402,837 | 453,228 | 64,110 | 6 | Better than average 60's WW II movie | They often show this movie on the Canadian History channel . I do not mind it , I remember , when I was 6 , my dad made me go to bed after watching the beginning of this film . For years I remember that , I guess it just stuck out in my memory . A few months ago I watch the whole film . Not a bad film , but far from great . B actor Rober Vaughn is a bright spot . Worth watching , and for a older film it ages well . |
403,133 | 453,228 | 178,868 | 6 | Strong start ends week | The Seatle remake is better . Well they had more money , and a second chance to improve on the ideas . I found the 2 movies simular at the beginning , with this fresh concept , but the last quarter runs out of steam . The buckets , and what to do with the tape etc is a little too much . Fresh , and watchable with subtitles . I give it a six . |
403,361 | 453,228 | 257,360 | 6 | A little too close to reality | Spoilers ! ! ! ! ! My dad retired recently , and we watched this movie together . The retirement party , what people say , and how Schmidt reacts to his new life makes this a reality movie . My guess its influence is reality TV . The humor is every day reality faults in people . Schmidt's job was his life , and without it he lost his existence . He finds out how mundane , and empty life is . How spiritually , and emotionally empty life can be when we do not work on these needs and he notices these inequities . He finds out realities , like most of us will not be anything special , what we build decays including what if any legacy we leave behind . He finds out the office can easily replace him and shows him the elevator when he visits , which my dad mentioned . That his wife had some secrets , he needed her and the house falls apart . His daughter looks homely , and has social behavior issues . Why at an older age does she marry who she does ? This is the best she can do . Instead of being happy , he gets to see a really social dysfunctional Hippie style family ( the writer must have some real life experiences ) . Good humor in this part with good details . The hippie family's ex lives in denial , mother who can not cope with age gets weirder , son in law balding with pony tail . How many people go to weddings with dread , with the same monotonous ceremony with no heart involved . Jack is great speaking at the wedding , and how one lies in life . Hey it not so bad most of us have to deal with this junk . It's just life . In the end this movie is funny , but a little too close to real life . |
402,548 | 453,228 | 88,944 | 6 | Lame , but entertaining all at the same time . | This film is another lame 80's action flick . I loved this film when I was 16 , but as I mature this film gets lamer . Its too over the top . The cheap sets , the sad knife fight , and wooden acting . The story is over the top . What I did like in this comic book film is the humor . Lines like , " Remember when I said I kill you last " " Yes You did " " I lied " " Let off some steam Bennit " " I eat Green berets for breakfast " " Where's what ever his name " " I let him go " . Still funny , but mindless . In the end I give this film a six . |
402,801 | 453,228 | 74,875 | 6 | Late night TV | Many years back , I was watching TBS late night , and this surprise was on . Do they still have TBS late night ? Not bad for a 70's low budget film ! The film is about bullies and the cycle of violence . How bullies hurt , and the level of violence increases . Others , just replace the bullies as opportunity rises . The comment about todays society is no one would even dare release such a movie in the double 00's , with the crazy high school violence of the past few years . The world was much safer , were such event were in movies . The guy from Death race 2000 brother was in this film , and has appeared in many 70's low budget films . Cheesy story , for a low budget film . Interesting to watch on a late night . I give it a |
402,541 | 453,228 | 331,468 | 6 | Trailer misleading | The trailer is misleading for this film , it conjures up a ghost story . I went into the theater with the wrong expectations , and left disappointed . The story is interesting , like a tv movie , and developed well . Dennis Quaid is a remarkable B actor , and Stone seems to have rebounded from her mishap , strange my wife had a stroke on the same day . Worth renting , but do not get fooled by the trailer like I did . |
402,906 | 453,228 | 283,026 | 6 | Has she put on the weight | I can not believe how much weight she has put on unless the camera added the weight . The story was like Fatal Attraction . This movie has been done over and over . I think Hollywood needs to come up with some original stories . Maybe he should of just gone out with her and then there would of been no story . I do not really care for her acting abilities . The actors were all B actors ; there was no big names in this film . I would not waste my money for the big screen , save it for rental . Maybe they should have added something new too the script like a UFO picks up the bad girl at the ending . HA HA H |
403,210 | 453,228 | 60,177 | 6 | Not bad ! | I remember going to see realatives in Kimberly BC , and the movie was on at 2 am which is 4 am central time . I missed it , and they have better TV out west to boot . Years later I got to see this film . Swank for its time , and entertaining for a long movie . A young Gorge Pepard plays a swank hot shot pilot , who is an out cast , because of his lower social class . In the end his attitude , and escapades catch up . Worth watching for a 66's war movie . |
403,209 | 453,228 | 74,899 | 6 | Watched it on the History channel ! | One of Heston's better performances , and overall watchable . Well directed , but the effects , script , and acting is dated in spots . I would watch the whole movie on TV , but would not stay up for it . Average movie nothing special here . |
402,402 | 453,228 | 82,495 | 6 | Not as scary as the original | The original film is a slow burn , and builds up . This film , based in a hospital , has some of thoes characteristics , but turns into another Friday the 13th body count film . The ending gets stupid , but the films impact is ok . I would watch it , but would rather watch something else . |
402,604 | 453,228 | 89,003 | 6 | Better than the 2nd , but not even close to the original | Spoiler Death Wish one and two's stories were almost identical , and with three they altered the story . This time Bronson is working for the cops , and a full scale riot erupts . I give this movie a five or six depending on my mood . The seriousness of the original is dropped . This is an action film . I can not believe they filmed it in London and made it look like New York . The budget was much higher than the first two films . I was glad when the Creeper got what he deserved . |
403,145 | 453,228 | 239,948 | 6 | It made me laugh | This movie is funny , and the humour is presented stupidly . I like the gross , visual sick , jokes . Every one should know someone who goes out with the wrong person , and saving silvermen presents this concept beautifully . It is far from a classic movie , and five years later you wonder why you found this funny . I say go to the movie now , and enjoy it , forget how stupid you will feel about it later . |
402,528 | 453,228 | 141,926 | 6 | Entertaining | This film is ok , and Bill Paxton plays a good role . However , this film steered away from the facts . The explosions were too close , it was the British who actually did this mission , and the story gets a little too unbelievable . There is tension , drama , and a message of what a good leader is . These attributes save an otherwise unbelievable film . |
402,912 | 453,228 | 111,756 | 6 | Watchable | My dad hates this film and I watch it with little expectations and enjoyed it . Not the best movie ever , but I like the grittiness of it . The part where they show him in the bar , and how his life led to his moment with destiny . It is unfair to compare this to Tombstone , when they both came out , because Tombstone is a classic . This film is worth a look . 6 or . |
403,223 | 453,228 | 417,217 | 6 | Not bad but sad | Well , a OK movie . I did notice some old USFL footage from the 80's the NFL would not want to be tied with this film I guess . I recognized a few old USFL teams if one looks closer at the film . The Boston / New Orleans Breakers , Mephis Show Boats , L A Express ( I believe the quarter back was Steve Young ) , and The New Jersey Generals ( I believe the quarter was Doug Flutie ) . A couple of teams I could not recognized . Back to the movie , directing at a good pace , and well acted . The gambler Pacino is a sad and unlikable character . The movie is a down beat film with the message of gambler appetite for destruction and pushing life too hard . It is never winning 20 its losing 200 . The end is about life choice and one is what the protagonist does . |
402,790 | 453,228 | 119,375 | 6 | You lose something in the subtitles | I saw the new version with Al Pacino and it was great . This one was good but I do not understand the language and lost the feel of the movie because of having to constantly read the subtitles . You miss little things like mannerisms and voice tones because of the language barrier . This film is a bit darker than the remake . It seems European films are always a little bit darker than the American counterpart . I hate the word insomnia because I suffer from this sometimes . I like the trailer part " No rest for the wicked . " I can relate with making a mistake due to lack of sleep which gets one in a pickle . I would of rated it higher but like I said you miss something with the subtitles . |
402,945 | 453,228 | 486,583 | 6 | Not a bad movie | Not a bad Christmas movie . ' Fred Clause ' was well directed and acted . The story is OK . Vince is funny at times , similar in style to a 80's Bill Murry via Stripes . Fred Clause is funny for moments and also serious with the family message . I like the part where infamous brothers talk about their famous brother counterparts . Frank Stalone , S Baldwind etc make cameo appearances for troubled brothers . I like the ended which shows a trouble Kevin Speacy , and why the villain has it in for Santa Clause . The presents do get delivered and Christmas is saved is a predictable ending , but a lovable ending . . OK Christmas movie . |
403,147 | 453,228 | 71,571 | 6 | Better then the new one | I did not like the new version . This film has a low budget , and the acting along with the story suffered . The whole budget had to be spent on the last fourty minute car chase . The begaining of the movie I give a 6 the middle a 2 , the begaining of the car chase a 3 , and as it went a 8 . This movie is the car chase , and the whole story is nothing more then justifying the car chase . The begaining of the the car chase is very run of the mill , and done so often on tv please . BUT , as it progressed with the camera shot from the front of the car , the purr of the engine , the apeal approved . What sticks out of my mind in this film and saves it is the secene where the car jumps and they do a 3 way replay of the event , and choreographed it nicely . It is a thing of beauty . Especially when they put one scence with the car in the air and splice it back again with another . This part of the film is true brilliance . In the end I gave it a 6 worth watching if your bored and love cars . |
403,193 | 453,228 | 234,215 | 6 | Just ok . More of a video game than a movie | Spoiler ! ! ! The beginning of this movie was slow . It looked like a Euro Dance Party off MTV . I gave that part a . Then the action scenes I gave a , it got a little long , but interesting effects . Then when the story downloaded , it became more of a interesting movie , and turns into the old intelevision's dungeons and dragons video game ; With opening and closing of doors . Then the action became interesting , but it evolves into a video game like Double Dragon ; I wished I had a Joy Stick or they showed points on the top of the screen . . Then they explained the Matrix , and I took it in Math recently and found the explanation of how it fixes itself logical . . Then the ending I found to be the biggest jip of all , like leaves me hanging , that is no ending at all . It is like , when you program the VCR and it cuts off 10 minutes early and one never sees the movie ending . ( ending ) Overall . PS Is there a video game out of this movie yet ? |
403,380 | 453,228 | 84,726 | 6 | Twice as good as the original | This film is an improvement over the original . Thus again , my friend Dwight , sister , and her boy friend Scot McDonald went to see this one . I thought Kahn was great , and the attack on Kirk was excellent . The worms in ears , and the big blast for the ending where the right ingredients for this film . In-between battles , the over stretched dialogue , and sub stories bog down this film , but do not kill it . Worth watching |
403,014 | 453,228 | 373,926 | 6 | Not bad | Well , this movie has a bad preview . I hate it when a preview misleads the public . The movie is better than the preview . The acting is OK . the realism pulls no punch with this film . Not a happy go politically correct film , which Hollywood is noted for . However the realism loses momentium with the ending . How could anyone not get into bad trouble with how the ending is ? Hey , you know what I mean when you watch the ending . The acting is OK . The directing better , and the story well I like the first . Rent this movie . A different role for Sean Penn . . There is some suspense in this movie . Kidmon sure is playing darker roles . |
403,116 | 453,228 | 477,071 | 6 | Don't rent this | Spoilers . The movie is a real downer . The ending is a downer . I found the movie goes back and forth too much . Why is there so much confusion . Even the happy moments , have tension of some bad event . With all the build up , the ending makes the movie have too much of a let down . I find Sandra never gets good parts . She should pick better movies . My wife like Sandra and we got to watch all her movies . Please pick more uplifting films . I found no message in this movie . Not badly acted or directed . . Rent this film if you dare . The dark color of the film set the dreary feel of the entire movie . The pace makes the dreary feel grinding |
403,293 | 453,228 | 106,452 | 6 | Different from the others | This film is different enough from the other two , and has originality . This is not a classic , but entertaining . The more I watch the 78 version the less I like it and the 50's film holds up well . The film's tension is a slow burn , and differs with the other two by having a teenage female perspective , and a new location at the military base . I give it a . |
402,409 | 453,228 | 129,387 | 6 | Just Ok | Spoiler ! ! ! Toilet junior high humor . I like this sort of humor , but such humor is either hit or miss . The grandma on speed was funny , along with the cops part . Other stuff was gross , or like the dog scene stupid . I heard so much hype and found the movie not able to live up all the praise . I hated the band , I was wondering if the bad singer getting shot was ment to be funny or relief ? I will let you the reader decide . Rent it , if there is nothing else left in the video store . Better than being stuck with Ishtar ; I still never had the nerve to rent that one . Comedy is hard to do , and I found this style of movie gets graded the hardest . PS The Pizza guy was a twist , and was funny near the end ; they should have used him sooner . The end , was weired as they come . |
402,437 | 453,228 | 82,869 | 6 | Watch it on tv if you are bored | There is nothing special about this film , and it is not a bad film either . It is just there . A forgettable film , but it has a few bright spots . Sean Connery is a believable character , some of space colony sets hit the mark , and the film has a bit of a mystery to it . In the end I give it a six . |
403,063 | 453,228 | 82,817 | 6 | Terrorist in New York | No this is not a movie trying to make a pay off from the events that happened on September 11 . This movie was done way before we ever thought terrorists would attack North America . This movie is a by the number cop show , which is better than average , but not a great movie either . The hitcher in this film , and Stallone plays one of his better characters , but the story lacks no matter how good character development progressed through the film . |
402,448 | 453,228 | 465,602 | 6 | Like a GTA video game ! | Like a GTA video game . The movie is similar to ' The Transporter ' with little story melded with continual rapid fire action . The viewer is assaulted with surreal video game style violence . One continual climax of violence is the storyline . One gets a lame explanation of a storyline . Who needs a storyline with this film ! I like the action but I turned my brain off after about five minutes after watching . 6 out 10 . A rental . Owen took the money a ran with this movie . Shootem up will hurt Owen's image . The girl from the bond film always plays a snake of a character . I would rather play GTA vice city with the character of Tommy . |
403,234 | 453,228 | 404,390 | 6 | Not bad , but not the Soprano's either | Not bad , but not the Soprano's either . The script is over the top , with a few good scenes , which is well directed and acted . Paul Walker is a excellent actor ! I have never seen Paul's acting hurt a film which is an accomplishment for working in countless weak movies . If Paul had Keanu Reves agent and films I believe Paul would be a mega star . Running Scared has great supporting actors , the actor who plays the mobsters son is great , the Russian mob and children actors save a weak film . The hockey climax is original and powerful . Soon to be in the 99 cent rental as a second feature on rental night . . I love the Mustang at the beginning , and ending ; Powerful film work , visually , and emotionally . |
403,203 | 453,228 | 272,207 | 6 | too artistic | Not a bad film . The acting was great . The film tries to have a huge impact style . It is so artistic that it is over done . They try to make the ending so shocking that it leaves you wanting more . It is like eating a dinner and still being hungry afterwards . The film was a blend of 70's cop stories and Miami Vice in one . I would suggest renting this one . |
402,355 | 453,228 | 99,892 | 6 | Average | Tom Hanks makes a bad b film into and average film . The story is nothing special , but I understand the concept of the daily depressing grind , I feel like throwing myself into a volcano somethimes too . This film is not that bad that I would throw myself into one or so funny it would prevent me from doing so . There is humorious bits , but it never took off . Whoever heard of brain clouds ? |
402,301 | 453,228 | 311,429 | 6 | Different ! | Different is the polite word my wife used to describe this movie while we left the theater . Like most people , we went to see the legendary Sean Connery . Sean plays his excellent , action adventure character , but we have too many comic book movies today . Hulk , DareDevil , and Spiderman , and Hollywood is become redundant with seen this done that action sequences , and special effects . Maybe in the 80's and early 90's when Batman came out this film would be more original . Ever notice , ALL these films follow the Bond / Raider formula in their stories . The film was okay but I think one should wait for video . |
402,930 | 453,228 | 408,306 | 6 | Nothing special | Nothing Special . OK movie , started out strong . The film become too artish with the ending . I know the anxiety's were reflected , but I like the documentary feel of the beginning . Acting is perfect . The ending , what is with that ? The dinner comment ? I believe the actor wanted to escape his past at the ending . The commando part is good . A movie rental . Nothing special . OK film . I would not buy it . I wonder how real the film is ? Not a date movie . Film in a dark tint , I wonder if such a back ground was for the mood of this film ? No humor or release in the film . Comments about the policies and ideas of the people , in a political way . |
403,375 | 453,228 | 492,044 | 6 | Not bad but not good either . | Not a bad movie , but not a good movie either . The Haunting in Connecticut started out strong . A family buys a house in Connecticut because one of the boys has cancer and needs to be close to the hospital for treatment . The family buys an old funeral home and go figure the place is haunted . Strange and bad events happen at the house . The events go from bad to worse . The first third of the movie is scary , but the bottom third of the film made me think you got to be joking . The story has a strong build up for the last third of the movie . However , the bottom third of the movie ends in a whimper . I though the explanation for the haunting was lame and lazy . I give the film a . Better rent the film or video on demand it . Just OK . |
403,230 | 453,228 | 443,632 | 6 | Run of the mill | Another run of the mill movie . The film industry , ( with digital in a few years people will ask what is film ? ) produces too many formulated movies like The Sentinel . Well acted and directed with interesting plot twists , but with a made for TV storyline . Worth renting , as a second feature , but one would never buy the movie . In the line of fire is a better film . In the line of fire was original ten years ago , and has been copied several times over . The Sentinel is comparable to a horror / slasher movie with the formulated deranged killer , and looks dated . Sutherland is becoming a better act than his father . . Don't be on the look out for the Sentinel . |
402,936 | 453,228 | 395,699 | 6 | Not bad | The Pacifier is an okay movie . What I personally dislike is not the film , but the preview . When a preview shows the best material in a movie , then the viewer sees a flatter movie . The preview basically tells the ending of a joke . When one hears the joke the listener loses the joke's effect . Thankfully , the movie is good enough to withstand the preview . I went with my wife , and younger family . Everyone enjoyed the movie . Disney knows how to entertain the whole family . The film was directed and written well . Vin and the rest of the cast do a good job . Violence , but of the A Team kind . You do not see anyone get killed . I give the Pacifier a . I wish they did not show so much in the preview . |
403,004 | 453,228 | 758,774 | 6 | Not bad but disappointing . | Not a bad movie , but disappointing . The cast and the trailer created high expectations for the movie . The acting was just OK , not one of Crowe's more memorable roles . Scot's directing and the movie script was interesting , but not revetting . Maybe , I have to watch the movie another time . I get the movie's message , that we need troops on the ground who know the area , just not spy planes etc . The other message is no one is innocent in the wicked games that are played with the war on terror . I would rent the movie , but not buy Body of lies . I like the part where Jordian intelligence guy knew what the CIA operative knew , but either could not tell the truth . With intelligent people you can not fool them all the time or most of the time . I give the movie stars . A OK rental . |
403,365 | 453,228 | 71,222 | 6 | Average | Spoiler . . . They say this film influenced others ; well it is average by today's standards . This film builds great tension but is dated and laps over periods of time . The relentless tension build up is what makes this movie . The scare factor is very tame , and predictable for today's standards . Plot twists , this is before call trace and shows the age of this film , where they have to wait to trace the caller and find out he is calling from the house . I could see this one coming right from the get go . The comic relief is awful , the 70's must have been the I don't care rude and crude generation that reflects today's social decay . The swearing , perverseness , drinking , and rude comments had a shock humor element then , but in today's Jenny Jones , Jerry Springer society make one's eyes roll . It seems in that era of filming everyone has to yell , for many of us who work customer service just find it idiotic , not funny , or even amusing . ( explains why so many disgruntled customers have the 70's styled mustaches , leather vests and boots ) . I work at the Post Office and see this daily , and with my experiences with unbalanced people I find the caller's messages scary . They must have experience with these phone calls or studied mental illnesses . The caller rants , rambles , repeats himself , and goes on a senseless tangent . A different sense of reality . Everyone in this film has a problem , the drinking bit is too much , and builds little character development . The unbalanced boyfriend ending , and the cops too stupid to check the rest of the house is a little too much . |
402,330 | 453,228 | 758,746 | 6 | Not bad but not great either . | Friday the 13th is not a bad movie , but not a great movie either . Friday the 13th is just an OK movie . The beginning of the film is strong and scary . The first 3rd of the movie is interesting with Sam Winchester off supernatural looking for his sister . The character just acts like Sam would from the Supernatural series . Then , the viewer loses interest when the story becomes bogged down with character development . I read once they make the characters annoying in the Fridaday 13th series because if the audience become to attached to the characters the audience gets to disturbing watching the film . There where some scares , and tension with the movie . However , I have seen a few of the other 13th movie and a few of the scene in the new movie become predictable . The movie was worth going to I would give Friday the 13th a , or a . I would call this movie a rental or cheap night movie . They still managed to give present film an 80's feel like the older Friday the 13th movies . |
402,563 | 453,228 | 311,113 | 6 | I don't know if it is the mood I am in ? | I don't know if it is the mood I am in , but I found the movie average . Good acting and script . Nothing wrong with the sets or production values . No political correctness re-writes of history . The moive has some brutal realism too it . I had a very bad week , before I went into the movie , maybe this add to my bad reflection on it . Sometimes , I love a movie and hate it later on video , just maybe the reverse with this one . It is entertaining , but long . |
402,371 | 453,228 | 119,594 | 6 | Good story . but Newman can't play the heavy anymore . | The story is good , but Newman can not play the heavy anymore . Physically he looks like he can not run around the block . My wife , and parents went to see this and mentioned it too . Newman can still act , but this film is lacking . |
402,505 | 453,228 | 364,045 | 6 | My wife liked it , but I did not . | Spoilers ! This movie reminds me of my wife's soap opera . Unbelievable in spots , with added drama for entertainment . Unbelievable movie ? Yes . Parts of the movie were interesting and keep the viewer watching . Who has sex with the hotel door open ? I found that and the next few plot twists too Jerry Springerish . Would I watch this movie again ? No . Did my wife like this movie ? Yes . Did she pick this movie out ? Yes . The ending is a big surprise . I will give the movie credit for this . My wife would give this a 7 . I am giving this film a 6 . Not that bad . I have seen worse , it's watchable , but not that watchable . Ethan Hawke was in this one and my wife can not stand his acting and I have to agree . |
402,513 | 453,228 | 368,447 | 6 | Disapointment | Boy , it is hard to make a post , with my firewall going up all the time some jerk must be trying to hack me . Anyways , that is besides the point . The guy who wrote and directed this film , I believe it is an East Indian name that I can't spell , has a bad tendency of writing films that have great previews , but disappointing endings with no conclusions . Another film like signs . The story dragged , and the characters were over evolved . This would be a great short story , but not a full feature film . The movie is plausible . Maybe , they should have an aftermath at the end of this film . Like Signs were the aliens could not open doors , but travel from another planet the Village is another hard too digest film . A DVD at home not a outing . . |
402,487 | 453,228 | 853,785 | 6 | Not bad | Not bad , but one of the slower episodes . Character , and plot development is part of this episode . Disastors , trouble , and family problems are a device for character development . The viewer learns Hawken's has trouble being a father . Skeet is developing character and leadership skills . The show give us the primal view of humanity as people struggle for survival . Cooperation and humanity is balance with the brutality of people . Will the town lose it's soul . I hope not . . I think the town is headed for some bad times . I see no sign of God or spirituality in the show . There is a battle for survival . The battle is also of who we are as people . |
403,002 | 453,228 | 1,082,868 | 6 | not bad but a b movie indeed ! | Not a bad movie but a b movie indeed ! The sexual comments and bad acting at the beginning makes for a b movie . Then the movie becomes another version of the Blair Witch Project . The first part of the movie is slow with sloppy acting then boom we got a scary fast pace horror movie . With the running around and confusion going on the script become believable . I found the first half of the movie is a . The movie's second half is a 9 on the scare meter . In total I give the movie a . A good movie rental or pay per view . The ending is very Blair Witch Project ! This movie is done on the cheap and will make a mint . |
403,169 | 453,228 | 987,714 | 6 | Disappointed | Disappointed ! I hate asking a question and only get more questions as answers ! I had a university professor who did this and drove me crazy . What is the deal with the yellow eyed demon or the demons plans for Sam the viewer never knows . Disappointing and frustrating for myself to watch a entire season with such a whimper of a climax . Dean selling out never , I found that plot twist so out of line with the character development of Dean in the last 2 seasons . The railroad tracks , and the crypt are little too over the top . I like the part with the dad , but the rest is too much . Maybe there should have been 3 parts too this . If there is with next season I will re-write my review . |
402,428 | 453,228 | 109,635 | 6 | watchable | Not a bad movie , the company I was with at the movie wasn't . I found the movie tense . The story is believable , there is some very cold people out there . Help and wit is sometimes needed in life . Moore plays a very mean person , perfectly . Her most believable role to date . The more times they show it on TBS the more times I like it . Sutherland does a good creep also . I wonder if these actors behave this way in real life . The movie is a bit graphic , not for kids . I wonder why Michael Douglas always gets into these bad sex situations . ( Fatal and Basic ) Watch it on TBS . Give it a grade of 70 % I would love to see part 2 . Maybe Moore gets her revenge . |
403,212 | 453,228 | 289,765 | 6 | Ok | Spoiler ! ! ! ! I am getting a little tired of the series , they lose originality like Star Wars , and James Bond with number 4 . Like Man Hunter , the original , some parts work and others do not . I like the Hannibel off of Man Hunter better , he scares me more . The ending of Man Hunter is a lot better ; Red Dragon show's how Hannibel is captured , and more details of the Tooth Fairy . If you watch both films , many identical lines , and scenes , while other have slight variations . I never read the book , but I hear Red Dragon is closer to the book . Michael Mann's Man Hunter is more a Heat / Miami Vice style . Worth watching , but do not watch Man Hunter first . |
403,303 | 453,228 | 53,580 | 6 | Cheese movie | I remember watching this film with a Alamo aniversery . After all its years the film still is interesting , but the acting is cheesie . The ending saves this film , I like the big fire fight with the Mexicans . The slaves , and women where left to tell the tale . Watch it late night when you can not sleep . |
403,057 | 453,228 | 244,000 | 6 | Surprised | I thought this movie would be awful , but I was surprised . This film is not great , and done on a low budget , but has some entertainment value . They have the James gang portrayed as good guys in this film , not a realistic version . Timothy Dalton plays a good role as Pinkerton . In the end this film is a little like Raiders of the Lost Ark . |
403,035 | 453,228 | 83,972 | 6 | This is a fun movie . | Well , having nothing better to do and renting the whole video store out , I went to the horror section , to desperately rented a video I did not see before . It caught my eye , because of the 3-D edge to it , I told my wife what the hell lets rent it , its gotta be better that badly dubbed Italian film Zombi . Anyways , I always wanted to see a 3D film , and when this came out with other 3D films in the early 80's my dad didn't take me to any of them , because the fad ended faster then it began . I tried to envision the 3D as I watched it in 2D , and this film probably was alot freakier in 3D , with the effects of yo-yo's , juggling , flaming cole pokers , spear guns , eye poppings , pitch forks , and flying pop corn . The opening credits would have been great on 3D too . My dad said they got the yo-yo idea from Vincent Price's House of Wax . Not to drag on , I found this movie much better then the first . One the budget is much higher , and two the film does not take it self to seriously . This is a date movie , with alot of cheese in it , they made this film with alot of shock in a humorous way . It had a great post disco theme music , and gags like , ( remember this is before safty seals , and after watching this I am happy they put them on products . ) a store owner who eats and drinks out of containers before resealing them . He eats some of his fish food while feeding the fish , and finds out it has poo in it . The prankster who does stupied trick , to keep you guessing if its the real killer . The pot heads who act like Jim off Taxi . The plot here is not that scary , Jason does not talk , there is no motive , etc , he just walk around and kills . ( well I work at the post office and people do motiveless stupid things all the time , but thats besides the point ) Motives help horror films , and the acting is better then the first , but the actors don't have mush room to play with the script . The ending is a bit scary , but in all this is a movie that will make you laugh at sick humor , more then scare you . 3D shock horror . |
403,296 | 453,228 | 59,740 | 6 | Not bad , but slow in spots . | Dean Martin and John Wayne as brothers what a laugh , I guess Charlie Sheen and John Malkavitch will be next . Good film that has its moment , and a bit dated in spots . It still holds up tho . Watch it on Duke week . |
402,412 | 453,228 | 271,454 | 6 | Not bad | The Left leaning can really ruin a film , and I was expecting the worse . I was surprised with this film , except for the dramatizations of Haig , this film is somewhat accurate . Panic , disorganization , big time mistakes ( ie the ex midterm ) do happen . Agency in-fighting , phones not working is part of our imperfect world . The devil takes advantage of us when we are at our weakest . Maybe , someone can answer this question , but I do believe Weinberger , and Haig did not get along ? How much of this is overdramatized I do not know . What I did like is they showed at the end , Haig loves his country , and did his best to help and lead in a time of crisis . What I really hate is that they left out that the US had to show that Reagan was strong , for the cold war sake , Bush and the rest knew this . This is part of the art of war . Did they really ask the secret service to leave the operating room , some many facts I did forget . I could imagine the stress the oval office has and what could be done in a time of crisis , like .

402,318 | 453,228 | 90,859 | 6 | Comic book junk food for the mind | Spoiler Well the Stallone bashers are out in full force for this film . I do not mind it ; Stallone does comic book action heros well , Rambo , Judge Dredge , etc . I like these forms of escapism , take them for what they are junk food for the mind . This film is not a steak , its a 7-11 pizza sub sandwich , which goes well with a coke . The begaining is great , after that the story laps into a comic book style , with a high body count ending , along with the big entertaining action movie fight for the climax . I gave it a 6 , as I get older the film gets cheesier like the Pizza sub , but in the macho 80's as a teenager this film would be a 8 . Even as I get older I still watch this one on TBS , and can not stop watching it no matter how many times they show it , until my wife makes me change the channel . Its fun to watch , but its not for everyone , and all the Stallone basher out there , you crap on this guy , but have you seen Hard to kill or Out for Justice by Steagal I mean those are some pretty desperate low budget films . |
402,768 | 453,228 | 120,888 | 6 | Very 80's | I do not dislike this film , and some of it is very 80's . It is no Caddy Shack , but it not Vacation 2 either . I like the Don Johnson , and Billy Idol part . The Van Halen shirt bit was good also . It is an okay comedy , but has it slow parts . Worth watching on TV . Survey says |
403,008 | 453,228 | 398,165 | 6 | a second or 3rd movie rental for the night . | a 3rd rental for a movie night . T L Y is a by the numbers comedy , and performs the comedy by the numbers well . Enertaining movie , but no GroundHog Day . Very MTVish , and has a bit of the MTV style message with the film . The viewer will notice a few named actors , and a few named wrestlers , and football players . The Radiers Romanouski is in the film along with Stone Cold Steve Austin , and Kevin Nash . The football is executed well . Better than what the preview shows . A few parts could be cut on the floor . Well directed . Adam Sandler does a decent job , and finally stops doing the weird dumb and dumber humor . ( the weird humor got too much after the 3rd movie ) Very close to the original movie . Do not watch the original first before seeing the remake . Over all I would suggest renting The Longest Yard remake , but with another movie with it . |
402,649 | 453,228 | 817,538 | 6 | Just another comedy . | I like Drillbit Taylor . Funny in spots , well direct , and has a interesting story . However , the movie dragged , and some parts were more sad than funny . I believe Owen Wilson's personality carried the movie . The material ( script ) Wilson had to work with is stale , and Wilson added life to a very forgettable film . Comedy is hard to create , and to maintain a comic synergy for over an hour is hard . The movie is watchable , and rent able . Would I buy it ? No ! I did not mind it . The movie is no Caddy Shack , but no Ishtar either . Good cheep Tuesday movie on a cold Canadian night . I think everyone knew a bully and how desperate one gets with them . The way the teachers , and parents do not care or maybe they are just dumb is a little to close to reality . Funny but not in a humorous way . We laugh at them not with them . |
402,733 | 453,228 | 448,157 | 6 | A poor version of Ironman | With Ironman and the Hulk we now have Hancock . I did not mind Handcock , but the movie is just OK . Humor plays a huge role for the movie . The humor saves the movie from being forgettable , and the scripts kills the movie with a sad storyline in the 2an half . The Hulk and Ironman had the huge climax , while Handcock was more anti-climatic . Not the worse movie , but I would not buy the film either . My friend knew the guy who wrote the comic or story . I went to see how the film played out . 6 dollars out of 10 for movie entertainment . Why is there so many superhero movie out there ? I wonder if there is going be one too many superhero movie out there . Batman this week ? I wonder what will be in the next 2 weeks . |
402,737 | 453,228 | 335,245 | 6 | Profanity alert | For those with kids or my case renting this with my mother in mind don't do it . When I rent a Quentin movie like Pulp Fiction I have a good idea of what to expect . This movie is too much ; my guess is people look for the shock value , well I don't listen to rap , and the writers use some of the shocking language for the movie's script . Enough of my tirade , and on with the movie review . Hanks ' career has been in the dumps for the last seven years . More roles like this one , Tom will hit the skids like Bill Murray , and Chase . Tom Hanks should do an epic type role , for this would be fresh and would fit into Tom's acting style . For comedy to work there has to be a flow to it . The shock attitude and elongated scenes hurt this flow . There are a few very funny scenes , usually with the ex Viet-Cong general , and the garbage boat . I guess the boat is used to dump garbage into the ocean . The story is interesting to follow , I bet if they made this story into an action / drama there is a script too work with . Mike's review is . Rent it with your girlfriend or wife , but not your mother . |
402,713 | 453,228 | 88,333 | 6 | Typical rich preppies | This movie is a typical 80's comedy . It is another college movie . Some of the humor does not age well . The overall story is interesting . It is the typical losers versus the rich preppies . The preppies always had to be rich , blond , jocks and total jerks . The losers always consisted of the obese guy , geek , partyier and the smooth talking leader . Tim Matheson seems to be king of these movies . Of course in these movies they have to exploit the female anatomy . |
403,072 | 453,228 | 271,367 | 6 | Not bad | This film fun B schlop , but lacks enough testosterone . It tries to be like a 50's or 70's B horror film , and many parts they copied some of it well . What they lacked was a macho , over the top hero B actor like William Shanter to make it so bad its good . David can not do this and it lack something because of this . Too bad Shanter got old I really miss that over acting , but the special effects have improved over the years . Ok rental . . |
402,700 | 453,228 | 77,504 | 6 | Not bad not good | Funny in a dark sort of way . I like the ending , and Burt Reynolds is funny in a sick way . This film is dated , and looks very 70's . The material is older , but still has some laughs . I caught about a quarter of it , after not seeing it for 10 years , and found it ok , but it depend what mood I am in when I watch it . I would watch it again on TBS but probably chanel surf at the same time . |
402,588 | 453,228 | 75,359 | 6 | Insomia reliever | Late night yesterday I could not sleep , and TV is usually awful . I hate infommercials , bald paint hairspray etc . Anything half decent is a relief and this film is half decent . What scares me is what was once a movie script and laughed off is now believable . Too many random crazy people around . where do all these evil people come from ; as a Christian I pray for this world for I fear what the future brings . Back too the movie , what hurts the film is the flat character roles of the fans . 70's movies not all of them , have people with nasty attitudes , what is with this . Was it like that with the 70's ? I know people have worse attitudes with all the springer people around , but usually going to a game puts people in a good mood , or until their team performs a stinker . Hey , Joe Kapp , the BC Lions president , is in this film . Great football coordination the game looks real . Once the focus goes off the bad attitude and flat characters the move gets interesting with what is Chuck and the swat leader going do . I believe they would of got rid of the guy sooner before the assailant caused the humane stampede . Charles Heston we need hero's in this world and I like how he handles the bad guy . |
403,137 | 453,228 | 77,523 | 6 | Dated , and one of Clints weeker ones | I would not call this a bad film ; it is dated for the 70's which creates lame humor for 00's . The films weak points is a weak script , his girl friends lead role , and the annoying mom . ( She is part of the dated comedy ) What saves this film , and makes it 6 instead of a 3 , is the bar fight at the beginning , the monkey , I love watching the bikers get chased thourgh the driving range but the rest of the chase is too much , and the fight scenes . ( Except for the motor cycle gang one ) I do not know why this road movie script drags Clint taking his brother and girl friend around , but it is added in order to provide the plot twist with cop , and meeting Tank whatever his name . In the end , you can see why Clint make a smart decision . |
402,561 | 453,228 | 325,710 | 6 | Started out strong , but became sappy . | The Last Samurai , started out strong , but like the Samurai in the movie it faded away with time . The ending was too sweet , too sappy and too much . I never understood why the man who modernized Japan , became the villain . The Industrialist fulfilled his obligation to the Emperor . In conclusion , Cruise fits well with the movie , but I hate the character Cruise evolves into . I give it a . |
402,586 | 453,228 | 382,992 | 6 | Run of the mill summer movie | Run of the mill summer movie . Action , flesh , and romance in a summer movie . The staple of any summer movie . Stealth has Biel and Lucas as leads , and both actors perform well considering the material given . Foxx why did you take that role ? I hope Foxx's answer is money . What worked is the plane look real , and I could see pilot-less planes one day . What did not work . Why would a computer download music ? Answer for the movie soundtrack , in order to sell CD's . Why did the computer go haywire ? The question should have been answered . I like the Alaska and North Korea bit , but a little too Ramboish . . It is an okay movie , save it for a rental on a rainy night . |
403,114 | 453,228 | 120,915 | 6 | Too much like the first and third | Too much like the first and third installments . I liked Jarr Jarr , and the young Obe-One , and the older guy , but the story lacked . The race scene did not get across well on the big screen , but was a good idea on paper . Why did they kill Darth-mall , he was the best character in the film ! They always kill the good bad guys ! I thought Obe cheated in the fight , with that little dirty trick of picking up his saber , and cutting the guy when he is looking down , but I guess he could not beat him any other way . If you watch the film you can see who the Dark Over Lord is , a bit of foreshadowing . I gave it a 6 . |
402,775 | 453,228 | 77,355 | 6 | scary concept but believable | Spoiler ! This film has a scary concept to it especially if it was true . I guess people will do anything for money even selling human organs . I can't imagine going in for a simple procedure and ending up in a coma . If you have health issues maybe stay away from this film . It makes you not trust the system . The medical equipment looked so old ie . glass bottle iv's . Thankfully we have come along way from this era . I wonder if this movie did well back in 1978 . Neat concept about hanging from wires to prevent bed sores . The acting was not the best . Tom Selleck has a cameo appearance when he was younger before magnum PI . |
402,736 | 453,228 | 365,748 | 6 | Good but not Great | Hearing so much about ' Shaun of the Dead ' built my expectations high . ' Shaun of the Dead ' is a parody of zombie movies with ever day life ; any generation Xer will get the factory / service industry humor . Xers live a very left out , hard paced , brain dead Zombie existence . I can relate to this humor with my job , and the people around me . Over educated Xer's expect more , and have seen a depressing decline in the quality of life , while parents and other generations sometimes do not understand us ; the family part of the movie explains this perfectly . Life seems pretty bad after college were one makes all their contacts . There is a lot of social humor about gen X in this film . Many people who live in such situations need a childish friend like Shaun has which Shaun needs for stress releases . No one else understands why Shaun hangs out with his loser friend , but this friend keeps Shaun sane . The Zombie humor would not work if done on this side of the Atlantic ; the British have a flair for dry ( in a good way like dry red wine ) foolish humor . The she's drunk scene was great , along with the dad turning off the car radio . Comedy is hard to do , and the film's makers got away with making a funny movie with such a hard concept . Worth renting the DVD over the going to see it . 6 or , but I probably buy the movie . I love dry humor . One part of the movie that surprised me is how similar the service industry is marketed with North American style Best Buy and Wal-Mart shops . |
403,373 | 453,228 | 1,013,752 | 6 | More the same ! | More the same . Lots of eye candy both human and auto in this film . A thin formulated by the numbers script . However the stunts were OK . Paul Walker saves this movie . Paul Waler is a good actor . However Paul always play in b movies . Maybe , Paul should do b horror movies for a career change . If one includes Walkers acting and the stunts The Fast and Furious , is it four or five , is entertaining . My wife like the movie . However I found the movie just OK ; A movie rental night film . I give The Fast and the Furious a . I hope the producers of The Fast and the Furious do not make a part six or seven . Enough already . |
402,635 | 453,228 | 314,353 | 6 | No Black Hawk Down | Spoiler This film lacks the realism of Black Hawk Down , but Black Hawk Down is about real events , and this is a Hollywood script . I do not believe , Willis would ever be given Comand again after almost killing his chalk . I give the movie credit for fighting the PC Moore crowd and showing the truth of the brutiality that exists in the third world . Maybe , Willi's character defies his orders , because of past guilt form other missions . There is some syrupie , Hollywood , scenes with the locals , and the lead actres that makes me laugh . This film trys to show another end of the Americian specturm , with out the Moore crowds out dated they kill children , and the CIA is behind a dirty White House back stab conspiracy . America is dammed if they do , and dammed if they don't dated scripts get more boring , each and every year . Funny , how a book in France has a story where is a conspiracy of the right wing military contractors , would such a conspiracy book be published about the Hollocost or other tragic world events . This film is worth renting on a Friday night after a long week of work , |
403,328 | 453,228 | 101,701 | 6 | Candy saves this film . | It , ok to watch . A low budget rewrite , that is slow in spots . It has its moment . The way John Candy acts in some of the scenes is so stupid its funny . I love it when Robert Wagners is added into the mix . Worth watching late night . |
403,039 | 453,228 | 240,462 | 6 | hard to say | If you like these kind of movies , then its funny . My wife loves these kinds of movie , and enjoyed this . Its amazing how well they can train bears , some of the stunts are incredible . The voice overs couldn't be done better . My opinion of the film is its cute , but not many surprises in this one . I laughed at this film , and comedy is the hardest thing to do , but I did not find this better the average comedy . Its funny , but not ps your pants funny . |
403,196 | 453,228 | 195,714 | 6 | This film is not as good as the second ! | The second film had a great car crash , and a strong beginning , but got weaker as the film continued . The first film is wimpy , and the lead is a wimp also . The film get stronger as it progresses , as if they where learning as they wrote the script . I love the ending , and the films ending fit in with it philosophy . Watch the second one first . |
402,389 | 453,228 | 71,110 | 6 | One of the better ones . | This film I saw 9 years ago , isn't that bad . A bit dated , and the acting looks old . Still a strong story , that could be retold today . Must have been great in 74 . One of the better disaster movies , I remember as a child in the 70's . I would rent it , but not get over excited about it . Good cheap night film ! |
402,777 | 453,228 | 330,793 | 6 | Not comic bookish enough | I love the comic book style movies . Rambo , Judge Dredge , Batman , had a comic book style . The other Punisher movie was unbelievable , but had the non-seriousness for making the movie digestible . This film is too dark and serious for the genre . The movie is not bad , but not great either . My wife liked it , but this film is not for children . I found the build up took too long . The first 10 minutes were great , but the movie's build up gave little room for character development . I do not know if the director intended on the viewer knowing little about the Punisher , but I wish the director gave us more . It has good action sequences . In the end , I would rent this one over going to the theater . Mike's pick would be |
402,297 | 453,228 | 279,111 | 6 | Drags in spots , but not bad . | This movie drags in spots . The Irish soldier and the cook were dead weight , and Stonewall's wife is another aspect they could do without . Robet Duval plays a minor role , and they should have expanded his . What works with this film is the battle scenes , and Jeff Daniels . I love his Rubecon speech . " We just passed the Rubecon , no turning back . Hail Ceasar , Hail vitory " ; and I sort of hail this film . I hope part 3 is better than the first 2 . |
403,374 | 453,228 | 448,011 | 6 | Ending was awful . | knowing was OK . The first 3rd was OK . Who were these people ? What was with the predictions ? Did Cage lose his mind ? These subplots made for an interesting story for the first two thirds of the story . However , the ending is so stupid . 1 hour build up for this ending ! No thanks ! The story needs a rewrite . The ending is the most depressing I have seen in years . Everyone dies . We all get fried by a solar burst . Why was there no high winds at the end ? For those who know astronomy that would be a good question . . I would not even rent this movie . The movie was not bad ; I can name many worse movies . However I found the move too out there , and the ending way too depressing . |
403,208 | 453,228 | 105,553 | 6 | Not bad for a HBO made for TV movie | This film is an entertaining watch , not bad for a HBO movie . Denny's performance is good as usual ; has a made in Canada feel , my guess probably Toronto . Toronto seem to substitute for many American cities . The film has a gutsy , realistic feel to it , and is made honestly . It you like reading books on these issues , you will like this film . Not a great film but I would watch it again . |
402,954 | 453,228 | 389,722 | 6 | It was OK | My wife and I went out to see 30 days of night . Monica , my wife , says the movie was OK . It would be awful to have 30 days of nights , and worse to have vampires around , which is the premise of the movie . How could the survivors live if the vampires could smell the human's blood ? Well directed and acted . 30 days is similar to ' the thing , with the gross vampires , gross effects and the winter isolation which give a gloomy feel . The vampires wanted to leave no survivors so people would believe that vampires was just a myth . Hence , the vampires could continue on their feedings . I hate the end , but the end was original . My wife give a 5 , but I give the movie a . Definitely a rental |
403,124 | 453,228 | 426,883 | 6 | I find the movie sad ! | I find the movie sad . ( How bad people want to fit because of peer pressure . ) The movie is like a university sociology course . When one watches the story of people wanting to fit into a group , which is a human need , and others trying to be the Alpha male . I say find another group with out phony conditional friends . I have read about people doing unthinkable crime and other things because of peer pressure , either to look good or fear of ridicule . The one who does the evil deed of murder is the most ridiculed and most desperate . The leader ( of these not harden rich wannabe boys in the hood run social group ) runs into a harden , who did time , criminal . The prove yourself to the group leader of these silly events , conflict with the harden ciminal , fuels the movie . Even the victim wants to fit in . I found the movie sad because of this . I don't want to just hang out with the crowd . Sometime being the Old WCW wrestling character Raven who walks away from the everyone is a good thing . No one had the courage to stand up . I don't know if the movie is good or bad I just found Alpha Dog hard to watch . |
402,773 | 453,228 | 95,016 | 6 | The Die Hard that started them all . | I hate this one , but the story and action saves this film . I believe it must be Willis character . Reminds me of a jerk in high school that is popular , but everyone only pretends to like him ; Or someone at work who has to over prove all the time , and you wish he would just walk away ! At least Willi's character can back his actions , which is better than alot of 30 an 40 year olds who run around living in denial . I guess this over macho 80's bi-product is the shame of my generation . It has a lot of sappy Hollywood cliches . The over syrupie cop who can not fire his gun , and why did they have the Run DMC limo driver in this film , what did he add to this film . The boring over done gender conflict the action hero has with his wife . I do not know if this is because of Raider of the lost Ark , but the late 80's early 90's where full of blond bad guys , how over done . Every late 80's action film has to copy 48 hours swearing to prove how macho one is . Despite this baggage the action saves this film . The fire fight , the chopper explosion , and rocket attack make this film exciting . I would watch this film , but probably route for the bad guys . |
402,594 | 453,228 | 418,819 | 6 | Not bad but I did not like the ending | Land of the Dead is not a bad movie . The first of Land of the Dead is interesting and the director's pace is great . The city and the concept of survival is great . The flat character is cartoonish . I hate this . Dennis Hopper is too evil , the burnt face guy is too side kickish . The only believable characters are the Latino character and the lead blond character with the two characters interaction gives a round character personalities . The troops and the union guy , please give us a little more stimulation . What bothers the viewer in the last of the film is the ending and plot holes . 1 How did the Zombies cross the river with the current ? Low current season . 2 My wife mentioned the black gas station zombie was he really a zombie ? The gas station Zombie never eats anyone , and looks less like one ? 3 I find it hard to believe the Zombies just march on through the city the way they did . Was the city overwhelmed . The soldiers look too stupid . 4 the city's defence looks too much like a joke . 5 With the 3 rivers why did they not call the city Pittsburgh ? I know I am being a bit hard on the Land of the Dead , but the film has so much potential . I would have liked more Zombies in the film and they swarmed the city ( ie like Starship Troopers ) The machete zombie is a nice tribute . . Good rental |
402,696 | 453,228 | 79,858 | 6 | Funny in a 70's way | Funny in a 70's way . This film I enjoyed as a kid , but seeing some of it as and adult , the move was too much . I guess as a child I seen movies in a childish way , and as an adult opinions change . There still is a few funny moments , but this movie is dated in a 70's way . I give this one a 5 or . |
403,381 | 453,228 | 86,352 | 6 | Saw half of it ten year age and watched the other , when I finally found it at a video store | 3 for 1 night at pick a flick , what a deal for $5 . 49 . I rented 3 80's college movies . This one , Up the Creek , and Revenge of the Nerds . I saw this film 9 years ago when I was unemployed , on late night . I finally could fall asleep , and missed the second half . I wondered how it ended . I found this old beat up coppy , and second time around it was ok , I found the movie 9 years ago a break from Political Correctness . I don't think Hillary Clinton would like this . Around that time some films where portarying male jocks as retards , who owed an apology to everyone . I realize growing up in the 80's alot of these beer commercial guys where shallow , self centered , and lacked depth , but it is nice that this pc craze died and we can breath and laugh again . With movies like American pie etc . What I like about this film is the music , the attitude , and juvenile fun . It reminds me of my friends , but this film has no great humor here . A scene that hurts your stomach with laughter ; a light hearted film |
403,263 | 453,228 | 337,549 | 6 | CBC's attempts for rating with something other than hockey | Other than Hockey Night in Canada there is not much to watch on CBC ; most of there Politically correct shows have a boring theme like ( a ) someone writing a book , ( b ) some cultural crap or ( c ) a overwhelmingly left wing news show that riddles the viewer with guilt and blame . I took a chance and watched CBC's attempt at the Soparno's . Quite , watchable , I was shocked , Michael Ironside in it , and that got me watching . I found part 2 lacked the steam of part one , but over all its just as good . The ending , is awkward like they did not know how to tie it up . I would rent it , or tape it from TV if they play it again . Ironside is one fine actor . |
402,853 | 453,228 | 77,745 | 6 | Interesting | Not the greatest film , but I liked it . Better writen then most of todays horror movies , and a great concept . Problem with the length of this film , they could of cut 15 minitues off , with Donald relationship with the other lead . Good f / x Spok & Goldblum , where entertianing . A little less running around , and more tention would have helped this film , but the ending is great . |
402,774 | 453,228 | 99,423 | 6 | Better than the first , but I do not like the series . | They try and make Ollie North look bad in this one . The film is entertaining , but I do not like the series . I do not know if it is Bruce Willis , or the PC hobnogen , but the films appear tired . Good action scenes , and interesting fights , but I would say Under Seige 2 is a much better comparable film . Watchable |
402,481 | 453,228 | 421,239 | 6 | A good stress reliever | Wes Craven is good at directing suspense . Red eye's style is a retro 70's made for TV , but on a bigger budget . I love the social message about rude and demanding idiots with the service industry sector . My wife worked in a casino with the gambling addicts and I see the message loud and clear . A good movie to see before my Canadian English Literature exam . I will use a few of the literature terms in my review . One can feel the pathos of the lead character in Red Eye . The epiphany is revealed with the lead antagonist message about what he is doing is for being well paid to send a message to the US government . The only flat character is the bad guy in the BMW . If one watches TBS late night which I do out of insomnia , the guy from chips is in this movie . Many of the screen pictures have a form and balance to it with cheer leading stuff and the mirror and the toilet in the plane's bathroom . One feels the ambiance with the props and the film's blue tinge surreal color . A good foreshadowing with the field hockey stick . Taking this course has changed the way I look at movies . There is a rhythm like in a poem where the viewer sees a cautionary message . Airplanes , a security adviser , and high tech gizmos . In the end , I give Red Eye a 6 or . A Friday late night movie . |
402,589 | 453,228 | 396,269 | 6 | Okay | A six or . The actors did a good job . Vince and Owen were okay . The movie dragged in spots , I expected the movie to be stupid , but the movie dragged in a couple of spots . Will Ferrell appeared in the last third and saved the film . Will can be funny , but in a strong way like Ajax . To much much Will can kill a movie , but Will is great in a supporting role , and Will saves the Wedding crashers by himself . The last third of the movie was dying , and Will gave it fresh material . Typical low-end humor , in old school style , but not over done . Christopher Walken plays a very small role , and does not perform any humor . Walken can be very funny , like the Jayman in Envy . Not a bad film . |
402,535 | 453,228 | 66,921 | 6 | One of my better movies from my English Lit course | Taking Dr Morton class in English lit / philosopy I found this the best book in the lot , and movie . The movie transends the book well . The story in the movie is better with the missing chapter , but the book is more complete with the extra chapter . The extra chapter makes my essay on what is evil easier . Read the book for the extra Chapter . Now , on with the movie . It is interesting , and the director get the feel right . I like how they ended it , and it shows that violence be gets more violence . Not for everyone . |
402,745 | 453,228 | 346,491 | 6 | A pale comparison to the movie Troy | Oliver Stone's ' Alexander ' is a pale comparison to the movie ' Troy ' . ' Alexander ' is not a bad movie , but not good either . The acting is excellent with the cast , and a story one can follow . When Oliver Stone make a film , 20 minutes can be cut out or the movie drags . 60'd type drug effects in parts of the movie , like Stone's other film ' The Doors ' , not needed . Too much of Alexander's wife in the film . I give Stone credit this is a hard task to create . ( Epic films have to be though and history left to interpretation ) Stone's ' Nixion ' was a better film , but of course personal interpretation leaves room for error . I did not mind the film . There is a but in here , and the but is . Even with the big screen I would suggest wait for video . . I might like it more if I watch the film a second time and pick more up . I wonder what their wine tasted like back then ? |
402,937 | 453,228 | 450,326 | 6 | Blood and skin . What more could one expect from this title ? | My friend , Tony , put it this way " Skin and Blood " what more could the producers put into this movie to get ratings . The staples of any spring break slash horror movie . What is wrong with you people who complain about this movie with a title " Springbreak Shark Attack " ? Were your expectations that high ? Any 19 year-old or 40 year-old adolescent ( who works at Canada post ) who lives at home with their mother would be glued to the TV screen . Thankfully , I grew out of that stage , but still like a laugh enjoyed this film . Mind you , I only caught the last of this movie . The movie is cheesy , but in a provolone way . Has a decent story with the club owner , and they put the creep / relationship soap opera part in which my wife got involved with deeply and the parent conflict . Actually made the film where everyone watched the story . Everyone new the surf dude with the water recliner and a drink was going get it . Shark time chomp , well that goes with the title . Tension is created with the shark scene , better than most TV with a social message movie Schulz . If " Spring Break Shark Attack " was meant to be entertainment then the goal was achieved . Nothing like HBO or in Canada Showtime exploitation stuff that is just weird , this is very tame compared to cable . . |
402,963 | 453,228 | 425,061 | 6 | I thought Get Smart would be funnier ! | I hate Hollywood when they show a trailer with the funniest parts of the movie and that's it . I thought Get Smart would be funnier because of this . Funny in spots , but not like the more funnier scenes where show en in the movie trailer . Not a bad movie , but not a good one either . A movie rental . Soon to be on a pay per view near you . Predictable , by the numbers comedy / action film . I did not mind the movie . Worth watching after a week of work . I wonder if there will be a Get Smart 2 . My wife thinks the film is just OK . My wife also though the show would be funnier because of the TV series . Keep it real everyone . I hate having to write 10 line . I think I have 10 lines now . Ha Ha . |
402,579 | 453,228 | 396,171 | 6 | I hated this film . Perfume smells like a fart . | My wife wanted to rent this film . A guy makes perfume off dead girls and because of the smell can memorize people and get away with murder . After watching this film , and the guy eventually dies the viewer feels riped off emotional . The film is so silly and stupid I wish they did something more with it . Too much a art form and not a movie . Maybe they could have used a UFO in it I don't know . . The film is watchable enough , but why waste one's time . I should have worked out instead . Film was kind sick and slimy . Perfume smells More like a fart ! Leaves a bad smell in the air . I can see why I don't remember it in the movie house . |
402,360 | 453,228 | 88,161 | 6 | Doesn't get better with age | This film is ok I give it a . Looks cheesey know when I watch on cable . Tom Hanks play a good role , but John Candy steals the show with his Johny La Rue character . " It's not that you drank too much , but you don't weigh enough . " Darral Hanna had a short carrier , but this is her second best role after " Pope of Greenwich Villiage . " Watch this one on TV , nothing to rent . |
402,946 | 453,228 | 306,364 | 6 | I like it | I like it . I agree with the other person's views that Fox is more entertaining . Williams is a good anchor . The news leans towards the left of the political spectrum . I think the personal opinion criticism journalism hurts the media for no one knows when the reporter is right about an issue or is just giving a opinion . . I guess the what is truth issue has been around since Plato . The media is more honest these days . Williams at least gives you an opinion and lets the viewer know where he stands . I like the up front opinion of Williams . I like when a anchor say he or she is a Republican or a Democrat . Williams did a good interview on Conan . Hurricane Forget about it , funny ! |
402,439 | 453,228 | 242,445 | 6 | First half a 9 and the second half a 3 | The first half of this film is fun to watch . It has humor , action , and does not take itself to seriously . I like the scene where Stegal goes to a anger management class , but and there is a but in this review . The film loses steam in the second half . Unbelievable plot twists , the usual by the number action sequences , which tie up the movie in a boring ending . |
402,998 | 453,228 | 830,515 | 6 | Not bad not good . | Quantum of Solace is not a bad movie or a good movie . The movie is a mix of the older Sean Connery James Bond movies and The Jason Bourne movies . The action is identical to the Jason Bourne movies . On a personal note , I like the Bourne movies better . Quatum of Solace is only a 1 and a half hour movie . A little too short for my taste . I heard the reason for the short running time was the last Bond movie would be too long and the 1 and a half hour movie Quantum of Solace is the continuation the last Bond story . The movie is based off the book Casion Royal and books usually make for long movies . Craig , the new Bond lacks the humor of the older Bonds , a part which is needed to relieve the intents action of the films . I give Quantum of Solace Spies . OK to go out and see , even better to rent . |
403,073 | 453,228 | 70,666 | 6 | Movie ages poorly | This movie ages poorly , they can do so much better camera work , acting , and script writing today . It's not a bad movie either . If the movie is that accurate about the police , we can thank Serpico for its reforms . Question I asked myself during the movie is why have a police department if everyone is on the take . Good thing internal affairs was created as a result , even the good cops were afraid because no one policed the police . |
403,126 | 453,228 | 77,766 | 6 | More the same ! | This film is nothing special , it is just more the same . With some new twists . The shark is very hungry and Broady's older son wants to hang out with the teenagers they all are into boating , and take the chance of becoming potential shark food . I was rooting for the shark in this one . Its not bad , it's watchable , but far inferior to the original . I would give this a 6 out 0f 10 |
