402,772 | 453,228 | 93,409 | 6 | Average action film , very Hollywood . | Well , I remember more about what happened after this movie than about it . My friend had a bad incident with me after the film , and I believe this soured my view of this film . A very bad year ; don't let others choose your high school for you . That is besides the point , but on second viewing , years later , I still found the movie disappointing . The beginning is exciting , and Gary Busey's role is excellent with the cig lighter ; sort of a copy of Miami Vice with : buddies who don't like each other at first , black / white , machine guns , drugs , etc . Some of the other did this done that before ideas where , the old Nam team , car chases , the Dirty Harry jumper stunt , and the Rockford type of trailer Gibson lives in . It is still entertaining enough to watch , but I could never understand how this film brought on three or four sequels to it . |
402,948 | 453,228 | 189,246 | 6 | leans towards the left | I found CBS news leans towards the left . The news is a bit better than the other 3 networks . I find Rather entertaining . I love Rather's presidential election spin comments . News is much more responsible these days for we have many more news outlets , which create counter ideas and keeps the broadcasters honest . The old days the media could get away with more . Free radio , and the internet has change the media . Rather left with the 60 min's story , which will hurt him . I think he still will be remembered as a decent newsman . Rather personally felt pain over the Regan shooting and showed a side we do not see today . . |
402,901 | 453,228 | 97,742 | 6 | Thankful , Dalton's last Bond film | This movie is James Bond meets Miami vice , how 80's . It is not the worst story , but gets unbelievable during the last quarter . Dalton improves as Bond , but still makes this film humorless , and has no charm with the ladies . Great stunts , especially the water skiing scene , but Dalton kills this film . Worth watching late night , over the ab tonner commercials . |
402,344 | 453,228 | 83,943 | 6 | Good film , but it drags . | What I like about this film is how gloomy the Soviet Unions looks ; one gets a feel of what total government control is like in a police state , well done . There is tention in this film , but it drags . Just get on the plane all ready ! What disappoints me , is the climax . Eastwood steals this super secret plane , in the heavily over armed Soviet Union , and he only runs into a couple of planes . Boring ! There should have been more action , and by the conclusion you start to wish something would happen . |
402,621 | 453,228 | 80,120 | 6 | Entertaining but I give it a six | This film is entertaining , but lags in parts , and is a bit stupid . The action scenes are incredible , and some of the dialog is entertaining , but there is some boring stretches in this one . The best part in the movie is when Cyres gets shot , he was so annoying ( can you dig it ) I could see the motive behind the shooting . My friend Tony cheered at that scene , anyways this movie is not to be taken seriously it is sorta comic book style . When the subway caught fire and they did not get home I would of called a cab , but then we would have one very boring movie . They got to fight there way back with these comic book dressed type gangs , one of the gangs look like a cross between alternative music Nervana and farmers . The bad guys in this film did a very entertaining job and I was sorta rooting for them . If you like foolish movies ie Repo Man rent this one . |
403,107 | 453,228 | 100,994 | 6 | Better than the first | This film is an improvement over the first . The acting improves , and William Peterson shines in his role . The writing , and directing remains average . Nothing stands out special in this film , and I would rent it on a 99 cent day , at your local video store . . |
403,094 | 453,228 | 120,804 | 6 | Knock off of Dawn of the Dead ! | Spoiler Zombie movies , what can one say , I can only describe them as zombie movies . It begain ok , but the special forces actors where too much . When one acts too over macho one looks like a wantabe . The million dollar question is if the virius only effects the dead why did the computer kill everyone . I keeped asking myself that question through out the movie ! The films ending is interesting , but why do the zombie's always take over the earth . Worth renting |
403,358 | 453,228 | 87,803 | 6 | Well made movie , but not for entertainment ! | Well made movie , that has a message ; not an entertaining message , but one of bleakness . I have to read nine books for my college lit course , and this is movie 3 . Much better than the ' The Others ' but less entertaining than ' Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead ' . What I like is the portrayal of a repressive government , and how a government lies can be truth if that is how they become perceived . How much does the media , and government manipulate the truth is what I gain from this film . Being a literature classic some of the film is dry , and complex . I believe this film is a crisism of communism and the super state . Where the elimination of the family , and all other loyalties must be repressed . In the end , whenever I hear something is for the greater good watch out . |
402,365 | 453,228 | 134,618 | 6 | goofy but watchable | This film entertains , but it is run of the mill . Would I buy the film no , watch it on tv yes . I do not mind it , but the writing is goofy . In conclusion , the jury says goofy but watchable It will be on tv again . |
402,543 | 453,228 | 285,823 | 6 | Average action film | Average action film . Some very good scenes with Johny Depp , and a lot of symbolism . The director must love Mexico ; he sells the country well . There is some memorable material , but and there is one that I have seen a lot of the material before . I've seen one too many action films ; they need to reinvent themselves . I give this a . |
402,986 | 453,228 | 89,604 | 6 | Rent this one first | Rent this one first or it will ruin part one . This film is where I waste a Saturday drinking beer eating chips and watching this on TBS . Well it will at least relax me . That is what escapism is about . Spoiler Super macho Chuck is a POW of 15 year , or what ever time , and is treated cruelly . The rat in the bag seen is pretty good . Anyways he gets out , and its his turn . |
402,872 | 453,228 | 246,464 | 6 | Lower more PC version of Snatch or Pulp Fiction . | This movie pales in comparison to the two others I mentioned . It is an average film , with some bright moments . Would I buy it no , would I watch it on TV no , was it a bad movie no . This film I probably will forget about it in a few years , but its was worth renting , and better than the alternative of late night television . I would give it a C or in marks . Tim Allen won't jump form TV to movies with this film . |
402,805 | 453,228 | 264,616 | 6 | Disturbing | This movie tries to be like Mothman , and fails . It's a low budget film , which is sick , but I have been so twisted over the years I warn you it takes a lot to bother me , and slowly drags out to its conclusion . It is well directed , and portrays a X files style . The bad part is how thine the story is . We do not understand why this is done . If and who is evil , and why it needs to be stopped . We can not understand what is good and why , and how what appears good is bad . This film lacks sense . In the end it is too smart , and makes it self look stupid and sick . |
402,565 | 453,228 | 1,047,035 | 6 | Good episode | A good episode , but not the greatest . I wish there was a little less drag time with the show . The Jenn and Rallings people were at it again . I feel this is going to be one of those right-wing conspires plots . I find that a little too politically correct . Easy plot device to blame people in suits . I could be wrong and the show has me in for a loop . I hate predictable TV . The end of the show hit me for a loop . Wow unpredictable . Like Supernatural the show changes cast quick enough which keeps the story fresh . I wonder what Beck will do with the new information ? . My wife thinks the Ravenwood bad guy plays a good antagonist . |
402,652 | 453,228 | 1,047,034 | 6 | Filler episode . | I like Jericho , and all the shows are entertaining . However , some episodes are filler for the series . Why would G & R not want the town vaccinated ? I believe the producer of Jericho is creating a build up for how evil G and R is . A sick town would be a drain on the new government . The J & R episode is a character development episode . Jake is becoming more of a hero as the show progresses . I wonder how Beck will play into the storyline ? Beck is tough and hard as nail , I bet he will be trouble . 7 or for the TV series . This episode , however , is a 6 . I did not mind it . Now onto the exciting conclusion . I bet there should be some new character added soon . |
403,333 | 453,228 | 120,737 | 6 | One long movie | Spoilers ! ! ! ! Well , I remember Mr Capatani used to read us the novels in grade 4 . He took Sean O'Conal , Mike Lazeruk , Bernie Pazaluko , my very good friend Tony Pietrafesa , and myself to the movie . It was a cartoon , I watched while eating Tony's popcorn , and we thought it was the greatest film since Star Wars . I loved these stories that were read in class , and looked forward to the movie . This type of film is usually not my thing . I was disappointed , not with the movie itself , or characters but the length . Many scenes should never left the cutting room floor , and the ending leaves you hanging . I wish they added more to the end , and some from the middle . Don't get me wrong , it is a good film , maybe my expectations were too high , they could have erased 45 minutes . |
403,262 | 453,228 | 299,283 | 6 | CBC's version of The Soprano's | I guess CBC is trying not to lose anymore viewers to HBO , and came up with this . Most of the budget is spent on the first episode , and the show hurts because of this . Watchable , decent budget , good acting , which is a big surprise for the CBC . Michael Ironside is a strong actor and it was nice to have a realistic watchable show on TV . I still can not believe I watch a CBC show , other than Hockey . Maybe , I will watch PBS next . Worth viewing . |
403,216 | 453,228 | 80,005 | 6 | Good show | I was in grade 4 at the time , but I remember a bit of this show . I used to laugh at it all the time . Kind of like the Rockford Files , with the Angel and Jim mix , but on every show . Show did not last long . I remember the one guy's car taken the abuse all the time . The other guy would con some poor person in thinking , ie Beverly Hills cops style that he was with some organization . Maybe , too ahead of its time . Would like to see it again to see if I grew out of it . Never on reruns . My Uncle and Dad loved the show . I guess it too short of a series to go on re-runs . ABC used to be a good network at one time . At least the low budget reality shows craze has left us . The budgets and quality will rise . Who wants to see someone order golf culbs by the phone . like on The Appentice . |
402,940 | 453,228 | 357,507 | 6 | Under rated | This movie is geared for a young audience . With the young audience in mind the movie makers left out much of the gore , and tension that a harder rating and smaller audience would bring . With the previous comment in mind one would rate the film in a PG 13 light instead of an R rating . Horror fans have change from my day in the 80's . No longer geekie guys , with there dads , and hard core horror fans with the glazed look . Mostly younger females , in the audience , with a few guy friends . A few of the older hard core horror fans . No " Dawn of the Dead " , but a script that follows hard and fast which follows the past sleep fear of the lead actor . The directing speeds up the pace once the movie develops a story and takes on a faster pace ; similar to the " Nightmare on Elm Street " films . A closet scene is done well . The movie could hit harder , but the Boggieman effects and directing keep the viewer from yawning . I would rent it again . . Notice the film makes the lead actor look like the killer if anyone investigated the people who disappeared |
403,187 | 453,228 | 87,717 | 6 | A bench mark for the 80's | This TV series is an icon for the 80's . Set , style , fashion , directing to new heights . Influenced my clothing style for about 3 years . The movie or pilot episode has some wrinkles , and drags in spots . It took the writers a few years to perfect the show . Watchable , if you watch today's TV friends or survivor , one would be amazed at the show budget . Boats , choppers , suits , $300 000 cars , big cast etc . Situation comedies about someone's midlife crisis , or who is going to get voted off the island for eating too much fish is boring ; tv sure went for the cheap . No directing , script , maybe two room sets . It is nice to watch on TNN , I give the movie |
403,362 | 453,228 | 301,470 | 6 | Fairly tense | The film was different from the first in that you were not watching the first film over ie . Men in Black 1st and 2nd . I missed the song in this film " Jeepers Creepers where did you get those peepers . " They did not have it in this sequel . No big name actors in this one . It was more like the older monster movies . The ending was different and left room for part three . They showed the best scenes on the trailer so it kind of ruined the film for me . 6 or |
402,726 | 453,228 | 790,686 | 6 | Good trailer , but a run of the mill movie . | Mirrors has a great trailer . However , the trailer is misleading ! Poor acting combined with poor directing and a bad script makes Mirrors a run of the mill movie . However , the movie is entertaining . I watched the movie for the conclusion and the ending has a big surprise . I hate part of the climax . I will not ruin the climax , but I though you got to be joking with the mirrors exploding . Maybe that is just me . broken mirrors for me . A forgettable movie rental . Go rent Ironman if your looking for entertainment . Not a good year for horror movies . Not many good one out there . More of a action year for movies . Did I write 10 lines yet . |
402,462 | 453,228 | 120,755 | 6 | 6 | It's ok , but you must like Woo's directing style to like this one . I gave it a 6 , no real surprises , by the number action film . Rent this one , it's nothing special . The casting could have been done better , but when a actor make like 12 million a movie it seems to hurt casting usually . If I watched it a couple more times I would like it more . |
402,895 | 453,228 | 86,006 | 6 | Not as bad as I heard it was | This film is supose to be so bad , I never rented it for years . I sure was wrong , I gave it a 6 , when I heard this movie was a 3 . James Bond comming out of traing to the live field is a ok concept . The film is on a lower budget , but they did well with what they have . This film shows how good of an actor Sean Connery is . Bronson with three time the budget never gets across in the mannor , or humor which Connery can . Connery makes this movie worth watching he adds so much to the scenes ; when he gets into a fight he gives it Bond magic . Connery delivers a one liner in a James Bond way . He maybe old , but there was still some gas in the tank . |
402,540 | 453,228 | 266,489 | 6 | Funny , but not a classic | Funny movie , but not a classic . This film takes time to build , it is a slow burn , and the humor builds as the film progresses . Worth going to the theater , and good rental when it hits video . It is hard to do comedy and I give Deveto credit for pulling this one off . This movie is done in true Deveto style . 6 . |
403,009 | 453,228 | 444,626 | 6 | Not bad . | I expected more for an A & E production , and I found the budget lacking . After watching other A & E productions , I found the producers cut a few corners with the high standards of previous A & E movies sets . Faith of my fathers has an excellent message about character , and going the extra mile . I find with my studies , work and my sick wife the movie is inspirational . It shames me into not feeling sorry for myself . The story is lacking in spots . I have never read the book , but I bet it is a long one . When you compress a long book into a hour and a half the viewer only gets a glimpse of the event . I love the part with grandpa and when John talks to his father and the reply is that John left nothing behind . God bless him and his character . I have no idea what I would do in such a situation . I give it a . The movie left me looking for more . I think I will read the book after finishing one of my majors . |
402,367 | 453,228 | 105,275 | 6 | Seen better and seen worse . | I rented this film to see Russell Crowe , and found this low budget film okay . Crowe doesn't steal the movie , and the film is strong in parts . After watching it , I found the film unrememberable , because it is neither great nor awful . |
403,287 | 453,228 | 120,681 | 6 | Definitely from hell | This film started out well , but continued to get unbelievable . Johnny Depp plays a good role considering the script . There is a hidden political message one will notice in this film . Some parts of this film do not make any sense , but I will not say for it will ruin the film . |
402,339 | 453,228 | 243,133 | 6 | Dark , gloomy , depressing film | Spoiler ! This movie shows a man who does not have much to work for in life . He is bored with his life . It was well directed . This movie reminds me of the little chances one has in life to do what one truly desires to do ; missed opportunities . This movie is like many peoples ' lives ; ie . they go to a job which they hate , but they go because they need a paycheck . One event leads to a tragic ending . |
403,101 | 453,228 | 116,277 | 6 | Not a bad film | Wesly Snipes usually ruins films with his 2 d acting , but this film he acts the role . De Niro is perfect as an Postal type salesman , who takes America's past time a little too far . I love the ending where the game becomes more than a game . Worth watching on TBS |
403,339 | 453,228 | 120,591 | 6 | A solid 6 | Spoiler This film is a solid six , not a little less or a little more . I know this is not a serious movie , but it is a bit lame . Steve , ( Mr Pink ) I can not spell his last name is great comic relief , especially with his space what ever you call it he got . Bruce Willis did his best considering the script . Anyway , if a meteor nearly miss the Earth it rips away the earths atmosphere , I know I am picky , but that is a technical glitch with the ending . The story drags in parts , but its not a bad second feature at the drive in . |
402,670 | 453,228 | 499,556 | 6 | Average action movie ! | This is your average action movie . Partner killed , everyone acts over macho etc . Jet-li did not get to use much of his fighting skills . A few good plot twists . War reminds me of the Hong Kong style action films , with some over the top gun and fight action . The story is compelling enough for the viewer to follow . However , ' War ' is another action films where one turns their brain off , and gets one's heart pumping . I have seen better action films . War is no Lethal Weapon . Wait for video . The car action is worth renting . The movie has a wow ending . . Rent ' Marked for Death ' or ' Blood Sport ' instead . When will Jet-li get a great role to play in ? |
402,683 | 453,228 | 93,638 | 6 | Great concept | This guy is before his time . The Russian mob must of seen this movie . Charlie Sheen is the scum bag in this movie . He does a great role . If you like cars then you will like this movie as it has a lot of different cars in it . This guy knew how to make money , but it catches up to him . |
403,012 | 453,228 | 63,350 | 6 | Look at the budget | Look at the budget , not a bad film . Not a bad film for the budget . Night of the living dead is done on a shoe string budget , and I mean cheap . The producers could help with the US budget ! Chilling but the acting is sort of Death Race 2000ish , awkward , but believable enough . Speaking of Death Race 2000 , I bought Night of the Living Dead and Death Race 2000 for 2 . 98 at Zellars for a cheap movie night last weekend . The DVD's were cheaper than renting at Rogers or Block Busters . Enough off topic review , the directing and story save the movie's short comings . The survival concept keeps the viewer interested . I noticed a few events I would have done different . Why would they turn all the house lights on , would that not attract more Zombies ? The windows get boarded up , but the kitchen window is left unboarded . The ending is effective , how the protagonist thought he survived . Well , you'll see if you watch this movie . A . Hey a lot of the new computer generated movies create inferior films . Not bad for cheap 2 for 1 dvds in the clearance bin . |
402,590 | 453,228 | 328,589 | 6 | My wife likes this one | Well , the story gets a bit much for myself , being socially conservative , but one could say I am guilty of watching American Pie , so call me guilty for watching my wife's movie , which is like a romance novel . Not a John Wayne or Sylvester Stalone film . Tuscan Sun is entertaining , my friend Tony has told and this film repeats the love of life Itialian culture embraces . I watched Tuscan at my uncle's shown on his new TV set , hey Sony makes great sets , and my wife found the movie interesting . Diane Lane plays a financially rich person who can throw caution to the wind , and goes on a crazy path . I get to see how one with money can live and think . Even Chuck Norris makes a guest appearance , No just joking . I give the film a . This movie reminds me of the Hilton sisters that they show the jet set life styles . |
402,778 | 453,228 | 351,977 | 6 | The Rock is getting better | Compared to the Scorpion King the Rocks acting is getting better . This is not the best film , but for action I would watch it again . The Rock from his wrestling days is a good physical actor , like Stallone , and Arnold . This is a must , not many people can do physical acting , and that is half of what makes a good action movie . That action film with the guy from Cruel Intentions shows how awful and action movie is with out good physical acting . That movie had 1 ) too little believability . 2 ) emotions of pain , physical stress do not look real 3 ) the action looks phony and out of place . If people think Stallone did not take some real punches for Rocky they would be mistaken , for Rocky would loose it realism with out physical realism . That part said , I find the story line good , but inferior to the original . I like true storys better than fiction . Bad events like this story shows really do happens ; I would bet this movie is going be on TBS ' Guy who like movies ' week . One thing I notice in this film is the Rock seems to have a real nice streak in him , I wonder if that is ture or more to do with the movie . 6 or depending if you seen the original Walking tall , for the film becomes more believable if you see the original . |
402,744 | 453,228 | 204,313 | 6 | Confusing | Spoilers This movie is confusing ! Why Africa , and not Iraq ! When did Sara change ? What was the deal with the kid ? Who was the French guy with all the money , and why did he send the Father there ? The movie was a mix of Raiders , the Mummy , and the original all in one . The film has it moments . Where ever evil is abound , evil will have its negative effect . What is the dig based on ? The movie builds up , but does not answer ! Entertaining in spots , and shows the specter of evil . . Maybe rent it . The acting , and directing is ok . did the movie build faith , because of evil , I found the story left this out . |
403,308 | 453,228 | 107,362 | 6 | Not as bad as people lable it | Spoiler The plot of this film is great satire of action films . It pokes fun at them , and has a twist in them which involves Arnold . They show the real Arnold as a showman , self absorbed , and his action character says ' he is an a hole . The bad guy tired of losing tries to kill the real Arnold , in order to win in the movie world . This film is about 5 years too late , it would have been great back in the 80's , however the crash , chase , gunfight , blowup , action film has been so overdone , it hurts this film out of repetition . Like an old joke where you know the punch line . I love the satire part of the film , where it pokes fun at itself . When action film go full circle this type of film will go back in style , but with new twists . The script itself is original , but they could have cut a few things out or poked more fun during the gunfights etc . This movie is a 6 or 7 . |
402,560 | 453,228 | 80,894 | 6 | Not bad for the Canadian Film board ! | Not bad for the Canadian film board ! Actually watchable , and not its usual politically correct attack on the Catholic Church . I remember watching this film with my future wife while on Christmass break during collegde . This film give the viewer the feel of what Notre Dame Sask school was like . How the tourch was passed , how the Priest tried too instill toughness for the people to survive the difficult time they faced in the 30's and 40's . 6 or . |
402,499 | 453,228 | 287,978 | 6 | Too many comic book movies out now | They had Spiderman , the Hulk and Daredevil . What is next ? There is nothing new to this type of movie . Super hero saves people . The only bright spot was Colin Farrell . Who is a good actor . I have not seen him in a bad performance yet or even pick a bad role for himself . Ben Affleck is not a great actor . I could do without seeing him in this role . At least J LO wasn't in the film . I think Val Kilmer could of done a much better job . |
403,228 | 453,228 | 449,088 | 6 | Still not enough Jack Sparrow | Still not enough Jack Sparrow . The last two films miss the leading protagonist charisma . If I watch the first film I see how Jack Sparrow carries the film . The conclusion is interesting . The movie deals with the second installment conflicts and provides the series a final resolution . The humor and special effect is their , but lacks heart . I think there was a need for new character to inject some humor ; a Jack Sparrow antagonist is a good idea . The movie could be scary for small kids like my sister in-laws five year old . The audience in Grand Forks during my hollidays gave the film mix reviews . I like the film . The movie would be a second feature at the drive inn . . Do not buy the film just rent it . Did I mention not enough Jack Sparrow ha ha . |
403,117 | 453,228 | 397,044 | 6 | I thought it would be a horror movie ? | My wife picked out the movies two days ago . I thought Blood and Chocolates would be a Horror movie ? I was wrong , I believe the movie is more female oriented . A soap opera meets ' Super Natural ' film . The acting and directing is excellently executed . However , I can not be to critical for I feel asleep for about 30 miniutes during the film . My wife enjoyed the movie , which I believe is ' The days of are live ' target market . Predictable and sappy , but OK . Not a Amittyville horror type film . . A good date trade off movie . One rents ' Die hard or live free ' and the other this film . I like the European settings . Wolves always look good on film . They needed Christopher Lee ! |
403,015 | 453,228 | 87,425 | 6 | Party Movie | This movie has its moments , and would be hard to make in the 90's with poltical correctness . It is a mix of locker room junior high antics , and stright out macho hot dog ski types . There is funny moments and the movie is choppy , but what do you expect for a 80'S party movie . I enjoyed it , but this movie is not for every one . I think every one knows a few people who behave like party animals , and if you don't like party animal types stay away from this one . |
403,005 | 453,228 | 332,047 | 6 | Not A Red Sox's fan | I think if one is not from the Boston Area one might miss the movie's theme . I visited my relatives in Ayar ( spelling ) Mass , and my cousins were huge fans of the Soxs . Being from Canada , I can only relate with my relative with Hockey , but the Jets left many moons ago to Phoenix ( sob ) . I know who Buckner is , but still miss the part with Sox's fever . My wife liked the romance part of the movie . The comedy is forced , and could use anothor rewrite . Too many comedies appear to be made on the quick . Not a bad second feature for the drive inn . Mr and Mrs Smith was the headliner . Rent it on cheap night . Mike gives Fever Pitch a . Mike's Boston Area family would probably give the movie a . I do not blame the fans for being so crazy if the team has not won since 1912 . |
403,338 | 453,228 | 119,942 | 6 | Not bad , not great | Hey is that the real Wil Clinton who did that movie review ? I tried to email , but there is no forward adress . That is besides the point , Primary Colors was not liked by the critics , I believe the media likes Clinton and viewed this as a swipe at him . If the media likes you they will help out , but if they hate you like , ie Dan Quale watch out it gets very relentless . In the end , I found the story silly , and entertaining ; what saves this film is the acting . Bill bob , and John's performances where exceptional ; John is the most charismatic actor in Hollywood , and his charisma makes him the idea politician . He shows the Hypocrisy of politicans , their self absorption , drive for power , and belief they can be above the law . Lie and hide their baggage , and expose others . The film is a 3 , but John turns it up to a 6 , my wife likes it more , but I find the tongue and cheek direction too much . This film hit a never with me , about the distrust of politicians , with their lawyer answers , flip flop on issues , and hidden agendas . This film reminds me of a Eastwood movie saying " Don't ps on my back and tell me its raining " . In this light , the satire plays well . |
402,307 | 453,228 | 109,450 | 6 | Not a bad film | My grandfather said he was the greatest baseball player ever . My grandfather came from the maritimes and I find their mannerisms quite similar to Southerners . This movie portrays Cobb as a great athlete but a lousy person . A guess sports has not changed much . This movie shows how diverse and complicated people can be . The movie shows the man's life and the fruits of his actions on and off the field . It was sort of a sad movie in the end . How one can waste so much . |
402,654 | 453,228 | 1,023,111 | 6 | not bad | My wife and my friends did not want to see this movie last Saturday , and I wanted too . So sad ! We saw a awful movie instead . On Sunday my wife and I went to the movie , and it was great . The movie had a great theme were one fights in order to have peace . The antagonist fought for the wrong reasons glory , and attention . The mix of mixed martial art , a love interest , and the kid who got over his anger is a great story . Never Back down also show why the characters act the way they do . I hope the antagonist learned some humility from his defeat . . Decent Karate movie . I love those movie and the crowd which attends them even more . . PS I will never grow up . |
402,952 | 453,228 | 435,705 | 6 | Not bad , but not good either | Not bad , but not good either , the movie Next is OK . The story maintains the audiences attention . OK acting , and directing , intertwined with a science fiction ( Minority report ) theme of changing future events . Cage's character is hard to catch for his psychic premonitions make anyone pursuing him two or three steps behind . A scare with a twist changing time ending was neat . I will not totally give away the ending . On a lighter side , Jessica looks totally different from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre . I did not know that it was her . I have a premonition Next is a five , no I see a seven . Just wait the movie is a . Good rental . |
402,648 | 453,228 | 804,522 | 6 | Not a bad movie . | Not a bad movie , but not a great one either . I think the movie might be based off what I read in the paper here in Canada . The story is about how torture creates more hatred . Questions US policy with the war on terror . I have mixed feeling . What do we do with terrorists ? Dealing with evil people always gets ugly . Well directed and acted . I wonder how close the movie is to real life . I wonders what was omitted ? What was added for dramatic effect ? a bit of a downer to watch ! stars . Film in a dark lighting to create the depressing mood . A very dark film . The acting is done more like a stage play than a movie . I like the full circle ending . I get the point . |
403,302 | 453,228 | 53,221 | 6 | all right | I watched with my late Grandfather and Grandmother . My Grand mother liked stumpie , and my wife hates him , and I did stumpie impersonations for a couple of years until my wife made me stop . You see Bart do them on the Simpons too . Temmue Salanis favorite Movie ! Anyways , to get on topic , this film is ok it has Dean Marten as a drunk , not much of a stretch with his drinking reputation , and stumpie . The film for its age is surprisenly watchable . The big ending shoot out is lame compared to todays big budget action films . Worth watching late night . Before Stalone there was John Wayne . |
403,058 | 453,228 | 228,333 | 6 | Good story , but everything else sucks | I liked the story for this film , but everything else sucks . The acting well Ice cube I do not know why he gets so many roles playing the tough guy , the model from Canada she can't play some one tough , it is almost laughable when she does this , and she can not fight very well either , the other 2 actresses from the prison guard film do some b acting . The only actor was the guy from Snatch who did an A acting job . I guess they had no budget for actors and you notice it . Some of the fight scenes look fake , and the only attribute for this film is the story , but the ending sucks . |
403,257 | 453,228 | 338,450 | 6 | Watchable | Tom makes this film , and it is a decent late night film that was intended to a b film , What surprised me was the budget , what the US dollar can get in Hugary . I mean they got tank , choppers , lots of troops , and a believable military actors . This is still a B movie , but watchable . PS they leave room for Sniper 3 with the ending . It was a power one . |
402,574 | 453,228 | 57,063 | 6 | My wife loved this show . | My wife loved this show . I always hated it . My wife thought the dolphin was cute . I just could not understand how the kid knew what the dolphin was saying . EEEEEEWha just sounded like gibberish . Anyways as a kid I liked police shows more . My wife is a animal lover . If you love animals then give this show a 9 . If you love police shows give this show a 3 . A is a good rating . Many people like the Flipper song . Was the show filmed in Florida ? My Cockatoo Teddy would like the Flipper noises . My bird probably could make those noises too . Maybe they will make a show about a Cockatoo next ? Who solves mysteries ? My wife would watch it ! |
402,502 | 453,228 | 338,459 | 6 | Not bad not good | This movie is not good or bad , but okay . I wanted to see a 3-D movie since the early 80's craze . My dad said we would go , and put it off and off until we checked the paper , and there were no 3-D movies left . I waited 20 years and when we were going to see it last Monday a transformer blew and the movie theater was closed . We drove across town , and it was too late the movie was on . The next day Tuesday we got in and finally the wait was over . Some of the 3-D effects were awful , and others were wow . In the end the 3-D was just okay . The video game story was okay , but I like video games , and Stallone played a good cameo . Go see it in the theater , 3-D is much better there than on the TV , I remember when I was a kid 7-11 sold the glasses for some cheesy 3-D ape movie and yuck . They also had a bud bowl in 3-D but the Canadian commercial content law blocked it out , those jerks . I always wondered what the commercial was like . I give this movie a . |
402,415 | 453,228 | 202,236 | 6 | Entertaining but loses the steam of the first film | Spoiler This film is worth watching . Some notable actors , but has beens , they do an A job . Does way better than most made for video shows , actual the only non HBO made for video show that I found well done considering the budget . Left Behind is not close in quality too this series , and I found the video strong threw out . They could of cut a bit out of the middle , and how could the house be the same after all those years . Other than that ok , this video is like an interesting TV show , I'll rent 3 and see how this continues . |
402,867 | 453,228 | 118,158 | 6 | Good movie but slow in spots | The film is entertaining , and the White squall part is excellent . However , the film is slow in spots , and drags it down from a 7 . Jeff Bridges is a good actor , and I like him in this film . The end the film is a bit of a downer , but where would the interest be if no tragedy occurred . Worth watching on TV . 6 or . |
402,414 | 453,228 | 378,194 | 6 | Best to rent Vol 1 and 2 and watch it together ! | Volume 2 like Volume 1 is lacking , and the story misses that special sauce . This movie in reality is 1 cut into 2 , thus watching 1 leaves the story lacking , and too silly , and watching 2 the movie is serious , but lacks depth , because the viewer loses continuity and background from the 1 . If I watch the 2 films together , the movie would be a 7 or 8 , but separate the viewer loses the film's rhythm , making the film awkward , giving the film a less deserving 6 . Kill Bill is outlandish and entertaining enough to compare with Dusk til Dawn . Rent the two films together and watch them one after the other so that the story makes sense . I would not have minded if the movie was long at the theatre , they could of just had an intermission . For example , Scarface and the Godfather had intermissions . I hope the studio did not cut this movie in 2 for revenue reasons . Imagine how awful the Godfather or Scarface movie experience would of been if the audience had to wait 3 months to see what happened after Sonny got killed or Tony got arrested for washing money . possible 7 or 8 if the 2 volumes were watched together . |
402,546 | 453,228 | 93,894 | 6 | This film is sappy | I liked this film the first time I saw it , but it gets more sappy every time I see it . Great concept , a game show that blow criminals away , but the story is weak . I like how it begins , and the way Arnold is caught . The sappy feel good ending , the 2 other prison breaker good guys , ( one looks like the guy from U2 ) how big of a jerk Richard Dawson ( much different from his Family Feud days ) and lines like stop trying to teach the kids about the constitution spoon feeds the audience in a simplistic way . Like Soil and Green this film dies with age , I give it a 6 . |
403,244 | 453,228 | 187,078 | 6 | too hollywood middle of the road | This is not a bad film , but it ends like most hollywood films end , and the car chases remind me of other car chases . Nothing new here , except for the propane tank shooting around during a chase scene . The acting is ok , and the police investigation part looks real . This is the second feature you watch , at the drive in , after seeing a great movie like Gladiator . This movie is a 6 ; for the car buff a 7 . |
403,047 | 453,228 | 98,273 | 6 | Better than average mystery | Al saves this film , a good actor can do that . I can't blame him taking 4 years off after acting in Revolution . That film no one could save , but this one he could . This shows you how good of an actor he is . I like the plot twists at the end . Worth renting |
402,407 | 453,228 | 338,526 | 6 | Just Ok | A bit too fantasy , but a few good tributes . There is some homage to a couple of Frankenstien movies , and Christopher Lee vampier movies . I did not mind some of this film , and some of the story , but this movie gets dorkey like Harry Ptter , The Matrix , and Lord of the Rings . I like the pace of this film , very fast like the Dawn of the Dead remake . When I compare Van Helsing to the Dawn remake the story becomes fantasy / dork and lose a bit of the grit or realism that scares me from the Dawn of the Dead or Chainsaw remake . This is a good rental , but a little too over explained story line . Should of keep one guessing , and a little more nastier , instead of shocking . Remind me of the Batman movie , I mean Batman one from 89 . The effects were ok . Too many by the number type film out like this , but better than others |
402,632 | 453,228 | 111,438 | 6 | Second time around this film is better . | I was not to crazy when I saw this film the first time . Wow the second time I found the time travel cool . This film is cool when one looks at the plot twists . Not the greatest of action flicks , but a lot better then most . Watch it twice if you rent it and you will catch a few extra things . |
402,975 | 453,228 | 765,443 | 6 | Cronenberg meets the BB | Not a bad movie . Eastern promises has the BBC style of British films . Crisp , and straight forward is the movie with a mix of Cronenbergs brutality . Hands being chopped , violent fights , and the ugliness of prostitution is portrayed in this movie . I grew up in a Slavic culture , and the movie address the frankness , hardness of the culture with the mix of joking and friendship . The film reminds me of the many family event I have attended . Brovo for the films research ! The film unravels a few mysteries , but has a disappointing ending . The reaction I had for the ending is That's it . What a disappointment . I knew the ending was for dramatic purposes I guess I am so use to the more TV style of rap up endings . . Maybe 7 . A good rental . |
403,112 | 453,228 | 245,674 | 6 | Creepy | A very original idea , but stupid like most horror films . You would have to be totally demented to do what this guy does . The film has a lot of tension and is totally creepy . I would not want to be in a house filled with tormented souls . The father played a believable role . I am glad I didn't waste my money and see this one on the big screen . SPOILER ! How does the nanny find the control room ? This part leaves you hanging . |
402,920 | 453,228 | 369,179 | 6 | It's OK | I like Charlie Sheen . People say we look and act alike . The show is funny and entertaining . However , yes there is a however Charlie carries the show . Situation comedies have become so dated and predictable . Like cop show's with the car chase , with the guy on the hood who rolls off just in time before before the car explodes sitcom's have become very formulated . All sitcoms have 1 ) the annoying ex 2 ) the annoying family or in laws 3 ) the protagonist get into trouble doing a stupid act and 4 ) the protagonist use sharp one liners to get out of trouble . I know what is going to be said before the line is delivered . A producer needs to turn the sitcom upside down , on its head , like Trailer Park Boys . Give Charlie a few twists and new spins to work with . Still a good show Charlie . . |
403,053 | 453,228 | 95,927 | 6 | Ok hollywood come out with this shlop all the time | Its unoriginal shlop , but done well . This movie is not rememberd today , but when it came out it was ok . Hanks plays and annoying character , and some of the comedy is not funny . Gives the viewer a feal of what its like on stage . |
403,284 | 453,228 | 452,608 | 6 | Movie is like a video game ! | Death Race is like a video game . I found the format and style of the movie similar to a Rock Star games computer game . Even the dialog is similar to the video clips in today's video games . I believe new technology like computer games is now effecting Hollywood's film style . The action and pace of the movie is like playing Grand Theft Auto . All we needed is Tommy Vincetti in the film ! Death Race is nothing like the predecessor Death Race 2000 . Death Race 2000 has to be one of the cheesiest films of all time . One of Stallone's first films . Death Race the remake is interesting , and I like how the evil warden gets it in the end . Turn your brain off before watching Death Race . 6 death racers out of 10 for this rendition . The movie is soon to be a video game near you . |
403,082 | 453,228 | 107,076 | 6 | Just Ok | Not a bad film , but there is so many action hero films out there . This film has some neat fight scenes , and cool bad guys . It is too much at the ending , but what the hell . I give it a six , what is Van Dame doing lately anyways . |
403,048 | 453,228 | 190,524 | 6 | A good made for TV movie ! | Spoiler ! ! ! Reading all the different opinions got me into renting this film . The IMDB reviews sounded like the Jerry Springer show ! I did not find this movie's message heavy handed , and started to wonder why all the tirades . It has a Christian message in it , I could not understand why some of the reviewers rented it unless they wanted to rant . It's not heavy handed and conveys the message slowly . I grew up Catholic and heard a lot of hell and damnation from others , and found other non Christian religions condemning of non-believers also ! The movie starts out before the Rapture and people disappear as it begins . I believe not all Christians will be taken up like in the film , but the film is fiction guessing on what might happen . It is interesting , but a bit long this part because I believe they spent most the their budget at the beginning of the film with the air attack . I guess this would disturb some , because the Bible is not PC , it condemns , has opinions and if I remember rightly the wide road to hell is taken by the majority , and less traveled path to heaven is taken by few . This reporter goes through this mystery which winds up in the conclusion . I like the portrayal of evil by the anti-christ's deception ; his evil ways had me stumped and ended the film strongly . The acting was ok , but the anti-christ actor , and his strong ending saves the middle of this film . Worth renting . |
403,125 | 453,228 | 76,729 | 6 | It's ok | We went and saw this one , with my familly when I was in grade 3 . One of Burts better films , its where the Duke's of Hazard got the idea for there show . Years latter , some of this films looks pretty 70's , with old gags , some of the stunts are so standard for today . Other parts still age well . Like when the beginning , bet with the beer , and the people laughing at the sherif . I sure do like Coors beer , and wish they bootlag some down here , because the Canadian version suck . 6 or , depending on how many Coors you drink while watching . |
403,192 | 453,228 | 83,336 | 6 | Watchable , but flawed | Good special effects for 81 , but nothing special for todays computer graphics ; one can see the influences in present movie making . The idea is sappy , and the acting is ok , but the effects is what I like in this film . Worth watching , and this film has a message about over development . Ahead of its time . I would give this film a . I find a lot of the early 80's film quality gritty , this film and the Howling appear very dark on my VCR . |
403,034 | 453,228 | 57,115 | 6 | Okay to watch | This film is shown all the time on the history station in Canada . It is not a bad movie . It is long , but interesting to watch . The cast was strong . It is a bit dated . It is a true story . I wonder how accurate the movie was to the book . |
403,011 | 453,228 | 320,661 | 6 | Very average | Epic films have made a come back in the last 3 to 4 year . What killed the epic film is the drag with the long story line . K of H is slow in spots and kills the film . Not a bad film , but far from a good film . Bloom is a fine actor , and the supporting cast is strong . Scott directs well . I wonder how accurate the story is with real life ? There were less battle scenes in this movie and the trailer is misleading with this aspect . The king Henry is great with the ending . Many people have a feeling for a need for purpose in life , and the film gives a reason for events and wars . K of H is a movie . Forgotten with time , like historical events . A movie rental . The second movie rental after one watches Troy . |
402,836 | 453,228 | 290,095 | 6 | Not a bad idea | Jackie Chan does some bad movies and some good ones . He is great for comedy . It reminds me of my Asian friends . This is one of his better ones . He has a great sense of humor which he combines with action . So you get a little bit of both . He plays a loser with his Hooters shirt . The story is neat and original . It is worth seeing . Jackie Chan does his trademark action in this film . He is very athletic . I enjoyed seeing this film . It was good for a laugh as well I got my action fix . |
402,523 | 453,228 | 92,099 | 6 | Great movie but | This is a great movie , but it lacks something . It was not Tom Cruse's best acting performance , or I did not like Toms character . Well maybe , pilots act this way , but Tom was not a team player , and learned about it ; Val Kilmer was a more liked person , and me with own sin should not cast the first stone because my wife tells me I got a Tom Cruse , top gun attitude so I should not judge . The cast is good you have Michael Ironside , and Tom Skeriet , and the script is good , but not accurate of what happens at top gun , and the story has a moral about growing up along with over coming life obstacles . In the end the jet footage is great , but something just lacked in this film |
403,010 | 453,228 | 397,065 | 6 | Forgettable | A forgettable film . Not a bad film , but a forgettable b movie . The second feature at a Driven , heading for the 99 cent bin at a rental store near you . The acting and directing is grade b , but the story and special effects compensate . Pairs Hilton's acting and role is what one lowly expects ; Another reality actor trying to better ones self . The story is interesting and keeps the viewer on track after the typically slow start . Has the usual car trouble , help from someone strange , and there is always a town in this style of movie . House of Wax is second feature after one watchs the good movie . Ammityville is the better of the 2 moves this spring . A 5 or , depending if one is a fan of horror movies . Has a few twists , but nothing special . No surprise the maker did not want this movie to go head to head with Amityville . |
403,029 | 453,228 | 80,465 | 6 | Not bad for its time | I remember when I was in grade 8 , people where starting to buy VCRs , and owning one was a big deal . Dad rented one , and we picked out movies . Borderline was one of them , I thought it was pretty cool . Watching this film 19 years later I found it predicable , and a little lame . No way his truck could keep up with a Trans Am on the highway , why did the guy , with the T A , go off road where the truck has the edge . My friend Gord mentioned this , and I thought yeah . Anyways , no surprises here , but watchable . |
402,624 | 453,228 | 175,142 | 6 | This movie breaks all the rules | This movie sure does , I mean if you offend easy do not go to this one . It insults everyone , and this movie is a back lash to the standards of political correctness . I have not been around humor like this since junior high . Name it ie drug etc it has it . Either you laugh or curse at this one , but don't repeat the story at work . I laughed and released alot of tension watching this one , but I felt a little guilty laughing at some of the humor afterwards . |
402,452 | 453,228 | 944,432 | 6 | Not one of the better episodes | Food is running low so Jake , Stanly , and Mini go on a deer hunting trip . I wonder if the eco-system is irradiated ? Why one would eat wild game with radiation in it ? Would the deer be contaminated ? Was the food out of the radiation belt ? A truck disaster happens , and bandits run off with all their possessions . In the middle of nowhere what will the 3 do ? The town is still in personal turmoil and the other half of the show has Jake , Stanly and Mini face personal term-oil too . The Stanly , and Mini too . The bickering gets to be a little too munch . I feel asleep for part of the show . The show wraps up positively as usual . . ' Heart of winter ' is a filler episode . A more forgettable one too . Watch in anyways . |
403,141 | 453,228 | 65,938 | 6 | Dated , but ok another one of those 24 hours of Eastwood movies on TBS | Many of the actors in this film are dead , and the anti establishment theme is a bit dated . Another one of those 24 hours of Eastwood on TBS , between them and CBC ( in Canada ) showing this film all the I can say this film is over kill on tv . The first time I saw it I did not mind it , except for the Oddball guy . Anyways not one of Eastwoods better one , but not awful either . |
402,450 | 453,228 | 944,433 | 6 | Interesting but not a great episode . | Series have formulas . Quick answers , condense stories , and a hook for next week's show . Jericho does not follow all the plot devices of television . The character of April dies giving birth ending the affair soap opera show subplot . ( A quick answer and even quicker story ) I find April's death is a device which ends a subplot that slowed down Jericho's fast story line . When one character dies ( April ) then another rises ( Hawken's ) . The death of Hawken's co-worker is a question . Is Hawken's a terrorist or savior ? The hook for next week's show . Jericho and the other town demands more ? No quick answers . A slower episode which asks question , but a important episode which is a turning point for future events . . Jericos story climax will be good . |
402,923 | 453,228 | 406,759 | 6 | More suspense than a horror movie . | I like the movie . A decent Wensdaynight date movie . ' The Eye ' is a horror movie , but also more of a mystery movie . After a eye transplant Jessica Able is able to see the dead . A mystery of who Jessica'a eye donor is ensues . Well directed and acted . The story's mystery is the engine which drives the movies to its suspenseful ending . I was guessing at the ending . Is ' The Ring ' a better movie ? You bet . I still like ' The Eye ' which is a good second feature on DVD night . A 6 or . Not a Texas Chainsaw Masscaure style film . ' The Eye ' is not a gore fest style horror movie . Take ' The Eye ' for what it is ! A mystery style horror movie . |
402,381 | 453,228 | 1,032,133 | 6 | BlairWitch / Reality TV / Supernatural | Blairwitch , Reality TV blended in with Supernatural . What did the blender make ? I found the show to be funny but also annoying . There is funny parts . One gets many laughs off Dean's behavior . I found the young kids annoying , and a drag on the show . The producers had to try something new . Is Ghostfacers funny in spots yes . Is the show annoying Yes . I did not mind Ghostfacers , but I did not like it either . Maybe I have to watch the show a few more time , and it will grow on you . The parents garage part is great . The magnet part makes a lot of scene . Those Winchester boys are smart . I bet the magnet idea was Sams ! I will watch the show again . I like the Amrican band song with the bad Impelia at the start of the show . Way cool ! |
403,248 | 453,228 | 1,032,129 | 6 | Disappointing , but jury is still out ! | Disappointing , but jury is still out . Music , childish behavior etc is a bit too over the top for this episode . I know the writers are trying to make a reckless Dean , but Dean has no heart , unless that is Dean's new character development ? Sam and the rest of the characters , just go through the motions in the season 3 opening . The writing for episode 1 of season appear exhausted . I could be wrong , and more character development could evolve in other episodes . Will the new characters add needed life for the plot twists ? Will the world besaved ? Can the show be saved ? Let's keep on watching . . Maybe , they can have evil twists of Sam and Dean with a differentlooking car for a episode ? Mike |
403,173 | 453,228 | 416,449 | 6 | Just OK | I was taught by my history professor to never praise Sparta , but the Athenians instead . Sparta's militaristic , autocratic and closed society hurt growth more than it helped . I kept this in mind . I found the military strategy , planing and organization of the film excellent . CGI was way too much making the film like a comic book . Persia grew from the growth of other societies and won by scale according to the movie . I did not understand the king's denial when the deal was offered for Sparta to keep its own land and expand in exchange for use of services like their army . I guess there is a need for politicians . Gladiator , Troy , and Alexiader were better movies in different ways . There was a need to show more of the drudgery of Spartan life in the movie . Not a bad movie ! |
402,924 | 453,228 | 380,086 | 6 | Not bad | 360 with Anderson Cooper is not a bad show . The show leans towards the left . They have Lou Doubs , and Glean Beck for equal time . At least , Cooper is not so biased so Cooper shows both sides of a issue . Cooper does not roll around on the ground and act silly like some liberals over some issues . Hillary is a candidate not someone a news journalist acts objectively towards . What's happening and why is how Copper follows Hillary's campaign . Cooper does not have the best voice or most entertaining analog , but Coopers continuity provide a strong balance for the show . . I watch 360 sometimes , and I do not watch news shows anymore . News is too by the numbers with opinions instead of issues which I find uninteresting . I wonder who's news opinion is right . Why is Ted Kennedy's endorsement mean so much for someones campaign . Why is it news worthy ? What about the issues ? What really happened ? In the the truth is objective ? Plato once said what is truth ? |
402,600 | 453,228 | 76,594 | 6 | Not bad | It is like watching a documentary . I watch the History Channel all the time . I love watching War documentaries . This film is like a War documentary with acting . I found it quite accurate on the accounts of what happened . I love the raid . They even have the fake Edie on this one . Way too Cool , what a raid . |
403,334 | 453,228 | 161,942 | 6 | Believable | Spoiler ! ! I thought this film was better than Left Behind . It was believable . It makes one wonder what is really in store for us . I like the idea of the virtual reality . The dog visiting all the hydro poles when he was being tracked was funny . There is real evil out there and I guess the actor who played the messiah represented it very well . There was lots of action in this movie believe or not . An interesting guess into the book of Revelations . |
402,710 | 453,228 | 117,918 | 6 | Costner doesn't destroy this one | It is funny when he doesn't direct the film , the film actually turns out pretty good . The beginning and ending was strong , but the middle had too much filler material . Don Johnson plays an excellent role . He looked and had that sarcastic attitude as he did as Sonny Crockett on Miami Vice . I enjoyed this part . This movie was worth renting , but nothing to scream about . |
402,789 | 453,228 | 104,815 | 6 | well done considering the budget . | One loses a bit of the feel for the movie with the subtitles . It was not a hard movie to watch with subtitles . It was filmed like the old Spaghetti Westerns . The film was interesting and artistically done well . The budget hurts this film . I could just imagine what could of been done with a larger budget and more time . This film was surprisingly well ; I have seen worse done on bigger budgets . It shows how talent can overcome low budgets and no name actors . |
402,341 | 453,228 | 87,062 | 6 | It's okay | This film is more of a comedy than action . I like this film , but when I watched it again on TBS , I found it a bit dated and slow . It is funny how taste and attitudes evolve . Worth watching on TBS . Notice how Clint performs physical comedy with his facial expressions . I give this a . |
403,350 | 453,228 | 906,716 | 6 | not bad | Not a bad show . Grey the new mayor is very irrational , and handles the Jhona murder trial badly . Grey think in a hot headed manor , while Green the old mayor is rational and look deeper into the problem . The 16 year old boy find out who is the real murder , and resolution is resolved . Green's son handle ever week crisis as usual , the only difference is with out Hawkens in the picture . a good show . A bit on the soap opera side . Trouble with marriages and who lives where . I think desperate time would create a show like this . Watch this show . I like it . I can not wait for the show to start in Feruary . What will Hawkens do next ? |
402,426 | 453,228 | 92,225 | 6 | crazy but my kind of crazy | Spoiler I was watching this film years back , young and unemployed . This is a hard to accept , especially when other close too you call you a bum . Emlio's character felt like a loser also . This drives him on a cray trial . Unblevable , yet crazy , but likable . I could relate , and becomes a robber hood . Then we find out it's all a dream , which makes a logical conclusion . My wife says hey Mike this is just like you . Very 80's with the FBI guy who understands etc . I like the part where the hero is on the vistors stands in the ending . I won't take this film too seriously , if you don't either ? Killing some time while I down load Black Out game from the Dawn of the Dead movie sight , and thought about reviewing this film . Watch it . . I wonder if they show this one on TBS . |
403,264 | 453,228 | 183,649 | 6 | THIS FILM SURE IS SHORT 91 MINUTES | HOW FAR CAN YOU STRETCH A FILM ABOUT a PHONE BOOTH ? NOT LONG ! What did I like : Well it is original , something fresh . Believable , anything is possible after , and it today's hi tech society no one ever know who is watching . What I did not like : How much can you do with the script . Having it done in a Phone Booth restricted what could be done . This film , done on the cheap . The message at the end is twisted . My conclusion is the viewer gets to see the dark side , or the Jerry Springer version side of Joel Schuemecker . |
402,368 | 453,228 | 247,745 | 6 | Good concept , but lame story | I seen all this cheese in the 80's , and this film is not original . The film's funny moments make it enjoyable , but one loses interest in the story . Funny , but not that funny describes this movie . Worth renting , but I would never buy the film . |
403,220 | 453,228 | 432,348 | 6 | I just saw the movie ! Does the movie make the cut ? | I just saw the movie ! Does the movie make the cut ? I found Saw 2 a dull blade compared to the first . The first movie is built on suspense which the second maintains , but saw 2's repetition loses the tension of the predecessor . The lack of character development along with too many characters , and the unlikable characters ruin the re pore with the audience . The elevator ending was stupid . The moral judgment of a sadist on other is a hard and de-humanizing display . Jig-saw lecturing the cop on morals is like Stalin lecturing Hitler on governmental responsibility . I cannot buy this ! I like the first movie when the killer is just sick with a twisted logic . The doctor is a likable man a good formula , hard for the makers to improve on . |
402,787 | 453,228 | 253,556 | 6 | This is hard one to describe | I'm on holidays and went to this movie yesterday with Dan , and my wife . Dan said this movie is a cross between The Road Warrior , and Dragon Slayer ; you could also add Aliens and Life Force as influential movies from the 80's . This story is very original , and not a copy of the others . Cutting to the chase , and not ruining the film for the first time viewer , I found the film hard to grasp . Maybe , it's the mood I was in , or the film dragging at the beginning . A well made film , I can not pick it apart ; it could be the concept of Dragons flying around that diminishes my view . In the end rent this one . |
403,298 | 453,228 | 293,662 | 6 | Like a 70's Hong Kong action flick ! | This movie is comparable to an 80's Chuck Norris film , or many of Bruce Lee's films . I would not call it bad action wise , but not good story wise . I thought it would be like The Driver , but it evolves into Bradock Missing in Action , and then into a remake of Return of the Dragon . Entertaining and gets rid of anger , which I needed to vent out yesterday , but I kept saying to myself you got to be kidding with some of the story . Go see it if you like martial arts , and rocket attacks . Notice the heat seeker goes after the warm oven , I appreciate that detail . I give it a . |
403,109 | 453,228 | 283,111 | 6 | Somewhere Between PCU and Sorority Boys | This movie is funny , but not that funny . A PC or tamer version of Sorority Boys , and more vulgar then PCU . I went to college , and the PC people don't like college party movies or those type of parties any ways ( one PCer told me those parties where oppressive , but that's besides the point ) so let's say it's tamer than Sorority Boys . The lead character is too wimpy , and the director misses the feeling of college life ; where Sorority Boys achieves this . There is a message , and moral in this film that kills the story . Reid does not look that good ; I wonder how she gets such good roles . What works is the gags ; sick , funny , and bizarre . The bad people play the snob role well , and deserve what hatred they conjure up . This movie is a |
403,181 | 453,228 | 383,574 | 6 | Not enough Jack Sparrow | There was not enough of Jack Sparrow in the movie ! The first story's protagonist Jack Sparrow's personality carried the film . The absence of Sparrow's character kills the movie . The dialog of Jack Sparrow is not as strong as the first movie . I found Jack sparrow's look is like Captain Morgan on the rum advertisement . Could the coincidence be a marketing ploy for rum ? Your guess is good as mine . The movie drags in spots and a little too much fantasy . I believe the movie is more a prequel for the final of the series . The sets and acting were okay . I was tired for the second feature at the drive-in . Thus I appear to be a little critical . With this in mind , wait for the rental . ! |
