i haven't felt so much pain just by gritting my teeth and sitting through a movie in a long, loooong time. i've seen worse movies - movies that were less inspired and movies that were more wholly inept - but only a handful, if that, were even nearly as painful. i think what really ruined this for me is that it had some... | 0neg |
I saw this movie years ago at a film festival, and ended up looking it up here after it came up in conversation with friends last night, partly to prove to them that I was not making it up, and partly to see for myself if there was actually any record of the film's existence, or if it had sunk into some kind of mercifu... | 0neg |
...that are actually better in German than in English. If you see it in German you will note the (sometimes subtle, sometimes big) differences in language, the different dialects (US, British, Austrian-English) and it is easier to tune into the setting of post-war Vienna, which has been split into four zones of occupan... | 1pos |
I am not a fan of Ang Lee. I hate crouching tiger and I do not want to talk about hulk. I am a fan of shanghai. The setting appealed to me. There is war, there is electric tram, there is cheongsum, there is nothing more i can ask for. The film is based on a famous novel of Zhang Ai Ling, so not much credit for the plot... | 1pos |
Luciana (Carla Borelli) is sent to a mental institution so she can be treated by the mysterious Dr. Spector (Charles Kissinger.) Specter is doing more than just run the hospital though: He also likes to sacrifice his subjects to Satan.<br /><br />William ("Grizzly", "The Manitou", "Three on a Meathook") Girdler's debut... | 0neg |
A great movie documentary telling of the early days of the Warner Brothers toon studios (think of "Termite Terrace" as you watch), along with nine great toon shorts the family will love for a long time to come.<br /><br />This movie should be watched for on Showtime (or any of its other channels). Too bad it's not on v... | 1pos |
This movie was a great way to get some understanding of someone who seems to have been famous forever. It's fun and keeps moving, but at times it was hard to keep track of the passage of time in the film. It didn't seem clear how much time was passing from scene to scene and, before I knew it, it was 1987. | 1pos |
Being that the only foreign films I usually like star a Japanese person in a rubber suit who crushes little tiny buildings and tanks, I had high hopes for this movie. I thought that this was a movie that wouldn't put me to sleep. WRONG! Starts off with a bang, okay, now she's in training, alright, she's an assassin, I'... | 0neg |
There really isn't much to say about this "film". It has the odd smile or chuckle moment, but on the whole it's bland, predictable and generally pretty dull.<br /><br />The only reason I gave it three out of ten was for the annoyingly catchy jingle (which I hope I will forget soon....please God!). Otherwise its junk. O... | 0neg |
Not their greatest film, but better not bad at all. I prefer this one to At the Circus or Room Service. Some would object to the obvious ethnic humour, but in all it's quite silly and mild. Margaret Dumont proves she still has it, Groucho is sharp, Chico's shooting keys and Harpo is, well, Harpo. If you have more than ... | 1pos |
On the surface "The Chamber" is about a young lawyer named Adam Hall (Chris O'Donnell) who is trying to save his grandfather (Gene Hackman) from the death penalty. But really the movie is about breaking the cycle of racism, hatred, and bigotry that got his grandfather put on death row to begin with.<br /><br />Although... | 1pos |
This noisy aimless mess was an attempt to cash in on the popularity of Star Wars, released the previous year. Battlestar Galactica was barely able to hang on for one season despite the fertile ground and general acceptance for sci-fi that had been created by the Star Wars hit.<br /><br />This 1978 Galactica, and all th... | 0neg |
When people make movies as bad as this, do they attend their premieres? I really wanna know. How do they show their faces? I guess "comedies" like KICKIN' IT OLD SCHOOL must appeal to some kind of illiterate unschooled trailer-trash drool-toothed dipsticks, otherwise somebody fellated some major pole to get this greenl... | 0neg |
Watching "The Fox and the Child" was an intoxicating experience. The lush visuals, integrity of point of view, and utter beauty of the setting and characters left me in a swoon of pleasure.<br /><br />The plot is uncomplicated. Deceptively simple. Within the container of that simplicity a world unfolds that draws you i... | 1pos |
Spoilers<br /><br />SILENT SCREAM ain't much of a movie. I call it a micro-movie because the cast is populated by a few actors. There's only one setting. It takes place entirely inside a big but cramped house, and a lot of the action during the climax occurs in the attic. And the body count (aside from the killers' dea... | 0neg |
I could rave about the fantastic acting and directing. But every scene is like waking up in a real Hades. I mean, these people seem locked into the never-ending strain of having to live with each other, and even worse, with themselves.<br /><br />I disagree with another posted comment which said none of the acting was ... | 1pos |
Watching an almost exact replica of a brilliant film executed in less than impressive manner is just frustrating... and an insult to the original.<br /><br />Tortilla soup has the right idea, mainly because it was done once before and more successfully for that matter.<br /><br />I realize it's a remake aimed at a more... | 0neg |
Film starts with an intriguing premise: a group of teens is terrorized after a party by a pack of masked Satanic cult members known as the Shadows. Their nerves are frazzled throughout the night as the cult members close in on them.<br /><br />But then morning comes, and what could've been an interesting horror film de... | 0neg |
This is possibly one of Charles Bronson's best cinematic performances with the exception of a few of his other films. Albeit the story is a little corny and there seems to be a lot of action going on all the time (which is O.K. with me) this movie really spoke volumes to me. Learning that this film is based on an incid... | 1pos |
'Fearless Freaks' is an excellent documentary that's sure to please longtime fans like myself as well as newer fans, and will probably win them a fair batch of new followers. As 'Watch me Jumpstart' does with Robert Pollard of Guided by Voices, it paints an intimate portrait of head Lip Wayne Coyne as a family man and ... | 1pos |
This movie gave me some hearty belly laughs when I saw it on cable recently. A must see for all those connoisseurs of cinematic sludge. It has awful dialogue and atrocious acting(that's just for starters.) One of the best "huh?" movies of the eighties. | 1pos |
There is a scene early on in "Jury Duty" when Pauly Shore stands on a bus and imitates a town tour guide. It is obvious that this scene was written to showcase Pauly Shore's comedic talents, however, he makes noises and is loud and generally obnoxious and unfunny. <br /><br />"Jury Duty" is the point where Pauly Shore ... | 0neg |
SPOILERS AHEAD:<br /><br />There are so many loose ends in this movie. If the Ice Man really did come from a much earlier civilization, what happened to all those buildings in that civilization? Why is that man the only proof of the civilization?<br /><br />And about Andy? At first, Jack is angry about him receiving th... | 0neg |
Really dreadful piece of schlock. I can only imagine that the author of the book it was based on was disappointed (or was handsomely paid) for the rights.<br /><br />I can't complain about the acting, such as it is. It features a good cast but there's not much they can do with what they're given.<br /><br />I have neve... | 0neg |
This is truly one of the funniest movies, I've seen. I used to watch it several times a week. I highly recommend this one if you like offbeat comedies. One of the funniest things was something I didn't even notice the first three times I saw it...What you ask? The names of the main characters...Burt and Ernie. That's r... | 1pos |
If you've seen the classic Roger Corman version starring Vincent Price it's hard to put it out of your head, but you probably should do because this one is totally different. Subtlety has been abandoned in favour of gross-out horror - nudity, gore and all-round unpleasantness. OK it's ridiculous, trashy, sensationalise... | 1pos |
There are some movies that try so hard to hit a certain target that they miss by a mile. This movie is one of them. It tries so hard to be a martial arts epic that it kills itself in the praxes.<br /><br />The basic plot of the film is that anyone who would marry Princess Ukyo would rule the world. She is already marri... | 0neg |
There have been many films made dealing with an individual who's outer appearance is completely at odds with their inner character. Some of these films are quite good but this is by far and away the very best. This is probably one of the most perfect films ever made. It succeeds on every level. Visually it transports o... | 1pos |
We took our 6 year old boy to see Dinosaur this weekend, but I think my wife and I were even more amazed than he at the MARVELOUS imagery in the film.<br /><br />I saw every penny of the $200 Million it cost to produce this film ON SCREEN. The sheer beauty of the water glistening off the wet dinosaurs was enough to mak... | 1pos |
I must admit, whoever advertised this movie is a genius. I would have NEVER seen this movie if i knew it was about a crocodile. I thought it was going to be a decent movie about a serial killer, who is a person. That would have been interesting. It not only was completely boring, but the plot completely sucked. I was s... | 0neg |
I just rented this movie last weekend, and I can't understand why it only was NOMINATED for a Razzie. That's crap. This movie, by far, was one of the funniest movies I've seen, and it was well worth watching. Eugene Levy was great, Samuel L. Jackson was great, even Kathryn Greenwood, from "Whose Line is it Anyway?", pl... | 1pos |
I got this film yesterday and I absolutely loved it. It is very different from the other films and even the book but great animation and music made up for it by far. I especially loved the scenes with Frodo and Sam in orc clothes walking with the other orcs in mordor and also the fantasy dream scene with the smiling or... | 1pos |
I remember seeing this film when I was 13 or so. I enjoyed it then, and I still enjoy it today.<br /><br />The plot is simple. WHile doing a hijacking of their own company truck, the truck's driver is murdered. Little do they know that the murdered trucker has a brother who's a Chicago Police officer.<br /><br />The mu... | 1pos |
This movies was very compelling. It's one that sticks. The screenplay, camera-work & casting are all fantastic. I'm already looking forward to future work of Frank Cappello. This movie is up there with Memento, seriously. <br /><br />Be sure to check out some of the explanations of this movie on IMDb. It has more layer... | 1pos |
Lawrence Tibbett's penultimate film. Oscar-nominated star of early talkies and 30s films is almost forgotten now. Good little film with terrific cast. Virginia Bruce, Alice Brady, Cesar Romero, Jane Darwell, Jessie Ralph, George Marion, Luis Alberni, Walter Brennan, Thurston Hall, Etienne Girardot, Mary Gordon are all ... | 1pos |
I've grown up wanting to play other people... to slip into their lives and see how they're different-- and similar-- to myself. I didn't actually get involved in pen-and-paper RPG's until I graduated from college, and haven't found many computer or console games that have been of any interest to me...<br /><br />That i... | 1pos |
Just thought I'd add to some of the comments here, having seen "Erin Merryweather" in New York. This is an amazing film, beautifully paced and really quite spooky. The cast is top-notch (rare for an independent film with no big "stars"), particularly the two leads, Vigdis Anholt (who plays the title role) and David Mor... | 1pos |
Right, what to say about the "Drive in Massacre". Well, lets start with bad acting, on which we can go to poor direction and from that we can jump right to terrible soundtrack and we can even lace the whole thing with poorly done script. And that's what I can say about the movie.<br /><br />This is one of those b-films... | 0neg |
One of the talking heads featured in the film pretty much sum it up when he says: "The film really scared me....it was obvious that the people in the film were not trained actors." Amen to that, brother.<br /><br />I really don't like to rain on other people's parades, and if you enjoyed this movie then Go With God; I ... | 0neg |
Sometimes you just have to sit back and laugh at some of the dumbest things ever to grace a TV screen. 3 Ninjas: High noon at mega mountain equals that. Horrible acting, paired with unrealistic realism, Lines you'd hear hulk hogan say, and a hot chick who was once married to one of the greatest legends in acting, and y... | 0neg |
I base this review on the Complete Version. This is the first of the series I've played, except for a minimal portion of the second one. Thus, I cannot compare this to the earlier ones. I can, however, say that this is incredible, and has gotten me to look at the ones that came later in the franchise. It features six c... | 1pos |
I just saw this on HBO in the US tonight. this film grabs you and pulls you along. the cinematography is competent and in no way flashy. but you feel like you are there. you can really empathize with the main character Santiago. this film simply rings true in all its aspects. this is one of the best movies I have seen ... | 1pos |
Alright I heard something was going around claiming to be Cannibal Holocaust 2 and I found what I was looking for. Bruno Mattei known for many exploitation gems of low quality but high entertainment ( at least for this person) unleashes probably as good a cannibal movie you could put out today. Every trick is pulled ou... | 1pos |
The film that we see shows a great deal of disrespect to the real people portrayed, the graphic novel upon which it is apparently based and its authors, to history, and to the audience. The real inspector Abberline was not a drug addict, nor a psychic. Mary Kelly WAS murdered.<br /><br />These were real people to whom ... | 0neg |
This film was not made for Americans, or even with the thought of marketing outside the USA. Just like Hollywood remakes will redo a story for the US, this took a story written for Cairo and transplanted it to Mexico City without a trace of the original setting. It is framed and acted much like a stage play, and the fo... | 1pos |
i gained a copy of this months back and have to say that they did something wrong with this film. There is nothing special about it, its seems half ass way of producing it with the effects and location, gives the feeling they had £20 to play with and they seemed to have gained £19.99 back in change.<br /><br />the effe... | 0neg |
So what? Maybe we should come to the conclusion that he/she who teases evil is destined to be hit by it. But I don't like this film. I didn't like its joking evolution and disapprove the final, never-ending, gore scene where the young hypnotized girl's sufferance, a prologue to everybody else's, is depicted in a hard-h... | 0neg |
About the only enjoyment I got out of the first two-thirds of this movie came from the fact that I was a History Major in College. The scenery was interesting and so was the commentary from the mother to her daughter. But other than that you're just waiting and waiting for something to happen. The only excitement, othe... | 0neg |
As a fan of baseball and movies this has to be one of my favorites in both categories. Barry Pepper and Thomas Jane do a fantastic job in their roles as Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. Billy Crystal(not to my surprise)knew exactly what he was doing for the movie and made it to be the best baseball movie I've seen since ... | 1pos |
I saw this movie on cable today because there was nothing else on and actually enjoyed it. The promos did not make the movie seem interesting, nor did the reviews, which is why I was in no rush to see it. I found Hav Plenty to be a very entertaining and charming romantic comedy (I'm not sure if I would feel the same wa... | 1pos |
Excellent costumes, three times over. The story may be weak, but frankly, I didn't care, lush colors and beautiful women in beautiful apparels, - that was more than sufficient for me. Those who enjoyed Greenaway's experiments such as "The Baby of Mâcon" and "Prospero's Books", should enjoy "Tirante El Blanco" as well. ... | 1pos |
I'm a huge fan of z-grade horror flicks. I can definitely appreciate some pretty low budget trash. Ghost Lake, Aquanoids, Evil Cult, The Day The Darkened Arise--that's some quality bad cinema. Dark Fields falls into the category of sub-bad cinema. This movie is so bad (and in a totally unwatchable way) that I won't let... | 0neg |
If you are looking for your typical shoot 'em up war movie then move on to something else.<br /><br />This movie shows what real courage is, and REAL COURAGE isn't always what you think it will be.<br /><br />I thought one of the most poignant statements in the movie is "the ultimate destination of hate is self-hate." ... | 1pos |
My friend and i went to see "Angel Eyes" last night, at my insistence - we were the only people in the theater!!

I cant believe the director let this happen - in nearly every indoor shot a green a... | 0neg |
I saw this film with a group of four and, when it ended, we were all amazed with our patience to sit through two hours of directorial aimlessness, character superficiality and degenerating dialogue, giving the director the benefit of our doubts.
