Moribund
There may be some major spoilers in this review . I wish to give a frank , honest and revealing review of this film . So I'll begin with ? ? What were they thinking ? This has got to be one of the most preposterously and poorly conceived films ever . And I mean EVER ! Listen to this . The script was taken from the nove...

Not up to much .
I used to have this on DVD and I only watched it once . Perhaps this is because the film is quite boring and even the presence of the beautiful Famke Janssen cannot balance the crapiness out . Every set looks the same as the last and it's just so dull . It should have been gorier and milked it's hardly original concept...

Worse than terrible
This is not a typical Dolph movie nor is it a typical obscure film . I mean it's obscure , but not in a cool new find way . Perhaps it's due to bad writing and directing but it just seems so different in terms of dialogue and plot development . For most of the movie Dolph sits around and drinks but after about an hour ...

Racism in disguise
The very first words uttered in this TV movie are ' Almost every bad thing that has ever happened to me has been because of a black person . ' A rather alarming opening line and it doesn't let up . Joseph is a teacher at school in London in which 70 % of the kids are black . He knows it's tough for black kids to get a ...

Eesh ! A horrible , horrible game .
Man alive , is this game bad or what ? The graphics are way below par , even if it were on a playstation 1 , never mind a Gamecube . The gameplay is pathetic and the camera movements disorientating . What a worthless game ! I totally love Warner's Batman animation and it's cool that they do all the games in this way . ...

Men in cheap suits
For such a belated ( and now unwanted ) sequel to feel so much like a quick-rehash to cash in on the original's success is weird . This movie had 5 years ( and some false-starts ) to refine and for the filmmakers to really make it something special for the fans and to pay tribute to the brilliant Men in Black . It neve...

How gloriously camp this drivel is . Remember Riverdance and Lord Of The Dance and how everyone thot it was so cool at the time ? The same applies to this movie .

I thought the spate of teen-based horror flicks was over . I thought that by the time we got to I Still Know What You've Forgotten Some Summers Ago ( or whatever ) that it was all finally milked for every penny it was worth ( ! ) . I was wrong . I can't think of a plot more grotesquely stupid that of Final Destination ...

I've seen thousands of movies but WLB is seriously very , very bad . I am shocked that Ford / Pfeiffer / Zemeckis actually churned out a film so awful .

I really don't like this game
Not only do I hate the animation style and the fact that it's nothing but a bunch of mini-games put together but when you fail at whatever task and have to start again it takes too long . Yes , the animation looks good from a technical point of view but all people appear in silhouette . I don't feel any connection to t...

Judging by Anna Paquin's performance in this so not scary ' horror ' movie you'd never believe she was an Oscar-winning actress .

What a bogus title . Slight Promotion of the Yob might have been a more fitting moniker , methinks . But seriously , what is it with the fascination for making these movies ? I don't get it myself .

Very poor indeed .
The only thing good about this film is that it has a cool score by David Michael Frank . And that's it . The production design is terrible and some places ( like the Buena Venture Hotel ) seem thrown in for no reason other than to give the characters some place to be . Steven Seagal is not a good actor and in this film...

Back in 2003 , 25-year-old director James Wan debuted his 10-minute short film Saw , winning enough acclaim and attention to produce and direct a feature film based on the concept of self mutilation for survival .

Boring .
Though miles better than the ( awful ) first game this still suffers from major bore . The free-roaming game play would be great if there were a bit more variety and things to do . The main problem is that the gaming area is absolutely immense . While this may be a good thing ( a whole state is your gaming area in the ...

Dud
Talk about being boring ! I got this expecting a fascinating insight into the life of the man who wrote the mythical Night on the Galactic Railroad . I expected to see crazy stories and hijinks of an eccentric man and to discover his inspirations for such bizarre material . Boy , was I wrong . Spring and Chaos is mostl...

Who's your buddy ?
I'll admit it ; I have never seen any other Kevin Smith movie aside from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back . And even in that movie his lack of class and tendency for cheap vulgarity kind of turns me off him . Despite some moments of ( often childish ) humor ( any bit with Jay and Silent Bob and the cool ' new ' Jesus ima...

A clunker that is alternately good and terrible
This is definitely better than HOHH but it was panned severely by critics because of the extreme overdose of CGI and the camp-Gothic sets . Like HOHH , it is a remake of the original of the same name . The original Haunting was quite good for it's day . But let's be honest ? it's not it's day anymore . But what annoyed...

No excitement
Probably the least exciting Bond movie ever made and that's including the Lazenby one . Nothing happens that is worth mentioning . There's a scene with a pipe or something that is good for about 2 seconds . The rest is an unbroken succession of bore after bore after bore . How on earth the filmmakers thought that audie...

In Elmer Fudd's first ever appearance we do not get the Elmer we know and love but fatter guy with a huge head and an ugly bulbous nose . He puts together a ' camera ' ( snigger ) and heads to the woods to take pictures of wildlife . Once there he settle for a picture of Bugs Bunny . Or at least something very remotely...

Lighthearted , soulless sequel
A lot of the original magic is absent in this belated sequel . The storyline isn't up to much and is never taken full advantage of . One thing that is sorely missed is the wide , power score from the first film . Elmer Bernstein was ditched and the music was done by long-time hack Randy Edelman used none of the themes ...

Great opening
But it's all downhill from there on . For about 20 minutes this movie promises to be cool and funny thru-out but quickly becomes boring and stupid . The characters just do not use simple logic and it is way hard to side with them . I really did want the trucks to run them over . Beware , there may be some spoilers here...

Generic first person shooter
I'm really rather sick of first person shooter games . They are a dime a dozen and with all the Medal of Honor and Call of Duty games out there do we really need another ? The previous game in the Bond universe was Everything or Nothing , which wasn't a first person shooter , something new . But this one goes back to s...

If a game doesn't hook me within the first half-hour then I'm just not going to see it through to the end .

If the Sun ' newspaper ' made a documentary it would be this .
Right , let me begin by saying that the tagline of this film is wrong . ' The true story that inspired Scarface ' . Um . . . isn't Scarface a remake of a film from the 30s ? And wasn't the bulk of Scarface's writing and production already complete by the time this documentary really gets to any story in it's chronologi...

Using lots of recycled animation ( most obviously from The Band Concert ) this Disney wartime cartoon , made for screening in Canadian cinemas , is very unsubtle and is more of a frank advertisement than anything else . It's yet another one of those shorts that does nothing but promote war bonds 4 for 5 . I still have ...

Ghost Ship it ain't
In fact it's more like Event Horizon underwater . The first half was pretty cool and built up a good deal of suspense . But as it nears the end the story falls into incoherence and suffers from obviously deleted scenes . If the script were tighter then this film could have been great as David Twohy's direction is not r...

Thank heavens I bought this in a clearance sale . It did not keep my attention for long and for 2 reasons .

The graphics were atmospheric and did create a cool mood similar to that of the movie but the sound was ba...

His character of Tugg Speedman is yet another one of his many un-self-aware stereotypes like Derek Zoolander or White Goodman . Besides th...

Ghostbusters II was a pretty average movie and not a good video game . I got this for my Commodore 64 way back in 1989 . And I paid full price for it too ( a whopping £9 . 99 ) and it came in one of those over-sized cardboard boxes . It looked like it should have been great . It wasn't . Basically , there were 4 levels...

I am very disappointed with this game . It may have very nice and cartoony graphics but the gameplay is terrible . You play Eduardo and Kylie from the TV series and must defeat an evil Count called Mercharior who has kidnapped other members of the Ghostbusters . There are only four levels : the old building , the grave...

Somewhere inside the overlong , 114-minute Bullitt there is a brisk 90-minute long film desperate to get out . But as it is , it's seriously overlong with nothing to sustain it . Many pointless scenes come and go with loads of long , indulgent tracking shots goose-up the running time . I almost nodded-off a few times ,...
