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 gr...

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 subti...

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...

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 ...

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 . Th...

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 w...

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 ...

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 ...

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 s...

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .

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...

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 .

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 thi...

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...

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 !

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 t...

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 pass...

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 ...

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 issu...

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...

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 frien...

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 ca...

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 t...

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 .

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 at...

A little less running around , and ...

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

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 b...

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 mo...

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 ...

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 mo...

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 .

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 seque...

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 to...

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 ...

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 ...
