... and the series lets you forget all that. I am about three years older than the kids portrayed in the series.

Excellent P.O.W. adventure, adapted by Eric Williams from his own book (a paperback copy of which forms part of my father's library) that was inspired by true events; it may well be the first film of its kind and, therefore, has a lot to answer for not just similarly stiff-upper-lipped examples such as ALBERT, R.N.

Whenever I see most reviews it's called 'a misfire for Eddie Murphy'. These critics want to take a look at some of the stuff he's doing these days, and maybe soften their stance in retrospect...

I enjoyed this movie. Haven't seen Andy Griffith in ages and felt he fit this role perfectly.

I really enjoyed this movie. The humor was a bit absent at times but I enjoyed how the story moved between dramatic and serious throughout the film.

I've read many negative reviews of this movie and finally got a chance to see it on DVD.

Yes, this is an ultra-low budget movie. So the acting isn't award winning material and at times the action is slow-paced because the filmmakers are shooting longer sequences and not a million instants that then get edited into a movie. This film makes up for that with an outstanding script that takes vampirism seriousl... | Positive | null | null |
This is a fine drama and a nice change of pace from today's more hectic and loud films. It is another solid based-on-a-true store, which still means much of it could be made up for dramatic purposes.

This movie has it all. It is a classic depiction of the events that surrounded the migration of thousands of Cuban refugees.

It shows how a young gay... | Positive | null | null |
The film maybe goes a little far, but if you love the show it's what you expect. It's not a bad movie; it's actually pretty good. If you don't like the show, don't see the movie.

To those who say that this movie deserves anything below the unflaunting grace that it showed, I disagree.

What can be said, really... "The Tenant" is a first-class thriller wrought with equal amounts of suspense and full-blown paranoia. It's an intricately-plotted film--every detail seems included for a reason--even though the plot seldom makes sense, and much of it is never even addressed in an objective manner. Therefore... | Positive | null | null |

This was probably one of the most well-made films of the 40's - Warner Bros. at the very height of their style.

This is easily the most underrated film inn the Brooks cannon. Sure, its flawed.
