done on a relatively low budget but much like cabin fever sorry i keep comparing the two it actually works in the movie's favor cabin fever was an to the 70s this was the 80s answer to that so take that for what it's worth no cgi here this is what we all needed i'm not exactly sure why it didn't get a theatrical release because this is everything that should have been thank god for lions gate,positive
no emotion bad music and i am a eighties metal guy so i would be vulnerable to some good stuff everything is half done the brother is a parody there is nothing to hold us in except to see what horror from the eighties they'll pull up next the tour manager tries to bring a humanity to the thing but isn't given enough time is okay and aniston is we know she didn't need the money is this the only role she could fit into her summer break surely she must slap her every time it pops up on which is only slightly less often than does it barely qualifies as a tv movie it's just hard to believe that it was actually released,negative
this movie has some of the worst acting i've ever seen dennis performance was high school caliber while it's difficult to portray an off the wall character like jerry lee lewis it can be done just ask jamie foxx although ray charles had more depth to his personality and than lewis ever of the phillips brothers portrayal in the dukes of hazzard and alec baldwin playing jimmy is a bit like donald duck performing shakespeare when robert duvall played a country preacher i bought it baldwin never made me believe a single word part was the best and she was mediocre and can anyone figure out how she was 13 when lewis met her and still 13 more than a year later some checking on the internet reveals the essential facts presented by the film were true at least no more up than most hollywood bio this film did badly at the box office and it should have,negative
this movie was by far the best ever i think whoever shot it with the hand held camera was a genius and the special effects were spectacular especially the chicken breast heart thank goodness this movie only cost me a dollar to rent also the green toxic was amazing i could have shot this movie with my friends in high school i would not recommend this movie to anyone you might want to kill yourself instead of watching it i also feel like this was a move for porn stars trying to make it into the legitimate movie business give it to her,negative
awful in a whole new way anything but love probably should be seen by movie buffs if only as a measure that proves all that can go wrong with a vanity production i am guessing a vanity production since there is no other reason on god's green earth to cast as talent free and not particularly attractive non singer actress as gold in the leading lady role for yet by the likes of like cameron and andrew mccarthy except that she also helped write this bizarre little movie her singing leaves much to be desired and yet unbelievable as it is all the other characters in the film think she's terrific there are a few moments here of actual charm or humor but very few otherwise this is a silly sad fiasco that from paint by numbers to paint by wrong numbers you know how it is when people look at a piece of modern art and someone says my kid could do better than that well this is a movie the likes of which your or anyone's kid might do better,negative
the film is not for everyone some might think the acting is bad when it is actually understated and natural there are no obviously evil acts and there are no stunningly beautiful moments there is a lot of an lot of feelings br br actually this film takes a very honest look at a very complex subject sex with it is complex because the characters are trying to deal with love and sex when her body and are still developing and both of their minds and personalities are still developing complex also because society has very simplistic views of sex with and complex because the characters don't know if society is right or if their instincts are right br br some will not like the movie because it leaves unanswered questions questions such as who was really in charge of the relationship who was damaged did good come out of it was it art who was damaged more did some of the problems with their relationship from it being forbidden by society did some of the problems from their own and probably most important was this truly a crime br br the film is neutral on all of this and it is this that is its strength it is the reason for the understated acting the simple sets the lack of background music soft lighting and the general flat presentation the message is clear we don't really understand this kind of relationship today and quick are bound to be shallow,positive
i have never really been interested in cannibal movies before and up until a couple of months ago i had avoided this genre of movie br br i recently had to surgery and found i had a lot of time on my hands as i was unable to work so i decided after seeing almost every horror movie our local video shop had to offer i would take a chance on this br br christ was it a mistake i have never seen a movie this bad in all my years of being a movie addict this is just a pile of s t to a d v d disc and sold as a horror movie br br i have a lot of respect to other horror fans who can switch their brains off long enough to enjoy this crap they are more brain dead than i ever will be and that is some achievement 0 10 and thats generous,negative
i first saw this film in video form even on a television screen the were impressive seen on the big screen in its full glory it must have blown people away br br as one or two other comments have pointed out the story of the early and how they got around the problems of etc on the road to is as authentic as any film can be it therefore shows that it is totally unnecessary to take liberties with the truth something that today's film makers should take of reality is enough br br the plot relies on the struggle of man against the elements and hostile natives subplots are few and simple but the basic plot is enough elsewhere i have reviewed rival to the big trail fighting in spite of having a more sophisticated plot and having better actors fighting lacks the breathtaking scenes br br the big trail should be viewing,positive
how do you describe perfection in the mood for love maggie cheung and tony practically dance on the screen and give stellar performances that stay with you hours after you've left the theatre every scene in the film with the powerful combination of superb cinematography and shot selection top notch acting and the sensual soundtrack king cole singing in french absolutely sets the tone for the whole movie maggie and tony look marvelous with maggie about in some truly glorious and tony always looking i've seen this movie several times already and i see it i find something new to rave about love it,positive
i don't understand the humor in this film i also found it offensive on how were depicted in that film despite how it is actually just a caricature of in those areas first the actors are japanese and they make the most rude expressions of in that film it me on how these people are expressed i felt anger just watching that one scene and how they were so badly made out in the film the humor lasts just for one laugh and then you don't understand why it's even funny it's crude humor with the most disgusting representation of society there i found it to be an offensive film overall maybe it was just because i never lived in the hood or saw any hood movies but i don't intend to either,negative
oh dear oh dear oh dear my lifetime was drastically wasted by this pile of stink i would rather chew off my arm than watch this film again painful story line painful characters and a painful two hours br br the best way of describing this movie is a follows i would rather stick in my eyes and cut out my brain than watch another minute of this tripe br br advice is to stay well clear and let your local do you a favour of this rubbish br br lin you told me this was good br br,negative
being in the of new york when the z boys were creating history in i was only exposed to a glimpse of what was going on i had a p o s black knight with clay it is long gone and on the ash heap of my personal life but i never forgot it's like watching long lost brothers and friends and it hits me right where i live i cannot watch this film enough every time i view it some other aspect rises to the top some other viewpoint come into sharp focus the vintage footage the incredible stills the current personalities with the vivid shadows of the lit past the heartfelt and not over done narrative all beautifully edited together in such a way as to make a landmark documentary of a genuine slice of american history in the words of it was f ing unbelievable,positive
excellent film featuring anthony wong that certainly lives up to it's title erotic but increasingly violent courtesy of dreams purchased from a crazed that rapidly turn into nightmares of some as the gets inside them to manipulate poor mr wong well filmed and very fast moving this is a non stop tale of serious magic power and corruption but also makes time for some fine sex scenes and some very bloody violence there is also just a little touch of humour now and again to catch you further off guard and the whole thing makes for a most 90 minutes or so excellent performances all round,positive
i only gave this film a 4 because i saw it in 3 d if you don't see it in 3 d i give it a 2 this movie is so bad it's not funny anyone can make a film like this for a weeks pay bad acting effects and story but it was cool to watch in 3d why can't they make good movies in the 3 d format,negative

the movie was a pleasure to watch if you are a fan of the stooges the story is told from the point of view of moe howard and his relationships with his brothers and curly howard also the life long friendship with larry fine the movie deals mostly with the off camera high points and pit falls of the stooges multi decade career the casting director and makeup artist did a fair job of finding actors who the famous ensemble the actor who plays curly howard did a fine job of portraying the on camera antics of the most beloved a must see for any fan of three stooges shorts,negative
as other posters have commented this was a very very bad movie keeping it kid friendly fx was low class they should of spent the 1 on a coke as is typical with these d movies most victims die and leave a mystery except for one lucky soul and of course the lead hope the money was worth it for really really big step down from 5 nice to see what happened to buck rogers but damn this was low even for him ' it was so bad and on the older actors you could even seem to tell that they thought it was bad also don't watch br br warning spoiler below br br this thing chased down everyone it was after and yet got away that was pure and the ending how in the hell did the kids end up right there with him that was just too much stupidity,negative
this is a fantastic film the acting is some of the best i've seen is obviously very beautiful and she automatically draws you into the film with her believable acting the the cinematography was extremely ahead of its time watching it i could see parallels of cinematography used today this is truly a groundbreaking film because of the cinematography and acting the audience can feel the change in tone from beginning to end as the tone in the environment in the movie changes it's a very touching and powerful piece my friend told me it was must see and i definitely agree with her this is one of those films that you watch and never forget everyone should see this intensely moving film this should be put on everyone's movies to see before whatever list,positive
why did they have to make such a dreadful adaptation the whole complete jane austin series as a part of masterpiece classics looks like a huge disappointment characters are totally miscast and there's no chemistry on the screen the whole thing feels rather rushed the 1999 movie release based on the same novel seems like a masterpiece compared to this i really want to forget it i'm really happy though that pride and prejudice won't be re made as part of this project and we will see the iconic and magnificent colin and jennifer as protagonists if you this park production consider yourself lucky,negative
ok please believe me when i say that this is a terrible terrible sci fi movie its done so poorly that much of the film plays out as unintentional and its absolutely a 100 waste of time awful but somehow also deeply unfunny i watched this as a double feature with the massacre and although was an incredibly superior film that's not saying much the plot of is so completely convoluted that its impossible to follow the narration is often nonsensical seemingly endless and thoroughly literally half the film is scenes of the female lead who looks like brian walking through the desert the movie actually starts out pretty cool but then into and somehow continues to minute by minute absolutely horrible and truly an test zero stars reviews by,negative
a frustrating documentary louis son who saw his father only during his childhood because he was a member of just one of the three separate families his father had created takes on the task of trying to learn more about his father through an exploration of his architecture and his life it sounds like a great idea for a documentary but it ends up flat and uninteresting br br sadly the basic problem is that son is not just one of the film's protagonists he is also director writer producer and narrator seems both too inexperienced and possibly too close to the material to function well in any of these roles further while he seems like a nice enough guy he doesn't have much screen presence so the fact that he is the only constant in the film becomes wearing br br also comes across as an and amateurish there are several points where an makes an interesting or provocative statement and the camera cuts to a shot of offering little more than a blank stare and a sort of uh huh as if he's a little that he's going to have to come up with something to say in response at times i felt embarrassed watching people who might have had truly interesting things to say about or at least better things to do with their time seeming to realize that they were in the hands of an who was going to rely on them to direct the conversation br br role as both and lost son seem to do more to hurt the film than help one senses that some of the are a little reluctant to really open up about negative aspects of personality and career presumably because it's not clear from whether he's looking to dig into the truth or simply wants to hear nice stories about his dad preferably ones that will confirm his hope that his dad really did care more for and his mother than seems likely his passive approach as an may directly from this conflict the only person does push is his own mother but those conversations tend to feel a little like bad teen drama aren't you angry mom and don't offer much in terms of helping us or understand or the loyalty he from those around him br br what the film desperately lacks is by an experienced and independent hand not to but to balance his and an independent director could have stood away from the material given more thought to what the could contribute and one hopes cut out those portions of the documentary process that just don't work such as the weird segment with the guy who claims to have see die which made it look as if was just being taken in by some loony or the entire bit about up with first cousin who had nothing to add about or too many times makes us watch him standing in or near a building strangers to tell them that his father was the designer huh nice sir gotta go now i understand why these things might be important to and that showing the documentary process is sometimes interesting but this is one of those examples of when a documentary can be too personal br br as an aside i thought the score written for the film was great but one of the moments in the entire thing for me was when during the tour of the art museum the voice over quotes as making a comparison between architecture and fifth the music being played at the same time a mistake a who knows it did make me laugh br br was a great architect and it's clear that he was an unusual human being and had an intriguing life story there's definitely a good documentary to be made about him one is sympathetic to search for the father he didn't know but i'm not sure whether that is an interesting story neither works so well in this film,negative
this was a very good show i enjoyed the construction of real time and flashback seeing the old meeting again and the of their in camp the main problem with the way the show was written is that the scenes of life in are more like a holiday camp than what the place must have been like i am old enough to remember film footage of the men being from and other japanese camps no actor could lose enough weight to have a resemblance of the state of those men they made the jews of look like i have met several veterans from over the years many would never ride in a japanese car let alone own one the physical and mental torture those men endured was too horrific for them to even talk about what survived john doyle might be ok writing comedy for roy and i hate that too but this is a serious sugar of history that should never have been i'm happy for to write the life of brian and make fun of the because it is obviously comedy even if some consider it to be in bad taste is written as a portrayal of a real event and as such might be regarded by younger people as a true record great performances by a fine cast cannot redeem this lightweight screenplay,negative
i remember when had it's in the 70s i my parents for money to by a second hand from a friend it was a piece of junk complete with clay and everything i also remember reading magazine and being both completely impressed and totally terrified of the crew never became a way of life for me but in some ways it has always been a part of my life whether it is using a board for or just having a bunch of friends that br br this film is a brilliant documentary of the real birth of modern day watching this crew turn from the flat boring it was into the lifestyle it has become had me sitting slack for 90 minutes br br it's amazing that enough footage from this period still exists to have created this film and thank god for that the footage is brilliant it gave me the feeling of watching an old buster keaton film i've seen some of the tricks keaton did repeated countless times in other films since then but when you go back and see the first person to perform that trick it's amazing that not only were they the first person to try it successfully but that they lived through it and made it seem that's the feeling this film gave me yeah i've seen people before but to watch the first people and the tricks that eventually became the of modern is like watching the of the house fall on keaton leaving him standing safely in the frame of a window it's absolutely brilliant to watch something that up until that point had never been tried before but since has been tried by almost everyone br br this film is beautiful to watch and incredible to listen to the soundtrack is one of the best i've ever heard in a film this is a film that will appeal to people whether they like or not i've talked to a couple of friends of mine who made their girlfriends sit through this film after heavy protest and they all said that their girlfriends were by the end of the film and loved it as much as they did br br as for the previous comments on this board that complain about the film being too self i think that's an unfair i liked seeing these guys get excited about their past they created something that influenced their sport and changed it forever they have the right to pat themselves on the back they were stars for doing what they loved to do most of these guys girls never achieved the success tony enjoys today but that kind of success wasn't available to then sure they had some success but more importantly they have been able to live a life doing what they love to do and as we see in the end almost all of them still surf or work in the surf industry how many of us can say that we have been able to live our lives and have been successful by breaking all the rules and doing what we love to do they can my off to the and z boys for being themselves and changing the world of forever,positive

ants are shown in cartoons as being able to carry away chicken legs people etc this may be an admirable characteristic because ants carry the film phase iv this is not because they want to but because they have to br br the movie opens with a narrator explaining that some event has come over the earth and that a fellow scientist has been working on the effect this has on the population the movie is broken up in segments the first part after the event is phase i and so on until the end of the movie which is phase iv br br what is phase iv who knows we don't get to see that part presumably it has something to do with the bonding of one of the scientists studying the ants and a girl who lived in the area the girl who looks like a cross between alicia and tyler is mad at the ants because they killed her horse but except for one angry goes around the with a blank clueless look br br these ants are pretty smart or the scientists are rather dumb i'll give credit to the ants why anything that usually ruins my that can then build towers blow up and to poison with the greatest of ease gets my vote for being the smarter species at least in this movie br br says on this br br,negative
i was really looking forward to watching this film it had all the ingredients of a great tongue in but it just didn't come together at all kevin accent was tolerable except that sometimes he forgot to use it and i would rather not have had to listen to linda pale attempt she and helen were totally lacking in charm and personality thankfully their screen kids had loads so you could find at least some members of his 2 families endearing you could have strained spaghetti with the plot and i'm sure that the script was written by some adolescent in a high school english competition that said when i wasn't cringing i was so it wasn't a totally wasted 90 minutes i did find the of face on the painting very clever and quite funny maybe i'm being a bit harsh but i was expecting a bit of quality viewing and it just never came,negative
sorry this was a excuse for a film a plot line so it a block of swiss cheese and a butch of characters who seemed to me to be utterly devoid of inter personal relations well except of course for and lee miller who i could have were meant to be in love unlike the union of tyler and miller who were for the most part like the rest of the film utterly unconvincing although the end product was and amusing for all the wrong reasons the production values were high and deserve some but unfortunately the end result was rubbish what was everyone involved thinking they definitely should have packed up early on this one,negative

i wonder if i could take sitting through a whole musical comedy from russia or east germany or other countries that for decades put out almost always film anti fascist films anti war films as this documentary points out that just reflected the dark times under and life behind the iron curtain it's fascinating then to see the other side of the the sorts of and rebels with music at their side to try and please the masses more often than not stuck in the walk of life one film actually seemed rather impressive called jolly by the of the very small group of musical filmmakers from the clip s i saw of that film i'd that it was one of the only works to actually step out of itself and go into just wild manic make you laugh kind of mode but as this film shows if you were a filmmaker looking to entertain it better be with a br br through interviews some occasional quasi of russia germany sort of motion picture association at the censorship table and clips one gets the full picture of what it was like both behind the scenes and on the screen to just make sheer entertainment for the masses some of the films well most of them as apparently only 14 screened over 40 years in the countries mentioned made a good of change but for what purpose really one also gets drawn into the culture of it all how it greatly from the american way of it works make em while they're attitude but at the same time perhaps out of this some interesting funny and from what i saw up beat films were made they been fairly typical of what was asked to be shown to the masses under fond but demanding terms like life with it gets to be even a story though as we get shown what it was like in the 60's the last wave of musical comedies as rock and roll and pop tunes finally hit their br br in short some good stuff but only if interested really i was shown the film in a class on documentary films and half the class fell asleep so be warned on the one hand though on the other if looking for it it can make for a really rewarding trip into european film history,positive
i went to see this movie today with hopes that it would involve an at least half intelligent story i was extremely disappointed as it did not the plot and the decisions by the main character were so far fetched i was hoping for a dog day afternoon type movie but instead got something totally i actually found myself totally hoping for the hero to be knocked off and i nearly walked out of the theater on several occasions when this should have happened but didn't heist movies are to be feel good flicks and this one tried to be just that every couple of minutes during the second half of the movie i found myself saying no way without giving the whole story away it around an car guard who was down and out and whose house was going into he was invited in on a heist and accepted only to back down once the action began weak,negative

bears about as much resemblance to dean novel as jessica simpson does to a rocket scientist if you've read the book i suggest you put it as far out of your mind as possible before watching the movie br br is your typical boy meets dog dog turns out to be super intelligent government lab experiment dog and boy are pursued by super intelligent and emotionally disturbed monster created by same lab and oh yeah did i mention the shady government agents pursuing the monster pursuing the dog movie br br corey is the boy barbara williams is his mother michael is one of the evil government guys and sandy the dog is well the dog named here einstein in the book br br the monster effects are ridiculously cheesy much of the dialogue is laughable the script rarely makes sense or is believable a good example is character's acceptance of the intelligence as if every fido off the street can type messages on a computer keyboard or once for yes and twice for no hmm it's gotta be the puppy right performance is enthusiastic but shaky as he carries off the stupid dialogue with the least amount of skill has been the highlight of many a bad movie and this is no exception he easily gives the best performance of the movie although i'm compelled to add that the dog who's a pretty darn good actor himself comes in a close second br br all in all an dumb movie and yet and yet i watched it three times within a week and yet i can't help liking it hey what can i say i have a taste for junk and michael not that i've ever actually michael i'm sure there are laws against that but any movie that can make me laugh that hard yes even unintentionally can't be all bad it up to a guilty pleasure a yes i know it's stupid but i like it anyway movie br br it's tough for me to rate this on a normal scale i'm forced to give it a d but on my own personal cheese scale it gets up to an a br br yeah i know i'm weird like that,positive
i'm to being patient with films because i've generally found it usually pays off but a few works take tedium to new levels and enter the realm of last year at comes to mind well x ain't no last year at i can count on one hand the number of films i've walked out on over the years x achieved in that august group in my defense i believe i made a effort to stand my ground hoping things would turn around however i finally threw in the just shy of the 90 minute mark quite respectable under the circumstances x does not come anywhere near living up to the promise of earlier work after a 10 year that must have been bitter for him indeed is still spinning in his grave,negative
the snow queen is based on the famous and very beautiful fairytale by hans christian about a girl who goes on a dangerous journey to rescue her friend from the of the snow queen this adaption attempts to capture that story's sense of adventure and intricate imagery through lavish sets and production design but fails on a number of counts br br like so many hallmark productions the potential of the story is completely by heavy handed scripting and direction the two actors playing and are pleasant but forgettable bridget fonda as the snow queen looks the part but is otherwise miscast for the role there's a notable lack of dramatic tension to this meandering three hour miniseries at least some of the pacing problems can be attributed to the addition of filler scenes that add very little to the original story particularly in the opening hour that introduces the main characters br br that said the snow queen would be just about ideal for pre teens with a liking for fantasy and a bit of patience it's great eye candy without being scary and the acting is pitched at the sort of over the top level that spells out the storyline in very very bold text just make sure you read them story too,negative
this 1959 soap opera film takes us into the lives and loves of three young women in the world as this follows the same idea as three in a a few years before this takes place in new york while takes place in rome italy our three are hope lange in her first starring role parker and diane baker lange does well and holds her own opposite some strong veterans in the business namely joan crawford plays an obsessive woman who has a hard time losing her beau hard to believe that anyone could reject this beauty for any reason but louis her heart does just this sort of takes you back to paul the gorgeous taylor in cat on a hot tin roof doesn't it diane baker the third damsel in distress meets and dates robert evans before he became the producer and husband to ali he is known for boyfriend from home played by newcomer brett is promising to marry her she also meets stephen a fellow worker who has interests in our hope all three ladies have their drama ahead of them crawford almost steals the film her presence and her usual strong bitchy self is fun to watch veteran actor brian plays one of the bosses with a for our leading back side he's delightfully charming also in the cast is martha wasted in a role never really explored too bad as i like this actress who never seems to get that one role to her abilities she has a crush on a married man in the office played by donald harron whom i had the pleasure to work with in a couple of shakespeare plays in nyc he is a distinguished actor that is wasted in this film also br br all in all it's great fun in technicolor and directed by jean,positive
the other lowest rating reviewers have summed up this so perfectly there seems little to add i must stress that i've only had the cockney filth on me during visits from my children who insist on watching the sunday my god it's depressing like all it consists entirely of totally unlikeable characters being unpleasant to each other but it's ten times as bad as the next worst one could be the reviewer who the to by its was spot on if anyone lived in a social environment like this they'd slash their within days and i can assure anyone not familiar with the real east end that it's rather more than you'll ever see here take my advice avoid this of the british tv industry it is evil,negative
is a great film that is overlooked it's a crime drama where a man gets out of jail and plans another job it's an over used story but this one is different from the others they round up the usual suspects for the job this film takes a look at how the family gets torn apart as time goes on the actual heist scene is one of the best i have ever seen instead of a suspenseful soundtrack the director decided to go with silence around thirty minutes of silence this fits the mood perfectly and is often copied these days of course things get out of hand and people die and it ends in a great ending that builds up in suspense br br so if you're looking for a great film noir that not a lot of people talk about this is a great pick up,positive
what a ridiculous waste of time and money this movie was the biggest loser of the year all the hype was a warning i am disappointed for julia roberts by far she is the most talented cast member i think her ability to truly act carried the film the buddy buddy boys club was a little too phony and to add insult to injury why bother to cast catherine zeta jones she only has the ability to ruin a film she lacks the ability to have on screen chemistry with anyone not to mention she lacks the ability to act she lacks chemistry with the other characters kind of reminiscent of america's she made the this movie is headed nowhere what a shame please please don't tell me 13 is on the way,negative
although normally my is not for romantic dramas seeing this film left me a little short br br it had promise the characters and relationships could have been explored much deeper than they did yet the story seemed not to understand the direction it wanted to take br br the and parallels within the story especially the three generations of women in the family had a lot of potential but somehow didn't fully itself it could have made the film much easier to relate to and to which is the aim of any film about lost love and life br br imho i think the film suffered from a lack of direction in the writing although harry and sandra did try to breath a little life into otherwise flat character br br it's not that this is a bad film some parts leave you understanding the reasons for various plot developments its just that this film is and a little flat overall,negative
another movie from swedish country which is always the northern part if black people were shown this way there would be shouts about racism and for good reasons br br this is a farce and you are supposed to laugh at the clever farce clichés but it's mostly tiresome a gangster comedy with the bad russians as always and the bad and stupid and most stupid of all is of course the norwegian according to prejudice br br wilson is the only one who tries to make a performance reminding us of reality this is not funny this is not even exciting a too raw to make you interested in any way,negative

spoilers ahead my late childhood had two cinematographic icons star wars and this film by czech genius a jules where century come to life in exquisite black and white photography combined with stop motion and conventional animation spirit of adventure is fully present throughout the film as well as a very modern questioning on the moral limits of power and advanced technology in fact it brings atomic energy into universe in a very and elegant way also and elegant is the demise of the villain with a probably nuclear explosion sending his hat flying over the sea the resolution of the film is symbolic and very satisfactory something very rare today when a lot of films don't seem to know how to end themselves br br i was fortunate to catch this gem in reruns on local tv in the late 70s it enhanced my enjoyment of fiction and of cinema br br 10 out of 10 for under appreciated master of imagination,positive
this movie and its subsequent tv series has become the iconic stand in for what is great about america br br fame is famous for its music and performances there are several including irene paul anne and the superb gene anthony ray the latter who plays a walk on dancer with no academic or other than street is an amazing personality and is worth watching for what is essentially a portrayal of himself a to behold as one king was apt to say br br the plot follows an interesting format at times genre at other times personalities in some cases but it all really ends in a kind of br br where parker succeeds is in pushing this movie into with the extremely poignant and sometimes beautiful and outright campy music score that matches the performers step for step br br the climax of the film is a climax for all times and this climatic complete cast of many many talented musicians and dancers and music is thankfully repeated throughout the credits these are one set of credits that are well worth sitting through an achievement for the ages the music by christopher gore is a gift to behold,positive
i bought this movie because of welch she was gorgeous in this film as she played the role of harry mike wagner girl friend harry a down on his luck trying to make one more heist harry goes to a funeral where he meets de and takes him for a ride when things don't work out on the ride they put there mines together to figure out the way to get money harry and his gang decide with the help of de to from there on mob rest a sure that no matter what the gang goes after that the outcome is never the same and will keep you on the edge of your sit the rest of the out come you need to watch for yourself as far as goes if you're a fan of here then you need to watch this movie because she never looked better standing on the beach with a on i give this movie 10 stars on welch body alone it's no wonder why she was the actress back in the sixties she was the sex symbol everyone one wanted and no one could get not only does she look good she can act even better if you like welch then you'll like this movie,positive

i watched this series after the for which i gave 10 10 grade i had read user comments on this and i expected an equally good series or if possible even better at this point i must emphasize that this series is good and it definitely captured me throughout it and thus worth watching however i didn't enjoy it as much as the for the following reasons br br 1 less passion love and related sexual content there were surprisingly little emphasis in these elements which i held integral for a love story felt like a watered down version of the br br 2 similarly as in the the story had three parts the beginning a shocking second part and the ending the second part should have been the climax of the story as in the but instead it was almost totally perhaps due to inability to make shocking but believable asylum content the series should have been in three parts featuring two with a lot more focus on the second part br br 3 almost no weight was given to what were and how it affected their personalities i found it rather annoying that the series did not properly address such central topic br br 4 the ending was much more than in the left several interesting plot lines open br br despite these shortcomings is a good series and well worth 7 10 however it is not a classic like the,positive
there's something rotten about this film and basically the way it turns a sinister and twisted character into a hero by our sympathy with his admittedly horrible situation like many who have lost hope chooses suicide the fact that he has been it for more than 26 years probably makes his condition worse but the belief that we should do whatever anyone asks even if it means ending a life is in my opinion profoundly wrong what a contrast to the uplifting example of the scientist stephen who suffered a far worse condition for far longer yet with the morals upside down the film in hero worship and the people who disagree with are painted in simplistic idiotic terms there's little room for subtly especially in the encounter with the priest deliberately the real life encounter which was with a much younger priest in that way i suppose the film is on a par with triumph of the will the idea is that everyone should have to right to take their life when they feel they cannot live it anymore it makes no difference whether you are physically or psychologically damaged there are people evidently who believe you have the right to choose the same people are likely to make a case for abortion its all part of the current trend to get the suffering or out of sight brush it under the carpet will say its ok and we all feel very happy with ourselves so we go down the path of believing that some lives just ain't worth living and then we'll decide that as some people can't really decide for themselves then we'll bring in the state to decide for them enter hitler straight from that other oscar der hitler of course believes that he carrying out exactly what nature does in of the weak under his regime there were forced among the weaker the mentally handicapped were quietly put away and the jews were by using gas he would have this film and why not for it is in line with his philosophy some lives are just not worth living i from hitler and all the people involved with making this film human life is sacred it is not a right it is a gift and an nobody chooses to be born then who can choose death its not about religion its about protecting the weak and helpless something this film does a lot to,negative

this is definitely the worst vampire flicks of all times i started to watch this right after interview with the vampire and i was thoroughly disappointed not only did this movie's script have as big as the grand canyon the movie seemed to jump from one scene to another leaving the viewers thoroughly puzzled the vampire played by stuart was terrible having a good body does not make you an actor the end of the queen was too easy and sudden insulting the viewers intelligence i'll give this one star because actually tried her best in this movie and the soundtrack is pretty good other than that i would advice anne rice to take an and start those who destroyed her brilliant story,negative
the surprisingly are a big favorite of mine yes they might have been the original rock band a gimmick that certainly has reached in the 21st century however their music holds up as some of the best the 1960's had to offer last train to believer i'm a believer i'm not your stepping stone and pleasant valley sunday are great songs written by good such as hart neil diamond king and john stewart while they weren't great musicians or they had a likable screen presence and plenty of appeal and some of their own stuff was actually decent their t v show is dated stuff in 2007 but i still watch the show on occasion as a time capsule to life in 1966 1968 that magical and dangerous time in u s history br br however as we all know as a of things to come for the likes of kelly the didn't want to be considered and just puppets for their recording company despite their average talents they wanted to write their own songs produce their own albums and call the shots when it came to sadly this turned out to be a disaster especially when peter choice of as an opening act was due to his stealing of the show and heavy sexual in his music compared to the g rated content br br however the final nail in the coffin for the until 1986 was the infamous motion picture head head was written by bob and jack nicholson while they were allegedly high on the mary jane the film received poor reviews and only made 16 000 in the box office today the film is a cult classic ahead of its time and delivers a message of what was on the minds of the youth in 1968 the summer of anger br br head really has no plot basically one to four of the from scene to scene without any rhyme or reason they go from eating in a diner to seeing jones getting by sonny to a western to being sucked into a to performing at a concert and so forth the film basically offers up opinions of what was wrong with american society the bash the war in vietnam american policy censorship the establishment and greed you have to read between the lines to see what the targets of were br br the spend a lot of time up at certain of the film how they felt their record company saw them as nothing but toys for them to play with when it was time to record another hit album a scene where they are 16 4 in the western scene could be a symbol of them against the session musicians record producers and who controlled their careers and the cannon they fire at them is their way of saying br br the film is truly a psychedelic trip to behold the flashy tie colors the hypnotic concert and belly dancing scenes and the imagery is everywhere the acting is actually very good but that's being biased as i like the t v show a small soundtrack features the song and three songs written by the themselves br br the film actually has some hilarious scenes on occasion although maybe they weren't supposed to be mickey beating up a coke machine that didn't give him a or his violent punch ups in the boxing scene i mean he was a guy who probably no more than had me laughing it up br br all in all this movie is an absolute must see for any fan i think a lot of people will feel this movie is indeed over their head but for those obsessed with the 60's and society at the time will find it a great time capsule,positive
i never figured out what the attraction of karen black was she always had those eyes and kind of an odd look about her she seemed to often be eccentric or cast as the other woman in this one she is the psychic and expert on the occult to a crummy producer of bad commercials as he learns projection he is a mean sucker even without the new apparently this is the to because if you get good at it you can inhabit the bodies of future generations i believe star trek had a plot like this with jack the hanging on for several centuries anyway this guy is really dangerous he has a nice family and makes them miserable he begins to murder friends just because they have an comment for them or he doesn't like them you can see the ending coming from the back row in left field it's a very harsh movie most of it must be taken as truth why are some called but few chosen i found it long and not very satisfying,negative
first off the initial concept of a lost fortune in gold bars discovered in a new zealand lake inside a world war 2 plane is a great opening what follows is nothing but cartoon like drivel men chasing men cars chasing men chasing men chasing chasing for the better part of an hour the most boring nonsense with absolutely no to the story special mention must be made of the chop shop editing as many scenes seem to have been spliced together in random order the acting by all concerned is an embarrassment one last thing the picture quality and sound quality is so bad on this dvd that you will be appalled,negative

i still can't describe what to feel when i received this by the site such a rare movie so little spoken and known is difficult to find even to fans but the contrast past and present is devastating now i hold a dvd of the movie with the finest quality possible as i did in atlantis the other rare movie i bought by the internet i saw this one at home with all the lights of my dvd and tv turned off and at the experience i didn't know what to expect i always searched some kind of disappointment when i saw a film by luc i never had seen before but it never came this movie was no exception from the start i understood that the person who makes a film like this as a first feature is destined to be big in the future and so it happened this won several including the highest prize in a film festival of my country which makes me proud and it shows that this movie is many bigger things this may be the most original after the war movie i have ever seen beating mad max in originality and artistic feel there is not a problem with this movie its cinematography is genius as well the of the actors i am also proud to say that finally i saw all the movies of my favorite director and have a copy of almost all of them joan of arc is still waiting for me to buy the dvd this movie is most of all a work of style and dedication which makes clear why luc is a director of my choice good taste beautiful framing excellent use of music i also at eric first feature length score and the promise of great achievements did well to bet in its boy genius the man who would later change the face of and relation between movies and their public let's hope starts working in a new directorial project i will be the first to cheer it until then i recommend this movie to anyone who need to learn a lesson of how good movies are made with little money i loved the atmosphere of the movie which by its black and white cinematography suggests us an even more depressed view of the world after the holocaust this movie works by the sheer magic of movies showing in pictures what we can't explain by words and i'm with all the people who wrote comments to this movie and liked it good choice a great hug to everyone who sees this and feels that a little of their lives were changed,positive

the memory daughter in the form of a novel by kim was a highly successful and probably was featured in more reading groups than any other novel during its so what happened when the novel became a made for television movie perhaps it is the below mediocre screenplay by john that consistently along in an awkward pedestrian fashion all sense of credibility to the story perhaps it is the cut and direction by mick jackson that misses the pacing and character perhaps it suffers from the cinematography of an uncredited source or the musical score by daniel for whatever of these or all of these reasons this novel to film survives because it does make a good case for the public about the of those born with down syndrome and for that it is worthy of attention br br dr david henry a successful doctor is married to the beautiful gretchen mol and their lives are becoming changed by their on a winter night in kentucky goes into labor and the rush to a nearby clinic where david delivers his wife the doctor is caught in a with the assistance of his old friend nurse caroline emily watson after the delivery of a perfect boy child paul continues to be in labor and surprisingly delivers an unexpected twin girl david and caroline immediately recognize that the little girl is a this is before the use of the term down syndrome and david having a history of losing a little sister because of a birth decides to send to an asylum for the mentally challenged caroline is to make the delivery and is told the second twin died at birth br br caroline follows sees the conditions of the where is to be in horror and decides to keep the child aided by a friendly caroline changes her existence and mothers finding a new life in her insists on a funeral for a fact that deeply david's psyche and the life goes on with only the one child paul leaving pains about the lack of presence gifts david with a camera lives are like a camera that's where they live in a room captured by a and david becomes obsessed with photography drinks and loses david's attention while david existence with caroline sending money and letters to paul tyler to jamie grows up discovers his mother's and is about his father's lack of communication and understanding and decides to fulfill his goal of becoming a musician and off to he goes meanwhile hope has into a very highly adapted young girl and the manner in which the broken marriage of the happens and the healing atmosphere of and paul's lives coupled with the courage that has supported caroline struggle to gain acceptance in the world for those born with down syndrome forms the conclusion of the film br br the cast of well known actors tries hard but only emily watson is able to a credible character from this script jamie gives evidence of a young actor with much promise and gretchen find it difficult to mold characters form the corny lines they are given to deliver the film is a mess but the message about acceptance of down syndrome children and adults is an important one grady,negative
it comes as no surprise that was married to who would later direct the most harrowing war film ever made and see 1985 ' 'the 1977 ' – final completed film before a death – is built in very much the same set during wwii the film follows a pair of soviet who try to secure food for their starving army while the german forces the first forty minutes are tense as the two men drag themselves though the harsh snow covered landscape the world around them completely of life warmth and colour indeed so drab is the scenery that it literally took me this long to realise that the film was shot in black and white br br following the capture by german soldiers the film becomes a cold on loyalty and morality whereas boris refuses to his army even under extreme the less attempts to save himself is he wrong to do so betrayal is but the film doesn't immediately his actions are instead the viewer is forced to consider what their own response might be in such a situation as the bible both men betrayed their allies to the enemy and were forced to watch them executed however whereas committed suicide by hanging at least according to of matthew finds even that option closed to him – in an excruciatingly taut climax the belt around his neck becomes br br 'the draws its emotional power from astonishing pursuit of realism i have no doubt that the two principal actors spent days on end across the snow covered earth on their hands and knees and indeed so convincing is their misery that i actually developed a cold while watching the film seriously i did interestingly the film on this reality on several occasions as himself making a for freedom and then being down by his german this device though unusual works well with its biblical allegory is facing a trial of his and faced with a new dilemma at every turn he consistently chooses the selfish alternative his own life the only deciding at film's end he is still alive but the nightmare of war and guilt,positive

what is it about drug addiction that so draws first time filmmakers to offer their own take on the subject this subject has been done to death drug abuse is bad we get it drug addiction is painful to watch we get that too but the bleak subject matter doesn't give the filmmaker license to make a sloppy film every film need not be masterpiece of cinematic excellence or use orson deep focus but it's still a narrative movie does not mean pseudo documentary even mini cameras are capable of producing white whites and black blacks and this filmmaker is just being lazy by shooting no contrast scenes with existing lighting the subject is bleak enough without forcing it with sloppy cinematography and even documentary films have a sound mix vera is very talented given the right material but the director obviously over directed her and sucked all the life out of her performance may live in a fog but they still have emotions but none of these characters seem to exist off screen the supporting players merely delivered their lines without creating real people sorry to be so harsh debra but some things are true whether want to believe them or not i'm sure your next film will be better but please not another drug movie,negative

i saw this movie last night at the film festival it was an interesting and funny movie that had some endearing and moving scenes peter falk was excellent as was the rest of cast they were believable and played their roles well the movie may have gone a bit long and the conclusion was okay the audience laughed at the right places the family dynamics were terrific and though this was a jewish family they could have been italian irish or any other including greek i recommend this film if you are interested in laughing at a subject that isn't often handled that way makes you think about the of your actions and how they affect others in your life and those who are not clearly in your life,positive
you can read all kinds of references into the world of a futuristic world populated by self indulgent morons fed by the technology of a era this idea has its in h g the time machine and brave new world amongst other br br early in the film a narrator explains the quick of humanity over five hundred years but does not fill in the gaps of where all the futuristic technology came from in the meanwhile most of the criticism of this very fun and funny film seems to surround this and the resulting complaint that the world isn't realistic as if realism has ever been a necessary quality of satire is brazil realistic how about or hell how about travels i thought not while maybe not as pointed as the best of the genre hits the same notes and generally does so successfully br br besides i didn't find the futuristic technology to be a problem it is pretty easy to figure out that mike judge is the current trend toward and simple product so that even total idiots can use them as in brave new world the society in the film seems to have reached a point of self at some point in the past apparently created by the now in order to an increasingly stupid leaving the remainder of humanity free to all the worst most selfish they can come up with and grow even the film just happens to take place during the last gasp of humanity as everything begins to fall apart for good it may still be unrealistic but if so it's a remarkably well presented brand of br br the stupid people take up most of the screen time of course but they're just the victims they don't know any better mike judge saves his real hate for the intelligent people in power who are dead by the time the film begins but who are very much alive right now in the 21st century people like scientists who chase hair growth and prolonged for no other reason than the possibility that they'll turn a profit on their snake oil people like politicians who let simply purchase the and people like media executives and their stooges who promote stupidity who the destruction of all culture morality and health to make a quick buck br br after all who is really to blame the or the the paris of the world or the brilliant executives and that put her on tv and our cultural standards enough to leave her there this is all in though a line here a hint there witness the hilarious auto doctor which literally does all the work in the health care system it's one of the few aspects of the movie that's not into the ground by the unnecessary narrator it's just there for the viewer to pick up or not but it is one of the most interesting themes in a movie that's much smarter than any other comedy of the year br br pity that so many people will leave the film thinking it's just an excuse to show rear ends and people being hit in the not that that stuff isn't funny too and maybe it is a little but in it's just not as simple as it seems,positive
as roger corman has said in an interview low budget film making film makers to take chances on offbeat ideas well you'd be hard pressed to find a film that on the offbeat as as george death bed the bed that eats br br the film does have a back story to it and it's an interesting one at that i'll any sort of details so you can hear them for yourself if you take a chance on watching it suffice it to say the title item of furniture has an the with a yellow that its victims like acid br br death bed is an eerie haunting little flick that plays out its absurd premise in such a way that it the usual assortment of schlock fare it its particular dream world in such a way that it was possible for me to take it seriously it's a truly strange and unconventional horror flick it in exploitative ingredients there's some tasty of female nudity and yet is also art albeit art with a completely sensibility br br the special effects are not too bad for a film with a budget and barry gives the film a good and atmospheric midnight movie quality the acting from the cast is as uninspired as one could imagine although patrick thomas lends a reasonable amount of as the artist narrator and one definite point of interest is seeing one familiar face on hand future meets father william russ br br this film might not have even found the small cult following that it does have were it not for copies making the rounds this certainly has to rank as one of the instances where such a practice ultimately ended up helping the film even if the exposure took years to take hold br br if you have a taste for truly bizarre obscure items death bed may be just what you've got in mind br br 7 10,positive
i saw the movie on its north american premiere july 14 2004 at the festival i was slightly disappointed as i had been expecting a more epic ensemble cast movie along the lines of the warrior instead the movie concentrated only a much smaller number of characters still the movie was solid thoughtful and visually intriguing there were slightly jarring tone shifts from the thoughtful and realistic tone of confused intrigue and blood versus the lighter more flamboyant martial arts sequences it almost seemed as though the filmmakers couldn't make up their minds about whether the movie was supposed to be a martial arts flick or a historical epic the story touches nicely on the issue about the need for loyalty versus the need to adapt to new situations is it really worth your life and those of your friends to be loyal to one's master or does there come a time when one must submit to the winds of change is there perhaps greater courage in leaving the old ways for new ones how does one decide these questions are raised in this movie and ironically there is the suggestion that the answer given may in fact be the wrong one,positive
this film starts as it ends and ends as it starts what is in the middle is a collection of comedy philosophy music observations mini stories colour and lots more it looks at the world and our lives and tells the story from the view of the group members themselves it also looks at television and film and makes a visual commentary it shocks also with scenes of war and shows how we are just in a big game it says all this and much more but if you don't look at it you won't see much more than scenes strung together to join up the music it's the sort of film that can never get boring because it's so cleverly done,positive
surrender cinema has been known for their extremely erotic almost explicit sci fi films while they generally do very well at these 1 2 virtual encounters this particular entry seems to be just a rehash of old tape any number of girls some recognizable and others not are in this film in all stages of nudity there are also several clips from other films which are outstanding unless you've seen those other films there are a number of solo nude scenes doing a number of things some playing basketball others talking still others playing with themselves the only thing of value in this tape is the very last scene a short but erotic girl girl scene with a very enthusiastic and enjoyable sandy and a more subdued not highly recommended,negative

note i've tried not to give away any important plot twists or the ending but if you're concerned about that please think about viewing the film before reading further thanks br br this was obviously a fairly high budget production released by paramount the story follows the supposedly true exploits of man jack shepard in london he was a who got into a life of crime by the thief taker to save his brother's life after being double crossed by the thief taker we turns into a sort of robin hood type figure and the support of the common folk he proceeds to make escapes from several including the infamous as well as having time to entertain numerous noble ladies br br i really enjoyed the film even though the plot was a bit predictable the film was shot in and ireland and the sets were very well done and seemed realistic i think captured the atmosphere of london in the quite well and i enjoyed his creative use of camera angles and unlike many films depicting this period pulls no punches in showing us the conditions in which the poor lived in one scene several folks fight over a meat pie that has rolled through the filth in the street br br overall i really enjoyed this film i will admit that it lacks the wonderful scenery and underlying political commentary that next film the last valley has a to the vietnam war but it still merits a viewing or two it is that it has not ever to my knowledge been released on video or dvd,positive
you can't take this movie seriously the plot is predictable and trite the acting often over the top the dialog laughable but it all adds up to great fun three career girls in the late 1950's find their way to the big city and all the and their mothers probably warned them about married men alcohol sex abortion etc br br then there's amanda farrell joan crawford who did succeed but whose personal life has been sacrificed for an office with her name on the door br br this movie may have been believable 50 years ago but now it's just great campy fun rent buy it and enjoy,positive

there's a certain irony in a parody of the gothic genre being turned into a mess of clichés by filmmakers who either had no idea what the story's purpose was or just didn't care all of the of your average family film are present younger siblings a grumpy teenager who doesn't want to move unsympathetic parents who are unable to see the and of course a romantic subplot the movie has very little in common with original story which was largely written to poke fun at the melodramatic gothic that were all the rage at the time if saw this version he'd probably laugh and then of course write a parody one can only hope that the children who watched this bland mass produced eventually discovered the wit and of the original version,negative
this film is a very beautiful and slow film there is nothing hollywood about it it is very danish and the characters are very real it is the first danish film to take up this theme it is really about love that has no gender i would not say it is about lesbian love even though the two main characters the and charlotte are attracted to each other it is a story about love and life br br the story pretty much takes place in the two apartments there is almost no background music which makes it seem more real and intense the two actors playing the main characters are great they really make them seem real they are not but real people you could meet in the street i think it is the first time i have seen a portrayed this well very well done,positive

i'm shocked that all the hated it ratings are and still above average to me this seems a case of the emperor has no clothes i understand this film was produced on a very low budget in the early 70's regardless it became a struggle to sit through and watch the dvd i saw did have some subtitles but about 75 of the speech is not subtitled some of it is hard to understand the was cool to hear but you struggle not to after awhile some of the shots were nice and the realism was there even if some of the performances were not great jimmy cliff did a good job the plot is not bad but quite predictable in the 1 film the highlights are jimmy cliff singing for a scene and a couple of shoot outs and a fight probably 15 minutes or so the rest is pretty boring btw near the beginning of the film there are some weird cuts with the character that seem like a editing mistake which made me laugh for a bit one reviewer said this film has been cut so many times that there are few copies of the original 1972 theatrical version out there the ending was kind of interesting showing how the media from a young age influences people it could also be a general comment on the white man's influence on other main themes are poverty corruption church ambition in closing the soundtrack is definitely worthwhile the film much less,negative

this movie truly shows the farce and of indian society what it tries to show you is only one side of the story the other side of the story is the hidden emotional and mental abuse of indian children which this movie does not show br br indian parents are for the following a destroying the of the children by making them completely on the parents at a very early age such children grow up to be adults only in physical looks but remain children in minds since everything has been provided to them by their great indian parents they children automatically do not feel the need to work hard at something or learn the of human communication with other human beings apart from their parents br br b i can show you so many indian parents who try to prevent their kids making friends going out or prevent them to do anything which starts making them to grow into adults br br the reason why they do is the same indian parents expect their children to take care of them when they grow old they do no for themselves and once they reach the age of 50 they cry out loud we have grown old now and so we are on you children since we have done the great service of bringing you to this world and taking care of you and making you intellectually weak br br most of the indian parents at the age of 50 have bodies and health and are completely insecure most feel that they absolutely have no need to take care of themselves since they expect their kids to take care of them br br in the west the opposite of that happens people start planning at the age of 20 about their retirement and once they they are secure br br indian parents do nothing of that sort since like i said they have brought the kids in the world and what better investment at that br br i am a victim of my indian parents i am sure there are countless other indian kids like me who have grown up physically but are still struggling with their lives on their own and they continue to have 50 year olds who cry out loud for help all the time br br this movie shows only one side of the story utter piece of junk,negative

from the get go you won't be able to look away and you won't want to the melancholy of no is one of the most entertaining i've seen in a long time if you can look away from the insane and sometimes perverse humor it's easy to find a brilliantly constructed and masterfully executed work br br part of the brilliance comes from the fact that the episodes are not in order so you may not understand some of the things they talk about at first but as the series progresses you'll find yourself saying ah so that's what they meant even though this might confuse some people after watching the show you'll be hard pressed to make a case against telling the story in this fashion br br after all the focus is on the characters the title character is by far one of the most eccentric of any anime ever her opening speech to her class in which she declares she is not interested in normal humans and is searching for aliens and time is absolutely bizarre but she's lovable that way br br then there's the normal guy who is pulled into the madness surrounding san he's the narrator and his quick wit always makes the scene that much more entertaining he finds himself caught in the middle of various all trying to influence and the other three characters are of these ironically they are the very beings is searching for and yet they cannot reveal themselves to her br br the first is a quiet girl who happens to be the only member of the school literary club and also a representative of the thought she is basically an alien though the best description of her is a computer program in a human body her purely make her deadpan and always make you think there's more than meets the eye then there's the time who happens to be incredibly cute a major and the subject of plans to her club the to the world the end result is that does things to her that border on sexual making her dress up in fetish uniforms the final character is the and optimistic who happens to be though he can only use his powers in certain conditions br br the end result of all these characters is a comedy unlike any other that is both crude and deep and always brilliant don't believe me watch the first episode their student film you'll see what i mean,positive
i walk out of very few movie and this movie managed to become one of those that i couldn't bear to watch any longer as far as the awards it won goes the ones awarded by turkish festivals are not credible in my opinion my only explanation for the queens festival award was to think that somehow a of comedy was gained in translation as the subtitles helped distract attention from the horrendous performances br br at the beginning of the screening i attended the briefly talked about the history of turkish cinema and at one point mentioned that early turkish cinema was appropriately named stage cinema since many of the filmmakers and actors involved were people from the theater scene br br ironically this movie falls right into that category english reading subtitles may think that turkish is a naturally loud language and all the yelling in the movie to that but native will immediately notice that all the actors are performing with exaggerated loud voices you could this to the amateur nature of all actors but the biggest source of out dialog is the main character played by the only professional actor in the movie not surprisingly his background is in theater my guess is that in response to his loud delivery of lines all other amateur actors raised their voices as well hence turning the whole movie into a series of unnatural performances br br put on top of all of this a storyline that develops at a pace you get an extremely boring movie br br i have to say i also have a personal problem with turkish movies that depict entirely rural life with shallow characters ever since one of the best turkish movies ever made turkish filmmakers seem to be not able to avoid the appeal of the rural part of the country this is only interesting in small doses and if it is as beautifully with excellent writing and directing as in most often however it is extremely boring and frankly somewhat embarrassing to native urban rural make up a neglected part of the country and while this provides good material for comedy it comes at a huge cost to image br br a western audience member whose only exposure to turkey is this movie will undoubtedly think that turkey is like afghanistan i wish filmmakers would realize this and let go of their passion for the stories of the rural man and stay loyal to the majority of the country who live in cities that put areas in europe to shame,negative
the most man in ireland revolves around who is 24 year old and still happens to be a virgin he lives with his mother in he is also a very shy guy towards women everything has changes for when he is by a woman as far as i can remember a it is not because he his virginity but he discovers that he has a super power despite having protection this becomes pregnant he is told by the doctor that he has very high count his mother brilliantly comes up with an idea which makes us see ginger headed babies all around in the end of the film he starts helping out women in both side of to babies first then with the help of his colleague runs a business out of it the most man in ireland has its funny moments but needed to come up with better jokes and with a better script i couldn't help thinking that it gave me the impression of a tv sitcom rather than a movie kris marshall is a different name on the silver screen but does not shine as star it's more like the guy you saw in such and such movie like him being in love actually i think he was very funny in that one well it was okay to watch but couldn't help off from time to time out of,negative
i must i was a little skeptical when i entered the cinema to watch french comedies tend to be so self satisfied nowadays that only the most stupid ones score high at the national box office but i was surprised that though the humor does not always reach the level of the the many references to the vision of the world in the 1950 which represents are hilarious et the director managed to recreate film making style of that time with an astonishing to put it short a bit of a good surprise not to mention the excellent performances from various secondary actors and at least for once jean style which can get on many people's nerves perfectly with the character he plays,positive
rush in is no doubt one of the most exciting dvds i have purchased although i am a biased rush fan of almost 20 years i found this performance to be flawless the music is heavy and sharp which sounds great on any surround sound system the band is energetic the crowd has a constant smile it's like they were able to capture every concert i've been to for any rush fan this dvd is a must if anything just to see the boys in brazil documentary which reveals the travels of this rather isolated personal band for any non rush fan this dvd is an enjoyable concert rush fans know the talent of these three we have rather firmly stood by them for years i've shown this dvd or portions of it anyway to those who have never heard of rush or those who think rush is less than good because they do not appeal to the masses of rock i e sex drugs and a drunken frenzy the bottom line is this dvd is worth every penny and more than worth the time to view it,positive

i was five when the show made its debut in 1958 and at a later point was a regular viewer i remember that i really enjoyed the show along with leave it to my three sons and harriet dick van dyke reruns of i love lucy the real etc i am now enjoying the first season of donna reed on dvd and have watched the first two episodes donna stone is shown to be an intelligent well mannered problem solving stay at home mom similar to june and in contrast to lucy in episode 2 i especially like how ms reed becomes a surrogate dad in her dress for and boxing while teaching her son how to defend himself physically against a much larger bully while none of the mothers in the neighborhood i grew up in including my own exactly met the idealistic standards portrayed by ms reed it is refreshing to see good manners and intelligent decision making at the end of the day in contrast to today's accepted standards of and indifference among one's neighbors i cannot imagine jeff and mary stone being told by their parents that in their is okay leaving a dog outside to all day is acceptable or telling their mother to shut up in a supermarket in front of everyone,positive

james l is one of those directors who always seems to take a quirky look at life he isn't only the producer for the simpsons he has some classic comedies under his belt broadcast news is one of them br br although it doesn't match his later effort as good as it gets broadcast news is still a very clever funny and witty movie about a television station and all the problems they suffer there's a great comedic sequence of physical humor where joan cusack is running around the building trying to rush a news tape to the editing room in a matter of mere minutes before it is to be broadcast live on tv br br this isn't only very truthful in terms of how stations are but also a and honest portrayal of human beings br br a low key subtle movie with good acting especially from hurt who i don't always like so much and apt direction,positive
i stumbled upon this movie whilst flipping channels on the late one night it has continued to hold my interest some twenty years later because of the important real life lesson it teaches us about the dark side of human nature and although it tells a true story that takes place in wwii it is amazingly to the ugly things happening in europe today br br if you thought ethnic as it's called today has anything to do with race or you'll think differently after viewing this story br br i guess i'd been pretty naive in thinking that evil follows any set of rules evil is as evil does br br this movie teaches a valuable lesson and i recommend it especially to e g church groups or civil rights br br i don't expect it will be too easy to find and rent but i'd really like to see it again because there is one amazing scene in it which gives a totally unintentional yet interesting glimpse of the banal of race expertise in this scene the who was taken prisoner by the nazis at the beginning of the war is discovered by an ss race authority and into a room there the two play a sort of guessing game where the ss officer is able to determine where our hero anthony character came from and where his came from well come to find out that character isn't a member of an inferior race after all but to the contrary he's a perfect which doesn't mean a whole lot to character who is more interested in talking about the towns rivers and mountain that the ss guy had just been nevertheless being a perfect has its among other things he gets to leave his job in a slave labor factory where he wears and into a slave job where he gets to wear nazi uniforms yeah it's a better gig for sure for a guy who always did appreciate wearing nice clothes until the allied arrive and recognize his face from magazine covers br br,positive

i must say i thought the show greek would be really ridiculous and stupid since i am part of a i didn't want them to make greek look bad br br but i think greek is hilarious yes they do have the stereotypical and but it's not mocking but just cute humor br br all the characters are pretty likable minus rebecca logan i just can't stand her and rusty have good chemistry as brother and sister then there is who doesn't love a guy like haha his character brings so much to the show room mate played by clark duke is hilarious as well br br it's definitely fun to watch so tune in for season 2 i can't wait till it is back on,positive
you know those films that are blatantly awful but you can't help but love them well that's what evil ed is possibly the best awful film in the world the sound is rubbish the dubbing is crap the screenplay is nonsense and the special effects are however i can't help but love this film and i have recommended it to at least 50 people over the years sam campbell or the guy who plays him should be featured on the actor's studio series as he is that memorable possibly the greatest movie villain not named tony montana seriously if you don't expect a lot then you won't be disappointed keep a light hearted approach to watching this film and you'll soon rate it a ten afterwards,positive
cross dressing little boy finds success on the spelling circuit despite an unconventional and dysfunctional upbringing shirley directed and stars as the child's grandmother and it is always fascinating to see long time actors getting their chance at directing a film the material that they're drawn to and the actors they choose to work with here the only person well cast in bruno is the child actors seem to have been picked for their and and hearted holds their close ups for excruciatingly long periods nothing about these seems natural not the lines that fall without consciousness out of their mouths or the interaction they have with adults or even each other as the boy's disgruntled father poor gary around the edges in mock shame always with a look on his face towards the end of the film turns the whole thing into a of scenes and even concludes with the kid the in rome another from a talented actress turned director who much like sally field and her film beautiful cannot seem to stop at and the audience shirley uses for and childhood innocence as a punchline the children in this cast roll their eyes crack wise with mature comments use big words but when one mouthed boy calls our sized hero gay him to go over and punch the kid out in front the media that for progression from,negative
a very interesting documentary certainly a lot more than a pseudo drama where the conspiracy is revealed in all its greed according to the documentary and confirmed by the recent of a biography on parker only two men the nature of in the world robert parker of and michel a french wine industry expert based in and also known as a flying the director is clever enough to insert interviews of local wine producers from many different of france from to and interviews of the biggest players in the industry such as the family to the on the of wine making and marketing a must see for anyone interested in the dark side of the industry drinking a glass of wine will not be the same political and commercial act after watching this well made,positive
first of all the story is not so simple as many earlier reviewers tend to emphasize it is actually a very complex story unlike other movies that are more bend towards character study in we have two main characters but as we are thrown from the start in the middle of a war we have no idea who is fighting and why everything is open for any resolution this creates a huge tension and makes every event meaningful as the story unfolds we are introduced to numerous characters that are turned into symbols of humanity both its dark and sides we have the example of the innocent who try to get by during an absurd war the cynical doctor who makes fun of his patients and provides the only bitter humor of the whole movie the perverse who try to make the best of an atrocious event character the innocent dead children the figures almost turned into animals from the boat etc all of them are somehow seen through the eyes of jan von and eva their characters are more restrained then in other films en passion and this is exactly because what is important here is the story the way exterior events have the capacity to change human nature br br bergman made this film two years after persona where the main conclusion expressed by the only word by character is nothing that's it the meaning of art and the meaning of life the latter being nothing more than a play that includes all plays but what about war and especially the ones of the century in persona the only real emotion suffered by character is when she sees a victim of the vietnam war turned into a human torch in that idea is extended to a complex analysis of the nature of war in a region of a country we only assume it's two speaking the same language fight an absurd war jan and eva are two caught in the middle but their dreams are woven in a sort of jan is at first an unable to react properly to the world and a subject to his wife's will towards the end he turns into a different personality capable of murder strong watch carefully the on the boat the simplicity of the act is harrowing on the other hand eva touch with reality and at the end she is completely in her own dream br br from a technical point of view the whole movie delivers its message in a very effective way bergman places the viewer alongside the character putting the camera in the car with the actors or in an extreme close up behind the actor manages an extraordinary control of the camera there are some masterful hand held effects very good in making everything seem real the shots when the characters are captured by the army look remarkably documentary like the screenplay is but the story is quite complex for that matter actually the whole movie is it has an intensity in the subject that is in a sharp contrast to the and lack of emotional involvement with which it is directed and filmed nothing is melodramatic here there is no compassion no hope and no apparent redemption but as in dream at the end it is all so beautiful one cannot help but being amazed at it it was not so awful since it was so beautiful,positive
wow where do i begin i rented this movie because it sounded like something i would be interested in watching with a name like val kilmer starring in this film i thought how bad could it be this has got to be the worst film i have ever seen with such a big name attached to it i was wondering why it slipped through the cracks and i never remember hearing anything about it when it first came out it starts out pretty good and is somewhat reminiscent of the intro sequence in the bourne identity but after the initial 30 minutes or so it goes from bad to worse and then it into wtf land if you haven't seen this do yourself a favor and don't rent buy it unless you are a or on a quest to see every val kilmer film out there there are many more titles out there that are more deserving your time this film if you can call it that is a waste of time i want my minutes back,negative
william m once said a good laugh is sunshine in the house when i watched take away i must say that the sun did shine in my house this film was superb the opening was very cleverly done the story held together well in a nutshell two chip shop owners who normally enemies are forced to form an alliance of sorts to engage in a david and struggle against a fast food chain which builds a restaurant on their street the ending was hilarious even though i have found many who disagree with me on that one br br the film was though very portraying contemporary australian ethnic stereotypes in particular the or culture clash if you will between the traditional australian and australian stereotypes and how they found a sort of though very nice br br i found vince performance as tony an australian fish chip shop owner in his thirties to be first class his acting was very genuine and convincing through his performance he managed to really bring to the surface the essence or i should say the soul of the italian australian stereotype which in reality is not too italian but not too australian either found that balance into its and gave it life br br the cinematography could have been better more shots of the local area would've been nice from what i can see it was in melbourne but where in melbourne to me it looks like somewhere between to though i am not 100 sure on that one br br i don't know why so many people are comparing this film to the castle though they have similar themes running through them take away stands in a league of its own br br i think the film was excellent with a capital e it has everything it's funny the jokes are great it deals with contemporary issues facing australian society the story holds well i loved it i highly recommend it,positive
i saw this movie at a and its the best movie i have seen in a time i loved it james franco is hot and him and miller make the perfect couple i don't want to give away what happens but they play a pair of who go off on their honeymoon to falls and some pretty wild stuff happens along the way the movie is really really funny and sad and original i can't even say what it reminded me of but go see it i cried so hard but really loved it and wanna see it again as soon as it comes out my friends cried too i hope it comes out soon does anyone know when i would really go see it if i were you,positive
the movie plot seems to have been constructed from a disjointed dream there is not enough realism to hold the viewer's interest the farm scene was a failed opportunity to show the way were set up and farm families lived which would have been interesting and entertaining there was little if no research into the trade of the period the costumes of the looked like something from the french revolution totally unbelievable the playing was good and of the time period but motions while supposedly playing were unbelievable the appearance was a never explained mystery and the train disappearing into thin air was too much i couldn't understand how a live got frozen into the ice and why two men in the wilderness without food would release the a good food source,negative
i saw this film one midnight and i can say that it worse than other horror film about a haunted house alexandra paul is not one of the best actress but she can do the role better the little girl get worse this is a example about a bad actress she has not got future in the great world of films sentence for house of the damned bad,negative
while the writing was terrible the acting was atrocious the only thing that saved this turd was the breast count but that wasn't enough to make me watch this again all said and done i'm actually dumber from watching this movie this was a new low for troma lloyd kaufman starting the movie wearing a garbage bag and making fart noises should have made me realize what i was getting into this was by far one of the worst ever put out by the troma team the best place to show this movie would be to sense they can't get up to change the channel to conclude this is not a swift recommendation to watch this movie just for the breasts,negative
if you've been laughing too much for a long time and need to take a break br br after reading about 25 reviews of this show i decided to turn it on and check it out for myself everything that each of those people have said about this show is absolutely true mind of is like a half hour version of mad tv but with somehow worse jokes br br one skit i had the of watching was the second stereotype what's funny about black guy who has trouble swimming or gay guy named that wins a banana eating contest neither of these concepts is particularly novel insightful or amusing do we really need a joke about star wars every episode that movie came out like 30 years ago solution to funny things up is toss in some stereotypes about and throw a few in there and call it a day to go home to roll around in his pile of money pure comedic genius br br then he blatantly ripped off jeff on a second show i watched with a your gay if bit you could just imagine the roaring laughter he got when he in a ryan is gay joke it's not like either of those has already been done to death br br unless you're a big fan of jason and adam movies please stay away from this show especially when there are authentic comedians like dave out there who can joke about races and racism and still be insightful,negative
a lot of people say the end did not make sense but it did with the female vampire dead the link to earth was broken and the ship took off having picked up a lot of from hundreds of thousands of souls enough to re those cells and create new bat creatures it seems they do not have sex like vampires of legend br br vampire bats from outer space may be ludicrous but killing them with with a shot to force center below the heart is consistent all you can ask for is the viewer has to suspend disbelief even for scifi br br the only problem is having to be a sword or stake not bullets that puts in a supernatural twist that does not fit with sci fi so that is a problem br br the only major i found is killing the male vampires with the sword but the soul of the girl and go up to the ship i assume the males souls also went up the ship but not shown br br what about all the humans killed do their forces souls go up to the ship as are does all the get into one for use as ship sees fit in other words all the human souls that went to the ship could be re as bat creatures br br the basic concept is no more ridiculous than star wars force or even re incarnation br br this movie was over the top kitchen sink dawn of the dead meets alien meets dracula but in many ways profound it was also a beautiful love story the beginning and end were it both began what is happening to me and ended as a love story br br most of the criticism of the movie is about its being bizarre so what bizarre is an art form as far as being ludicrous it all fits the plague concept is much more interesting and subtle than the aliens just killing people maybe they didn't need patrick blood to form an image of the girl but it was a very far out surreal scene br br another reason the movie is hated is because of the end but the end fits perfectly with the beginning people are so wrapped up in the nude girl that they miss the movie's core its a lover story from start to finish it starts with and the girl on the alien spaceship and finished same way so it fits perfectly most people are on the hero killing the monster and this movie did not end that way which is precisely why i love it br br instead it has a happy ending with the 2 of them going back to ship to be way than the hero kills monster end but that is exactly why it bombed it was not a straight up horror or even scifi horror at all but a love story with a beautiful beginning and end all those souls on the ship and the crystal room with new life br br most people can't deal with a love story that is also alien meets dawn of the dead meets dracula,positive
i'm a sucker for a decent superhero movie i'm not counting super bug budget no storyline either br br a couple of my favorites are the phantom and a budget movie called the the black can be added to that collection br br if you've seen the then get this movie it's basically a copy of that heroine it even stars the same guy in both movies br br if you haven't then let me explain a father is murdered and she seeks vengeance she up the black outfit a sexy skimpy outfit that looks absolutely great on joan and goes out to kick some br br it's a fun action packed movie mind you you may not wish the kids to see it without screening it first to see if you of the pretty graphic sex scene has in it which in my opinion was a bonus alright give it an extra star grin,positive
this show was a really good one in many ways although certainly an western with the hero riding around on a motorcycle rather than a horse due to the setting very late for a western which tend usually to be set between and i remember some controversy about its at the time but didn't really watch it during its time on nbc when i came to see it and love it was a decade later when i was in the army in germany and it was shown every week from the beginning on armed forces television by then was famous as lois lane but i'll also always think of her as girlfriend in a lot of ways was a lot like maverick both were much more attracted to getting rich with little effort than they were fighting it was in the little tv magazine that they distributed at the not really an edition of tv guide but made to resemble it as closely as possible without getting into trouble that i first learned the real story behind the i really wonder what the next season with the more violent twin would have been like if they had really made it as planned of course by the time this show was made the western era of tv had been in decline for around a decade someday i hope to be able to write that the reality era has been in decline for that long while and bonanza were still running they were both their ends and it had been years since a new western had really caught on i think that this trend did a lot to hold back and was the main reason that nbc executives that it would ever find a large audience but to me a good western unlike a show set in contemporary times is somewhat timeless as are other period shows changing fashions and the like do nothing to make them look any more dated than they were supposed to be and i think that watching this show 10 years after it was produced is really what brought this point home to me also this show is an early pairing of garner and stuart who is really one of the all time great and not just in westerns,positive
and nothing else br br one of my friends bought the problem child pack contains the first two problem child s in one disc and we decided to watch the sequel because it was funnier br br there were many funny moments in the movie the vomit scene that's all i need to say the dog after eating down and numerous others the movie is nothing but toilet humor but it's hilarious other than the funny moments though this movie has little to offer br br john ritter the crap out of me because it sounds like he's reading out of a book the man can't act in this one sorry br br although i can't say if i would find the movie funny now we were blown when we watched it it's a perfect movie for a rainy day but nothing else don't expect oscar material on this one guys,negative
this was a really interesting halloween film i to thrilled with the whole thorn theory but it still makes for a good film i liked getting to see tommy doyle back but sadly donald died right after shooting the film had a really really bad director who didnt give a flip about the series from what i heard treated donald bad and let harris come back as jamie its like he was just trying to bring down the film but i still liked it there were alot of cuts and music changes and if you're lucky you can get the producers cut which features over 40 min of never before scenes with those scenes it turns into a whole new movie check it out if you have the chance,positive
this is not a movie this is a collection of random shots taken in a fascinating part of the world dubbed over with some random text the footage is not that great and the text is not that great either the end product is excruciatingly dull br br on the dvd turning the commentary on can provide some entertainment value as the director makes a rather deranged argument that this is a sci fi movie it's also fascinating to read about the extraordinary risks and that the crew endured to collect this footage too bad it's rubbish but i think the making of morgana would be a fascinating film sort of like wood was,negative
being a in college this movie reminded me of my relationship with my mom of course my situation doesn't with natalie portman and situation but my mom and i have grown up with the typical mother and daughter fights there is always the mother telling you what to do or not being the kind of mother you want to be i was my eyes at the end of this movie reaction of her daughter going to the east coast miles away after all they've been through reminded me of how i felt being from a small city in the west coast going to new york br br the movie is meant for women who have children that are now all grown up it is very touching i was moved by the movie every feeling out of the characters in this movie was utterly real you didn't get any phony sentimentality i was sitting through the credits at the screening of this movie alone wishing my mother was sitting next to me so i could hug her and thank her for everything this movie is a bit corny of course but everything is its all about what a mom can learn from her child and what a child learns from her mother 8 10,positive
there were at least a half dozen silent film versions of shakespeare's the of and there have been several television productions but no one has ever gotten around to making a big budget theatrical feature from the play until now given the nature of the play s most memorable character the nasty jew it's a good guess that the little that in europe in the late 1930's and 1940's may have enthusiasm sure the main motivation for michael new film is to provide al pacino with a chance to shout and be tormented all of which he is quite good at like richard iii the role of is a scenery dream it is ridiculous to call shakespeare an anti since he never met a jew jews were banned from england from 300 years before his time to some decades after his death and its unlikely that he ever traveled abroad on some level jews might as well have been a race to him but while shakespeare may not have been anti his play certainly is pacino gives a strange accent that is probably meant to suggest the slightest hint of unfortunately the result is a century with the and of bear version begins with a crawl about the wretched of jews and then spot antonio jeremy spitting on pacino who's really just standing around his own business will buy it when it comes out on dvd for sure booker,positive

i own this movie on dvd and i have watched it about 10 times and it's still funny the jokes will never get boring and i often burst out laughing at inappropriate times just thinking about them the premise is that richard and eddie of bottom fame own the hotel in britain next to a nuclear power plant they are desperately in need of cash and when a film star in hiding comes to stay their luck just might be in br br to watch this movie and not become utterly bored or disgusted you first need to like the humour some would say that only hardcore fans really enjoy watching it but overall it's a great movie,positive
to be fair i didn't see a lot of this show probably because it wasn't as good as the original m a s h but i seem to recall them moving it around on the weekly schedule some shows just aren't worth the trouble of following around every week but i really did try at first so it wasn't all bad maybe i just kept expecting it to improve but i can't give this show a 1 in all honesty i can't give it any more than a 2 either br br it wasn't mash i'm not going to type those stupid 's every time and it was trying to be mash without putting forth any effort like it would just magically happen well guess what no magic the best i can do here is to compare it to other shows br br john m d was a much better show by far however they should have called it b j m d because roberts looked exactly like an older but nothing at all like john keep everything else the same just change his name and the name of the show after mash wasn't the only sequel to completely bomb and the original place was a lame follow up to all in the family it had no heart no conflict no depth – all of the things that made all in the family so memorable likewise mash was funny because the doctors were to the impossible absurdity of war remove the war and you remove the drive for 99 of the humor potter can't yell at for wearing a dress because isn't wearing a dress because he's not trying to get kicked out of the army because he's already out of the army because the war is over breathe all of the jokes became forced because there was no motivation for anything the least motivated was the viewer to stay around and watch the show br br and from what i remember the whole show seemed to be potter and just standing there facing the audience like a trio of vaudeville performers it was reminiscent of good times where they spent 90 of the show standing behind that couch and talking to the audience trying to make it look like they were having natural conversation they weren't and it felt even less natural on after mash br br another random i recall is that the people who made mash never got any from the spin off the studio used the absurd excuse that after mash was really a spin off of the movie mash which they owned and not the tv series nice try but was the only one of the three in the movie and he was never deaf i guess studio will do anything for a buck anything other than make a worthwhile sequel that is,negative
not having heard of this film it came as a surprise when it was shown on cable recently gary the gifted director of tough luck does wonders with the screen play written by bill and todd king the film involves the viewer from the start br br the young hustler at the center of this story has been involved in all kinds of petty crime in fact we witness a confrontation right at the beginning which makes him get out of new orleans as fast as he can he ends up in the carnival that is run by the mysterious falls for the woman he should have been wise to stay away from the result proves a fatal judgment for who then becomes the object of double crossing all around br br the director should be by the casting of norman who obviously is loved by the camera in spite of his nature one feels for him because we know his heart is in the right place the beautiful is perfect as the exotic dancer who in spite of being lover into falling heads over heels with her is barely understandable with the thick accent he speaks during the first half of the film br br tough luck shows a new director gary showing he will go to do bigger and better things because he knows what he is doing,positive
when i think of a 1970s period film this is not what i think of i don't want a monotonous one song robin soundtrack i want a soundtrack with the top 40 songs of the day that the '70s the generic style disco music during the prom scene was especially annoying the acting if you can call it that was very wooden and seemed just read from script in the film quality and camera work was horrid the dialog murky the script seemed thrown together without much thought and the plot was thin if not nonexistent i can't believe people are giving it the high ratings i've read here basically a forgettable poor attempt at a beloved era of the past two stars is all i can come up with sorry guys,negative
ok let's start with saying that when a dutch movie is bad it's really bad rarely something with a little bit of quality comes along here in holland but not often is about 4 girls going to spain to go on vacation party get drunk get laid u know the it's also about the world of or trying to lure the crowd into their club br br i'm not sure how long it took to write the script but i suspect somewhere between 15 minutes and 20 minutes because you're watching a bunch of random scenes for 90 minutes long nothing and i mean nothing is believable in this movie it's almost too for words what happens with the storyline suddenly the movie transforms into a sort of karate action thing with a one on one fight with 'the bad guy in and cliche car chase scenes a car can it be more cheesy also the words character development and casting are unfamiliar to the makers br br after having seen traffic 3 days before this i fell from sheer brilliance from a piece of art to this this is film making at it's saddest and don't start about low budget because even with a low budget you could write a better script it almost seems that the film makers were too busy themselves to make a decent movie br br anyway the chicks in the water at the end made it up a little bit but for the rest of it don't waste your money on such garbage,negative
an especially delightful film to those of us who saw this when young because after all it was meant for the young to watch when viewing it again as an adult it's better if rose can kick in it was the first of the 16 jungle jim films and later tv series johnny went on to do for columbia in the last 3 films he had to use his own name though as they'd lost the rights after getting the sack from playing tarzan for lesser johnny also gave up playing boy to become the jungle boy in a series of 12 films br br jim and party go on to hunt down the hidden temple of by an obscure tribe of devil doctors who seem to have the secret of a poison that might also be a cure for edgar rice probably after 16 years talking seemed awkward sentences together not that it on the swift march we meet many of the interesting but generally playful of the jungle the sinister crocodile going to eat the leading lady with her leg caught under a and the surreal elephant stock footage into a corner of the frame the dog and the crow had many adventures none of which turned out essential to the plot in case you were the biggest problem with the film is the climax which can be exciting but also unfortunately remind you of the end of a serial part – and the original excellent serial had been made 12 years prior although personally i wouldn't have minded this going on another couple of hours as well br br the only thing heavy about this was in so many ways an enjoyable kids film from the old days not recommended for serious adults so i love it,positive
a unique blend of musical film noir and comedy with a few sex scenes thrown in for good measure the only other film i can think of with a fairly similarly wild and mixture of themes and clichés is the french movie billy kick but that has a more surreal and quirky approach br br not that this film would not be surreal or quirky the humour is at times quite subtle at other times blatantly in your face and often crossing the border to to give an example in the post chat with a prostitute our hero max encourages her to reveal who was responsible for a recent murder using the words los literally this phrase means shoot in german and that is exactly what a hidden assassin does in response in other words this beautiful lady was sacrificed for a pun br br is also one of the very rare examples of films with funny sex scenes romance is accompanied by the song will i want more while the song perfectly the action the meaning of its words changes a couple of times at the end at inability of providing any further service the film's main love scene between max and lacks such subtlety this is jaw dropping stuff especially when singing slowly into of course all in the rhythm of the music br br unless you are one of the easily offended,positive
get the cd instead the show is tame and the editing sucks the crowd gets way too much screen time as does till the cameras spend more time on the same kid shaking his head around in the same way which leads me to believe it's the exact same shot than they do during richard solo in the scenes change so quickly it's impossible to tell where the camera is pointed and the are simply redundant not worth the tape it's recorded on,negative
excellent movie in many aspects has succeeded in depicting the time with care the light the places the feeling are perfectly perceived from the very start of the movie and along with it in opposite to what happened to mad love la a rather episodic historical movie all of this beautiful photography music clothes is a very fluid screenplay that reaches its climax in the only possible way br br concerning the actors paz vega as carmen is outstanding liar seductive totally sexual so beautiful carmen is a little less convincing the audience about his instant mad love for carmen but he succeeds in conveying the proper tragic mood to the whole movie i recommend it to everyone the best spanish movie of the year,positive
this is another of those rare movies one feels grateful to be introduced to instead of the usual hollywood tripe it really is a roller coaster ride as we follow the effects of a a 500 euro note on a of people one asks all the time but it certainly is a effect captured on film it'll have you laughing crying and biting your lip i loved every minute of it and thank you australia for showing films that are truly entertaining even worth the effort to read the subtitles the only downside to my mind is that i wont be a holiday to the frozen land they all seem to be far too depressed must be all that cold weather either way watch it it's worth every second,positive
i have seen this film on a sunday evening and i must say there is no better way to end the weekend i am totally pleased with the humor and the warm charm this film offers it simply leaves me in beautiful mood watching this film means having a great time and keep a warm feeling br br the film offers sharp black british humor and feels very fresh to me you really enjoy the story and the characters brenda is so great i don't know exactly why she's too old to be a love interest for me and too young to be my mother but i really feel comfortable when she shows up in the movie br br some may say the story was thin and predictable but who cares there simply has to be a happy end dancing in the sunshine are the characters stereotypes or cut outs i don't know better i don't care i just loved them and enjoyed watching them br br furthermore i must say that i usually don't like romantic comedies but this one is outstanding a black comedy with a heart of gold,positive
this movie is about a group of women perhaps not of the highest who are heading to a small to take over a recently property where they plan to set up shop upon arrival in a nearby city they find no one will go there even though its only 15 miles away so they walk when they get there they find there are no soldiers but a good amount of people who have taken over use of the and built up a small city nearby they soon find that something isn't right here and doom as the locals call it is in some serious trouble br br rather than go into the plot line i will make some comments about things i noticed about the movie first off the acting is very flat only a few of the people seem to be real enough to believe in my first though was poor acting but at the end i watched some of the and these same people became alive so my only thought left is this is how the director wanted it on top of the bad acting i have a great problem where the people don't react right to a given set of circumstances take for example no one would take them to for any price even though its only 15 miles away yet when we arrive at the we find it is well by a decent population of people all of whom must get supplies from some one not to mention mail etc it is supposed to take place in yet we can see the car has electric lights they aren't on at least and a engine that is at least 30 years later not one of the general style of so popular at that time there are also places where you can see and maybe a car at one point didn't want to bother to go back and look and other items if they had followed the rules of the world they made and let the actors be actors it might have gotten a 4 from me instead of the 2 i gave it and they it about 4 more times it might have done even better,negative
this is the first james cagney film i have ever really watched i was never interested in his movies before because i figured i wouldn't like anything in that style of cinema and because i've heard most cagney films are the same i have to say i really liked it by today's standards for movies it was not special but i found it surprisingly entertaining cagney did not have the look of a tough guy but he played the part very well,positive
i couldn't even sit through the whole thing this movie was a piece of crap i had more fun watching tell mom the dead it was just too painful to watch say besides austin powers has tom arnold ever been in a hit movie,negative
there is a great danger when you watch a film that had had such a profound affect on you the first time around that 20 years later it wont hold the same magic as it did before i must admit i expecting it to be as good as i remembered but a was is still as fantastic as i remember it when i was a 12 year old this film has a certain type of brilliance that not many films possess it is engrossing it is acted and best of all it makes me feel like a kid again and there many things that can do that john and rolls in this film are 1st class and i had forgotten how good they were until now i urge any parent of teenagers to sit them down and watch this and see if it has the same affect on them as it did on me 10 out of 10,positive
this movie was of the of best pictures i have seen by far the worst first of all i found the plot line somewhat absurd the absent husband for 25 years still in love not even a letter give me a break and why was the guy who was absent for so long working on an oil next door to the woman's party this film also some of the worst stereotyping of african americans that i have ever seen it makes gone with the wind see look downright i have seen a movie that i disliked this much ugh,negative
the man who knew too much is exceptional entertainment to those who prefer the 1934 original i will say that that one is faster paced and however even though the american version was heaven a big budget blockbuster i believe it blows the british version out of the water i think this is one of hitchcock's 10 best no small feat considering he made over 50 films and many of them were among the greatest of all time i find so many things to love br br 1 james stewart america's favorite for so many years does an excellent job playing the father here he can make any film enjoyable and working with such a likeable character in such a gripping story he had me rooting for him very intensely leslie banks in the original is nothing in comparison br br 2 doris day yes doris day despite all the criticisms directed toward her i think she makes the loving wife mother an extremely sympathetic person i disagree with the negative remarks towards her character just because she is soft spoken and gentle it doesn't mean she is and helpless i don't want to spoil anything but she does make a crucial discovery by herself after her husband has failed she gives the story a level of warmth that just wasn't there in the first one and for those who care about that this version is the way to go and i loved i think it is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard and deservedly won its oscar it the film to another level br br 3 the albert hall sequence i don't think it was too long at all i think the suspense built the whole time to that terrific and hitchcock's direction in this scene was absolutely brilliant and the assassin was truly frightening br br 4 the ending really put a smile on my face even after the aforementioned scene was over i found the rescue scene to be exciting and it was great to see the charming family together again the last line in the film is highly amusing i don't think the film started out slowly was trying to get us to know and like the and he did a great job i wasn't a huge fan of the kid playing hank but i didn't have a problem with him since hank was ben and kid i cared about him too it's not like he was a brat or anything br br i found no major flaws in this movie and so many major and minor virtues way to go,positive
hopper has never been worse as if he felt as this movie is worthy of only a grade b performance and he delivers a rather good one outside of madsen and hopper the acting is horrid you've seen better at your local high school the sound and at times the editing and camera shots are low end of b movies the scene with the tom is of movies greatest gratuitous nudity scenes i've ever seen it doesn't even come close to fitting in the movie the script was probably a great 10 page outline but when it comes out to a full length movie there are more holes in it then the dead bodies madsen left behind i do have to say hopper dressed in a nice suit driving the had me laughing out loud but i don't think that was the intent yes there is a little style and hopper can always draw my interest however the interesting plot concept never pays off and you are left wondering why you wasted your time watching this,negative
i'll admit that this isn't a great film it practically screams low budget yet oddly i still found myself liking the film because although it lacked quality it with energy it was like the little engine that could and a movie into one br br the film takes place at a radio network and concerns some of their low level employees two page boys one very and and the other one a as well as a new all three have visions of radio stardom but must for now content themselves with their jobs br br into this story appears a murder that seems somewhat out of the blue i didn't know that this was a murder mystery film and was taken a bit by surprise however like most b mysteries the cops are and it's up to our hero to try to save the day throughout all this i had a hard time deciding if was obnoxious or endearing i'm still not sure br br there is a moment in the film that is high on the and that is when the two pages try out for the roles of radio comedians they show up in black face and do a 3rd or 4th rate imitation of andy apart from being very it also wasn't funny fortunately the producer of the show they were trying out for seemed to feel the same way br br overall it's easy to skip this film and i wouldn't blame you if you do however the weird and frenetic pace of the film actually seemed to make up for the artistic of the film and i am glad i saw it a good film no but one that is still worth a for fans of old br br by the way perhaps i just don't have very good taste but i thought both female singing really had poor voices despite how everyone in the film is captivated by their listen for yourself and let me know what you think i just couldn't believe either was allowed to sing on film even if it was just for studios,negative
i've seen the 1973 movie lost and read many of the reviews for this movie i agree the move had many opportunities for improvement but unlike all those who are looking for the perfect movie with the perfect songs and the best acting i was looking for something a bit different and this movie gave it to me i watched this movie not as a critic but as a person looking for a little hope a little cheer a bit of a release from my everyday life and this is what i got you can be critical of the acting the singing and dialog but not what i look for when i go to a movie i look for a little release from my daily life a little time where i can sit back and imagine a better life where people love another and help another it's a shame we can't we enjoy a movie for what it tells us and quit picking it apart like an english teacher reading a fifth grade this may be very simplistic but really wouldn't it be nice,positive
for me it's a case you'll never understand if you didn't live it so read this to know why would i have such anger br br i heard a lot about bruce lee my father loved him my mother who hates any minor shot of violence loved him and how she talks till now about his the big boss aka of fury and the experience of watching it at the egyptian movies 1973 with all the gigantic success further to that i watched a real good movie about him dragon the bruce lee story 1993 so i found myself crying where are your movies bruce br br i went to the video store and it was dumb move you'll know why and i found a lot of bruce lee movies i selected one named bruce lee in new guinea br br i did it to myself and watched that one oh god please forgive your servant i myself but with no intended decision i wouldn't do it if i knew its evil its mythical level of br br after that i didn't understand at all what's the big fuss about bruce lee as a great immortal star why anybody would care whether he is here or there this hero whom i've watched is not that gifted and not that genius and of course is not that sexy br br until my father saw this star and he asked me to pause at any of his close ups and after he examined his face a little he told me in a very definitive way this is not bruce lee so i became too confused to ask who's this silly guy anyway br br it was 2001 2 years after my first entry to the imdb therefore i tended to it immediately to know who the hell is that man and i discovered the truth he isn't bruce lee no my dear friends he is bruce li br br and what a huge so huge difference i just want to know who can love that bad clone or god love his repulsive movies i watched 2 of them and couldn't bear finishing the third br br after that i ignored all our video stores because its cheap cunning writing on the posters that this is bruce lee and i've got the original the one and only bruce lee who is such a great star indeed and oh boy he certainly had the right to and no less,negative
there are so many lists which could easily fit the dead best screen drunk best literary adaptation best use of music not specifically written for the film best use of poetry best screen speech best ensemble cast and finally perhaps best film ever made this was john last and greatest film adapted by his son tony from james short story and set on the evening of the feast of the in the of it is confined largely to one setting the home of the sisters and not a great deal happens in conventional terms they entertain their guests there is singing dancing and much small talk but watching this film you can't imagine anywhere else you would rather be than in this company br br finally of course it is much much more it is about love loss and regret those stable of great drama in the film's closing scenes the frank sings a song 'the of which up in the mind of huston wife of gabriel the ghost of her first and probably greatest love a boy who died in all of a broken heart at the age of and suddenly gabriel realises he has never really known his wife and that he has not been the great love of her life after all emotionally these scenes are incredibly powerful firstly as the circumstances of her death and then as the voice in head sums up his own feelings this is great cinema the monologues superbly delivered by huston and br br but then all the performances are extraordinary this is ensemble playing of the highest order and while it would be to single out one performer above another has the screen ever given us a more likable or convincing drunk than or has poetry ever been delivered with such passion that sean the ira man in the quiet man brings to his reading of lady translation of here added is to be had of course from the knowledge that huston himself was close to death when he made this film which seems to me the of his life's work death may well be its central theme but viewing this film is a life experience,positive
valley girl is the definitive 1980's movie with catch phrases throughout this wonderfully acted movie the characters are so convincing that you forget it is a movie and not a video of an actual day in the life of any high school usa this flick is to the 1980's what the brady bunch tv series is to the 1970's if you don't like it well then gag me with a,positive
this zany film rivals the ghost and mr chicken as one of don finest film performances is an for a city hall that is good for the citizens they fire the three competent and keep the dumb one of course is the dumb one when his garbage collecting accidentally the wrong trash can finds himself wrapped up in a bizarre trap set by the city for him funny moments in the movie include the alley scene and the cemetery scene is absolutely hilarious typical the nervous act is well used and as usual he is surrounded by lots of crazy character actors from the sixties such actors as frank and pitt herbert add to the mayhem as one may expect armed with a big car a pretty girl and no real clue of what he's doing fun for anyone especially nostalgia buffs but just about anyone will love it,positive
yes i really found this film br br i didn't like the sandra oh character she really annoyed me it is unlikely she would be accepted into rural italian life due to the fact she is non white this was a bit of pc nonsense br br the film is also offensive to italian men for instance the one man she diane lane has an affair is turns out to be a cheat but guess what at the end your typically american brick head turns up all cheesy white smile and and she finally finds what she wants all along a real american man and now she has another part of the world br br in fact this film is quite racist in its depiction of italians and the way it them as either smarmy or br br the photography was good but the film and its attitude were trash,negative
i cannot believe i was hooked on this show instantly after seeing the first scene i was in it deep br br anyway first of all the guys are hot heath etc br br secondly the girls are cute sexy smart and are not afraid of being called i like that which at the same time doesn't make them mean and greedy just realistic br br third the relationships are so great especially and lately every show turns very away from it's original path and people end up with someone who wasn't even in the first season and relationship is true love a kind that lasts they loved each other throughout the years and it didn't end when a guest star appeared br br in todays world maybe it's kind of unbelievable for two people to love each other for a long time but it happens and people define each other in college so i knew exactly who i wanted to be with in college just like and br br i hope there are many more seasons of this show and i hope we can see the relationship between and now that they will probably stay together at love this show,positive
my god i have not seen such an awful movie in a long long time saw it last night and wanted to leave after 20 minutes knightley tries really really hard in this one but she cant handle it dropped her accent every once in a while and didn't have the charisma to fill the role acting gets you to a point where you start to ask yourself has she ever had acting lessons judging by the edge of love never been to acting class but should consider to go in the near future they both look really pretty maybe thats what they should focus on in their future career if they can be actresses everybody can,negative
some of the secondary actors try really hard and camera shots in the desert are quite lovely otherwise this film is horrible br br william character harvey is an amateur screenwriter he's also a psychopath a man who quite literally escapes from a mental institution is the point of this film that amateur screenwriters are harvey will do anything to get his script read and turned into a movie even if that means taking a film crew hostage do amateur screenwriters maybe they do br br the film's setup is way too long we don't get to the point of the story until well into the second half the first half and among characters br br shoot or be shot is as a comedy but i found it totally not funny dialogue contains no subtext none of the characters are believable as real people they're all stick figures that perform action in a way that resembles cartoon characters indeed the film is basically a cartoon for adults silly inane br br i can understand why some actors are in this film they need the money or the exposure but what are shatner and harry doing here maybe shatner wants more comedy roles is this the best he can do is that desperate for money he used to be a respected actor what happened br br even though the story is supposed to be a satire it comes across more as a put down of amateur screenwriters maybe that wasn't the intent but that's certainly how the film can be interpreted as such the script was very very poorly written,negative
first off i am a huge fan of and as one i will base most of my critic on his books br br the movie is a standard adventure movie well made with nifty special effects nice sound track and fine acting now if this movie was called something else than lord of the rings the reviews wouldn't be half this good as they are here br br the problem of the movie is that it takes the basic story line from books but then it goes and everything it can numerous scenes from the book are missing or changed quite a lot the characters are changed from the book also a thing that i think should be what the movie lacks is deep insight of the characters in it i know that it is almost impossible to make a good film out of a good book and it didn't work here mostly the motivation of the characters is left at best br br as a adventure movie it would rate 7 10 as a adaptation of it rates 2 10 br br i mean honestly what on earth was doing at ford and as for the comments that this movie is the best ever i can only say that you are very young or you seen good movies br br peter jackson should have called this movie an adventure movie based on the lord of the rings,negative
i am at a loss to find the words to express how bad i thought this film was the initial was promising but in all respects afterwards it was totally awful let's run through the main points plot good initial idea but truly terrible development there were many points when i thought no nobody would do something that stupid the ending was amazingly characterisation all of the characters were either completely bland or grotesque caricatures i keep trying to think of one that wasn't possibly the mother but that's it music inappropriate and generally terrible direction totally amateurish cinematography doubt they've heard of it camera angles zoom levels often really bad i am totally at how this film has scored so highly it's the worst movie i've seen at the cinema for years if not ever,negative
i loved the original i watch it every year but the second is a piece of garbage and it never should have been made the second could have worked if there was a different location the son was not an original or didn't even act like one of kids third was too smart for eddie which his father role none of the other kids where in it it just could of been a lot better i don't know why they even tried to make this movie there was no from the first movie i will pretend that this one doesn't even exist it is sad that the actors didn't even see that they where made fools of a really bad movie i just think that i wasted an hour or more on a bad movie and i really love all of the national lampoon films,negative
if you pack all the clichés about city into minutes you have ladder br br it has a story but is highly by all the clichés it turns it into movie that with every event becomes so predictable it's not worth watching there is no depth to the story and even the acting seems superficial br br it looked like it wanted to be a tribute to but ended up being boring and pretentious the parallel between jack being trapped beneath an part of a building and being trapped beneath the of the twin towers was all too obvious br br it doesn't compare to movies like and certainly does not set an example for future movies about fire,negative
i just finished this movie and my only comment is oh wow jennifer is ok as the but butler as the female dance is pure sexual dynamite having watched her in i was not prepared for the pure and raw sexual excitement she onto the screen br br i gotta see this movie again if only for butler as,positive
probably because this is first film in color the colors look different specially in the scenes they seem to be stronger and the result is a bit unrealistic but very pleasing randolph scott is the sheriff a good guy but the real star of the movie is a very young glenn ford who is an outlaw that wants to change evelyn is the woman that starts falling for ford and claire is the that runs the saloon there is a funny character called that does not think twice before blowing it i particularly enjoyed two moments of the film one when there is a tremendous horse and you see thousands of horses there was no computer to help at that time so i presume they must have gathered all those horses no easy task another moment is the final shootout technically very good there is also quite a seeing this western made in 1943 with such great action scenes makes you come to a sad conclusion they don't make them anymore would they be able to in case they wanted i have my doubts,positive
i think this movie had really bad production value the lack of acting makes me think they should mark it as an early it may have had no money available for its making i feel bad that it was a ride into the major league for jackie robinson br br i believe he was much better than many of the white players of his day he had to be really great to break the color of the time no getting around that this was a really bad movie br br wish there was more info about its makers they may have been limited by the quality of actors that were willing to take on the project maybe no money to get good people,negative
i actually first watched one dark night in the theater wrote a review of the film for my high school newspaper i loved it then i still love it the storyline revolves around two people first of all one woman learns that her father has after his death she then has feelings herself about the strange powers of her father even in his death the he's buried in plays host to the other main person a high school girl doing anything to get in with a group of girls that just want to torment her dare her to stay in the all night to join their group they go back in the night to scare her find scares for themselves the cast is led by meg with supporting roles by adam west and one of my personal favorites elizabeth daily aka e g daily check this one out if you love 80's movies cheesy horror movies you won't be,positive
steve martin looks like he's had a face lift something very strange about his face i usually like anything steve does but this movie comes off as trashy not funny didn't think him to be rough with his wife was a good message to be sending out to teens watching this film,negative
the true story of a spanish who fought for decades for the right to be this film along with the best picture winner of the same year million dollar baby caused a stir that year with their depictions of disabled persons death both for the disabled and unfortunately for the conservative pro life groups both films and their oscar nominations the nominations also came during the entire terry just to put it all in some historical perspective the especially from the groups against million dollar baby make some sense – the film clearly depicted without the life of a as worthless the film's central character maggie fitzgerald becomes a doesn't seem to get any whatsoever no help whatsoever and immediately wants to die the film is honestly pretty dumb and the sea inside based on the true story is certainly a lot more thoughtful on the subject it most likely got into the same category as million dollar baby without its having even seen it an incredibly common phenomenon the film does give time to many different sides of the argument and it immediately declares that the wish to die is that of the protagonist and the protagonist alone it is guilty of a couple of crimes though and i'd still understand why groups could have a problem with it first and foremost there's the meeting with a bishop i don't look kindly on the way he's depicted his wheelchair is depicted as absurd and there's almost a comic sequence where his boy toy servants are dragging him in his chair up the stairs he can't even reach the room in which is located and one of the boy toys is forced to carry the conversation between them i had to think gee maybe if lived in a slightly more wheelchair accessible household he wouldn't spend his entire life in bed and might find life more fulfilling who knows how closely the film depicts the reality director the others also includes some laughable scenes that try to make this film about suicide more life like a cross cut sequence where looks thoughtful and his baby is born but besides a few ugly moments the film is very good it hurts that someone may want to die when they have the ability to bring so much joy and insight into the lives of others however in the end our lives do belong to us shouldn't we have the right to choose the film's strongest asset is its supporting characters and the actors who play them it depicts how fight and decisions affect those around him with a beautiful the family members in particular are great and final departure from them is absolutely heartbreaking and had me in tears my favorite performance in the film comes from lola whom i also felt gave the best or at least certainly most performance in last year,positive

a chick flick that guys still like yes wonderful now i can have fun enjoy the company of my girl and not feel like i can't wait until the movie ends light but funny great stuff what ever you do don't miss the dvd extras this a great blind date file too will smith does well in this even though in is light acting he pulls it all well the movie is a little slow in pacing don't expect too much action the laughs are there and so is the message but the timing is a little slow use the low moments to or kiss it will pick up the ending makes the feel good moments worth it most of all expect fun light hearted fare and watch for some great by the supporting actors they make the film the plot twists are predictable but it is a date move so get the of popcorn from the kitchen and don't make her pause it count on more dates after this movie she'll want o see what is next in line remember advice br br enjoy,positive
the price of a dream and some dreams can be too expensive br br only having viewed the english translated version it is perhaps the reason for a low rating from this viewer br br it made the overall film than the story material hinted at br br and other comments seem to suggest the subtitled version would be better br br but some plot elements remained unexplained leaving an unfinished feel br br it also leaves the thought is there a series to follow br br a pity there was no more at this stage at least anyway,negative
this is the classic western the good glenn ford the dashing hero the ex soldier the man who would not hold a gun again he eventually has to stand up the the evil land baron edward g robinson who owns most of the valley and wants it all then there's barbara stanwyck the real of the edward g wife who will allow no one to get in her way even making edward g robinson look weak she is so evil that everyone else next to her blind ambition and to rule the valley and everyone in it the in her eye as she sees people face death for her is unnerving it is worth waiting for throw in a young brian keith and a few others and you have a drama that stands on its own with the requisite shoot outs and close ups of hard riding and you have a heck of a western without giving anything away there are enough twists and turns within to make this not just a standard cowboy shoot em up,positive
the man with the golden arm otto controversial crime drama plays itself out among the mental of its living and in opening the film a from within a bar of frankie looking in through the window already tells us to the that the experience will grasp pulled in the direction of increasingly spaces the film itself off as the local long drawn out poker game itself from the daylight itself in as sinatra's frankie machine has himself locked in a room in the celebrated scene of his harrowing struggle to overcome his habit in into the and faces of its urban the visual traffic in the man with the golden arm psychological circumstances an environment as by the recurring tracking shots into closeups of eyes br br the grace of this fiery drama striking as early as the exciting opening shot displays the command over the world that studio production allows the wonderfully urban sets define an independent place with no or ends an state the sort that in reality hardly last as long as this row seems to before being or the flair of certain performances particularly robert as the wonderfully named underworld gambling boss and arnold as four eyed becomes this fiery surreal feature the premise of drug addiction sinatra's performance elmer jazz score and famous influential and controversial opening sequence on the animated paper cut out of a heroin arm that in its era the man with the golden arm forward upon the cause for realism in the still hollywood it is and as i say but its intent its force and its spirit are much closer to home br br what me the most in this film is its aspect as a gangster film it has the illegal card games short cons the fights the guns the double crosses characters on the a femme fatale a stunningly sexy gun the shady and urban landscape but it does more than exploit this environment for entertainment really it is the perfect environment and genre in which to tell this story a crime ridden urban where it's all too comfortable to escape through a bottle or two or three or four or drugs a dose that really just functions to keep one in obscurity from any enlightenment and all the clear scenarios the world could,positive
this is highly entertaining drama with an excellent cast garfield is fine as a boxer hiding from the police with that crew the dead end kids most notable of these is the beautiful billy who has some very moving moments gloria who in real life died very young in a house fire is strong and very attractive as sister and in the early scenes ann sheridan on the brink of stardom is a knock out may is very funny as a old but claude proves here that even a great actor can if cast whoever thought of casting him as a tough new york cop br br busby berkeley proves here that he was a fine director with or without musical numbers the film moves at a terrific pace and the water tower sequence is very suspenseful and well photographed the ending is contrived and the plot nothing startling or original but i still found this a highly enjoyable experience,positive
the best part about this movie is that you can watch it over and over again n still not be content of watching it i have watched this movie least 10 times over the past 12 years and still it makes me laugh as if i was watching it for the first time i have great liking for good comics like the cheech n chong monty python series and many others but this one in hindi is one of my favorite outstanding movies some of them recently in hindi are series and series so all i can say is comedy is finally but is pretty different from the movies i have said above its what i call the hindi stoned comedy and very few of the kind found around 1994 in hindi cinema cheers to for the brilliant movie,positive
or at least you feel pretty high after this movie it's the kind of film that the word really can be applied to though it's in that entirely casual intelligent and open minded way that belongs to the french br br no catherine does not spend the entire movie high sorry to disappoint any with an agenda but the one scene to which i refer involves all the members of a wedding party and it's a musical number anyway everything fits pretty together and the unusual bright colorful family mother is a lesbian her bon daughter alternately entertain and annoy us as real families do but since it's a movie they mostly entertain br br don't want to say too much about the ending but ends up marrying a man about twenty years younger this is entirely believable as we see the relationship develop over time and as the two are naturally drawn closer and closer together the ending is a happy one and like the rest of the movie quirky as well as pitch perfect,positive
after two brief scenes that at first seem unrelated to the rest of the film we see a dark haired obviously rich beauty in the back of a her driver stops at an odd location on drive which is a two lane road full of los angeles just as her driver and another man in the passenger seat turn around to kill her two drag racing cars from the opposite direction come crashing into the only the dark haired woman survives she works her way down the to sunset and hides in a woman's apartment shortly after betty the woman's niece shows up at the apartment and runs into the dark haired woman who now has the bulk of the first part of the film is betty and the dark haired woman trying to figure out who she is why people were trying to kill her and why she had thousands of dollars and a strange key in her purse this is interspersed with oddly surreal threads about hollywood producers and directors with occasional into a land of and prostitutes br br the above may sound a bit complicated and disjointed but that's not the half of it the film is constructed so that the meaning will always be open to interpretation it's basically guaranteed that you will not understand this film and you will not have very much confidence arriving at your own interpretation the first time around even if you have a lot of experience with like minded films such as 2000 2001 the i inside 2003 and the effect 2004 you may not understand it on a second viewing either the studio was aware of this to the extent that they had director david lynch write 10 clues to this thriller and they put it on the back of the chapter listing insert in the dvd lynch being of a particular these clues are almost as as the film itself it doesn't help when trying to figure it out in the early stages that the structure is extremely complex it takes a very long time to figure out what parts are supposed to be real and there is a complex of flashbacks in some sections with only clues that they're flashbacks br br but is the film worth watching or worth trying to figure out that depends on your tastes obviously on a surface level the film is certainly attractive if you are a fan of although it will tend to seem a bit slow and overly disjointed to some viewers but those qualities and many other aspects of the film are typical of lynch a prime moment is the old couple in the beginning smiling almost as if they're alien people trying to put on a front if you're familiar with that style and like it you'll find much to love here although in many ways drive is fairly understated for lynch it's also worth noting for viewers primarily be interested in it or who enjoy it just as much as other aspects that drive has a quite steamy lesbian scene it's not gratuitous although i have no problems with but is instead an important in the film br br like all of lynch's films it's easy to become in his unique approach to every aspect of art and his attention to detail any serious student of film including students should study drive many will love it lynch doesn't let anything pass he includes brilliant color schemes such as the of and with important symbolism he makes unusual use of sound such as the carrying over into the section of score that follows it when betty first arrives at the airport he directs his actors to deliver their lines in a of bizarre ways such as his characteristic odd pauses he lets his odd and surprising sense of humor poke through such as the name and the hot dogs made for sign that provides a clue to some of the color symbolism br br lynch's attention to detail in production design provides important subtle clues throughout the film to help one the meaning it's interesting to note that lynch even apparently demands that the dvd programming be unusual there are no chapters on the disc you must either watch the film in real time or fast forward or to get back to particular points br br if the and meaning of the film are attractive to you or if you're just fond of then drive is well worth watching for that aspect there is a fairly accepted interpretation of the film at least on a broad level i won't the standard interpretation here it is worth but only after you've seen the film a couple times and have reached your own conclusions many and have been written on the film and interpretations there are even dedicated to it br br for my money however although i generally love lynch and find many things about drive attractive it is not quite a 10 for me at least not yet i have a feeling that my score could still rise on subsequent viewings to me though the twist aspect of the film is done much better in other works such as the i inside and the effect drive is more attractive to me for its surface touches but the plot doesn't carry them as well as some of lynch's other films br br still drive is certainly recommended for the right crowd if you're serious about film and do not mind having to think about what you watch as if those two would not necessarily you shouldn't miss this one,positive
notorious hk actor anthony wong is for once well not actually once he was a cop in the daughter of darkness films and a few others not a weirdo in erotic nightmare usually recognized for his role as a complete in such like the story and the syndrome this time wong is on the receiving end of the br br wong plays a guy who goes to a who promises to give him really good dreams for a price true to his word the dreams that wong has involve having mad sex with hot but the dreams come with a price that's more than money the can manipulate the dreams and with the help of a sexy ghost wong out of his cash and business kills his family and eventually kills wong himself brother comes to town to find out what's going on and eventually finds that his family's murder is the work of the evil but as it turns out brother is a pretty ass himself and with the help of the abused wife turns the tables on the and his schemes br br erotic nightmare is one of the more enjoyable films i've seen in a while absent is the gritty and dark feel of some of the other entries like red to kill the story or human chop erotic nightmare though still sleazy in terms of sex and subject matter is more fun then some of the more serious films of the genre more comparable to eternal evil of asia a more entry that delivers plenty in terms of nudity and a good bit of gore without being overly comedic either definitely worth a look especially to the genre 8 10,positive
can i just start by saying i'm a fan of bad movies and this is a really bad movie it states on the front 100 passengers 3000 snakes but i think it's more accurate to say 12 passengers and about 20 snakes br br the snakes don't do anything particularly interesting the whole movie in fact just on with little happening although there is occasionally a great gore shot of arms and green goo bad movies have to have green goo don't they br br but then the ending comes along and will quite literally you off you seat in and for that this movie gets a boost up to a 2 rating br br there are certain movies about in the world that you will want to show to your friends just so you can watch there reaction when a certain event happens in them br br for example the arrival of man' in r kelly's in the 'the in attack you'll know it when you hear it the arrival of the mama shark in attack almost every scene of the ending of just for utter disbelief and confusion and the end of this movie proudly sits in this category it's worth sitting through just for that so get drunk stoned whatever your poison is and watch this movie with some mates br br quite simply if you like bad movies get this but don't get it confused with on a there's no relation br br and don't pay more than a for it either,negative
this program is certainly my favorite non sitcom television comedy australia produces very little good programs most of the tv which i watch and i live in australia is from the us and england br br the funniest part of this show is just how controversial it is like when they went past numerous security at the pretending to be canadian br br the show is made up of pre filmed stunts general satirical discussion of current world events and sometimes on stage skits these all come together to make a fabulous extremely funny tv show the segments like ad road test and message from bin are hilarious for anyone interested in watching hilarious satirical tv comedy then this is definitely the show you should watch br br all the guys are great and do an excellent job in entertaining you for half an hour br br i would rate it 10 10,positive
the mere presence of sam as an indian is enough to put this movie in the must see category he is both beautiful and very subtle with no lines whatsoever he is tender with his and yet we can see he is among the of all young indian men martin sheen is just a dumb who decides to challenge white bull for a gorgeous white horse other sub plots are really unnecessary i don't understand the part played by caroline as the poor girl who white bull kidnaps i don't know how she keeps her hands off this beautiful indian man it's a lot of fun though especially if you're a fan man he looks good in this one harvey role isn't even worth mentioning to tell the truth but rent it and enjoy actually i do believe that if the music score was better it would've been a more dramatic film the music is so bad it's distracting still there's mr,positive
that's certainly not the best film ever but that's certainly worth seeing for people with a special kind of mind so the one who loves sadness and depression and scary fairy tales at night and wolves and real madness welcome if you find a copy of course as for me i could stand it only once but since that the wolves and saint lucy and children's drawings and a christ live in my nightmares,positive
a real insult to the original which is one of the most genuinely disturbing films and i intend this as a compliment i have seen in the last years br br where the original is chilling and brilliant the remake is flat and even boring especially the happy end finale takes away what little suspense there was in this film in the first place br br while such a especially a happy end which wasn't there previously is quite frequently the case in hollywood remakes of european art house movies and could've been expected the biggest disappointment lies in the fact that this inane mess was created by the very same filmmaker who did the original br br why mr decided to ruin his masterpiece in such a fashion is beyond me br br avoid this abomination at all cost as it might spoil the original for you even if watched after that let alone the other way round,negative
i've often heard people express disappointment that has little to do with shakespeare's original in my opinion that is both true and false but most of all it's a bad starting point for offering critique a work of art should never be for what it isn't but for what it is the movie is nothing like a faithful rendition of the play but to my mind it is faithful to shakespeare's work in spirit what is then is perhaps one of the most successful experimental films of all time no not experimental as in hand held camera and dialogue but experimental as in exploring the of a story without regard for box office is epic sad realistic full of life but most of all it is imaginative cassavetes portrayal of philip is in itself worth a 10 10 rating and when you add gena rowlands susan sarandon a wonderfully deep molly julia the dialogue the music and the suggestive little scattered throughout the picture i rest my case one of the best movies of the 80's don't miss it,positive
on the opening night of the san francisco silent film festival i was quite excited to see films that are historical and well not common the guest who opened this film created a sense of hype towards the obscurity and how this film is underrated the sci fi part of the film was very interesting and fantastic for its time but i'm not sure if it was due to the fact it was shown directly after the brilliant the wind or if it seemed that russian filmmakers take after what russian novels are famous for hundreds of characters plots but i know for certain that the dramatic parts as in the parts on earth made absolutely no sense were boring and i became lost within about twenty minutes maybe it was the acting but i found myself convinced as to why this film is unknown and underrated it's boring there is no plot or basic story and the acting is horrible this certainly is no however i will say that russian films do not make a real good effort in lightning up what life in russia is like,negative
back in the 70's a small time texas filmmaker named s f directed a handful of surprisingly decent low budget drive in horror flicks which seem to have developed a small cult following over the years before viewing his first film don't look in the basement i wasn't too sure what to expect but i sure as hell didn't expect it to turn out to be the only texas horror i thought was better than the chainsaw massacre i don't know this might actually be my all time favorite horror movie br br we begin in an isolated insane asylum at first it seems like a rather laid back place to get mentally healthy considering all the patients are allowed to around and as if it were their house i guess it is none of them seem all that dangerous only the residents include a love a 700 year old woman a man child a a guy who thinks he's in a war a woman who thinks she has a baby and a guy who thinks he's a judge one day out of nowhere judge kills the doctor with an axe shortly thereafter the wanna be baby mama kills the nurse ten minutes into the movie and things are looking really ugly perhaps the new nurse will know what to do then again perhaps not giving away more would do more harm than good it's best to head first into this one knowing as little as possible if you can appreciate honest to god with horror then you will not be disappointed br br if you liked scream if you liked wrong turn if you go for that unoriginal over produced over scored digital hollywood garbage then chances are high you just wont see the beauty in this one don't look in the basement being a first attempt makes the quality all the more shocking the atmosphere and the fit into the location and the score like a unfortunately good ol' s f used up most of his good ideas on his first movie although the next entry in his texas sized is somewhat of a masterpiece that is if you're into extra sleazy mean spirited like someone i know if you fall in love with first two and absolutely must find out what else he had to offer check out don't open the door and the house where hell over don't look in the basement has everything that successful horror needs no stars no budget no digital effects just an original story brought to life in an insane asylum with a dozen cast members and a somber subtle score and of course the twist this is real horror for the real horror fan 10 10,positive
i actually liked this movie sure the acting was flat there was no plot and the villain was the that i've seen michael as is worth laughs in his own right with an incredibly funny and evil laugh but its worth seeing just for the worst explosion you will ever see outside of the power rangers tv series you'll know it when you see it honestly this movie must have the budget of a low grade porno i almost stopped watching after an hour but i recommend watching through the whole thing at the very least there's plenty of eye candy for all to enjoy recommended for viewers with a high tolerance to poor movies,negative
strangers with candy overacts in all the wrong context the situations are just not funny with the cheesy voices and bad low brow comedy timing the clear attempt at dry black dark humour is obvious and it fails to deliver on all elements of a good joke br br with a high cringe factor and low laugh ratio i was shocked this show went pass the first season i personally like the office 30 rock trailer park boys pulling show simpsons family guy and i know what your thinking these shows aren't weird at all so some other good shows i've seen are jam the book group asylum and snuff box which are original with dry black dark humour satire and are all at least 5 10 br br especially is cheap looking and weird however the context is thought out and works to make it really out there and entertaining too,negative
this is an astonishingly bad action film i'd say its primary flaw is that it's boring funky retro set design and decent cinematography cannot prevent this flick from being a second major flaw is its lack of character development by the actors' lack of talent i tend to like claire work so i was quite surprised by her non existent performance in this film is woefully miscast how could his mouthed bumbling acting style possibly fit into an action flick as for omar well he needs to take a few acting lesson to learn how to the man had the same facial expression for the entire film my suggestion is to save yourself a few bucks and wait to see this turkey on cable,negative
i remember seeing this years ago it had a reasonably promising start with an interesting premise but then it into nonsense quite quickly uninteresting characters failed attempts to add drama and tension and a bit of simplistic philosophy thrown in too all culminating in a terrible ending br br simply it's trash br br before i saw this tv film i didn't think i would ever have any film that i thought was the worst i had seen but after i finished watching this i knew that from then on if anyone asked me what the worst film i had ever seen was i could say without the second coming br br avoid,negative
i'm sure a lot of guys will love this movie the only woman who shows any balls unfortunate pun is made to look talk and seem like a guy the other 2 women are portrayed either as sexual objects with one thing on their mind sex being sexy with sex as their only and skill or as freaked out pretty little who's any strength and professional authority they had before all hell broke lose doc the only strength has in the end is the result of some advice from a big strong man besides my negative gut reaction as a feminist i have to give the camera work props and ethan hawke is great in the very first scene after that his performance loses steam empty entertainment for a brain that wants to take it easy at least the film the subject of the of good bad in the criminal mind,negative
great book poorly done movie cheesy performances and contrived situations make this movie a sentimental bore fest flat and uninspired work from most of the actors leaves this film in the after school special category no doubt there is a lot of talent to be in this cast and crew but something went horribly wrong the very talented gretchen mol attempts to pull this film out of the but even she can't seem to rise above the silly dialogue feels like everyone just it in even the makeup ages 20 years over the course of the film looks amateurish and crude don't waste your time on this go read the book,negative

i was extremely excited for this movie my expectations were under control because i read the book first i expected differences what i didn't expect were how great the differences were starting off by the characters physical appearances like lack of n amanda not being a brunette lol but i let that go the character developments were not there at all you didn't have time to love amanda character and you couldn't feel for her or for john when they first separated i thought the two weeks were rushed and i hated that she left first then him it took the emotional away and why did they change tim from the book why did they make him a dad instead of a brother and why did they make him old looking and the movie lacked that intense moment when they find out what happens at the end didnt want to spoil it lol but for those who watched it u know what i mean and did they change the ending in the book it was heartbreaking and emotional and it on character's decision did they twist it it just made it look like a rushed ending it was terrible thats what disappointed me the most the ending of the book should have been exactly the same,negative
my mother frank begins as a warm comedy about a middle aged catholic woman frank short for francis played by cusack who shakes herself out of the by as a student in her son's university most of her friends and family are horrified not least her son matthew who is busy falling in love with his best girlfriend rose meanwhile frank has raised the of her english sam br br matthew is utterly as david relaxed and natural in the role even when the character's uptight he valuable the audience through some of the film's more awkward broad comedy moments not long after the half way point first time writer director mark expertly his film into darker emotional territory and gives cusack a real chance to shine br br the supporting cast is full of familiar and welcome faces nicholas bishop and all the principals including a more animated than usual sam are excellent while it a little towards the end my mother frank delivers more than it promises and is a genuine australian crowd,positive
this opens with the company credits us it s by world international network i knew i d seen this company credit before but t remember where but knew it was at the start of a really bad movie i d seen so i seriously thought about changing channels only thing was i d seen every film on the other channels which is one of the problems of being an imdb reviewer what the hell i thought it won t really matter if wanted is good or bad because i ll still be able to review it for this site br br as i expected wanted t all that good it s a plot i d seen so many times too many times before involving a fugitive on the run a bit like the incredible hulk tv series without the shirt ripping jimmy crosses the mob in an entirely contrived way and goes on the run and in an entirely contrived manner finds himself working at a catholic school have you noticed an used description in the last sentence entirely contrived is the answer let me repeat for the hard of thinking that this is an entirely contrived film where everything relies on coincidence another problem i had was the school run by the church it s far too compassionate and kind i m led to believe these type of make look like a country club i m saying this is a fact but when the head priest looks like the spitting image of donald you do feel there s a large amount of sugar going on br br to be honest despite the ridiculous plot twists etc wanted t really a bad thriller though it s a terribly good one either i never really had the urge to switch it off no matter how contrived it became which is an under hand compliment to the movie,negative
if you want to see a true thriller rent this it's not from the director or screenwriter of scream doesn't feature overacting tv actors passing off as stars and is not a run of the mill special effects bonanza instead you'll get a top notch edgy very strong in violence yet thrilling,positive
ok the other reviewers have pretty much covered the main points of this great little gem i e the story started out in life as material for buster keaton's silent classic 7 chances comedy or acting in any genre for that much is merely a scene and lines that someone else has written and performed before if it's not a totally original creation here we have the stooges essentially doing material that was written and performed by someone else and yet for a low budget short time span of a film they're handling things just fine regardless of what the credits say on their films real know that they had a lot of on lines and direction they took their work as seriously as a surgeon does a vital operation words spoken by himself during a documentary about the boys here what appears to be their usual over something so simple as getting married is actually organized chaos every line is perfectly timed with a related physical action how many comedians are around today that can claim such most obviously the seinfeld crew but none others that i've seen in the last 35 years of watching tv the critics will always the stooges or laurel hardy and others but then again who ever remembers the names or what they said simply watch laugh and enjoy,positive
let's not beat about the bush here taylor undoubtedly slick movie has little to make it stand out from the biopic genre other than jamie exceptional career making performance remember the year they handed the special effects oscar to the terminator 2 they should do the same with this year's best actor br br that ray story is worthy of filming is not in indeed the many flashbacks to his traumatic childhood are well handled and used but for a life so unique the film seems incredibly formulaic and familiar it follows the of a flawed almost to the letter and exploitation women and drugs recording band yeah yeah yeah and surely there was more humour in his life than we're treated to here br br i appreciate music yet where neatly cut would have kept the story rolling himself with near full length of too many songs in in the recording studio in concert and for non they begin to act like a cinematic this may seem like harsh judgement on a music biopic but with a as extensive as we need a taste not the whole dish otherwise we'd buy the albums br br intrigued as i was i at my watch more than once so for all brilliance maybe ray would have been better served as an hbo two,positive
let me start by saying you know a film is poorly run when extras make the cover with that said anyone who says this is the worst film ever is being dramatic and anyone who says that the film is great is completely the film is what it is and what is that a modest budget 4 million i studio sequel the film isn't terrible but for road house fans it will be a disappointment and that brings me to problem one just as dirty dancing wouldn't been what it was without road house isn't the same without him the lead lacks depth character and to carry the film i feel that the lead was poorly cast and the producers should have bent over backwards to get patrick to do it if they were gonna do a sequel the other cast was uneven with outstanding actors like will along side day players who couldn't act there way out of a paper bag busey who i have seen do great characters seemed like he just it in ellen was played well except for not being believable at all as a raised chick the agent at the first bar was hot and a good actress yet her part was small and undeveloped the writer totally missed all opportunities to add depth and interest to the story and characters instead for a base one dimensional film which leads me to the biggest problem the script i got a bad feeling when the credits rolled and there were three script writers separated by an and and an it looked very amateur and that is what the writing was i heard the original script was better and then a rewrite was done and the hard core sucking began some parts of the film to watch for are during the first undercover meeting the obvious drug deal under the table hey lets meet at a crowded bar i will pull a block of coke out of my jacket and you pull cash out then we will slide them under the cocktail table wait make sure to look cool when you look left and right to make sure no one is looking second i love it when someone gets shot in the chest and then you see him sitting up happy as a 10 minutes later there are some nasty editing cuts towards the end of the film especially during fight scenes and when the main character is chasing thru doors and runs into a which brings me to the realism of the training i won't both to get technical but jumping thru doors isn't standard training nor do typical female agents who bust their to make it in a male oriented field act like weak characters boring thanks for the view heir director there is other stuff i could teach a course at a school about it the up fighting the dialogue the recycled story etc but aside from all that you just cannot like ex mr he totally lacks the humble that made mr patrick such a bad ass he just strikes me as one of those 5 foot nothing actors who think they are a bad ass but just like van he runs into a real bad ass chuck in van don't case and he gives him a lesson about therefore that i feel is the major of the film if you are a bad ass you are a bad ass you don't have to try example if you are a pretty boy who tries to hard to prove you are a bad ass among other things then well you are why your audience the average joe will not rent this film and if they do they will write reviews like this,negative
i finished watching mandy lane about an hour ago and felt the urge to come straight home and get up here to warn anyone that's about to spend money on the dvd don't br br the supporting characters are shallow the failure of acting is higher than that of matthew movies and up until the end twist the plot is everything but obvious in nine out of ten you can see the next scene coming 5 minutes before it starts the whole movie is more or less without motive or message and the half way revealing of the murderer just plain out kills what little interest you might have left at that point what could have saved this shallow tedious movie is some decent splatter or at least gore worthy of the genre slasher it fails there as well br br if you need a background movie to a party that you can jump in and out of without missing anything i recommend buying all the boys love mandy lane br br if you're looking to sit down and actually concentrate your eyes on the screen for more than 15 seconds i don't,negative
this is a very noir kind of episode it begins with jim returning from a weekend trip with a new girlfriend the recently divorced karen mills pat daughter in law of john huston who knew a few things about noir film and her daughter when they arrive karen goes in the house while jim picks up her daughter from the back seat and carries her up to her room he then discovers karen has disappeared without a trace of course he calls dennis and when the police arrive they see no sign of karen but find her next door neighbor murdered in the so of course that makes jim an immediate suspect br br this is a great little mystery and the first half of the story is shown by rocky asking jim to go over the story once again rocky suggests that by jim telling him the story he might remember a little detail that he didn't think was important at the time but now might lead to a clue as to what happened it's a really well written scene and the transition of the rocky character from a to a concerned parent it also goes a long way to show that rocky isn't just some clueless old man either as he says you come to me because i'm your father and i'm smarter than you this is one of those times where we see where jim got his br br this episode also features an appearance by lara parker who played in the dark shadows series and went on to play laura wife in the incredible hulk series a few years later she looks terrific here br br this episode also marks the first mention of the crime family a name that would keep popping up on the files almost whenever they needed a mob family this time its vincent who helps br br lt tom makes his first appearance on the series and dennis is quietly from a police lieutenant that he was on the earlier season one episodes to a police i guess they figured it would be better to have dennis less powerful and add some conflict between jim and the police frankly they were right though i prefer the later lt to lt br br not a lot of the typical humor in this episode but a good mystery with a lot of heart,positive
i first saw apocalypse now in 1985 when it was broadcast on british television for the first time i was shell shocked after seeing this masterpiece and despite some close competition from the likes of of the ring this movie still remains my all time favourite nearly 20 years after i first saw it br br this leads to the problem of how i can even begin to comment on the movie i could praise the technical aspects especially the sound editing and cinematography but everyone else seems to have praised rightly too these achievements to high heaven while the performances in general and robert duvall in particular have also been noted and everyone else has mentioned the stark imagery of the long bridge and the montage of the boat traveling after passing through the border br br how about the script francis ford coppola is best known as a director but he's a genius as a screenwriter as he was as a director i said was in the past tense because making this movie seems to have burned out every creative brain cell in his head but his sacrifice was worth it in john original solo draft we have a script that's just as insane and disturbing as the one on screen but involvement in the screenplay has a narrative that exactly mirrors that of war check how the screenplay starts off all and macho with a star turn by bill who wouldn't have looked out of place in the green but the more the story progresses the more shocking and insane everything becomes so much so that by the time reaches the audience are watching another film in much the same way as the characters have into another dimension when coppola states this movie isn't about vietnam it is vietnam he's right what started off as a patriotic war to defeat communist in the mid 1960s had by the film's setting the trial suggests it's 1970 had changed america's view of both the world and itself and of the world's view of america br br it's the insane beauty of apocalypse now that makes it a of cinema and says more in its running time about the brutality of conflict and the of politicians what did you do in the vietnam war mr president than michael moore could hope to say in a lifetime i've not seen the version but watching the original print i didn't feel there was anything missing from the story which like all truly great films is very basic in fact the premise can lend itself to many other genres like a western where an army officer has to track down and kill a colonel who's leading an war party or a sci fi movie where a un assassin is to eliminate a fellow un soldier who's leading a resistance movement on mars though this is probably down to joseph original source novel br br my all time favourite movie and it's very fitting that i chose this movie to be my one review at the imdb,positive
i would like to know the real name of the where scenes from the movie were filmed it is truly beautiful and back to and 30's architecture like the hotel del i know it was on either big bear lake or lake and would like to hear if it is still in existence as for the movie itself it is truly amazing that jane was even nominated for an academy award this must have been a period when she was well liked by her academy peers it really would have been interesting to get a true impression from and the other actors in this movie regarding the script the script of this movie like the recent kevin movie with a message in a bottle is so unbelievable that it it limits the credibility that the actors can bring to their parts rock hudson can be forgiven he was never a great actor was able to get by mostly on his looks and didn't get credible roles until later in his career pretty is the exception but must have been forced to take this movie through or the studio system,negative
although i enjoy steve work the almighty like so many other overdone films turned out to be a lot worse than i hoped it would be br br this turned out to be a cheesy family movie the kind that employ famous comedian to improve their image but ultimately fail to deliver br br the usual humour is almost absent from the movie and though he did make me chuckle a few times there was nothing hilarious about him in the almighty br br his 3 kids although were probably somehow important for a biblical character were really quite useless in the movie and terrible actors even his wife was somewhat of a third leg for such a simple storyline br br spending so much money on making a comedy was a huge mistake although career might profit from this movie there's no real reason to go see it br br if only there was a little less of his family a little more of carell molly shannon and maybe some other snl cast it could have actually been a lot more entertaining br br 4 10 for a few chuckles here and there,negative
i couldn't help but the entire premise of cat in the brain because it explains a director's going mad seeing people murdered from past movies he has made even mundane activities such as cooking a meal in the or running a of water some horrific from a film in the past director fulci playing himself is directing ghosts of and can not seem to his mental well being from constant murder he seeks help from a psychiatrist who instead uses work as a method to a series of innocent people the director into thinking that perhaps he's responsible br br this is obviously a film fun at image while exploring the themes of how such a profession which produces so much death and destruction rarely could mold and shape a legacy the film features pretty much a wrap around story surrounding non stop graphic violence with every possible way to kill a woman expressed in grisly detail this has a shower murder hitchcock never could direct or probably want to the film's the mental state of fulci i know during the running time reality and cinematic fiction have and fulci can find no escape the ending explaining the old cliché it's only a movie couldn't work any better than it does here boat says excellent touch and he off i can only wish this was his final film because that's a perfect close if there ever was one david l thompson is the deranged psychiatrist planning to kill his wife kennedy is a cop fulci fears had a family murdered by the fiend br br the ultra violence in the film features plenty of unique ways to take a head off such as the door to a chest a a chainsaw and the most brutal violence from nasty chainsaw activity as a dead body is to pieces how a chainsaw work on a fits beautifully in one nightmarish sequence the most shocking use of a chainsaw is when a little boy gets decapitated the opening scene with the puppet cat away on brain is a the scenes which are spliced within the film featuring a horrified fulci looking on are obvious but i couldn't help but enjoy this anyway,positive
la 2005 br br a completely unique take on silent cinema in this fairy tale like story by beautifully shot in black and white and practically without dialog la is a feast for the eye and a must for lovers of german cinema with most of the to the works of fritz lang and br br 'the city without a sin is ruled by mr tv he has taken the inhabitants voices and is in total control of all spoken words and images forcing everyone to eat his own brand of tv food mr tv is not just a he is the of evil and even the appears as a symbol a number of times he secretly works on a device to control all the citizens minds through his television for this purpose he kidnaps the only one left with the voice a beautiful singer but a tv witnesses the kidnapping and to an old tv in the mountains in order to halt mr tv's evil plans br br the production design is stunning with beautiful sets and imagery although shot primarily with the basic language of silent cinema also adds a number of fresh techniques of his own like a combination of and animation techniques everyone talks with each other through text usually floating near their mouths the they talk the larger the characters the themselves can be pushed away or crushed in the opening sequence we see a book titled la that opens and a city of paper rises from the pages there are hardly any references to it's constantly which gives the film a very un feel while the surreal setting suggests any large city in the with only some of the songs revealing the film's background br br the pace is swift and there is so much happening on screen it's hard to keep track of the film's surreal narrative not only beautiful to look at we're also given a few messages about media corruption and but they are one of the most original films i've seen in years a delight br br the film was shown as the opening film at the 2007 br br camera 9 10,positive

to the guy who the idea for i have one thing to say thank you sir combines the big budget sci fi of star trek the motion picture with the cheap horror thrills of phantasm and tops it all off with t and some real at that and best of all it's actually a good movie it me that someone actually justified a mainstream movie that is a vehicle for a hot chick to appear naked on screen for an hour and a half to producers god bless you all of you who were involved br br steve plays the american commander of an international space mission sent to investigate crew finds an alien inside the and inside that they find three naked people in suspended animation two guys and a hot broad may well to make a long story short they're space vampires naked space vampires they trash the crew except for who decided that he had to let the hot chick out of her display case because the part of his brain that controls his nut told him it was the right thing to do the wings it back to our big blue ball in an escape meanwhile another space crew has discovered his ship floating dead in space and has brought the three space of the living dead martians back to london and that's when people start turning into and s t in general just starts way out of hand too damn fast br br teams up with the caine peter of the british s a s to track down our naked who is having one hell of a time sucking guys off left and right discovered that he has a mental link with that allows them to track her down with the ultimate goal being to blow her ass away and wreck her and her big space that sucks up the energy of the people that the attack will they succeed in time minor spoiler yes br br wow what can i say but wow this damn movie really works i can't believe they got actual british actors like morris a clockwork orange and patrick stewart man alive or some such title to appear in this film all the actors are good direction is good and really shines during the last half where we see the fantastic of london special effects are no either for 1985 this movie must've been the s t as far as fx goes all the effects are fairly impressive and there's a wide range of talent on display here in makeup effects light shows and very nice space scenes with some good old fashioned and painting very nicely done there's even some gore and bloody shots for all the horror out there br br is a great film for anyone who has nostalgia for when popular films on the were made with 100 love from start to finish the creators of the movie really made sure all the were covered and the end result is a fun affair that doesn't let you turn away because the proceedings are just too good looking real solid entertainment here 8 1 2 out of 10,positive

when the net was first being advertised the ads made it look ridiculous then when i saw it it was actually quite good angela bennett sandra spends her days working on the computer and has never gotten to know her neighbors then through a series of events her identity gets by a of shadowy people and she can't prove that she exists br br some parts of the movie are a little bit far fetched you'd probably know which parts if you saw the movie still it's a good look into what the existence of the internet may have on unsuspecting people i do recommend it,positive
i have always liked the carry on films with their double meaning sexual innuendo dialogue and moments of slapstick comedy but i can see why the critics give this one two stars basically many british people are gathering on a coach to go on a spanish holiday to an island called to the palace hotel what they didn't know is that it is not completely built plus they have to share with their they have crap draws and many other complications and complaints that the owner peter putting on quite an amusing accent e g peace sounding like the bad p word starring sid james as kenneth williams as stuart charles as joan as barbara as kenneth connor as stanley blunt an apparently crap i personally can't remember who he is jimmy logan as bert june as evelyn blunt jacques as a ridiculous character not as memorable as her usual bernard as brother bernard sally as lily carol as jack douglas as harry and rowlands as miss i admit it is not great but there are just enough dialogue gags and of course in the shower and going to to her bum with that iconic and later a rapid rip off of her okay,negative
first i don't see how the movie is on any best list or how it won any awards compared to la which is also on a best list la is gold this movie lacked so many things on so many different levels but i can't quite explain why i disliked it so much the lead actor was annoying i felt as though i never knew what was going on and i was bored even though this was supposed to be some worthwhile life change that pierre was starting i wanted it to end as soon as possible why did it have to be his sister and cousin ugh and why did get mean he just turned mean and also was it me or did i miss the whole purpose of what that guy in black was all about who were all those people playing music in the big basement of the big warehouse why did they have all that weird equipment and the guns and all those extra rooms for people to live in i mean this in all seriousness but does incest happen a lot in french culture european culture i took 5 years of learning about the culture and i never heard anything about that,negative
when a loser teen is bitten by an he becomes the superhero br br superhero movie is the latest spoof movie to hit the screens sadly however despite the presence of david who was involved with airplane top secret and the naked gun movies it still suffers from the fault most recent spoofs have mainly it's more dumb than fun the fault mainly lies with the gags it's simply not funny enough some of the jokes do work such as the nail gun scene but other parts simply fall flat the x men spoof for example or the whole sequence blazing this isn't one of the key things about the best spoof movies like airplane is that although the dialog is extremely funny the cast for the most part play is completely straight this makes it even funnier even when there is simple dialog in the there may well be funny things happening behind the cast again funny the other key thing is that they all have a plot of sorts to hang the gags on br br the recent trend seems to be to take scenes from various movies then try and spoof them as a result the so called plot of these movies very rarely exist another flaw these movies have is that some of the scenes were actually funny in the original versions and in most cases even funnier than the spoof scene the cast try to get into the spirit required but with a lot of unfunny dialog and scenes it's hard to get worked up about it br br as recent spoof movies go it's not as bad as epic movie date movie or the awful meet the but considering that some people involved here have made good funny movies in the past it's nowhere near good enough,negative
is brilliant and is one of the best film and camera guys in the business so it should come as no surprise that x is an almost perfect filming of the most gut wrenching story ever seriously if i could have figured out some way to climb inside my video i would have pierre to within an inch of his life no one has the right to be that self absorbed and that stupid both at the same time except maybe in emily heights after spending minutes with pierre i need a large glass of never have i been so angry at a main character ok having said that x is a stunning movie with one of the few totally honest sex scenes i've ever seen in any film which means another piece of brilliant filmmaking and i'm talking graphic here by the way x will beat the hell out of you though so make sure you're up for it if you decide to watch it,positive
this movie was one of the best i have ever seen just the other day i was reminded of this movie by something on tv it came back to me like a over i have never been more touched by a movie than by this one after the movie was over i actually could not quit crying for about 2 hours no movie has ever moved me that way before i was 15 at the time of the movie and have not seen it since but am hoping i can find a copy to buy so that i can watch it whenever i want to if someone suggests you see this movie with them go you will not be disappointed br br peggy,positive
it may not have had the big budgets celebrities or of scream urban legend or i know what you did last summer but tales had one thing these three movies lacked true horror br br this film the subject of urban legends a year before the titled and less than enthralling urban legend did it was intriguing masterfully scripted and logical in a way i know what you did last summer could only dream of finally it held its focus and finished with a while scream and died br br what's most exciting about the film is the variety of horror that the writers and directors achieved the story of teenagers around a was classic dread at the unknown but certainly expected doom that them in the forest but the tales themselves are where the movie really br br the opening sequence is pure fast paced urban myth it's based on a popular legend and the director plays on this with the style and pace of the action making it more enthralling because we know what's going to happen br br the first tale is a straight forward thriller based on another popular myth we don't actually realize this until the end both because it so well into the story and because the action keeps our attention being the thriller of the trilogy this one plays off our fear of the unknown and includes several well done jump sequences that don't feel nearly as cheap or as those in movies like scream or urban legend br br the second tale is more suspense this time though the characters still don't know what's going on we do and this provides the horror no need for cheap thrills here br br the final tale contains elements of the supernatural and uses a creepy atmosphere to scare the viewer because we can relate so easily to the characters and their situation our fear comes from their intensity and what they can't explain this is the true ghost story of the trio br br i didn't expect to enjoy tales when i rented it i figured that if i didn't like its more acclaimed bigger budget counterparts how could i like it br br the truth is though this film succeeds where the others fell far short of the mark,positive

i'm having as much fun reading the user comments as i did watching the movie it seems that this is the classic either love it or hate it movie and i have to say that i not only am on the love it side i'm going on a to say it this my favorite movie ever thank heavens i found it in the first place almost impossible to find i was lucky about ten years ago to record it off a late night channel of course my liking of sellers may make me a bit biased but i can't see how anyone with a dry sense of humor like me can not be in love with this flick the plot is great but perhaps as a previous poster said maybe the reason why it's not a widely known movie upset the medical field the acting is great i can see why some may say the acting was horrible but that's what made this movie so great it's total tacky and the humor is gut i'm proud to say i have watched this film no less than about 20 times and have pretty much every line this film is genius,positive
i could never imagine i would start loving movies like this after seeing i decided to check his other movies perhaps looking for something similar the second movie i watched was one after which i realized what kind of cinema i'm now in no wonder why i got immediately it is a simple touching and brilliant piece of cinema i pay my respect to the director br br this movie shows that it's not the amount of money makes film good it's all about what the director wants to show and how successful he is in doing this the story is very simple a typical of a typical daily life moreover shown in a very simple way the movements of camera also the impression and the feeling of the movie i give a top rating to this film and waiting to see other films,positive
this movie is just crap i cant put it differently since the very beginning one knows is going to be crap br br the story dialogue acting special effects make up pretty much everything sucks i like vampire movies and i know they will never be oscar winning movies but this one is not even worth seeing i can't believe how somebody produced this thing br br it's not even about vampires it's more about a dream reality experience the development of the movie is incoherent the motivation of the characters is doesn't exist everything seems like a big joke maybe that's what they tried to do but i sincerely doubt it i wish i knew what they tried to pull but it just it's definitely one of the worst movies i've ever seen in my life and i've seen many bad movies but nothing compared to this please make yourselves a favor and do not watch this br br p s it's also full of clichés p s 2 bad script bad directing bad cinematography p s 3 i bothered commenting on this as a favor to everyone,negative
running out of time is probably as close to a perfect film as you're ever likely to see out of hong kong all the elements click a terrific script by french writers and that even manages to the odd cliché imaginative direction by to and excellent central performances by andy and wan the latter displaying his great comic timing to wonderful effect without ever crossing the line into parody especially in his reactions to his abysmal skills the supporting cast is fine too with making a strong impression in a tiny role and even the often lee looking remarkably and very like a bald andy it in to good effect it's best not to know too much about the plot going in beyond the basic set up – with only a few weeks to live in a criminal game with cop with no easily apparent motive – and just sit back and enjoy the ride it's certainly worth the fare it also has one of the most perfect love stories in recent movies and played in a mere three scenes the second bus ride is one of the most magical moments of film making i've seen in ages there's also a fine score by raymond wong as well the most fun playing cat and mouse at the movies in years,positive
i have to admit that out of the many many thriller movies i have seen this has to be one of the worst i was shocked to discover that this piece of work had a 1 5 budget when it started i thought that the opening sequence was pretty good fairly standard for this kind of film but pretty good anyway but as the film progressed i began to feel distinctly uncomfortable with the lack of pace that i was seeing each sequence seemed to take hours the reason for this could have been that by now the film had already bored me to tears nothing was happening other than endless with confusing flashbacks and the occasional fit of bad temper well after through what felt like a lifetime of these scenes we finally reached the big finale an all singing all dancing of how lack of imagination can completely ruin what could have been a good film br br overall i found this movie predictable and tedious and i would not recommend this film to anyone other than those people i personally dislike but if you have a couple of hours to waste and you want to watch a thriller that is not even remotely scary this is the movie for you,negative
before i forget let me say the artwork in here is outstanding from garbage to the huge cruise ship the drawings are beautifully done if this wasn't animated critics would be the direction in here because it's really good br br to the story is picking through the garbage at the but the are slim while brooding at the next to a big ship in a he spots in his cage spots him too and you know his first comment the same one he always makes when he spots the cat anyway runs over opens the and says hello breakfast the window on his face and says you bad old the cat falls into the water br br the quickly back aboard ship into cabin grabs him and is ready to leave when there's at the door with her takes a beating as the old lady her pet bird once again but says i've dropped my glasses i can't see a thing without 'em heavens to where are those br br now has the upper hand and the normal cat trying to catch bird are on again like glasses most clever act was to take her glasses and paint a picture of on them so when she woke up and put them on she'd see the bird and think it was okay br br overall a very entertaining animated short that was a lot of fun to watch as you can tell by the quotes i love the dialog in some of these old cartoons,positive
i have to say this movie is absolutely amazing i don't understand why it got such a low rating it has romance music darkness and vampires also stuart did a great job of being the acting was great also normally i am not into that music well sometimes but i have to say in this movie the music fit it perfectly if you like dark movies about vampires this is definitely for you or even if you don't there is a love story to this but all i can say is one word amazing my rating is 10 out of 10 anyway i seriously suggest you watch it i remember not seeing this for years i watched it again about a year ago and im addicted to it again lol great movie,positive
where to start with the true story of richard a killer of eight in the 1960s director keith has worked on a few of the extremely low budget full moon releasing movies such as birth and here works from a script by at the time full moon regular don adams whilst the film seems like a accurate portrayal of the horrendous crime the script isn't great perhaps because the real were not terribly interesting despite the care that has been taken to make this authentic it of a cheap cash in of the acclaimed cinematic serial killer movies of the same period such as filmed in a dirty brown not quite for the most part and narrated by star doug cole the film fails to present the horror of the crime because the narration is irritating the distracting from the story and the crime though gruesome and to watch is merely that and no work seems to have occurred on what is pretty much a very poor quality camcorder viewing on the events there is no examination of the motivation or of life really just a cheap shot at a gruesome crime released by full moon there is little evidence of full better here charles band ignoring his own rule that his films feature fantasy killings e g dolls monsters and so on and not quite knowing what to do with this new reality incidentally band introduced a special label for these films called band has said that he regrets the period of full moon alongside entertainment whose creator j r and regular danny also speak very badly of charles band the era features uniform apple mac editing and brutal hand held camera filming very much like a home movie these qualities and whereas 3 for example managed to use these well is merely boring and gross,negative

the 3 stars are for phillip seymour hoffman nothing else and no one else in this movie deserves even a wee of a star well ok amy adams deserves a wee but the doesn't seem to be working so i'll stick with 3 tom hanks nothing julia roberts nothing mike do you see a trend yet aaron not a chance br br i could rant on for several about the way charlie war over history morality and so on but i don't think any such rant could the of aaron fans the rest of you beware spend your movie money elsewhere br br still if you're looking for a comment here's mine you can put hot on a pile of garbage but it changes nothing garbage is garbage and so is charlie war,negative
saw this at the video store and thought i'd give it a try sounded like a good story and the cover looked good that was it the characters looked good and the actor who played was the most convincing though he didn't have any heavy time in the movie i find it really hard to give a movie a bad rating but this is one in a minute number that gets it my book as the movie went along i kept wanting it to get better but to no it was good the sound and lighting was good but the acting in this film killed it for me it was like watching a low grade soap opera i just kept saying i can't believe they released this move like this i several times out of sheer that the acting was that bad there's so much i want to say but i'll just say this everything else for the most part was good it was the acting as a final cut that really did this film in,negative

very typical of the time and in its own way no less funny than many of his later works and why is that there is nothing to be or shocked about and i guess any such effect is more than intentional no the great humor from an underlying almost surreal absurdity that is woven into the scenery the characters' nearly complete lack of taboo it's the same kind of you find in his later works though you'll find it in a more rough version here he's building up for masterpieces to come but is not yet there br br the sole reviewer who commented on this movie before i did claimed that it had to be a very group of people who'd find this movie hilarious i do,positive
one of if not the most visually beautiful film i have ever seen in my life there is so much to learn here in how to play with the camera color costumes and set up a shot the work that went into the official film web sites in english and french also give you a good idea of the sheer beauty contained in the film,positive
hard to get in depth with this kind of stuff since there is absolutely no existing shred of even partial reason for watching it let alone expressing an opinion on it i don't know anything about this watched it for a laugh and stayed for the fake breasts apparently it's an sequel to party massacre which i did enjoy as a fun slasher massacre looks like a late soft core porno and not surprisingly chicks like fritz and samantha phillips prolific t a actresses are in this plenty of and not much else a group of 20 something high school two random guys and the fat stupid comic relief become stranded in the country and find a house where they plan to stay the night the recently escaped party killer is in the area and begins killing them off there's no gore or originality and i wouldn't say the nudity is a real selling point since this is just about as boring a slasher movie can be absolutely terrible,negative
this 1950's is so bad it's unintentionally funny tom portrays dr gerard a scientist who is turning natives into a monster using voodoo his poor wife played by mary ellen kay is being held captive by her who has no time for her but threatens to kill her if she leaves him along comes english as a greedy who has already killed a man to find treasure in the jungle her idiot boyfriend portrayed by lance fuller is along on the they hire touch later mike of fame as a guide english is a terrible actress but hey no one else in the cast were turning in academy award winning performances either touch i'm sorry i can't even type the name without cracking up i mean what the gave the only half way decent performance of the bunch and that's saying a lot the monster is only seen briefly and the ending is predictable to say the least i would say this movie falls into the it's so bad it's almost good category of movies it's good on a rainy night when nothing else is on the tube,negative
when the noble clan is by the clan loyal escapes with his eight year old son and his daughter they are by the who serves the god a vengeful spirit imprisoned in the giant stature into the side of a local mountain ten years later and seek vengeance against lord but are captured in the attempt and sentenced to die desperately attempting to save her master threatens with the god's only to be to death for her efforts a vain cruel narrow man orders statue to be destroyed in order to crush any last of hope among the remaining but the god who has been silent has other ideas br br is an enthralling timeless deeply moving fairy tale produced on a respectable budget it is a film about values the values of of justice of decency of loyalty of self sacrifice and of love it is about and rule and of the consequences of failing to live up to the responsibility that rule these are things that are not talked about much in our times except by like william but are nonetheless relevant and shows us why br br is a perfect example of why japanese cinema is so glorious the values listed above have relevance for those involved in this film as they do for many a japanese filmmaker there is no lip service no no irony here instead there is an authentic effort to a world where these values can once again have life and to show what happens when they fall into just compare or the lone wolf and series or any kurosawa film to the kill bill b to see what i mean br br in a film whose talent is so uniformly excellent i would merely like to point out master score the talent and beauty of actors and and the stunning portrayal by her death scene is one of the most moving and meaningful that i have ever witnessed,positive
sorry after watching the credits i thought this would at least be a decent homage to sf actors br br boy was i wrong br br the direction and story telling in this are terrible i have never been so insulted by a production br br i have great respect and love for many of the actors in this film but have to say they were br br if you haven't seen this yet do yourself a favor and stay away these are not only two hours you won't get back but they will also ruin your respect for some actors you may once have enjoyed,negative
i am a huge fan of northern exposure men in trees is a complete knock off of northern exposure there's the city folk from new york stuck in a remote backwoods town joel she immediately doesn't hit it off with a local jack maggie the town only has one pilot who is not often available is only one radio show and the entire show is about quirky people with sincere and odd relationships too many parallels just like northern exposure except one obvious has been altered in each character i'm bored give me something new to think about br br on the upside the writing is pretty good but if this was a school project it would certainly have earned the of br br perhaps people who love this show were from the dedicated creativity and hard of joshua brand and john,negative
okay i that a film by about for would be a disaster waiting to happen but little did i know how so very painful it would be a little known fact is that have always made exceptionally fine propaganda films the official cinematic campaign has produced rare and lasting gems that the mormon community including the wonderful short film in the snow which ended up making the rounds as an educational film in the late 70's then there's neil masterful br br however the success of these films largely on the fact that they didn't focus on or any specific mormon instead they to focus on a universal theme and deal with it on a basic human level god's army any of and runs into the stilted and world of the while this might be enough to alienate anyone but the most devoted mormon director richard as a filmmaker and his juvenile approach to storytelling are sufficient grounds to judge god's army unwatchable by almost any standard br br own wooden acting sets the tone for his army of the least interesting you're ever likely to meet of course the sorry performances aren't helped any by pathetic script he should be given credit for not avoiding some of the more controversial aspects of the church but as can be expected he conveniently frames these in a sympathetic light it should also come as no surprise that most of the answers to the darker side are addressed with little other than faith at one point an african american is by a black couple for joining a church that was up until 1978 some ten to twenty years after nearly every in the most parts of the deep south had already done so instead of addressing the racist history perhaps the spot in mormon which even church leaders don't defend anymore troubled character instead joseph smith's murder an obvious and perhaps outrageous to top off this with third jokes passing as comic relief and you have a strong case for the revival of silent films br br if you knew little about before watching this film you might become prone to avoiding them at all costs if you are mormon this film offers absolutely nothing to be proud about,negative
i saw the film many times and every time i am more and more disappointed which is shame because the films from ex are usually very good the shame here is that tried to make film about the place and people it has no idea my self coming from the found this film disappointing simply that the characters are not really understood and not truly portrayed to understand the mentality of a person from ex you need to know their background way of live what makes them cry and laugh and the director of the film didn't took that as when we ex make films lots of symbolism is build in it which makes the characters and likable and mostly portraying the truth if it is based on true story the films like village pretty flame and no mans before the rain black cat white cat when father was away on business to who sings over there rare the masterpiece of the cinematography and nothing can compare to it not the half baked story of and studio as somebody from the mentioned the story jumps from one end of town to the other with no real connection i am sorry but when the film is made is not only for the american variety of viewers but for the rest of the world too and some of them live on the and too and to add insult to the injury half of the things are shoot in where i come from my shock when i saw the broad st of in the opening scene of the film when the bride is shoot from the sniper and what was that real footage of the news covering in the film anyway very disappointing as the truth is far away from the film shame that nobody the real people how is to live in under fire before they shoot the film book is one thing and real life is other and this film lets down both,negative
i have nothing at all against paul in fact hardcore 1979 is one of my very favorite films but some horror movie fans were in a when his original version of the exorcist prequel this one you're reading about right now as it turns out was by and when was to things up and make a new version that was more scary in my opinion some viewers were and became automatically up for hating take on the subject exorcist the beginning before the first frame of film was ever even for them to judge and i ought to know because i myself went into the theatrical premiere of beginning with stubborn arms and prepared for the absolute worst which i was sure had to come imagine my surprise when i found beginning to be much more serious than i ever could have conceived with a good performance from as a young version of father who was struggling with his faith in god it wasn't a great film by any means but it was nowhere near the garbage i had prepared myself for well in advance sight unseen br br well now i finally have seen the true garbage version and it's paul prequel to the exorcist it was relentlessly talky uninteresting and insipid troubled priest was nowhere near as interesting as he had been for me in film and the actor himself not as good in the part for all those who pointed out the obvious cgi effects in beginning guess what they're here in as well remember the silly ending in rendition which i'll also agree the rest of that movie well you're going to find that this ending from isn't a hell of a lot less lame br br let me also say that i the nonsense that's been presented by those who appreciate this film better than by saying that we're or cannot appreciate subtle film making as a person who stephen mtv fashioned mummy of and being a true fan of the very suggestive and old horror films of the and i can assure you this is not the case with me at least there was some degree of terror and exorcist type goings on in beginning this one here is just a real exercise in tedium and a great challenge even for the most of it's going to be quite interesting to hear horror fans try to convince themselves that prequel to the exorcist was as good as they'd already made their minds up for it to be in advance just as they were already pre to beginning the second they learned paul name was getting with the white out,negative
i was surprised after watching this piece of crap if you have seen an episode of tom and jerry in which jerry some onto him and becomes invisible than you are likely to see the same cartoons with added erotic a man becoming invisible and doing s i is the conclusion of the movie involving too much sex in a cartoon themed movie doesn't increase its worth and most of all i was surprised when the same cartoon ending was used to show up the mr invisible and that was really awful i must say drops off the rack and our very own mr invisible becomes visible watch and make a porno i bet you wont get bored br br 1 10 from me,negative
i was lucky enough to watch this film in the recently international film festival here i was actually able to watch another south korean film the power of but christmas in august caught my attention more the story is simple enough the usual boy meets girl or shall we say girl meets boy what made it special for me was how it was rendered we can say that the movie was quiet and endearing we don't have flashy and contrived romance here only two ordinary beings made wonderful by their friendship and love for one another i also loved how the movie used pictures as expressions of relationships past and present i wished that this was shown here as a regular film i'm sure it would call out to a bigger audience,positive
this abomination and the sequel one more time no thanks and the hideous jerry lewis disasters like don't raise the bridge lower the water why not just instead drove cinema owners to close their doors rather than be forced to run these films true in the 60s block of films was still on hapless suburban and country cinemas this means that in order to get a good film the cinema was forced to run like these i remember well in 1974 keen to screen on the roof or something good like that i was up in the united artists office by some salesman who a sheet of before me and now before we get to that one see ya date these ones first which basically means book these and we will give ya a tired hit this is how and why so many cinemas closed forced to screen and annoy their audiences with these line failures with lame comedians and bored talent cinema owners exhausted with arguing simply closed sold to a station and saw the cinema these days the same type of films i now you chuck and larry get to the 20 seat cinema 99 in a mega instead not much has changed freddy got anyone,negative
straight to video and with good reason its like the neighborhood kids putting on a play in the backyard but worse a young man don a farm in west virginia that has been for generations he decides to take a few friends to check the property out this used to produce good corn even during the great depression the secret being that the owner was murdering folks and the fields with their blood then hang their bodies out as scarecrows the special effects are pretty lame and the the horrible dialog is full of unfunny one liners and the banter so ridiculous the sound may better be turned off cheap gore and a of a horror flick along with in the cast cheek b w york and jessica,negative
take a subject i didn't know much about and make it exciting why don't you it so happens that back about 1979 director robert altman said that he didn't believe he had ever made a real movie and that he expected that one of these kids riding if he doesn't break his neck will make the first movie well i wouldn't put such an expectation on but he is a who has made a good movie of course he was forced by the nature of the film he was making to use existing footage and it is certainly a good thing that so much footage existed edited it together well with not your usual talking head shots of his colleagues as they are today the whole effect is post modern in the best sense but that has been done altman's hasn't quite come true what has done however is capture enough of the energy of those days that we can appreciate what it must have been like when modern was invented by the z boys this is all good i highly recommend,positive
this show had a promising start as sort of the opposite of but has developed into a shallow display of t a actually according to my little brother thats the only good part of the show br br the first season was by far the best it was new and interesting things just went downhill after that the only redeeming point of this show is the other actors are lack the characters lack depth and they seem to be incredibly selfish generally un likable people br br to quote a friend las vegas is like in a casino in my opinion thats way to generous was way better and much more realistic,negative
what makes this documentary special from a film making perspective is its which the audience to in the delight of gypsy music it the form of documentary while a of sound and movement that invites us to celebrate the primal similarity found within the traveling music of historically traveling peoples br br indeed the film itself is a single take of sweeping movement that travels the globe and transitions effortlessly from one culture to the next br br watching this film one's breath is taken away by the simple beauty in our common connection to music rhythm and dance if there is a more deeply spiritual flowing homage to the sound and movement of gypsy cultures it has yet to be filmed,positive
this is a little seen anti war film that has been ignored for too long the time is of 1972 the place is a typical suburban home somewhere in texas the oldest son has just comeback from vietnam and he is having a hell of time to the life he had left behind and the family does not know how to handle the problem i honestly don't think i'm when i say this is one the most heart wrenching war films i've seen the funny thing is that there are only a handful of combat sequences in the entire movie most of the story takes place inside a house over a period of a couple of days but the kind of war that takes place in this home is as intense as any real battlefield action the film does something that is difficult to accomplish somehow and his team have created a film that the entire vietnam experience and considering the similarities between vietnam and the current invasion of iraq the film is surprisingly relevant does a magnificent job with material he gets a lot of help from a hand picked cast martin sheen and kathy bates in particular are superb as the parents a truly moving film highly recommended,positive
nine out of nine people who watched this have themselves to be mentally for life no one should ever have to see this abomination the english language is poorly to express how utterly dreadfully atrocious this film is it's really not worth the plastic it's made of no greater crime has been committed by the human race in the entire history of creation never is there likely to be anything worse br br it was agreed that the scene involving the head of tommy and the young girl's was unbelievably sick and twisted in fact many of us have not yet from the ordeal and are currently sitting in the corner of the room sucking our thumbs and br br the fundamental question on everyone's lips however has to be why how is it possible for anyone to create such a monstrosity and then subject it to so many innocent people after viewing the trailer we thought that this film might be a laugh how wrong we were br br please sign the to rid the world of heads so that no other poor civilians be exposed to it please for the good of humanity,negative
this movie is sweet not just warm spirited and kind i found it only mildly funny and the premise is wildly improbable but the characters are so charming especially that they had my full attention right from the beginning and soon had my affection too br br bonnie hunt has done a great job in her directing debut and a good job with the writing as well i highly recommend this movie and will see it again i'm sure,positive
i was just watching a files marathon on court tv the episode was identical to the plot of this movie right down to the incest secret and the affair with the sister subplot i don't recall any based on a true story but the case does have written all over it apparently it chronicles the real homicide of ruby morris by her husband earl sentenced to 25 years to life for her murder just goes to show you truth can be stranger than fiction because i thought the lifetime plot was contrived and a more than a stretch as believability goes i'm with the other posters who said the acting was bad i didn't notice it with all of the players though it was really the lead character the daughter whose performance was bad,negative
the novel weapon which serves as the basis for this atrocious piece of garbage is one of the best thrillers to come down the in a long time the character of solo who is not supposed to look like a human is a wonderful creation and it was simply awful to see him reduced to just another terminator clone with mario van trying to act like a robot there is nothing worthwhile about this film br br why does hollywood insist on up the rights to excellent novels and then them there are so many things wrong with solo that listing them seems as unfair as a man with no legs to a game of avoid this awful film and seek out the 2 novels by robert mason that feature the awesome character of solo the books are weapon and an excellent sequel solo but don't pay any attention to this awful dreck of a film,negative
could easily have been better in fact maybe so much so that if the filmmaker hadn't tried even as hard as he did it might have actually been better br br on a good note the lighting was reasonably okay but pretty much everything else was lacking camera work yeah yeah i know that's supposed to be the style now poorly recorded audio and editing that looked like someone watched too many movies which are some of the worst edited movies to sum it up the movie seemed to be a for the director writer main character to get some young women naked put them in fake bondage and them while saying menacing things,negative
no really im not kidding around here folks and i so cant believe how many people here have given it really really positive reviews oh wait its the imdb comments section silly me its interesting to note that at this date there have not been enough votes to give this film a rating out of ten yet there are dozens of comments that rave about the film what does this mean i wonder anyway the script is terrible character change their personality and motivation and actions every scene in order to keep the movie running along at something that vaguely a pace it even dumb behaviour that was there too but the pure idiocy of the script any the characters displayed for instance karl is an order because there are two dead bodies in the desert and the killer is out here somewhere so he forces everyone to travel in order to find the killer orders and p everyone off when the hero spots something nasty in the darkness and warns karl karl tells our hero to stop being an idiot and that there's nothing out there so they are all going home next scene he is to let it go and must hunt down whatever it is it is just a joke yes the monster is very impressive but the crap that the humans say about it just tries to out its interesting aspects and the predator and alien rip off moments were very tedious and the ending the ending jesus the worst film i saw the year and i saw bug buster,negative
what a tribute to his father he set out on a quest to learn more about a man whom he knew little of and by the end of the journey i believe is content with what he learned and personally felt the film is 5 years in the making and a quarter of a century after his death louis i total commitment in his work consistent strong desire to build buildings that are meaningful to humanity and timeless to the whole world with insight into his life is proudly depicted by his son in the documentary my architect a son's journey br br the film is by no means an anthology of work there are plenty of books and that have records of louis projects and buildings this documentary works like a mystery writer director and co producer was searching for the man whom he briefly knew as his father br br the film is in chapters in heading west we're at the for studies at la california it's a sight worth integral concept of building and environment light for the scientists at work is amazing from a former colleague who worked with 35 years ago we hear about his attention to detail also how he could be certainly didn't words in his criticism a memorable scene is when the camera pulled back wide and we see around at the area of the a tiny figure like a child happily playing in the bowl of his father's hands br br the immigrant segment brought us to meet anne the architect who worked with and also bore him a daughter alex now at 80 return with film crew to the bath house project at new jersey was nostalgic in go to sea we get to see the for american wind orchestra all made of steel and meeting robert who was surprised by when he finally told him he's son was touched he said he had seen when he was six with his mom harriet and he was not to tell anyone that lou had a son it was a emotional moment of reunion br br like his father the traveled to and learned about the project that his father began but not realized he visited the wall and seeing his kept falling off being his head gave me a sense that he need not be jewish to be his father's son we continue with sitting down with his two half sisters at the family matters segment we also hear him with his mom at and from talking to previous office at his father's office we come to know how his father intensely worked and practically lived there sleeping on a carpet on the office floor and all br br the end of the journey brought us to india to the indian of management building talking with architect b v was a revelation in the end found a very much alive louis his father his spirits live within him this documentary is very much a tear for me i was eyed most of the time it was very touching and am in awe of the man the architect and his son and the women in his life besides his famous works and buildings louis i wanted to give his love to the world ' work and three families you might say he has three women in his life to keep his inspiration going as the architect at the capital of complex completed 9 years after death so noted louis has given the people of a lot spending time at understanding the culture of the place and people as well as giving them democracy through what he has achieved and for such a dedicated man usually the people close to him he'd often miss seeing it seems the price of being great comes with inevitable personal sacrifices br br this film reminds me of king the 1949 good dramatic story in b w with music by max based on novel with gary cooper as the architect who stands by his own ideals and patricia as the parallel supportive woman in his life br br,positive
i can't say if the is a ripoff of the cave because i haven't seen that i've seen the descent and that's not terrible but it is very hard to watch and so is this one hard to watch as in there's very little light and lots of fast motion so you're hard pressed to say what you're looking at there are times when i guess you're supposed to be scared judging from the music but scared of what bad camera work poor lighting if that's the case than this should be the scariest movie made the story is that a bunch of cave go to a cave in home of and make their descent but something is of course in there with them and what is it one guy says it's a wolf bear hybrid that is just before he gets ripped apart but whatever it is you can't see it and just when you think or hope the film is ending since the screen goes dark for a bit you see the two remaining the two women wake up somewhere in betty and and start trying to find their way out of wherever they are they do drink some water and start eating something until they figure out what it is and start and then the mystery of what's in the cave appears and you'll just be maybe maybe not dumb dumb dumb i think i'm pretty well done with cave movies at this point 2 out of 10,negative
it looked cool from the movie but after five minutes we weren't sure if it was a homosexual documentary of west side story without any female interest the film quality was poor and there was hardly enough gang fighting action to sustain even the person's interest for long enough to watch the entire film may god have mercy on the souls of both the actors and the filmmakers responsible for what i can only describe as my new one and only reason why i never will want to see or trust an australian made film again i have to write more so i will again say that the actors were so bad that i'm positive i could make a better movie with fifteen dollars and a box of please don't see this movie for your own sake,negative
while i can't say whether or not larry ever saw any of the old cartoons i would think that writing said cartoons file cards and some of the comics would count for something br br for fans of the old cartoon this is pretty much a of the same except with a few new characters and a more insane commander br br we still have all the old favorites too but on a personal note one thing that always irritated me was this duke in charge stuff when there are tons of other officers around instead br br the battle sequences are similar to the old series as well the main trick here seems to be the cgi it's overall pretty good if not a little over the top,positive
very simply they are all the episodes and not the original uncut nbc episodes it is not the complete first season all are edited to to 21 00 for meaning jokes are cut an extra commercial fade is included all of the harvey are not here very poorly done shame on a series i've been waiting for if you're a true die hard mama fan don't buy this and go to http com web main help service and send them comments on why we're unhappy on this butcher job to a classic sitcom,negative
this is one of a very few movies with terrific acting wonderful story line and worthwhile to watch it is about changes in life it is about how happiness can be found when one is true to it is about accepting and others it is about life challenges it is about coming to term with reality it is about courage it is about love both actresses are very true to their role the actresses had very good chemistry between one another in the movie this is the key of the movie that made the movie it is rare to see an independent film like this one one could tell the hard work that the film crew had to have while producing this movie i wish to see more movie from this producer writer see the movie you will love it,positive

stay away from this movie at all costs i was into watching this movie in a bet to see which one of us knew the t worst movie of all time needless to say this one won hands down it is long and drawn out and has no purpose or plot from what i can gather a movie about a killer kid raised from a that was grown outside the just has no place inside your vcr if you are extremely bored and have no life watch this movie but if you rather keep your sanity stay away,negative
having avoided seeing the movie in the cinema but buying the dvd for my wife for i had to watch it i did not expect much which usually means i get more than i for but utter utter i like i like the songs i have the old but this film is just terrible the stage show looks like a bit of a musical but this races along with songs following one another no characterisation the dance numbers which were heavily choreographed according to the extras on the dvd are just thrown away with only half the bodies ever on screen the dance chorus of north europeans appear on a small greek island at will while the set and set up of numbers would have cliff musicals in the sixties meryl see me i'm acting streep can't even make her usual effective in an over the top musical her grand piece 'the winner takes it is meryl at the met note to director it should have been shot in with the camera gradually showing distance growing between streep and brosnan some of the singing is awful on amateur night the camera cannot stop moving like bad mtv one can never settle down and just enjoy the music enthusiasm and characters but what is even worse is how this piece of has become the highest film in the uk and the best selling dvd to boot blair campbell and new really have reduced the uk to zombies critical anyone,negative
the review says that character is taut and frustrated and later that she could be the sister of character in ordinary people say what no way this lady was quirky from the start nothing like in ordinary people sorry br br next the goes on to say that sandy travis and jeff ben travis are 40 something year olds children of the 60s ms weaver must be dancing a i believe at the time she made imaginary heroes she was in fact years old she was born in 1949 br br perception aside this was a pretty good movie considering it was made by someone so young obviously weaver thought so and so did jeff daniels the young man playing tim was outstanding br br there are some critical comments i could make about the script such as that i never really got a good sense of why sandy travis missed her son her sort of blown apart behavior was perhaps by his death but that such behavior lasted of the way through the film i felt had more to do with her marriage her relationship with tim and where he really came from and other issues than from any mourning of her elder son ben's mourning was much more clear br br so matt travis was an did his mom think so too still a very watchable film what is becoming and is not that there are no roles for women over a certain age rather that what it takes is a director such as this one to be so clearly in love with an older woman ms weaver and to almost make his film an homage to her sort of an anti woody allen,positive

well now here's the thing for this movie to work you'll have to accept the following a woman who's murdered is alive again at the end of the movie a detective stops the dead woman's fiancée because a newspaper reporter asked him not to and that same reporter smitten by a good looking blonde into night court for suspicious behavior winds up getting married to her in exchange for the judge letting her off the hook are you following me on this i can't tell you how many times i and the picture to repeat scenes that just didn't make any sense in the end the blonde and the reporter richard remained married but i have no idea how they came to that decision in fact i can't figure out how the film maker came to the decision to make this flick oh i suppose there's some entertainment value here for just the sheer nonsense of it all but it would have been nice if even a couple of the pieces fit still i'm not ready to add this one to my top ten worst list i think that night club scene with the ladies might have saved it but why was it in the movie i just don't know,negative
this one started excellently the photography and audio are the best i've experienced in years okay months especially the use of and colours in single sequences is astonishing also making jennifer lopez most of her lines is an idea in itself but i'm not sure what wants to accomplish with that br br now for the the screenplay was awful part turned out to be irrelevant or totally worthless to the plot she seemed to star the movie only to sell herself and the the three seemed just too obvious the of the child carl was a psychologically too way to the motive which carl under and so on br br anyway the movie had great way of showing where comes from why is it that the most talented directors seem to emerge from india nowadays,positive
i really should give this stinker more credit that 1 star because the film has so many eye rolling lines that it's almost worth the price of the rental br br the acting if you want to call it that is so stilted and contrived that it makes ed actors appear life like sammy the lone black character must be husband in real life because he appears in her other films but he has zero acting ability his lines are priceless due to his absurd delivery though i suspect the intention was to create a sympathetic character his old man make up in her other turkey pushed to the limit is no budget junior high school quality with ball and white painted hair br br i cannot anyone actually buying this video unless people like to throw their own mystery science theater parties and need a copy of something like this on hand it really is beyond fear it's actually beyond funny,negative
lou sans plays a small town self employed rubbish collector and the of a time controlling machine who is secretly the niece of the town big shot after a girl dorothy runs into a misty cave why it's misty we never learn and emerges as a 30 foot giant is certainly a good sport and she doesn't bother trying not to look ridiculous it would've been impossible anyway yet the screenwriter is really cruel to this character turning her not only into a giant but a as well bosses around while creating havoc with the army troops who get called in but nothing funny is done with the transformation by attack of the 50 woman the previous year the film does feature lou in his final bow but provides little else the special effects are while the script needed funnier lines and the direction pacing 1 2 from,negative
this is the kind of film one initially to make up the numbers from video rental only to discover an under rated entertaining and enjoyable movie the opening sequence of the police arriving at a dark and rainy house the wife has committed murder or is it and the remainder of the film seeks to unravel what really happened ok the film is a bit campy but has good editing and dialogue professional acting often humorous and the very last scene with the facial expression is one of the best of its' kind definitely worth watching deserving at least a 7 or an 8,positive
this movie is not at all like city of god you might get the same feeling but it isn't there's no intense shooting nor intense drug scenes you get the idea if you ask me i think this film was a waste of time there are a lot of other films which gives 100 times better meaning and teaching than wooden camera yes i might be the only one to give a negative comment for this film but it's only in my opinion it's one of those films where i can get the feeling that i'll be blown away but when the credits start to role my friends and i all gave mutual looks and we all laughed at how ridiculous this movie was so to conclude this matter i advise not to watch it br br personal note making talk english was a big mistake in city of god they used their native language which gave the film much more power and reality,negative
usually i do not like movies with about aliens but k is different the actors are great in the movie especially kevin spacey played his character breathtaking the movie never fall to a lower level the suspense is always in the movie and you absolutely wanna know how it ends what's about you have to think a lot after the movie over the movie because there are a few open questions is robert porter or is only using robert body as a means of how can he see light and how can he know that much about but everybody can make his own end and can decide in what he wanna believe very good movie with an excellent kevin spacey,positive

goldie hawn in 1969 was best known for playing in television comedy shows in particular and laugh in where she was the cookie young blond she did make movies before flower the most notable being a walt disney feature the one and only genuine original family band but flower picked up on her character from laugh in and due to a good script by i a l diamond billy second partner based on an play she was able to develop the television character so that a real performance was fleshed out as a result ms hawn won an oscar for best supporting actress in 1969 and her career took off to such future hits as private benjamin and the first wives club although other stars of laugh in did well on television henry gibson has a recurring role as a judge on boston legal only goldie was able to have a career as a movie star br br on laugh in personality would show a that would be embarrassing occasionally she realized it and would laugh loud to cover but sometimes she just did not see her error example goldie is introduced to the 1950s variety show host gary moore and is told goldie this is mr gary moore she shakes his hand and says much to his confusion i've always wanted to meet mr john gary moore but as toni simmons it is quite different she is desperately in love with dr julian winston walter matthau a successful dentist who can never marry her julian has told her that his wife with whom he has had two sons and a daughter will never give him a divorce so at the start of the film toni tries to commit suicide by the gas of her but she is rescued by her neighbor sullivan rick a struggling who breaks into her apartment and turns off the gas br br toni is to live but she has sent a suicide note to julian tries to deliver a message to ignore the note but nurse assistant stephanie dickinson ingrid bergman won't stop work schedule to pass him the phone when calls instead julian finds the letter and races to apartment only to find her alive when supports her story that she tried to kill herself julian realizes the depth of her love and decides he must marry such a woman unfortunately toni has lies and believes in his wife and children you see julian has no wife and children since toni is a firm believer that she can't marry a man who would lie to her julian is stuck on a tree branch br br julian comes to solve it by getting stephanie to pretend she is mrs winston stephanie is opposed to it at first but on her own on her first free saturday she confronts toni at the record shop toni is at they talk and toni notices all the fine strengths of character and personality of stephanie and since stephanie has her two with her toni thinks they are kids toni tells julian they have to see who is the man that stephanie is supposedly going to marry so the lie starts for julian stephanie and toni soon a lover is given to stephanie in the form of friend and patient harvey jack is so sleazy stephanie him that toni feels that he is of stephanie br br and so it goes with one most caused by the well toni following another until the conclusion the script is full of first rate situations and one liners example julian to reward stephanie for lying about their marriage buys two record albums from store he has given a stole to toni but she decides to send it to stephanie with card stephanie is quite happy at getting the but she does not say a word about the nature of the gift she got when she thanks matthau he says the thought she'd like meaning but stephanie thinks is the name of the br br bergman must have enjoyed the filming as several scenes shows that that was a trademark for her in the later 1940s films but there was also the resemblance to her 1958 film comedy smash hit there cary grant to make sure the pair would concentrate on the romance of their affair without having to think about marriage when lie is revealed to bergman she decides on a lie of her own to convince grant that she was making him a here instead of being the passive lover believing matthau is telling the truth bergman tries to get matthau out of his mess by little white lies only to find one leads to another to everyone's lives bergman is seen as a nice woman who becomes part of the problem despite trying to be part of the solution br br all the leads perform well in particular bergman all business at first but gradually her sexuality matthau is delightful as a man who finds a useful lie is an that just can't be kicked aside the supporting cast especially as the and sexually slimy harvey and as the u n who actually has the for bergman it was a clever comedy and a really good way for goldie movie career to push forward,positive
a great movie about triumph over all the who try to kill your spirit achieving the impossible i won't go on about it other than to say that i liked to reflect on the this film when i'm facing something particularly and realize that if could do what he did i can certainly face the task before me definitely a feel good movie br br see it you won't be disappointed,positive
a must for any die hard fans br br does the role of a amount of justice and although the isn't 100 factual is still a good insight into the lives of both richard and karen and worth a watch just for the soundtrack br br makes me cry br br,positive
i have 2 complete sets from time life this is my favorite movies of all time love all the actors and actresses picture love patrick this is the film that showed his true talent but yet he does not get credit for the display he much credit has been missed in these films love the way they portrayed the dry and dusty of the civil war making it into one of the greatest love stories of all time and showing through all of life what true means how 2 divided countries split but yet all and all the remained solid even though the war divided and up but through it all till the very end they remained and taught us the viewer how true ships can still remain till present day simply the best gone with the wind doesn't compare to this film patrick at his best after seeing this movie for the one hundred thousand time i became a big fan of and have followed his career ever since have all his movies after he made north and south,positive
i gave this 2 stars out of a possible 10 br br i went into this not realizing what it was and discovered it is apparently some kind of african musical since people break into song every few minutes br br none of the songs rhyme most of them aren't really saying anything sensible and they all have the same non existent tune if you could call it a tune br br is a tall spectacularly built young woman with the longest i've ever seen the actress looks as if she has probably done some br br the film opens in a women's prison although not like any prison i've ever seen or heard of the inmates wear whatever they wish and seem to be having a party br br does some frantic dancing and the woman warden of the prison a handsome woman is definitely interested she and dance together later visits the room and they make love unfortunately the scene is not detailed and is very short although there is some nudity br br then escapes from the prison and next we see her dancing in front of another group where a man named maybe a colonel it was never really clear who he was watches her he is with a young woman who seductive dancing and there is a dance off between the two women br br after that the story such as it is becomes even more muddled br br with in jail out of jail and who knows where br br may be involved with a group of or thieves br br there is more singing more dancing and a scene of obviously suffering from br br the film its way to a finish and i a sigh of relief that it had ended br br br br,negative
a dark and painful look at the of drug addiction sinatra is wonderful in this film just watching his and screaming and destructive rage near the end of the film is enough to make anyone think twice about trying heroin maybe they should show this to kids in health class instead of the mindless drivel we are compelled to endure year after year br br it's the story of a man who is simply trying to make a new clean life for himself after being in prison trying to rid himself of his drug habit and his job of dealing cards in illegal gambling who is pulled down pulled back into the by the of human nature he is being taken advantage of by his the drug dealers and even his enigmatic yet stupid wife br br even if you didn't like the film itself it's worth seeing just for the soundtrack it's all heavy swinging jazz with large drum and sections this with its yet slightly sinister sound helps set the mood along with the drug and card dealers who always seem to like around frankie machine br br i recommend this to anyone especially if you like film noir suits or jazz,positive
this movie was terrible not only was the plot weak but the acting was unbelievable bad and at times pathetic very unrealistic dialogs people in real life don't talk like this and there is no emotion or feeling in anything said very except for the almost that constantly occurs even the editing is bad the cuts are terrible the camera work was sloppy and shaky on close ups even back and forth during conversations there is nothing positive about this movie and george needs to be working on heavy or anything where he doesn't have to with other humans because he clearly doesn't know how to how did this movie win get nominated for awards oh my god,negative
i love the beach boys and their music so being that i am a filmmaker i thought wow a beach boys movie sounds great well wrong i just actually turned off the channel the movie was playing on because it was so bad someone above mentioned about editing well they should have at least looked at the while they were filming i don't know if anyone else caught the mustache falling off the face of one of the guys after he his wife and then he it back on with his hands ever heard of re taking a scene acting was terrible direction was terrible make up was terrible possibly the worst make up job i have ever seen brian fat looked like br br this is honestly the first time i have ever commented on imdb and i know it really doesn't make a difference but come on what the hell were the producers thinking,negative
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
how can you make a joke about mafia it is not the kind of subject to laugh at a near movie cannot make me laugh because i am comparing it to jane mafia mafia wasn't a good movie but is really worse in mafia there were some good jokes but in this one there are maybe two or three that make you smile not too bad actors but very bad scenario we sure prefer something serious like the godfather i give it out of,negative
this is just about one of the dumbest things i've ever seen maybe not a worst movie ever but if you haven't seen that many bad ones this could easily make your top ten worst list when you consider what was achieved in 1933 with the original king kong you've got to ask yourself why anyone would so low as to produce this then taking it one step further and realizing that the quantum leap to star wars the following year achieved a new level in sci fi entertainment this offering will make you laugh and cry at the same time br br now let me ask you what would possess the professor peter cushing to bring along an as a prime piece of research equipment for the ride to the core ok so it was useful in off the parrot in the early going but come on somehow i don't think this is what edgar rice had in mind when he wrote his tales of he probably didn't have caroline in mind either as princess probably the only redeeming factor to this whole br br at least there was one bit of pseudo scientific explanation that i got a kick out of i'm always looking for one in films like this that would have to be how the sky at the core was really the of the explaining that glow but try as it might the story just couldn't hook me in a way to find anything at all interesting about the sly one or the ugly one much less those goofy half man half creatures to the good professor you cannot me i'm paying attention,negative
i thought this was a really well written film i've heard of radio the person before this movie was even created and i can't begin to describe how good cuba gooding jr was in it it will make the women cry everyone laugh and most everyone will leave smiling,positive
that's what i kept asking myself while watching this film i mean the amount of nudity and sex was one thing but another part of the movie which gave its genre to the adult industry was its lack of storyline really i just wanted to get up and leave during the whole movie but i i in the hope that maybe the storyline would get better that there might be a good twist at the end however i couldn't have been more wrong in the end i because i figured i could write a bad review for it if anything after watching it br br i mean don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with beautiful sexy and vibrant women but when the director only shows that along with a story thinking it's what the viewer wants to see it insults us all to think we are all so shallow to only want to see from big movie industry players is preposterous my advice hire a different movie,negative
it is more a subtle story of the fact that in indian household how most decisions are taken by the man how no attention is paid to the desires of the lady for example how even when the husband and wife sleep together it would be a test for the husband whether he can control his desires not to give the woman pleasure and in such a type of scenario women have two choices either to accept all this and take it into their own life which is usually the case or not accept this and try to things to satisfy themselves which makes a movie br br fire is a brilliantly directed story of the second option which women choose for themselves no sacrifice not to serve anybody else rather a decision for their own good somehow the whole idea of didn't find an acceptance in the indian audience but if one looks the whole movie from an angle of self expression then the whole debate doesn't even,positive
what can i say after i say the one line summary sandra does a credible job but what with the bad direction and story line it can't save it way too much pre with guns how can the hollywood types rant about the need for gun control in our society and spend so much time and film footage focused on guns it's just worse than expected,negative
4 starts i quote in kansas a replay of the last few minutes of 3 1991 as the recurring character of charlie don keith is about to shoot the last two remaining eggs in the universe which we are informed would mean the of the entire race which is against some sort of law or something like that charlie's bounty hunter friend mann is now known as is a top official at the orders charlie not to shoot the eggs but instead put them into a that will land nearby very soon the does indeed land nearby very quickly charlie does indeed put the eggs into it but he is also caught in the which i presume ally him as it's never really explained 4 then informs us that we are in where a salvage ship comes across the in space the credits have barely finished 4 is already stealing entire ideas scenes from aliens 1986 rick decides to claim the to them anyway try make a bit of cash out of it with the help of his crew ethan paul angela al bert brad eric the is successfully they get in touch with the say to go to an abandoned space station where a trade will be made for the it's also specifically tells rick not to open the so in true horror film tradition rick opens the charlie out the eggs which kill rick escape into the space station br br co produced directed by rupert harvey i thought 4 was a pretty useless film rounds the series of films off with a rather than a bang the script by joseph david j is both predictable clichéd the space station with an unstable that will blow up in a few hours the protagonists only means of escape being early on so they are stuck the race against time to save themselves the constant arguing amongst the crew people splitting up the loser who turns into a hero saves the day yawn a lot of plot devices seem to come straight from aliens it rips off star wars 1979 with a tacky waste scene the characters are no better you probably won't give a damn about any of them while the other films could be described as comedy horrors part 4 cannot it appears to be deadly serious throughout 4 is also incredibly slow dull it's over 30 minutes before the eggs after this brief sequence it's nearly the hour mark before their seen again why make a film barely feature them it can't be because of the expensive special effects as they look like puppets anyway oh how can a mere hours old operate an entire space station set a course for earth how do they even know what earth is why did rick want to open the anyway what is all that stuff about with the female scientist a rubber alien thing that is mentioned only once why do the want the so badly why only send four men why is this perfectly good looking space station totally deserted again 4 looks cheap throughout with bland dark unimaginative sets it even steals footage from 1983 for it's ships space scenes 4 was apparently so low budget that the filmmakers couldn't afford any effects the ones it takes from look seriously dated for the most part only two are used although some more start to but it's pretty late in the day when this happens for most of the film they are barely seen the effects for them are the worst of the entire series forget about any blood or gore as the only kill two people during the 90 plus minute running time which just wasn't enough to maintain my interest the acting is pretty poor as well with angela over the top melodramatic reaction to seeing a few eggs particularly cringe worthy to look at 4 it is as cheap a production as you could hope to not see the ending of 4 has the universe finally being saved form the menace lets hope it also saves us our local video stores from the menace of a part 5,negative

a rather lame teen slasher from while the plot on a fairly decent idea the writing is profoundly lame and two of the three main teens are wooden the problem is that for the kids to go through with their plan they have to be far more reckless than shown but if they were that devil may care it would perhaps be hard for them to be likable so they end up being neither really in fact i only started enjoying the film when i started wishing for their death one of those movies where in about a thousand places the most sensible option would be to call the police i realise we wouldn't have a movie if they did but it would be nice if we could believe that they actually wouldn't avoid,negative
well where to start describing this celluloid you already know the big fat passing as a plot so let's point out that this is so pc it's offensive hard to believe that frank oz the same guy that gave us laugh like little shop of horrors and made this unfunny mess br br so this guy doesn't know he's gay till this actor points it out ok sure if anyone ever says i'm gay i'll know the truth even if i currently like girls more than george likes a dollar br br and how to know the true nature of my sexuality well if i like classic dancing and barbra streisand i'm gay if i dress like a blind man in a hurry with half my shirt hanging out i'm straight oh sure br br and here's the big cliché of clichés no matter how you look there's always a very attractive hollywood actor adore every bit of grease under your skin or a top model love your zero iq your butt ugly face and your pointing out ears if all those gay common places weren't enough to get me angry this did in real world looks matter folks and i know for sure br br i see it coming now you'll say relax it's a comedy don't take it so seriously if being a comedy gives anything to suck out loud i think the world has a serious problem wouldn't be much better and funnier to make a movie to those old tiresome clichés instead of them over and over again br br so one of the absolutely worst movies i've ever seen 1 out of 10 if giving this rating has something to do with my sexual please let me know i'm interested,negative
ironically what makes john carpenter's the thing such an entertaining sci fi film are its genre elements of mystery suspense and tight plot structure it puts to shame such films as aliens or that are content to the viewer with special effects while their plots around stunts that butcher the laws of physics laden one liners heroes with enough to iraq and pathetic attempts to meaning into the on screen with emotional sequences that only serve to further insult the intelligence of the audience the supreme tragedy of course is that these kind of movies are also the most popular i think that there is a cause for this although it isn't very there is an increasing trend in our culture to surrender to the media to in the images we see without a single brain cell to the statement the work is trying to make this mindset is becoming increasingly in all even the once print medium is being thanks to the reader response theory that our schools and the that lines our magazine whose mentality appears to be the once mainstream press nowadays we just flip the switch and put our minds on pause is the thing a good movie for the rare individual who still values his of reason a more appropriate term would be entertaining its plot keeps one guessing its ending is and it has some redeeming statements to make about human paranoia upon subsequent viewings one begins to note a lack of depth in the acting but the taut storyline remains compelling of course citizen kane it's not but then again sci fi never was a thinking man's genre,positive
i love movies all genres and from big dollar to small indie projects but even making for this piece of junk being 25 years old and its attempt at homage to the 1950's it just suffers in almost aspect by which we judge films br br throughout the movie i was reminded of several student films i've had a chance to watch efforts where creativity is required to fill gaps where are needed br br all in all chances are there are much better uses for 90 minutes of your life br br 2 10,negative
chaplin was great a silent comedian but many silent era stars fell when the public heard their voices in the first in my opinion voice simply did not fit his silent characters that made him rich and famous his career never when sound came to film contrary to most of the reviews i have read lifestyle and politics did not help his popularity with the average viewer who expected to be entertained by chaplin the comedian and not spend their entertainment dollar watching political commentary br br despite awards and i would take exception to his to humanity the great dictator was made at the same time brutal was having it's show trials and both signed the that lead to invasion of by both wwii started in an attempt to save the were defeated in 6 years but disappeared as a country this happened during the time this film was made and the of hollywood by the federal government had chaplin included joe in this satire in addition to including the italian dictator perhaps he would have had less criticism about his politics by the politicians the of jews and the in time and numbers br br judged simply as a film many of the gags were too to be understood by younger viewers who wouldn't know who or were a classic piece of art must stand the test of time classic greek tragedy the lisa and are still enjoyed centuries after their creation because they are timeless films which rely on political commentary or currently popular social views usually do not the generation in which they are made but those that address issues that are common to all generations will probably live forever and receive a high rating from me br br chaplin as the writer director and lead actor must take the blame for what i judge as a dated and tiresome film br br have his decision to leave the country that made him rich and famous if chaplin found the us so offensive why didn't he return to his native land great fought the blood and money what did switzerland contribute in the fight against the european switzerland is like a country club that picks and chooses its members based on race and class and cares little about people who can't join the club,negative
i'm a horror movie freak and this has got to be one of the most phenomenal horror flicks i've ever seen the is totally original who else would think up a town who gets totally obsessed with a certain symbol to the point of death and insanity the special effects are amazing and the cinematography couldn't be better some may find it disturbing but that doesn't mean it's a bad movie it also makes a good point the spiral symbol is kinda the spiral spiral on of all the they could have used square triangle this was one of the best choices if you can find this movie definitely see it it's certainly unique and quite unforgettable,positive

while not as bad as some movies like the horrible atomic still relies upon common and inaccuracies about the nuclear power industry to advance its plot i am currently studying nuclear in the pursuit of a masters degree and it was easy to point out flaws that would be obvious to anyone involved with the industry br br riding the false fear that a style could happen in an american plant the movie states that any even partial according to one of the guest in the movie would mean disaster for the area in fact a partial in an american plant while destroying the core would not pose any risk to the surrounding area three mile island experienced a partial and no material was released into the environment at all thanks to the natural of the fuel and core design used in this country paired with substantial br br the security steps shown in the movie were perhaps the part of the movie from the truth at any important location be it power plant chemical plant military base anything you will never see to an alarm by around talking as if it were an this is especially true at a nuclear plant where upon the sounding of the alarm the would be immediately them off can be done with the push of a button in the control room you do not need to put the core in mode like depicted in the movie and the chemistry of nuclear a core from being brought back up to power within about 9 hours of a so if this scenario played out in real life the would not be able to cause a significant in theory they could still cause a partial one due to heat if they exposed the core immediately but that would be almost impossible given the numerous systems present in a plant there are many more than the single they speak of in the movie br br as for the spent fuel it may be possible to turn the into a dirty bomb by blowing them up but this is far more difficult than simply parking a truck full of near the the fuel is under approximately 18 feet of highly water the water cannot become no steam like they speak of in the movie in water can but the water itself cannot thus the reason for very so the only way to turn a fuel pool into a dirty bomb is to get the fuel out of the water this is no easy task as water is very heavy and the are below ground with very thick walls the would have to be in the pool below the fuel which is and there would have to be a heck of a lot of as water is very hard to move through an explosion even if this were to occur spent fuel is not extremely and the explosion would not cause nearly as high a death as mentioned in the movie especially given the small amount of material that would be spread br br from a basic movie standpoint i grew somewhat tired of the style used the constant in and out use of gritty black and white and fast tracking and looked amateurish the characters were one dimensional especially those in the us government i have some problems with the twist thrown in the movie but will not discuss it as it would be a major spoiler br br overall 3 10,negative
it is difficult to imagine how the engaging dan brown novel angels and demons could misfire as badly as this film version here are ten reasons why the film was a failure due to the spoilers please do no read on unless you have already seen the film br br 1 in the film there was no love relationship between robert and worse still there was not even any chemistry between the two leading actors br br 2 the breathtaking locations in rome as described in the novel were not realized visually in the film i am aware that director ron howard encountered difficulties in filming on location but there are superior photographed depictions of rome on the history channel than in this film where the eternal city was presented in eternal stock film footage the great art works described in the novel were only briefly depicted in the film the magnificent of the ecstasy of st was only and the west relief in square was not visible at all br br 3 the most tasteless choice made by the film maker was in the depiction of the deceased who actually the beloved john paul ii in the novel the is clearly fictional with no resemblance to any real br br 4 one of the most colorful and important characters of the novel director of was cut out of the screenplay br br 5 there were numerous instances when the lines of dialog were due to background noise br br 6 there were moments when the faces of characters were not visible due to the shadows and film lighting this technique worked in the godfather films but ron howard is no gordon willis br br 7 the college of was quite a crew with one of the speaking in a southern this dude would have been more at home on a texas ranch than in the br br 8 the crucial relationship of the and the deceased was not defined in the film this relationship was central to the theme of science vs religion and the relevance of the to the plot against the church br br 9 in the novel the character of was an unforgettable villain in the film that assassin character's role was a cardboard villain br br 10 as a whole the filmmakers did not trust the of the successful novel br br in the novel makes an impossible fall out of the sky and into the river in ron film it was the movie itself that landed in the,negative
as a big fan of brian and the majority of the movies he's been involved in i guessed i'd enjoy i didn't although in ways it has it's moments however if you're expecting something of the of society or beyond you could be in for a shock in a way this is similar to society being a tale of a seemingly ordinary world with a horrific supernatural but that's where it ends br br i'm not covering for when i say that the fault doesn't really lie with him as bad direction is bad direction but the direction is sound what the movie up is both script and acting stuart gordon has written an intelligent script but one that doesn't really work with style of direction leaving him on actors delivering lengthy dialogue when really he wants to throw that camera around and get down with his bad self this matter makes the movie awkward enough as it is but there's worse br br if the movie had been made with great actors the movie would have probably held it's own unfortunately this is very far from the case the acting is wooden shockingly so even for a low budget b feature the inexplicably successful and renowned arnold every damn line with near in one of the worst performances i've seen in a long while the man manages to turn every line of well considered dialogue into the kind of ham line you'll be throwing at mates next time you're in the pub bob good god am i going mad what's come over me ' in fact i may try that one myself next weekend the last minute addition of genre veteran and personal favourite brad instead of the film like it should almost seems to hand the movie in a last effort to stop from but quite frankly looks deeply uncomfortable possibly waiting for the next assault of bad acting next to and even an eccentric turn from him fails to the film br br if the acting was better this movie would have been okay hell it might have been pretty enjoyable but the lack of character makes the movie a soulless affair and makes the horror element seem tacked on and tasteless instead of an part of the film i found the alien torture rape scenes a little difficult to stomach already but the fact that the characters were so lacking made them seem gratuitous as well as unpleasant leaving a nasty taste in the mouth br br so if you really like sci fi and don't have a problem with bad acting pedestrian pacing and a really nasty rape scene will probably be your cup of tea but since i do i'm probably never going to watch it again once was enough on the plus side this is the only sci fi movie ever bothered to make so he obviously wasn't really that pleased with it himself,negative

this great film never showed up in my town so actually i didn't have any opportunity to watch it until the late when i caught it on german television i was expecting something of a disaster and found instead a well acted grand western with superb location work the tiny tube couldn't really damage it and there's almost not a dull moment in this 4 hour film so i hope to see it once again on the big screen what a spectacle that would be don't miss it if you ever have the chance unfortunately the harsh treatment of gate at its opening ruined michael career and he moved from the passable year of the dragon to the ludicrous the and the dumb desperate hours,positive
people get a clue i mean the writers dont have one so i would expect you to this show is such a pale imitation of the show that you can laugh at it and the sixties show is the one with the cheap special effects and is in b w yet the mood and the writing on the old show is miles ahead of this drivel get hip kids if 98 degrees or told you to watch it you would you know it just them and tell all your friends you were with the before it became too cool,negative
is not a masterpiece in any of its storytelling aspects however it delivers a perfectly enjoyable story along with a magnificent cinematography the narrative structure is set around two narrative one of them the other each one having elements that relate and co exist in excellent harmony the story never loses the right pacing and it shows a very good of the human figure with its natural environment which is a character in itself the acting is great and for that we owe credit to the director furthermore the characters are very well written and masterfully complex so once you become with them you can perceive their feelings without them even saying anything i can't say i liked this picture because of all the hype it generated in but rather because of the way it really achieves in showing an interesting portrait of what happens when you with the of people's lives hopefully will establish a reference for future projects in as it is a very good example of nice movie making,positive
even mst3k couldn't make this painful long and ultimately mind funny or entertaining while most bad movies in and of themselves are hilariously bad this one is one of those few videos that uses the word bad in its literal sense br br the element that makes this so painful to watch is not the lack of story but the fact that much background is into the first half hour that it is utterly ridiculous and harder to follow than a highway while driving with no br br the hero of the film is no more than eye candy for this literal energy sucker of a film dressed in a cloth and sporting like as joel put it he belongs more in a magazine than here br br i would recommend this only to die hard and i mean die hard followers of cheese if you have an enemy recommend them this film if you make it through this i you you should be able to make it through anything,negative
as a true lover of film i must advise you to avoid this appalling effort god knows how funding was seriously this is one cinematic experience which delivers zero dramatic tension and along until nothing happens again and again and again the only is two scares which at least keep you awake the worst film i have ever witnessed and the acting by the female lead is on criminal intent one with modern technology you can fast forward and watch it on and it will only last 25 minutes and you won't miss any of the plot br br no idea how people find this at all interesting and some are giving it high marks,negative
this vicious little film is horrendous my low rating for it comes for two main reasons the first is that it is an animal snuff film and i find that whole concept so vile it turns my stomach filmed over a hundred years ago i can only hope that we've evolved into something a little more and compassionate this film is complete and utter exploitation made to cash in on the sensational aspects of the film and the subject historical interest aside this is something to watch only if one finds themselves in the grip of morbid fascination br br reason number two look at the way that the camera is set up it is placed in the best possible location to fully capture the full effect long march forward of the elephant perfect view of the platform and a cold and viewpoint of the elephant with smoke coming out of it before it finally sickening br br thomas edison did many great things for civilization and his talents and intelligence aren't in doubt nobody is perfect but when you realize that this film provided a an opportunity for him to early cinematic with a film of an elephant being and b he filmed the execution to demonstrate the greater of as opposed to you can't help but wonder if the scientist in him was a little too and cold any number of peter mad scientists would be proud the rest of us should be ashamed and,negative
having lived in upper 30 miles from in the mid 1990s i was eager to see this film it begins enough with some superficial understanding of the values and quirks of u p life but jeff daniels apparently was not content with a low key approach that would have been fitting given the place and the people instead he introduces extremely crude humor and some wildly inappropriate mystical supernatural elements although there is a good movie to be made about this practically unknown region of the u s this is not it,negative
the regard of flight written and performed by bill irwin is a true classic theatre piece which translated quite well to the small screen full of quick and dialog and some of the best physical comedy of the decade it is head and shoulders above 99 of comedy as it is presented today i am sure it will one day take its place with such great shows as the and waiting for why it isn't available on dvd yet is a mystery and a tragedy,positive
mixing small town high school students fake rock music and some weirdo who kills for well no reason in particular this film is essentially a re make of the giant monster except without the monster of course br br now anyone who has actually seen giant monster knows that it is one of the worst made films of all time frequently so slow it's not even funny and i can't believe that by 1967 giant monster had earned such a reputation that young directors were just dying to get to work on a sequel let alone a remake so will someone please explain to me why this film was made the dance sequence by the way is historically interesting although about three years out of date but even that's spoiled since it goes on and on and on,negative
rating 7 out of 10 directed by if you like hitchcock's then you will like this movie murder by stars sandra as psychologically troubled yet brilliant police detective cassie her partner is sam kennedy a non detective played by ben chaplin br br the teenage killers are high school students richard ryan and justin michael pitt these young are out to prove their by committing the perfect murder and getting away with it but the of capture is exciting and thrilling to at least one of the killers br br the supporting characters include a police chief an assistant district attorney and the high school janitor that the killers pin the murder on the movie reminds me of various movies crossed with the tv show law and we see a fair bit of police work and it is really interesting to see which clues the detectives follow and which ones they don't br br the other plot in the movie relates to cassie past and ex husband most viewers found this aspect of the movie unnecessary and slow moving but i found this to the most intriguing part of the story br br murder by is a nicely crafted movie if you are looking for safe or should i say dangerous murder mystery for more thrills and suspense try or hitchcock's m for,positive
cruelty has to be one of the most disturbing films i've ever seen and cannibal holocaust didn't bother me that much but there's a strange psychological element to cruelty this film your mind with shocking visuals and one of the most unsettling film scores and sound designs repulsive at times yes but its visual flair can be compared to avant directors such as and david lynch take the most extreme elements of those 4 directors and throw in the graphic violence of a film by fulci and you might be able to guess what you're in for br br the film is divided into 4 parts the first part the eye is real short a narrator tells us about the the parts of the brain and its functions then a nude woman gets her stomach cut open and an is pulled out the second part human is kind of like the film but with incest it deals with a man's sexual obsession with his pregnant sister where's when you need him the third part is my absolute favorite it reminds me of and 1972 short film in this segment people have sex with the earth men bloody holes in the ground girls with tree the bleed when broken watch in horror as a man gives to a knife sticking out of a woman's these people really know how to get in touch with nature br br the last part of the film is the most disturbing and at times it borders on hardcore pornography this part of the film made me think of the holy mountain sweet movie and cannibal holocaust i've never been more disturbed in my life by what i witnessed a business man gets his pulled apart by and two women on a christ figure and proceed to eat him like bread and him with a tree branch poor guy the last part was so extreme that if i ever watch the film again i'll have close my eyes or slightly fast forward and mitch davis are obviously very talented to think they did this project in there early went on to direct the influenced 2002 which is a much better film and he co write the screenplay for after dark horror masterpiece the abandoned cruelty is a fascinating and unsettling journey with images that come from the realm of everyday human minds well sort of,positive
it may be a little now and it certainly can never have the impact it once had but this is still a thrilling reminder of what michael jackson could once do looking back on it now for the first time since its initial i was struck not by the horror quaint but fun and vincent price has never sounded so genuinely un menacing than its of the horror film allowing jackson behind genre and make up to give us a revealing portrait of male sexuality br br because thriller isn't really about horror in the way horror isn't really about horror it is about that age old theme the sexual awakening of a young woman the film opens in a cinema with jackson's girlfriend uncomfortable with the imagery and the response of course she is on a date and she is less scared by the film than what she knows will be expected by her boyfriend br br the mainstream imagery of the film they watch the group atmosphere all suggest the socially expectations this leads her not only to think of the body in disgust hence all the the loss of her virginity is seen as a kind of death but the sexual is not just about her boyfriend but her peers her society hence its as a gang br br this is brilliant disturbing stuff the best thing director has ever done jackson the most popular artist on the planet was still willing to show that the fixed image of a star contained not all of them the song itself has held up remarkably well the creepy bass the extraordinarily lyrics the beautiful 70s disco ecstasy the chorus shattering revealing the desire behind the fear,positive
a little while ago i stumbled upon this dvd while netflix and with such an impressive cast decided to give it a go br br never before have i seen a movie try to be a new version of an existing great movie scarface and failing so spectacularly br br the main issue seems to be a complete of what the story should be in scarface tony montana was the self bad guy his spectacular rise and eventual downfall wasn't sad it was a great and the only logical ending to someone who lived such a life br br as director writer and lead actor sees as some sort of hero or at least a complicated guy however he doesn't want to do the work of creating a realistic sympathetic character he was raised by a white mother except for the six months of his childhood where his father a gangster himself showed him his life for reasons never fully explained or even really mentioned he decides he wants to be a drug dealer and actually drives to the bad part of town approaches two dealers and says hey i'd like to buy some drugs he drops his father's name and in apparently no time they are not only rich the two guys who are him are acting to him for reasons again never explained br br wants you to feel bad when his character is sentenced to prison when a police lies about him however since he's dealt large of drugs before why should one feel sympathy for him going to jail for it this time the most obvious case of wanting to be the good guy is in his prison execution of a white rapist played by gary busey in scarface tony montana kills someone in prison because he pretty much has to in order to elevate himself it's done he moves on but in this case they ham have to make busey not only a rapist but also a white a little don't you think i won't go into detail in this regard too much more but their desperate message of please like me i'm a complicated gangster fails on every level try as they might i didn't feel bad conflicted or sympathetic when his buddies are killed following a shootout his wife is also killed shortly after she called him out on being a lousy father and during an attempted escape when he decided it'd be ok to ride right next to a car filled with while his wife is in the car and his eventual demise br br suffice it to say his acting can be fairly summed up as lousy his only achievement bringing the term wooden to new heights busey should be credited for actually putting effort into his ridiculous role tiny did well is playing his warden from prison break role robert wagner is for a paycheck faye while a touch dramatic still turns in a performance better than this movie deserved brad is in the film for about two minutes and does what he can and to give the film credit it does one up scarface in one way jennifer now holds the title of most ridiculous attempt at a hispanic accent sorry robert in short this movie had an interesting premise but a poor story arc unsympathetic characters and hit or miss performances i'd advise mr to ease up on the forced sympathy next time really we don't need to like your character we just need to be interested better luck next time,negative
why oh why is this trash considered a classic i've seen higher body counts on episodes of the simpsons virtually nothing happens in this film and much of it's running time is filled with nearly unbearable melodrama straight out of a low rent soap opera br br the family are going through tough times and when dad is away and little boy go to get the car fixed but when they get to the ranch they discover that the guard dog has gone mad the rest of the film is just them sitting in the car while the st bernard circles them over and over br br regarding the kid i have never ever seen a more annoying child in a film in my life and obviously he's completely since blonde haired and blue eyed kids such as the one featured on of chocolate are apparently more sympathetic than people with brown eyes and dark hair like me all he does is cry and same goes for she gets out the car she gets in the car she gets out the car she gets in the car br br i know this was made in 1983 but i just sick to death of horror films where the characters make stupid illogical decisions if just used some common sense she'd be able to get away from the dog br br it's very poorly written and there's zero tension if you want to see a good bad dog movie then check out john man's best friend it's funny inventive has a better dog a higher body count and a more involving story leave this garbage be,negative
i did not know what to expect when i decided to watch this documentary i knew it was about an ex in who escaped but i didn't know much else in reality i wasn't expecting too much oh what a surprise the story of this man's life is very interesting in itself but what sets this film apart from other biography type is that himself tells most of the story himself is very comfortable in front of the camera his personality really shines he tells his story about his life growing up in germany during wwii and the we are there with him in that same small town as he describes his family and struggles we follow him to america and his path to fulfilling his dream to be a pilot then later describes his story of capture escape and survival in the jungle we are again with him in that very jungle as he describes and re his and path to freedom with great detail we see the same primitive villagers and forms of he dealt with that really hasn't changed for 30 years we see the thick jungle mountain and rivers faced during his escape it helps us to understand his emotions pain and plight i enjoyed the man the story and the style job well done,positive

the video case for this film reads a story of beauty passion and forbidden fruit are they talking about the same movie i just saw they can't be as the film i just saw was beautiful but there was no passion and as for the fruit this is all meant to the potential viewer to see this movie if only it did have some passion or some life to it i would have greatly enjoyed this film instead it was an slow paced and not particularly interesting film that i would definitely not want to see again it isn't that it's a bad film after all it is very beautifully filmed but it is dull beyond belief i kept waiting for something exciting or interesting to happen but then the movie just ended there was no great sense of excitement mystery or anything just a rather story about a young girl who becomes a servant and spends the next 10 years of her life working as a maid,negative
this film is bad yes but had the producers used a real it would have killed the actor it was boxing with i am an australian and i have seen two seven foot tall male fighting each other it is not a pretty sight as the object is for one or the other to kill it's this is there way of the herd of females and there are incidents where someone has a and been injured or killed so when you see a on tv or film it is likely to be a female or animated as it is a good idea not to actors they might be annoyed at losing the ability to breath there is a strange idea that australian animals are cute and that is false many are dangerous 10 of the 12 most snakes live here and most are just plain ugly are as soft as steal so if you come to australia be,negative

as a person who knows the filmed ship and some other ships too i cannot see the movie as a movie only as a movie is has some great wonderful shots of the ship most of them done on an existing apart of the ones in the disaster scenes of course and a certain room under deck but regarding the story and dialogs i only can call it big crap nothing of that would happen like this on a real no wonder the film had bad impact on the existing ship if i didn't know better i wasn't tempted to do a voyage for sure definitely for europeans i recommend to switch off once the ship ran after that the over emotional very american part begins which i couldn't bear the are really really great no wonder in a scott film but if you can avoid listening to the text it will become much better,negative
this movie was just horrendous how could anybody like this movie and for the ones who liked it because of the jokes they should really take a long hard look in the mirror and ask themselves if stereotypes are not bad ignoring the face of the racial stereotypes this was just awful it never had its moments if it paid homage to 1980's airplane it needs to pay some more awful acting terrible script writing even for a movie with or tom arnold this movie was bad from the beginning but people might have seen the whole thing by the thought that the plane would crash one of the worse movies ever stay away,negative

closet land is a nasty piece of work with superb actors nothing more or less happens in the movie besides the abuse of an attractive woman prisoner by a sadistic police official the setting is this might be considered soft core s m porn because the drama is devoid of all reference points such as time place and political context since what happens is cut in a fantasy futuristic environment the abuse becomes purely personal the pornographic aspects are justified by being a warning about the of government but because there is no real context for the torture of this young woman we come away disturbed but having learned nothing br br what is the point that torture exists in the world that prisoners is bad that abuse innocent people we know that already closet land has echoes of such works as darkness at and but both those works were made by competent artists whose work had historical context and depth of meaning this work is amateurish and the dialogue a definite thumbs down,negative

documentary content amazing man amazing movement he started amazing stories most of them yet to be really told br br celluloid treatment ad sorry ain't got nothing else to say about this but that you can say all you want about the dire circumstances in the but if you attempt to support that claim with flashy and images and camera work of that life the necessary to show this life as an filmmaker goes out the window and with that goes the of the narrative besides that the time space in the film is all off and i'm not necessarily against that in films as a tool but here it serves only to confuse the viewer into wondering what was said when thus leading me to the question is this a documentary or a br br com,negative
ordinary decent criminal is sort of based on the exploits of martin already the subject of john 1998 film the general had a rough upbringing in a area and from petty crime to armed robbery with he justified his criminal career by pointing out his poor background at every opportunity this is a common excuse for criminals that conveniently the thousands of who don't turn to robbing post and selling guns in order to make ends meet made fools of the police and local authorities not to mention the ira which earned him a sort of folk hero status as well as making him many enemies however he was basically an amoral self serving thief br br my primary problem with is that the protagonist is made out to be a lovable irish rogue kevin spacey does a good job portraying michael lynch with a blend of charm and quiet menace but the character is too amoral and selfish to be seen as any sort of hero even an anti hero br br the film is well shot and well acted by a fine cast but what lets it down is the script writer gerard can't make up his mind is he writing an irish lock stock or a treatment of martin career that's the problem when a writer his central character on a real person br br it's also unfortunate that followed the cinema release of john the general which was a more accurate portrayal of martin story was a cunning thief who knew the value of good publicity so it's not surprising that his exploits got the movie treatment br br what is surprising is that a studio was prepared to take story and give it a happy hollywood style ending kevin charismatic thief michael lynch gets to ride off into on his motorcycle in in the real world martin was executed by the ira just to prove that no one makes fools of an out dated and corrupt military and gets away with it br br the real would never have walked away from his because it his man of the people self image having michael lynch give up everything to avoid death in is a cop out ending to a weak and shallow movie,negative

this was my very first bollywood movie and i found it in the same way many other recent viewers did through ghost world having done a little bit of reading up on the film industry of bollywood this week i understand somewhat why there are seemingly unrelated musical numbers and romance and comedy in a horror film but something for everyone doesn't always add up to a cohesive product br br the ultra musical dance number ho has captivated the world in a way it probably could not have done in 1965 it's all over the internet now with many folks for a good english translation does an amazing job dancing take after take making it all look fresh new and fun even when any normal person would be exhausted she rules br br on the beach with miss kitty is a light weight fun and pretty tune in total contrast to the horror plot still i find myself singing it in hindi a week later i found a rough translation br br if you want to live in this life then listen to what i say leave your behind and join the party take my advice br br those who want to live live with laughter and singing let your hair down and relax people of this world what do you know come to me and i'll explain br br whoever there is who will see me will stop worrying in this world fish swim here and there br br my second favorite number in the film is the dream where is by miss dancing the electric like are just wonderfully tacky as is the entire set of this number online i'd seen it described as what would happen if threw up way fun br br is not a good movie as a whole that's why i gave it a rating of 3 it's actually a real stinker of a film with some fun musical numbers that have nothing really to do with the murder plot,negative

aaron carter plays the pop star j d mcqueen in this movie surprise surprise this is a typical movie where the leading lady jane has a huge crush on j d mcqueen the pop star as well as many other girls but she's the lucky one that gets to spend the days with j d and forms a relationship with him that is more like a fantasy j d has to go to a public school to keep his grade up in order to do his summer tour problem is j d isn't good at he finds the person in school jane to him jane and falls in love with j d j d in return falls in love with as well but j d up and has to fix everything in order to win the girl and make the summer tour the movie is definitely worth watching aaron will be a great actor,positive
the story of ed is interesting very interesting this movie however interesting only in the fact that it was actually made kane portrayal of ed is so far off it's not even the slightest bit funny ed did not behave psychotic in public he was very calm and and always extremely polite to everybody and talked to anybody who would listen this is one of the major things this movie failed to show the audience but the biggest mistake of this movie side from even one frame ever being shot was that ed never killed anyone without having been told to do so by his dead mother whom he thought was speaking to him from beyond the grave he killed only the people who his dead mother said he had to because it was god's will and he was very about it though that didn't stop him from with and wearing people's flesh i officially gave this movie a rating of 1 simply because 0 wasn't given to me as an option br br i highly advise all to stay clear of this movie if you want to see a movie that accurately depicts ed and doesn't try to put in a sub plot love story between a cop and a fictional woman who never existed i highly advise you see the original movie which unfortunately seems to not be on imdb com though i could be wrong but i have yet to find it here the original doesn't stray from the actual events and doesn't try to twist the story i can understand telling the story from a different perspective but this movie just tried to straight change the true story itself something that i find as horrible as if someone made a movie based on 9 11 but gave it a twist that canada was behind it or a wwii movie saying hitler was a good guy and helped fight the,negative

i caught this little gem totally by accident back in 1980 or i was at a revival theatre to see two old silly sci fi movies the theatre was packed full and with no warning they showed a bunch of sci fi short spoofs to get us in the mood most were somewhat amusing but this came on and within seconds the audience was in the biggest laugh came when they showed princess having huge instead of hair on her head she looks at the camera gives a grim smile and that made it even funnier you gotta see played by what looks like a muppet it was extremely silly and stupid but i couldn't stop laughing most of the dialogue was drowned out because of all the laughter also if you know star wars pretty well it's even funnier they deliberately poke fun at some of the dialogue this really works with an audience a definite 10,positive

ok so my summary line is a cheap trick but the movie is full of them and it gets praised so br br i caught this one on tv uncut as tv here shows all movies that's for you americans who might say i didn't like it because i saw a cut tv version fortunately that's only an us thing and had no idea about what it was i switched on caught the last minutes of a show and the movie began within a minute i was begging it was a comedy given the particularly ridiculous clichéd beginning yes it's a bad movie within the movie i know but what a way to try to keep the viewer interested i don't even know why i didn't switch channels and yes in fact the movie turned out to be a comedy albeit an unintentional one br br is pretty enough but gosh what a dreadful performance while casting a in the role is smart enough she doesn't talk so bye bye language yet sorry baby playing mute doesn't mean marx her acting is unintentionally funny in many moments just look at her when she draws an x in the air while stalked by the killer he wants to kill you it's no time to play zorro we get plenty of running upstairs stuff passing for tension as in the worst slashers and things like pulling a carpet and a bad guy shots the other ugh will hollywood ever learn yet the best worst pearl is having a guy in a and well i have never seen anyone being to death in a but i'm sure you can't see the blue cartoon in real life do you and how about immediately a mean looking guy because he says he's a cop and not asking him to show you his ok so he turns out to be a real cop but still not asking for the makes no sense plot wise we could always think the might be phony or he might be a crooked cop screen writing 101 and how about the big twist don't tell me you didn't see that coming from 200 miles away br br i feel sorry for poor old alec guinness and his useless stock footage cameo now i think about this what's the point in giving him a mystery guest star credit in the end titles the movie's over there's no mystery anymore and everybody and their brother have identified guinness even non movie buffs will recognize the old guy from yet better off this way so we can pretend it's not the late great actor br br people keep comparing this to of all people hitchcock i suppose it has to be john hitchcock the as the late sir alfred would feel embarrassed out of watching this let alone making it and this gets a 6 8 10 it's bottom 100 material but then we're talking a rating system that allows 'the lord of the rings the return of the to appear as the third best movie ever made check top 100 so br br 2 10,negative
i first viewed they died with there boots on about 1970 and though it has been many years since this film and its impression remain the cast was good to excellent and the lead man was truly heroic when i first saw this film i knew the as well as the only real position to have was to enjoy this film as a rousing bit of entertainment and then some i felt then as i even feel now that the silver screen does not as such provide for a true depiction of much of anything let alone the life of george armstrong however the director walsh was to contribute to the real value represented in this film when i watched a semi documentary with other great directors like vincent these central figures talked about there with valuable comments providing a glimpse into the hollywood mind set this is what i considered something of interest and where all of this became terribly interesting and very enjoyable yet there have been so much made of all the problems with the silver screen and its story telling ability that some of the enjoyment has been lost and perhaps you would find that to be true here as well in a class of much has been made of final class but of the who entered the military academy with him in half of them had already out or quit by day june 24 it is suggested in the movie as the various are if a soldier is fit for command and then they come upon the name of george armstrong and there is to be certain an exchange between the two sides and here is where the on duty says in almost a low tone even to suggest as if that came out by accident his would follow him to hell your at attention tape if not mistaken when flynn shows up at a initial battlefield it acknowledged that did not see action right away and indeed he was doing work as a reliable to not only sheridan but forces as well only to end up for a time with the army of the under general george there is some truth to the attributed to battlefield as was illustrated when in a young his horse to the lead and in among the stunned as a lone union soldier surrounded by rebels through he accepted the surrender of several enemy soldiers including a rebel captain yet most outstanding was that in this action he personally captured the very first battle flag taken by the army of the this notable act of courage marked him as an officer of great battlefield promise robert l general there is a problem here and that is the telling of the story and the truth as to george armstrong the story is good hollywood entertainment perhaps even great entertainment but for whatever reasons all that could be told was changed for entertainment purposes though this maybe jumping the gun it might be well to know that tom was to lose his life at the little big horn only a few feet from where george was to die as well they were brothers and tom to this very day holds a honorable distinction of being amongst a very small group perhaps only 3 others to have been awarded the of honor twice in his military career the list of that the motion picture shows indicate that indeed was an active young officer he was not with union forces at either or for that matter however he was with them at the battle of and at that point in time he was actually promoted to captain by general but that was not to last as was soon to be replaced due to the historical fact that the army of the had the means and the information discovered wrapped around some was general lee's plans to split his forces and yet he failed to act for some 17 hours it can be that the war could of been over then and there had that occurred but when failed to act president lincoln replaced him and the promotion was lost as a result greatest victory may of in fact come at his forces which occupied an area called cemetery at the field at in the summer of were able to defeat a stuart led of some 6 000 rebels with but a force of 2 300 i think the at by are worth some discussion there is had in the movie that was a well you better guess again because not only did have men in his corner but he established a to present to the of the state of which by the way was relatively new to the union cause and where preparing to form though was severely for that kind of when he showed up in all that gold it was not by accident as you would be led to believe the truth be told defense at stuart from having lunch at the rear stores and that this action by the way occurred and it was timed to with charge so to make for the greatest of success it was a critical victory and was at his and best his men did follow him to hell and lived to tell about it,positive

few videos in recent history have been as produced as this one at least none that have been released by such a every frame of this film is a of better films of the past the word is given new meaning by a talentless writer director who should his imagination for lesser efforts that don't film viewers in the amateur night effort is a number of less than capable who contribute poor cinematography and laughable make up and special effects unfortunately the one or two of the amateur actors in the film who display a hint of talent that will go due to the reputation that this atrocity will produce,negative
and the star in my opinion is an excellent masterpiece i felt all warm and when voice of and voice of david set out to get revenge on the princess voice of if you ask me the princess was absolutely bitchy and diabolical to me she deserved to have and seek revenge on him however i liked her castle as well as the rest of the setting in addition i thought that of pat and murky of peter were diabolical before i wrap this up i'd like to say that everyone was perfectly cast the direction was flawless and disney has scored a big hit in conclusion i highly recommend this excellent masterpiece to everyone who hasn't seen it especially die hard fans of the tv series i guarantee you you'll enjoy it,positive
the first users comments are very detailed for a very vague movie not saying that i disagree but this summary can be written in a few sentences to get straight to the point this is pretty much like watching the making of a really bad amateur porno flick there are a few funny points in the movie but with the kind of things that happen in todays youth everyday its actually kind of lame the main actor in the movie is a pompous jackass and both guy and girl in the film are way too modest to be in a film like this do not waste your money on this movie the only reason why i gave it a 4 and not a 1 is that they used at least a somewhat attractive girl in the movie and towards the end you got to see almost full frontal nudity from the girl thats it thats the only thing thats worth watching it for the end,negative
for my money probably the best film or at least the most purely cinematic film director ford ever made the dialog is swift to the point l the story starts at the very beginning and only ends with the final credits ford uses a relatively small cast but directs them and photographs them with a and a of epic proportions realistic amusing brilliantly acted hard to believe couldn't become a leading man after this with the best photography and editing in any american black and white film owes an awful lot to editing technique but never as detached or as could frequently get and a great musical score a magnificent of an important and poorly understood episode in american history br br one little it's not clear why the film involves the who as far as i know were never the the and were this confusion leaves a slightly bitter after taste br br however the rest of the film is such a feast this is easy to ignore in all other ways a true masterpiece of american cinema that needs to be and looked at again and again and again,positive
this movie is filled with so many idiotic moments that you wonder how it ever got made for example they get into the from the and while they're in the you can see signs pointing to various government buildings and then they come up in the middle of the street i highly doubt that government buildings would provide public access through the city system anyways i gave this a 2 instead of a 1 just because of its comic value i laughed the whole way through at the idiocy of everyone involved in this movie,negative
a political satire of a comedian williams who after the political and is forced into the running but shockingly we wins and makes a mockery of the office man of the year is not the funniest movie nor the best but in small doses it does work williams again with after a hit with good morning vietnam the two seem to have a great chemistry and work off each other i am not comparing them to scorsese and deniro but you can get the picture although i wouldn't quite say to rush out there and see the movie in theaters i would recommend renting it this movie is a comedy but also has a great satire please if you like movies like scary movie 4 this is not for you take your brain with you to see it,positive

i watched this one mostly to see charlie and two of my favorites br br the plot has many a twist and turn it's not bad as a straight mystery aboard a train br br but why throw in a circus train wreck and an escaped gorilla i can mention this without it being a spoiler because the circus train wreck and the gorilla have nothing to do with the intricate mystery plot br br the bad person trying to kill the good people has many tricks up his but the circus train wreck was purely it allows for a single scene with a menacing gorilla but then it's back to the murder mystery,negative
one of the intriguing aspects of this historical drama is the way the or british american are portrayed and the sort of given to their support for king george iii in many ways the american revolution was definitely a family affair in that some of the colonial families were split by it if there is a strong criticism to be made of this film it is that perhaps the people in this story are made out to be a little bit than they were in real life br br in some regards the actions of the character of major played by make him the least likable member of the cast and the flaw in the storyline he seems to from being a kind of to being a kind of for the cause ' fellow this film does concentrate heavily on the notions of personal honor and personal which were a major social in that day and age br br in its subtext the fact that about twenty five percent of the colonial population was decidedly pro british is over too but the strength of the element is not obviously although the good doctor character is about five percent upper class to steal a fine phrase from monty flying circus anne francis does a whole lot with a rather thin section of the script and it stands out she was a good choice for the woman of divided a who was rather more modern than the social conventions of that day might have allowed if there had not been a life and death struggle going on br br one good aspect of the film is the way the of the american revolutionary leaders into outright and how these personal conflicts very nearly the entire revolutionary effort all in all the leading characters are very well drawn the minor characters are not just human props and the fight scenes are believable enough to carry the dramatic action br br this is a great spy movie it's not quite a great historical drama but it does satisfy well enough it rates a seven largely because is so deeply immersed in his role and does it so well and because anne francis makes the most of her supporting effort br br the color print used on turner classic movies was very clear as well and so it was an enjoyable presentation in that important regard br br hope it runs again soon,positive

it's true that they died with their boots on gives a highly account of george armstrong errol flynn life and career but a remarkable one especially with regard to the battle of the little big horn because it is not a given that a 1941 movie tries to portray both the us american and native american leader chief crazy horse anthony quinn in a light i'm almost tempted to say that little big man in its anti stance seems by comparison further one should not be by the title of the picture – this isn't just a movie about the battle of the little big horn it's a movie about that shows the west point the famed civil war hero the indian fighter and last but not least the husband br br the movie begins with time at the west point military academy where his and behavior lead to frequent during a military exercise he meets his future wife elizabeth bacon olivia de who like himself is a native of monroe to court her but the of the civil war calls him away legendary bravery is shown in a sequence of battle scenes the greatest of which is devoted to his engagement with legendary southern general stuart during the battle of while on leave he travels to monroe and elizabeth who promises him her hand in immediately after the war and elizabeth bacon are married br br with the civil war over is doesn't get a real command and has to go through the slow process of promotion in the small professional american army as he starts to drink his wife in his behalf with former general in chief scott is given the command of the us which he trains to be an elite unit neither nor crazy horse are of battle but greedy and corrupt politicians decide to build a through indian lands in clear to earlier the justice of crazy cause but rides into battle to do his duty as a soldier exposing the conspiracy of the interests in a letter he writes on the eve of battle br br they died with their boots on though short on historical accuracy is as good as war movies and westerns in the 1940s got both and crazy horse are played by major actors neither the indians nor the southern are and the scenes with beautiful de are just charming the only minus and that's why i can't give this picture a full 10 is the of racism in the portrayal of african american servants servant is the stereotypical overweight good natured black br br it is also interesting that the movie does not find fault with either or crazy horse but with the greed of the companies washington politicians with semi criminal methods into breaking they had given to the native americans just a couple of years later the that american could even think of doing anything remotely questionable would probably have been taken as a hint that the film makers were communist br br needless to say that they died with their boots on the fact that overly aggressive tactics often on the greatly the importance of his engagement with stuart and doesn't mention the lack of prior to the battle of the little big horn nevertheless was seen as a war hero by his and had some spectacular exploits to point to in the battles of station station and others though his of arms were not as for the civil war as they died with their boots on suggests br br in any event they died with their boots on is a well made war movie with western elements three outstanding performers flynn quinn and de and offers a positive view of native americans as well as a negative one on big money which wouldn't be seen in major hollywood productions for decades to come it would deserve a 10 if it weren't for the racist of african americans,positive
visconti the artist with the sword courage should be the first word associated with his entire film theater music artistic cultural personal a legacy with powerful consequences and endless he introduced the through the work of an american novelist james cain in he gave anna the most extraordinarily beautiful close ups of her career he gave us and maria but the last word about his life and work rests on the talents of a certain adam low and the voice of what a terrible fate br br for those interested there is a minute documentary by director a man who really knew visconti titled visconti a portrait it is out on dvd distributed by image entertainment,negative
i've seen this movie quite a few times and each time i watch it the and funnier it becomes perhaps its the lack of research that went into nicolas character's persona or just the cheesiness factor because it was such a typical eighties film nonetheless it's a cute love story with extremely funny unique characters i think it's right up there with fast times and weird science quintessential eighties flicks,positive
there were very few good moments in this film only a couple of characters were fleshed out and not that well there were plot holes big enough to drive a truck through the pace creep ed along like an old man there were many moments that the film never came back to like what happened to her how about sister is she better now what about we learned absolutely nothing about him what about the electronic piano guy how about the rich girl that got an abortion what happened to her that was an interesting subplot br br overall this is not a good movie and i recommend another musical that was in this film let's do the time again,negative
this is possibly the worst film i have ever seen i gave it one star simply because it is the lowest score possible whoever thought would ever be a good film the director and cast should be ashamed and then it on me this could all be part of a scare only propaganda could be this bad br br the redeeming feature of is that it's and shameless formulaic storyline make it funny if only the characters had the same depth as created by the itself yet they from sound bite to sound bite without any emotional response whatsoever br br the sad thing about this film is that it could have been so much better informative imaginative and tense has the amateur streak to found in many recent british films where a more focused use of would have made for a better entertainment br br where was,negative
this is a dreadful adaption of charles story the animation is to put it awful and the songs are a disgrace to film songs the high song which they keep repeating i feel sorry for jon pertwee and david jason 2 of finest talents providing the voice for the depressing animation sequence tries his best to perform in this awful production but fails br br avoid this film at all costs even if it is the last film on this planet,negative
some major spoilers you've been warned br br i saw this movie yesterday at film festival and i must admit that being a fan it was really impressive excellent graphic excellent music excellent dubbing excellent action sequences and so on but there's a but all the film was thought exclusively for the that have loved it and that can therefore enjoy every single reference character inside joke you should see a joke with winning music that's particularly comic etc a poor man not inside the world of will obviously see the of technical part but cannot grasp the inner satisfaction of seeing e g appearing and shooting totally out of nowhere he'll ask himself who's this guy and i cannot blame him he cannot even understand what a feels when in the opening sequence there's opening music running in the canyon with his two howling at ruins and then years ago almost all characters have made an appearance or quote including reeve and and reno rude were really goofy and comic to see but the final impression the movie left to me was hardcore final dream but far less for a movie fan,positive
may contain spoilers this movie is the epitome of weirdness i rented it hoping for a film so bad it would be funny however i still honestly can't decide if this film was intended to be scary or humorous it combines the emotions in a rather disturbing way apparently this is trying to be clever but in actual fact it isn't for instance when the knife comes out and tries to kill the teacher it starts playing happy music when we go to we have up beat quasi mr neighborhood music however when the little kid's dreaming of falling in blood and when he finds the leg these are clearly intended to be tense so watch this film and decide for yourself it is too weird to be described in words and for that i say kudos br br nose dive wow,negative
i love this film it is excellent and so funny ben is fit and i wouldn't mind meeting him on holiday i rate this film a 10 because its and i hope they never re make it because it would never be the same funny bit is andre is looking at the moon and he shouts at nicole to outside and look at the that bit always makes me laugh and never gets old another thing is nicole looks a lot older then 14 but a actress but i need help with something does n e 1 no the name of the song played at the end nicole and andre are dancing its really me because i want 2 no what it is because its a nice song,positive
chris eye tv series had always generated a large number of complaints both from the audience and from the people taking part but nothing he has done has managed to stir up more controversy than this the 2001 eye special before the hugely overrated jerry springer opera arrived the eye special held the record for the most complaints received about any tv program ever aired br br the sheer volume of complaints that the general public made towards the eye special was unbelievable many complaints were voiced by people who never even watched the program the subject that the program handled turned many heads but the message was widely the message was even lost on some who enjoyed the program this was not a show that the subject of the show was purely about the media and it's presentation of the subject morris is and always will be a media the notion that the program of and children who have been abused is completely laughable morris never attempts to do either such thing he merely draws our attention to the overwhelming and very often stupid media hype surrounding the subject br br using many of his established characters such as ted and others morris shows just how much the media over blow every little thing about a subject that they themselves created and built up and the result is as funny if not funnier than anything morris has done previously using his tried and tested formula morris manages to trick several celebrities into believing that they are working on a serious documentary in they are made to look like exactly what they are br br all in all the eye special needs to be seen to be believed and with one opening line morris manages to sum up the entire media situation as it stood in 2001 welcome to,positive
this is a totally awesome movie if you haven't seen it yet you damn well should sure the plot is slow to develop the special effects are laughable the acting is ridiculous and the action is badly choreographed but as wrestler would say that's not a bad thing that's a good thing everything about this movie is hilarious especially if you get the dubbed version which has even worse actors it's countless laughs until you get to the end yearning for the sequel where the mummy fights wrestling women thus i give it ten stars unless you're one of those and people with good taste who likes only films of the highest i recommend this utterly movie,positive
we saw this film in toronto at the film festival last year it was a truly moving experience i had heard of the truth and process but as others have written did not know much about the details of the process this film demonstrated the process and the growth that can occur when people are able to face up to their understand the events from the points of view of others involved and together and the others involved in developing the t r process deserve recognition for their understanding of human emotions seeing this film gave me hope for the human race if we can do t r we just might not destroy ourselves people will look back at t and r as the first step out of human and toward maturity br br as a film of course there were flaws i did not notice any major problems in acting directing or writing but for the first time in years i was totally lost in a film so perhaps i did not notice br br see this film the audience in toronto would not give up the stage for the next film we had so many questions and comments for the stars and director tom hooper jamie and went outside to the sidewalk to continue the conversation people came by just to shake their hands and thank them for the film it moved us all,positive
complete entertainment although there are many strange things in the movie that the fairy tale itself doesn't have them including the characters mother and daughter the general concept rocks,positive
mr bean was great fun i loved it every episode was really funny was perfect for this role he's a funny looking bloke and his facial expressions were hilarious br br the series was so successful that they even made a mr bean movie in 1997 which was also pretty funny by the way br br it's funny seeing all the adventures and situations he gets himself into this series was a classic for sure and i still watch an episode from time to time br br mr bean is well worth a 10 10 in my book fans of offbeat comedy must check this out,positive
x m should be viewed by any serious movie buff for the following reasons br br 1 it is one the first and the few movies not to have a happy ending the effect was more profound in post world war ii america than it would be today but nonetheless the sad ending adds to the film's message br br 2 it is also one of the first movies to deal with space travel in a serious fashion using space as a valid setting for drama the lack of scientific background notwithstanding the movie stands on its own as dramatic fare it's not so much a space drama as it is a drama set in space br br 3 the anti nuclear war message is delivered in a serious manner that is not lost in involving large men or animal the effect of martian society from nuclear is and frankly presented the fact that the survivors from the expedition crash land and as such are unable to the lesson learned on mars adds another element of sadness to the tragic ending br br says take a ride on x m,negative
in my opinion the movie was laughable bad dialogue whoever wrote the script please keep your day job it's definitely no godfather or it's good to be on the of the table poor choice of words some of the characters were but what do you expect from a low budget movie with no name actors,negative
this is one of my all time favourite movies if not into cars then forget it this movie features 1 of greatest muscle cars the yeah so the acting not the greatest it was never made to win an oscar the car action will keep you back for more and more there is a cool collection of muscle cars from the 70's and an awesome with a real cool cat it also there is a really cool song sung by terry the main actor the acting is pretty funny when taken lightly but the and drag racing is the main focus in this movie big fast cars with of steel no plastic cars and some cool street dragging i recommend it only to people that are into cars and not someone looking for great acting,positive
like the from a in central park lacks the spark of personality to be the main character that carries an entire movie we're supposed to like him because he's nice but that's about all he is br br his character design is unappealing the top of his head is a sort of that is than the bottom half of his head br br and should not have teeth i know that the parrot in had teeth but maybe that worked because it made him look more like his voice actor gilbert with his little voice provided by martin short looks funny with that big set of in his br br tim who is usually delightful at being evil does some sort of dude accent as the villain might have been a good voice for a comic relief not the supposedly menacing main villain br br the entire plot revolves around the hero and love for female penguin who is just as dull as both of her br br worst of all is the pacing we keep cutting back to the villain to watch him some more this time in dialogue this time in song br br barry may be a great but in animated films like this and his songs feel limp and especially the the only song i liked was the 1930's ish good ship misery song br br i read that the made some cuts in this film against the wishes and that could have caused some of the problems though i suspect the real problem is that they didn't cut the rest of it,negative
this documentary is as unique as it's subject and while was the film manages to show some decent clips of the films you may remember from old time late night one problem joe did hardcore porno at times mixed with even mixed in his gore films the gore films are cult classics going for like 20 a pop for a dubbed copy on the net not for 20 year old films folks i want to see why those are cult classics also as sweet as joe seems he did seem more elegant than one might expect the dude liked to shock both the story and in america show us hardcore rape snuff and in both you'd be how far he goes in ii with that one if you can track down an uncut print although these scenes may be in a documentary of a persons career hey he did it also i would have liked to see more interviews of people joe worked with maybe that's just me wanting to see what laura looks like these days i still think she's a and one of the women ever to grace the genre,positive
once a month i invite a few friends over for a retarded movie night we look forward to movies that are either so bad they're funny or movies that know they don't have a plot and just show a lot of last night we were unfortunate enough to have zombie planet as one of our movies the cinematography is on par with what we're used to but the acting was a different story the lead role is played by a johnny rob zombie wanna be who couldn't get a role in a high school play let alone a low budget horror film our hero who couldn't tell whether or not he wanted to be a bad ass this scene or a coward was one of the reasons why this was the first movie of 30 that i have ever had to stop early during a retarded movie night it had the possibility for greatness with a great twist on the standard zombie but they took it an entirely different direction based on johnny zombie i personally would not recommend this to any of my friends however it's unfortunate that i already invited a few over last night to suffer through 80 of this movie with me,negative
when you look at the cover and read stuff about it an entirely different type of movie comes to mind than what you get here then again maybe i read the summary for the other movie called instead as there were two movies of this title released about the same time with both featuring plots that had key elements in common however reading stuff about that movie here i know i saw this one and not that one and that movie is even less what one would imagine a movie with that title would be about i will be honest i expect more of a zombie type picture and you get that in this movie to some degree however there is more stuff involving the occult and strange powers as the opening scene of the people being taken away by the at the beginning of the film will to the movie also has the old theme of kids going somewhere they do not belong to have some crazy party in this case it is in fact a the other movie i do not think really has that key feature playing that prominent role in the movie and i see the score for this one is higher too still it was just not the movie i was expecting,negative
this movie was recommended to me by several people and after reading all the positive comments from this site i went ahead and bought a copy of the film off ebay the acting in the film is average and a bit hammy especially by the family of cannibals one sequence comes to mind when is and raving to the burnt corpse speaking right into the camera its one of those performances where you just cringe and feel bad for that poor actor its also evidence of some of the worst editing i've seen a terrible jump cut right in the middle of his speech there are a few creepy moments though and at times the music works well but overall the film that great and i dont know why people think wes craven is that great of a director thus far he hasn't showed me anything that i believe to be brilliant the only thing that improved with films production to was his budget,negative
it's not like an historical movie it's not a movie with unforgettable love stories it's not a movie with a spectacular scenario but i can surely say it's a movie with a great atmosphere br br it had that 60's kind of and rebellious spirit a group of friends living in a poor apartment in paris each one making art dreaming of changing the world doing drugs and loving in his very own way br br it takes a lot of patience to watch and a special mood that if you're not in you might find it extremely boring and dull br br i liked a lot the very realistic approach of the events that took place and their immediate effect on lives the fear for their future the difficulty of their living the obstacles in following their dreams br br what i absolutely loved was the black white image the still camera angles were amazing they were like moments it left me the impression of a long slide show of old and very and suggestive photographs i actually had to see the movie again just to take those amazing screen shots br br in one word beautiful,positive
dahmer was one sick guy there's not much to say about him that hasn't already been said except that the many documentaries and films made about him are probably better than this one it's ridiculously cheesy it's so cheesy a guy who posted the whole film on youtube added some to make the viewer laugh br br carl crew who's he stars as serial killer jeffrey dahmer who's killing spree began in 1978 with a young guy dahmer just wanted to be friends with a finally in 1991 with a man he wished to have sex with and eat br br i didn't bother to watch the whole film through it's basically a documentary that shows all the attacks dahmer pulled off before he got caught and since this film was made in 1993 one year before dahmer was to death by a fellow the death of dahmer isn't shown but it probably would've been as cheesy as this cheese fest br br 1 10,negative
is was more than a boring movie that had an interesting start but after half an hour it ended in the worst imaginable way i ever could imagine this movie has lost its story if you can call it a story after half an hour all the next scenes are totally out of the driver is some kind of superman because he survives every attack with gun knife etc even after stabbed in his leg he was able to put her in the box but what a coincidence that there was a box in that garage i really felt sick and when the movie ended it could have been such a great one if the story was far more better in my opinion even a kid would make a better story and why the girl with water and food i quit with counting the plot holes about halfway through and when the movie reached its almost admirably sick over the top final twist i had completely given up better say throw up the worst thing about is actually that it can not be even more worse that worse maybe writer director anderson will learn from this lesson and provide us with a decent thriller next time think the better he'll move to a different genre i keep my fingers crossed but from now on i will read the comment on his future movies first before looking a waste of time,negative
this is my first film i'll confess we chose it mainly because we knew this had the of antonio in gay sex scenes br br unfortunately that is about all that this film has to recommend it i consider myself a fairly sophisticated viewer i like european films art films and i am generally able to recognize a quality film even if it is not to my particular taste br br but this film was a complete blank to me the plot was ridiculous the characters lifeless the box called it a hilarious comedy but i didn't laugh once and constructed with a lot of pointless dialogue i don't get this at all it seems like an amateurish effort can someone me,negative
dislike this movie and everyone would understand why the plot is poor so is the acting but in my opinion it is better than halloween 5 although even this does not give many surprising moments a few scenes are really well directed but these few moments do not deliver the reason to rent it i do not despise violence in movies but features extraordinary strong and bloody scenes which do not fit to the tradition of the halloween movies the most sucking aspect about is the lack of tension no comparison to the first masterpiece br br halloween 6 only gets 4 out of 10 stars from me if you want rent it but don't expect a great horror experience br br,positive
i happened to see a for this movie on spike channel last night it was with a patrick of another movie he made and thought was in this sequel boy was i wrong i see the screen writer also starred in it and i'm thinking the budget was a bit tight i am surprised to see will in the film he has far better credits to his name to be playing in a c movie like this jr was trying so hard to portray the image of his father one of the best bad guy actors ever that failed miserably the only redeeming qualities in the movie was the chicks good looking and with lots of t a just not worth the time or your hard earned dollar to rent it,negative
not often it happens that a great last movie becomes such a moving performed and filmed masterpiece the cast is excellent as well as the what starts up as a merry coming together of a group of well educated citizens of an early 20th century turns into a dark narration about all our fear from death and the sometimes dark shadows of the past thank you mister huston for this last piece of great cinema,positive
i saw wicked little things as part of the 8 films to die for and this was the only film that disappointed me to wit a mom her little girl and her teenage daughter settle down in an abandoned house in the mountains every night however the vengeful spirits of children killed in a coal mine run about and slaughter anyone they find br br i guess the director was on his viewers being that children would be capable of murders and eating human flesh of which there are lavish close ups as a nice homage to george romero because the film just isn't scary otherwise simply put there are far too many establishing shots of the evil kids to their next murder site if someone's gonna get it in the there will be a shot of the kids arriving at the oh the suspense and then moving in for the kill br br come to think of it why do the kids suddenly walk so slowly when they corner their prey and not that i have any experience in this but i think a shotgun blast will throw a child a lot than this film implies nor does it help that the mom is one of the worst parents i've ever seen in any film the lock on the front door is you have an eight year old daughter in the woods with bears and mountain lions fix it you moron plus mom and her oldest daughter look too close together in age even for a teen and there's a pretty unbelievable death which involves up on somebody trying to push a car out of the mud with their butt br br i'm giving this a 3 because it tried as a splatter film it's not bad but for good scares go elsewhere,negative
revenge is not a good movie nor is it terrible br br the acting was wooden at least on part the puppet had all of 2 expressions as did most of the actors except strangely enough the secondary characters most of them were enjoyable over the top br br the special effects in this are pretty b and as i said earlier the puppet really blew br br the 2 best scenes in the movie are the knife through the hand looked pretty good i think they spent about a 1 3 of the budget on that and the shower scene wow i think they must have spent the other 2 of the budget on talking the actress who did that scene to do it outstanding br br seriously this is a slightly below average b horror puppet movie rent if you have a urge to see puppets kill br br the story had a few interesting enough to keep me watching it to the end,negative
and one only in my opinion br br that reason is margaret she is a wonderful actress on stage as well as on the screen we have few chances to see her though i think that's especially true in the united states br br here she plays a sympathetic role not only that but she is also very pretty and meant to be something of a br br walter does not hold up the tradition of performers he is always reliable but he's not much fun he's not a or a consequently this seemed to me a talky with little action or suspense but check it out for,negative
this movie is funny and sad enough i think that it is kinda true if you love office space then you will love this movie because it is another mike judge hit but it is nothing like office space i told every one to see this movie i only wish that it would have been in more theaters so it would have gotten the recognition it deserved i love this movie and would love to see more from mike judge luke wilson is also what makes this movie what it is i am so glad that i will not be alive in the year because if this movie turns out to be true we are all in for a lot of trouble i just hope more people see this movie because i know that they will fall in love with it too,positive
101 is such a stupid show i don't know if that's because the jamie spears is the star of it or what but i just know that the show sucks it's about a girl and her brother who go to a school the jokes in this show are extremely dull and unfunny and i hate every single character except chase and lola heck the jokes on this show are so unfunny that they make jack black look like monty python this show is without a doubt one of the worst shows on it's right down there with and danny phantom in the pit of shame and if this show was a person with any honor it would hang itself in shame br br 1 10,negative
this movie actually hurts to watch not only did i not laugh once i ended up getting a serious headache at times i felt so sorry for the actors involved the best way to sum it up is to note that among sex comedies it is probably the least funny and least sexy of all time i'm only sorry i can't give it a vote of less than one to give this a rating of one is an insult to every movie that scores two or better br br now i see that they're filming a sequel hearing that someone is actually paying these people to make another movie convinces me that there's just too much money in hollywood raise their making a sequel to this movie may very well a crime against humanity perhaps an international should be or u n applied to the filmmakers br br in short it's a really bad movie really really,negative
when pierre or the hit in his first since dick a year earlier the public response was similar to that found among the imdb reviews of x even published like insane which of course he wasn't but when one the writing styles found in dick and pierre one finds in the latter a sharp departure from the simple and often style found in the former clearly he was the overly style of the now forgotten victorian romances that were easily his immortal dick he was not content however to turn out the sort of product that his wanted and that surely would have sold his version of a victorian romance was a twisted cynical one perhaps but brilliant in its the alternate title the is quite appropriate as pierre for and thinks he finds truth we become more and more uncertain what and whom to believe as he for happiness he becomes more and more miserable br br x is a fascinating adaptation of this novel set in modern or nearly modern france though in some ways it leaves little to the imagination and shows us the incestuous relations that could only hint at the which make the novel and its message so are perfectly in the questions it raises are ones that few films have thought to ask yet the answers are left to the viewer br br i recommend a reading of the novel which is much shorter than dick before seeing this movie i hope more people discover this film,positive
better than i expected from a film selling itself on the premise of and inter racial bondage the music is great and cinematography focuses greatly on turning into a trailer trash betty and it works samuel l to shout a lot which he's good at as well as play lots of blues guitar which he looks cool doing even justin timberlake was decent as the mentally disturbed boyfriend i get the feeling that this material under anyone else would have been complete s but instead managed to just out it's own odd little pulp while still being an effective drama,positive

clint eastwood plays a wounded union soldier found by a girl from a school and he's taken in and back to health instead of turned over to soldiers seems that the women folk at this place have motives the not turning him into the and even passes him off as her cousin of course when the man gets to feeling better he becomes quite the man and is pretty much making the rounds but when he gets he really gets in fact so badly he gets his leg cut off but it's for his own good of course not out of things get carried a bit further though when certain women don't get what they want i haven't seen this for years and it still has a certain creepiness to it that by today's standards is still pretty strange not typical eastwood at all if you haven't seen this one it's worth seeing 8 out of 10,positive

there's a good story well hidden and never really used br br the film is short and overly on action and photography somehow character and story development have been forgotten what is left is muddled and superficial br br turn off your brain and will probably find that the time goes quickly enough but unless you are the sort of person that finds deep and meaningful you are going to get no real satisfaction from this film br br watch only if you have nothing better to do and then only if someone else pays for the video rental,negative
i cannot believe i sat through this utter waste of time i was just too fascinated by how bad it was that i couldn't move it reminded me of the feeling when you can't take your eyes away from a horrible car crash or the rotting of a cow you can't help but look but you feel sick and afterward br br let me elaborate plan 9 from outer space for instance is not a bad movie not even star wars holiday special is a bad movie they both are awful to watch for sure but they both have some qualities and at least they leave you the strength to reach for the off button br br this remake in name only of the sci fi classic left me on my couch desperately trying to come to terms with why such scripts get filmed why anyone would the memory of the original classic and whether or not i could resume my normal life without my suddenly acquired longing for the quiet and peace of death br br although death i realized would offer no rest from the horrid memories of this pile of crap as the poor souls in hell are probably forced to watch it over and over again for eternity,negative
don't let the wildly varying reviews of the movie you you'll love it or hate it according to your own tastes however if for no other reason see to experience the excitement of a great actor grabbing your heart as he life into his role ralph richardson was not a great actor for how perfectly he could handle shakespeare rather he is to be remembered for his sensitive treatment of every character he portrayed he was never indifferent to his responsibility as an actor his reading of the part of the sixth lord of his last performance is to be by all who love the theatre,positive
if you feel like wasting minutes on a film that makes no sense is badly written with a bad plot and bad acting then this little gem is for you recommended for those who are about to fall asleep major annoyance will be felt by the awake viewer do not pay to see this movie,negative
the idea of bringing dracula to contemporary times isn't bad after all it might revive the series a bit by a new story element into a series that hammer has all but exhausted in a long series of generally excellent movies however because the present day turned out to be the crappy early 1970s the results were pretty silly and looked more like love at first bite a deliberate comedy seeing christopher lee in a film filled with 70s hip and electric guitar and laughable rock music just seemed beyond stupid to make matters worse the acting is much more over the top here with an intense and silly performance by johnny i also thought it was really funny that it took van to notice that is dracula spelled backwards no one else figured this out for themselves wow what cunning br br so because so much of the movie was bad why did it still earn an almost respectable score of 4 well when the story came to the expected showdown between van peter cushing and christopher lee it was exciting and ended very well additionally and i know this will sound very sexist but if i had to watch a bad film at least stephanie character wore some really nice outfits that revealed her ample talents so to speak so at least it was a pretty film to watch br br by the way the film ends with the phrase may he rest in final peace at the end though this was not the final hammer dracula film with lee he returned for the satanic of dracula just a short time later and it was in many ways even worse than this dud of a monster film,negative
first things first how can someone with his creativity on the right side believe in a movie like this i saw this movie and after end of couple of hours was left scratching my head what exactly is director trying to say br br if its a thriller there are no thrills if its action there is no action a chase sequence there is no drama and the much love story it actually never takes off no passion emotion nothing is there br br actually i never expected wonders from the movie however after the opening it took i thought of giving it a chance i have no problems with whatsoever and i am not one of the guys who will bash him at every given opportunity i went in with an open mind and came out with a closed one br br let's not put the blame of he is just a actor but direction screenplay writing makeup everything has gone for a toss br br is very stiff and would take a lot of time to come up the he can do the don kind of roles is just a kid and it shows on screen with her baby fat and the way she walks br br the only actor who was good was the friend of in the movie i don't know his name but he looks promising br br watch it at your own risk not even good to watch it for a time pass viewing br br strongly recommend to avoid this movie,negative
i went into the closer she gets knowing that it was the story of the mother fighting cancer i expected it to be a very harrowing depressing movie and although the subject matter is certainly emotionally wrenching the remarkable thing about this movie is the positive message it sends it shows a family's total dedication to meet the challenge of cancer together they refuse to lose faith in each other even in the darkest moments br br the most moving moments to me are when this faith is revealed little comments that the mother and the family make to each other that reveal her and their will to survive and their emphasis on love and family in this way it is an uplifting and profoundly hopeful film we should all be so lucky as to be surrounded by family like this in times of serious illness,positive
my wife and i watched this after it off of action this past week it has to be the worst horror flick either of us had ever seen predictable dialogue my wife and i were guessing the lines before they were spoken hokey special effects a screenplay that all over the place i think the part that was the most annoying was the stereotyping of the various characters in the plot not to mention the gratuitous sex scene between two of the young in the movie neither of which had any real purpose other than to bare certain parts of their for the cameras this movie should be as comedy not horror as the villains of the movie were stop motion animated and not believable in the least i can't say that i would have done a better job making a film myself but it was very amateurish and wasn't even a b movie somewhere closer to a d movie or f if that is possible i think even science fiction 3000 would have to pass on this one,negative
i'll say this first the film would've been a 70s sci fi classic if it had been executed a lot better br br that said let's examine the plot it starts with peter graves or is that clarence running for president then cuts to a goofy college campus like full of in goofy and and retarded who all act like they're age 8 it then shows one guy apparently going to america having a party then taken to a medical lab where he is drugged wrapped in a plastic bag and then prepared as if the doctors were for packs okay actually he's being put on ice so the doctors can the organs they need br br it then cuts to another dopey man thinking the place he's living in is a bit strange after a beer can of all plot devices possible he finds in a river makes him look suspicious damn those beer he and some equally stupid love interest of his feel they need to get to the bottom of it all so he makes her stay behind as he escapes through what is basically a large college administration building with some evidence he discovers on the way about and how he's a part of it br br he escapes his after being shot some and an old reporter guy helps him find his the man he was from it just so happens he's a clone of the brother of peter graves after debate about what to do with him and his evidence he goes back to the facility to find his girlfriend who has been in the meantime to be even more stupid harmless and ready to host a talk show according to the crew he is captured and put into cold just like his nazi build friend from the beginning of the film br br meanwhile a confrontation at brothers house results in several deaths including the reporter guy and his wife are killed in the middle of an exciting conversation by a bomb it seems the have won to some extent br br then peter graves turns out to be able to survive being run through with a metal poker by the miracle of parts and giving another for speech just as confront him about the thing br br definitely mst3k fodder but on the low end of the spectrum as far as overall badness goes,negative
as i've said in the title of this review it pains me to say this but reaches the of what hollywood romantic comedies can ever hope to to i've been a critic of both the genre and it's for as long as i can remember myself but on an almost tragic note has caused me to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of two hours of my life with a ridiculous smile across my face br br this movie may be misogynistic and at times but it nonetheless possesses a certain humor about it whose subtlety may only be described as british this is a wonderful attempt by hollywood to make or remake as the case may be a film which appeals to all of our wishes for a romantic comedy which can make us both think and laugh simultaneously i and most give this movie a 9 out of 10 something you shall hardly see me do for a romantic comedy in the near future or so at least i hope,positive
this movie was unfortunately terrible br br clichéd hackneyed stilted dialogue and acting make it almost unwatchable br br the feel good finale is laughably lame br br there is a reason judge career has br br if you don't live in new york and aren't jewish several of the jokes will be br br i too found the need to have the lesbian daughter go straight at the end quite insulting br br i simply cannot how this film was so popular at film br br it is without a doubt one of the worst films i have seen in quite some time,negative
this movie features several well known actors which i usually like so i had at least modest expectations when i rented this on dvd i was highly disappointed in fact i walked off for some somewhere during the last half hour and somehow i ended up in the kitchen rather then going back to the tv the actor performances where poor pretty much all across the board and none of the in the movie felt very convincing virtually all scenes had that just a movie feeling to them i just sat there waiting to hear the director calling cut followed by the crew having a little chat about the scene before moving on to the next br br since the movie is about gangsters most characters are tough and mob like the problem here is just that this whole bad boy attitude is played out so poorly that it just feels like a joke the constant guitar soundtrack really tries to emphasize this atmosphere too but when the same track is played the 18th time it just adds to the already strong feeling of the whole thing just being fake br br maybe it was just a really really bad script maybe it was just poorly executed i'm no movie critic in fact i consider it rare to see something that's really good but this was just plain bad no matter how objective and i'm trying to be not recommended not even as a rental,negative
i'm seldom partial to movies about smart teenagers who have problems with authority but toy soldiers has grown on me with repeated viewings this is as much a movie about billy growing up and becoming an adult as anything else and i give credit to sean and writer director daniel jr that they don't make a big deal of that but let it just unfold and sneak up on you the of friends their grief over death and their joy at their survival all are genuinely moving and i have to admit i take a certain patriotic and perhaps slightly glee when the u s army guys finally move in and kick some terrorist butt general kramer and the heroic robert folk score is the on top i'm sure i could find a hundred reasons not to like toy soldiers but as long as we don't take it too seriously i don't see the need this is one of the most entertaining bad movies in my,positive
a ridiculous movie a terrible editing job worst screenplay ridiculous acting a story that is completely br br if god was going to decide if movies should continue to be done judging by this one the entire world movie industry would now be dead br br a wonderful movie to show that cinema should not be done by people who think they can make movies br br i am still wondering who are those two girls who show up in the movie for over half an hour and are never introduced to us br br,negative
i have been around this old earth longer than most and have seen nearly all the westerns that have have produced old west history is my passion moon is one of the most poorly produced directed and acted stories i have ever seen there was very little historical accuracy but then it is obvious you were operating on a budget which br br played a distinct roll in this insult to intelligence i am happy that i this show it was bad enough having to sit and watch the movie plus put up with the inane commercials once again there was not one actor that came anywhere near convincing i kept hoping it would improve as the three days progressed wrong i'm ashamed to say i wasted 4 1 2 hours of what precious little time i have left,negative
okay here's the thing i've read through the comments of other viewers some the film and some saying it's the funniest darkest comedy ever made of tarantino etc well not exactly but guess what it's still an enjoyable and ultimately funny film not brilliant not trash tyler gives a great performance and you absolutely cannot take your eyes off her she's a woman with very strong ideas matt dillon a greatly underrated and under used actor is wonderful as ever he always manages to that delicate line between and soul and he pulls off the comedy beautifully john goodman though the religious overtones probably funny in the script really don't work paul reiser is very good definitely better than he was on tv br br the usually unbearable michael douglas is actually great in this role as for his well see the film between this and wonder boys you're actually reminded of the fact that douglas can act the movie will make you laugh in parts okay not exactly belly laughing but definitely in the i'm amused i'm very amused category if you're renting this expecting to see another pulp fiction forget it but if want something kinda hip and kinda fun this is a damned good choice,positive
2006 shown in the u s as the golden door was written and directed by this film is different and i think better than most movies about people who leave europe and come to the united states br br the film begins with scenes in a poor rural region of we always hear that is a rocky island but you won't really understand the of that phrase until you see the first half hour of the golden door br br the middle section of the film is devoted to the long voyage to the u s most films show us ten minutes of people in the third class section becoming and then show us the statue of liberty not this movie we get a sense for life below and it isn't charming we never actually see the statue of liberty either br br finally the typical movie will give us another ten minutes of island and then the immigrants are walking through new lower east side not here the island experience about one third of the footage br br vincenzo is outstanding as who is bringing his two sons and his mother to the new world charlotte is equally good as lucy reed a mysterious who also speaks italian br br there are some strange touches in the movie especially the sound track with songs by nina there must be some symbolism there but i couldn't make sense of it br br another reviewer has already pointed out that this film will do better viewed in a theater rather than on dvd still large screen or small screen it's worth seeking out,positive
this was something i had been looking forward to seeing the ultimate movies had both my expectations and since iron man has been one of my favorite marvel characters i thought that this same production team would be able to do some really great stuff with an iron man solo title but the final film was unsatisfying i wasn't expecting them to spend most of the movie paying tribute to iron man gray armor the red and gold armor is seen for maybe ten or so minutes all together not a major complaint but not what i expected from the ads and box the worse thing however was the story the acting and the cell cgi animation for the monsters and iron man armor that was not convincing it didn't blend in well with the cell animation at all even on it's own it seem stick like and lifeless tony character arc as incredibly slow as it takes is so forced and unconvincing i wanted to see this movie because i love iron man but after forcing myself through the film i wondered if they couldn't have come up with something that had been as good as the ultimate movies,negative
this show came to canada via in the mid 90s and i really really loved it then even 10 later watching the various news networks i cant help but think of the cynical manipulation that goes on in the name of ratings and the various show we all see on tv as depicted in various episodes the scripts are tightly written and the actors all have impeccable comic timing and none of it is by an idiotic laugh track there is a lot of funny material here really well executed and we don't need to be told when to laugh and what to laugh at i don't understand why this show never took off in north america as its truly a gem i was really excited to see the dvds available even though they are pal format i figured i would rip them to my computer and then watch the converted files i took a chance and ordered it from 6 to 8 weeks later i had all 3 seasons even better it worked on my dvd player i suspect any player bought in the past 2 that does will play them great stuff 10 later the episodes all hold up really well you don't need to know anything about australian politics to get the humor as it will all be familiar to western audiences my wife and i had a 10 day fest and are still weeks later after watching all episodes,positive
why a film maker with a track record like wes craven would want to lend his name to a tedious collection of cliches like this is anyone's guess and if he did up any money for it all of judging by the looks he should have been on the director's door for a the minute the film was released there are many alien rip offs and this is one of the worst even the reliable lance with a character dumb enough to allow his kids to wander around a dangerous government lab can't save it as a cure for insomnia this rates a 10 as a piece of quality film making forget it,negative
what an awful adaptation the worst part was the music and playing in a story set in the early the only character that didn't bore me to sleep was robert hardy i had to fight to keep my eyes open on this one and i love jane austen movies usually i didn't even rent it i borrowed it from the library they should have paid me to take it i don't quite understand how catherine and henry managed a passionate kiss at the end when throughout the movie they had no chemistry or indication whatsoever that they cared for one another and her brother were way overdone it was no secret to me immediately that she and her brother were the bad guys and part of the excitement of jane austen movies is the discovery that who you think is good isn't this is probably on my list of the ten worst movies i've seen,negative
well it might be a kid's movie perhaps but i'm not gonna let my kids from 9 watch it so the one who say it is a kid movie hmm it is teenager movie i agree so but back to the movie it is about a boy who can lie very good so good that at the end nobody truth or lie anyway it is a nice movie to see nice screen play i vote a 8 for screen play and story i think they writers a lesson it truth is never,positive
carla literally the screen in this crime caper her sex appeal ample and sexy southern accent more than make this film but the film has so many other things to make it almost a modern classic simon performance for one thing truly that of a great actor is so perfectly cast it makes me wonder why he's not a huge star rounds out this crew and literally steals this show other easily the best performance in the movie emma thompson and alan are so utterly brilliant i cannot even describe it great chemistry br br the music is so that it was a character in and of itself to behold br br people may say it's tarantino influenced i disagree it's clearly unique and clever in it's own right sebastian does a wonderful job at directing this tightly woven film and a lot of scenes that left me the ending is perfectly sinister and you never see it coming all in all a lovely film that to me is the very definition of what a good movie should be,positive
just watched this film on tv and it was awesome br br had just planned on watching it whilst doing some work however i ended up watching the whole film with out doing work as it was so good br br actors my not be very well know but the story line makes up for it the fact that the actors make are less well known only makes it more believable that the events could occur i did not feel a biased towards one character as i have no judgement of the types of character as i have never seen any of the actors in a film before which made it even more enjoyable br br would recommend watching it,positive
this was as a sequel to crash dive which was a very good film in the low budget category i assumed this movie would be good also but boy was i wrong first this movie has nothing to do with crash dive other than they both take place on secondly the plot can be slow tedious and in some cases totally preposterous br br this movie will not hold most people's attention i remember reading a book during the slow boring scenes there will be scenes that are supposed to be used for dramatic effect that will make the viewer laugh out loud the scene is definitely one after i got over my initial shock that anyone would slip this in and not know people would not only it but laugh at the sheer silliness of it i was able to find humor in it br br if you want to see in a good sub flick watch crash dive and leave this lame film on the shelf,negative

i'm afraid i must disagree with mr as although he is correct in saying this isn't a comedy it has many other merits the plot is a little mad at parts but i believe it it all fits together nicely creating a satisfying enjoyable film the last scene was rather abysmal compared to the rest of the film but the actual ending of the plot a few scenes previously is very interesting showing just what someone will do under circumstances br br i would recommend this film to fans of thrillers and action movies but if you're a fan of gangster movies then as long as you don't expect expect something as deep as then you should still find it enjoyable,positive
much praise has been upon but i don't think it's that good it certainly has a distinctive look but it lacks just about everything else story purpose direction excitement you name it i'm a big sci fi fan and i make it a point to watch all the sci fi shows i can i've almost finished the four seasons of and at this point i'm not very satisfied the show does have a few good things most notably black who's sadly missing from the first few episodes of season four but they are very few and very far between as a whole the show is marred by a lot of very silly stuff such as fantasy elements rather than sf and many many episodes in season four are messy and very poorly structured and one just feels that it isn't going anywhere it's mostly just non adventures with thin long running plot lines which develop slowly well sometimes it's a little bit but it only lasts for a very few episodes at a time br br effects wise there are a few impressive things here and there out in space occasionally but the show seems stuck in the same style of effects which frankly gets old fast outlandish and unconvincing puppet aliens the show a great deal and i've come to prefer by far the episodes where regular human looking characters are the focus br br i think the are by far the most stylish and intriguing and interesting figures on the show they succeed in being a convincingly alien culture despite their all human appearance there are a few really cool episodes with them in the first season where as a captain and and eventually destroys one of their secret such episodes can reach a rating of 8 out of 10 but i cannot award the show as a whole more than a 4 rating br br aside from the which themselves are somewhat too single and to be really nuanced the show simply doesn't offer anything important or significant that you need to know or want to see it does contain a few good ideas and is not a total loss br br this is just my opinion of course but as a seasoned sci fi fan i think it counts for something and may be of help to others there aren't a lot of good sci fi shows out there but star trek any series and especially the new battlestar galactica are definitely better than but if you're a huge fan of mediocre sci fi shows you may well like too br br my rating 4 out of 10,negative
watching this film caused quite an emotional reaction this is what today's documentaries are all about it's refreshing to watch something so personal honest and real mr thoughts opinions and are rarely seen these days and are incredibly well displayed here it's a fine line to walk between personal truth and exploitation this film very carefully and quite successfully br br one would think that learning about how a seemingly normal couple falls short of expectations would give birth to but it doesn't quite the opposite it made me feel good i feel that i now know more about marriage about women br br definitely check this out it'll make you think exactly what a good documentary should be designed to do,positive
as a fan of dan i watched this film when it was recently shown in the middle of night on tv i wasn't expecting much so it came as a big surprise that i loved it so much br br this is the type of film that dan seems to love to make a chance for him to it and not take things too seriously if you loved him in the blues brothers or you'll know what i mean and you'd be wise to check out the couch trip br br avid fans of will also have fun all the tiny to his other films in the script br br i can't describe this film without spoiling it for you so all i can do is tell you to check it out i can't praise this film highly enough and it must surely be time for a dvd release,positive
to truly appreciate this film you had to be there acting or have been a crew member br br yes i am and at the old age of have serious doubts about what we were doing did br br it all started out to be like a john waters type thing friends acting badly in bad films somewhere along the line the fun people who were supposed to be friends didn't speak anymore and bad became worse br br i regret the bad image i might have projected try to fit in size one gold pants br br other than that the film sucks so badly i would not even make my mama watch it br br to my director cast and crew i say br br why can't we just all get along br br it's been over twenty years people,negative
i can get over the political parody even if this was suppose to be a masters of horror flick br br but what i can't get over is the blatant usage of our war heroes and their sacrifice as in some washed up horror political statement br br to me it was purely insulting to and our heroes i have family at the idea that this guy would even portray the graves being disturbed just makes me want to br br i'm done with and done with,negative
this all looked quite promising an up and coming presidential is framed for a series of murders as he has been off that a conspiracy is going on within the white house it stars the excellent donald sutherland among several capable actors yet very few people have a good word to say about it br br the whole thing really needed some depth you can pick up the idea that the president is being too left wing with his ideas and some within the government want him dead to stop those ideas being carried out conrad appears to simply want the country to be his way rather than the way of the elected leader br br however the action scenes had a few logic holes the and already mentioned and the rather assassination method and linda character is completely uninspired her 'the my was ludicrous that would make the president about 10 when that happened worse still was her predictable final scene with bishop br br they could have made a challenging inventive political thriller but either it or failed they could've gone to town on special effects but the good ones were wasted they could have achieved so much more in general this was barely worth the it cost me,negative
director j s presents something a little scary and a little creepy but nothing more a widowed mother karen a home in the mountains so she takes her two daughters and moves into the estate in what seems the middle of nowhere but it is somewhere somewhere ninety some odd years ago a tragic mining accident claimed the lives of numerous children who were forced to labor in the dark and the area and especially the estate seems to be haunted by the spirits of the tiny little wicked souls the legend is the screaming children come out in the to seek their revenge and you better believe it also in the cast ben cross taylor chloe julie rogers and geoffrey lewis,negative
when i watched with my girlfriend she how complicated and she is right of course when you are used to simple one linear plots especially violent hero vs crook schemes is hard to follow a couple of the negative reviewers here also have missed one or more important points other about the confusing flash backs come on this is not the kind of movie from which you can leave to visit the toilet come back and get hooked again within a few seconds this one demands full concentration and a keen eye on details then it is really not that hard to figure out what's happening and when the director has left more than enough clues in all scenes br br the first 3 4 of the movie centers about the question why did max and lisa split the film as my girlfriend begins as a romantic suggesting that two lost lovers will find each other again having experience with french movies i predicted that the story pretty soon would get a sick twist and i was right in the end of the first part it becomes clear after many twists and turns that max and lisa were manipulated by alice max did not know that lisa had left and why lisa did not know why max did not contact her in rome and left her without a trace when she returned to paris the only one who did was alice and she had her own reasons to keep her mouth shut br br after both max and lisa have found out the truth the question of course becomes can be well of course not time has passed by and things have changed br br many european movies use a story telling technique i fully enjoy there is no exposition of the basic conflict in the beginning after which two or more interested parties try to decide in their own advantage instead the is gradually fed with bits and pieces of the plot and hardly knows more than the main characters is a fine and subtle example of this technique in the first half alice seems to be a side character slowly it becomes clear that she is key figure br br acting is simply great vincent is perfect as the somewhat naive and character who risks a life just to hunt a dream from the past monica is very beautiful of course but also competent jean paul provides the necessary comical touch is very convincing as the neurotic woman plagued by feelings of guilt and regret br br the only reason i did not gave it a 10 is the somewhat unsatisfying end of course it was necessary because of the desired after all the events max is exactly on the point where the movie begun only and alice has paid for her sins but still the little twists on the airport are a bit artificial max too easily lisa for alice alice too easily decides to reject max who has been her dream for so long max too easily returns to his fiancée but then again i don't know how how this could be achieved without the elegant i guess sometimes artists have to give up realism for beauty,positive
this movie is a cyborg in and of itself half nonsense half lifetime original movie br br as a cyborg this movie has but one objective to make you wish that you had spent the duration of the film in a dark room yourself in the br br unlike many people i did not rent this movie because of angelina jolie i'll explain why i rented it shortly i am not a big fan of ms though i will say that her performance was stellar her blank stare and robotic acting really did have me believing that she was an hooker if anyone has a clip of her on the actor's explaining how she prepared for this role please send it my way i'll make sure to use it when i try james for crimes against integrity br br so what drove me to rent this movie one would think that it was the hope of seeing angelina but it wasn't no the reason behind this rental solely on one of the images on the cover of the dvd that of jack face half of his face was robotic when i saw that i imagined of slowly through a fiery laying waste to any humans that were foolish enough to resist in my eye every member of this army of had a red glowing eye a red glowing eye that looked at humans and saw only meat they were to be the of oblivion a cold apocalypse a nightmare from which humanity would never it's a beautiful image that i will till the end of my years br br like most things in my life the actual movie did not live up to my expectations no there was only jack palance and the only visible that he had were located on his legs sadly those didn't really enhance anything that is unless you count walking like a victim as a super power at least their was a scene where jack like a trigger happy patient got to shoot the hell out of some people i was waiting for him to yell i'm damn tired of paying too much for unfortunately any of rage were few and far between br br what the movie did have an abundance of was a poorly developed love story about a man a k a poor man's de niro and a cyborg angelina jolie a k a demon of john oh man can the love between a romeo of flesh and a juliet of ever be able to last it can if you follow jack simple advice you have to taste each other's time br br yeah i'm not sure what that means however i am sure that i do not want jack palance to be the one to explain it to me i sure as heck don't want him to show me as an experiment i suggest that you ask your significant other if he she thinks that we have reached a level in our relationship where we can begin to taste each other's time,negative
i am a for b movies i love the old drive in fare like this movie this film made for very little money it seems does do one thing that some bigger budgeted films fail it is it is gory it has no real plot but it entertained me for an hour and a half i was either laughing or covering my eyes in shock there are a few great effects like a shot from inside a guy's mouth when he gets stabbed in the by a knife and it up through his tongue and into the roof of his mouth and one gross out with a guy getting his out but there is also loads of zombies and some psycho killers after texas chainsaw massacre and a demon possessed scarecrow i loved the dialogue that the killers as they torture and kill people it has great camera work and some cool editing tricks this one is more original than the first bloodbath and the undead look better but it is still after those dubbed trashy zombie movies of the 70's and 80's and it still has a factor that ranks mighty high don't expect romero just second rate fulci i would say that horror fans will like it and it is funny and and a fast ride through b movie land,positive
so seagal plays a detective named john who lost his partner on a drug investigation into surprise surprise not to or anything but my father was born and raised in hence my last name and now he's a doctor in california so no matter what the movies would have you believe there are some things other than drug dealers and cocaine that come out of br br at any rate in a drug bust gone bad loses his partner and accidentally kills a naked prostitute inspiring him to go to confession somewhere that i have never seen him go before in any of his movies before or since it was actually pretty interesting seagal has a tendency to come off as almost the way he never gets much involved with women other than as a plot device and the way the occasional seduction attempt whether by a stripper or by a lover never the slightest bit of interest from him he's all get the bad guys all the time br br but in the confession booth he to having sold drugs evidence and even slept with in order to get the information he needed to put the bad guys behind bars i hope i'm not getting in trouble with god by telling you the priest tells him to go to his family so he decides it's time to from the force br br the next third of the movie is an exercise in the paper thin characterization characteristic of films marked for death is the story of seagal against a band of drug dealers and these guys have no about pushing their products in broad daylight br br goes back to visit his old high school coach max a minimal effort by keith david and right in the middle of practice there are some of these dread locked sitting right there in the crack to some looking high school girls br br maybe i just had a experience in high school but i didn't know crack dealers and hung out at school in the middle of the day at any rate it's not long before learns how evil these guys are they're not just crack to high school kids but the coach has been losing football players regularly to their drugs they engage in stare downs with max and since that's not enough his 13 year old niece died in their br br ah ok we get the picture i'm sure they also torture and beat up old women and maybe steal candy from children too just for good measure is it really this hard to establish who the bad guys are 13 year old niece died in their wow br br anyway not only does the movie not know how to develop villains without to what basically down to movie name calling where evil deeds are assigned to them through dialogue but they also don't know how they should act br br the leader of the drug dealers is named and i suppose that alone should tell you something about the kind of movie this is is a cartoonish man with these bright green eyes which i am guess must be an important part of his character because he spends a good majority of his screen time with his eyes half out of his head his favorite means of is to scream really loud in his wildly overblown accent with his face quite literally less than an inch away from whoever he's yelling at this guy likes to get so into faces that he has to turn his head to the side so their don't touch all i could think about was how the poor guys would deal with his breath br br man they do not want you to forget that these guys are by the way their accents are so exaggerated and overblown that for most of the movie it's nearly impossible to understand them not that it matters it doesn't matter what they're saying all you need to know is that everything that comes out of their mouths is some kind of evil drug related thing they're just the that drugs and kill people the movie must have been a huge hit in br br my biggest problem with the movie is that the particularly of the bad guys as i've described are spectacularly goofy even for a seagal film they are so cartoonish and weird that it's impossible to take them as anything other than a b movie creation something slapped together to provide fodder to whom seagal can his characteristic brand of down br br but there is also a bizarre kind of in the movie that just makes it all come off as weird for example a i guess you would call her at one point puts some kind of curse on by if i remember correctly spitting of onto a live that's hanging upside down before it and dripping its blood onto a picture of hmm interesting br br sadly it's this same woman that warns that his family has been marked for death by these people meaning they've got some voodoo on them not to anyone but if i was told that my family had been cursed by people like that i would just laugh at it doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to take much stock in freaky voodoo br br but the set up as you can see is pretty standard for a seagal film unique villains i guess you could say although not very impressive definitely the film of early,negative
this world war ii cartoon had some very good sight gags in it and its decidedly above average for its genre it was nicely drawn too with some great angles good detail and well lots of interesting sights br br what it amounts to is out at sea in his little boat and accidentally running into a small japanese boat with two guys on it incidentally why were the always with big round glasses and teeth br br anyway these harmless looking japanese sailors want to sign a peace oh boy thinks the wait until the sees this in one of those great artwork scenes i was to above we slowly see how that little japanese ship is really a big and is in deep um water why you double crossing yells our sailor man br br how he gets out of the situation is fun to watch,positive
very nice movie i was the channels on my tv and i usually ignore the channels that air drama movies but then i saw this channel that old school movies and it is where i saw this movie at first when i saw the title the cure i thought it's gonna be boring but then i got hooked when i saw brad was in this movie because of one of my favorite movie of all time is the client where brad also stars then the scenes was getting better and better the story is so beautiful and very touching i cried hard in this movie which i don't usually do great casting and there are so many beautiful lines quotes in this movie which is very striking and made me cry hard now i bought my own copy on dvd and i always recommend it to everyone,positive
i've enjoyed this movie ever since i first saw it in the theatre some movies have a cast of characters and a script that come together in perfect and this is one of them the characters illustrate some truths about getting the best out of people working together building a team and achieving goals without ever preaching morality the situations are crafted well and are consistent with the movie's opening premise the tension builds nicely and the humor is clean and consistent throughout the movie manages to pull me right in to root for the characters and to laugh pretty well all the way through this is a feel good movie as good as they come br br what me is that a movie which appears so simple can be so long term entertaining the music is a perfect copy of music in the typical serious post war navy movies which helps to create the humor and point out that greatness is in the eye of the the scenes in the credits are a great music video of in the navy which deserve their own full screen special feature the scenes and cuts are crafted well and the casting and acting is right on br br this movie is a classic as great as any ever made without any in fact the lack of is what makes it so much fun to watch i love these guys and gal br br the other day i thought of the film and wondered whether it was available on dvd good fortune has come to us and the dvd came out in may 2004 i headed to the store and up a copy then my wife and i enjoyed another hilarious night in front of the big screen i've rated this movie as a 10 because it comes together on all levels far better than many high budget films and oscar winners this is entertainment br br listen up fox home video you have a great movie in your and it's a shame to find a cheap shot dvd with badly off colors only 8 years since release so why not the colors and present the film as it was meant to be seen i'd gladly pay a few bucks more to get the picture right i'm grateful to have my own copy now give us the eye candy that the film deserves and how about the credit sequence as a full screen music video special feature,positive
others have commented on the somewhat strange video i think they were trying to capture what you'd be looking at when attending a live performance the feet the faces the overall view unfortunately it falls a bit short but having said that watching colin dunne is nevertheless it's an interesting contrast to michael in the original video the progression of the show is evident changes from the original production are evident br br is the highlight of the video in my opinion winston is unbelievable as is his partner in the piece br br i think the audio was better in this version than the original video production 1995 in 5 1 on dvd it's excellent br br despite the flawed it's a must own for fans,positive

this film was basically set up for failure by the studio one anne rice author of the book offered to write the screen play but was refused by the studio two they tried to stuff 2 in depth novels in to a movie br br i maintain the only way for these two books vampire and queen of the damned to work in a live action form would be through a mini series first off the the vampire alone takes place from the to the 1980's and has a of character vital to the plot understanding of the main character the entire book vampire sets up the events of the second part queen of the damned without that full understanding the premise of a movie is destroyed br br was not cruel and vicious to all he was not wanting to go along with plans did not make did not love jesse or make her could not go remain by the light was not after david nor the other way around every character was completely represented wrong basically same names different story br br if they wanted to make a vampire movie fine even if you wanted to be inspired by these novels fine but don't back into the theaters off the success of great novels and characters just to destroy what her loyal readers have come to love br br if you haven't read the books you won't understand the film really if you have read the books you will be insulted that being said i am such a huge fan i had to see the movie knowing full well this was going to be the case and still went for it catch 22 must see it will hate it,negative
please don't kill me i'm just an actor can you play dead it's difficult to describe this show it's like a crime where the bad cop is an ass literally what's great about the show is some of perfectly awful one liners cracking out such gems as provides some great laughs at points sadly at other times the show seems to drag along at a slow pace making it almost hard to watch this is definitely the kind of show you'll love or hate there's essentially no it's not the best show on adult swim but it has some strong points it's worth looking into just to see if you enjoy it i know i did,positive
it worked director christian created a very clever action spy thriller the actors donald sutherland and especially quinn gave a top performance what a pity that we see quinn in others movies like this one till now he was simply the best in the role as carlos for what he should have earned the oscar the picture was very nice the scenes are fast paced from beginning to the end and the story let you a chance to get bored the movie is too underrated and i recommend it to anyone otherwise you will miss something great believe me you will not be disappointed why i give it 9 10,positive
well now that all of the director productions friends and relations have posted their reviews after seeing this at various festivals i guess it's time to show reviews written by people who actually paid 10 bucks to see it br br like the director's dear jesse the only other one of his films i have seen suffers from a lack of focus and too many ideas into an indie budget i swear this guy might have better luck doing miniseries i kept waiting for the various plot threads to come together but they only at points blatantly in a way obvious to all but the most dense viewer it was like watching a season of lifetime made for tv movies into one long did i say sketch on the old carol show maybe an male could take his girlfriend to see this and then hey remember all of the chick flicks we went to last year the one about the mother the one about the gay guy the one about the christian housewife we went to three chick flicks last year so now we have to go see terminator 4 i guess one has to do anything to cast a familiar actor to get funding but what oh what is bonnie hunt doing in this flick she isn't exactly known as a dramatic actress and this attempted performance won't be sending mr oscar to her door i mean speaking of lifetime original movies wasn't valerie or fawcett available ms hunt has always come off to me as cold maybe she should have played the other mom i wish i would have chosen capote to fill my weekly gay themed indie oh well maybe next week i think there is a good reason why capote is playing at tons of theatres all over the nyc area and this one is playing at only one let the faith in this flick assure to to run in the opposite direction if you don't trust this review,negative
this is a biography of a star of the black and white shows a certain boy johnson whether this person ever really existed i don't know but considering the cast lists a certain lee white and playing said character as well i assume the man did exist and that this is a white washed the pun version of his career the plot such as it is follows boy from career heights to depression at the death of his wife in his of the child to friends and his return at his daughter's birthday and stage debut for another forgotten man benny fields plays boy the man has a lovely voice but no acting talent whatsoever and is a boring on screen george tries her best to the works to no judy clark does the best of betty i've ever seen although i believe she thought she was being herself the with many musical numbers for its short running time of 70 minutes earned a deserved oscar worth a look,negative
this was a very brief episode that appeared in one of the night gallery show back in 1971 the episode starred sue of movie fame and joseph who play a baby and a vampire respectively the vampire hires a baby to watch his child which appears to be some kind of werewolf or monster while he goes out at night for blood the baby is totally oblivious to the appearance when she first sees him and only starts to put two and two together when she notices that he has no reflection in the mirror has an odd collection of books in the library on the occult and hears strange noises while the vampire goes to talk to the child she realizes that the man who hired her may not be what she thought he was originally she out the door the vampire comes out looking puzzled and the episode is over i don't know what purpose it was to make such an episode that lasted just 5 minutes they should just have expanded the earlier episode by those same 5 minutes and this one a total wasted effort,negative
for the record the 1949 version of the blue is not the original film as many have stated br br this story was filmed in great britain in just after the novel was written as much as i'd love to see the 1949 version i'd thoroughly enjoy an opportunity at seeing the true original release of this story on film br br granted the 1980 film with christopher brooke and the two youngsters was filmed with beautiful cinematography the acting didn't seem all that great when i first viewed this film but after having viewed this a few times it becomes obvious that two children growing up on an island without adult would indeed have a simplistic way of approaching life whether it be in their language appearance or daily activities br br although some have been fortunate enough to view the 1949 blue i cannot help but wonder if there is anyone living who can remember the release of this story to film,positive
i cannot understand the need to jump backwards and to scene set and pad out the plot showing that someone has a skill right before they use it i believe is our intelligence it's starting to feel a little contrived and as though they are making up for being so vague for the first three series a little disappointing this episode br br furthermore using past quirks like ability to know when a storm is ending is frankly insulting are we supposed to and or laugh at the side of locke br br this episode was all over the place,positive

might contain spoilers br br this is just a good movie lots of good silly stuff to laugh at however do not watch the tv version they cut to much out dom is rather awesome as the mafia don who is hired to kill robin all i can say about his ten minutes it's a long drive from jersey also you gotta love them checking the script to make sure robin gets another shot also century fox br br any bad stuff the at the beginning and the end seem rather out dated the songs were rather lame one time while watching this movie i could think out a few more times when they could have thrown in another joke or 2 br br on the whole however an enjoyable movie experience a must watch for comedy fans,positive
this is an old dark house movie a young couple creep around a weird mansion said to be run by satan where they run from and into one after another of an ill crew a lady in distress an ape an ape man a midget various odd looking people and for some reason two chinese they end up in a throne room where the hero is required to play a price is right sort of contest involving a climb up seven steps with seven hence the title for my taste it's too much of the same thing the around fun house corridors is amusing for a while then becomes repetitive by comparison with harold lloyd or buster keaton or laurel and hardy doing the same bit in two it isn't truly funny it's not frightening either and apparently wasn't intended to be the household is too absurd most films in this genre balance the comedy with a genuine threat and usually two one that the characters are led to believe is real and another for which it's a cover here the cover isn't to be taken seriously and neither is what covered a few moments of fun emerge from the mix but it's rather heavy fun the novel on which the film was based was a straight thriller and i think could have been played straight to better effect and still could be,negative
i've had never been disappointed by a kurosawa film but this is probably the first is the worst i've seen from this director br br films is advertising this as the most frightening film yet from kurosawa what the most frightening film from kurosawa is definitely and if you think this is horror your in for a surprise this can't be classified as horror or thriller this is a drama and a pretty bad one at that a lot of scenes that were meant to be shocking have turned out being funny and a lot of the plot is really confusing and since it's kurosawa the pacing is slow but it's so slow that you'll lose interest forty minutes in and feel like doing something else the thing that annoyed me the most was the use of cgi now cgi if used well can be really cool but if executed with little care it can be a disaster i think that describes one scene here that has a very minimal use of cgi br br the only positive thing i can give is that it has really good acting gives a great performance along with the rest of the cast but that's pretty much it br br please do yourself a favor and go watch or if you want to be scared this is a bad bad attempt at a smart drama which it is intelligent but well there's a lot missing br br 3 10 for the good acting,negative
lame b horror that takes itself too damn seriously considering its subject matter concerns an aging old dear who has been turned into a creature of the night by a who has come to rent a room from her when said is killed off mom has to go out to feed on her own and that causes some family strain and also some attention from the authorities br br my main complaint is that this film should have brought the funny it failed to do so although it did have some mild gore and creature makeup effects to keep the b movie crowd happy i've seen worse but i wouldn't give this one a 4 5 10,negative
women who remove their clothes at the drop of a hat or a are about the only stand out points in a film that is otherwise slow and although the basic premise of the story offers a wealth of possibilities they are never developed to any satisfying degree and exposition is almost non existent a large of the film is mere through the corridors of a multi clinic hospital the overall effect is bleak and a la,negative
the only thing i expected that this film didn't have was an intelligent talking motorcycle br br this film is just plain awful i gave it 1 star which of course means i enjoyed it tremendously bad acting bad writing bad directing bad fight choreography the only real actor in this movie is martin who of course does a good job playing the villain although the character is your standard cardboard evil villain even the so called plot twist at the end was no shock br br there was so much to make fun of in this movie i enjoyed it a lot and it did have a few impressive car wreck stunts br br like bad movies check this one out want a good movie not here,negative
i saw 2 a few months ago and t get to see the original a few days ago and this is far superior to the sequel okay it s not a million miles away from the plot of seven but it s still compelling much of my praise has to do with ken s performance as red a policeman who seems to have led a very unlucky life and someone who has a terrible secret it d be easy for to go over the top but he plays the role in a fairly subtle way likewise the murders are very shocking but unlike the sequel where the murders are carried out in a rather manner there s actually little violence shown br br my only criticisms are that the red was too obviously a red which meant i t taken in by the shock twist and you would probably see the shock twist coming so i won t bother with a spoiler alert and that when the real murderer was revealed it seemed both slightly far fetched and caused a few plot holes to appear in the story if i remember correctly the sequel had similar problems once the murderer was revealed so maybe it d be a good idea not to make 3,positive
leaving aside the and of the film mentioned by other viewers i must say that it seemed to me a film about power which is in my opinion one of the most i saw the drama of an emperor and people it seems to me that the director wanted to pose a question of what the benefit of nation is and what the price of happiness for all is is there justification for the benefit and happiness how much can be for the security and peaceful existence is the idea of a powerful would be empire worth to misery and killing thousands of its citizens now it seems to me that the emperor himself does not know the answer and seeks to learn it all the time the film runs he is desperately torn between these desires and at the same time psychologically by the discovery of his true origin he seems to half hate his subjects for having to his father and his love half love the people as a good emperor should no wonder his actions are controversial and emotions confused it seems to me that as another film presenting the problem of power of man over other men the film is a success,positive
as a nice to one of the above comments in was in about two weeks before the release of this movie i was approached being white to dub some of the lines of this movie in a recording studio br br while i speak german as well i was kindly asked to do all dubbing scenes in english otherwise it would be too confusing for the indian audience so therefore all germans in this movie actually speak english funny enough i did multiple characters so if you would want to actually spoil some time by watching the movie again listen carefully br br all non indian characters are only done by 4 voices,negative
marathon has a very interesting premise excellent sounds and good scenery unfortunately the movie aside from these aspects falls flat on its face for a woman trying to complete so many in a day she spends an awful lot of time standing around and not doing i believe there is more walking shown in the movie than her work on these also while i understand the point of showing so much scenery there is simply far too much of it the movie is incredibly boring and it's not worth buying renting watching on television or viewing in any way i lost interest so quickly that i'm not sure why i sat through the entire film in the first place,negative
a previous summary says if you like aliens and predator you will enjoy this film i could not disagree more this film pays no respect to its and has reduced two of the best loved sci fi to little more than a teen horror slasher movie it has none of the tension or foreboding present in previous alien or predator movies and there is no discernible lead character i really did not care about any of the characters and i positively to see the stereotypical cast die as soon as possible in the vain hope something better would replace them it really takes super human incompetence to have two of the most creatures ever invented positively fail to make a gripping thrilling movie only watch this if you want to see how not to do it,negative
i had high hopes when i went into the theatre having seen the trailer i was as hyped as the next person to see great talent participate in the making of a story with a beautiful premise br br however it's disappointing to see this talent laid waste by the poor composition of songs the words are and cheesy probably because it was composed with a more western theme i wouldn't find it difficult to imagine the same with french or english lyrics in they just sound strange br br the musical items were also cut together badly far too quickly to be enjoyable and the shots of the actors looking lasted far too long br br the special effects are the next disappointment suffice it to say it is highly obvious where the special effects start and stop br br it's not and it's not in the mood either of the occasional and very similar slow theme altogether and hour too long to tell a simple story,negative
i watched this movie on tv last night hoping for a realistic account of what could happen if there were an of some highly disease i was disappointed and i think the movie was garbage it did not seem real to me some of the acting was awful in particular that of the doctor she was about the worst i've seen the whole thing played like a case even the obligatory disaster movie human relations bits didn't seem sincere i have seen some disaster movies in particular those weather ones which are actually so bad they are amusing this one is almost as bad but it is not even amusing it is tedious and boring don't bother with this one,negative
one of the movies i just didn't want to see i got it in the sneak preview but damn the acting was very bad at the end of the movie i still am surprised i watched the whole movie i wondered why i watched the movie br br also here in the the writer of this movie it's filmed from a book of thought it was very bad and was disappointed that his movie came out like this next time he wants a role in choosing people for the cast,negative
personally i don't like a lot of b w movies but there's something magical about this movie br br the movie starts with elizabeth lane barbara stanwyck liz writes a magazine about how she's the of of course she's lying this becomes a problem when her mr asks her to play host to a navy sailor over christmas in addition mr who's going to be alone for christmas invites himself up to the farm for the christmas party from there things just go crazy br br since the movie is set on a new england farm the movie has a warm holiday feeling plus the characters are hilarious mr is always shouting orders and friend felix is always yelling ' when things go wrong finally the movie ends the way a christmas movie should end a jolly fat man laughs and shouts what a christmas br br in short no matter what age you are you will love this movie,positive

i must have seen this movie about four or five times already and it gets better with each viewing suffice it to say this is the best film i've ever seen and i think i've seen a lot br br but i've always wondered why this film got so in some reviews or ratings for example take the imdb top 250 why does it rank only at as of today surely the not in the film itself because that is nothing but flawless but in its reception the film caused controversy in its portrayal of compassion for a convicted murderer and its anti death penalty attitude and so obviously the more conservative minded user probably didn't like the film as you can see from some of the other comments so dead man walking gets a that's nothing but ridiculous in relation to its quality those people didn't understand what the film wanted to say and maybe they didn't want to understand being pro death penalty so now i get it it's all political you're pro death penalty you don't like and therefore don't want to hear what the film has to say br br i'm truly sorry there are still so many people out there who simply tune out when a new perspective questions their beliefs br br mr robbins your movie's issue split people's opinions some their point of view some simply didn't listen but you made a very important point your movie will probably never show up on any top 100 movies of all time list but it'll be remembered long after films like braveheart or babe or apollo 13 all of which were preferred over your film at the oscars 1996 are forgotten mr robbins and thank you for this important piece of filmmaking,positive
alexander marked director return to film making after a period of and what he produced is a bald faced propaganda film over germany br br there's very little plot russians to battle germans russia wins the film is really an extended montage of mostly battle scenes mixed in with some moments of german brutality like a rather shocking scene that shows german soldiers throwing russian children onto a raging fire this was first sound film and it's clear that he had no idea what to do with the medium indeed this film really looks more like a silent film with some sound added there are some dialogue scenes but they sit rather on the screen and the pacing is all off as if the actors weren't actually on the set together at the same time when they were filming them mostly uses sound as an excuse to a rousing score over the proceedings and indeed that's one of the film's biggest br br say what you will about ability or lack of to direct actors or tell his film in a more narrative format he certainly knows how to edit images and music together for maximum effect and alexander over all shines through its br br grade a,positive
truly unique and stunning film of jules for the flag by the czech master director although the story is in a rather understated late victorian style the visuals are a uses animation graphics painted sets model animation combined with live action to create the atmosphere of that the reader associates in his mind the style resembles the steel of and and that illustrated these stories with a healthy dose of georges added photographed in beautiful black and white the animation is of the highest order and not of a saturday morning variety there are underwater sequences where the swimming about are so accurately drawn they can be used in a field guide there are images of ships flying craft and that are drawn in such accurate detail that one must have a freeze frame on his vcr or dvd to pause the scene and study the remarkable detail that went into this production the late victorian atmosphere is designed to look like this world that never was and delight us in the magic of science that made the great father of the genre if this is not enough there also is the film score that probably is one of the best ever created for a fantasy or sci fi film truly a forgotten classic this one is worth hunting down and buying always one of my favorite films of all times it is sure to be one of yours too and remember this was done decades before cgi or computer animation kudos to the great artists who obviously put their heart into it it shows jules himself would be proud of this movie a film that deserves to be better known but those who have seen it love it and treasure it an outstanding achievement this remarkable film just gets better every time you watch it a true cinematic work of art from a director,positive
based on the autobiography a many thing love is a many thing 1955 tells the story of han focusing on the romance that han a widowed doctor in 1949 hong kong had with a married american named mark elliott i don't want to feel anything again ever han tells mark soon after they meet but the two soon develop the mutual for each other and who can blame them mark is played by william at the near peak of his hunky dude period the following year's would be the peak in this the first of three films over the next seven years that would find in china 1960's the world of wong and satan never sleeps being the others and dr han is here played by jennifer jones who although not a unlike nancy and pretty france of those other exotic films does a credible job of passing as one whether dressed in european or bathing suit jones looks ridiculously gorgeous here no wonder east meets west in this film so dramatically with its two appealing lead stars breathtaking hong kong scenery beautiful and color oscar winning costumes and that classic oscar winning title song that through the film like a lovely love is a many thing turns out to be quite the winning and romantic han herself supposedly did not care for the picture so i can only imagine that great liberties were taken with her source material still i enjoyed it and if the film's ending causes a tear to come to the eye just remember words of wisdom life's greatest tragedy is not to be loved,positive
i think it was way back in 1987 that we had our and my friend and i saw in the papers that one of the theatres was playing we decided to go just for the heck of it without hoping anything great but we were in for a pleasant surprise the movie was made in 1965 but even by today's standards the plot was absolutely modern and way ahead of its times the music was wonderful and as a city looked and acted his best i still remember that feeling when we came out of the theatre after the movie was over br br whoever thought of this story of one man falling for three very different girls at the same time no he is not three timing or them but he genuinely likes all three of them for different reasons one is one is an actress and the third is a girl who can also help in his career as a poet the question is which one is the for him what makes the matter worse is that all three of them like him too when things come to an a takes him in and in his state he dreams of his future with each one of them and reaches the right decision br br this dream of his which is the only colored part in an otherwise black n white movie is the of the film but surprisingly is edited out from most of the versions available today if you want to watch this movie make sure that this part is intact in case you watch this movie without this part and get confused don't worry because you just watched an movie,positive
this little picture succeeds where many a big picture fails because it was a little picture john ford was not by the studio big he was happier with this film than any other because he was able to do it his way he was also able to use his of gifted character actors that had played such an important role in his past some of them such as ben johnson had been discovered by ford and given opportunity to show their talents johnson was by ford because he was an authentic cowboy from who usually did his own stunt work years later he would win the academy award for his brilliant performance in the last picture show ward bond even ben johnson in this movie he is not the master that role is played by johnson but because of this movie he was later given the role of master in the classic television series train ironically one of the bad guys in master james would star in the hit television series on a rival network to train ward bond plays the leader of the heading west who often to his days by only to be called down by fellow mormon adam russell simpson when any situation elder ward bond yells blow your horn sister the mormon sister played to perfection by jane then blows so hard and loud that even the devil must have been by the sound and simpson were famous for playing ma and in ford's classic version of the john novel the of wrath br br another of the great character actors in ford's company was hank who plays one of uncle mean but not too bright outlaw sons would become famous a few years later for playing in ford's the lived to be he was still making movies when he died br br the master travis blue ben johnson and his partner sandy harry carey jr are horse who never take their job seriously having a lot of fun along the way especially with the local sheriff they get mixed up with a mormon train heading west ford's beloved valley is the setting for most of the film the main reason for the is a mormon beauty kathleen who catches eye along the way the train picks up a show which includes a doctor alan and two angels and ruth also joining up along the way is the family wanted for murder and armed robbery ford shows how a journey west by was in those days br br the songs in the film were written by stan jones of the legendary sons of the jones' writing was almost as good as that of bob nolan who had previously done much of the writing for the group jones' most famous song not in this film is the much recorded ghost riders in the sky the sons of the do the background singing in master this adds to the overall impact of rolling west br br it should also be noted that the acclaimed native american jim from plays the role of a leader this was his last film appearance he died not long after master was released,positive
my husband and i both loved this film at first my husband was skeptical and asked how many points he got for sitting through this one but after a few key scenes he was totally sucked in and by the end he was convinced it was one of the best movies going kathleen bates has never been so wonderfully and the rest of the cast is just simply fantastic thank you for this beautiful film,positive
great film about an american g i who the army to marry a german girl who saved his life in the last days of the war she accepts but does she do it because she really likes him or because he can support her with easier access to food and such meanwhile her brother and an old friend form an anti american terrorist group called the werewolves their purpose to drive away the you might remember the same group playing a major part in lars von film europa james best best known for his role as p in the 1980s television show the dukes of hazzard is shockingly excellent as the american he should have become a big movie star – at this age he reminds me very much of warren beatty the other main actors are good as well direction is quite good using a lot of long takes again although they are not nearly as complex as they were in park row the long takes more often than not consist of long scenes with a lot of dialogue the only problems lie in the script as seems to be the case with all of the fuller films that i've seen it's not too badly flawed but it ought to have been expanded out major characters and parts of the script the wife goes through a major change but completely off screen therefore the emotional center rests on shoulders fuller also should have killed off the sick mother early in the film i hope that doesn't sound too harsh she just doesn't really do anything throughout the film except lie in bed she has so few lines but fuller keeps bringing her up as the film goes on i would have had her death david and relationship myself and the film ends too abruptly and it lacks payoff these aren't really the biggest flaws in the world the way i described them makes them sound bigger than they are 9 10,positive
ok by the time you read this i might have stopped crying this movie was so horrible as to be quite the creatures are kinda cute but the only really good thing about the movie was the growing among the prisoners and their guard after getting on this island even seeing barbara bach with her hair all was no payoff for buying this sterling bit of she goes about with a i've never used my voice before that just don't wash when one is screaming bloody murder hey the leading man was cute too but i'm still not this is a cry into your beer ripoff of the good island of dr poor richard johnson who was surely born for better things is just bad as the bad guy i mean how bad can a bad guy be ask richard johnson joseph tries hard not to look embarrassed as he through his cameo appearance in the name of all that's holy don't rent this bomb,negative
this is the forty minute film that introduces us to the character of the butcher who will later be examined more thoroughly in the feature in this film it follows the early period of his life from 1965 1979 but focusing on the late seventies the first images are of a slaughter of a horse then the birth of a baby the daughter who we quickly see growing up each year the butcher played by in both films is a man bitter with the world he hates many things his anger comes to a head when a man his daughter the butcher then the wrong man and finds himself in prison br br this film follows the life to just after his release from prison then takes over from there i watched the films the wrong way about first try and watch this little film first if you can,positive

john what have you done br br silver city had moments in which i could see the hope of a good story well drawn characters thought provoking dialog and then those moments would quickly be covered over by layers of poor writing clumsy direction and abysmal acting i truly love almost all of john work but silver city is ghastly br br i got the feeling that may have been working on the of a good story involving the illegal labor and industrial corruption plot lines but then he got rushed and stuck the secondary plot line the bush administration onto it the two stories don't really connect with each other and the weaker elements of the political theme dominate the first 3 4 of the movie causing me to lose patience with the whole affair br br the other major flaw is danny acting his dialog in every scene is delivered with a grin regardless of its to the mood i hated this guy by the end of the film having been reminded of every bad actor in every high school play i've ever seen not having seen huston in anything else i don't know whether to blame him or to blame direction of him more regardless he's the unfortunate point of a very unfortunate movie br br right down to the last subtle final scene i was disappointed by silver city at his best or heck even at mediocre can be so very much better than this film see any of his other works instead this isn't even worth a rental,negative
i recently stumbled across a tv showing of passion having missed the opening scenes ms in to be praised for having the vision and courage to bring such a strange de tale to the screen i am grateful to the entire cast and crew for their parts in producing such a thoroughly fine motion picture it must have been shooting so many scenes in the desert and i cannot comprehend how her such a fine performance from the this calls to mind another suspenseful adventure naked prey why isn't this film more well known hope i can find it on video,positive

this has got to be one of the better post astaire musicals made by columbia produced by arthur and directed by vet charles this picture really put gene kelly on the map and rita reputation as female dance partner she plays a bit of a role here since she performs contemporary 1940s numbers with gene and co star phil but also puts her in the role of her grandmother a nightclub performer in the late 19th br br the music should also be out because this was i believe the last project that the legendary most famous today for old man river and smoke gets in your eyes worked on and his was the equally legendary ira gershwin they a score that is full of charm and characterization the music for the historical sequences is especially noteworthy because it's so perfectly in the early 20th century that was original period it's a bit like picking up a record from one of your favorite bands from the 1970s and hearing them do a song in the original style of that time br br the story is pretty which is fine with me because this film is as close an as you will ever be likely to see of the 1930s 40s golden age of broadway musical comedy style on film even the 1940s war propaganda aspects of the film's music give it extra charm as the talented trio sing make way for tomorrow and even poke fun at america's enemies and use period such as referring to br br probably the most memorable performance in the film is kelly's dance to the alter ego dance which found him arguing with and then dancing with himself as a image of the battle of the conscience this much of his later work and also stands an effective and memorable scene in and of itself br br fans will want to seek this out for various reasons kelly fans will see this as a rare chance to see him outside of the confines of mgm with a different set of co stars and music superior to his usual mgm material hayworth fans will want to see rita in glorious color at the peak of her fame and ability and fans of classic broadway musicals will definitely want to hear final score and marvel at the quality of lyrics and the of their styles this is a definite gem in the crown of musical program,positive
to start i'm not a person to rate movies that i haven't seen nor am i a person that rates movies when they don't deserve it this movie was really that bad the basic plot was extremely formulaic and while it wasn't great the plot deserved about a 5 the part that really bothered me was anything swimming in the film i a short list of things wrong with the swimming aspects of this film br br 1 no character development 2 no sense of time 3 completely inaccurate swimming scenes which include a a team of six going to something called both and with no mention of how they qualify b this same team going to whatever the hell this meet was without swimming a real meet at any point in the film c the rival program goes from being a high school to a club team back to a high school and then a club team again d in the scene where is for a job the show high school state wins and at yet the team consists of anywhere from 5 to 12 depending on which of the 3 meets are happening e a team of 5 guys and a girl win whatever f said girl wins a men's 100 event g in this race said girl beats two guys from a team that the previous year was in the top 3 in the nation h the changes a race from the 200 breast to the 100 breast back to the 200 again in the span on about 45 seconds i in the final the which is being in a 50 long course pool one is seen doing two flip turns j in this same the teams anchor freaks out and steps off the an inspirational talk which lasts for about two and a half minutes or about 3 times as long as the leg would take at a national caliber meet k the movie begins in the month of july or august assuming that was before the school year started and the pool was to be closed in 3 months so assuming these things both hold true the went from not being able to swim to winning whatever in less than two as the pool had to be and the kids didn't start practicing for a while l i'm sure there are a couple hundred more i'm just trying to block them out of my memory 4 throughout the film there is not a single mention of a time 5 if you're going to have a movie about swimming it would be a good idea to hire extras that know how to swim well 6 the scene where the kid is kicked underwater is physically impossible br br that being said all the swimming scenes were way too slow had horrible technique and the idea of being able to qualify for a national meet within three months of learning to swim is just insulting to everywhere br br ok if you still don't believe me let me say that this movie is one of the 5 worst films i have ever seen and this is coming from the guy that owns soul plane the hands of fate and any number of other total piece of crap that have been put on film please don't go,negative
in the 1980's and in some cases flat out was pretty high do we get to win this time a line famous from rambo first blood part ii could almost sum up how many people felt at that time a longing for the style of films they grew up with flat out balls to the wall we're good your bad now let's blow something up and go home while rambo rocky and for the most part top gun seemed more towards an older crowd iron eagle went straight for the kids canadian writer and director sidney j brings out everything that you love and hate about that time period the kick in the pants rock out 80's never say die road of the gypsy etc to the over the top and sometimes almost unbelievable action adventure iron eagle succeeded for one reason it was f u n fun it's the type of movie you can turn on and sit back and enjoy every ridiculous totally 80's moment you don't have to think about if it could really happen or if the acting is truly believable it's just fun and that's all you can really ask for in this type of movie,positive
oh i want to time travel back to studios and someone in their 2 room front office for this sloppy musical it is one above flat for 60 of its minutes and then actually shows for the one thin minute spread in second across the hour that there is real life talent being badly photographed i just don't see the point of going to some trouble to actually make this film that could easily be energetic and actually funny and allow to be the main thing on view the weird storyline shows vaudeville grace hayes her way into a college where her rat bag son is rich college clown she's gonna fix his playboy ways no matter what her real life son weird looking peter plays her screen son his real life wife plays her secretary talk about i suspect this talent package was almost the for this back lot musical produced by resident sam as with other musicals it just looks more like a reason to film recent new furniture and light in order to show off to other studios that pictures are in their b grade ways have a ghastly look at swing parade of 1946 for genuine evidence of this they just constructed this gigantic nightclub set then found an excuse to film actors and musicians running all over it story none anyway boom is more than boom where was storm and when really needed them probably standing at the boom gate of pictures wondering if it looked safe to enter there junior springs to life to tap his teen legs around two dance numbers especially in the finale set in the new and expanded club set the usual are loosely hanging on the back wall and the stage set of matched even has one dark main that is back and forth as each amateur sequence past the previous one the chorus girls and their very plain looking partners in this finale just look like office staff borrowed from and for the morning of filming they have absolutely no dance talent and are so ordinary on screen all the girls look like they are all called there is even a costume where they wear hot pants on one leg only it is all so awful and crummy and actually annoying when one more up by all concerned would result in being actually fun the one strangely interesting thing is the dialog delivery between grace and her son daughter in law it is so casually delivered that it actually works in spite of the script and logic she has a very life like presence which is the only thing that allows the ridiculous story to be slightly compelling the kid is the real star he can actually do something in spite of looking like a tap dancing teen you read that right,negative
i found it almost impossible to empathize with character in this film if she was supposed to be a i think the screenwriter and director neglected to research before making this film because character was more a depiction of a self centered worthless sh than a victim and survivor of depression br br the forced attempt at narration was as ludicrous as the interactions between her and the people around her br br sorry but i couldn't buy it this is straight to video schlock i'm glad i didn't pay to see this,negative
this might quite possibly be the worst movie i have ever seen i knew it was a b movie before watching it it was actually the reason for watching it but i'd never thought it could be this bad the title promises dracula in space and does deliver however the story makes no real use of the fact that casper van character is a of van and watch out for the ending of the movie it comes at you fast i've never seen an ending scream out and now we're over budget in a fashion their resolution of the movie was rather comic though the story had so obviously painted itself into a corner if you feel you have to see it watch it with a friend who shares your love of b movies if i hadn't i wouldn't have made it to the end,negative
i had been waiting eagerly to see this movie but when i finally got the chance i was very disappointed i had to stop half way or was it quarter way because of the poor script and directing not to mention the poor cast josh is the only one who can act and he's much more suitable to be the hero of the story br br well basically the story is just about a loose girl from the country who cheated on her long time decent boyfriend only to have meaningless sex with a spoiled rich brat this movie failed to draw my sympathy not even when the writer intended to i wonder where the moral values go br br the actors are so stiff that when i resume the movie few weeks after it was interrupted due to its boring nature they still failed to make me pay attention the spoiled couple can only disgust me what a movie br br i think all the people involved in this production need to sit down and review it together so that they won't make the same mistakes next time round and next time they might consider josh as the protagonist,negative
while credited as a tom and jerry cartoon this is not the cat and mouse team but an earlier and jeff rip off featuring them going to africa and themselves in the stereotypical burnt makeup to try to blend in while the humor is mostly lame there is a brief musical sequence involving black that was entertaining i have to ask however how could tom and jerry still have their makeup stay on even after being dumped in the water a couple of times one of many entries produced by the van corporation for distribution by rko radio pictures before rko made a deal with disney only worth seeing if you're an animation buff or is interested in how certain were stereotyped as entertainment way back when,negative
as i'm listening to my parents watch this after i gave up 10 minutes into the film they have absolutely no idea what is going on when charles dickens into the camera i half expected him to turn into a demon yes he looked like one unfortunately that didn't happen br br this movie had various reasons i did not finish it one it was slow i mean seriously it was you can only understand 10 of what is said and the characters were poorly introduced br br if you have an english accent and you like a of talking no action terrible acting cheesy laughs and the same music sound effects played over and over and over then this is the movie for you br br 1 10 completely horrible br br avoid at all costs,negative
so here's a bit of background on how i came to see this movie as you probably know this is the original french film that was then remade surprise by hollywood as wicker park well i avoided that movie like the plague when it was first released simply because a i knew it had absolutely nothing to do with wicker park and living in chicago i didn't see why they called it that it was filmed in canada for a start b i have a very hard time bothering with pointless remakes done purely because hollywood thinks we're too bone to read a few subtitles i am the remake of affairs by the way and c i can't stand josh said there br br however i came across on tv the other day probably about half an hour in and i have to say initially it made no sense at all until about half an hour from the end when it started coming together by the end i was really surprised to find myself really into it and then the ending just seemed so good a perfect combination of story passion and ending with possibly one of the greatest musical choices i've ever seen heard br br since then i've heard a lot about the vs wicker park argument and looking at i still say it has all to do with chicago but there seemed something about it that i liked so when it was on again i watched it again unfortunately still missing the first i've still yet to see it and i still thought it was pretty good heck even josh seemed good but i was curious about and wanted to see what all the fuss was about so i waited and waited to catch somewhere somehow netflix let me down so i ended up getting a copy from some website in ireland and i've just watched it br br it's really kind of weird but a good weird a classic french film great acting is an absolute gem sorry but she acts monica off the screen in every scene vincent was a weird choice for the lead but by the end he works and i've seen jean in a lot of movies and i just love him the scene where alice him in the restaurant and he just looks like someone's told him his been run over was excruciating but i can honestly say having seen and pretty much expecting that to have been a scene for scene copy as about 75 of the rest of the movie had been maybe in a different order but come on the scene with the coffee in the glasses word for word you can imagine my surprise when i watched the ending of i can literally say i was blown away hmm a bit like poor old was through the window really so be prepared if you've seen wicker park and you fancy taking a look at the original like i did do not make the mistake of expecting an identical movie because you'll either be disappointed or at a piece of french movie history a prime example of how you can watch a movie think you're going to watch a happy ending and get from the total spin in the opposite direction right at the end definitely catch this movie oh and while you're at maybe not too near the same time but down the road take a look at wicker park it'll surprise you too,positive
this world war ii film set in tries so hard to work on so many levels it is a shame it fails on all of them br br nick nolte is an escaping american who witnesses the of his by the japanese he wanders deep into the of lost cue who finds adopted tribe nolte now looking like robert plant has become his new king he defeated a warrior in a bloody battle and had a telling on his chest a dragon now before you go out and get a painful and a one way ticket to things are not going well in wants the help in fighting the japanese who are the island he teaches the natives how to use machine guns and a whole lot o shooting begins as the tribe becomes more successful they run up against a new of japanese who are not like the others this squad the they in order to keep their strength up talk about your and they move through the even than the tribe since we know the outcome of the war we know eventually the tribe but with heavy here come the spoilers is injured and returned to civilization he gives the location of the kingdom and nolte is captured then goes through the trouble of releasing nolte and the end credits roll br br direction is certainly adequate but the screenplay here is rather vague in its motivations it presents story ideas then them in order to get to the next story idea nolte is awful as the soldier turned king desperately trying to channel the spirit of marlon colonel he talks about freedom and the beauty of the jungle and the of his people and you will not believe for one second the words he he is often unintentionally funny especially his initial bug out in the jungle and he spends the rest of the film sounding like a hippie spends the movie looking at nolte like he was welch the vague homosexual between the two goes beyond friendship not quite to sex and into an relationship that must have had the natives talking br br often stands around and has an internal conflict at the but in attention his fellow straight laced british go native faster than the bounty landing party in but all i saw concerning is that it is very and has lots of green br br the climactic betrayal where gives away location is completely devoid of any reason there is not one thought given as to why does this except to keep the film going i was angry when by chance and nolte end up on the same ship going to the the ship happens to run and runs to the hold to free the nolte no goodbye kiss but says farewell to the king explaining the title br br if you were fighting a war and an enemy was eating your allies would that not freak you out this elite japanese squad is not shown enough although their eating are so horrific i would become a right away the same type of ghostly enemy was handled much better in the 13th warrior br br other types of interesting ideas are dropped what about the fact that then modern technology brings about the deaths of so many people why did king nolte let the brits use his subjects without too much why can't hollywood find a decent actor to play general douglas macarthur br br in the end farewell to the king is a letdown not by a strong lead and trying to be too many things without thinking and exploring its i cannot recommend this one br br this film is rated for strong physical violence strong gun violence some gore some profanity some sexual references and adult situations,negative
it would be to judge that that either narrative or documentary to be more authentic than the other both have an underlying form of fiction and are never a true reflection of reality as producers seek to and stories in their perspectives as both usually leaves some issues due to of and screen time it viewers the opportunity to open up and to further investigate and the real truth adding to the viewer's inability to sources comparisons with written history and the behind arguments history may be open to through narrative and documentary br br to most people documentary may be seen more truthful as it usually involves actual and real life however these visuals are selected and edited to be arranged in a way that allows producers to present their version of realism to the viewers in the real buddy holly story paul seeks to establish the buddy holly as remembered by family and friends and how buddy had influence the rest of the music world the may have been distorted as memories may not be accurate and emotions have evolved to make a legend out of buddy the documentary did make to the film version and cover other events such as there were 3 members of and that music was actually heard outside of usa at that time he had to on a world tour however it did not go into deep discussion about what happened to wife after his death criticism and or negative discussions may have been left out of the documentary as the producers seek to present a buddy that the world should have remembered eventually we don't manage to the whole truth as we only ourselves to the past that the documentary tells us br br personally i prefer a narrative film because it provides rich visual which helps us to with the collective memory of that era it gives the audiences a more structure of the story and this leads to better memory for the audiences when they the story there is also an element of which allows film makers to express their thoughts and views on certain issues in the buddy holly story racial issues were and viewers can certainly relate to these issues with respect to current situations br br movie goers consistently seek to certain emotions when watching a film and using these emotions audiences can choose to make personal connections with the applied meanings that a film maker wants to deliver in most stories people are more likely to remember the struggles the and the way the story ends through the buddy holly story we do remember the struggles buddy and the had how maria had been a source of and that buddy holly was a great performer until the day he dies,positive
it was riveting i just could not look away as the movie rolled on i started to feel that it was powerful and confronting but i had no idea how much more intense it would get br br the movie gives an insight into what unfortunately is everyday life for a lot of school kids some of us live outside that environment and would walk by and not know what is happening br br parents need to see this film in particular just to see a glimpse of what their kids go through often parent dismiss their kids problems as trivial but unfortunately to a high they are massive and unfortunately the problems can into a tragedy br br a must see for all,positive
the people who came up with this are sick and twisted freaks how the hell can you exploit people like this people into thinking that this is real which i probably don't doubt that it is i saw this thing for the very first time today series 7 and it made me sick to my stomach i almost threw up i just couldn't stop crying my eyes out for these poor people and if that woman really did have that baby you should all be ashamed of yourselves i have a 4 month old daughter and it is just absolutely appalling that would put a real pregnant woman in so much danger you people are bloody animals and should be locked up for life allowing something like this to put on t v if this so called show is for real then why isn't anyone being put in prison for allowing people to die and not doing a god damn thing about it you all deserve to be hunted down,negative
end of days is one of the worst big budget action movies i've ever seen direction meandering script loaded with lame dialogues and plot holes rapid fire mtv style editing and poor acting all the way br br that's not to say end of days isn't watchable the movie kept me interested because i found ah latest action flick laughably stupid for being so inept and silly when it comes to logic without the sense of logic the movie dies which is why end of days deserved a huge drop of box office reception in its second week after the opening in the u s br br i won't go into the details explaining why end of days the law of movie logic but here are several problems with this movie br br spoiler br br after the devil walks out the restaurant explodes without any trace as to how he did it no finger no energy gas to the fire nothing how could this happen br br arnold and his annoying sidekick kevin somehow magically comes up with the name christine york after the phrase christ in new york on a body runs the on the computer and christine york the only person with the exact name in all of new york city beyond my suspension of disbelief br br how did the characters who have come in contact with character turn against him later in the movie i laughed out loud when i recognized the good stepmother turned evil stepmother is the same actress who played a in william shakespeare's romeo juliet her ironic transition from that film to this was absolutely hilarious if you can imagine br br all the huge explosions and what did you expect in the arnold vehicle br br the devil took a man's body of flesh and blood yet he's invisible to bullets and explosions by healing through that body this is impossible br br as the devil the illusion in the apartment character runs into the solid christmas tree that supposedly is an illusion and falls on it physically br br the devil is capable of the person's brains out and a head degree yet he could not kill character as he always to br br how the devil's object of parents died and why evil new run after arnold and the object of desire were never explained at all br br in the sequence that's a rip off of speed arnold and the devil's object of desire manage to escape the subway train wreck by the short distance inside this is beyond my since the force would be enough to throw arnold and the object of desire around violently and die from fatal wounds seconds after impact br br arnold suffers the brutal beating from the mob by the devil and put him on the cross to hang against the wall yet the devil forgot to take the time and opportunity to kill him for sake br br at the beginning of the movie after the devil took over a man's body all of a sudden arnold is his bodyguard is this a coincidence or just an example of bad editing br br of cringe inducing dialogues in the particularly laughable scenes like you are a compared to me are the perfect fodder for mst3k just as did with the classic line you're the br br the whole theory about 1999 is downright ludicrous so are the pseudo religious about the christian involving the end of the world at precisely midnight and the fanatic killers who know the location of the devil's object of desire br br end spoilers br br it is highly ironic that end of days uses the scattered the while rambling about christian theories the level of violence in the film is excessive and gruesome and is therefore unnecessary to serve the plot the director's of excess is a factor here he surely doesn't know how to make a coherent action movie from the screenwriter of air force one who was only to write the script just for a big sum of money br br hence end of days is a worthless film with no redeeming value except for worst since in new york br br br br br br br br br br,negative
i love just about everything the late al directed in his long and varied career but the possession of nurse stands head and shoulders above fun yet admittedly grade z like horror of the blood monsters and dracula vs frankenstein this film is actually scary am i saying that you're going to jump out of your seat when you watch nurse no of course not but this of elements from the exorcist ruby and carrie is one of those nice eerie little horror movies common to the seventies you can't put your finger on what's so spooky about it but the film with atmosphere and what an ending don't worry i won't spoil it for you and producer sam really nailed it with this one and it doesn't matter whether nurse was a success or a happy accident jill is likable but not outstanding as the hapless nurse who becomes possessed by the spirit of a recently deceased cult leader bill roy who shines in his brief role geoffrey land is okay as her doctor boyfriend there are some elements here profit was the bottom line with these cheap drive in flicks after all but they actually contribute to the plot rather than just being window dressing nurse was a poverty row production and it shows at times sets special effects etc still the film has heart mostly decent acting and direction and some genuine chills sam also saw fit to use harry theme music for the late early '60s television series one step beyond in this film which certainly adds to the creepy atmosphere the dvd contains two significantly different cuts of the movie the early version features a lot of t a that wound up on the cutting room floor to make way for more horrific stuff as well as the theatrical trailer the tv spot and a great commentary by does anybody know whatever happened to bill roy by the way next to john carradine he's the best actor i've ever seen in an al film and he plays the cult leader like he means it,positive
i have watched this movie quite i am not sure whether it was attempting to be a horror gore fest in a rob zombie type affair or an exploration of real events br br in either case it missed its mark it's not particularly historically accurate with characters being chopped and changed for the sake of the story br br the performances were neither compelling nor bad br br for me i would have preferred a more psychological approach and this film could easily have gone down this route without spoiling the overall effect,negative
carlos just plain isn't funny his show is painful to watch because of that his sketches parodies are all very horrible and this really just feels like a filler for the show which while i'm not a big fan of that it is much funnier than this trash carlos gives the stupid speeches and he all too often depends on finishing his monologues with a retarded voice and going der der der it's just not funny he often when talking to others makes they are horrible and painful when people don't laugh he blames them why would anyone laugh he's not funny he has an immature sense of humor in everything he does on this show it's amazing that anyone but 3 year olds watch this one of my least favorite things he does is water down every topic and make it seem like a joke i hope that this racist idiot gets taken off the air as soon as possible because he's down a station that doesn't need to be down anymore,negative
i first saw this film when i was in the grade and i remember that it had a profound affect on me then i saw in again about a year ago i am now and it still moved me in similar ways this is a great movie that the struggle of principle vs character is the teacher that won't give in to any racist of the mr that story also the struggle of how older people often resist change and more specifically cultural change often at the expense of children when these battles finally come to a pat loses and or does it the children that he has to leave are better off for knowing him more exposed to the real world and to classical music the other teacher at the school gained respect for him and he learned much about himself a great film with a heart breaking ending i that anyone who enjoyed the film to read the book the water is wide by pat it will stay with you,positive

i have seen this movie more than 50 times in my life and each time i watch it the movie is just as entertaining as it was the first time george played by treat williams leads a small group of 1960's 1970's era anti war hippies living at large in new york city this small group happens upon a young man claude played by john savage who has been into the us army for service in vietnam despite their best efforts to him claude does eventually report for basic training in the army still over his having left them the hippie group steal a car and travel across the usa to visit claude for a couple of hours in the words of george to an m p at the entry gate of the army base claude is at in the outcome is truly touching so i won't spoil it for those who have not yet seen this fantastic movie the musical score is equally fantastic don of the rock group chicago who plays the part of one of the hippies is a not a key character but the movie wouldn't have been the same without him beverly who plays sheila franklin an girl who is by the hippie group is sensational in her role a must see film,positive
i'm sure the film contains certain gaps in logic but i was so enthralled by it that i really didn't care the movie plays out like a fun lighthearted teen romp combined with a type action flick it's packed with action packed with excitement and has some humorous moments as well sean is fun to watch and i haven't seen louis jr since i saw in theaters he is a fine underrated actor and i love watching him on screen i just wonder what he's doing now unfortunately he might be starring in a lot of those direct to video flicks hopefully my is wrong anyway this is a fun edge of your seat thriller and i definitely suggest you check it out br br my score 7 out of 10,positive
h o t s is proof that at one time the movie industry said f off to the censors and made movies with whatever they wanted in today's world this movie would be too over the top and extreme for it to be anywhere than behind a curtain although had several copies on their 5 99 rack in case anyone wanted to get a copy the movie was brilliant in its own way in that it humor into a t a movie loaded with playboy unlike most skin flicks it did have a plot that however is not exactly why you would watch h o t s br br h o t s is a college movie that reminds me of the revenge of the movies in that it takes a group of average people and puts them against the elite rich that most people can't stand the only difference is that the in this movie have a much better shot at getting laid i notice that there are some people who would rate this movie low and to me that is ignorant obviously this is not intended to win oscars or break in film if you are looking for that then go watch what ever the critics pick for you you have to appreciate the fact that this movie actually had a funny plot decent acting for the most part given the genre and plenty of girls getting naked h o t s is one of those movies you watch to get your mind off of modern day problems and daily stress and instead laugh and have a good time if you are looking for a funny college based movie that has enough skin to turn a pink straight then you should really check out h o t s,positive
this movie changed the art of film making telling a complex story in a powerful new way the film mixes brutal realism with fantasy a modern war with strange scenes full of smoke the film uses music not as a score laid in later but as a practical part of the scene playing from etc coppola uses a classic piece of literature as inspiration taking scenes and characters and putting them into entirely different surroundings that is a and brave thing to do then he takes a superstar brando pays him a fortune and films him so that you can barely see his face the pure guts that such a move requires is astounding and it works beautifully this movie belongs in the top ten,positive
a pretty awful film i'm amazed the likes of derek vanessa redgrave agreed to be in it it's like an overlong episode from a poor tv detective series br br the biggest flaw has to be jones he simply can't act whoever had the bright idea of casting him as a leading man wants their head unless he put his own money into the project he should stick to playing thugs looking menacing not speaking br br also was central around in dickens times as there were three big behind his desk br br no wonder they gave this away free with a newspaper as no one would pay to see it,negative

when i saw this film the first time i was very impressed concerning the kind of atmosphere the director creates it is also very interesting to see how they imagine the near future in the year 1974 if you see the film you will see a lot of sets and customs which are called freaky and modern again today br br the topic of the film deals with the old question what is real and what is illusion if you see the matrix you will find a lot of similarities but the two films are not comparable at all because am is art and the matrix is entertainment if prefer the first one br br unfortunately i lost my video copy of it br br,positive

i have to say that there is one redeeming in regards to this film it firmly the bottom of the barrel now filmmakers know what to aim above when making a movie other than that i regret watching this what shameless abandon the making of this film was what a waste of 100 000 that's right folks one hundred thousand dollars this film reminds me of that adult video awards show in which of group of industrial prostitutes stand up a praise themselves believing that they are real actors actresses and filmmakers ironic then how i've watched blue movies with better acting directing and writing i also found it funny that the executive producer justin just had to be in the movie he plays deputy jake barker i'm sure his acting career has taken off ted the writer has a part he no doubt was in the clichéd glory he created it should be noted that carrie has a lead role in the movie you might remember her from gus van though i'm not too sure that she'll want to write this film on her resume and i'm not sure which is a more depressing point money was spent to make this film or people are going to watch it along with and captain and the world of one of the worst films if not the worst film of 2004,negative
i have read a lot of books in my short lifetime but this is by far the worst i just got done reading this worthless piece of trash and when i finished it i threw it across the room i hated it and let me state the reasons 1 the soldier dies why would the author make the soldier die why couldn't she have kept him alive like a good love story author would do i deeply applaud patty for trying to claw that fbi eyes out br br 2 ruth fired ruth the black fired and for no apparent reason too she tried to comfort patty and then dad fires her for no good reason ruth and anton and patty were the only bright spots in the book oh and the grandparents too 3 the yes the now you people might think why would the upset you well here's why mom asks the girl if she wants her hair done patty says no but the mom calls mrs reeves the horrible and tells her to give patty a why on god's green earth would she do that why would a mother ask her daughter if she wants a only to have her get a anyway the mom always pretends that patty has a say when she have a say at all she should be given the worst mother of the year award for the stuff she dose to patty thank god ruth cut her off 4 and i hate the in this book they use the word too much yes i know that in those days blacks were free but had basically no rights but come on why teach todays children that word it just teaches them how to people not only were blacks but the chinese too in the book people refer to mr lee a chinese man as the that is really despicable and last but not least jews and i hate the town for spitting on a little girl what was so wrong for her liking anton she is a 12 year old girl it was just a crush like a 12 year old can really love a 22 year old come on this isn't and is a good book not a piece of filth i'm surprised that this movie isn't considered dirty like is br br 5 patty going to a patty should not have gone to that are for thieves and murders not innocent 12 year olds the teacher or whatever she was called patty an spoiled brat spoiled brat my butt patty was not a spoiled brat because her father and mother never gave a rip about her patty should of got community service or something she did nothing wrong she just helped a friend br br 6 the parents played with their children patty their daughter is clearly the least while sharon the five year old brat is their favorite daughter the dad says that he wanted to take sharon to hollywood but clearly forgets his other daughter br br 7 the dad i hated him he was so mean patty might as well had hitler himself as her father her dad beats her for no apparent reason and the way he talks to her in the end will make you so mad you'll be caught thinking patty would get better treatment in a concentration camp br br well there you have it folks 7 reasons i hate this book instead of reading this book read the of anne frank or anything else because i warn you it is very depressing and it will leave you really mad the only reason it gets 4 stars is because of anton patty ruth and the grandparents,negative
written well acted intense and suspenseful this show lives in the real world not as as is 24 and i am a huge fan of 24 incidentally it has believable characters and in many ways is much smarter than most in this genre it tries to present both sides of islam so far i have watched the first 4 episodes and find the story to be more balanced the terrorists are more complex and not one dimensional and as a result of that balance the terrorists become more frightening than the typical villains being portrayed in film and on television last but not least the hero is truly heroic without being a cartoon i recommend this show for anyone who is a fan of 24 and the like,positive
i hate to admit it but i didn't find it to be one of hitchcock's best but nonetheless a riveting climatic thriller in a remake of 1934 movie of the same title dr ben james stewart – the man who knows too much and his wife jo doris day are in with their son hank christopher when there is a case of mistaken identity and caught up in the web of an assassination plot the go to extreme to prevent them from with their plot kidnapping their beloved hank br br i found it surprising that doris day who i usually associate with rock hudson comedies was cast in a hitchcock film as i was watching it i soon realized that this was more of a family film compared to hitchcock's other works example psycho and she had singing ability needed to pull off which she did beautifully she was well cast as herself and james stewart had chemistry which helped make the couple believable br br in comparison to the great director's other works i believe this isn't as good but it is still a exceedingly entertaining family thriller mystery there is also the added bonus of which turned out to be a smash hit for doris day well directed well acted a fine film,positive
i've always been a fan of jackass as well as la and and when you're a fan of something your expectations are high to whatever your heroes might star in and if there's one thing i've learned about expecting a lot from the people you simply love to watch and listen to it's never to expect to much 'cause in 99 out of a 100 times you'll get disappointed br br although when i heard there was a jackass 2 coming up i thought not even i can turn down my expectations for this movie and as a result of that i sat down today ready to laugh but also ready to say in the end well it was ok but i'm a little disappointed how wrong was i every single member of the jackass crew brings this movie way over the first one showing you the one crazy ass stunt after the other making the whole world see that there's nothing they wont do to try to harm themselves and that's what we love i cried my eyes out laughing from the first minute and till the very last second of the movie at some times even in laughter not able to control myself stunt after stunt prank after prank and hilarious comments on the flow it can simply not get any better than this amazing from start till end guaranteed to make you laugh your ass off i've got two things left to say watch it and please god let there be a jackass 3 these guys clearly has a lot to offer,positive
hard justice is an excellent action movie the whole movie is really nothing but shooting and fighting for the people who say they don't make shoot em ups like they use to well this one is really hard core david is really good and his character takes a in the movie he gets hit by the stick over a dozen times gets stabbed in the back and is in a coma for three days and then wakes up and fights again gets beat up and is ready for more action his character is incredibly charles was very good as well and he arguably steals the show wells was good professor had a short and an uncredited role in hard justice as for the action it is truly awesome with all of the gun fights and the huge stand off like scene in the beginning has cars getting blown up and flipping up in mid air there is so much that happens in the 95 minute run time for the action fans you will be blown away by all of the fire power and fighting that this film has to offer hard justice is a movie that isn't easy to locate and if you are at a video store and you see it for sale buy it up because this movie is big keeper an d plus the box is cool there is a ton of action that has to be seen to be believed look and see if you can find some good deals on ebay half com amazon z and market place sellers i strongly recommend that any action movie fan who loves shoot and fighting movies and has been disappointed by other movies that have the look like a true non stop action flick but fails to deliver it to get hard justice,positive
this film is a a series of of woven together by music it's very much a film because of the of spoken dialogue and what dialogue there is is not important to the structure of the narrative some might expect a national tale of customs dress and music or a plot line a few central characters don't look for that here br br this is because it paints a portrait of a family of peoples rather than telling a story of individuals the plot is the story through space india to and or time we cannot tell of a people there is no need of narration you get a sense of a people strongly linked in small where social interaction is very important and a great sense of sadness in parts at their by society at large br br so it's a to culture very beautifully shot with a wide spectrum of music and a in the tail which is the these people have faced and still face,positive
on the pure theatrical side last stand was great as the and soundtrack are very entertaining but there are better accounts of this battle found elsewhere that while not as long or as flashy are far more historically br br certain little details such as the of the word for the greek shield and the of various names and words really ate at me br br my guess would be that because last stand of the 300 was aired the eve of the theatrical release of 300 the history channel was only trying to ride the of the movie's hype br br if you're looking for a depiction that's historically accurate in all respects possible you'd have better luck elsewhere,negative
honestly i was a big fan on trailer when it got released even some months before i kept on telling my friend how this movie has a great story plot and perhaps a good one anyway this movie is somewhat below my expectations br br the plot has a great potential but how the story unfolds along with the acting directing and bad cgi this film is a disaster the ghost doesn't make any sense and including the killings its all just too creating a sense of in the audience's mind br br this film could be scary for some audiences but fear in a sense of shock due to the sound effect etc rather than enduring fear due to certain valid factors in the movie br br you should re consider watching this movie,negative
ok this will contain spoilers now i have never seen such a large pile of since the feed mix up at the elephant in the it has more plot holes than eaten and as for the plot line well sexual slavery is a dreadful and very real world wide problem and this pile of this plague as a plot device to and shame on everyone involved for that piece of questionable judgement but back to the film if you were going to kidnap people from an airport some of the most secure and camera happy places in the modern world by the way then why plant a on the inside of the van who does all until the plot needs a twist just wait until you are out of the airport pull the gun the passengers drive to the warehouse and kill the guys job done on the passengers side on at least three occasions the good guys have the bad guys and are armed waste them once in a movie it can just be acceptable not to put a bullet in the bad guys skull but come on three times and after he's killed most of you also the guy is willing to put down the gun to stop a cheek but kills a girl for a that could be up with 20 dollars worth of drugs i could go on and on about the amount of holes in this but i won't waste any more of my time suffice to say that i have rarely been so insulted by such a dreadful piece of drivel and as for the real problem of sexual slavery girls go to new in distant lands and are abused raped and often killed by the gang master who meets them off the boat plane and takes their and freedom this s t is an insult to anyone whose life has been affected by this do not waste your time,negative
spoiler warning br br we've all heard the boy who cried wolf legend but what if the wolf was a person in the modern world well it might be something like big fat liar year old jason frankie from malcolm in the middle is always lying to keep himself out of trouble one day he is to write an english but it winds up in the hands of sleazy film maker marty wolf paul who plans to turn story into a hollywood blockbuster no one believes jason when he for once tells the truth and he ends up in summer school however jason is determined to prove to his parents the truth and travels to l a with his friend amanda when wolf refuses to admit he ripped off his story jason plans to make life a living hell b f l is no masterpiece but it's a nice way to spend 90 minutes of you're time i wished they could've made it a bit longer though and there aren't that much pranks although they are clever enough i like the pool the best i might not have liked this as much as i do if it weren't for paul he is simply hilarious in this if you have 90 minutes to kill try this out you might just enjoy it,positive
shopping sunny school for rich teenagers and perfectly happy endings welcome to the life of brooks and her friends brooks is portrayed by jamie spears the self actress who got her claim to fame by being the younger sister of the international pop star britney spears with her lovely blond wig in the first season and an attempt at hiding her monotonous country accent it's confirmed that has indeed gone to the dogs with when the actress who portrayed dana in the first season left the show all hope as she was the only decent actress the female casting is a complete disgrace but the male casting has potential for a teenage media if they continue to pursue jamie spears as the picture of perfection very many people will have to lower their standards with hope they will soon find that you can't make a career out of nothing jamie spears is useless for acting singing and anything else she attempts for that spiral she calls a career there is no wondering why she is a self actress critics would most definitely her as something other than that,negative
i hope the writer director editor and composer and let's not forget producer read this because their work was truly incredible on this movie let me start by saying that i am in no way with this movie i am only a regular guy who has been a fan of this movie for about 12 years and have seen it about 8 times br br every second of this movie is touching every scene is classic the acting is real the movie is honest you can relate to these characters as people not actors br br this tale follows three distinct killers at different stages in their lives the story is carefully thought out and every sub plot is and woven together culminating in a message that leaves us the values of right and wrong that each of us carries inside br br glover daniel dennis hopper and joshua john miller as a 12 year old boy give absolutely amazing real performances i've seen this movie about 8 or more times and i still get so absorbed in their performances that i forget i am watching a movie it's that good great job everyone who worked on this great job br br the music is also wonderfully matched and haunting with the chosen cast the carefully timed editing and pacing the mood and tone and even the subject matter the director made some of the best decisions for a movie i've ever seen br br this movie is real it's honest it's a true movie experience which i will never forget you may not be into the subject matter but it is something you cannot ignore ultimately it's about people being people and everyone can relate to that i recommend this movie to fans of drama suspense and horror above almost every other film,positive
i am continuously amazed at the us networks what is the matter with them yet another very very promising series after just 15 episodes and we are left not knowing what the hell happens to everyone i really thoroughly enjoyed this show and am so annoyed that we will never find out what happens to the characters and the from the deep this show had everything humour suspense action what more could you want why oh why did the pull the plug on this it just doesn't make sense buffy went on for 7 series as did and enjoyable as they were surface invasion and dead like me were even better just because a show does not get terribly high ratings doesn't mean it's rubbish and if they gave it a bit longer probably more people would catch on to it and they would end up with a big hit on their hands one season just does not give it enough time to catch on and the networks are far to eager to pull the plug they should learn that like fine and they take time to mature br br bring surface and invasion back p l e a s e,positive

the trio are a pleasant nostalgic journey to that first hint of desire when it was still about simple exploration of the unknown before we grew up and added those of hiv status emotional and gotta run my just went off into the emotional mix br br the angst portrayed is pure adolescent angst but it rings true in all three stories their and make you feel good that you are gay and those kinds of films are few and far between br br good news both boys life and boys life 2 are now readily available on dvd as of september 1999,positive
the cast played shakespeare br br shakespeare lost br br i appreciate that this is trying to bring shakespeare to the masses but why ruin something so good br br is it because 'the scottish is my favorite shakespeare i do not know what i do know is that a certain hence tried to do something similar in the victorian era br br in other words you cannot improve perfection br br i have no more to write but as i have to write at least ten lines of text and english composition was never my i will just have to keep going and say that this movie as the saying goes just does not cut it,negative
this was a movie that at the end i thought now that was an enjoyable 2 hours i hate spending around 20 not including baby sitting for my husband and myself to have that it was ok feeling br br i think i like will smith better as a comedic actor than an action hero he was well cast in this his character was very likable as was kevin br br there were several laugh out loud scenes it's also a romantic movie so guys if you want to impress the lady in your life take her to this women will like it as much as any chick flick but i wouldn't this as one there is plenty of guy humor in it for men to enjoy i think that's one of the reasons why this movie is so perfect as a date movie it has romance and slapstick i don't usually like slapstick that much but it wasn't overdone and i can't think of any those scenes that didn't deliver laughs br br i definitely recommend this movie the first thing my husband said to me after it was over was i want to see it again,positive
i haven't seen this funny of a show on fox in a long time and the wait was worth it the kids in the show have something that i can relate to on every episode and even my dad will sit down and watch it it is a show not for all ages that doesn't dumb down for kids it is like still standing but to the next level the stuff that everyone says is stuff that everyone says and actions that everyone does it says stuff that we all think but in a well rounded way of presentation the first time i saw the show i could not believe that it was on fox and that it was allowed to stay on the air after a few episodes from boyfriend choices to boyfriend choices it is well worth the watch,positive
i must say when i saw this film at a 6 5 on this site i figured it was well worth a view i was sorely disappointed from nearly the opening scene it is obvious the two supposed fbi agents are in fact the killers could they have made it any more obvious if that is the intended twist in this film that's pretty sad while and are excellent actors even their talent is no match for a bad script acts the part of a killer and that's the problem there is no switch from i'm playing fbi guy to i just killed 12 people and boy are my arms tired you can't blame the actors the story fails in far more ways than one br br from the of the film however i was certain i was wrong that no director writer would ever be so blatantly obvious about a plot twist and must just be acting strangely in order to the viewer's attention from the real killers i thought which gave the film's makers far too much credit i should have followed my instincts and turned off the movie before it even made it past the 15 minute mark br br to lynch's credit she did manage to many things that make a good film sex violence humor and well trained actors too bad they were in the wrong hopefully james can recover from this role i found her performance particularly impressive as the stunning drug addict turned would be she should have the role so the crack whore would win br br those people who have compared this film to natural born killers take note tarantino made the characters of mickey and yet sympathetic the artistry of that film far the gore and this is not seen once in only wishes it were natural born killers in fact it has wet dreams about being even a of what that film was folks who haven't seen stick to something with a little more intelligence like camp rock,negative
this is probably the worst film i have ever seen it makes plan 9 from outer space look wonderful the acting is wooden the plot silly and the non existent the only good thing about it is the fact that it is not a long film the scenery is sometimes quite pretty assuming you like trees if that helps any,negative
i really hoped for the best with this one but it just didn't happen at a very non dutch manner and still looking great with a style and pace that's very much like hollywood what i don't understand is how with all these great benefits the director writer producer still managed to make this film a completely horrible picture to watch filled with bad jokes cheap nudity and actors that just can't really talk act in the english language for pulling it off but what was this guy thinking,negative
one of the worst movies ever made let's start with the superficial phoenix is first of all too fat to be a rookie the does not boys john travolta has a bad job and the strange in his eye throughout the movie made me think that he was on some sort of extended the plot hits on all the and clichés of what the average joe believes life as a is really like they all get drunk get into fights have a hard time expressing their emotions their wives all stay at home crying they all have father issues everyone has a boston accent et an piece of that plays on our lingering cultural hero worship of after 9 11 which was by the way valid cultural hero worship this film unfortunately presents no believable heroes to worship,negative

i thoroughly enjoyed this film i had read the book a good ten years ago and was intrigued about how it would translate to film br br the screenplay is very true to the book which i was by this is a in itself these days the were solid and and the kept me shifting in my even though i already knew the ending from the book br br an intelligent and well crafted film,positive
and it's a good one too in fact this may be one of the best studies of sexual ever made it's extremely well acted and has some downright chilling moments an often overlooked film in clint eastwood's filmography and of him to be sure but if you're willing to accept him in such an ambiguous role it's certainly very gripping,positive
now first let me say i love god awful movies especially horror films mainly i watched hundreds of movies on mystery science theater 3000 with no pain but this is the absolute worst film on the planet i had to turn it off it was so bad it was unfunny and just plain unwatchable give me 3 back to back viewings of the hands of fate or monster a go go over this any day avoid this film like the now excuse me while i go out my eyes to them of the filth i had to watch to get a decent judgement for this film only one decent gag in the part i watched was the now are an pair for even that wasn't to great of a gag,negative
i knew that i was not about to see a quality film when this title was included in a grade video at a friends place despite the i was still surprised at just how bad this film was it was fortunate that there were a lot of us there to share the pain with each other the film attempts to tell the story of a dark future one in which a mad max type of character heads off to rescue a damsel in distress in reality the plot is a disguised excuse for the producers to promote their own on life watch the end credits and the people are not at the end for a real laugh the movie is frequently lacking direction and fails to develop its characters to any degree whatsoever what's even worse though is the editing of this film the film repeats scenes often 10 to 20 seconds long up to 4 or 5 times in a row i think that this was an attempt to things like jean claude van damme fight sequences but if it is it fails utterly the film would probably be about 1 3 of its length if we weren't forced to watch the main character move his head in front of the setting sun half a dozen times yes that's all that happens in that repeated scene i give this movie my film i've ever award i doubt that it will be topped any time soon,negative
inspired by true events radio is one of the best acted heart felt dramas i seen widely released in sometime it definitely is one of the year's best films of 2003 br br radio stars ed harris who is oscar worthy nonetheless in this film as football coach harold jones coach jones has been teaching football all his life and loves the game however coach jones does not spend much time with his wife and daughter played by debra and sarah drew one day radio played by cuba gooding jr in his best performance since men of honor comes by the football field while the team is practicing for the game some members of the team then tie up radio and throw him into a building they then bang on the building and finally coach jones suspects something is wrong he comes over and helps radio who is frightened and from that point on coach jones and radio shares a very special bond radio becomes the highlight of every football game and really enjoys in the football games and at school events he also becomes coach main interest in life over football which at first was his main before both his family and radio br br the movie deals with all sorts of real life problems including what your are life accepting people for who they are even if they are different death and family relationships the movie touches upon all those issues and more and is extremely well done and director michael should be very proud of this film the thing i liked most about radio was how real it felt the performances were like watching something in real life occur right before your eyes radio had a great mix of comedy and drama some parts were quite funny yet other parts were very serious and sad br br in conclusion i feel that radio was very overlooked by critics only getting average reviews they must have there heads up there because its amazing how this film can only get 2 star reviews and something like school of rock can get 3 or 4 stars it doesn't make any sense to me also the performances as i mentioned before are top notch and oscar worthy in my opinion both ed harris who i think is underrated as an actor and cuba gooding jr should both get some kind on nomination for this movie radio is one my favorite movies of the year and gives me reason to still see some of the big hollywood movies my final rating for radio is a 9 10,positive
the opening scene of the beach at while amusing in itself unfortunately provides a suitable metaphor for the film insipid and washed out it is actually not as corny as most of the others in the carry on series but maybe because of that doesn't really deliver much fun it's a fair bet that the title will appeal to fans of the benny hill show but those looking for attractive females in and while they will see some in this will probably enjoy some of the other titles in the series such as carry on abroad or carry on up the jungle more the of early 1970s is used as a plot device which seems rather self,negative
if you like your sports movies to be about dignity and the best values then work for you big time in places sure of course it is and proud of it it is the biggest and best ride in the carnival and should be enjoyed as that br br big production values simple telling with creative shots it is not complex is a very nice and remarkably sweet film it really feels like a labor of love from bill paxton and i bet his son gets that br br the build up is slow enough to be enjoyed the conflicts and the british vs americans handled with a degree of but the dignity between the two main protagonists is always to the i have minor the score wants to be james but is too overblown and there are too many close ups and shots for 2005 but if you want a straightforward decent and good looking sports film then this is it br br so here's the thing and i feel like i know my film but i actually liked it more than which is a better film but greatest story is simply disney at its core and hugely enjoyable thanks bill,positive
i would label this show as horrendous if it weren't for the fact that it's on the same network as arrested development because it is on fox and getting while ad got cancelled br br it is absolutely beyond words how atrocious this show actually is but let me try and describe it take an extremely low rate and have him out humor that would have been out of date if it were on married with children then take great plot lines from ad son has an ugly boring girlfriend and dumb them down so the idiots who watch sitcoms can understand them br br if you watch this i will have completely lost respect for you as should your family however if you are a fan you should love new comedy death looks like real funny cutting edge stuff i mean married couples not getting along brilliant,negative

4 is pretty sequel the look very different from the first three but there still cool there are some nice flash backs from the first movie jonathan is back once again in this one he wasn't in parts 2 or 3 though the movie is low budget at times but fun to watch you've got tony cox as the dark and as the light the in this movie are actually good guys instead of evil like in the first three movies both are pretty funny characters in the movie then you've got the very hot alexandra it's a great dark comedy and funny any fan of the movies will enjoy watching 4 the dvd is finally coming out this july 2007 hopefully one day iii will be on dvd in the usa i'd really like to see a sequel to this movie one day too i doubt it will happen though it's 2007 now and no sign of a sequel yet if there ever is a sequel i hope jim will make it br br i give iv a 9 10,positive
i am a huge fan of the first four on projects i own them and watch them every few months i lend them to co workers and friends just so they can get a good scare from quality japanese film making i think takashi created a great story and presented it very effectively in these four br br i was somewhat excited about the grudge 2 opening in theaters i saw the first american grudge before watching the four originals the grudge was actually pretty good of course the originals are better but i got a good halloween scare from the 2004 american grudge br br the grudge 2 started off badly and went down from there i kept waiting for it to get better to make sense to show talent nothing like this happened the thing that's great about on work is the story true it's usually told in a disjointed style that you have to think about to connect its but it is still a great story there was no story in the grudge 2 it was a series of gratuitous deaths from characters that you never had time to even start to care about br br the editing was atrocious disjointed as in the japanese originals is one thing but the complete of scene sequence was i just kept thinking this is so stupid and no he didn't really sell out this much did he it made me want to walk out of the theater run home and watch the original work simply to myself that has not always made this down generic boring non thrown together tripe br br if you really have your heart set on seeing this movie i suggest you wait the 2 months to rent it really two of the five people in the theater with me walked out about 45 minutes into it i on whether to do that myself going home and cleaning the house actually sounded like a better way to spend my time at that point br br i am truly shocked at how bad this movie was let's pray sam doesn't put out more cash to make the grudge 3 it's just not worth it anymore sigh,negative
i went to the cinema in 1973 when the film was released i was 11 at the time i remember how much i enjoyed it and wanted to live in la that's how naive and young i was i recently came across a video of the film i had recorded off television some years ago i watched it again and am not ashamed to admit i still enjoy it as much now as i did years ago i also enjoy listening to the words of the songs because it makes me think that one day we could live in a place where the sound of guns don't pound in our ears and if we look at our reflection we should be happy with what we see this is what i call a feel good film because i feel happy after watching it maybe i am still naive but it makes me happy and i'm sure it will make you happy if you watch it with an open mind and enjoy it for what it is a good family film i must be one of the few people who has this film on vhs pal video and dvd self made i recorded it on dvd as the recording from tv was starting to wear thin i still watch it from time to time,positive
he seems to be a control freak i have heard him comment on losing control of the show and tell another guest who brought live animals that he had one rule no snakes he needs to hire a comedy writer because his jokes are lame the only reason i watch him is because he some some great guests and bands br br i watched the craig show for a while but his show is even worse he likes to bull sh to burn time i don't think either man has much of a future in late night talk shows br br daily also has the annoying habit of sticking his tongue out to his lips he must do this at least 10 times a show i do like the joe band carson daily needs to up before it is too late,negative
well what to say br br i think i shall start with a confession i have cried 4 times in my life once when my dad died twice due to a girlfriend in high school and at the end of this film this film deals with the real confronting issues of 6 school kids forcing them quite into the open for all the world to see i have never seen a film that deals with the human emotional condition as well as this everything from incest to is covered here and i doubt there are many people who are safe from the of with at least a couple of scenes br br it starts off with a suicide at 2 then without letting you know who it was that died the story begins to be told from the start of the day it follows the lives of 6 school kids up until 2 it and edited with personal interviews of the 6 teenagers lets you know everything about their lives their loves hates dreams desires secrets shame false confidence self loathing corruption and arrogance the overall outcome of which is a sort of trying to discover the identity of the before it is revealed at the end of the film without spoiling anything i must let you know do not feel cheated by the ending it contains a very important lesson br br and now a warning this film is definitely not for the faint hearted many people actually walked out of the cinema half way through when i saw it disgusted by some of it's content or perhaps it's that it's sometimes hard to face the cold hard truth of reality this is what high school is like for many people i'm sure most would agree,positive

is a story surrounding a police department in india is a hard working hard edged cop heading up a plain crime squad who makes a name for himself by killing dangerous criminals in staged police encounters rather than them up in prison his loyal officers him without question but a forms when one of his officers becomes frustrated by high status and is secretly competing with him for criminal kills and status a new is also pushed into the and is angry when allows him to take the lead on his first case further change comes in the form of a new police who of tactics and everyone gets caught up in internal politics br br i was surprised to see such a well directed action thriller coming from india the camera work is excellent the story is well told and the tension is high when the drama unfolds the acting pace and political convinces the viewer that they are a fly on the wall witnessing the blood sweat and tears from a close up and personal view and that the events are based on reality which is no doubt why we are told that it is not at the beginning of the film although it is likely that the director has taken liberties with factual accounts nevertheless is an extremely polished piece of film making,positive

the has been interpreted in many different ways ranging from more or less traditional views as dealing with art to more post modern approaches that like to the play along post colonial feminist gender or lines the reason why version left me fairly cold is that i didn't have a clue what he was on about what is the underlying vision idea concept behind this rendering of shakespeare the previous reviewers do not get much further than revenge tragedy punk show but surely there is more to it isn't there this is not to say that there is no vision here just that i was hard put to discover it be that as it may there are still things to enjoy the punk is refreshing and funny as miranda and jack as are wonderful i did not much care about williams as not enough magic i suppose the switches between the old monastery castle and the very english world outside can be a little unsettling at times but i guess that is intentional all in all interesting but not quite the success i had hoped it might be particularly after seeing,positive

i didn't even watch this whole movie now i like 50's sci fi movies even when they are wildly inaccurate but this one just annoyed me for one thing one member of the crew on the spaceship talks and acts like he might have made it into the grade he sounds like he ought to be on a league not a space ship out the window of the spaceship the crew is at earth and this says you see brooklyn ' and another guy says and the says i wonder who's ' me a moment i think my sides are splitting br br when they first get up into the says 'the moon is just for looking at take me back down ' watching the crew making stretched mouths and screaming from the g forces of during is also not one of the better moments of the film perhaps the film's best moment can be identified by a big the end on the screen br br we also find out that they can't open the because 'the it before they took off sure a space vehicle is going to be by a member of the crew who we later learn has never even had a space suit on before and doesn't know anything about zero gravity as baby the fat cartoon duck once said that sounds logical the no gravity in space effects are so bad it's painful to watch everyone knows in the absence of gravity everything tends to go up br br how this movie gets 6 3 stars out of 10 when other vastly superior films don't rate any higher is a mystery to me i really do like old sci fi movies but this one is not realistic and the lame attempts at character humor by throwing in that from a gas station grease pit does not work at all it just ruins the movie i think in retrospect it's not the whole movie i hate so much as the fact that 'the is so obviously not someone who would be on a space ship not even to the ' i wonder if he checked the fan too maybe if they'd left 'the off the trip it might not have been quite so excruciating even so it's only average what everyone else is raving about i don't know br br you want to watch a neat 1950's space movie x beats it all to heck maybe not so much but a more serious story and less goofy characters,negative

instead watch it as a great coming of age tale about african american males in the mid 1960's in the of chicago for all of you out there under the age of 50 what's happening was a light hearted rather quirky sitcom with very few serious moments that lasted four years 1975 1979 concerning a group of young african american high school kids living in a working class neighborhood i liked it a great deal it just has no real connection to this film high started out as being the basis for what's happening but its serious nature did not register well with test audiences so it was as a comedy even though the credits on what's happening still read that it was based on this movie br br this film starts out light but touches many aspects of life unique to the 1960's and also some other aspects of growing up that are timeless the guys deal with sex betrayal and even early death the ending is quite powerful and serious and the film has a great soundtrack highly recommended unfortunately this film is not new enough to be played on cable channels and not considered old enough to be considered a classic movie and played in the few for those films either,positive
three of the things you can say about gray are he certainly to the beat of his own drummer he was never at a loss for words and he obviously felt that those watching and listening to him would be interested in every aspect of his life experiences and thoughts no matter how trivial at times br br most of us are not quite as far off the wall as he was most of us aren't as interested in sharing the most minute parts of ourselves with others even one on one or in small groups let alone on stage br br but that doesn't make it any less interesting to watch and listen to this unusual man and after seeing one of his performances on reflection we can find many of his were perhaps more relevant to our own lives and thoughts than we may have first thought br br granted he was a new york avant garde type of personality and undeniably a bit strange there are those who would maintain describing someone as new york and strange was being unnecessarily redundant br br i give him a 10 for the talent he presents in this genre which is his,positive
sure the concept had already been done with and the thrust modern society onto one or more out of place characters but i loved both shows and watched them until they ended in 1990 when i learned about i was actually very hopeful for something new as new tv in the 90's so far hadn't impressed me but at least star trek and the simpsons were still going br br what i got was a big disappointment the acting was awful but considering the ridiculous dialogue and wholly unbelievable writing i can't blame them too much for what they had to work with there were a few humorous moments but most of the deliberate jokes seemed forced in their delivery the whole production work on the show seemed too low budget for what was on tv at the time in the 80's it would have fit right in br br still it was the first episode and had to introduce the characters and establish the entire premise of the series so i gave it the benefit of the doubt the second episode wasn't as bad and i started to get my hopes back that once it got into its the show would improve sadly my vcr ended up not recording the third episode aired i never got to see it and the series disappeared from the tv after that all i have now are the first two episodes recorded off the air onto a vhs tape,negative
this is one of the best and most under rated teen movies ever made br br i saw this growing up and it was and is one of my favorites maybe not as popular as fast times but just as great br br there is a serious side to this movie as mentioned by other reviewers it starts as a comedy and into a drama about halfway through that's the beauty of it though and what sets it apart you get it all humor not unlike that of fast times drama and a great great soundtrack br br i personally think every kid about to enter high school should see this it would give an idea about the journey their about to on what kid watching this wouldn't be able to relate to someone in the movie the fact that it becomes so serious halfway though is also cool and just superbly well done you don't even see it coming definitely a lot of surprises br br spoilers don't read anymore if you don't want to know br br great humor who could forget the scene between gary and i can still hear it oh my big strong priceless br br some of the scenes between gary and are hard to watch particularly the final scene of coarse there are so so many women like karen out there who would have made the exact same choice she did think about it how many women reject men with hearts of gold like gary for i know i've done it and so have many females i know this movie will inspire discussion and despite the countless times i've seen it still leaves me filled with admiration for the film makers and performers everyone will find someone to relate to in this movie or what's more likely more then one person br br lastly the music used is just great a lot of cars lots of obscure now songs from the 80's an 80's dream br br but make no mistake it is not the music that makes this movie unique it is the story itself plain and simple one of the best of it's kind and a teen movie classic,positive
closet land the title itself up thoughts of secrets and that is really what's at the heart of this international film government secrets personal secrets both are integral pieces of this story br br by far the greatest acting seen in too long a time both alan and madeleine were phenomenal in their portrayal of a government and victim respectively with only the two actors in this unusual standard length film it is instantly clear that both actors were dedicated and talented enough to pull the viewer into this tiny bubble of a world and shut the door br br a word of caution br br what isn't mentioned on the description of this movie is that there is a subplot that deals with childhood sexual abuse while there is no graphic detail about the abuse the nature of it may be difficult for some viewers to watch especially given the intensity of the film on whole br br i'm not a big fan of international films but this movie drew me in because the acting was so exceptional and i can't help but make this movie one of my personal favorites,positive
roy and a host of other so called get the title of because of the fact that they love portraying india and in a bad light and makes her money from it anyway anyway are too gentle or scared to protest the way muslims protest so anybody can take any liberties with and it is a fact that during the 1930's women in the west were also when they were widowed just that nobody likes to point out anything bad about the west or anything other than india and she paints an portrayal of india and the situation of there nowhere is it mentioned that child marriage is illegal she ended the movie saying there are million in india of course among a billion people there will be that many but how many are living life she has depicted in the movie finally is selling india and poverty to make dollars how pathetic,negative
i thought that eastwood's most unusual role was that in the bridges of madison county but that was until i saw the he manages to pull it off giving a very good performance and so does the rest of the cast the direction is imaginative given that the film was made in 1971 and had there not been some plot holes which the director seems to struggle to cover up at times we would be talking about an excellent film it remains powerful nonetheless br br 8,positive
i only went to see this movie because i have always liked kevin i felt that did a great job in the effect unfortunately even though these two actors were are capable of good if not great acting moments some of that was missing here some of the scenes were just not believable and didn't have enough story line support br br though the movie claims influence from the aftermath there was very little none to that effect in the movie br br overall i liked the fact that the movie brought forward some of what goes into saving lives from a water perspective br br the special effects were pretty good and more than a little not sure i'll ever go deep sea fishing again br br i expected a little more emotion in the film than what was presented br br definitely a movie that could've been seen on dvd,positive
the animation quality here is decidedly below par imo regardless of the age of the the plot itself makes sense but the characters don't br br this might sound but considering that the city of is almost exclusively populated by living machines would you feel comfortable there as a human would any machine ever human arrogance short and greed quite so effectively i doubt it there are some towards this in the movie but only when the team can be bothered to put them in by and large the or whatever they are are with human characters seems sloppy to me br br the main characters seem to have some kind of emotional though no light is shed on this little light is shed on the at all a great pity the short length of the film coupled with the focus on and the crime means that we don't see any character depth the all down yet we're left with no finished product a version of this would have made a great tv episode once some character sub plots had been established br br the highlights of this short film are the designs and the action espionage br br the flaws really start to show through once you've had a chance to all the goings on so i couldn't recommend this for but it's certainly worth a watch or two whilst this review is mostly negative i really do think it's worth your time to watch this but it's not something to rush out and buy br br in a nutshell a watchable wasted opportunity,positive
renting this direct to video film i was not expecting an amazing piece of cinematography not to say just because a film is in cinema it will only very loosely following the story in the epic poem this film provides a unique take on the tale of monsters and super humans the general photography can be as conflicted with its mixture of and post apocalyptic reminiscent of mad max with a rock and soundtrack to boot one comes away feeling a bit off the fight scenes though unbelievable are entertaining and christopher possesses some of the most interesting weapon i have ever seen on film though often a tad the special effects used for the monster grendel are surprisingly effective and are one of the few highlights br br christopher delivers an average performance as beowulf it will be nowhere near as memorable as but at least it wasn't as poor as the supporting cast is rather neutral br br if you're looking for a good action adventure story with a complex and engaging plot i would not suggest this film however if you want a flick that is of little substance full of campy battle scenes and a somewhat predictable plot find a copy of this,negative

i am seldom motivated to write a review unless inspired by the quality of the movie in the case of moon i was so uninspired i felt the need to warn others how bad this tv mini series is here are a few thoughts br br the indians they came across like they were in a saturday night live skit making fun of how indians talk when writes dialogue in his novels it reads so interesting i am not sure how they ended up with what they got br br gus looks like from the old series acting is ok and the mannerisms from robert are right on but the look is pure comedy cowboy br br clara maybe you could use a little dirt or sweat on her next time ever been in austin in the summer before air i promise you women did not look like that do you think they never saw any episodes of br br elisha again whenever they are in the office it feels like a saturday night live skit and the skit is bombing br br call call is the most reasonable character of course he talks so little how can you screw up that but hey what about that hat br br blue duck see above and include the fact that he isn't even a tiny bit scary they should have gotten to play the part br br the rangers right out of o brother where art i expected george to come riding up and them to break into a song br br perhaps i am because the miniseries isn't completed but i doubt i will watch any more of it any way br br i would not expect anyone to be able to the enthralling feel of but i watch this and it seems like they have no feel for the old west at all,negative
i saw the korean version of daisy first it came across as a simple love story that nicely from start to finish i saw it 3 times as i waited for my copy of the director's cut to arrive br br then i got the and watched it wow i think this is the first real director's cut i've ever seen amazing how detailed the editing is in both versions the is laid out like a hardcore thriller with the love story in the background it moves at a slower pace than the korean version the variations between both versions are so it seems like two totally different movies i thought i would be worn out watching the movie again it out just to look for the added scenes that wasn't the case it really felt like i was watching a whole new movie br br while the is 20 minutes longer than the korean version you'll be hard pressed to where or what has been changed 2 seconds chopped off here a second added there an entire scene added here another there in both versions scenes have been added or chopped up and in some scenes entire lines of dialogue were replaced or while the scene itself was even simple sound effects were added from each version having a major impact on the mood of the film and sometimes even changing the outcome of a scene what comes across as a tender moment in the korean version is a sad somber one in the the endings of both versions leave room for interpretation as far as i can tell both versions end a lot different and were intended that way br br i'm assuming most people will be the director's cut of the film and will find the movie pretty decent but a little long and boring if that's the case look for the korean version same movie but different feel i think there's a 3 dvd version that contains both cuts of the film not sure br br the versions compliment each other so well that as a pair i'll watch daisy more often than i do any of my other favorite korean movies alone i'd say the korean version is a nice love story that i'd watch once in awhile the director's cut i'll watch maybe once or twice then never again as i find the pacing dull but they just go so well together for what i consider the best experience i'd say watch the korean version first then watch the director's cut to help fill in the gaps of the story that you were curious about br br the editing is the real star of the film,positive

after his success with a nightmare on elm street in 1984 director wes craven for some reason decided that his next project would be this tv movie i'm not a big fan of this director on the whole early exploitation flick the last house on the left as well as his modern slasher scream sit well with me but the rest of his work is very hit and miss and i'd hesitate to call him the master that others have him as the main theme here is although it's more a for the plot rather than an important part of the movie the main influence here is obviously the excellent 1974 zombie film and we focus on miles a businessman frozen for ten years before an accident that means he has to be out immediately miles is a part of a project for people that are ill they pay to be frozen in the hope that they will be in the future when their can miles is successfully and it's seen as a miracle but the person that wakes up is not the person who was frozen as miles returns without a soul br br this film could actually have been quite decent judging by the idea behind it but instead we're given a plot that doesn't really have a lot to it and it has to be said that craven doesn't make the best out of the potential of the film the is the main point but it would seem that not having a soul and simply having a murderous intent no compassion are the same thing which feels a bit unimaginative the film was made for television so it's not particularly nasty and it's obvious that not a lot of money was spent on it as the whole production feels very cheap michael never became a very popular actor and that isn't surprising judging by his performance here while he is passable he largely lacks charisma and is not in the central role the plot doesn't flow too badly but there's a real lack of suspense and or tension and things slow down too much too often which results in the film being rather boring on occasion it all down to a predictable ending also overall i have to admit that i was not impressed at all by this film and as far as craven's filmography goes would have to go down with shocker the scream sequels and the hills have eyes ii as a miss,negative
i bought this film from my local blockbuster for an it's been sitting in my video for at least a year now then tonight i decided to see it the film was quite different to what i had expected and i didn't find any humour in it all i saw was that it was a bleak look at people dealing with love relationships and sexual and i didn't really see the psycho killer plot really having a point except to add tension to the end of the film i felt that the person playing the lesbian woman did a great job i was following her emotions and what happened around her some people would probably have seen some of the stuff that she does as funny but i could really put myself in her place loving someone but them you at every turn no matter how hard you try i thought it was a very moving film and dealt with all the different well i was expecting something like bound a love story but this is a very different film not for,positive

i watched the version with pathetic american over maybe this made it much worse but from what i could make out the film was pretty bad anyway it seemed low budget the visuals reminded me of a second rate tv movie random white dog for embarrassing 60's bbc costumes etc mainly though i feel like the characters in the movie did not behave anything like the characters in the comic and as a result i never felt willing to even try to forgive the poor look of the film it is always going to be hard to capture the feel of the comics in a film without using animation and i didn't feel this attempt was worth it ultimately,negative
previous tarantino movies were from a guy in love with other movies this one is from a guy in love with his own writing it isn't its disgusting br br i absolutely hated the entire point of a film is to entertain if u call bashing people's heads and their entertaining and if there is one unforgivable sin a movie can commit it is extreme boredom or disgust br br the movie is just a collection of endless and excruciatingly boring and disgusting scenes of people talking at tables in various languages there is even one scene where 3 people talk for nearly 45 minutes at the same table before thankfully they are all shot i wished they would have been killed off after 5 minutes even woody allen knows when to shut the f k up br br this table talk style is a tarantino hallmark but in other films i actually cared about what they were saying and the people who were talking here i couldn't care less all of films display an enormous confidence particularly jackie brown but here there is a feeling in every scene tarantino had no idea where he was going with the film br br is it violent sure there's torture and but you'd have to remind me thankfully the film was so thin i didn't even remember i had seen it earlier in the day when until i saw a review on br br he's out of gimmicks and apparently dying to write a novel but do us a favor and spare us the movie br br i walked out of this movie halfway through and i would never recommend anyone seeing it no matter what a die hard fan he or she is br br i give it 0 10,negative

this is quite an entertaining b flick in the universal horror series featuring dracula the and monster the plot revolves around dracula john carradine and larry the jr visiting a revolutionary doctor they both ask him if they can be and the doctor attempts to a way for each beneath the doctor's castle they find monster buried in mud this is apparently a reference to the previous movie in the frankenstein series br br of course if things had went as planned the movie would have turned out incredibly boring instead dracula can't his and the doctor is eventually infected by a blood with as a semi vampire the doctor goes insane and monster as with all of the universal horror series the ending is completely a beautiful woman with a one of the doctor's two has a particularly gruesome end plus you just have to feel sorry for monster in this film he's awake for around two minutes kills one police officer and then yet another building what's this the fifth now on top of him and is consumed by flames it is also unfortunate that the great character created in the wolf man 1941 larry is really reduced here people that film and performance in it here he would be criticized as wooden all in all though it's a pretty fun movie at just minutes a nice waste of time 7 10,positive

holy this movie rocks the duo of chris and david spade are great together my favorite parts are fat guy in a little coat oh my gosh room service and more scenes that will be remembered for years to come this movie has a huge cult following i wonder why which proves that even eleven years after chris tragic death and he still is popular he plays tommy which will make you laugh every time you still watch it he is a great comedian and is missed mr spade reminds me of dan while chris reminds me of john belushi they done more than 2 movies together this movie is a must buy and should be in every snl collection,positive
this was a pretty good movie that was overall done quite well the idea about mercy won't spoil was original also i think angelina did a good job as one of her first movies the only things i upon were some of the corny fight scenes won't spoil either i liked the first movie and i liked this one as well 7 10,positive
this is a horrific re make of the french movie ma en rose http imdb com title the only scenario that i can imagine in which anyone bates butler what were they thinking agreed to be associated with it is seeing the original being rightly impressed and a friend with no writing credits or talent to his name to translate the themes for american audiences whom they both agreed are stupid stupid stupid then she other friends to sign up and they did so as friends certainly not on the merits of this contrived everything but the kitchen sink script br br i'm not a jerk fan of french film but ma en rose is a subtle thoughtful and thought provoking treatment of sensitive cultural issues i would love to see it get wider exposure among english speaking audiences and if that means an american re make so be it but a little respect for the issues and the intelligence of the audience and better direction for the actors who couldn't seem to decide if they were working for williams or jerry lewis,negative
i was skeptical before going to this because of the horribly assembled trailer which made it look like an equally horrible movie i was nicely surprised by how much i did not waste my money i believe the films success comes from how creepy it really is and how the environment of the house is little things like the lights create a true uneasy feeling the shadows and cold feeling of the house make it easy to tell that no matter how much you know horror films anything could happen in the film the acting is by no means perfect nor were they bad the main character is convincing even given the annoying teen dramas that surround her in the end i was thoroughly impressed with the film in most aspects br br it is definitely a film i would recommend,positive
supreme is a movie about a female assassin who works for the u s government she has to kill a known tv reporter but his life when she sees that he has a little daughter because she hasn't killed him she becomes the next target of her br br the script isn't good although i've seen worse b movies a hit man with the government killing innocent people in the name of fighting terror what's next aliens the victim no supreme will never win any award because of the script and the acting isn't any better i'm afraid a few better known actors michael madsen and who clearly had a lot of bills to pay and accepted to play in this movie together with some other actors who probably don't even know what a camera really looks like don't do any good to the movie either br br so why should you watch this movie well if you haven't got anything better to do but to watch some action flick and you are tired of the 10 of or the a team than this might be the movie you want to see otherwise you better leave it alone i give it a 3 10,negative
usually any movie with steve in the lead is a good movie however this movie does not to that opinion is a below average movie that is extremely confusing in the beginning reminds me of star trek but is able to pick things up a bit towards the end when london becomes zombie city a horror sci fi mess that is very hard to sit through although the naked vampire is very easy to look at this movie deserves a rating of 4 out of 10,negative
when the girls started in germany i did not want to watch them because for me it was just something which was not unique it was a series and i even did not know someone in it later on i realized that edward is part of the cast of overboard a movie i absolutely adore i had to watch it once with a friend and never stopped since it's just fun you have the feeling that it is okay to have sex before being married and it's okay to be a coffee and to eat stuff all the time i do not do these things all the time but when i do these things i feel a little bit like a girl even my boyfriend started to watch them and that tells something from season to season it got better with the scripts and the stories they have a open mind and by being different from every other show you want to be like them,positive
after seeing big fat liar i think jason learned a lot more when he told the truth about marty stealing his story it was like the boy who cried wolf people heard him but they didn't believe him nobody did anything to help him besides not only movies stink so does his advice the truth is not overrated i am so glad he got exposed for what he really is everyone found out that he stole from that boy including his parents not only he stole from that boy and about it he gave them someone else's work and tried to call it his own which is doesn't he know that it is illegal to someone's idea another reason why he got fired he is not he's a liar a cheat a thief a crook and a you got that marty you're a plus you got everything that you deserved,positive
this movie is actually so poor in its desperate attempts at being feel good and casual it really made me embarrassed watching it i can't imagine how the inner circle of norwegian and press must have felt trying to pretend to like it at the star packed premiere its great media reviews is a sickening example of how ridiculously small and the norwegian media scene is had a foreign film of this quality reached the silver screen it would have gotten the rain of rotten tomatoes it truly deserves br br the combination of literally amateur actors home made style visual effects awkward dialogue painfully attempts at working class humour and the overly and meaningless plot really makes this a movie of rock bottom quality stay away,negative
ok say some college in southern california has an movie making class and some were just to film girls and they gave them a camera and then they were drunk stoned or just to plain stupid to actually use a camera and they turned this in for their grade and failed br br that is my only explanation for this this thing good god they left the date and time counter on during some of it the picture started in new scene way before the sound and forget about a plot well apparently there was one and they had to tell you all about it once the 3 hour introduction sequence was finished but i am glad they did because i never would have gotten it by watching this br br stay away from this,negative
definitely worth renting good clean family entertainment my 4 and 5 year olds and i loved it kept them on the edge of their seats i recommend parents sit with their younger children to watch this as it can be quite suspenseful for them it's not too often you can find movies that you can watch with your children and so this is a rare find some of the acting realism isn't quite there at times or maybe is a little corny but children don't seem to notice or care they love it parts are predictable but other parts are not like trying to figure out who the good guys are and who the bad guys are the movie doesn't have any really scary creepy stuff and so i doubt it will give children nightmares it does inspire children to dream which is something we need to encourage and foster more in our children rent and be blessed,positive

i have been an avid jane austen fan for many years i had never seen this adaptation so when i had heard of it i came here and read all the excellent reviews on that basis i eagerly ordered it from netflix what a cruel disappointment they have taken one of the most subtle and bright comic novels and made it dull each character seems to have been dealt a single facial expression a single tone upon which to base their flat characters although this adaptation seems to have used every word that jane austen wrote they appear to have been passed around to characters in a random fashion even though it was done as a miniseries this adaptation manages to confuse and feel as rushed as if it had been done as a movie of the week br br mr bennett too harsh mrs just a mr as lifeless as a the bennett girls almost and mr a man who no one would look twice at hardly the appealing i'm quite put out,negative

i saw the biopic of ed wood many years ago tim burton loving homage to this extremely but yet enthusiastic filmmaker br br then i saw plan 9 and it actually me to no end a silly story kind of bad production values but still entertaining and even funny br br then this what can you make of it well since wood has been reported as being a cross it is startling to see a movie that deals with it like a cartoon yes there are some stabs at teaching the audience something about the subject but mostly this is some kind of really twisted self parody br br one of it's problems is that it has a hundred points of view on one hand it is a for tolerance another portrays as a disease and finally it tells the audience okay if you are now then wait until you see this the problem must have been that wood had to compromise in order for the film to be made you can almost sense it when you see the opening title from the producer personally by so where are we this is neither a serious subject movie or an all out br br the entertainment value is practically the wooden voice over is mildly amusing but only because it sounds so misguided this was made in the 50s though so one can argue that was brave making a film that even mentioned the word it all comes down to what the film itself is trying to against the rape scene while mild is there simply to do that br br so sorry this is a misfire but the is not alone,negative

anyone who will pay to see troma movies knows and what they are going to get having said that i didn't think it was possible to make a movie this bad and still be compelling i found myself watching just to see how much worse it could get before the end first off it's an action movie with an american main character who looks and acts like the bastard son of taxi 's christopher lloyd and rambo he puts posters of himself dressed up like all over the place and even has a built firing range with action of his greatest enemies in although he's in the cia and has just arrived days earlier there is a lot of action involving gun play no flashes on those m only sound effects that bust through walls karate where no one makes physical contact and even some sex where all the actors are ugly the main plot of an epic like this should at least be reasonably plausible but not here it involves the world's most dangerous drug going all out to find a drug device why would they need it that is never revealed why not kill drug dogs makes no sense but it is taken seriously the actors are to be because they really seemed to think this movie would make them all famous and tried hard to act best line now dance to your grave you dirty whore best scene rambo jumps onto flying helicopter pulls machine gun out of hand let's go falls shoots helicopter as he's falling helicopter blows up cut to thrown in water f king genius if you can't appreciate trash don't watch it if you can it's awesome one last thing did i mention it was directed by the three brothers,negative
this movie had very few moments of real drama after the opening minutes the film in a spiral that didn't quite take us to hell and back viewing was pure to say the least the acting was more horrendous than the subject matter of the film and at times i couldn't stop laughing the continuity between some of the scenes was dire characters disappeared from scenes without explanation only to be replaced by other characters who minutes earlier had been some where else surely this was a spoof of the exorcist the collection plate at the church must have been full of the day mr russo signed up for this one do i speak latin et,negative
it's a mystery to me as to why i haven't caught up to this masterful 50s caper film – turned brooding noir until now but i'm certainly glad to report that it didn't disappoint i haven't seen any of jules american films for several years but based on this i'll probably be going back and re watching force and night and the city quite soon br br jean a name unknown to me but a face rather familiar in its world and has recently completed a lengthy stay in prison and as is the way in these films hey there wouldn't be a story otherwise isn't well with the straight life an opportunity presents itself an easy multi million dollar jewel heist that can be done at night with no fear of discovery by a few men the taut filming of the robbery half an hour of total silence is what people most remember about the film of course and indeed it's pretty remarkable but i liked the half completed location of the final shootout once the robbery has gone sour thanks to the big mouth of one of the thieves the excellent portrayal gritty sides of paris in stark black and white and of both eddie and bogart in his spare but brutal performance br br perhaps it's a bit too sentimental in the end but this is one of those classics that really does live up to its reputation just as pure entertainment even if what it has to say about the human condition isn't exactly deep or thought provoking george at turns romantic and score is another highlight,positive

this would definitely not have been my kind of movie but my husband saw it on tv and said it was really good so on his recommendation i bought a copy since i didn't know if it would ever be on tv again i had never heard of anybody in it except at first i had a hard time getting into the story because the first part of the movie is a of images and it doesn't make much sense it is only later in the movie that it all comes together the scene cutting if that's what it's called is a bit jarring it sometimes looks as if a few frames have been cut out of each scene and the scenes are jerky but i guess that was done to add to the if that's a word the story here and there and just about the time you have it all figured out everything turns upside down and you have to your thinking as to who is the bad guy and who is not or bad woman the acting is very good i kept thinking how much norman looks like leo the ending was a real twist totally unexpected which i liked a good show,positive

i will never get back the three hours of life this film has stolen from me br br the film is basically a psychedelic drug trip disguised as an important creative process i'd love to know what they were on when this film was being made br br its also the most historically inaccurate film in existence 2001 has come and gone without any of the events or taking place br br characters are unlikeable design is simplistic and everything just on without any sense or logic to it br br and the ending is probably the worst of it its supposed to be thought provoking but the only thought that entered my mind is what the f k is going on br br i'd say for anyone looking for serious entertainment purposes avoid this film at all cost and choose a sci fi movie that isn't stuck up its own,negative
the whole town of is afraid because they brother and he is coming back for revenge at least that's what they think br br a great johnny and a very interesting early mario star in this western obviously filmed in the br br dixon is coming back to to investigate why his brother was he is a loner and par everybody is afraid of him the mexican fighting the that took their land as well as the decent citizens that brother they him because they thought he stole their money instead of bringing it to dallas to the safety of the bank there but this is is only half the truth as we find out in the course of this psychologically interesting western br br but beware it's kind of a depressing movie as everybody turns out to be guilty somehow and definitely everybody is bad to the bone br br still i enjoyed it very much and gave it an 8 10 strange that only less than 5 people voted for this movie as of january 2002,positive

but george and are not among them the movie is fun and the pool table scene with fields has to be among the funniest i have ever seen but and george are more irritating than comical in their roles partly from script and partly from their interpretation i gave it a 7 out of 10 for the rest of the cast is a treasure of comedic timing and energy in this one,positive

this movie is a cinematic of gangster clichés the writing is grade z and the plot and story are constructed without care or logic it a messy of stereotypical gangsters think of bugs bunny cartoons and silly supporting characters the lady doctor and the writer there are much better bogart films out there in fact bogart looks like he slept through this performance he puts very little effort into this character i think the directorial advice he received was something like he's a bad guy act bad this guy is the equivalent of darth vader obvious evil and the anti hero don't waste your time with this one,negative
an obvious vanity press for julie in her first movie with blake let's see where do we begin she is a during a world war she that by falling in love her friends who are presumably because they are german citizens are and must die and she winds up as a heroine ok the scenes with the drunken pilot and the who work for french intelligence can't even be described and we won't even mention romantic scenes with a female by the way when they visit a museum look at his i it on video and it's priceless is it a farce or is it a romantic classic or is it a war movie i don't know and you won't either,negative
i think a several of america's baseball movies are among the best movies ever made when this movie was in production and heard it described as a movie i'd read about the team in the but didn't have high expectations for this film about a sport that didn't interest me br br last night i viewed it on demand and loved it almost as much as my favorite baseball movies ryan little and the cast and crew did an amazing job neil was especially convincing as the bad dad he displayed fine range and a subtle but moving character arc br br i also enjoyed the pacific actors i've been fortunate to know many of these fine people and this film captures their wonderful spirit and culture a flashback showing how the culture became such a key element of team would have been a excellent addition to the film br br some pretty tacky movies have been shot in recently it's good to see a quality film like this from the state,positive
i suppose that to say this is an all out terrible movie would be unfair but it's pretty bad the sub disney storyline involves dogs playing soccer and falling in love how cute the acting isn't bad but definitely could be better especially that of young canadian actor kevin who during the whole movie looks embarrassed like he doesn't even want to be there anyway kids will love it but parents beware,negative
that someone could have conceived this nonsense and then got it produced is incredible that it actually aired on television and actually paid to be associated with it is mind this stomach wrenching excuse for kid's programming is almost too vile to comment on i've burned yes burned any barney tapes that people have given my son to find this awful programming in my library was an unpleasant surprise and where tell me where do they get those smarmy kid actors have their parents no sense those kids will be on drugs before they're teenagers the final insult is that i have to add this extra line to the review to get it on imdb,negative
i am a a teenager living in the 21st century and its obvious that i'm not much into even bollywood let alone movies yet when i watched it left me with a unique feeling one which only an extremely effective movie is capable of br br it is a fact that like most indian movies the movie has its true and complete effect only if viewed in its original language a lot of the emotion and meaning of the movie is in its dialogues which however hard one tries can not be effectively translated into english br br explores in intricate detail the relationship between a and a child and it does complete justice to this strong bond dialogues like pan my is also one in a million enhance the emotion anyone who has closely observed the child relationship will be able to relate to the situation portrayed in the movie br br overall it definitely worth watching its a movie that has left a profound effect on me i will surely recommend it to anyone,positive

this film was different it took a sort of typical thriller story and reached for a more interesting in depth look at an individual character's struggle with faith of course it helped that the main performance by andrew mccarthy was quite excellent the other performances were also quite interesting although not as consistent the ending was a bit of a let down but there were lots of good moments the film makers tried something different here they didn't just go for the obvious chills and scares this is a dark film not for everyone but if you want to be entertained and not talked down to try this one,positive

produced by entertainment this movie is very good at all i sat through the first 15 minutes of the film before judging that the acting is bad the casting is bad and camera work is bad as i hear that there is a of this film floating around on the internet it is even worth the br br up until the time i wrote this review the average vote for this movie was an 8 5 which me to view it and there was an average high majority of for it obviously voted on by and this movie is for everyone or parents if you want to your kids with this awful film have them sit through this one for halloween,negative

i tried i really really tried to think of something that would merit rating this higher than a two it's not that i don't get it i'm a big fan of asian cinema the truth is the movie is in construction long and painfully disjointed br br i suppose that if you are of alfred hitchcock's school of thought don't tell them show them then you could try to appreciate this movie but you would still be hard pressed br br first of all the tries stream of consciousness in the style of jean luc godard and fails in this edward seems to understand the of the technique but he's very at it perhaps he gets better with age i don't know as i haven't yet attempted other films the point is he uses a of show don't tell that really only serves to the of the story sure he gets in some visually images but they don't draw the story together and they don't help to make it any better br br additionally the major concept behind stream of consciousness and show don't tell is that with the right images the right drama and tight the viewer will be able to make his or her own not to say that these will be the correct but those can be as the story progresses and every director should for some of this type of audience interaction in this edward sorely disappoints the viewer is constantly on the there is no reason to be drawn in no reason to consider the characters or their motives no reason to get emotionally involved and really no reason to stay alert br br finally gets lost in the story that he wants to tell not the story that the movie itself is telling his art moves in one direction but like a large dog he can't control he's constantly the lead trying to get it back onto the course he wants not the one that it is naturally following the most example of this is the ending the ending really should have occurred at the moment of the husband's revelation the ending of the book that the movie is focusing on and by a possible ending for the movie has already been told to us if had chosen to end at that point he would have had a much more powerful piece leaving the watcher in suspense does the story play out as the book says or does real world play out differently asking the viewer to think about this is the sort of viewer interaction that painfully needs instead he continues to tell the story he wants to tell the natural conclusion for the sake of what for the sheer sake of lingering on a main character we need to know more about her and wouldn't feel the need to tell us if he hadn't made her into a instead of bothering to make her a more engaging and deep character to begin with br br why else does and torture his movie to get in some more of those visually images the movie truly suffers for it it wants to end it has a conclusion that feels natural and leaves the viewer but instead pushes on instead a complex ending that leads the viewer on causing him or her to constantly ask so what the first ending the one that ignored that was good the second ending well my thought was so what who cares because it's not as if it is introducing something that hasn't been put forth in the storyline already but the last ending that really was a waste of time not only did the real ending leave me but i also felt it was an to what the story could have been sacrificed a potentially good story for the melancholy noir conclusion that he had insisted upon all along br br my last problem with the movie has nothing to do with the movie itself but rather its post production the if you see it is horrible long sentences stay up for a second or two while short ones stay up far too long also as quickly changes images the subtitles are removed from the screen this is one of those rare instances that subtitles should be able to stay on the screen even as the image has changed because there's not much dialog going on anyway,negative
i completely disagree with the other comments i too saw this film at an early screening and found it quite enjoyable robin williams is in top form true the tone is familiar but it is williams of good morning vietnam smart funny on point after too many dark turns williams is finally back to what he does best the supporting actors give great performances especially laura and chris walken chris plays himself as usual but as the agent to the next president he was a delight each time on screen lewis black plays only himself basically but he is wonderfully well used here there is also a fun turn by jeff goldblum the movie is more than what the trailer suggests as well the movie is funny but it is not a pure comedy as suggested it has a bit of a thriller line which everyone should seriously consider especially if you pay attention to the newspaper,positive
an descent into psychological and physical oblivion that will undoubtedly burn images of the truthful brutality and suffering of war into your cerebral in a way not many other films will in fact there is simply no other war film like it br br director witnessed the horror of first hand only 10 days after the bomb was dropped he has said that from that day it would always be his mission to express the pointless empty violence humans on each other and themselves br br mr shows us that there are no winners in war for the paths to victory and defeat are with the same soldiers down roads which only have death and destruction at their end br br mr succeeds in bringing his message to the world thru this haunting piece of cinema,positive
i thought it would be more fantastic a tale but the subject is rather down to earth compared to the story about the death i was expecting in fact there is much more of a social drama as usual in the european movies br br actors are interesting not overacting as in the average silent movie images are not so good as to be stuck in your mind as in br br this is true the comparison between the two movies is the main point here begins with a vision of a death character can see his own body there are without hands he is compelled to look back on what he has done wrong there is a vision of his happy family in the country in wife doesn't cheat on him before his eyes but she wants to flee with the little children because it would never get any better with him eventually confession is some kind of a live judgement br br well i would just add that destroying the door with an axe because his wife locked it and plans to go away with the children reminded me of the shining which was much more of a fantasy tale with death hanging around,positive

before hitting international acclaim with the silence of the director jonathan cut his teeth making quirky comedies this was one of them and like quite a few oscar winning american comedies i could mention it has a fine concept is well paced has great performances a complicated romance but it just simply isn't very funny pfeiffer is mob widow who moves to the city after her husband baldwin is murdered the crime boss who killed him takes a fancy to pfeiffer his wife is furious and to matters pfeiffer also falls for the cop who is her all of this should have been a laugh a minute pfeiffer sporting a wig is excellent as the widow as is the and is good too as the nice cop but the script is simply devoid of one liners wit humour or punch lines of the verbal or physical kind that this kind of film demands the result is it raises smiles at best rather than it charm but is short on humour,negative
nothing is sacred just ask ernie these days everybody has a video camera and a movie is hardly out before the spoofs start flying quickly written and shot and often posted directly to the internet spoofs are hot these days and we go out of our way to make sure filmmakers don't get off on their own self importance 25 years ago when the first star wars was made it was a different world filmmaking was the of a few and spoofs were very rare then god gave us wars it was shot to look cheap or was it just cheap and the audio was obviously recorded after the fact does that take away from the experience heck no that's what makes it so great it was raw and and hit relentlessly on some of the more pretentious moments of the original movie from waving around a instead of a i did that when i was young to the monster to ben just a little headache remark this film short is as much a part of the phenomenon as any of the actual star wars films rent it buy it borrow it from a friend and may the farce be with you always,positive
this was okay but really a bit disappointing because i expected more laughs considering the storyline and the lead actor bill murray it should have been a lot funnier than it turned out to be only part of this made me really laugh such as when murray lost control of his semi and was down the road at a weird angle you have to see it to appreciate it br br the supporting cast was anything but likable people just look at a of the names matthew and linda role in here as tip tucker was just downright annoying he was the worst br br other that those people the movie had some charming moments but overall it is not recommended it's another disney flop,negative
this depiction of japanese forces in the is a tour de force in the utter of war it is an effective representation of japanese views after ii in the movie japanese soldiers have been left to for themselves in the of the faced with impending they resort to and gradually lose what little humanity they have left to call this film depressing would be something of an understatement the viewer is left with an utterly sense of life's lost value in modern combat the final scene is almost too but the film is a worthy statement none the less highly recommended,positive
i've tried to why so many bad reviews of this film while the vast majority of reviews are given a rating of between 7 and 10 the reason may be this film is kind of hard to describe in a positive review although a few have done that quite nicely already this film is confusing depressing and doesn't have a happy ending i still gave x a rating of 10 because it is basically for me literature and art combined on film that is really my favorite kind of filmmaking i've only seen two of films this one and sang as with this film i'm being somewhat pretentious when i call this one of best films but i am has a style if that type of film does not appeal to you and is boring then it would be best not to watch this but x was less than sang so it had quite a lot of intensity for a thriller at least for my taste i found it quite interesting and absorbing the two lead roles did an excellent job acting i mean the lead and the young woman he thought was his half sister catherine d is always great but her role was not very large or significant in the story but everyone did a fine job i thought the cult stuff was great it may have not been very believable but that is due to its being rather abstract there is a lot going on between the lines in this film this is a very psycho thriller,positive
this movie was jerry idea to sell some records no seriously it was the thinking behind it is that if you made a film full of pop songs you could stick the tracks on a sell it and make even more money for the studio you could also release a few tracks as and the video with clips from the movie so that when mtv play a track you're actually getting free advertising for the movie this is a good business deal but an artistic disaster because many of us still have nightmares about hollywood movies from the 1980s and i rate the mid 1980s as the time in artistic terms for american film making and opened the door to this let's make a 90 minute pop video instead of a movie type film making br br jennifer plays alex a dancer who works as a to make ends meet and right away logic disappears with this career choice is a fairly sophisticated trade it's not something you walk into and learn in five minutes there's other gaps in logic like ballet dancing and being somehow similar ie if you apply to be a ballet dancer and do some hot dirty the male judges might want to meet you after the audition but you won't get the job it's kind of like saying that screen writing novel writing and play writing are somehow the same when they're not br br but i guess none of this to jerry when he asked director adrian to make the movie actually almost makes a very sexy movie is very sweet and innocent looking fortunately i out why her face is lit in close up while her is darkly long shots except when the camera cuts to close ups of her heavenly toned body that's because a body double is used most of the time and frequently the body double is a man i bet there's a few naughty boys who are feeling guilty not to mention slightly disgusted to know that,negative

it would be a shame if one has yet to watch speed be it dubbed or i prefer the dubbed version which is rare because it was funny in a good way what's great about speed is that you're never too old to watch it go red and yellow i first saw this when i was around seven and enjoyed hearing the catchy opening it disappeared for some time then i saw it again a couple of months ago i'm 19 imagine the feeling of nostalgia in singing here he comes here comes speed he's a demon on over and over again anyway the concept of the 5 so many multi function special but none were able to its genius in construction the other cars just seemed too much and it wasn't just the races or battling different bosses that made it interesting for me it was mystery persona and how the world of speed pretty much to around it they did some to some story lines from the manga but it all turned out pretty well though i can't remember if the show actually revealed how x looked like in the manga they did,positive
i saw this movie on my local cable system under the title of i was searching for new material to watch since most of the reruns one saturday morning didn't interest me i've always been a fan of andrew mccarthy and michael so i chose this movie i was pleasantly surprised br br personally i enjoyed the film rich who posted a comment about the film being spoiled for him by seeing scenes from the movie on the back of a video rental box are well justified i did not have the disappointment of knowing beforehand anything about the film this led me to rate the movie higher than the average score listed on the page br br i like suspense movies and this one was no exception the movie kept me guessing until the very end i was surprised by the ending br br the moments of reflection and of past experiences by the main character during the film only added to the suspense his reactions to those gave the film a sense of the yet side of police work the struggle with his faith is also a welcome addition br br if you like suspense films but also like films that on the character's feeling personal side this film is for you br br should you find this movie on your local cable or satellite guide watch it br br however if you are looking for a rental video follow rich advice and have someone get the video for you before watching it,positive

this movie started out cringe worthy but it was meant to with an overbearing mother a witch of a rival and a beauty queen constantly coming in second there was some goofy overacting and a few implausible plot points she comes in second in every single competition all of them unfortunately the movie suffers horribly from it's need to well be a tv movie rather than end at the ending of the movie an amusing twist in which the killer is semi revealed the movie continues for another twenty minutes just to make sure that justice is done of course now that the killer is revealed she suddenly a complete personality shift her character gets completely because the writers don't need to keep her identity secret any more the cheese completely sinks what otherwise could have been a amusing movie,negative
darling is a mixture of perfection and magic the stars julie andrews rock hudson could not have done a better attempt if they tried it's full of all the magic that a young lady wishes for and it makes it seem as if it can all really happen to you the brilliance of the director blake is shown to be at his best he was truly capturing the woman he loved on screen br br the blend of each song went perfectly with the moment in the film the film opened with julie andrews singing away in the dark and closed with the same song by andrews br br for a film of this excellence to have been such a failure when it was released is a total shock br br as it is inspirational purely inspirational one of andrews most memorable lines in this film,positive
there were heist movies before this one and indeed the likes of were an obvious influence on it but the red circle is more than just another entry in an genre and with this film director jean pierre has managed to create something that both thrills on the surface and gives its audience something to think about being cool is just as important a feature of the modern crime movie as guns and gangsters and delivers that with this film in the tone of the film is very relaxed too and allows the bulk of the film to bubble under the cool exterior the story has a number of angles but the central character is corey a thief who is released from prison his release with the escape of infamous murderer who slips from under the nose of police mattei during a train ride the first thing corey does upon release is steal some money from his former boss rico and the second thing he does is and a to help him pull of a jewel heist but rico and the police are hot on the br br the film is together by four excellent central performances is calm and as the film's anti hero while maria looks in his role as the escaped murderer is good also as a dubious club owner while the real standout performance comes from in his role as the police the film runs at almost two and a half hours and is not exactly a thrill ride however the director keeps things interesting by keeping the action focused on the important elements the film does feature crime film such as shootings but they are kept to a minimum the first two thirds of the movie are really just building up to the suspenseful heist scene towards the end was most famous for its heist sequence an designed scene in which nobody speaks a word the heist in this film is similar in that it is also and i have to say that i preferred the scene in but skill in direction and the calm and composed way that it plays out make good of it the film down to an exciting climax that rounds it all off nicely overall this might not appeal to all crime film fans as the action is more than a little bit slow but the red circle is an excellent film and deserves its reputation as a masterpiece,positive

very serious spoilers br br this movie was a huge disappointment there are so many problems i dont know where to start so i'll talk about what is good about the film br br the cast was great steve martin delivers a really funny performance of a middle aged upper class uptight white guy queen plays a big beautiful urban black gal and eugene levy well he pretty much plays himself add betty white and jean smart and you have a great cast everyone played their parts really well and if watching these guys for 1 75 hours is worth 8 to you then you wont be disappointed br br but the movie makes a lot of serious mistakes first of all there are enough racial stereotypes and racial jokes to offend everyone all the white people are uptight all the black people are ghetto the blacks are hip cool with it and poor the whites are stiff and rich except eugene levy he is clearly taken with queen and speaks the so him a freak so if you're a white man and you like black women and you know street you must be a freak the movie is with overt racial towards the black cast members and in return the whites are depicted as morons and boobs br br putting the race card aside lets look at the major flaw in the film they destroy character she comes to home under false but martin takes a liking to her anyway she's supposed to be wrongly accused of robbery martin takes up her cause 3 4 of the way through the film we find out character escaped from jail so our sympathy for her goes out the window br br there is no real plot the movie along from scene to scene with showing up in some place where she's not supposed to be like a country club or house and martin trying to hide her thats the running gag then in the last minutes of the film they decide that they're going to finally deal with that she was wrongly accused of bank robbery martin goes under cover as a to a let's face it confession from ex boyfriend and everyone lives happily ever after br br finally but there is a lot more wrong with this flick this movie appears to be a of clips from other movies the premise is clearly borrowed from another martin movie the house where goldie hawn comes to live with martin and shakes up his middle class life martin and meet online ala got mail the whole quirky rich man's life goes as far back as the sound of music and mary br br i see this movie again for free,negative
when you think of brilliant australian comedy you don't think of skit shows although i'm quite partial to a bit of 80's and 90's full frontal or even sitcoms you think of satire something that we really know how to do well front line the program we know how to take the and the war on everything is a classic example of how to do it and how to do it really well br br i've been a huge fan of chris taylor and craig for a long time i remember listening to them on triple afternoon show they were and remain two of the funniest comedians around br br although i was sad when they left triple j i was excited to find out what they were so much time in that made them have to leave they were doing and triple j at the same time so i figured this was something much bigger and what an amazingly hilarious show is biting political and social satire at it's best br br i'm also pleased to say that it has recently received a much better time than friday nights and has been moved to nights right after and thank you abc finally i don't have to tape it,positive

rent this only movie if you're in the mood for laughs for sheer stupidity as this movie wouldn't scare a bunch of at a halloween party the trouble is there is too much gore for so definitely don't put this in your vcr for the it starts off with a little bit of promise giving you the impression that the box cover artist may have actually started watching this film before the cover but then quickly into epic stupidity the killer scarecrows are clumsy that are about as scary as the one in the wizard of oz but not quite as smart if they'd only had a brain i got this movie for 1 20 at a local close out store and even so i feel somewhat ripped off i think with all the other comments posted here if you actually pay to see this you can only blame yourself,negative
i walked into the movie theater with no expectations for the film i was about to witness everything is i walked out with a joy i have barely come to feel with american films the directorial debut of actor the film follows a man on his journey through the past accompanied by an eccentric group including a dancing barely english speaking punk from the his grandfather who believes he is blind and their crazy dog the first half of the film is funny and smart with an extremely european flavor in the usage of small but wonderful characters while the second half of the film into a somber story of discovery and the holocaust this little movie brings out so many emotions and so many colors with such a wonderful conclusion and is more than just a story of but also of relationships and connections the acting is incredibly powerful the story mysterious and interesting and the artistic appeal of the cinematography to die for with some brilliant and absolutely touching scenes everything is managed to capture my heart,positive
after human chop and properly it i felt and to inform potential viewers that chewing on this product is no fun and its substance of low value br br according to the dull nature of this film the following is gonna be a warning more than a review this is the first time i wished that there is an i don't care to rate this movie button on imdb because the only reaction to this boring piece of trash is and indifference every possible rating would do injustice to all the other items listed here a 10 is out of question anyway 1 might some readers that this is one of those cases where it's so bad that it's actually really bad and that's and 5 is unsatisfying as well people might think that it's an ok flick and alright if you wanna have some cheesy fun which it is not honest to god it's neither a 10 a zero nor a 5 it's nothing a black hole a work conceived by an i bought the region 3 dvd which was cheap 7 bucks at least and of good picture quality i bought it mainly because of the positive and promising reviews posted below my own entry oh boy was i to be disappointed this movie is neither shocking nor disgusting nor unnerving nor it's not even laughable it doesn't take itself too serious to be laughed at but still serious enough so as not to be comic a truly amateurish effort the only sequence that i found mildly disturbing is when two thugs put an ugly dog in a bag and bash it against a brick wall but even such a cruel premise only lead to a poor execution the further down toilet scene is unrealistic and without any sense for suspense suffering or the look like painted there is a scene at the end of a 85 minutes where three men dressed in plastic a setup which one finds also depicted on the front cover of the dvd start to of the female body reminded me of american psycho and shallow grave now these flicks are worth watching and true masterpieces br br let's be realistic for once and not rush to make a myth out of every asian wannabe scary movie as seems to happen lately br br if you are looking out for some eastern horror then try danny lee's masterpiece of the very same english title fan human chop it's from 1992 and has not without reason i might add been compared to henry portrait of a serial killer there is also a similar film telling the same story by a different film crew called fu there is a secret in my soup of the same year sort of a rival production it's available as a region 3 dvd and by most regarded as superior to sang i might add a few more words on the special effects what special effects there are a few chopped off limbs they look awful in a wrong sense probably made in hong kong br br that's about all the info i can share on this subject hopefully it will prove helpful enjoy your meal,negative
i'm an action movie fan but until today i've never seen a preview or an ad for this movie in italy so i went to see the long kiss on pay tv hoping for nothing special br br but what a surprise this movie is great the only problem i found is the presence of some holes in the plot but the rest is the most entertaining intriguing and funny action movie ever made br br the transformation of samantha from ordinary wife teacher to cool blooded agent recovering from seems to be a good idea the action scenes and the stunts are the best i've ever seen samuel l jackson adds some of the best lines i have ever heard and his chemistry with davis is good br br and what about she is wonderful she plays the best action heroine ever seen and does strong convincing acting and fantastic stunts br br so i think this movie had weak performances at box office and bad critics because most reviewers and some kind of public have a hard time with strong female lead roles br br 9 10,positive
what is it with studios like paramount that have a hit film series on their hands and figure it can screw around with the budget and formula paramount spent less on this film than they did on which doesn't sound bad until you realize that there's a 10 gap between when the films were made the 40 cost to make would be equivalent to about 75 million in 1989 this film is the reason that shatner has never been given a fair chance to direct other films as well every time he turned around the studio was the budget and making demands regarding the storyline the fact that this was the one storyline that and shatner could agree upon for the most part made the directorial task tough enough but after all the were done all anyone ended up with was an uneven story and a load of badly executed special effects not worthy of the original series much less a major motion picture the most glaring examples all of the effects were severely out and fake looking the shot of the enterprise going into the great was so obviously a still frame shot being away from at least the stick that held the enterprise cut out up was successfully out god chasing kirk up the mountain they may as well have just cut in shots of godzilla climbing the at the end of godzilla 1985 and used to scratch the off of the film to make electric come out of his eyes at the captain kirk yes friends i have a real problem with the look of that last scene especially br br thank goodness star trek was such a of a film,negative

this series is formulaic and boring the episodes are the same thing every week simply with slightly varied settings some purely evil character does some deed walker goes after him and it ends in a karate match the villains are super cliché super stereotypical evil villains the good guys are all pure honest and and the story lines are simplistic and unrealistic after about 2 episodes the show becomes totally unwatchable by all but the least fans certainly not best work his other work may be cliché but it usually does not drag on for weeks if you enjoy formulaic boring repetitive clichéd then this is for you,negative

this is a film that every child should see before they grow and get distorted often passed down ideas from generation to generation of family i grew up in two different places although only 20 miles apart i went to school had friends of every color religion for the first 8 years of my life then i moved to country although not anymore where it was very unusual to even have one african american kid in your class my class in high school had 2 or 3 african god why can't i just say black you can call me a or or whatever all of this political correctness me as it does most others anyway back to the film give this a try to see what happens when people get a distorted view or just what ignorance or a lack of understanding does to a culture or a country this is an excellent film everyone should see especially children,positive
ok enough already this is a terrible piece of television the camera work is appalling do i have to remind you of the so loud you can hardly hear the actors speak lady has the most annoying voice in the entire world anna massey is in such an unbelievable fashion and the lack of chemistry between and edmund is beyond beyond also the girls aren't pretty enough and the guy playing henry crawford is awful to say the camera work is dodgy is an understatement i watched this adaptation over christmas and i think under any other circumstances i would not have been able to endure this and certainly would have not been able to justify the wasted time br br i am a fan of faithful to jane adaptations so i could not bear the film adaptation or the recent pride and prejudice movie but see any other adaptation instead even emma is better than this,negative
flesh is hard to describe with a solid summary because well there basically isn't a plot the film pretty much just shows the day in the life of a hustler named joe joe who is in the underrated louis picture black moon as he makes his rounds sleeping and around to cash in the bucks to pay for his wife's abortion br br not much and since the film is quite a lengthy nine minutes you would think that flesh would be a slow moving and boring hour and a half you think wrong the film is made up of no screenplay and the angles of the film are pretty on the spot as well yet there is some kind of truth beneath every frame that gives the film its entertaining everything makes sense and serves purpose in what happens to joe in this one day he meets a regular john that is obviously lying when saying he wants to see joe again a photographer who talks so much that it joe to tears two drag queens who read out of magazines as joe receives head from a voiced addict who on later about how she wants to get a breast lift an old friend of joe who reads male on male rape stories to him and then a final scene with his wife and her lover that echoes the scene at the start of the film one of the best to a film i have seen in quite some time – and tells completely what the film is overall about br br it's astounding how the film's messages and styles feel almost timeless even though it's set in 1960s new york city in real time in real place and is filmed like an obvious independent flick from that era it's certainly not a film that could be made today which adds on to its delicious br br by unexpected jump cuts and absent of a score to advance its images – flesh is about as raw gritty as a film about male prostitution in the 60s can get,positive

i had no idea what i was going to see when i decided to view this film and to my surprise its just an extremely well made horror film that is easily one of the best of the 1970's film is of course low budget and this is an excellent example of how the story and style of a film creates chills not special effects martin is one of the great character actors of all time and he has a rare starring role here and the film also stars good friend l q jones and green moore jones and moore helped produce this film as well tv veteran charles is the star and enter the dragon beauty is his girlfriend is in a bikini at the beginning of the film and she's just gorgeous to look at film does a terrific job of staying with the story and not adding a phony feel good ending and i really liked the way the film ends great atmosphere interesting story and well directed by bernard performance is top notch also as he doesn't hold back at all and really throws himself into the role of doc good and underrated film,positive
