While there Andy saves beautiful Serafine Pigot ( Julie Delpy ) from killing herself . . . and immediately falls in love . Turns out she's a werewolf , he gets bitten and starts changing while his friends tr... |
478,453 | 463,200 | 118,589 | 6 | Not THAT bad | All the critics in the country have torn this film ( Mariah Carey's " acting " debut ) to shreds . I saw it expecting a camp classic . You know what ? It's not that bad . Now , it's not a GOOD movie - - just an ordinary , totally predictable , but mildly watchable rags-to-riches story . Carey can sing - - too bad her s... |
478,820 | 463,200 | 65,112 | 6 | One of Hitchcock's worst | This takes place in 1962 right before the Cuban Missle Crisis . French intelligence agent Andre Devereaux ( Frederick Stafford ) , who's working for the US , gets involved with finding out what the Russians are doing in Cuba . There's more to it but you'll be so bored you won't care . Hard to believe Hitchcock did this... |
479,001 | 463,200 | 244,970 | 6 | Predictable but fun | A woman , Jane ( Ashley Judd ) falls in love with an executive ( Greg Kinnear ) at work . She plans to move in with him , gives up her apartment . . . and he dumps her . She reluctantly moves in with hunky , womanizing co-worker Eddie ( Hugh Jackman ) who she hates .

478,800 | 463,200 | 78,111 | 6 | Too low key to have much of an impact | Set in 1917 New Orleans . This is the story of a brothel and the women working there . One of them , Hattie ( Susan Sarandon ) , has a 12 year old girl named Violet ( Brooke Shields ) . Bellocq ( Keith Carradine ) pays to photograph the women but doesn't have sex with any of them . However he seems strongly attracted t... |
477,207 | 463,200 | 91,167 | 6 | Good Woody Allen but awfully familar | Well-done comedy-drama following a neurotic family over the course of three years . Well-acted , well-written , but Allen covers no new ground here ( except him trying on other religions ) . He's examined these characters and situations before . What makes the movie watchable is excellent acting , Farrow excepted ( she... |
477,901 | 463,200 | 175,880 | 6 | Way overpraised | The movie is good , all the acting is superb ( with the exception of Jason Robards ) and the direction is excellent . But the movie is needlessly long ( there are a lot of scenes that could have been shortened or cut completely ) , has HUGE leaps of logic ( an especially idiotic event at the end almost destroys the mov... |
479,430 | 463,200 | 13,257 | 6 | More silly than anything else | This is a review of the silent version without the narration . Silent documentary about witchcraft throughout the ages . It uses drawings , diagrams and recreations about witches , the Devil and Hell ( all connected together according to this ) . I saw it because I heard it was a masterpiece of horror and I love horror... |
479,338 | 463,200 | 462,359 | 6 | The title is wrong but this is OK | A bunch of 20 somethings are going camping in the Bitteroot Mountains , Montana .

477,458 | 463,200 | 65,206 | 6 | Scariest thing about this is the poster ! | Calire Marrable ( Geraldine Page ) is left with nothing after her husband dies . She then proceeds to take in women as housekeepers , has them invest their savings in the stock market , kills them , plants them in her garden and lives off their winnings ( or something like that ) .

" Sleepless in Seattle " is one of ... |
478,361 | 463,200 | 21,814 | 6 | Dull and stagy , but essential viewing | The film starts off extremely well with a visit to Dracula's castle in Transylvania . Then the movie moves to London and falls apart . For one thing , they changed the characters from the novel - - Jonathan Harker went to Castle Dracula not Reinfield and everybody stands around talking about things . EVERYTHING is talk... |
478,497 | 463,200 | 70,622 | 6 | Don't say it - - hiss it ! | Pretty silly horror movie about Dr . Carl Stoner ( Strother Martin ) who has perfected a drug that turns men into King Cobra snakes . ( Yeah - - I know it's ridiculous ) . WHY he wants to do this is never fully explained . He wants to use it on young David Blaine ( Dirk Benedict ) . . . but his daughter ( Heather Menzi... |
478,835 | 463,200 | 118,694 | 6 | Beautiful . . . but that's about it | Two married people in 1962 Hong Kong , realize their siblings are having an affair with each other . They comfort each other and think about doing the same thing . Beautiful cinematography ( by Christopher Doyle ) , but that's all the movie has going for it . The story moves at a snail's pace , the male lead ( Tony Leu... |
478,354 | 463,200 | 52,655 | 6 | Classic black comedy doesn't hold up | Meek and mild Walter Paisley ( Dick Miller ) is a busboy at a beatniks club .

479,445 | 463,200 | 52,225 | 6 | Sad | This could have been great . The music and lyrics are wonderful ( of course ) , the acting ( with one exception ) was good and they had beautiful on location shooting in Hawaii . . . and they STILL managed to screw it up ! First off , most of the singing was dubbed and it's VERY obvious . . . especially with Brazzi . .... |
478,655 | 463,200 | 240,890 | 6 | Light . . . VERY light | Fluffy tale of Jonathan ( John Cusack ) and Sara ( Kate Beckinsale ) who meet cute in a department store , spend the day together and then part without revealing names . She puts her name and number in a book and he puts his on the back of a 5 dollar bill . Sara says if fate wants us to meet , we'll find those . As you... |

478,307 | 463,200 | 39,377 | 6 | Silly but OK | Movie designed to introduce Ricardo Montalban to American audiences . It's a drama - - NOT a musical . There are a few musical numbers but that's it . This takes place in Mexico and has Montalban and Esther Williams playing twins . No - - I'm not kidding ! If you can swallow that you might like this . Their father is a... |
478,689 | 463,200 | 52,427 | 6 | Kids might like it | Story about Tom Thumb ( Russ Tamblyn ) who is no bigger than someone's thumb . He gets involved with two bumbling crooks ( Terry-Thomas and Peter Sellers ) and such . Kids might like it but this is pretty hard going . Basically this is more of a musical than anything else . The songs are ( to be nice ) unmemorable and ... |
479,326 | 463,200 | 95,270 | 6 | Doesn't age well | I loved this film back in 1988 . . . 13 years later I don't . John Waters first PG rated film was considered fresh , innovative and funny back then . It was . . . back then . It just doesn't hold up well . The plot is ( to put it mildly ) thin , all the characters are skin-deep and the jokes are either forced and / or ... |
477,661 | 463,200 | 95,271 | 6 | For a sequel it was pretty good | This picks up 10 years after " Halloween " ( which is correct - - this WAS released 10 years after the original ) . Michael Myers is being transported to a hospital and he hears he has a 9 year old niece ( Danielle Harris ) still alive . He quickly escapes from the ambulance ( after killing everybody ) and heads back t... |
478,371 | 463,200 | 74,226 | 6 | Pretty interesting | Thriller about a drug called " Blue Sunshine " . It seems a bunch of kids took it in college in 1966 . Ten years later it starts to affect them . They have horrible headaches . . . then all their hair falls out . . . THEN they become homicidal maniacs ! Jerry Zipkin ( Zalman King ) is unjustly accused of the murders . ... |
477,434 | 463,200 | 70,355 | 6 | So-so sequel to " Dirty Harry " | Interesting plot - - a bunch of cops take the law into their own hands and execute those they think deserve it . Good thing Harry Callahn ( Clint Eastwood ) is on hand to stop them . The original " Dirty Harry " had its problems - - it was stupid , sadistic and sexist . But it moved quickly and was never dull . This on... |
479,507 | 463,200 | 66,559 | 6 | Has its moments but gets repetitious | Originally X rated version of Allen Funt's Candid Camera TV show . This involves people running into naked women ( and men ) in the most ordinary situations . One involves a totally nude woman trying to get help with her car that broke down . Another has a nude woman in an office building casually waiting for the eleva... |
477,554 | 463,200 | 83,767 | 6 | So-so | George Romero directed and Stephen King scripted this five part horror film . Romero directed this as a homage to EC horror comics of the 1950s and does a very nice job . Unfortunately King's stories and overlong , dull and pretty obvious . " Father's Day " , about a murdered man getting his revenge , is enjoyable and ... |
478,192 | 463,200 | 245,115 | 6 | Not as bad as I heard | A bisexual young man ( Michael Cunio ) gets a job at a porno company to get close to a porn star ( Scott Gurney ) that he's in love with . Unfortunately , the star is straight and living with his girlfriend . This film got some savage reviews in the gay press so I expected the worst . But it was pretty good . It starts... |
479,443 | 463,200 | 213,149 | 6 | Too long , too depressing | A movie about the events leading to Pearl Harbor and the aftermath up to when America bombed Tokyo . The movie looks beautiful - - some of the shots literally took my breath away . The special effects are very realistic . The film is historically accurate ( but the three main characters are fictional ) and the action s... |
478,743 | 463,200 | 56,868 | 6 | This is supposed to be funny ? | I didn't laugh much . It's a pretty sad tale about a young man ( Tom Courtenay ) in a dead end job with an unhappy home life who lies and constantly escapes into a fantasy world . I got most of the jokes ( sometimes the English accents are hard to understand ) , but they just weren't very funny . Also the satire of the... |
478,038 | 463,200 | 74,475 | 6 | Not uninteresting but slow and kind of silly | Dr . Paul Holliston ( Rock Hudson ) is experimenting with fetuses .

He removes her fetus and also keeps it alive and , within a few weeks , has a full gr... |
478,845 | 463,200 | 47,209 | 6 | OK but nothing exceptional | Fictional tale of Jack the Ripper ( here played by Jack Palance ) and his trying to keep his identity secret and falling for a beautiful actress . This is well-made - - it seems a lot of money went into the sets , costumes and furnishings . Also it's atmospheric with fog-bound streets and shot in moody black and white ... |
479,514 | 463,200 | 60,818 | 6 | Silly | Pretty dumb comedy about neglected wife Natalie Wood becoming a kleptomaniac to get her husband's ( Ian Bannen's ) attention . She even sees a psychiatrist ( a very annoying Dick Shawn ) to try to be cured . Then she robs her husband's bank and things just get sillier . . . This isn't a total bomb . It's beautifully ph... |
478,281 | 463,200 | 416,706 | 6 | Pretty good but lacking | This was being pushed as a sexy camp TV movie . It's not . It's a ( purportedly ) factual account of how the TV show Dynasty was developed and what eventually killed it . It follows the married producer and writer team of the show - - it shows how their lives were affected and why they came up with the more outrageous ... |
478,302 | 463,200 | 74,455 | 6 | Interesting but not successful | Story about Judd ( Neville Brand ) who runs the decrepit Starlight Hotel .

Things get out of control when a family consisting of a mother ( Marilyn Burns ) , a very weird father ( Frank Finley ) and a little girl ( Kyle Richards ) drop by t... |

477,339 | 463,200 | 338,459 | 6 | Not as good as the first . . . | . . . I never saw the second , but this was OK . The story is kind of confusing . Juni Cortez ( Daryl Sabara ) has to enter a video games designed by the Toymaker ( Sylvester Stallone ! ! ! ) to save his sister Carmen ( Alexa Vega ) and aided by his grandfather ( Ricardo Montalban ) . And the game , if activated , will... |
479,356 | 463,200 | 373,469 | 6 | Sick , violent , pitch black comedy / detective movie | Harry Lockhart ( Robert Downey Jr . ) through a bunch of experiences too convoluted ( and unbelievable ) to explain ends up solving multiple murders with gay Gay Perry ( Val Kilmer ) . Involved is beautiful Harmony Faith Lane ( Michelle Monaghan ) . This film definitely has its audience . The reviews here are positive ... |

This quickly leads to killings , dead bodies , double crosses and some very dangerous women . This picture has a potentially interesting gimmi... |
479,455 | 463,200 | 338,526 | 6 | Not the disaster I heard it was - - but not good at all | In the 18th century , Gabriel Van Helsing ( Hugh Jackman ) who is working for the church ( ? ? ? ) travels to Romania with a monk Carl ( David Wenham ) to battle Dracula ( Richard Roxburgh ) , his three brides , the Wolf Man ( Will Kemp ) and the Frankenstein Monster ( Shuler Hensley ) . He's helped by feisty Anna Vale... |
479,116 | 463,200 | 74,593 | 6 | Paws in the woods | Rip-off of " Jaws " . A giant grizzly bear is ( inexplicably ) attacking humans in a forest . It's up to Christopher George and friends to track him down . I saw this in a theatre when I was 14 and never forgot it . At the time it ( sort of ) scared me . The bear itself I thought looked kind of cuddly - - even when it ... |
479,658 | 463,200 | 52,820 | 6 | Scared me silly as a kid | Hilarious little horror film involving a curse on the Drake family - - each male member of the family is killed at age 60 and decapitated ! There's more but it's really too complicated ( and unbelievable ) to go into . I originally saw this on a local TV station on a Saturday afternoon in the 1970s . I was in the fourt... |
478,266 | 463,200 | 57,197 | 6 | Great special effects | Ray Harryhausen's special effects are the only reason to see the movie . The script is somewhat literate but boring , the acting is pretty bad ( although some people were dubbed over ) and it doesn't really end . But when Harryhausen's creations are on-screen , the movie is fantastic . There are some quibbles - - some ... |
477,728 | 463,200 | 416,315 | 6 | It's OK - - that's about it | Purportedly based on fact story set in Australia in 1999 . Three likable 20 somethings - - Ben ( Nathan Phillips ) , Liz ( Cassandra Magarth ) and Kristy ( Kertie Morassi ) - - go to Wolf Creek . It's a remote part of Australia where a meteor had landed . The car breaks down and they're stuck in the middle of nowhere .... |
479,667 | 463,200 | 39,892 | 6 | Not as bad as I heard it was | This unremarkable film got a lot of notoriety in the 1970s when it was included in the book " The Fifty Worst Films of All Time " . The film isn't good but it's nowhere near one of the worst films ever made ! Mary Hagen ( Shirley Temple ) is believed to be the illegitimate child of Tom Bates ( Ronald Reagan ! ) . He le... |
477,864 | 463,200 | 60,491 | 6 | It's OK | Movie based on part of James Michener's massive novel . In the 1860s Father Hale ( Max von Sydow ) and his wife Jerusha ( Julie Andrews ) go to Hawaii to bring religion to the Hawaiian people .

478,443 | 463,200 | 57,242 | 6 | Well-done , but I was bored | Good acting and direction in scary tale about a false nuclear alarm warning . The children and adults are believable and the story has a very downbeat conclusion ( that's probably the reason it's unknown nowadays ) . Still , I was bored . This is a really great idea for a 45 minute short stretched out to 90 minutes . T... |
479,577 | 463,200 | 232,500 | 6 | First drive-in movie of the millenium | Brian O'Conner ( Paul Walker ) wants to join the family of the head of California street racing ( Vin Diesel ) . . . but why ? The plot is comic book level ; the dialogue is very VERY bad . . . but who really cares ? This is a throwback of those dumb 1970s drive-in movies . . . it's for people who like loud , fast film... |
478,147 | 463,200 | 66,011 | 6 | Could have been great | Few people seem to remember how big this movie was when it came out 1970 . It was HUGa true blockbuster . Lines formed around the block and people kept seeing it again and again and again . Yet today it's virtually forgotten . Seeing it now over 30 years later , it's easy to see why . The story is simple : Boy ( Ryan O... |
479,647 | 463,200 | 87,075 | 6 | Not a horror movie and not a good movie either | Most of the film is a dream of almost 13 year old Rosleen ( Sarah Patterson ) . She dreams of living in some remote village in ( I'm guessing ) the 1800s . There her sister is killed by a wolf and she's watched carefully by her mother and father . She also is warned by her lively old grandmother ( Angela Landsbury chew... |
479,347 | 463,200 | 35,423 | 6 | Cute but dumb | Liev Schreiber ( badly used and miscast ) travels from NYC 2002 to NYC 1862 ( the how and why are never really explained ) .

The movie look... |
479,061 | 463,200 | 240,122 | 6 | Sometimes it works | An interesting idea - - the director shot Puccini's opera in three different ways - - in gorgeous color and in full dress on a soundstage ; in black and white of the singers recording the soundtrack in street clothes and some VERY grainy color video of the actual locales in Italy where the opera takes place . It doesn'... |
478,989 | 463,200 | 20,888 | 6 | Mostly of historic interest . . . but not bad | Short in which Bert ( Lynne Overman ) brings his boss ( Berton Churchill ) home to dinner . It seems there's a big promotion that's going to happen in the company and Bert hopes he gets it . His wife ( Sylvia Sidney ) wants it too . Interesting short showing how bad it really was during the Depression . It's made quite... |

478,961 | 463,200 | 67,093 | 6 | Loud , lively but too long | Musical about the life of Jews in pre-Revolutionary Russia . Well-done with good acting ( especially Topol ) and some good songs and incredible dances . . . but at 3 hours it's way too long . Some of the songs are real duds and should have been cut and some of the dances go on forever . From what I've heard , this was ... |
