I could barely sit through this nonsense
In the words of Art Bell just after the Kreskin Vegas fiasco . . . lame , lame , lame . The action jumped around like a rabbit on crank , not spending nearly enough time with many of the scenes for a complete telling of the story . The dialogue was tepid and all those rambling songs were just dull , empty filler . The ...

Had they ridden separately this may have been better
This may have been the worst of Stewart's and Widmark's westerns . Part comedy , part drama , it never went all the way in any direction leaving the viewer awash in a horse trough of boring silliness . This was just another in a long line of indian hostage retrieval pictures . Who cast Strode as an injun anyway ?

An abominable bore
For this to have been a comedy , I sure found nothing humorous about it . For it to have had the big name comics in it , I found few laughs . It was one of those films that I thought would never end , as a bunch of folks ran around doing stupid things in an upscale hotel . Pitiful , thumbs down .

huggy , kissy war drudgery
One of the most boring movies I've ever sat through . I kept waiting for some action , and finally got some at the end , but mostly what I saw was a middle aged yankee going bonkers over a very un-Spanish looking woman . There was an overabundance of arguing and infighting among the rebels which accounted for an overab...

The so-called hunters in this film are typical of why P . E . T . A . formed their animal rights group . These boozing bozos , who couldn't even go afield equiped with a pair of boots , sprayed and prayed the woods over until they finally ran some hapless quarry to ground . A trio of these beerheads decide to quit thei...

Another Bronson Bomb
Seems like the early 70's was a bad time for old Chuck B . He put out a series of really bad , boring films during that time and this one stands out in my mind as one of the worst of the bunch . Just a series of senselessly violent scenes coupled with dull dialogue and a dreary story . For diehard Bronson fans only , I...

Tiresome remake
Take an utterly stupid story . Couple it with unprofessional performances , 2 bit graphics , add ultra-lame comedy bits , and you get this film . I thought the original was bad , but at least that story was simple and straightforward , though idiotic . May nobody produce another in this series .

This is a very popular movie , and I don't see why .

Another " masterpiece " from the master of independent film making
Who cares if this is a classic ? It is still a badly done , silly assed zombie dungheap . We see the walking dead breaking into a house , eating crispie critters out of a truck , breaking into a house , chowing down on more flesh and on and on . . . . The director couldn't even make up his mind from shot to shot whethe...

This one didn't raise my spirits much
Another in a long line of ghostly comedies which does little to frighten , and even less to amuse . Getting to eyeball Miss Hannah and the breathy Jen Tilley was a treat , but not enough of one to recommend this dismal film . I wonder if Jennifer will ever make a decent picture . . . but what a sweet , panting voice sh...

bland and unexciting
Besides being pretty dull , I don't see how any of this could have happened . No way could this lunkhead hole up in the attic without being found out on day one . Why didn't someone notice the wall with a door in it ? Three windows were showing from the outside and only 2 inside . Doesn't that give somebody a clue ? Th...

I coulda been watching the IFC channel
Occasionally amusing but for the most part I just sat there and watched these folks go through their paces . This was merely one of those pictures created to fill up a film reel and make a nice payday for a big name actor . A pointless exercise in tedium .

Modesty , a contract spy / hitman , hires out to the British ; her job is finding several million dollars worth of diamonds . Her problem in succeeding is a psychotic billionaire and his lackeys . Miss Blaise and her partner , a stud with a penchant for cutlery , get in and out of a dozen tight spots , finally having a...

When a middle aged man receives word that an old friend has died , he begins remembering his youth in a series of flashbacks . When not involved with his remembrances he is trying to figure out how to dispose of the friend's ashes as per her wishes stated in her will . This must have been a ladies movie ; I found it to...

Chubby short order cook checks out teen waitress
Not exactly a boring film but close . All the characters were just the most pathetic losers imaginable . . . . especially the obese pizza slinger . Those jittery , wet eyes gave me the creeps ; not to mention his mother dominated , go nowhere , do nothing , I have a need but don't know what it is and couldn't fulfill i...

German u-boat plays cat and mouse with allied gunboat in WW1
Rarely have I seen such stilted , hammy , and just plain bad acting . There didn't appear to be a professional performer in the whole picture . And the dialogue ! Gad ! The skipper of the allied vessel came off more like a cheerleader than a leader of men . I still enjoyed the film ; even with all the cornball humor fr...

Greedy , big money oil interests rule
After a fellow employee is murdered , a police detective uncovers a plot by a large oil firm attempting a shady deal . Not a good film , it bogs down too often in it's own complexity . Lots of cloak and dagger double dealing for those who like mystery agents and government / big money conspiracy plans .

At least it was aptly named . . . it offered little else
Why is Hollywood still turning out these films ? Absolutely nothing new in this noisy kaleidoscope of speeding cars , exploding trucks and choppers , and swearing policemen . The gags would have proven funny 30 years ago , but are old hat today . I did like the frozen cadaver sequence , however . The ending of this pic...

Here we go again with the Lost in Space routine . Once again the viewer is saddled with the female commander { this one is being beaten to death } who refers to her subordinates as ' boys ' . This sexism would have created some bitchy dialogue had the roles been reversed . There was simply nothing new offered with this...

When 2 secret government agencies go at each other an innocent young man becomes involved simply over his footwear . This led to his being assaulted by 4 inept hit men , used by a female spy after he falls in love with her , and having his whole life turned inside out . Ok , but not one of Hank's better films .

I couldn't agree more , but the lady wound up finding out that there was more to Heathcliff than a downtrodden , unwashed stable hand . Dreadfully ...

Simplistic look at the coming of the Messiah put to song and music by Cash , Carter , and Kristofferson . I liked the use of the original area in the Mideast for filming but couldn't they have found a more Jewish looking man to portray Christ ? Near the end of the picture the cross scene leapt from Calvary to a modern ...

Mason takes on another seemingly hopeless case when a man murders a talk show host on television in front of 40 million viewers .

Standard connect the dots action / adventure yarn with an abundance of thrills , spills , and chills .

This may not have been as bad as I expected , but it was close . Some may like it but for my money this slop plays strictly for the unsophisticated 40's mentality . Several of the actors were overweight , obviously out of shape grandfatherly types clearly way too old for combat , some of the scenes were obviously paint...

Not bad but another re-run of bad cop / harried citizen . Things were simply too pat for me even though it was fairly well done . I did appreciate the surprise at the end , but not so much the ending itself . I still find Matlin's voice totally irritating .

Oh so British comedy showing unfulfilled Georgy romping through ruddy London waxing from giddy smiles to sniveling tears when her status as a non-mommy hits her .

E . T . with different initials
Fairly interesting yarn with lots of nifty graphics , sights , and sounds . This is not the type of film I usually go for , but the story was solid , the performances strong , and the finale well done . I liked the way the producers turned a tale of ' machinery ' into a love story .

Good spook scenes , but the film was too slow
I enjoyed this production , the old house was impressive and creepy . The scenes with the hammering sounds and the moanings and whispering was very effective . I felt that overall the picture could have been more lively ; the dialogue was way too slow in parts . Worth seeing though .

One word is about all this deserves
A decent enough shoot-em-up but it has been done already . The acting was fine , the dialogue was okay , I even enjoyed the movie ; obviously it was not a low budget throwaway . However , I knew from the opening sequence pretty much what was going to happen and how it would turn out . Rainy day fare only .

Tramp teases Texan ; manipulates mutt for money ; learns lasting lessons on love
Passable film concerning a cynical woman who dreams of true love while fleecing hand picked lovers . Mistaken identity leads her on a path of discovery , learning there's more to life than money and things . Real fiction , not real life .
