402,299 | 453,228 | 251,127 | 8 | Entertaining comedy | Spoiler ! I didn't know what to expect from this film . It was great . Matthew should do more comedies . They had a card game in this film which based itself on being able to read people . Sometimes people portray what they are really not . It takes a talented person to be able to see through all that hoopla . Many of the things the woman did in the film were annoying and psychotic . They were using each other and in the end it worked against them for the one thing that was unexpected . |
402,378 | 453,228 | 482,606 | 8 | Close the real life ! | Close to real life . What I hate about the Stranger is the believability of the movie . Weirdo's are hard to deal with . I remember the line from " No country for old men " where Tommy Lee's narration talks about how he as a sheriff he never wants to push his chips into something he can't understand . What make this movie scary is lack of motive for the perpetrators . The 911 call sounds way too real . I bet if the occupants of the house were 3 Marines back from Iraq this would never happened . The part I do not understand is why the bad guys were not shot or ran over . Oh well it's just a movie , but a scary one . on the fear meter . I hate it when people phone at 4 in the morning or do anything else to that matter . Just let the poor people get some sleep . |
403,180 | 453,228 | 81,873 | 8 | A solid 8 | I really liked this series as a youngster . The standouts on the series were Howard Hunter for comic relief , Chief Ferro , and the undercover cop JD . The cast of characters were strong , and driven by great scripts . The episode were the SWAT leader Hunter wants to blow a sniper off the roof with a rocket launcher is argued by Chief Ferro a hilarious moment . Unlike CSI , Hill street Blues shows the human side of the police and the causes of hopelessness of the streets . A solid . I watched repeats and the show does not age well . However , I remember the show takes time to grow on the viewer . My wife did not care for this show growing up and disagrees with me . I guess it all lies in the taste of the audience . I probably liked it as I watched all the police shows growing up . |
402,846 | 453,228 | 119,008 | 8 | Close to the book | I read the book and find this movie quite close . They had to merge a few characters and speed up time , but when a book is over 1000 pages and five year of his life they did a credable job . Believable and forgetabouit with Mike Maddison performances . He's the most believable character in the whole film , and the guy who said " did you think about making your big this week cause I hate to be looking for you " did a great suporting role . Rent it tonight |
402,430 | 453,228 | 195,685 | 8 | Roberts best | I was waiting for this huge social lecture ; I like these type of films , but hate the lectures . Instead , I found a entertaining , yet realistically acted film . It was enjoyable to watch how mistakes happen , intentionally , or people just not caring , and lawyers ( for a change not being the bad guy ) give people the opportunity for amends . Regrettably money will never be a true payment for justice , but the people at least were able to move . I wonder how many of these man made disasters happen ? In Canada , we seem too have cover ups where I read the paper , and nothing ever get resolved with many issues . I wonder if they get settled out of court . A movie is like a few pictures of a very complex event . I found this movie , it may have been dramatized , gave me a better understanding of the events . |
402,435 | 453,228 | 77,531 | 8 | One of Stallone's best | This film is done on a very low budget , and its a great film . Some times , low budget film compensate with good acting . The script , probably has some real life experiences in it , with a few of the scenes , especialy with the apple boxes , and the double cross part in the film . After watching this film , I thought this film is great , and I am happy I spent my time watching a true gem . |
402,929 | 453,228 | 455,857 | 8 | 4 . 2 What ? More like 7 or 8 ! | 4 . 2 What ? What is with a 4 . 2 ? Too hard on the film . The movie is not a Scream type film . I was surprised . The movie makers did a film in a way that could actually happen . I like the concept ! Not a fantasy Scream style film . A nice break in the horror movie filming . The over the top stunts , and blood is replaced with the sick mind and tension of a predator . A slow burn . The story has many little extras . I would watch the movie again . I guess the urban legend has killed the plot twists . If one does not know the story the better the film will unravel . The Colorado back drop is lovely but spooky at the same time . The woods and the cabin feel of the house give a wild and unsafe what is in the woods lurking atmosphere . 7 or . Worth cheap night . A Friday night date movie . I would buy the movie for 9 . 99 at Wal-Mart . |
402,377 | 453,228 | 1,033,643 | 8 | D good movie | I really like this film . Comedy is hard to preform . What I like about " What happens in Vegas " is the irony humor . How a perfect gal , and a by the seat of his pants guy use their worst traits to get along . They need each other for the couple's bad traits balance each other out . One learns to let go in life , and the other learns to start trying . The humor of extremes is great . I like the party scene . People just go the extremes . 8 out 10 laughs for this one . Go see What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas at the movie theater . My wife loved this movie . A good pizza movie night . Buy the DVD ! I hope they never make part 2 . Go Redwings HA HA I need 1o line to get a post . Is it 10 lines yet . |
402,520 | 453,228 | 90,728 | 8 | This movie has it all | This movie has it all , special effects , action , humor , and most of all machismo . Its , just true escapism , not a serious movie . Whoever , did the comment about Kurt Russel being John Wayne is right , and Russel does it well . Lot's of Karate , and stupid humor , I love this , and let's not forget about the monster . Rent it , be it , live it . What a great concept , and a great movie . |
402,960 | 453,228 | 800,080 | 8 | Different with out Eric but Norton is a great replacement . | The Hulk is a well directed , and crafted movie . The back in time , and present time filming creates a great mise en scene ! The continuity of the directing creates a great pace where the viewer is enthralled with the story . Eric Bana did the last film and Norton had big shoes to fill . Norton especially with the beginning scene of hiding in Brazil , plays the on the run Bruce Banner character excellently . The ending is great , I was shocked . William Hurt plays a good bad guy again . I will not ruin the ending , but will give a hint . There is a clue to the ending at the beginning of the movie . Two merged into one is all is my hint . green monsters |
403,105 | 453,228 | 61,512 | 8 | Cool Hand Luke a cool movie | I can see why in the old days the crime rate was lower , if this film represents the prison system . This is a powerful movie , and maintains an entertaining pace throughout . The beginning , the egg scene and the boxing match , make it a classic . The Newman , Kennedy , and Glasses characters will never be forgotten . In conclusion , a 30 year old film that still entertains , is a true piece of Americana . |
403,086 | 453,228 | 81,698 | 8 | Great movie ! | Not too many comedy's humor last the entire movie . This film is a laugh every two minutes . I love the part where the old car dealer drives into the pole . The stunt man who test drives a car is sick humor , but my kind of sick humor . Russel can do either action or comedy ; a rarity for actors . This movie set his career in motion . This film is a true classic , because it ages well . Michael say |
402,982 | 453,228 | 775,325 | 8 | Perplexing | ' Devil's Trap ' is a perplexing episode with plots and twists which creates the illusion of one event , while another actually unfolds . The unfolding story leads the viewer wanting more . Devil's Trap's character development of the omnipotent one , John Winchester , creates John's own downfall . Sam and Dean have to handle 2 missions at one time . Will Sam and Dean save a family from Iowa from a Y . E . D attack and can they help their dad who is on a different mission ? I love Dean's statement about whipping the Y . E . D , but no such luck . Sam almost burns himself out of hatred for the Y . E . D . Devil's Trap is a two part episode because of the stunning conclusion . . I love this show . I just got season 2 on DVD . |
403,164 | 453,228 | 93,010 | 8 | Good movie with a hidden message | It is a moral movie , like a William the Shake play . What if a mans marital infidelities lead to extreme consequences . The hidden message is selfishness and the attack on the family . Michael Douglas can not get no satisfaction with his wife when their child needs to sleep with them one night . The next day his wife and child head out of town , and Douglas has a weekend work appointment . He meets a hot woman from an office party and his decision leads to tragic events which will change his life . Harder he tries to get out this mess the worst it gets ; this movie is one big tension builder . Worth seeing ! |
402,862 | 453,228 | 1,205,489 | 8 | A different time | A good movie about a different time . Walt Kowalski's character is a person from a different time set . I grew up in East Kildonan in Winnipeg and like the movie's portrayal of Detroit . We had many Walt's around . People who called it as they see it . People who never held back . People WHO love to bust other people verbally . Not very politically correct place to live . I got my turn to be verbally busted and people love to see how you can take it and what your worth is . In the end , Walt viewed people by their actions and respect was earned . I think Walt learned a few things about other people in Grand Torino . In the end the right person earned the Gran Torino . I love how they portrayed Walt's own family as a group of self absorbed people who never had time for dad unless they wanted something from him . Too bad we think so much about our selves and not others in today's world . |
403,319 | 453,228 | 82,398 | 8 | Roger Moore makes the best Bond | I believe this , but Connery did very well in Diamonds are Forever . I find Moore does humor better , plus being younger than a lot of Bond fans I grew up with Roger Moore . For Your eyes only had less humor than the other Bond movies , but balances it out with great stunts . This is another story where Bond did not save the World , which is nice . The skiing , scene is just incredible , and the part with the Parrot at the end is funny . The end does not have the usual Bond count down everything blows up lets get out of here scenerios . This film ages well , and is not as dated as some of the other Bond films . Watch this one during TBS 13 days of Bond . |
403,038 | 453,228 | 94,889 | 8 | If you love the bar you'll love this film . | This film is great , the director set a pace in this film , which reflects the bar perfectly . People complain about this because Tom Cruse is too self centered , sexually lose , or poney , and I differ on these issues . The bar scene has all these attributes and Cruse plays the bar wolf perfectly . Of course there is a Romance and he learns about growing up . In the end I find this film truthful and honest . |
402,521 | 453,228 | 99,365 | 8 | I did not expect much | I did not expect much of this film , when I first met my wife I though it would be a good rental for a date . Another Batman I thought , but this film is entertaining . It is nice when you have low expectations when the movie ends surprisingly good . The hideous darkman is created by crime ; the evil done by the criminals is recreated on them by this sinister hero . This twisted justice gels well , and I love the ending . |
403,304 | 453,228 | 56,197 | 8 | Better than Saving Private Ryan ! | Last time I watch this one is the day my Grandfather died , to take my mind off it . I forgot how well acted , directed , this film is , and what a huge budget . This shows is an acting documentary , and cuts out the crap . We did this all for nothing is a great line . Check out the line up for this movie WoW ! I do not tell many people to rent an older black and white film , but even with out color it is better than most . |
403,238 | 453,228 | 70,909 | 8 | Great classic | Do not let the age of this film fool you , this is a good film . The terminator before Arnold came around . It is an amusement park that goes amuk , and it becomes the vacation from hell . I can watch this film over and over , with its cool concept . This is great sci-fi and comparing it to other sci-fi films this one is a leader for other to copy . |
403,149 | 453,228 | 68,931 | 8 | Classic 70's | A majority of 70's film I watch on video have no plot or gaping holes in the story , or just plain unbelievable . Ie like the 70's style film Way of the gun . The true jems of this area really stand out and the Mechanic is a film thats , aged well , and is still showing on TBS . I love this film the story has twists , its believable , and the concept is fresh . A hitman who makes literal accidents happen , hires a apprentice to help himself out . The beginning is done extremely well there is no dialogue in the first 8 minits , and the viewer watches intently at Bronson's actions . There is a few hints about what is going to happen , and twists to keep the story interesting . This a smart action film . |
403,318 | 453,228 | 86,034 | 8 | The last good Jame Bond Movie | This was the last of the James Bond movie too have that Bond magic to it . One of Moores better Bond movies along with Man with the Golden gun , and For your eyes only . This film keeps the humor and non seriousness which makes the Bond films enjoyable . Excellent stunts , funny moments , and a interesting plot , gives this film the Bond magic , which was missing with Tim Dalton . I love the scene when a tour group asks Bond what travel tour he is with , and he say economey . I hope the new Bond can create some of this magic . |
402,942 | 453,228 | 419,125 | 8 | Excellent bio | I do not know how true this film is , especially with the time constraints of the movie , but I learned much about Arnold for myself . Confidence and drive is important and essential in order to survive in life's journey and Arnold knows this . The viewer learns that Arnold is brash and positive , and would be hated by negative people everywhere ; negative people would find Arnold arrogant , while more mentally healthy individuals would find Arnold's positive attitude contagious . Arnold's visualization and attitude , is no sales act in order to use people , but the natural personality of a driven man . The movie addresses the harshness of Arnold's childhood , and his need of acceptance . ( A Freud theory in this movie ) Many Dads want their sons to have a toughness and hunger , but balanced with love . A theme throughout this film . I , myself may be seen as cocky , and mistaken as a jerk without a softer side ; I believe the director shows a softer side to Arnold that only people who really know the man could tell . I would have to look into Arnold's eyes too really know the man . Compassion is not a event to boast about but a more private side . I learned about Arnold from this film and found this film to be a comedy / auto bio , which I think is how Arnold is . 8 or . Great TV movie . A & E sure can make better TV movies than the networks . I would not be surprised if a network makes a whole movie about Arnold's life from childhood on . I wonder if Arnold would write an auto bio ? |
402,311 | 453,228 | 80,310 | 9 | One excellent picture . | The Australian film board has done excellent work , compared to Canada we should be ashamed . Except for arty films , or ultra left wing films , which sometimes insult the public they never have come close to making a watchable film . Who ever did the casting for Breaker Morant , did an excellent job . Woodward , Brown , etc and the actor who plays Clark where standouts in a cast without one weak actor . The script and filming looks , and sounds turn of the century . ( well researched ) Did they deserve to be shot , I do not know . In my opinion , ( I know that sounds wordy ) this film hit true too life . Comparable with today's Political Correctness many decisions become political instead of truthful . How many job interviews , hearings , University acceptances , fights between people will be decided before the interview , trial , application , or discussion has began . I believe the truth is always unpopular but eventually appears . This film is an excellent portrayal of the human condition . |
402,582 | 453,228 | 940,441 | 9 | This show had me guessing | I love watching a story unfold where the viewer is guessing the next plot twist . The anticipation for the conclusion was unbearable ! This show is well directed , and acted . The supporting cast was superb . The gas station scene with the clerk was excellent , and Dean's solution of bribery was great . Sam gets a break from being the good guy and plays an evil character . The character twist adds new life to the show . Who was doing the killing ? Would Dean kill Sam ? The smart guy in the junkyard who solved the problem wraps up the story nicely . . A fresh new episode . Can hardly wait to buy the second season on DVD which is set to come out on September 11 , 2007 . |
402,759 | 453,228 | 266,543 | 9 | this is a cute film | Spoilers ! ! This is a film everyone can enjoy . This is on par with Monsters Inc . William Dafoe has such a recognizable voice . The character he does the voice for ( Gill ) suits him . Gill is an angel fish with a whole bunch of scars over him . It makes it look like he's had a hard life . He picks his roles very well . There is a part where there are two seagulls floating on the water when an air bubble goes by his butt . The other seagull looks at him and says ' nice ' and flies off . This movie makes seagulls look so stupid . It has the disney quality that one would expect . Very nice ending . This is a must see on the big screen . |
402,329 | 453,228 | 61,265 | 9 | Aged well . | I love " The Invaders " . What a great show ! For 1967 " The Invaders " aged well . Many good science fiction story lines . The Spores was a great episode with Gene Hackman . I think Invasion of the Body Snatcher got a few ideas from the mentioned episode . Great stories and with a cool concept . A man knows of an Alien invasion but no one will believe him . The show reminds me of Supernatural . I wonder if they will ever remake " The Invaders " . Maybe they can you Jensen Ackles as David Vincent . I give the series an . Only if those aliens did not vaporize when they die the show's problems would be easy . There is never any proof ! Buy the box set . Is it 10 lines yet . Now it is . |
403,167 | 453,228 | 713,618 | 9 | Set the pace for the series | Set the pace for the series . I found the Pilot episode well directed , written , and acted for a TV series . Many TV shows are quickly and cheaply made , while ' Supernatural ' is made of movie quality . The story subplot where there is a need for the Winchester brothers ' to find their father is the driving storyline for the first series . The lady in white mystery story shows the contrast and personal chemistry of the two brothers Sam and Dean . Dean is more personality streetwise , while Sam is more personally academic . The personality faults and infamous stunts create humor for the series . The blend of storyline , the character's personas , and the driving need to find their father create a great mixture for this episode and the first season . . Very 80's oriented if you understand lines like the best of mullet rock . |
402,671 | 453,228 | 713,620 | 9 | Like a urban tale | I like this tail . Remember the story where they have to sacrifice someone to the volcano or river god and add the mix of the movie ' Jepers Creepers ' one has the script for Scarecrow . The show has family intrigue with the boy's dad given them a call . Dean goes on the mission , while Sam looks for dad . Sam run's into a interesting girl ( Meg ) ! A atmosphere of suspense . Well directed and acted . Dean is funny with the one liners . I hope your apples are worth it , and given the name for the drummer for Led Zep to the restaurant owner is memorable . The Scarecrow is the most memorable part of the show . I will remember the Scarwcrow anytime I think of the show . Great , movie quality , special effects ! I can not believe this is a TV show . . Buy the box set . |
402,868 | 453,228 | 295,297 | 9 | Better than the first ! | I was very surprised that this was better than the first . Usually sequels are pretty bad , but this was entertaining . It was different enough from the first one and fits well in the series . This film leaves room for a part III . I really like the owls as the postman . The beginning is funny with his mean uncle and the cake . This movie can be enjoyed by the whole family . Some parts might scare younger ones . The film kept one guessing as to what would happen next . Take the family to this one . |
403,146 | 453,228 | 110,912 | 9 | Film of the 90's | This director peaked when he made this film , I do not think he will ever be able to out do Pulp Fiction . This films timing , cast , and story mixed perfectly , like a good meal . It is a combination of talent and luck to make a film like this . The timing is incredible , for it was released in the mid 90's during the hight of political correctness . Harrison Ford could not pick up a gun in the movie clear and present danger . Swearing , any bad stereo types of characters was tabu . The film industry was getting very boring , and this shocker came out . I was surprise there was no protests over this film . The swearing , racial slears , violence , drug use , and rape pushed this film to new lows . This film is well made not from cheap shock value . The shock value is a by-product of the sleazy characters . It is the scripts characters and the story make this film mind blowing , and fresh . The acting is incredibly strong , no one could a ford this cast now , because all the actors where either up and coming or over the hill during this film , and luckly instead of watching a actor get paid 20 million and the film suffers , we see a very strong cast . The 4 stories all melt into one , and the films message is about choices in life , along with a anti violent message . Unlike many movies of that time it does not preach this message , which insults the viewer , but brilliantly makes a subtle message . |
402,324 | 453,228 | 63,415 | 9 | Great movie | When a dated movie does not show its age , the movie becomes a classic . This film is funny , and it has gags : Visual , physical , and situational . When you watch this movie look for the following : the drunk waiter , bride num num , and the toilet . The film does not die off as many other comedies do . Do not let the age of this film fool you , rent this movie and enjoy . |
403,218 | 453,228 | 418,763 | 9 | One of the better films this year | One of the better films this year . Not anti war or pro war , but done in a auto-biography style . I personally like films which show events as is ! The Over There show is anti-war , and drama story , I find when a story is too political , there is a dilution of the story . The story lacks when the realism does not happen ; I am sure bad events happen during war . Jarhead shows the causes , boredom , stress , and stupidity , which happens with the human factor , and different personalities . The movie also shows the positive and the Spartan of marine life . I find the irony or duality of the movie is the character who is the decent , most level headed guy ; the glue of the squad is the soldier which will be dishonorably discharged from the corp . Even the level headed soldier unglued when ordered or cheated out of the chance for a enemy kill . Why ? For all the training , and build up there was no release , and the event became overwhelming for the individual . . Big budget . |
402,584 | 453,228 | 964,436 | 9 | comic relief | The comic relief episode . I love this episode ; while watching Hollywood Babylon my wife kept saying Michael which is my name to everyone of Dean's antics . Ie stuffing his face while saying this is great , listen to the headphones , and being an excited big kid during the tour annoying the heavy kid beside him . The show pokes fun at all the hooks Hollywood uses like the guy in the woods , the blowing wind , creaking doors , the stupid one liners etc . The best part is the mockery of the Hollywood producer who getting show ideas while people are dying . The classic scene is the moment of silence for someone who died and no one cares displays the over importance of big egos in the industry . The ending is silly . ! Catch the summer reruns for the one . |
403,278 | 453,228 | 1,222,611 | 9 | One of the better episodes ! | In The beginning is a great episode . The story of how Sam is who he is becomes known . The Back to the Future story line has Dean going back to 1973 and meeting his parents . Dean finds a soft easy going father instead of the harden marine . I believe John Winchesters harden life , the bad event with his wife made John the man he was latter on in life . The Impelia plot twist is great . Dean finds out his mom was a hunter wow . Dean learns one can not change time . We have an eerie warning were Dean understands the past so he can change the future . What about Sam ? for this episode . Worth watching ? What will Dean do ? Why does Dean always have to clean up the messes ? |
403,275 | 453,228 | 1,222,612 | 9 | Prelude to the Season final . | This guy is changing from a human to a flesh eating monster . A hunter says Sam and Dean have to kill him and any offspring from the monster . I believe the guy was changing into a monster . The right decision was made with the boys flaming the monster in the making . The episode is the micro of the macro . Will Sam Metamorphosis into a demonic monster ? Will Dean pull the Gordon on Sam ? These questions will be addressed as the season unfolds . A tease or taste of future events . A good episode . The series gets stronger with each new episode . I just can not wait for next week show . The real Ruby should come out soon or later . I bet Dean will but heads with her . |
402,459 | 453,228 | 106,677 | 9 | This film is gold . | I love this film about the last day of school . This film is too realistic for the writer to just make it up . Sure some of the stuff could be spiced up and some of the character could be merged , but the comments and events remind me of a good story I heared form some friends while we go camping . The freshie day , and the high school jerk etc make this story one of the best . It is directed so well you get the feel you where there , and the script make one under stand what's in the minds of these people . I bet the writer was the chacater Mike in the movie , just call it a wild guess , but it makes sence . I will not ruin the story , but if you love pranks , funny coments , and crazy people you gotta see this one . |
403,024 | 453,228 | 74,279 | 9 | Funny | This movie is cheaply made , and is very stupied . If you take it seriously then you will hate this movie . A few drinks latter you will love Premen Watters ( the singing cowboy ) . If you love cars , crashes , and cheap humor rent it . The German auto racer make this movie worth renting all by himself . |
403,254 | 453,228 | 942,145 | 9 | The insane are sometimes not . | I like how the insane guy knows something up , and the people who are normal disbelieve . The robot man from the security guard had it right . Dean and Sam have a mission which is wrinkled , because of the security guard's interference . I love the slow burn last quarter of the show . Dean's comments we are so screwed is great . How they get out of this episode is brilliant . Well directed , acted and written is why Supernatural is the best show on television . Supernatural is the New England Patriots of Television . 9 out 10 . When will they put a classic ZZ top song on a episode ? Will the FBI be in season 3 ? I be the bank robbery will haunt the brother in season 3 ? The FBI has to be in several of season 3 episodes ? |
402,482 | 453,228 | 326,905 | 9 | Rangers all the way ! | If you like watching the history channel like I do you ' The Great Raid ' is the summer movie for you . Not a flaw in The great raid . Directed and acted well . The script follows the historical and personal stories well . Movie is better than Pearl Harbor . The acting schools are better than years ago , and shows that no film needs a 9 million dollar actor which kills the budget , with cheap sets , and no script rewrite . Many years ago the need for name actors helped . Some of the no name actors do better films and acting , while the Julia Roberts , and Tom Cruises live on past glories and have been in disappointing films , with tired roles . Nice to not see all the computer animation in a film for a change , which is getting old . 9 or . Nice to see a film which tells the story like it is . Not have all the Hollywood made up baloney . I rather watch the Duke if the film is fictitious . Good movie |
403,168 | 453,228 | 851,031 | 9 | Good mix of humor and drama | I found the Supernatural episode Simon Said a good mix of humor and drama . Simon Said reminds me of the movie Scaners , which they show on Showcase all the time , without the exploding heads . Andy is a good natured person who has this Scaner ability , which can make people do his will . Asks for Dean's car and has it , and Andy's gift has no effect on Sam . Simon Said has a evil twin and Sam question what does the demon have in store for him which adds to the drama . Jo and Dean have the sexual tension / humor part were Jo plays a R E O speed wagon song that Dean keeps singing I just can keep stop loving you in the car . . What will Dean and Jo have in store for next season . Great show were you will laugh , but stay glued for the ending . |
402,447 | 453,228 | 418,279 | 9 | Transformers is just a fun movie to watch ! | Transformers is just a fun movie to watch . The viewer get to relieve his or her childhood . The four great qualities the movie has is ( 1 ) great special effects , ( 2 ) a 1980's Spielberg feel , ( 3 ) Fast pace , and ( 4 ) Lots of humor . The special effects were just over the top . The beginning scene were the helicopter transforms at the military base is great . I write no more or ruin the movie . Spielberg has a certain 1980's quality for movies and if the viewer has watched ET , Raiders , or Back to the Futurethey see similarities . A Marty Mc Fly character similarity with the lead protagonist . Michael Bay created a scary fast pace directing similar to The ' Texas Chainsaw Massacre ' . Transformers is a surreal film . The section 7 part of the film is hilarious . I love the section 7 agent . The movie is entertaining for both kids and adults . . I would watch ' Transformers ' again . |
403,255 | 453,228 | 309,698 | 9 | You don't need a big budget to make a great picture | This movie is influenced by Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho . A 03's version , with quite a few twists . If you watch the film carefully you see , clues for the ending . I caught a few , and missed others . Nice to see something fresh , without a social message . A film about what just is . Interesting , but sad , I wonder if such things really happen ? |
402,977 | 453,228 | 878,590 | 9 | I believe this episode will be used next season . | I believe this episode will be used in season 3 as a reference of a future problem . Town residence disappear after a demonic virus infect's people through blood contact . What happened to all those people will eventually be discovered . The character development of Dean as cold blooded and out of control is revealed . Dean's salvation is with how he handled the possible infection of his brother . A few funny spots were Dean says I don't swing that way , and the guy who had Mr Rogers as a neighbor is great . Well directed and acted . I love the story and the reference to ' Night of the living Dead ' . A zombie idea storyline . |
402,352 | 453,228 | 120,188 | 9 | Surprised | I was surprised when I left this film . I did not think highly of this film when I went to see it , but when I left it the film blew my mind . In todays , world of cynicism Rambo , heroes , and Regan became 80ish and Cliton , Pulp Fiction , and brutial realism reflects the late 90's culter . This film is on the mark for the late 90's feel of brutial realism . A film that show how stupid military people can be . How brutial deat is . The human side of all people . It is not afraid to be un politically correct with realistic acting that shows good and bad sides of people . A good film . |
402,488 | 453,228 | 884,328 | 9 | One good movie | King's books and short stories transfer well to film . The Mist is a story about creturs from another dimension , and peoples reactions to the new dangerous environment . The story is similar to a socialology study , with subplot about people over reacting to extremes . I guess that is why the military is trained to react in a cold , not to panic condition . The characters , become suspicious of one another . Character start blaming one another , becoming judgmental of each person , and start to using violence etc . Well acted and directed . Each scene leave the viewer interested in the next scene . The brutal ending leaves the message about people's breaking points . A tragic ending where the protagonist becoming irrational , and makes a emotional decision . . Do not miss this film . |
402,916 | 453,228 | 1,032,132 | 9 | It's Groudhog day | I love how ' Supernatural ' can create a parody and turn it upside down . Sam , just like in the movie ' Ground Hog Day ' is reliving the same Tuesday over and over . The episode ' Mystery Spot ' pays many homages to the movie ' Ground Hog Day ' . One example is Sam catching the Tobasco sauce bottle in the diner . The character Dean even uses a reference towards the movie ' Ground Hog Day ' . A funny episode , watching Sam's frustration over the circumstance and how goofy and annoying Dean can be . There is some dark humor in this episode regarding what happens to Dean ! A hug plot twist with a character from the past and what is going to happen in the future . Still the best show on TV . Better than Jericho . |
402,921 | 453,228 | 1,032,130 | 9 | WoW great episode . | Wow great episode ! ' Dream a little Dream of me ' is a cross between the 1980's classic horror movies ' Dreamscape ' , ' A Nightmare on Elm street ' and ' Altered States . Dean and Bobby face personal demons , and a crazy dream killer like Freddy Kruger , but more like the villain from ' Dreamscape ' . Sam figures out the solution , just like in the movie Dreamscape . Well written , the script is a great homage of horror movies past . Excellent acting , and many subplots for future shows . I wonder if Bella pulls her evil stunts to get Dean's attention . Bad attention is better than no attention at all . . Still the best show on TV . Funny , in a strange way , how the other network pits the macho show ' Jericho ' in the same time frame against ' Supernatural ' . Supernatural will win . I wonder if they will ever pay homage to the Canadian horror classic ' Scanners ' ? |
402,468 | 453,228 | 278,504 | 9 | Very European | I find European films can be either extremely well done , or done on a low budget ; where a quality story is replaced with shock value . ( ie nudity and bizarre events ) Much , like today's real life TV where shock replaces a high budget for ratings . I never seen the Swedish version , ( it may be Norway , or Finland ) of this film , and it must be excellent . I figure if a producer will spend big money on a remake it will be good like Unfaithful . The European film story is usually more complex than North American style . I like this film's story , where the cop gets caught in a pickle , and can not incriminate himself . This is a story of strings , where bad choices can pull other strings and create other problem . The killer tries to make himself be like the cop , but he gives clues that this is an untruth . In the end , another cop is given the same choice , and that leaves an impression on the viewer . Like Unfaithful one see the ramification of there actions . |
403,171 | 453,228 | 440,963 | 9 | The best film this summer so far ! | The best film this summer so far ! Ulitmatum gives the series redemption from the disappointing Bourne Surpremacy . Well directed and acted , with strong character development . Noash the handler and the CIA director are the evil characters , while Nicky and others can not handle the guilt of the job , having a human side . The evil vs good premise is Bourne's personality . Bourne lives with his guilt as an assassin , but can still be a heartless machine . Ever scene Bourne is vigilant , alert , and thinking . Bourne is intelligently tactical he does one thing as subterfuge , while accomplishing another . Add in spectacular car chases , chases , and fights we have a great movie . Bourne mercy , and kindness saves his life in the end . |
402,979 | 453,228 | 835,248 | 9 | Poor Gordon . | Poor Gordon , ever knew a guy who was a jerk who just did not get it ? Well , the character Gordon is the poster boy for I just don't get it ! Dean and Sam suffer with the emotional trauma of their dad's death . Dean is not facing the huge burden of the trauma and latches onto Gordon . Sam being smarter in his own way , gets hit for addressing Dean's problem . Dean who saved Gordon early on kicks Gordon's butt . Gordon acts and fights in true jerk form . Dean like myself hits Gordon when tied up too a chair , and says now I'am better . Does Gordon learn after this ? No ! Gordon will always place second against the Winchester boys . The real story for ' Blood Lust ' is the story of the two brothers dependence on each other . I found the crux of the story is where Sam and Dean learn / grow from each others character flaws . The flat character Gordon who is hateful is a contrast of what the Winchesters are not . . Gordon should have just left the Winchesters alone . |
402,538 | 453,228 | 324,216 | 9 | It made me jump . | It made me jump twice and I never jump at horror movies . This film was exciting and I got my moneys worth . It has a message about minding ones business in it . The part that is scary is its believability . They made the film as if it could have happened . I like that , well see it before video . You really get to hate the bad people in this one . |
402,454 | 453,228 | 954,422 | 9 | Mayor Gray gets help | I love this show . The Marines come to town in order to help , but are they really Marines ? Mayor Gray tries to bribe the Marines with food , etc . The old Mayor ( his dad ) gets wind of the con job being pulled on the town . He sees the inconsistency of the military behavior as he was in the military himself and hears the town's fireworks from the command base and knows something is amiss . I will not ruin the rest but the town gets a tank out of the deal . Great directing , big budget , and strong acting . . This show gives Supernatural a run for the money . I cannot wait for the next season . My favorite episode . I think it starts showing here in Canada in February sometime . I hope the strike is not going to delay the showing . I hope the evil mayor from the other town receives payback . |
403,037 | 453,228 | 90,605 | 9 | I rate this movie a 9 | This is a good film , nothing really compares to this film . I find it original , the acting is strong , the cast is strong , a excellent story , and incredible effects . This film is a great thriller , and Bill Paxion plays a great role . The ending is truly memorable , and one of the most exciting ending I ever seen . |
402,976 | 453,228 | 890,836 | 9 | Sam and Dean | My wife love this episode . There is many ' The Shinning ' references for this show IE room 237 . The story is about a ghost who formally lived there , and the destruction of anyone who tries to destroy the old inn . The drunk Sam part show ' Sam's pain and a softer side of Dean taken care of them . The old door man add a lot of humor , and asks Dean if he is going go cheepo on him for a tip . A bar scene with Dean is similar to the Loyd the bartender in ' The Shinning ' . The two girls in the ending remind me of the shinning also . Plaything is a tribute to the above mention movie . Grandma save the day for the movie while Sam and Dean are left wondering how the problem resolved . A surprise ending . I give the brother a tie on this hunt . Yes the dolls are creepy . They were mistaken for a couple in this show instead of brothers . |
403,155 | 453,228 | 75,148 | 9 | Stalone's best | As much as the media mocks Stallone , he won best picture for this film . He will never top this film , which made him a icon . It's a story about a down on his luck loan collector / boxers who gets a one time shot at the heavy weight championship , because of a late pull out by a contender , and the champ does not want to lose his money on the deal . There is romance between Rocky and his new girl friend who lives just as hard of a life as Rocky , and together they make life livable . The rest of the cast is other down and outers who give the viewer a feeling of hopelessness until Rocky gets his chance . This film is touching , and unforgettable . |
402,894 | 453,228 | 73,195 | 9 | That was no boating accident It certainly was no boating accident , as the eating machine ran amuck . Great movie , great lines , suspense , and Robert Shaw as the old captain with his story about the Idianaplous made this a landmark for other films to follow . To bad they made Jaw's 2 , 3 , 4 and whatever else . No matter how often I see this film it is like the first time I saw it . Let us hope they never decide to make a Jaw's 12 .
402831 453228 99685 9.0 What can I say This movie is alot like the movie Mean streats , but with a higher budget . I read the book Wise guy " and the movie follow the book well . When I read a book I have piture go threw my head of what I am reading , and this moive did this with out myself having to read the book again . Beliveable , and directed in the manner of the author telling the story . The art of story tell is a lost one with many the entertainment industry marketing for a public with a short attenion span , but in the world of Jerry Springer , and professional wrestling , where the product is directed at a 2 second attention span this moive cuts down the quick fix mentaliy of our time . This is a well crafted film , which has a story told and unravels in proper fourm . This is a nice break from factory made fourmulated moives where you can guess the script 10 minitues into the movie . Like the music industry where all the county music and dance music sounds the same , alot of movie go this route , this movie stands out from the repetition . | null |
402,978 | 453,228 | 859,555 | 9 | One of the better episodes | This series has many clever hooks for the audience . Such hooks are the tribute to the ' Exorcist ' with Blair , and a cute mention about her at the end of the show . I find supernatural does all sorts of tributes to horror movie . Red rum is mentioned with the Dana Schults deal , a tribute to the Shinning . The episode shows how smart the Winchester boy are with the police . Perfect how one brother helps the other . Sam this time plays the lead . Dean add the comic relief . A good mystery . I like how the bad cop is annoyed with Dean . I don't want to say more or I will ruin the show . The story has one mystery Dana Schults which really leads to another . . One of the better ones for season two . Glad I bought the second season . |
402,840 | 453,228 | 198,781 | 9 | This one is on my list to buy | This movie was absolutely funny . John Goodman does an excellent voice for Sully . The animation was great . The facial expressions with the voices were out of this world . This movie is for everyone . It seems the animation is getting better and better , but you still have to get the perfect voices for each character . Steve Buscemni plays as slime ball again . This seems to be the only character he does well . Billy Crystal was great too , but as I said John Goodman was the best . The story was consistent and funny through out . I was surprised to hear the voice of James Coburn . The ending left room for a part II if they want to do one , but it will be very hard to beat this one . |
403,236 | 453,228 | 216,216 | 9 | Under rated | The film only lasted a week in the theater , and I did not get a chance to see it . The critics did not like this film , but I believe liberal factions in media and a republicanish Arnold seem to be at odds , and Arnold get a fair share of criticism . In the paper I read , the anti American critic reviewed this movie very harshly . When reading the review I thought this movie would be a stinker like eraser , the same done that seen that before action film . Well , I was very wrong , taking philosophy at the University I found this to be a philosophical action film . The story enters a topic of what if in the future we could clone ready made humans , what impact would it have . Well , not to spoil the story you can guess Arnold gets cloned , and the bad guy has this belief in eternal life . Is the person real , does he or she have a soul . Along with some cheap laughs , and fancy futuristic special effect this movie was fun to watch . I laugh when people portray Arnold , because he is a big weight lifter , as dumb , unable to speak , or think rationally ; a movie like this show his philosophical side of acting . |
402,386 | 453,228 | 75,520 | 9 | The Best movie about Jesus I seen so far . | This is a long TV mini series about Jesus , but when I watched it over 3 days it did not appear that long . It was relatively accurate and believable . Stacey Keach played Barrabas well . He did not even have a line in this movie . He just looked stressed . This film is very touching , but it appears rushed as Jesus did so much . It would take more than a mini series to examine his life further . I wish they did , but maybe that will come . They got the message right in the film . It is a message of hope with the empty tomb . It saddens me this film , because hope is so hard to find in this world . It would of been amazing to see what Jesus would of been like in our world . |
403,340 | 453,228 | 70,735 | 9 | Redford and Newman need I say more . | Redford and Newman go beyond good acting , and their names apitamise greatness . With a great script these actors know no bounds . The Sting is a classic that never shows its age . It was the first movie I ever saw , at age 4 , when the family went to the Drive-In . This movie could pass being made last year . A script with twist , bends , and dives ; with characters you love and ones you hate . Acting that is believable , and historically accurate . The best performance of Robert Shaw's career , he outshone Redford and Newman . This film is exceptional , and one of a few movies ABC showed for around 13 years after its release . |
403,159 | 453,228 | 125,454 | 9 | cute bird | Spoiler This is a great film about a conure . He goes through quite the ordeal trying to get back to his little girl owner . He learns a lot through his journey and meets up with a lot of other beautiful birds . If you love birds like my wife does , this film is for you . This film also has some sad parts that make the tears run . In the end it all works out for Paulie and his Russian friend . Rent this for the whole family , everyone will enjoy this . |
403,098 | 453,228 | 101,540 | 9 | Powerful film | This is one of Martin's better films . Powerful , I have seen the original and he modernized this film . The character become believable . Nick Nolte is a guy who makes mistakes , and faces a moral judgement when defending a client , and his character has the resolve to do what he did . Robert De Niro is evil , some people's main personality traits can simply be described as evil . I like the part where he studies Neitch , a major personality trait of his being . His 14 years in prison were only training in education , philosophy , exercise , and the art of war . Equally evil as when he entered prison , but even more dangerous when he left . I understand the frustration he felt working in a little 4 by 4 sortation case at the post office , when they show the scene of him being frustrated in his cell waiting to be unleashed . He plays the art of psychological warfare , and slowly turns the violence up . The private eye character is great , and the only expert to handle him . In the end , Nolte's actions lead to his character's fate . Chaos theory |
402,783 | 453,228 | 363,547 | 9 | Fast paced | Spoiler This film is well paced . My wife likes the original better , but my opinion differs from hers . I , personally , find that over the years , directing , film quality , acting , editing , and special effects have improved . I see this improvement with this film . The film makers made the story different enough from the original , that the view is not watching a repeat . It starts out well , with the nurse and others finding a strange infection , no one knows how it starts , the nurse and husband should have been paying attention to the TV . Morning comes and this is the best part of the film , anarchy happens , like how I believe events would really happen , ie . the van hitting the car . This movie shows how attitudes have changed over the years , with lots of the characters having jerkitist , I find this very realistic , this jerkitist plague we have today is spreading fast like the zombies . This fits into the story , I am surprised no one has picked up on the story's social message . This zombie plague is brought on my humanity as a punishment , the evil that we do . When the minister said when hell is full the dead will walk the earth . This means the Zombies are the damned , humanity was so bad they filled up hell and had no other place to go but with the living . They are suffering on earth , and prey on the living out of rage . That is why they do not care about the dog in the movie . That is why going to an island or under water or anywhere doesn't matter ; the damned will just walk across the lake they can't die , just their body does . The film shows how no one cares and causes this effect , except for a few . In the end , humanity was damned this is how I interpret this film . What caused it is for your own mind to make up . Mike |
403,217 | 453,228 | 398,017 | 9 | Best movie so far this year ! | Best movie so far this year ! I can usual see the plot twists , and story lines in a film . However , I was surprised , and shocked . Wow , what a ending , and the film has a couple of twist in the ending too . A guy gets himself into a pickle , and just can not get out of the jar . The guy really has to squeeze his way out of the jar with this movie . There is a lesson here about people putting them selves in their own predicaments . I really hate the bad guy in this movie . Well , directed , written , and acted . A twisted and dark movie . Reminds me of the film Shattered . . Influenced by the film Fatal attraction , but gritter . The environment changes the protagonist . |
402,876 | 453,228 | 89,941 | 10 | 10 Perfection | Spoilers . This film is excellent , one can watch this over and over and not bore of it . The director sets the mood , shows how cold it was , and gave the characters a human element . Voight and Roberts should have better careers judging on their performances . I would not trust either of them . They have human elements , but also can turn into a beast in 2 seconds . The Warden who handles monsters has become one in the process . The script is strong and builds ups without bad lines ruining the scenes . I like the details in the film that give it the human touch . The railway switch operator likes to watch when he has to derail the train . The warden puts the train director's head into the toilet after his rude behavior and the lazy secretary's behaviour reflects real life . In the end , I love this film . |
402,951 | 453,228 | 1,107,710 | 10 | Funny story | Funny story . The show is back on track . Humor , drama , and plot twists for other shows all rolled into one . The rabbit's foot sub-story is just as funny as ' Tall Tales ' . Dean's sarcasm , and silliness is over the top . I love Dean's I'm Batman part of the show , and Sam gave the usual whatever reply . Unfortunately , Gordon is back with a new crazy friend . For parity ( Sam's problem is Gordon ) Dean's new antagonist is Bella . Funny , how Dean bothers Bella just like Joe ! I love how Dean and Bella try to out do each other . The ending is great . I believe Gordon is coming back for round 3 . Doesn't Gordon ever learn ? . Not a lot of the Impala in this episode . |
403,023 | 453,228 | 66,206 | 10 | excellent | A must see for any war movie buff . Few , movies have some one who actually knew the man the story was written about ; this movie protrayed Patton excellently because of this . The battles and portrayal of the Germans is also done perfectly . |
402,668 | 453,228 | 763,065 | 10 | Something Wicked this way comes . | I wonder if the old horror movie ' Something Wicked this way comes ' is the inspiration for the writers or writer of this episode . The idea of kids and the evil man is similar . This episode is well directed and acted . The story has twists , which blend well with the different types of music used for the episode . The viewer learns about Dean's childhood ( or lack of ) , and Dean's sacrifice for Sam . One understand Dean's connection with his brother , twisted view of life , and absolute awe of John Winchester ( his father ) . Great Horror movie special effects , and funny pranks ( aka the swimsuit inspector gag ) make for a great show . . One see a bit of ' Darkness Falls ' and ' They ' night terror influence in the movie . Most people can relate with a night terror plot from our childhood memories . I love this show . |
403,017 | 453,228 | 120,784 | 10 | Excellent | Any movie , where the doctor takes a huge slung of whisky before he operates is my kind of movie . Then he pours the whisky over Porter , to clean his wounds , before he operates . This film has style , and the casting is unbelievable , with actors asking so much money , it is hard to believe they got such a talented cast to do this movies . Porter , Val , and the rest play such great parts , and the movies style , very 70's , is done in subtle ways . ( aka roter phones ) This movie could be a very routine , typical , bad guys movie , its style , wit , and intelligences makes it a strong movie . Unlike , many action films it never insults the viewer's intelligences , and one becomes very involved in this film . I will not ruin the story line ; all I can say is rent it today . |
402,869 | 453,228 | 246,460 | 10 | They finally got it right for Pierce . | Spoiler ! ! After three movies as Bond , the producers finally got it right . It has got to be Bronsan's best as Bond . It is more comparable to Roger Moore in the Man with the Golden Gun . They finally did changes in that it was different than the other Bond films . Halle Berry had to many cheesy quips . The beginning is different where he actually gets apprehended . The music score shows his ordeal and actually suits the film . Many new parts of the film has the viewer guessing . They make this Bond more dirtier especially in the fight scenes . They went back to the Sean Connery type of Bond . The sword fight was great . It reminded me of the movie the duelest . They are finally running out of Communist countries that Bond can go to ; North Korea and Cuba only remain . The car scene at the end of the movie was terrific . The endings of the movie are getting predictable . This is the 3rd movie where they use a satellite . See this one in the theater , it is worth it . Does Madonna look old in this film ; she has not aged well . |
402,611 | 453,228 | 460,681 | 10 | Best show on TV today | Super Natural is the best show on TV today . Nice to see low budget reality TV fade away , and even worse Jerry Springer over the top style shows . I love the super bad car , and love the relationship of the one sensitive brother who is balanced with the macho / cool brother . The plots very , with interesting spooky stories mixed with humor . The characters and the stories have believability to them , which creates a levity for the show . No social messages or hidden meanings , just normal people and towns with strange happenings . My wife noticed one of the guys is from Days of are lives . I can see the actor going to the big screen one day . . Get your VCRs warmed up and tape the show if you work nights like I do . Unfortunately , there are only 8 episodes . Hopefully , they will continue and make more for next season . |
402,334 | 453,228 | 1,222,600 | 10 | Another good episode | Another good episode . Sex and violence seems to be the staple of any show on TV today . I believe sex and violence grabs the viewer's primeval urges . I found Sex and Violence interesting . Siren the Greek Mythological beast who causes the downfall of many a man is the Winchester's foe . The script has murders happening , without reason and with the killer killing a loved one . The part I love is the pheromones the beast creates which create the high one obtains during the honeymoon period of any relationship . Is the woman who is interested in Sam the Siren ? No . The Siren is a FBI agent who is actually a male not a female who befriends Dean . This plot twist is excellent . Dean being the alpha male has no trouble meeting women , but real friendship with men is difficult . Many guys are intimidated or jealous of Dean . Who Dean needs to love is another male friend . The battle with the Siren ends nasty . I give Sex and Violence a 10 . We see a further split between the Winchester brothers , is this a prelude for things to come . |
402,858 | 453,228 | 1,222,599 | 10 | The first 10 of the season ! | After School Special is a great episode . The theme of high school , and how people do not fit is real life . Many people get emotionally mauled in high school . Funny , my work place is like that . An angry spirit haunts a school , which the Winchesters once attended . Two plots twisted together . One with the brothers past , which is the cause of the vengeful spirit in the present . Well done from the beginning to the end . Supernatural's back in high gear , like the series first two seasons . I give After School Special a . A hint about the show Dean wears his welcome out as always , while Sam blends in . Great character development ! I love the part where Dean is the old school gym coach . Did they really ban dodge ball from school ? |
402,327 | 453,228 | 612,011 | 10 | Hey Gene Hackmen in this one ! | Hey , Gene Hackmen in the ' Spores ' . The best show in the series so far . The 1978 Invasion of the Boddy Snatchers got many ideas from the Spores . The Invaders came out with these spores which will grow Invaders . Gross looking guys these spores are . The plot device which masters this show greatly is the suitcase which contains the spores . Let's just say the Invaders have a real headache trying to find this suitcase again . What is wrong with these Invaders ? They are always having accidents along with their awful security . I give the show a . David Vicent has his hands full with this one . If you are just going watch one episode of The Invaders view The Spores . |
402,433 | 453,228 | 332,452 | 10 | I will buy the DV | Spoiler ! ! The best movie so far for 2004 . Well acted with a strong cast , no one is weak in their role . This will be Brad Pitt's break through role . Finally a leading role , instead of a smaller role to display his talents ; another Heston . The director keeps a great pace between the action , personalities , and the film's development . Fast , yet not to fast , like many video game style movie , where the viewer can absorb the movie . The fight between Hector and Achilles is a present day classic , that will be copied and remembered for years . The script shows the actions and characters as human who thought and believed before Christian time . 3 d characters who were both bad and good , this is not a good guys and bad guys script more like a reality investigation . I am sure with time , and filming some parts were wrong or shorten , but I gained a better understanding of classic history . Thank you Wolfgang ! I wish you the best , and keep making these believable portrayals , instead of bombarding the viewer with politically correct agenda . |
402,720 | 453,228 | 118,040 | 10 | This film is unforgettable | This film is unforgettable , and I give it a 10 . This is a murder mystery with a twist where the man who needs his name cleared tries a experimental drug which gives the user other peoples memories . A lot better than Matlock , seen it done it before story line . Quite the surprise ending , and watching the drug's affects make me cringe . Rent this one . |
402,808 | 453,228 | 93,870 | 10 | Realistic Cartoon | I went to this movie with skepticism , and left loving it . Fictitious , but with realism in the what if extent of the possibility of this happening . This is a good film about the victim finding out the question of Who am I . When the guy gets fired , you will understand how that goes with the prime directive . The commercials , and news stories create humor , and realism at the same time . I love the dark humor , they use the dad from " That 70's show " as a heel , with a lot of humor when he does a hit , where they play a video cd . The end is great , and the film goes full circle , but you got to laugh at what happens to the Ed 90 , and I love those Cobra Assault guns . Rent this if you love Sci-fi . |
403,157 | 453,228 | 107,048 | 10 | Funny all the way through | Not many comedies keep their momentum all the way through , but this one does . I laughed at this movie until the end , and I gave it a 10 . No mater how many times I watch it or know the jokes ahead of time I still laugh . This film is like a old joke that never goes stale . Well written , by SCTV's Harold Ramius , this film brings a fresh approach to comedy . Bill Murrey is the best sort of jerk type guy for the role of a individual who has to live the same day over until he gets it right . Buy this one ! |
402,395 | 453,228 | 268,978 | 10 | I Can't Believe Crowe did not win best actor for this | I can not believe Denzel Washington beat Crowe out for best actor on this . Russel Crowe acted circles around Washington . I believed this is his best role . It will be hard for him to beat this . He was great in Gladitor but even better in A Beautiful Mind . It was a sad movie where one overcomes one's disability through one's special gift . They aged him through out the movie and did a fantastic job doing it . I found the movie very inspiring . This one is a must see and a must own . I wish I would of seen it in the theatre . |
402,665 | 453,228 | 761,316 | 10 | My second favorite episode of the first season . | The first ' Superalnatural ' show I ever saw and I was blown away . I love the writing for ' Providence ' . The cars in the parking lot compared to the 67 beast of a car . Dean thinks the gallery owner is a waiter . The girl's attraction to Sam is perfect . A real date conversation . Dean is right Sam should have married her . The eyelash scene is great . The sub-plots blended in with the Killer painting story , which keeps the viewer anticipating for more . . The ending is great with a strong plot twist . . Providence has a scene of style . I can not wait for next season . There is a passion with this show , great directing , and acting . |
402,493 | 453,228 | 1,032,138 | 10 | Sam get's attacked by a cougar | . A great story well acted and directed . Sam and Dean battle a cursed object . Humor rules this episode with the following plot devices : Dean takes hits at the expense of his Impala . Bella becomes Sam and Dean's problem . The Bella , Dean rivalry begins , and the sexual tension starts . Sam has sexual tension of his own and takes a hit for the mission , while Dean calls Sam a cougar hound . ( the best comic part of the show ) Sam reminds the women of her late husband . The show has the usual twist , and different endings . Bella will most definitely return for a later show . I like this show . On a more serious note Sam and Dean are starting to fight with Dean's character flaw of not caring about him self hero mode at the expense of others . |
402,685 | 453,228 | 387,564 | 10 | WOW I just SAW this movie ! | Spoiler . . . . ' Saw " the movie is a perfect 10 ; well directed , acted , scripted , and all done on a low budget ! The direction and story go hand and hand ; the movie starts out as a mystery with the actors tell their stories . The characters stories intertwine , and meld together . Each individual story adds too the tension . There is a demented reality in this film which adds real scares . What evil lurks in the heart of an evil and insane man is revealed . This insane tension shows the directors skill , and the no name actors ' ability . One could have a lower budget movie , without the over rated , and over paid actors in it . Where a 15 millions dollar payday only hurts the film's budget , and the movie over all . The only notable actor is Danny Glover aka Lethal Weapon . The conclusion tells all of motives , reasons , and why the film is called saw . I never saw the ending when it hit me . |
403,347 | 453,228 | 1,018,484 | 10 | I like this show | The nasty neighbor to Jericho attacks . Jona comes to the town's aid as part of a crime deal . Out-gunned and equipped the team of Green / Hawkens similar to Brady / Moss in football comes to the rescue . Hawkens can use cool toys like satellite imaging , along with lots of guns and even a nuke is a very useful dude for the town . The tank they got from the other episode is a major surprise for the enemy . Green's dad gets hit , and dies , a major loss for the town . The young Green is rising for a leadership role . I never seen a show like this before great . Big budget , good acting , and an intriguing storyline . I wonder if Green is going to get that nasty mayor of the other town , for his dad's death and the torture of his brother . |
403,018 | 453,228 | 82,694 | 10 | can see this one over and over again | If society broke down I believe this film would be extremely close to what one would have to live in . See the original first before you see the road warrior . The films characters Wes , Max , the kid etc each play their role so well it makes a believable sci fi . Will Max get out of this jam ? Will the good people find a new home . Will the rethed road scavengers go to even new lows ? With out ruining this film these questions make for a great story . Watch for a very nast Mel Gibson ( aka pay back ) in this one . Can not say any more or I will ruin this one . |
402,749 | 453,228 | 88,763 | 10 | Great movie | One of the last movies I went with sister to see back in 86 . The film blew my mind . My friends never wanted to see this one . I was happy I went . Many year's latter , I bought " Back to the Future " at Mc Donalds for $2 . 99 or for some other low price with a meal . The film ages well , and I love it just the same . The director and screen writer mixes science fiction , humor , and action perfectly . A big component of the script is time line theory which drives the story . Marty has many problems to fix , and finds out more than anyone wants to know about their parents . Michael J Fox and Christopher Loyd were excellently casted . Marty and Doc what a chemistry . With the film series one see the many dualities with time travel , that become a constant with the movie . The town clock , being awoke in a strange place , and letters . Keep this in mind when watching the 2 other sequels . The theory that time repeats itself is evident . What a time machine , the Delorian adds to this movie . Worth watch over again . ! Thank you TBS for showing all 3 films . |
402,583 | 453,228 | 987,715 | 10 | Good show | What is and never should be is great insight into the character development of the two main protagonists . I love how the show talks about Dean's need for family stability ; Sam and Dean's relationship is glued by their work ; They are so different they complement each other . Dean's over confidence cause the show trouble , and his duty and honor is his salvation . Dean's life would be one of trouble if he never had the outlet of hunting . The monster is well done . The ending gives the reason for the mission , and create round characters out of Sam and Dean . . Watch the summer rerun . What is and never should be is a fresh and different episode which build depth for the series . |
403,021 | 453,228 | 77,474 | 10 | excellent | Bruce Durn at his best . If you're a fan of Bruce Durn then rent it today . This movie is one of Durn's best performance . The ruf edge this story conveys , makes for a good 70's car chase movie . The ending of this movie will not disappoint the viewer , as the movie leads up for its interesting conclusion . |
402,782 | 453,228 | 335,345 | 10 | The best movie so far this year . | Spoilers So far , this year is a bad year for movies . Until The Passion of the Christ came out this year is the most forgettable for movies . This movie is a 10 because it is made so well . Directing , acting , lighting etc . If the viewer never understood Roman corporal and capital punishment they will after seeing this film . I pray the Rosary , and Tuesdays and Fridays meditations is on the crucifixion , and I believe this is where Gibson bases this film on . The viewer better understands the sacrifice Jesus made for man , and the trials and events that unfold during Good Friday . This film is directed exceptionally well , if one did not read the sub-titles they could still follow the story because of the pace and direction of Gibson's film . Is it realistic ? Yes very much like the meditations themselves . Should everyone see it ? No not young kids . Will it win any awards ? It should win best picture but leftwing Hollywood would never politically do this . The realism of Gibsons interpretations is helped with great details . The guard whos heart changes , after Jesus heals him . The brutal guards enjoy their work , one can understand why these guards where chosen for this job . They do it so well they get into trouble for over doing it . Judas anxiety is believable . These minor details give this film creditability . The location is excellent ; I wish too visit this town one day . Pilots handling the situation is shown extremely well , Pilot has the best performance of the show . I know that I understand the crucifiction better after viewing this film . |
402,829 | 453,228 | 108,358 | 10 | Best Wester I've seen ! ! ! | This movie's casting is excellent , each actor executed his role perfectly . Val Kilmer will never equal his performance as Doc Holliday , and Kurt Russel brought Earpp to life . I watched a show on Earpp's life before going to this movie , and it's script is historically close . The unbelievable events in this movie is true , and life , sometimes , is more bazaar then fiction . The way this story is crafted , and the director's feel for the era is well executed . The movie left a feeling of being educated and entertained at the same time . |
403,115 | 453,228 | 1,000,536 | 10 | I love this one | Dean Winchester is funny . Sam and Dean go to prison . Dean fits in too well and Sam say do you see a problem with fitting in so well ? Dean say no in very well adjusted manner . If one watches the show they see the humor of Sam and Dean's banter . The film quality , acting , and supporting actors make this show above average . The director's vision of cons and sets is great for the adage and ambiance of Folson prison blues . The old mind your own business con is great with his helpful but not too helpful attitude . Folson prison blues ends excellently , and the special effect are movie quality . . Catch the re-run this Summer ! |
402,526 | 453,228 | 68,646 | 10 | perfect | This movie is strong , good script , great casting , excellent acting , and over the top directing . It is hard to fine a movie done this well , it is 29 years old and has aged well . Even if the viewer does not like mafia type of movies , he or she will watch the entire film , the audiences is glued to what will happen next as the film progresses . Its about , family , loyalty , greed , relationships , and real life . This is a great mix , and the artistic style make the film memorable . |
403,227 | 453,228 | 450,385 | 10 | The first 10 of the year and summer . | 1408 is the best film I have seen all year , and probably the best film of the summer . Jaskson plays a excellent hotel manager who tries to convince Mike , the author , not to stay in room 1408 . The room evolves into a personal hell , and a haunting all in one . The way Mike figures to survive is brilliant . I do not want to write more and ruin the film . The directing is excellent . The movies tension is unbearable . I never get scared at movie and felt the fear . The camera angles and special effect were woven perfectly into a flawless story . Stphen King is a brilliant writer . Do not rent 1408 , run do not walk to go see the movie . I would rather watch in the movie house then on DVD . A great drive in movie . |
402,882 | 453,228 | 88,247 | 10 | Arnie's best | This film is a sci-fi classic . The story is about time lines and how one event affects another . This film is great . I like the idea of the machines and if you watch closely , one sees Arnold's movements become mechanical , especially in the bar scene . I heard the idea came from and old Outer Limits episode , from the early 60's , starring Lenord Neymod ( Spock ) as the robot . In the end , the circle is complete and the flashbacks , or flash forward melt into the present . This film is a classic , and watch for the cameo appearance of Bill Paxton . |
402,335 | 453,228 | 145,487 | 10 | This one is a winner ! | This is the best comic character since Batman . In fact , I liked this a lot better than Batman . It did not have any slow spots . The acting was well and the characters fitted the comic book characters to a tee . I can not wait for the sequel . I wonder who the villain will be . The special affects were good , but you could tell some was computer graphics . A must see . |
479,416 | 463,200 | 61,217 | 1 | Liked it when I was a kid . . . | I saw this , like most people , on Saturday afternoon TV when I was a kid . As a kid I thought it was OK . Then I saw " It Conquered the World " which this is a ripoff of . OK - - " It . . . " is hardly a masterpiece but compared to " Zontar " it looks like " Gone With the Wind " ! This is a painfully slow movie with atrocious " special " effects and acting so bad you won't believe it . It's shot on threadbare sets where actors just stand around and talk . Why I liked this as a kid I'll never know . I do remember when I first saw Zontar I was scared ( a little ) . Now , as an adult , I howled ! It's a guy in a stupid rubber suit with three obviously fake eyes ! Man , my standards must have been LOW when I was little : ) This is probably Larry Buchanan's worst film ( although " Mars Needs Women " is definitely down there ) and too boring to be bad / good - - just BAD . Even the usually competent John Agar can't save this drivel . Try to see " It . . . " and avoid this . I give it a 0 ! |
478,956 | 463,200 | 65,031 | 1 | Homophobic and dull | A gay couple ( Rex Harrison and Richard Burton ) in 1960s England . Burton is a hairdresser ( of course ) and Harrison is an actor . They complain nonstop , tear each other apart verbally , dress horribly , hate their mothers and are depressed and full of self-loathing . I suppose this was revolutionary in 1969 but it's horribly offensive today . The movie was subtitled " A sad gay story " . The script is dull , the film looks horrible and the actors . . . Harrison minces around and preens so much I got very angry - - a sick , disgraceful performance . I heard he wasn't too proud of it either . Burton is actually OK - - he brings some dignity to his role . But this film is a total waste of time . It just shows gay men as being pathetic lonely creatures and is very condescending . Offensiveness aside it's sleep-inducing - - I kept dozing off ! Sick , depressing , homophobic . . . there's no reason to see this . Makes " Boys in the Band " look like a comedy . Dudley Moore did the music ! ! ! |
479,081 | 463,200 | 105,128 | 1 | Makes the first one look like " Gone With the Wind " | I had vague memories of seeing this when it came out in 1992 . I hated the first one but I had some hope that maybe the sequel would be better . I remember hating it worse than the first one ! Seeing it again last night ( Why ? Damned if I know ) all those feelings came rushing back . The plot is basically a retread of the first - - a spooky cemetary in the Maine woods has the power to bring the dead back to life . Naturally the dead come back as killers . The first one was a cruel , stupid horror film . This one manages to be even crueller and much , much stupider . The script is horrible - - full of unlikable characters and has an extremely mean-spirited tone to it . The movie opens with a young boy seeing his mother electrocuted to death and then cuts to a dog being put to sleep by lethal injection ! That's just the opening - - all through the movie there are vivid scenes of child and animal abuse shoved in your face . It makes you feel dirty and disgusted . Also there's a truly sick ( and unnecessary ) rape scene and pointless female nudity . And there's some really sick , graphic gore . The direction is lackluster and ( with one exception ) all the actors are terrible - - Anthony Edwards appears to be sleepwalking and Edward Furlong is just pathetic in the lead role . The only thing that makes this film bearable is Clancy Brown's hilarious performance as a resurrected sheriff . But that's not enough to sit through this crap . Cruel , sick , badly acted , badly directed , stupid script - - to be avoided at all costs . This definetely does belong in IMDB's bottom 100 . |
477,201 | 463,200 | 118,590 | 1 | Boring , stupid , pointless | As a gay man , I can honestly say I HATED this film . It does TRY to show a certain type of gay man ( obssessed with the gym , high-paying job , can't commit , treats everyone like dirt ) but it fails miserably . Crummy cinematography , really pathetic script ( I couldn't believe the actors actually SPOKE these words without gagging or barfing ) , even worse acting , not ONE sympathetic character , and an ending that doesn't make a bit of sense , seeing it just tells us the same things we've been hearing since the beginning of the movie ! This film actually makes the characters in " The Boys in the Band " seem like positive gay men ! Also , this " group " of people just shows a VERY small portion of the gay society . It also portrays every gay man as a vicious queen . I can't believe a gay man wrote and directed this movie . Talk about " internalized homophobia " ! A total waste of time ( I can't say talent ) . DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE ! ! ! ! ! ! |
