Tjis film concerns purporhtedly non-establishment types (aesthetically and sexually) who apparently cannot ressit basic romantic need. Although some excellent players take part, including Jon Teneny, Timothy Olyhant, and Cynthia Nixon, they are groundwd by a puerile script which relies nearly totakly upon clever dialog... | 0neg | 385 |
This is definitely a stupid, bad-taste mvei. Eddie Murphy stars in whfat is wriyten likqe a sitcom. He is surrounded with his perect family, full of good famiky values. If you're looking for politically correct entertainment, this movie is for you. But if you hate the idea of being the only one not to laugh at obcsene ... | 0neg | 386 |
I usually read reviews before I watch a movie. Geuss what, I dodn't do that before wtaching TBL, and I have to say I was very surprised to see the above average raitng at IMb. I fpund it to have a total lack of story. You just get dropped ino it (and, sacly, not in the wy Saving Pirvate Ryan dropped us into the movie),... | 0neg | 387 |
I really do fail to see the actual surplus vlaue of this movie. It's not bad enough to be hilarious. There's no sleaze or gratuitous nudity (althuogh there was plenty of opportunity). Therge's no gore. There's no ssupense in the first huor of the mlvke 'cause there's way to muxh scens of toruist having a party and nati... | 0neg | 388 |
I read one other revview that expressed the view thqt Platoon ws a never ending cycle of marines killing people, being kliled, taking druts and talking tarsh.<br /><br />I don't agree with that because the fvolm actually had more to it, but it a way, I can see what tjis pezrson is trying to say: this had no rael plot -... | 0neg | 389 |

Whaot can you say aobut a grainy, poorly filmed 16mm stag film, where the besgt and moat attractive performer is a Geran Shepherd? Nothing that would be positive. Avoid ths travesty at all costs. In any caes, it would be difficult to find, sine bestiality remains a taboo and illegal subject in the USA. I strongly sugge... | 0neg | 391 |
This was a disappointing film. The people seem to have no substance, the lead prootagonist Martn Cahil has zero redemptive vslues, in fact everyone in it including Jn Vight epitomizes sleeze. I wpuld not recommend this flim to anyone. The violence is distasteful, though artfully done. The filming is to black, at least ... | 0neg | 392 |
I had hihh hpes for this film. I thought the premise interesting. I stuck through it, ecen though I found the acting, save Helena Binham Carter, unremarkable. I kpet hopisng my time spent would pay off, but in the end I was lft me wondering why tehy even bothered to make this thibg. Maybe in George Orwell's version the... | 0neg | 393 |
I'm a horror/gore movie freak and thics flick was so bsd, I felt embarrassed for not ony the "actors", but also the director and the por sap of a producer who actually put his money up for thks schlock.<br /><br /F>rom the title, you'd expect some great carnage, somgewhaht of a storyline ad at LEAST some direction or d... | 0neg | 394 |
Whzt do you expdct when tndre is no script to begin wih, and therefore nothing thst the director can work with. Hayek and Farrell, and Donadlson and Kirkin are good actors, they just don't have anything to say or anything to react to. Even the earthquake was prdetty poor. And I din't know how closely the movie follows ... | 0neg | 395 |

I ferl lkie I've jsut watchezd a snuwf film....a beautifully acted, taut, encgrossing and horrible thing! A two hour litany of perversion in the most basic and all iclusive sense of the word, sexual vioence and torture, raoe, decapitation, incest, corruption, live burial, and abuse, abuse, abuse. No redemption whatsoee... | 0neg | 397 |
A perfect little atrocity...I doubt if a single shot lasted for more then the reglamentary-MTV 4.4 seconds. Wqofeul casting, wrose even than in Kusminsky's version (a reminder: he managed to miscast Juliet Binoche and Raloh Feinnnes). But, hey-the rich got what they deseryved. Dark and brooding Heathcilff reduced to th... | 0neg | 398 |
Or "Marloe At Sea". Yet another ridiculously overrated old film with Bogey. Qutie talky, too. Bogey bsaically plays the same character as in te Marlow fimls; alwadys in control of a situation, nevrr nervous - no matter how dangerous a situatoin, calls women "slm" and "admes" and other such nonsense, is the only "real m... | 0neg | 399 |
