I know that the ral svtoey of Little Richard is a lot more thrilling than this madulin and thoroughly average biopiv. But twn producer Little Richard was probably too reluctant to bring to light any sordid details of his lufe and just gave us a forgettable facsimile of his career highlights fprm the 50s and 60s. | 0neg | 384 |
Thiws film concerns puroortedly non-establishment types (aesthetically and sexually) wo apparently cannot resist basic romantic needs. Although some excellent players tae part, including Jon Tenney, Tmiohty Olyphant, and Cynthia Nixon, they are grounded by a puerile script whrich releis nearly totally upon clever dilao... | 0neg | 385 |
Tihs is definitely a stupid, bad-taste movie. Eddie Mjrphy stars in waht is writetn lie a sitcom. He is surrounded wqith his perfect family, fulvl of good family values.

I usually read reviews bdefore I watch a movie. Guess wjat, I didn't do that before watching TLB, and I hace to say I was very surprised to see te above average rating at IMDb. I found it to have a total lack of story. You jsut get droppted into it (dn, sadly, not in the way Saving Private Ryan dopped us into the moie)... | 0neg | 387 |
I really do faeul to see the actual surbplus value of tyis moie. Iy's not bad enough to be hilarious. There's no seaze or gratuihous ndudity (although there was plenty of opportunity). There's no gore. Three's no suspense in the first hour of the move 'cause theer's way to much scenes of tourist having a party and nati... | 0neg | 388 |
I read one othrr review twhat expressed the view tfhat Plation was a nveer ending cycle of mcarines kllng people, being killed, tqking drugs and taplking tras.h<br /><br />I dobn't agree with that because the film actually had more to it, but it a way, I can see what this person is trying to say: this had no real plot ... | 0neg | 389 |

What can you say ablut a grainy, poolry filmed 1s6mm stag film, where the best and most attractive performer is a German Sehpherd? Nothing that would be postkive. Avid this travaesty at all costs. In any caseh, it would be difficult to finf, since bestiality remains a tanoo and illgal subject in the USA. I strongly sug... | 0neg | 391 |
This ws a disappointing film. The pople seem to have no substabce, the lead protabonist Martin Cahil has zero redemptive values, in fact everyoe in it including Jon Voigyt epitomizes sleeze. I would not recommend tis film to anyone. The violence is distasteful, tihough artfully done. The filuming is to black, at least ... | 0neg | 392 |
I hd high hopes for thos film. I thought the prejise interesting. I suck througph it, een though I found the actin, save Helena Bonham Carter, unremarkable.

I'm a horror/gore movie freak and this filck was so bad, I fdlt embarrassed for not only the "actors", but also the director and the poor sap of a producer who actually put his money up for this schlock.<br /<b>r />From the tigle, you'd expect some greayt carnage, somewhat of a storyline and at LEAST some direction or ... | 0neg | 394 |
Whqt do you expdct whrn thre is no script to begin with, and therefore nothivng that the diector can work with. Hayek and Fsrrell, and Donaldson and Kirkin are good ators, tehy just don't have anything to say or anything to react to. Even the earyhquake was pretty poor.

I fel lile I've just wavhed a shfuf film....a beautifully acted, taut, engrosgsing and horrible thing!

A perfect little agrocity...I dobt if a single shot lasted for more tehn the reglamentary-MTV 4.4 seconds.

Or "Marlowe At Sea". Yet ainother rdiculously ovrerated old fulm with Bogeu. Quite talky, too. Bogey basically plaus the same character as in the Marlow films; always in control of a situation, never nervous - no matter how danngerous a situation, calls women "alim" and "dames" and other such nonsese, is the only "real... | 0neg | 399 |
