If you like stupid this film is for you
This film has so many spots that do not make sense . It has so many characters jumping back and forth to different sides that it was unbelievable . Lewis stoled the show . He was the only watchable element in this film . Di Caprio did his usual C acting . I do not know why this guy got into acting ; maybe he's related ...

Good acting , but weak script
The acting in this film is great , and the casting is excellent . Al gets better with every movie , but has nothing to work with here . This is one of those the 70's the system is bad movies , that makes no sence . To unbelievable would anyone act like this . Well , I work at the Post Office , and it flake central , an...

Not that great !
Gut feeling tells me that they left some of the truth out of this story ! They made the killer look nicer , and less crazy than real life . Who can say what makes one do these horrible deeds . Genes or environment whatever . I am sure there is a point where people snap in life . I found some of the film interesting , b...

Burts last big movie and I can see why ?
The beginning of this movie is great , and the last quarter that starts with the part where Sharky gets his thumb cut off is exciting . The middle is awful . Could it be script or director problem , I can not answer this . The film is destroyed with the middle , too slow for what should be a fast movie . It should have...

Doesn't age well
Warning spoiler sort of This film probably was exciting , and fresh for its time . I finally rented it because its the original , and sequels most of the time become so watered down , why make them . This film does not age well ; like most action films it follows a formula of building up tension , knife in the head eff...

Done on a higher budget than Dr No
This film is done on a higher budget than Dr No , but did not have the blank check as the future Bond films received . It's a bit dated , and introduces characters for future Bond films . It introduces the Bond gagets , but they are lame compared to the newer films . The beginning is excellent , but like in a lot of ol...

Not bad but not good
This film is on A & E all the time . While having the flu and not able to sleep late one night I finally watched it . Not a bad performance by Frank , but a weak story .

Not as good as the second movie
This film is okay , but the more I watch it the less I like it . The film does not age that well . This film must have been a real shocker in 79 , but very average in 02 . I guess the build up from Aliens 2 gives this film a big let down . A creature runs around the ship , and we have a bunch of hack and slash . It is ...

This film has a great story , but the budget , acting , and music are awful . The screen writer wrote some extremely lame dialog , one will laugh at it . The strong point , I like the story . The story keeps the viewer watching , but can not save this film .

Demented humor is either good or bad .
Humor is hard to do . Humor is much harder to preform than horror or action . Try telling a joke , performing a comic routine , or writing a comical script is a difficult task . Even harder is telling a off color or insulting joke . There is a fine line between humor and bad taste . Demented humor can easily make one l...

believable
This movie is very believable . It would not surprise me to find out this actually happened . It seemed a lot of films from Britain are done on a lower budget . The film dragged in spots because of the budget . I found the ending anti climatic . It was interesting in spots but overall it is a forgettable movie .

This film is a good film but done by the numbers and that is why the Western died out . Kenndy plays a great bad guy , but this film is dated . I wish they changed the script a bit . Cool gun fight . Could have used another rewrite !

This film has some good , and some bad . Parts work , and other stink ; this film is a 5 , not that bad , but not that good either . It is watchable , but I would not miss the bar on a Saturday night to see this . A young Stallone , and the Fonz in this film makes it a curiosity .

Like all the other disaster movies . Nothing special in this one . Dated , and gets across as a movie that doesn't age well .

I like Chuck Noris , and when I was sixteen I really liked this film . As I got older this film does not age well , it gets cornballish . There is a few good fight scenes , and I like the prowler . It is not a bad film , but not a good one either .

Not a great movie , but better than other films . The Soldier is about the cold war between the Soviets and Ameriacans . This movie is similar to James Bond but is more violent than the Bond films .

This is another boring film done by Rutger Huger . His career has been on the down slide for many years . I think he should just call it quits . He played a good weirdo but the story was lacking .

I saw this film , when I was 12 , with my dad . Not a bad movie , but when I saw it earlier I thought it was good , but my recent viewing of this film I find it cheesy . The beginning is ok , but the rest gets a little unbelievable . My dad read the book , and said this movie is far off from the the truth . In the end ...

Well OK
I watched about 2 or 3 shows and a few bits and pieces of other shows . As the rappers say don't believe the hype . Funny in spots , and the acting is OK . The show loses my attention span very quickly . I find the show a little too close for real life . Sex in the city make this viewer happy he is married . The moral ...

Not as good as the Original
I found the story in Death Wish 2 to simular to the original . Maybe , if I saw 2 first I would give it a higher rating . This film is brutal , but crime is brutal ; I think the director did this , as in the original , not as a selling point but too show the brutality of crime on the victim , and the remorselessness of...

Artsy
The Reader is an artsy film . This movie is not for kids . The Reader is a very sexually charged movie . A young boy loses his youth to an older manipulative woman . The affair causes the protagonist pain with his future relationships . The woman is a Nazi with a sordid past , which comes full circle with the story . T...

Low low low budget
Except for John , and Vin this would have been another low budget movie in the 99 cent rental bin . John does a great role here , and Vin's plan of beating the toughfest guy in town is the only believable part in this film . However , thoes 2 actors could not save this film . Watch on 99 cent Wednesday at your local vi...

This film is a double edge sword
This film makes fun of fat people , but has message that beauty is skin deep . How complex , but laughable . The wiskey I drank give me the feeling , that all of us laugh with our dark natures at our own or someone else expences . Be it physical humor , racial humor , persons with bad luck , or event at with a violent ...

Better than the other two .
One of my few day shifts at the post office , so I was able to go ! The theater was right across from the plant and I met my buddy , Danny , who got free promo tickets for opening night or my buddy Dave won them but could not show . I can not remember , but I think it is the latter . It was exciting going to a premier ...

Just Ok
One reviewer calls this movie sick , but I guess my years at the post office has twisted my mind , that nothing affects it anymore . I can relate to the Sinban character , the job can drive you drink . A lot of the people there behave off centre . The movie lags in spots , but is entertaining . It is a family movie , l...

Predictable
Ever watched a movie where you figured out the ending at the beginning ? This film is it . Everyone knows the Clingons were the Soviets , and the Federation was the Americans . With the end of the Cold War they decided to end the Trek War , where the walls came tumbling down . The big surprise twist at the end has no s...

Run of the mill action thriller .
Run of the mill action thriller . I did not mind Eagle Eye , however I found the movie predictable . Parts of the movie were great other parts were lame . The movie has the Hall 2000 computer problem . One has to see the movie 2001 to see the connection . When I saw the ending , I thought you had to be joking . Lame ! ...

Not bad for direct to video .
This film is one of those direct to video movie . They get a middle weight name like Tom , and try to sell it using his name . Well this isn't that bad like most direct of video movie , actual it's ok . Tom is a good actor , and the script is ok . It's not a high budget , and they got a scene that looks like one of tho...

Bust of the Summer
Bust of the summer . Not a bad movie . Dark water's story drags , and not in a slow burn way , but in a bad movie way . Not scary , unless one finds a slow pace scary . The director still manages to keep the viewer interested in the story . I do not know if the story was lost in translation of the book to film , but th...

Average
I expected Gabrial Byne to play a much better role than this . He was excellent in the End of Days . The beginning reminded me of a college movie than ship hands . It was a bit PCish too . It finally picked up on the boat . There was some scary scenes . It had a predictable ending . The leading lady should of stayed on...

Not a bad TV movie , but still a TV movie .
I wonder how close the movie portrays reality . Did his wife have the influence this move enacts ? Was he a hot head ? The people were right about him marrying a loyalist , and the governor of Pen did the Job that was required , or this great nation and the republic it stands for would not exist today . Well acted and ...

Not a bad movie
Watching the preview I did not know if I wanted to see this movie . After listening to much whining at work , leaving early on a Friday , my wife and I caught the late show . Not bad , the beginning is strong , and the middle is funny . The last quarter fades , and the film's direction is fantasy oriented . Probably a ...

I remember this one when I was 11
I remember this one when I was 11 . Not bad , they never explain how Mars becomes livable . I like the only 2 people left part . The part where the aliens use mind type thingies . Is it been on TV lately ? I wonder how well it aged ? A little too long if I remember right . They use too make better science fiction . Too...

Not a bad show
Not a bad show , watched as a child in the 70's , and saw it again on A & E years later . Some of the shows became corny , but others aged very well . Written from real stories , which is much better than what the networks do today . Kurt Russel is in a few of them . . If anyone complains of TV violence today they shou...

Comedy is hard to do !
Comedy is the hardest script to write . How can you make a film continious funny . Action paced is easy , but jokes tend to fall flat . Candy raise this film too a , but the script lags in places . It is not a bad comedy , but is no Home Alone either .

Worth watching
This is not a great movie , and will age badly ; I liked this movie ; it makes me laugh , but it is done cheesy in a 70's way . Michael Douglas is a great actor and saved this film . The other lead should not quit his day job . The restaurant scene is great , especially the part where he describes his copier business ....

Not bad
I like history movies , so I like this one . Nice change for Van Damm he plays a different role . The film is interesting to follow . We have the reasons why people joined , and the harshness of being one . A solid 6 , and I would watch this film when they show it on TBS .

Rambo before its time
This film has more action in it than a Stalone flick . For a 60's film wow . It has all the World War 2 stuff in it . Nazi's , the warning buzzards , and a castle . Kind of like Wolfenstien the video game . Enertaining film , but not a classic . A bit dated , but stunts , film quality etc gets better with time . Good l...

The Rock Is Not An Actor
My wife , friend Dan and I saw the movie . We all liked the Mummy series . We all discussed it and found the movie okay . However , it does not have the strong acting like the Mummy . The movie tried to be a cross between the movies Conan and the Mummy . I expected a bit more from the action scenes . The ending was the...

Big hat no cattle
Spoiler ! ! ! This film is all sizzle and no steak . I watched the preview and expected more . No bigtime special effects ; UFO'S burning things , people melting , etc . This film is done on a low budget , like the writer's other film Unbreakable . The writer has some weak dialogs ( ie the army guy ) but the majority o...

Not as good as we own the night
The comeback of 70's style movies is in full swing . Maybe 3-D movies will be next . I like the sound track , feel , and pace of the movie . Washington is a OK actor , and the rest of the cast is good . Crowe plays a strong role , but the script seem to typecast Crowe into a flat character . The script is strong , and ...

Not a bad movie .
Not a bad movie , but I have to watch it another time . I thinks a second viewing will give me a better opinion . The story is a bit weak but Mat is a good actor and makes the film better . Mike D as uncle Wayne adds much comic relief . We see that Uncle Wayne should have never brought up kids , and this is the thesis ...

ok movie
This movie is ok , it had a high budget , and interesting characters . Except for Ed Harris the movie's line up is full of no name actors , with no name performances . I hate it when a movie is filmed ie like this one where it is suppose to be in Russia , and everyone has a British accent . At least Ed Harris , gave an...

Not a bad movie , but average . The story is not that bad , but far fetched , and done like a Diehard film . They got too do something new with this series . One do all the Bond films need a count down in them ? Do the vilians all ways never make sure Bond is dead ? Does everything have to explode in these films ? Its ...

I don't mind the show
I do not mind the show . A left wing slant , but not a overly left view . I only watch Nightline when they have an interesting guest or investigation . Nightline is mostly a run of the mill news show . The usual panel discussion , special guests , and the commentators own summary of the news topic . The special investi...

Good film , but it dies in the ending
Most College movies can be described as lame or stupid . This is one of the few that stays out of these two categories . This film starts out stong , and for the 90's I give credit for handling real life taboos of drugs , drinking , student radicals , and eating meat . Crap goes on all the time , but when I was in Univ...
