403,224 | 453,228 | 399,146 | 7 | Not a bad movie graphic in many ways | The film is about a study in violence . A man with a good standing in a peaceful community is throwing into a violent situation , and his violent past catches up with the media attention of being a hero . The film has many levels of violence . The true evil violence of the 2 individuals that kill rape for violence sake . The protagonist who try to avoid violence . the protagonist son who deal with violence at school , and professional criminal who control and respect violence . All the sub stories have the same theme violence creates fear and fear controls people . The son's situation and the two criminals at the dinner enjoy the control and fear in a sadistic way . The higher criminals respect violence for the real danger that violence represents . Business for the profession , is what comes first and violence / fear is a part of business even when approached with personal insults the situation is handled professionally . Is violence instinctual or intellectual ? The final question can a violent man change ? Is asked in the film . Go see the movie and answer the questions for yourself . The film gave myself yes to both the answers . |
402,383 | 453,228 | 963,794 | 7 | OK movie had me guessing | The Ruins preview is dishonest for portraying the movie as awful . A interesting storyline entwined with good character development . Amazing special effects which make the film . I like the surprise problem , of what or who the movie antagonist is . Why was it there . To protect the sight ? What happens when someone leaves the sight . There is a whole lot of questions . Too bad the viewer could never understand what the villagers were saying . The Mexico vacation bit with the drunk girlfriend is way too real . I like how the movie ends . tropical drinks for The Ruins . Rent the Ruins or go out on date night . A lot of fun . I think we will see a few of these actors in many more films . |
403,351 | 453,228 | 925,446 | 7 | old school | Not a bad show . When society breaks down the system goes back to bartering . The town has Representatives go down to a trading post in order to get much need supplies . The young kid break a rule , and stealing is punished by dark ages law . The ending is interesting . A few soap opera plot twists . . This episode is a crux in how societal breakdown is effecting America . What is next on the scene . I bet the future is bleak . One of the better shows . The guy from Simon and Simon is a great actor . Watch this one . Reminds me of the Road Warrior . This show keeps it real . Maybe . I cannot wait til February for the next season . Skeet has turned into not a bad actor . |
402,626 | 453,228 | 98,141 | 7 | Cartoon PBS type movie | I like the cartoon Rambo / Batman movie when they are done well . This one is , and I can watch it no matter how many times TBS shows it . The comic book goes over well in film , and I get laughs . I like his death wish destructive side , because of the murder of his family . If you run out of ideas ; rent this one . PS The music score is good . |
402,974 | 453,228 | 119,994 | 7 | Surprised | This is a good movie , not a great one ; What would happen if you where framed for murder , in a strange land with strange laws , compared to your own . Fear is what this movie evokes , Richard Gear feels like an outsider , who is viewed of having western decident values , in a society where his lawyer states the groups importance over the individual in society . Admitance to guilt is considered aceptance of society's morality . This film gave me a sence of reality about communist society , and what its like in the comune part . Its a interesting movie . I read some of the reviews , and did not find this movie offenceive , it showed a side , but was not preachy . With movies like " The Texas Chainsaw Masacure , and Deliverence you see very few people complain that this is a bad sterotype of the south , most people find it a small picture of extremes not confused with the whole south . Thoes two movie went much farther then Red Corner . |
403,200 | 453,228 | 282,209 | 7 | This film will not age well , but its entertaining | People looking for a great Jack Nicholson film , with an incredible story should stay away from horror movies . Is the story believable no , or even plausible no , but is it entertaining , Yes . After having no sleep and working a ten hour shift , I was in prime condition to jump a few times during this film . When the theater is zoned into the movie , the movie is entertaining . Funny , that the horror crowd is female , and very young . I always thought it would be young and male . The adage that horror movies make for a good first date must be true . My wife likes this film , the ending is predictable , but the story is fresh , and has the support of strong acting . The days of bad acting , Friday the 13th horror films is hopefully over , except for those awful direct to video slasher types . |
402,305 | 453,228 | 87,480 | 7 | A good made for TV movie ! | Robert Urich was a fine actor , and he makes this TV movie believable . I remember watching this film when I was 15 , and when seeing it a second time my opinion stays the same . People lose who they were when enter this exclusive club , in a computer rich Californian town . Urich try's to figure out what is wrong with his family , and I love the Halloween space suit idea , brilliant . This film is about the battle of one's sprit . TV quality , that exceeds , the big budget , Gangs of New York . I wonder if Robert Urich was the compassionate man he portrayed in many of his movie ? I hope so ! 6 or . |
402,587 | 453,228 | 399,201 | 7 | One of the better movies this summer | If anyone reading this review can remember Space 1999 , which was on the space network for awhile , one can see where the Island got the set and costumes from . Not a bad movie . I like the idea of the island to keep the people under control . The rest of this is interesting like the movie Free Jack of many moons ago . Good acting and directing . The producer ( Bay ) makes very surreal movies . I don't understand the black guy , who is a hired gun , actions at the end of the movie . Bean always plays a bad guy . What would one do if they met themselves ? See The Island in the movie house . . Better than stealth a weak summer for movies . Wasn't there a movie called The Island with Michael Cain , which was on TBS a while back ? |
402,372 | 453,228 | 295,701 | 7 | Samual L Jackson steals the show | Spoiler ! ! ! Barre and Washington win awards ha ha ; Jackson is 100 times the actor . He makes this movie , I like the part where he say the 3 X's match three strikes . Vin Disil , will become a bigger actor , this guy is smart . Turning down big money for the awful Fast and Furious 2 for this film pumps up his career . The role is perfect for him and is marketed for the Y gen crowd . The sticker skateboarding is a crime is a dead give away . The film is entertaining , and cheesy all in one ; you'll see with that boat thing . Disil will eventually get his big role , which will either involve military or Jail . Maybe both , a remake of the Dirty Dozen . |
402,614 | 453,228 | 475,276 | 7 | Fresh Style | I like documentaries , and the documentary style of Greengrass is fresh ! The only negative is the bouncing camera work , I find it disorienting , and the bouncing gave my wife a headache . Using the real life people gave a documentary feel . No PC or political agenda just the actions of real people . The heroic behavior of everyone trying to save the country from the attack had to be told . The part with the controllers in the tower and the J Sac command gave realism similar to Black Hawk Down . Worth renting . I will never forget that horrific day , with the death of so many . I was shocked to see a few people at work happy about it . I guess this shows the evil in this world and how ugly evil is . . A movie onto itself . |
402,899 | 453,228 | 62,512 | 7 | Dated , but still a good film | This film is a bit dated , but is still enjoyable to watch . Spoiler This is the volcano James Bond film . Neat concept , and Donald Pleasent plays a small but effective role , as Bolfield . Bond has a few cool fights , but must the bad guys always kill people with trap doors . |
402,507 | 453,228 | 70,047 | 7 | Get me thinking | Finally , I watched this movie in it entirety . This movie made me think about what is evil ? Evil is vile , upsetting , and destructive . The movie showed this . The ending could have more than what it did . Not much bothers me , after what I have seen ; Working at the post office I have seen vile , upsetting , and destructive behavior . I wonder if some of that behavior could be the results of demonic influence ? Evil must be the free will choice of good . The viewer sees the absences of good in this movie . Hate and hate for God , I have seen too much of these destructive habit and this movie portrays evils attack on good in its true nature . |
402,659 | 453,228 | 364,725 | 7 | Very 80's | This film is very 80's the writers must have growen up in the 80's . Music , Ben's style , and the jym is very much 80's . Add chuckNorris and the humor style from Johnhy Daneriously you got retro . The jokes were funny , and the story is stupid , but it all works . Alotof knee in the midsection jokes , and jokes about American pop culter . I like the ESPN 8 idea , and the Jim McMahonanchor . This film is all right . I hope it last the test of time , but itcould be another comedy that is forgoten in 2 years . I give it a 7out of 10 . Worth going to the movie theartier . Any movie with William Shanter in it can not be that bad . He has got to be theworlds most famious Canadian . |
403,030 | 453,228 | 85,121 | 7 | Interesting | This film is interesting . A crazed , women killer who use the system for his own benifit . Bronson play a Death Wish type cop who resorts to vigalatism or dirty cop methods to stop this . I found my wife interested in this film , the horror aspect is like a made for TV movie marketed towards women . This is one of Bronson's better films ! |
403,315 | 453,228 | 64,757 | 7 | Ok story , but the lead actor is no James Bond | I liked George's acting as James Bond , but my wife thought he lacked the charm , and humor of Roger Moore . The story is great , and we can see why Bond should not get married . I liked the music score , and Telly plays a bad Blofeld ( I thought he would be European ) but my wife differs on this . I would not poop on this movie like many others do , but I do not like the beginning . |
402,485 | 453,228 | 477,348 | 7 | Not bad , but could have been a better ending | I believe the movie is about the randomness of life . All the random events , and choices lead to each character's fate . Order through chaos is the movies theme ! That is why the antagonist flips a coin , and gives people the choice of head or tails . The coin toss reflects fate and fates effect by choices one makes out of free will . That is why the antagonist went after the other characters wife , even when there was no reason for it , because the antagonist gave the character the choice to come in or his wife will die . The movie is interesting , and the story is good . I like how the two characters who let's call trouble shooter are disjointed with the world . Good at what they do , but are a Little out of touch . Just like this movie . . A good rental . Maybe that is why the ending is so disjointed . |
403,384 | 453,228 | 284,490 | 7 | Surprise ! It was funny . | When I saw Eddie Murphy as De Niro's co-star , I thought this movie was going to be awful . I was pleasently surprised . When Eddie Murphy does not produce , director or write his own material , he can be funny . Robert De Niro does comedy very well along with his action and drama movies . William Shatner does a cameo appearance . He has put on the weight . Rent this one , it is rather funny . |
402,345 | 453,228 | 162,222 | 7 | reminds me of the movie hell in the Pacific | Warning a bit of a spoiler don't read . Tom Hanks plays a stranded Fed Ex boss on a Island . The movie shows the contrast between his busy every second counts life , to the very mundane what time is it life on the island . In fact the push against the clock pushes him onto the plane and into the upcoming events . The choices his jobs requires changes plans which effects his personal life . I can relate well with this for my job and many other peoples job do this daily . On the Island there is very little dialog , but the viewer follows the story by his actions , very simular to the movie " Hell in the Pacific " with Lee Marven . He make the choice to leave the island or go insane , the twist in the story is what happenens to the environment he left 4 years ago . The movie ends quite nicly with him at a cross roads on a highway , which symbolizes the cross roads in his life . A good film , fresh , and a story that you could see once , and any remake would be very redunant |
403,383 | 453,228 | 111,282 | 7 | I like it ! | Interesting Science Fiction . I found the story interesting , and not too unbelievable . They find a star gate , and the military must find out what it is . I will not ruin this story , it is too good , and would be too big of a jerk for that . Russel and that other guys performances shine . Watch this one on TV . |
402,603 | 453,228 | 241,527 | 7 | Geared for children and child like minds | Spoiler ! ! ! I do not like how Harry's family treated him . It is surprising that a lot of families are like this . The parents spoil the one kid and mistreat the other . He was much better off at boarding school . I like the seeker game that was kind of neat . I like how they used owls to deliver the mail . Harry just looks like the ordinary kid next door . The roles were cast well . I thought the creepy looking guy was the bad guy but I was wrong . It shows you that one can not judge a book by its cover . It will be interesting to see the next one in the series . |
402,896 | 453,228 | 113,189 | 7 | Looks better second time around | I was in a stressful mood , while watching this film . It may affect my review , but I found the movie not that bad . Bronson's performance was much better then Daltons , and creates a upward movement for Jame Bond . M is a women now , and the series shows signs of change with out being too politically correct . Bond is called a dinasor by the new M , but is a likable one . The story jells well , and the action scene with the tank is interesting , but I believe they had to retake the ending of this film because its ending was to simular to True Lies . I could see this with the ending , and it took away from the film . One we do not see if the Russian generial was killed , ( a bad guy ) and M showed the stinger missiles in his car which is never used . Bond movies never leave these holes in them . Well a good first start out . |
402,756 | 453,228 | 286,716 | 7 | Eric Bana is a good actor . | After , a bad week my wife and I went to the Drive Inn to relax , and it rained . This ruined the movie experience , and might of affected my review . Parts of this film where great , but with the rain , and the windshield fogging the special effect parts where impaired . The film was slow in a few spots , but overall enjoyable . I enjoyed Eric Bana's acting after his debut in Black Hawk Down . I can hardly wait to see the sequel . I give this one a . |
403,219 | 453,228 | 408,790 | 7 | Kind of slow but improves with progress | Movie starts out OK , but slow for a while in the middle , and picks up pace at the climax . I was hoping the movie was not going to be another Stay or Jacob's Ladder , with all the in the mind plot . One feels the pathos of Jodi Foster's character . I never have been a big fan of Foster's , but Jodi picks up the pace in the second half . I just can not see anyone not remembering Jodi bringing a kid on the plane . I know I would have , but there would have been no movie without the plot twist . A few more plot twists . Were the people in the window the same people on the plane ? The movie does not answer this . Maybe not the angry guy , but the 2 others looked similar . I guess one will not know . The end is very over the top and makes the movie . Worth seeing or renting . I like Sean Bean , he reminds me of my grandfather . |
403,268 | 453,228 | 319,262 | 7 | Worth going to the big screen | The effect for this disaster movie should be seen on the big screen . I love the effects . The story itself is based on a theory that the ice age is induced by weather pattern changes from the ocean's currents . Sorry no meteor in this one . A little sappy and preachy but not the pc rubbish the left coast can create . The film is some what believable of how the United States would react to a New Ice Age . The next new world power would be Australia and Argentina if the Northern Hemisphere is wiped out , and everyone moves to Mexico . This movie follows all the disaster movie's topics such as people learning to adapt and improvise or die . My guess for " The Day After Tomorrow " if my science is right . Some of the coastal areas would be ok because of the Ocean's ability to absorb the cold . The US could do some ice blasting and moving and Paint the snow black in order to melt the ice faster and have the sun's rays absorb instead of reflect the heat would help with the battle with the new glacier . The U S would be the Gulf states and what is left around the Mexican border . Not a bad movie , one worth watching |
402,558 | 453,228 | 62,886 | 7 | Saw this one on the history network | Not bad for an older movie . The 60's is full of WW2 movie , and the Devil's Brigade is better than most . Fast paced , interesting , and the strong ending gives this film 7 stars . I wonder how much of this film is actually based on the true story . The movie appears realistic . |
403,317 | 453,228 | 76,752 | 7 | More humor than the others | This film is not as silly as " The man with the Golden Gun " , but not as serious as " For your eyes Only " this film is in the middle . I thought the film drags in the first half , but my wife disagrees . It has all the Bond saves the world excitement , with huge explosions at the ending . This film introduces the Jaws character to infuse some new blood for the Bond series . |
403,229 | 453,228 | 462,322 | 7 | The movie grinds down | I like Grind House , but the second film grinds the pace down . Too much dialogue , and build up for the films conclusion . What work's with the 2 films are the weird tales which keeps the viewers attention . Kurt Russel really had fun with the role of stuntman Mike , which reverberates on film . The smoke meat secret in the first film is great . Tom S does great special effects in the first film . Robert always injects dance artistically well into a movie . One day Robert and Chirstphore Walken should do a film . The fake trailers were hilarious . Hobbo and a shot gun is my favorite . Cage's spot in the SS wolf movie is a laugh too . Well acted for a film which is too fun to be taken seriously . Here is a question is Stunt man Mike a throwback for Snake in Escape from New York ? . Worth rent . However I would fast-forward a few spot in the second film |
403,055 | 453,228 | 76,723 | 7 | Dated but funny | This film helped ruin hockey , most people don't understand that fighting in hockey is usually done to protect the better player from getting hurt form a cheap body check , but enough of the hockey lecture . I seen this movie too many times , but it still makes one laugh . Some of the humor is dated , goes back to the 70's , but its still enjoyable too watch . I love Doctor Hook Mc Craken in this film , he plays a 70's hockey goon perfectly . |
402,350 | 453,228 | 146,675 | 7 | very Arnold | SpoilerA fresh change for Arnold over predictable , seen this done this , action flicks . Arnold plays a character never seen before ; a suicidal , depressed person who does not want to go on in life . Driven by anger , and his job he becomes involved in a duel with the devil . His character has no faith until the end when he sees the light . Arnold battles the Devil in the only way he would , with a machine gun , if you like his movies this one will not disappoint . |
402,786 | 453,228 | 305,396 | 7 | too many snakes | If you do not like snakes do not see this film ; there are a lot of snakes . This film was exactly like the show that is on the discovery channel . Steve Irwin has a lot of energy . I really liked the little joey part . I wish they would of had more parrots or cockatoos on the film as they have lots of them in Australia . The story is entertaining enough . They even have a George Bush look alike in it . If you like the show then you will like the movie . It is nice to see someone who enjoys their job . |
402,564 | 453,228 | 319,343 | 7 | Good | Spoiler Will will be the next Bill Murry . Not to many actors could pull this character off , and Willy did it ! Funny film , geared for the kids , but entertaining for adults too . The Santa is coming part is very good , and the fight with the department store santa is the best . I wonder if Willy can be this strange in real life too . Maybe he could play a movie about me if they ever did a movie on me . Well go out and watch it this for Christmas . Mike |
402,512 | 453,228 | 369,339 | 7 | Miami Vice meets Tom Cruse via Hitchcock | The story is very strong , and has the Michael Mann " You belong to the city " feel for it . Tom Cruse is the lesser of two lead actors in order to fit the role of Vincent . Tom , if I can call him that like I really know him , is a high mileage actor . Tom is good at his trade , but after using up similar characters over the years needed to re-invent the Tom Cruse persona . Maybe , next movie one might see an even darker Tom ; ( AKA a Nazi in a war movie , or as a evil spirit in a haunted house ) only Tom will know . " Collateral " has a Miami Vice or Heat feel that mixes a Alf Hichcock story with plot twists to it . A great date movie , when I was 17 or 21 and dating say my wife , as the girl friend of course , this movie would be great . Too be fair I need to watch this movie another time to give it a accurate rating , but I would tell everyone to go see it at the Drive In or Theater before Collateral is ready for on demand or DVD rental . 7 or . Tom email me and tell me what your going do next I am excited . |
402,316 | 453,228 | 113,492 | 7 | Comic book movie | A comic book movie , like the Punisher , and Batman . People will hit this movie for its story , acting etc , and I beg to differ on their opinion , this movie is a comic book movie and is meant not to be Terms of endearment , instead its a fantasy flick . Stallone know fantasy or comic book films with his creation of Rambo , and does a excellent Judge Dredge . This movie has a strong cast , of many recognizable faces who create strong performances . The story is along the lines of comic book , backed up with great special effects . I went to the theater expecting this , and give this one a thumbs up . |
403,118 | 453,228 | 454,919 | 7 | It is OK | Many people live their lives around the computer ; without having much human contact . Lives drained of real human contact . I like going out and wonder if the idea of the electronic world sapping ones soul of real living experiences inspires this movie . The preview is awful , but actually watching the film is a better experience . The concept and acting are great . The movie is comparable to an outerlimits episode . I love the doomsday style ending . I find the ending not to scary , for the electronics would die out after a while without proper up keep . The female actress Bell reminds me of that Buffy girl from the Grudge . I wonder if this movie was done in Japan first ? Pulse reminds me of The Ring and The Grudge ? Rent the DVD on cheap night like I did . |
402,483 | 453,228 | 397,101 | 7 | A good twist ! | The story for Skeleton Key does not leave any holes . The tension grows throughout the film . The viewer learns vital clues throughout the film . However , it is up to the viewer to put all the clues together to understand the vital plot twist . The acting and pace were great . The film was an original idea which is quite refreshing . The picture of the black servants with the white children is unusual and odd , but the ending will tie it up for you . I do not want to ruin it for anyone . It is too bad the property and house were so run down . It probably was something to see in its better days . The film will keep you on your seat . Do not go to the bathroom like I did because you will miss some vital clues . See it in the theater . |
403,067 | 453,228 | 243,585 | 7 | Just as good as the first | I thought this sequel was just as good as the first . Michael J . Fox is great as the voice for Stuart . I could not figure who was the little bird til the end . Melanie Griffith did a terrific job . I was surprised to see James Wood as a voice of the falcon , but as soon as I heard the voice I knew who it was . He always plays a great bad guy . The story is great as it continues from the first . It was different enough from the first that it was a good sequel . I believe kids will enjoy this film . It is great family entertainment . It has something for everyone . |
403,245 | 453,228 | 1,032,134 | 7 | Getting better | SuperNatural is getting better after the last three lack luster shows . Sam and Dean investigate freak accidents and Dean looks for a old flame . Was the woman's child really Dean's ? I believe so ! There were too many similarities between the boy and Dean . The boy was a little Dean replica . The impostor children were interesting . However , the storyline and directing lack the slickness of season one and two . It was nice to have the show centered around Dean and Sam and not their dad's friends . This episode introduced a new character ( the new demon ) . I wonder why this demon helped these two out in the first episode . What is the motive ? She says she can save Dean to Sam , but at what price ? Will this turn Sam evil and for the dark side ? |
402,950 | 453,228 | 1,032,135 | 7 | Something missing this season | Something is missing in season 3 of Supernatural . Maybe the flow of this episode ? Too many story lines ? Too many characters ? Running out of ideas ? Killing the father and Y E D and replacing with weaker character has hurt the show ! Sin city has a mix of problems . The Sam and Dean characters never shine , as in season one and two . The Sin City story is weak , and has too many subplots . A less complicated storyline has better flow , and is less confusing for the audience . Sin city's complex storyline would make a good , and easy to follow , three part episode . Too much information for one episode . Sin city has a predictable storyline , I could see the plot twists a mile away . I like too see the brothers fight the swamp monsters for a change in style . I would also like to see more Cursed objects or FBI using the brothers for a cool twist in a other episodes . . I am sure the build up is worth watching next weeks show . |
403,341 | 453,228 | 230,600 | 7 | Eerie | Spoiler My wife thought this film is eerie , but this film drags a little at the beginning . Scary , and confusing , with a slow build up of tension . I found a few parts lame , but I believe the director wants confusion in this story . My wife finds a weird twist for the ending , but ( spoiler ) I found it too similar with The six sense . |
402,492 | 453,228 | 1,032,139 | 7 | Starts out strong ends gory . | The Supernatural episode " Fresh Blood " is one of the goriest episodes the series has made . The acting , directing , and script is intense , and excellently executed . The film makers could not vilify the Winchester brothers by killing a human Gordon so the script's plot twist turns Gordon into a vampire . The second half of Fresh Blood goes into overdrive . I found the second half less story and more gore , and tension oriented . A little over the top , I am sure over the top was the maker's intentions . I will have to watch Fresh Blood a couple of times to make a fair opinion . The show slows down , with a more serious side . Sam finally asks Dean to let him be part of Dean's life . Sam knows Dean is hurting and Dean's hero , suicidal risks taker in order to prove his worth attitude is a false front . Dean never lets anyone really get to know him . Finally , Sam saves Dean's life , and shows his stones with Gordon . Gordon never had the heads up for Sam . Sam beats Gordon in shear might , for Dean . Dean finally let's Sam be part of his life . He tries to teach Sam how to repair the Impala . |
402,709 | 453,228 | 92,007 | 7 | Star Trek's attempt at comedy | I saw this movie in grade 12 with my friend Moses . I found this movie funny . They added many humorous time travel scenes . This is not a serious film . I found Kirk and Spock's antidotes funny . It had an environmental theme before its time . Worth renting not owning . |
402,826 | 453,228 | 117,894 | 7 | Great concept | A fat man , actually a very nasty lawyer type , gets a curse put on him where he loses 7 pounds a day . At first its great , but latter on it becomes a slow burn , or as he puts it " I am being erased " . It is not horror in the conventional way , where a man jumps out of the closet with a butcher knife , it is way more psychological . A slow death , where he has to do anything or he will die . This is a great concept , and the viewer slowly watches the fat man , become anoretic . This move made me want to eat after I watched it , because its one errie feeling watching the transformation . True horror because the victim punishment is so severe . |
403,261 | 453,228 | 305,224 | 7 | Typical Adam Sandler movie | Adam Sandler does not play the moron in this flick ; that was left up to Jack Nicholson . Humor seems to get crudier every year . If Jack Nicholson was not in this film , it wouldn't of been so funny . Good job on casting . Joe Turtorro plays another weirdo . This seems to be his mainstay . This was worth seeing . It was nice to see a film where there was no social message just outright humor . The theatre was packed and it looked like most enjoyed the movie . |
403,028 | 453,228 | 113,409 | 7 | Scary and smart | Spoiler . . . This film is scary with , a belief that if people read a book it will effect them , and the common will of the people will bring on horried events . Sam Neil , never lived down the Omen 3 it wrecked his career , and type casted him . His preformance is great , the ending of the film goes full circle , I wish the ending gave more . |
403,330 | 453,228 | 98,554 | 7 | Hughes saves Candy's Career again | Hughes has done most of John Candy's good movies . Candy plays this off the wall Uncle . I like the line : " Did you ever hear of a tune up " and Candy's reply : " Did you ever hear of a serial killing " . Must see to get joke . Well not to ruin the rest rent it , and enjoy . |
403,198 | 453,228 | 309,593 | 7 | Better than the first . | There is 2 elements that clash with this film . One the horror gore element , and 2nd the philosophy part . Yes there is a philosophy in this madness . The horror gore element will evolve into the modern Friday the 13th sequals . I can see Final destination 12 years form now with young people dieing in more dramatic fashions with each film . Instead of a Goalie mask , and the woods as the fear stimulus , we got death and fate against us . The first film was wimpy , especially the lead character , the new film picks up speed , and believe me the momentum will pick up with each film . The pilosophy part of the film is about fate or absolutism verses free will and choice . I believe if Death has a design and people out living there fate makes a time ripple against its own ends there would be no way to stop it , and the characters efforts would be useless . The film makers create chaos theory were random event can create an order that has great effects on individuals . The plate of pasta , and the gas turn off would be 2 examples of this . The film has its usual gross outs , and sick humor . In the end , I give it a |
403,326 | 453,228 | 100,477 | 7 | Well , Candy steals the show | John's voice is great for animation , just like it's Bacon comerical . He is the comic break , in a well crafted , cartoon . It is a happy story that kids will enjoy . Notice the non adultness this movie has over many so called children films . |
402,451 | 453,228 | 906,715 | 7 | Jake Green and Hawkins | The day before episode thesis is about character back ground and development for the shows main characters . The two main protagonist Jake Green and Hawkins are centered on this show . One learns of Jake's past with Ravenwood , and Jake trying to help his friend out . Jake's troubles direct him to Jericho in need of money . On the other hand , Hawkin's we no little of except , he is a highly trained weapon , who knows about the upcoming disaster , and wants to save his family . I like the show . A few slow spots . . The Ravenwood incident will always haunt Jake and he will have to face the past in a latter episode . Jake's problems are small compared to what ever Hawkins must face . Next season will be interesting . |
402,815 | 453,228 | 100,201 | 7 | What IF ? | Spoiler ! ! ! This movie is based on the concept of What If ? Of course Mr Destiny will be able to answer this question . The main character goes through a bad day , like many of us , and asks this question . Chaos Theory states a butterfly in China could have an effect on someone over here from a chain reaction . The focus of this movie is based on one event during a baseball game . This event sets into motion one's Destiny ; Just like Ashton in " The Butterfly effect " except Mr . Destiny uses comedy over drama . The results make a fresh , somewhat original movie . If one's philosophical are in tune with " The Butterfly Effect " one will likely enjoy Mr . Destiny . I give it a . Amazing for I have seen the first half of this movie 3 times , and finally watched the ending on TBS . |
402,498 | 453,228 | 280,665 | 7 | Better than expected | Not a bad film , but is confusing and loses focus in parts . This film is European Chic and has nudity , and shock aspects . Parts of this film copies the European plot twists , what ifs , and style . Like many European Chic style films it's plot becomes too smart . Over all , I like this movie , but they could have cut 2 or 3 scenes out and tried to clear up some of the confusion . |
402,514 | 453,228 | 372,183 | 7 | Lags behind the first film ! | Spoilers ! ! ! What a bad summer for movies , hopefully the fall schedule will improve . The film has a couple of huge flaws . One , the director , I can understand some of the shakey camera work in trying to create anxiety , with fast choppy thinking . Real life events can appear to the mind in this way , with the sensory overload . Trouble with the camera work is too shakey , were the viewers see nothing , and too long where the viewer either gets sick or confused . The style can be executed better . Two , the reason for the attempt on Bourne's life was weak , unless Bourne 3 will reveal a different reason . A huge let down for the climax . The crowd scenes , car chases , and fights with Bourne's wet work rival is the strong part of this movie . The ending saves the lack of story , and weak character in the first half . Why would they kill off all the strong characters from the first movie ? The Donald Rumsfield look alike is believable , and the brush cut , military / republican conservative looking agent gave realism for this series . This is like killing M in the Bond series . I hope Damon will not have this Clariss / Hannabil relationship with the new CIA women . Get a more original idea . |
402,315 | 453,228 | 221,027 | 7 | a scaled down version of Good Fellows | SPOILERS . Not a bad film , worth seeing at the movie house . The film is done like Casino , and Good Fellows , music , pace etc . Its about a guy who is worried about money his whole life , and his mom would leave his dad for periods , because it was a big problem . He never listen to his dad's advice about money that its not as important as people . With the idea in his head about making alot of cash , and not having to work for it he became engrossed with greed . Money , does not solve all his problems , and the film shows the life of a non violent drug dealer . How much was left out of this film I do not know , but it shows his problems of back stabbing , phonies , bad relationships , ruined families , dishonesty , and incarceration , and it catches up . ( to the point where his wife complains about money just as his mother did ) This guy gets betrayed several times in the movie and for the damage he does to society he get a 100 years . Very solid ! |
403,289 | 453,228 | 107,808 | 7 | Cosner could not ruin this film | Cosner's films usually stink , but with the right script he acts exceptionally well . This Eastwood movie is a solid ; with Eastwood playing his usual character role . A Perfect World title is a irony , for life is not black and white but grey . In the end , this film gets that message across . |
403,138 | 453,228 | 79,116 | 7 | Worth watching a second time | I was watching this film , on the history channel Eastwood is great , and one never loses interest with the story . A done it , seen it before film , but a pleasure to watch for its craftsmanship . I give it a . Rent it , if nothing else is at the video store . |
402,577 | 453,228 | 498,380 | 7 | Good movie | Subtitled movies are hard to watch sometimes ! When a movie is made well like " The Passion " one finds the movie's subtitles not a problem . ' Letters ' is well directed and the viewer does not notice the subtitles for he or she is entwined with the story . The director's development of continuity of the story with the acting creates a chemistry for entertainment , while the story unfolds . I like the idea that mercy is decided by the fate of the character who captures you . One ends up killing someone they may have liked in normal life shows the insanity of war . Some of the officers in your own army are more dangerous than the enemy . I wonder if they filmed ' Letters ' at the same time as ' Flags ' for being at the same location with all that gear ? worth renting . |
402,863 | 453,228 | 985,699 | 7 | good movie | The surprise of 2008 , the critics downplayed this movie . Surprisely the movie is much better than the reviews . The only thing that would of made this movie believable is they needed German accents . Cruise was just too American sounding . The part I liked best about the movie is that it gave the viewer the feeling of what it was like to live in a police state . The better movies are always the ones that follow the events closely . Real life movies are always better than fiction . This movie is a 7 or . Worth seeing in the theater . The actor ( Tom Wilkinson ) from Emily Rose is in this movie . He plays the German that plays both sides . A lot of British actors in this film . If the plan would of worked , I wonder if the war would have ended sooner . |
402,686 | 453,228 | 391,198 | 7 | AAAAAAAAAAAAAh ! | Possible spoilers . " The Grudge " is about the grudge that happens whenever a person enters the house where an evil event happened . I believe , it is a theory where the negative energy remains . Misery loves company , like some of the people I work with at the post office . ( I know that's off topic ) The director knows how to create tension . This film is one long slow burn . Anticipation of the event maybe worse than the event itself . The grudge lives for fear , and fear it creates . The Japanese director adds a new feel for the film . A ghoulish and mysterious feel . Fresh film , and strong story line that unravels in the right order . Made for the younger crowd , but a true horror film fan will love it . Worth seeing in the theater . I give it a . |
402,585 | 453,228 | 377,818 | 7 | A good summer comedy ! | A good summer comedy ! Yea ha . A good comedy relaxes me and makes myself laugh . It did both . Turn your brain off before you go in . I like the south , and how the south can laugh at itself . That is a sign of good character when one can laugh at oneself . I get the inside joke about hotdogs and sundaes , but I never been there to see if that is part of the Nas Car experience ? The movie is very close to the show in plot and characters . a bit more adult oriented and Rosco is a meaner , lynchier Sheirf , unlike the show . Reynolds plays a good boss , but has a small , with a small s , to it part . The car is the best part . The Atlanta reaction to the car is great . A rowdy Winnipeg crowd loved this movie . . Watch the end credits for the out takes . |
403,049 | 453,228 | 81,398 | 7 | Better than average | Boy , did this guy have a great relationship with women , he could single handily start the feminist movement . At least this movie is honest . The guy's demons where rage , and jealously . This movie is better than average , but drags in parts , and a few scenes were of little use to the story . The acting was not the bad , but Goodfellas is the evolved version of this film . |
403,161 | 453,228 | 111,742 | 7 | New Idea | It is nice to see a new idea in Hollywood . The warewolf concept is over done , and this movie does a fresh twist to the concept . The movie is original and fun to watch . Jack is one of the best and does this film justice , and the story's twists keep the viewer jumping . This has the businessman bit by a wolf and shows the affects it has on the individual's life . I will say no more or I will ruin this film . |
402,723 | 453,228 | 146,336 | 7 | Disturbing | My wife likes this film and gave it a 7 . She found it disturbing . The characters had a early 90's feel to it , it brought back memories when I was at the University , and the director does this in order to make the film unravel like a urban legend from the past . The sub stories or legends make this film shine . If you are a fan of the Nightmare on Elm Street saga , you will see Freddy without the make up on . |
402,358 | 453,228 | 267,626 | 7 | Not bad , but not great | After I watched this movie I did not say " wow this movie blew me away . " This is a good movie , but I have seen it before . I like submarine movies , and Hunt for Red October and Das Boat create a better feel . The Russian accents were horrible and the communist angle could be exploited more . The film is exciting , and I like the drama , but it is still a . |
402,456 | 453,228 | 187,393 | 7 | A solid 7 | I read the news paper review in the Winnipeg Free Press , and the guy chopped the movie down . I decided to take my wife out anyways , because the reporter started to run anti American diatribe and would hate the movie regardless . The journalist should learn some professionalism , because the movie was not that bad . I gave it a solid 7 and I would probably have to see it a second time to pick up details I missed the first time , and probably like the movie even more . Gibson is such a good actor , his accent helps in this film to give it realism . Gibson is the type of actor whos physical gestures can really make a seen . It has great villains , family , revenge , and historical perspective that makes the movie believable . The comeback of the historical epic is a nice change from your by the numbers , humdrum , action flicks . This film will shock you , inspire you , and make you laugh . My wife cried during one of the scenes , and if a movie can do that to a person , I think its worth the $8 . 50 . |
402,396 | 453,228 | 280,590 | 7 | Well I like this film | Spoiler This film is funny , but not a classic . It had a message about values , done very lightly , which is an improvement over Hollywood's typical over powering social messages . Its about values , and how one small town person views greed , and corporate culture . This fish out of water movie is touching , in todays society which is a culture of greed and death . It is awful to see how some people view profit and greed over peoples lives . Where money is viewed as the value of the person . Mr Deeds does not change for his character would not allow that . It appears where I work , no matter how much overtime many of my miserable co workers do , I see no magical change that some believe the extra money will bring . Deeds does not let the wealth go to his head , like many rich and powerful people . In the end he finds true love , and has fun acting silly . I regret to say , my wife compares me Sadlers behavior in this film . |
403,043 | 453,228 | 146,309 | 7 | Great Kevin Costner Role | Oh well I am a history buff , and watch all sorts of shows on the history channel . I find historical movies interesting , and this one kept my attention . I do not know how much of the film is factual , especially the fighting with the generals at the NSC , but the film documents who's who , and at what time events happened . The factual spin makes this film work . I like how Kevin Costner plays the old fashion type dad to bring reality to his character . Bruce Greenwood played a realistic JFK . This movie , in my opinion , was one of Costner's best . |
403,222 | 453,228 | 432,291 | 7 | 3 . 9 ? | A predictable movie , but 3 . 9 ? The movie is not that bad ! I liked the pace , and direction . Predictable , if one has seen the original . Acted well , and the effects were good . It was Scary in parts . It is worth seeing . I have seen awful movies . This film is not a bad film like Tomb Raider or Weekend at Bernie's . I would rate the film a 7 or . I would give a 3 . 9 for the latter two , but not the Fog . A different kind of story for current horror / suspense movies . The week point for the film is the unfolding of the ending . Wasn't the original set in Maine ? I like the fact that the movies are giving an explanation to why it is happening . This explanation concept was also used in the New Amityville movie . |
402,887 | 453,228 | 183,790 | 7 | Well ok sort of | I liked this film the Jousting was great , and who ever did those realistic scenes should get and award . This film is a pleasant surprise , and the acting is not bad . The script does not insult the viewer either . Why did they use classic rock music , its use is out of place , this is not a biker movie , did they listen to AC / DC in midevil times ? Why the film makers did this is beyond logic ! Other than that one weak point , the film is time well spent . |
402,354 | 453,228 | 119,314 | 7 | Deep feeling movie | Warning sorta spoiler of story I gave it a 6 and my wife gave it a 8 so we voted 7 . I am a restless sort who usually likes action films , and my wife is the romantic type . This film is a love story slash western ; my wife felt sorry for the horse and little girl in the movie . The scenery is unbelievable , and the portrayal of western life is on the mark . The horses were the true stars and this story is more then the taming of a horse and its change of heart ; its much deeper with a parallel of the horses pain relating to the hurting girl and the heart of her mother . My wife loves this movie , and would recommend this story to romantics everywhere . |
403,376 | 453,228 | 844,708 | 7 | Brutial | Brutial movie . Evil and violence is brutal and Last House of the Left reflects what true evil is . What happens to the victims and what evil people do is portrayed in this film . Had a little trouble sleeping after see this movie . Violence creates more violence which the story reflects with this film . The family finds their daughter who their house guests have hurt badly which makes the family seek revenge on the scum . The family also needs to defend themselves and escape from these evil people . The on slot of violence towards the human scum is relentless . I found the movie too much . There is a realism in the film of the human animal . What happens to moral people when pushed . I think for many people if they are pushed over the edge are capable on becoming brutal . |
403,100 | 453,228 | 109,836 | 7 | Entertaining , but sad | What happens when science goes too far . Abomination of nature is created and this film shows the tragic results of this . This film goes down hard , and found it too much . This movie is heavy and too much for myself , but entertaining too . |
402,717 | 453,228 | 119,345 | 7 | Its a good film for horror films | If you compare this film to Friday the 13th , and many other older and new horror films , this film is ahead of most , but not a masterpiece like Alone in the Dark , or The Thing ( 1982 ) . This film has a budget , quality acting , and a decent script . Friday the 13th was choppy in all these categories , and gets across as cheesie . Most of these films have a revenge motive plot , and sometime the lead actors make mistakes that cause this revenge . This film plays this plot line perfectly , except the film gets bogged down in the middle and has the usual ending with a punch . I give this film a 7 . |
402,735 | 453,228 | 356,618 | 7 | Not a bad movie | Spoilers ! This movie is similar to the 6th sense . It was well placed and suspenseful . The film is an original story . I like the idea of the New York Ranger . Throughout the film , there is little explanation of what is actually going on . My guess would be a demonic entity was involved . I think they were trying to see how far a mother's love for her child would be . They did not want the kids , it was just an experiment . I would wait for rental on this one . What was with the people being zapped up in the air ? I did not get this in the film and I think it could of been left out . |
403,183 | 453,228 | 408,345 | 7 | Firewall Burns | Firewall burns . Wow , what a ride ! The movie is a thriller ! The story of someone robbing a bank from the inside with a computer instead of a gun is high-tech . The family held hostage is the old school premise of the plot . Harrison Ford has acted in several stinkers , and I avoided Firewall's release . The preview on Satellite rekindled my interest . Firewall is a thriller ride , with a technological twist . E debt , pens with cameras , and global positioning . If the audience liked the movie Cellelar , Firewall is a perfect match . 7 or . I would give a 8 . Worth renting . Hopefully , the big banks cannot be beaten this easily . I do not believe that someone in this position should have access to everything . There has to be safe guards or else inside fraud would be rampant . |
402,658 | 453,228 | 356,634 | 7 | Good family movie | This is a good family movie . I went with my wife and extended family . Children , and adults both laughed . The humor is geared towards middle ground . The facial expressions of Garfield fit the voice ; what better voice than Bill Murry as the sarcastic cat . Murry is sarcastic , and fit the self centered role of Garfield . Some cats are like Garfield . He reminds my wife of her cat , Casmere , when she was growing up . Casmere was so lazy and fat . Although he was very good natured . He would never bite or scratch on purpose . He would never go out and hunt either in the country where she lived . He would fall a sleep in the food dish . It was hilarious . What does JOhn do for a living ? I seem never to recall this in the comic strip or the film . |
402,983 | 453,228 | 445,934 | 7 | Good rental | The preview was just horrible . The movie was funny . Well directed , and acted . I like stupid humor and ' Blades of Glory ' has lots of it . Such as the fight at the Olympic podium part . The toilet paper scene , and the sex addict meeting . . Will does a good job , and is not over the top . Jon Herd is a talented actor we will see more of him in the future . Turn your brain off for this movie . A good rental . A weird concept . Can 2 guys skate in doubles ? My bet is no ! The skating scenes were great laughs . Tawnya harden part was added in . Nancy gets a bit part . I think Will is picking better movies to play in . He doing more lead roles , which he handles better with time . |
403,131 | 453,228 | 313,737 | 7 | entertaining | I was quite surprised with this one . Hugh Grant is quite the actor when he applies himself . He made this one . He does comedy well in a straight british humour way . I would like to see him do more films like this one . This film is something both genders can enjoy . I wanted to see this one in the theatre but did not have the time , I regret not . I like Sandra Bullock , she acts like my wife . Definite rental . |
402,898 | 453,228 | 58,150 | 7 | James Bond gets it right | The first 2 Bond movies where done on low budget , and Goldfinger was the beginning of high budget Bond films . M introduced high tech gagets , the story did not drag with long conversations to fill in time , and the movie had the over the top stunts that make these film ssucessfull . If it was not for Sean Connery acting in the first 2 films this series would have never servived . Watch Connery play golf in this film , and you will see the killer edge that he gives to these films . |
402,674 | 453,228 | 762,121 | 7 | A solid film | A solid film . Well , directed , acted , and the story follows the Bible closely . Not as good as ' The Passion ' for the Passion had better actors and Gibson is a great director . However , ' The Nativity Story ' is done on a good budget . One gains a understanding of the pain and sacrifice Mary and Joseph endured . The movie portrays the evils of man , by Herrod's reaction to the good news of the birth of ' The King of Kings ' . What a sadness for Herrod's slaughter of the innocents . One gains the historical perspective of the time with the poverty of farming , and the harshness of the Romans and tax collectors . . Maybe 8 ! I love true story they are so much better than fiction . |
403,307 | 453,228 | 272,020 | 7 | Borderline 6 or 7 | Robert Redford is a leftwinger on the political scene , and one sees this with his movie . Even with differnt political views on some issues I respect Redford , he is my kind of leftwinger . This story is about people , or individuals . They maybe criminal , but he looks at people character or lack of , and thats what counts . I believe the jail would be meaner than protrayed in this film . The story pits the taking of a castle , and show the differnce between those who can lead , and other who should not . |
402,486 | 453,228 | 873,051 | 7 | Realistic | The people a Jericho face E M P . The E M P wipes out the power . Food , gas and everything else become limited . Social Darwinsim takes , and become like animals . In the end , order is restored . Good acting and well directed . I love how the bad guys can survive the best in such a brutal environment . Totally logical for evil men do good during evil times . . Good episode . I bet the social order will worsen . Why was there E M P when the missiles were fired ? Never explained . Did the missiles intercept other bombs ? I hope the mystery is explained in a further episode . I wonder where the state police are during the problems , and or the state government ? Nothing in Kanas was nuked . |
403,356 | 453,228 | 873,052 | 7 | not bad | Not a bad show . The mayor race is a sign of any power struggle . Fear drive one character run for mayor . The mayor run on common sense . Fear wins in the end with the people for they live in fearful times . I like the gritty realism of the show . People as they are . Selfish , and stupid in bad situations , while other show heroism , and sacrifice . . God help us in any of this this evil every happens . People become hateful . I hope there is hope and the higher ground is taken . Next season will be great . Great cast , acting and directing . Nice to see a show with a high budget for a change . New shows in Jannauary . I wonder how Hawkens will survive . |
402,348 | 453,228 | 211,181 | 7 | My wife liked it | If you like animal movies , this movie will please . My wife likes animals and animal movies , she especially like the parrot in this film . It is geared towards kids , but I laughed at most of the humor . The French fashion character made me laugh , and adds balance to the script . It is a Disney film , with its sappy , happily , family apeal , but I like leaving the theater with a positive fealing . |
402,349 | 453,228 | 119,718 | 7 | Nielson is hilarious | Only Leslie Nielson could pull this movie off , not Jim Carrey , or Robin Williams . Nielson can play silly comedy straight , and make all awkward situations appear normal . It was original ideas in this comedy that seemed to work . Silly and incredibly close to the cartoon ; this film entertained , and the humor is geared for everyone . |
402,542 | 453,228 | 119,723 | 7 | Out off all the books I have had to read for Eng Lit this is the best | Compared to 1984 and other boring tripe this film is entertaining . I like how they show the class structure , how one trys not have norms and standards . My wife thought they were snobs , but after years of working with people who act like the audience on the Jerry Springer show I found this movie quite refreshing . I would like to tell Mrs Dalloway life is not that bad , and for her friend to get over her . You tried to make her a person she is not . When you do that you end up with a unhappy life . |
402,363 | 453,228 | 257,044 | 7 | I wish Tom Hanks would do comedy again | I am tired of seeing Tom Hanks play over serious roles . I guess it is more accomplished acting , but I really liked him when he did comedy . He does play a good role and of course he is a great actor . I found the film a bit too long . I wish he would try his hand at a different type of character ; he is getting too typecasted . It is a good film . The characters were chosen well . The movie was too predictable ; especially the ending . Paul Newman played a good role again . I never get tired of seeing his movies . It is worth seeing , but save it for video . |
403,348 | 453,228 | 1,018,482 | 7 | Good show | Once resources and food become scariest we see the human animal develop . The industrial town is building armaments to take Jericho's agrarian land . The sheriff / mayor of the town become a dictator who blame Jericho for Ravenwood , and wants food for the starving town . Hawnkens becomes useful . Mr CIA is a valuable asset with weapons and tactics . The human animal is evil and self centered . In the right condition one will kill , take , and steal . A good show . Too realistic . I wish people could be more reasonable . The bottom line is wow what a different kind of show . I never seen such a situation on TV before . A town getting hit by mortars before by a rival town . One step up from local high school basketball game between the two town . |
403,271 | 453,228 | 298,148 | 7 | Good sequel | Spoilers ! This film was a good sequel . I love the voice of Eddie Murphy as Donkey , but the best had to be Puss , the voice of Antonio Banderas . The hair ball scene was great and you would understand completely if you have a cat . In all , the story was a continuation of the first . We follow the lifes of Shrek and the cast from after the wedding . We learn more about the curse that was put upon Princess Fiona . My opinion is that they should of stayed as normal looking people after taking a potion . I love the end where they showed Donkey and the Dragon having mutant dragon / donkey offspring . Puss does a good job singing . Parts of the story were swipes at LA and the Hollywood community . I wonder if the fairy godmother was supposed to resemble Martha Stewart ? Good for both adults and children |
402,470 | 453,228 | 77,269 | 7 | Depends on what mood I'm in if it's a 6 or 7 . | Peck's best performance ! Making the natives on his little island have blue eyes , and strangling his buddy at the ball was a chilling performance . Mad , and extreme made his character believable ! I remember seeing this film with my dad when I was 9 ; In Winnipeg we have the Walker theater , they showed this movie back then , it had a balcony , and those little VIP balcony seats on the sides . I will never forget that day the film and theater just sticks in my memory . Before I degress any farther , I find the film either drags , or intrigues me depending on my mood . The ending with the dogs I will never forget . I wonder if anyone remembers a SCTV Cooking with Croft skit based off this film ? ( With Joe Flaretty being Peck " That's better isn't it ! " ) Worth renting . |
402,780 | 453,228 | 329,575 | 7 | Believe the hype | For once a film lives up to the hype . I found this story interesting , and believable . True stories grab my attention more than the made up ones . I wonder how close the movie is too the facts , considering time restraints , and drama . I never wanted to see this , but we borrowed the DVD from my sister and I was glued to the TV . It even has a not too dragged out social message . The actors look the part . All the horse race action is done well . This movie reminds me of going to the track with my dad . Sometimes you have to take chances in life ! In the end , I guess we must all keep moving on like the Seabiscuit in life . 7 or |
402,828 | 453,228 | 129,332 | 7 | Sick film | This film is sick , you bet it is . Many people will be repulsed by this work . I myself found this film on the edge of sick to brilliant . It goes through the issue of cannibalism and one eats to live and the morals of surviving on the expense of others . Good criticism of society and we may not eat each other , but we do victimize each other daily . Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle back up a very strong cast . If you can get over how strange this move is you will find it integrating , or at least I know I did . For history bluffs this movie is influenced by the events of the Donnor party . The movie was marketed for gen x and probably the high school crowd , it is not for every one |
402,784 | 453,228 | 335,563 | 7 | Dark Movie | The Police look at events in a very cynical way , and after watching a movie full of scum bags in it , you can not blame them . Who told the truth what is the truth the answer is they all lie , the story is in the middle some where . Funny how I watched the movie with it drug culture and hedonism . There is no surprise with the negative results ; just waste which this film portrays well . I heard the Devil's best ploy is too show the dark side of humanity in such a dark light , that one feels hopeless . This is why I am happy about my clean living , and do not feel bad when other knock my MTV generation . |
402,877 | 453,228 | 49,366 | 7 | The Oldest film I reviewed | We saw this film after seeing the two remakes . It was in the cult section of our video store . It is the first B & W movie I reviewed . The story holds up well ; much better than some of today's horror / suspense films . It would be disturbing to be in a society that has no emotions . No one would believe you if this actually happened . |
402,338 | 453,228 | 96,256 | 7 | I like it | I have biases , towards sci fi and former Winnipeggers . I like Rod Pipper , and he did much better than the Rock on his first film . This is a neat little film about mind control with lots of violences added in . David Keith another b actor plays one of his better roles since The Thing . The fight between Keith and Piper is a classic , with some wrestling too boot . Mindless fun for the TBS crowd . |
403,246 | 453,228 | 465,538 | 7 | Michael Clayton is an interesting flick | Michael Clayton is an interesting flick . Michael Clayton is similar in style too ' The Verdic ' and has a 70's feel in direction . The viewer wonders what will happen next . I found the movie hard to follow in places . Why would the female lawyer order the murders ? I did not know she was not part of the law firm until my wife told me . Anyways , George Clooney is a great actor and is pleasant too watch . The red book theme which in introduce over and over in the film is part of the story's revelation about finding consciousness . I guess Tom Wilkenson found morality as a lawyer in the end . Deep movie . The taxi cab ending is original . I never seen a movie end like that ! . Wait for the new releases at Block Buster for Michael Clayton . |
403,211 | 453,228 | 62,377 | 7 | Where Hannible Smith got his training for the A Team ! | After an unpleasant birthday party for my future father in law , my girl friend and I went to my house to watch tv . On A & E they had this interesting WW 2 movie . I do not know how realistic it is , but it sure has an entertaining story . Undercover German Jews , British special forces , and a mole have too execute a black bag operation . Pretty cool , to watch George Peppard run around with a flame thrower . Not the usually sloppy acting for a 60's ww 2 movie . |
402,873 | 453,228 | 304,669 | 7 | Family Movie | On par with the first movie . A Disney type movie that the whole family can view . Parts were funny , and where did they find those old toys I played with back in the 70's . Sappy and mellow in parts , and a Reindeer for comic relief . Worth taking the family out ! |
402,490 | 453,228 | 833,360 | 7 | Not bad | An interesting episode . The show informs one about what to do with fall out . The questions lingers about Hawkens why does he know so much ? I wonder if they could get all the food clean ? How could one hunt for the deer would eat something radioactive ? The show follows the formula of problem , and how to solve it . The soap opera part where the affairs , and relationship problem continue . I love the idea of isolation and the fear of it ? People become panicky , and delusional . The mayor is right about how to maintain control , and diverting people from going into chaos . . One of the better episodes . I wonder how many bomb did go off ? Where is the army ? |
402,537 | 453,228 | 313,542 | 7 | Not bad | Not a bad movie , it gets weaker as it ends . What I hate about this movie is the anti gun message when they blame it on the manufacture instead of the government ! It's funny how the manufacture gets blamed and never broke the law but the gov for having ever introducing the right law or evening caring is never to blame . Like with tobaco they keep it legal and make taxes on it but they never get sued . The movie is interesting utill the end . I wish it ended a bit darker , you will see what I mean if you watch it . Not a bad movie I give it a . |
402,527 | 453,228 | 207,201 | 7 | Well Mel | Well Mel Gibson is a great actor , and the beginning of this film is great . I like how he plays the over confident , macho type . He does it well and not too a point where you hate him . The movie gets bogged down with a sappy ending , and it ties up all to nicely . Seen it done it before , but Gibson make it worth watching . |
403,156 | 453,228 | 86,541 | 7 | Weird | My wife hates this film , and I find it interesting . Well Dave the director makes demented movies and this one is demented . I like the concept of television signals effecting peoples minds , and people losing their concept of reality . The special effects are ok , and the story makes sorta sense , but disappoints . |
