563,886 | 102,816 | 481,236 | 4 | Hadn't a clue | The best thing about the classic Trap Door TV show were those rare moments when you actually got to see what was down there and in all those tunnels and catacombs . This video has loads of exactly that . It began with Boni getting kidnapped by a monster and , as Berk , you had to go down the trap door to get him back .... |
564,280 | 102,816 | 313,737 | 4 | Bland | Out of all the movies Grant and Bullock have ever done which is the most re-occurring genre ? Rom-com . How many rom-coms are out there ( especially at present ) ? Too many . What new material / angle does Two Weeks Notice offer ? None . There really is no point in this movie . It was only made because the public still... |
564,872 | 102,816 | 40,361 | 4 | Not a Foghorn Leghorn fan | I'll admit I love the look of Foghorn Leghorn but I hate his cartoons . Come on , they are ALL the same . It'll start out a normal day on the farm then that annoying bird will come along and say ' I'm a chicken hawk ' a hundred times . Foghorn will pretend to not be a chicken but get clobbered anyway . The impartial ba... |
564,425 | 102,816 | 119,807 | 4 | Winging it simply doesn't make a good movie . | Steve Oedekirk's tepid Nothing to Lose is a lame comedy with Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence as an odd-couple buddy pairing who team up to steal $600 , 000 . Robbin's comes home early to find his wife in bed with his boss and runs away to the desert , taking car-jacker Lawrence with him , to think things over . The dia... |
564,592 | 102,816 | 300,471 | 4 | Poor | Substituting the wide open spaces of the old west for the dingy , dirty streets of London is not fun . Roy O'Bannon and Chon Wang do not look like they belong there ( and that's not meant to be part of the fun ) . The plot is the weakest , most uninspired and half-baked codswallop you can imagine , probably churned out... |
564,177 | 102,816 | 371,816 | 4 | I don't like racing games . | So maybe I'm the wrong person to be doing a review . But they are all basically the same and while Double Dash looks pretty it does little to further the genre . The graphics are , quite simply , gorgeous . Mario Kart Double Dash shows what the Gamecube is capable of with brilliant colors , wonderful landscapes and viv... |
564,010 | 102,816 | 369,903 | 4 | Very , very weak | Back again in the brand new slicker animation form , the Mystery Inc gang head down to Mexico to visit Fred's e-mail pal but get caught up in the Chupacapra mystery as said beast begins terrorising the locals . It's not very good as the plot is practically discarded in favor of endless running around scenes and over-in... |
564,686 | 102,816 | 29,237 | 4 | Boring and predictable | Mickey cartoons all follow the same formula . Whatever he's doing will soon fall into chaos as soon as Donald shows up or whatever he's in charge of inexplicable rebels . In this cartoon , nothing is different . He's hosting an amateur music show on the radio and Donald forgets the lyrics to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star... |
563,893 | 102,816 | 33,974 | 4 | And on that farm he had a . . . | Man , I hate that song . And this cartoon fares little better . Honestly , of all the Donald Duck shorts that I've seen and reviewed , this is the worst . Nothing really happens in it . Donald is a farmer who strolls through his yard one morning , greeting all his animals . His cow Clementine is sitting in a tree eatin... |
564,028 | 102,816 | 469,641 | 4 | Horrible , inappropriate soap opera on par with Pearl Harbor | I'm not going to go off in a rant about how it is insensitive to make a World Trade Center movie a mere 5 years after the atrocity but I will say that it's largely pointless . The images and stories have been covered on TV so many times from so many angles and people that there's really nothing left to learn . When Oli... |
563,758 | 102,816 | 31,086 | 4 | Not funny | In this cartoon Donald goes to the beach for some fun in the sun . He takes a giant inflatable horse ( called Seabiscuit ) with him to play with in the water . Everything seems fine until Donald decides to torment Pluto for some reason by blowing water and air into his face , or something . The cartoon lingers on this ... |
563,799 | 102,816 | 335,345 | 4 | What's the point ? | I came out of this film completely unaffected . Am I really supposed to care about what allegedly happened 2000 years ago ? There is NOTHING to TPOTC . A mere 2 hour exhibition of sadomasochism / sexual perversion . It just goes on and on and on . Mel Gibson creates a few tangents with flashbacks and a pointless Judas ... |
564,375 | 102,816 | 90,728 | 4 | Not very good at all | I somehow remember this film being way better than it is . It certainly does take a special sense of humor to watch but nothing interesting happens for so long and Carpenter's direction is strangely unspectacular . The story concerns big-headed trucker Jack Burton and an adventure he has in the underworld of San Franci... |
564,807 | 102,816 | 103,644 | 4 | Theatrical cut is miserable as hell , see the extended version . | In regards to the version that was released in cinemas . . . miss it . That's for damn sure . This was the first film that David Fincher directed and it has that dark , smelly and grimy look that he is only capable of . After the highly exciting Aliens there is ZERO entertainment here and only one Alien . Very fake loo... |
564,069 | 102,816 | 36,680 | 4 | A distinct lack of laughs . | In this cartoon the Three Bears sit at the dinner table in their ramshackle hut and think of a way to temp some unwitting fool into the cauldron . That unwitting fool ends up being Bugs Bunny . But , as usual , he's to clever to fall for any tricks . Too bad the outsmarting isn't really so funny or clever . It definite... |
564,341 | 102,816 | 377,109 | 4 | A lion's fist in an iron glove | Confused ? Not as much as you will be while watching this movie . And it's not even confusing in a good way like Lost Highway or Mulholland Drive ( also starring the lurvly Naomi Watts ) . The Ring was a passable thriller that had about as much logic as my review title . None ! Still , Gore Verbinski took as much advan... |
564,320 | 102,816 | 133,751 | 4 | Rather bland and mediocre | It was hardly revolutionary , I mean its only saving grace was its ensemble cast . I think Famke Jansen is totally hot and Clea Duvall especially , she's just totally gorgeous . Not enough gore either . In , fact there's not much else to The Faculty . The cheap CGI effects were pretty crap and the post-Scream script by... |
564,282 | 102,816 | 289,043 | 4 | Failed Potential | With the exception of the opening 10 minutes , 28 Days Later fails completely . The scenes of the Jim ( Cillian Murphy ) walking around an abandoned , completely deserted London are creepy and un-nerving . The scenes that hint at mystery and unknown danger are far more intriguing than the rest of the movie . As soon as... |
564,019 | 102,816 | 421,239 | 4 | Simple-minded , female chauvinist , pot-boiling crap . | What the hell has happened to Wes Craven ? The man who went straight for the raw nerve with Last House on the Left and The Hills have Eyes has seriously gone downhill in the rotten , PC-driven , PG-13 driven Hollywood of today . Studios are afraid to make R-rated movies these days . Not that Red Eye really needs it . B... |
563,896 | 102,816 | 49,793 | 4 | Tacky , uneventful western | For a Western movie this was very boring and had very little going on . There is no real plot and only a couple of muddled and drama-free sub-plots . The movie is about some hit-man in a cell who is awaiting hanging for the killing of some cattleboys . The sheriff wants a peaceful hanging ( ! ) without having to prove ... |
564,540 | 102,816 | 242,527 | 4 | Overwrought teen soap | I did not enjoy this movie very much . The only good part about it is that the director did not portray Britain as a miserable dump and shot the film in rather attractive widescreen . But the story is a mess . Very little of this film makes sense and it is very badly written . And boring . The direction is borderline l... |
563,897 | 102,816 | 112,442 | 4 | The worst of 80's cop movie clichés , but it's still better than Bad Boys II | The plot in this movie is absolutely nothing spectacular and is VERY basic . There are also plot holes all over the place . The constant arguing between Smith and Laurence also gets on the nerves and spoils the slight chemistry that they have . But Michael Bay's direction puts a glossy shine on an otherwise cruddy movi... |
564,798 | 102,816 | 323,983 | 4 | Short lifespan | The novelty of this game wears off very quickly . At first it was fun to play as several of the Simpsons characters but when they started repeating their dialogue for the 50th time it became mighty tedious and tiresome . The gameplay is very simple . If GTA : Vice City is the Lego Technic of road rage games then Simpso... |
564,862 | 102,816 | 830,515 | 4 | I guess I'll die another day | What a big step-down QoS is . If you are expecting the Godfather Part II or a film equal to The Dark Knight you are in for a huge disappointment . Despite being the highest budgeted Bond film ever ( just where all the money went is beyond me ) , QoS is half-hearted and extremely simple . Of all the Bond films in histor... |
564,131 | 102,816 | 319,728 | 4 | Why are you still watching ? | The Last Horror Movie thinks that it's more clever than it actually is . It begins by telling us that we've never quite seen horror as intense as this and that we're truly in for the ride of our lives . While some of the following murders are interesting , it completely fails at living up to such high self-regard . It'... |
563,855 | 102,816 | 102,943 | 5 | Nothing special | A day in the life of nobodies . Sound like a good movie ? It probably sounded like a good experiment to Richard Linklater who made this for about $20 , 000 . It's a nice film to start out with but it's really of no use or interest outside of college film students . There's not much to Slacker other than a bunch of mean... |
564,590 | 102,816 | 275,230 | 5 | It's 46 minutes long ! | Manga craftily fail to mention this on the cover and I was very let down when the movie faded out to the end titles merely 40 minutes into the film . I liked where it was going and it could have gone further but it just ended ! What's the point in a 46 minute long movie ? What I don't understand is if Saya in the movie... |
564,178 | 102,816 | 388,419 | 5 | Rather flat and uneventful | Christmas with the Kranks did not fill me with holiday spirit . This movie rudely tries to shove yuletide cheer down our throats and the end result is a mild comedy with only a few laughs ( most attempts at jokes just die ) . Luther Krank ( Tim Allen in yet another Xmas movie ) decides he and his wife ( a rapidly aging... |
564,249 | 102,816 | 338,095 | 5 | Recycled clichés in a somewhat entertaining order | High Tension offers nothing new to the slasher movie genre . It's nothing more than a succession of set-pieces manipulated to provoke maximum dread from the audience . Everything you've seen before , but the relentless gore , superb photography and eerie , minimalist atmosphere make it a decent time-waster and probably... |
564,666 | 102,816 | 455,384 | 5 | A rather bland platformer | I first got Chakan when I was 13 and for some reason I liked it . It's not really that good and is nowhere near as cool as the underground comic-book it's based on . As Chakan you fight through many different planes ( levels ) and baddies such as Dragonfly Kings and evil slugs while using magic potions you come across ... |
564,104 | 102,816 | 297,407 | 5 | Too short | And not much in the way of playability . I liked the feature of taking pictures and selling them the Daily Bugle but there's not much else going on . There are only 6 levels and some of them , like the power station , are REALLY short . I liked this game when I was younger but I was used to more simpler games then . Bu... |
563,783 | 102,816 | 116,629 | 5 | Mediocre | I really don't know what to make of ID4 . If you take away the SFX and the patriotic , flag-waving in this film you are left with a very cheap pile of melodramatic sludge . For a first viewing you cannot see this but the 2nd and 3rd time you begin to notice the seriously bad dialogue . It won an Academy Award for Best ... |
564,612 | 102,816 | 246,544 | 5 | Too hurried | I've never seen any Musketeer movies , not even the Kiefer Sutherland one , but I can tell this one ain't the best . It's very rushed and the script is as flat as a blown-out tire . I mean it's written by the guy who created the Police Academy franchise . Surely he should be blacklisted in Hollywood by now . Peter Hyam... |
564,423 | 102,816 | 120,338 | 5 | Don't be fooled | This film has action for the guys , romance for the ladies and a lavish ( ? ) period setting for the older generation . This is the only reason many people went to see it . Cameron knew he could lure everyone into the cinema if he gave them all a little bit of what they wanted . This caused more people to review it and... |
564,641 | 102,816 | 93,393 | 5 | Very Weird and strange | This film seems to be a bizarre hybrid of David Lynch at his most weirdest and Jim Jarmush on an acid trip . There is no linear progression or any character development . Or any real characters when I think about it . Or story . Just a very strange mixture of disgusting visuals and gay imagery . For the first half of t... |
564,268 | 102,816 | 388,482 | 5 | Disappointing sequel | The Transporter franchise suffers from some serious engine failure in this slickly produced sequel and only just makes it over the finishing line . The original had a thin premise and an anorexic plot but delivered brilliantly choreographed fight scenes and down-played gun violence . For number 2 the action is relocate... |
564,185 | 102,816 | 52,651 | 5 | Nothing special | Here's my problem . . . I like Foghorn Leghorn but I hate the characters he is constantly lumbered to work with . They are all crap . Give us a Foghorn Leghorn and Bugs / Daffy team-up . All these chicken hawk stories down on Old MacDonald's farm are boring . In this one old Miss Prissy is a hen who never lays an egg u... |
564,538 | 102,816 | 212,346 | 5 | Unessential potboiler | And not too demanding but not exactly a no-brainer . It's the perfect movie to relax to . Sandra Bullock is charming enough as a tough , tom-boy FBI agent and the resulting hijinks as she tries to track down a Miss America killer is amusing fare indeed . The direction , although pedestrian , has enough flare and the sc... |
564,125 | 102,816 | 200,659 | 5 | Do YOU believe in ghosts ? | Having seen two different ghosts on separate occasions in my life , then my answer is , most definitely , yes . And no , I wasn't dreaming . I wasn't allowed to see this show back when it originally aired back in 1992 , my mother and aunt were busy keeping the living room for their own drunken yacking . But I did sneak... |
564,611 | 102,816 | 409,320 | 5 | Has dated quite badly | Originally a hit when released in the arcades in the 80's Spy vs Spy also enjoyed success on just about every home console . I myself had it on the Commodore 64 along with the sequel ' Island Adventure ' and the third one called ' Arctic Antics ' , which were better . The trouble with the original Spy vs Spy is that th... |
564,245 | 102,816 | 30,447 | 5 | Polly wanna cracker | Can someone explain to my why Polly is a common name for a parrot ? And why do they have a fascination for crackers ? I've never seen a real life parrot each a cracker . In this cartoon a moving van goes over a nasty bump and a birdcage falls out . The newly freed parrot inside immediately flies into Mickey's house whe... |
564,335 | 102,816 | 493,247 | 5 | Where have I seen this before ? | If Origin : Spirits of the past seems familiar to you then you are not alone . Even the most indiscriminate anime fan can tell that this is basically a watered-down copy of Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind . There are so many similarities that I'm surprised no lawsuits were involved . Set in a future where plant life has... |
564,748 | 102,816 | 462,642 | 5 | Too hard for me | Back in the day of the Commodore 64 , if you were one of the coolest people who had one , you'd remember that there were thousands and thousands of games out there . I had zillions of them . But the queerest of them was a side-scrolling space-shooter called Zybex . It kinda played like Space Harrier , only from a diffe... |
564,790 | 102,816 | 120,685 | 5 | Hit and miss . | After scoring a huge hit with ID4 everyone expected Roland Emmerich to really impress us with this movie . Godzilla had a lot to live up to . It disappointed on every level imaginable . The only way to enjoy this is as purely brain-dead nonsense . Think about it and you'll realize how bad it is . So seriously , switch ... |
564,135 | 102,816 | 58,996 | 5 | Where have I seen this before ? | The Pink Panther fancies a job as a Matador but moths have eaten his red cape , so he decides to steal an enchanted cape from a Magician . Once in the arena his taunting of the bull only leads to magic going awry and the bull freaking out . It's mildly amusing without ever being laugh-out-loud funny . The whole premise... |
563,790 | 102,816 | 41,605 | 5 | No love from me | There's not much original about this short . Tom chases Jerry in the yard where they encounter Spike and his son Tyke sleeping peacefully . Jerry seeks refuge in their kennels while setting up Tom as the bad guy to the irritable Spike ( voiced by an uncredited actor ) . Jerry comes across as much more malevolent than T... |
563,962 | 102,816 | 301,766 | 5 | Not that great | There were 2 versions of Rambo III ( once the most expensive film ever , and the biggest loss ever ) released on home consoles . One was a first-person shooter that incorporated the light-gun ( much like Operation Wolf ) released on the Sega Master System and Commodore 64 . This one was slightly better . The other was ... |
564,528 | 102,816 | 167,901 | 5 | Guns . Guns ! And more Guns ! ! | Just what were war bonds anyway ? I've never actually found out but from the looks of this Disney wartime propaganda cartoon it looks like some sort of bank . How else would we invest in victory ? The cartoon begins with Donald relaxing in his hammock as the radio advertises war bond savings . Donald says he'll do it t... |
563,978 | 102,816 | 185,014 | 5 | Not much going on | For a film that has such interesting characters we only scratch the surface if exploring them fully . Hardly anything about why Tobey Maguire is a bit weird is explained to us . This is very annoying as he is the most intriguing character in the film . Although it was cool to see him paired up with Katie Holmes again .... |
563,890 | 102,816 | 287,963 | 5 | Not shocking or sexy at all | In fact it's a bit of a soap opera . Take away all the sex and you're left with some boring office politics you've seen dozens of times before . The story has 2 girls ( Nathalie and Sandrine ) get fired from their jobs at a tawdry Paris strip club . They move in together and strike up some kind of weird , half-lesbian ... |
564,869 | 102,816 | 43,495 | 5 | This is Looney Tunes ? | ' cause it sure doesn't feel like it . In fact it seems more like a Disney Public Service Announcement from the 40's . I mean , there is a black and white cat in this short and it's not even Sylvester . Why ? Basically it's about how fool's gamble their life away with opportunities they know are phony . A gambling bug ... |
564,472 | 102,816 | 287,978 | 5 | Fluff | Have never read one single Daredevil comic book in my life I guess my review is kind of unbiased . Okay , I am certainly NOT a fan of Ben Affleck but his presence in this film was an indifferent one rather than an aggravating one . For those of you who are unfamiliar Daredevil is also known as Matt Murdock , the blind ... |
563,811 | 102,816 | 160,236 | 5 | Better than I expected | I though this film was going to be nothing but juvenile nonsense . How pleased I was when I discovered that it was a lot livelier and energetic than I predicted . The voice-over never once annoyed me as I thought it would and everyone in this movie seems to go overboard with their characters . Yet , despite all the ene... |
564,639 | 102,816 | 146,882 | 5 | Talk , talk , talk , talk talk , | I don't mind movies having cool dialogue in every other scene . Talking about and building plot is important but HIGH FIDELITY has NO plot . It is nothing but talking . There are some cool scenes but it gets very boring very quickly . It was a long 113 minutes let me tell ya . I know what this movie is about . A man gr... |
563,906 | 102,816 | 39,637 | 5 | Generic T & J short . | In this cartoon Mammy-Two-Shoes ( not dubbed to be less ' offensive ' in the one I saw ) is devastated to learn that there is a mouse in the house and he's eating all the food and making a mess . So far , so typical . She gives the two lazy cats ( Tom and someone else who isn't named ) and ultimatum-the one that catche... |
564,455 | 102,816 | 69,995 | 5 | Not scary | I can't understand why this is regarded as a classic . The plot is simple and offers no real twists , the scenery is drab and depressing and there is some really ugly 70's fashion on display . I went to see this movie because I like Donald Sutherland but he looks more like 70's porn star John Holmes than the Donald Sut... |
564,636 | 102,816 | 126,816 | 5 | Ach , it's okay | This movie is closer to movies John Woo did before he came to Hollywood . I'm talking about Hard Boiled and The Killer . These both had high melodrama and an emotionally troubled hero . Dolph does quite a good job of this and gives a pretty good performance . Many people criticise Dolph for not being a good actor but w... |
564,236 | 102,816 | 397,042 | 5 | Wears thin fast | Six years have passed since the Umbrella Corporation released the T-Virus into the small town of Raccoon City and turned almost the entire population in flesh-eating zombies . Leon Kennedy , one of the survivors has risen from ordinary cop to a special agent in charge of VIP security . When the President's daughter is ... |
564,769 | 102,816 | 45,063 | 5 | A doped up Puma ? | Not much going on in this short , I'm afraid . Bugs saves his little , hyperactive pal Junior from being eaten by the slow-witted Pete Puma ( who acts like junkie looking for a fix ) . Bugs proceeds to execute a lame running gag with a hammer and hitting the poor doped-up puma on the head . It's not intelligent stuff ,... |
564,587 | 102,816 | 184,894 | 5 | So Light It Floats | There's a fair amount of fun to be had with this film . It doesn't take itself seriously or bother going too deep . The tone is bright and happy and it makes for perfect mindless entertainment . But nothing else . Seriously , there is no need to watch this more than once as it is the most forgetable pile of utter silli... |
563,921 | 102,816 | 80,761 | 5 | A slick potboiler , but pretty tame in retrospect . | In 1979 Sean S . Cunningham was looking to produce a mere potboiler to tide him over until his next serious project . His idea of a Summer Camp Killer movie seemed like a decent , low-budget , one-shot deal and he went with it . There was nothing particularly memorable or unique about it but it was bought by Paramount ... |
564,132 | 102,816 | 60,835 | 5 | Off on a pink hurl | The Pink Panther is nosing around a used-car lot and is contemplating buying a small bug car that looks like it would fit him perfectly . Only it's the wrong color . So he happily pays good money for it and takes it home to spray-paint . Once out on the streets with his new pink bug the car starts to give him hassle an... |
563,793 | 102,816 | 41,446 | 5 | Blah | I'm not too keen on this one , I'm afraid . Jerry becomes an unexpected ' mama ' to a baby woodpecker after an egg falls out of a nest and rolls into his quarters beneath the house . The baby bird hatches and mistakes Jerry for it's mother . Hardly an original concept for a cartoon , even back in 1949 . As expected , t... |
564,155 | 102,816 | 364,725 | 5 | Two parts Baseketball , One Part Kingpin | I have never seen a more unoriginal movie in my life . Every single joke , gag or pun in Dodgeball is blatantly and openly stolen from another movie . And this really , really bugs me . However I did laugh constantly and it was enjoyable . Though I must confess my hatred of Ben Stiller and his insistence to crank out 2... |
564,277 | 102,816 | 284,490 | 5 | Lukewarm | Such a promising concept ( as unoriginal as it may be ) like this cannot be fully exercised in a 95 minute long movie . Had this movie been made a few years ago then it may have been a bit more original and ' in time ' to be a part of the whole ' reality TV ' boom . As it stands ' Showtime ' is neither ironic nor excit... |
563,910 | 102,816 | 295,846 | 5 | Better than Goldeneye : Rogue Agent , but still a bland FPS . | I'm not really big on the Bond games . Most of then are no more than ordinary first person shooters with licensed characters . I guess since the original Goldeneye game on the Nintendo 64 was so popular they felt like they shouldn't stray to far from the winning formula . In this game we have a generic interpretation o... |
564,697 | 102,816 | 819,940 | 5 | You have to be kidding me ! | Is this a video-game or a book ? I've never done so much reading in my life so I'm sure it's not a video-game . Trace Memory is one of the early Nintendo DS titles and it seems to have been made to showcase the DS features as any kind of enjoyable gameplay has been totally thrown out the window . You play a very cute J... |
563,930 | 102,816 | 319,262 | 5 | Important message drowned in clichés and empty effects | Roland Emmerich seems to have learned a few lessons from ID4 . TDAT is not disgustingly patriotic and is far more darker and serious . The comical nature of ID4 ruined it somewhat and I'm glad he chose to mute it for this movie . But still , though the subject matter is serious and definitely needs more consideration i... |
564,766 | 102,816 | 475,592 | 5 | More like Plastic Axe | I was dreading playing this game after suffering the unspeakably awful Golden Axe 2 . Honestly , I have played few video games that made me want to hurl my console out the window but the first sequel to Golden Axe brought me very close . Originally not released outside of Japan , Golden Axe three offers a bit more in t... |
564,176 | 102,816 | 27,962 | 5 | Awful Opera | Eesh , if I were making an Opera I would NOT cast a hen as the fat lady . Sorry . She's just awful , that noise . . . ugh ! I think Disney should have realized her singing would have put people off ! The 1 minute shot of her just singing was too much to bear . As usual for a Disney cartoon , calamity is not far behind ... |
564,255 | 102,816 | 416,315 | 5 | Extremely predictable and a mighty slow start | There is not one wolf in the film . But that doesn't mean there ain't no predator and prey . Three friends : Ben , Lizzie and Kirsty are off on a hedonistic tour across the Austrailian outback . It's a pleasant enough trip despite the usual country hicks making fun of them . Upon visiting the second largest asteroid cr... |
564,529 | 102,816 | 309,698 | 5 | Engaging thriller that deflates halfway through | Identity quickly sets itself up as a tightly-drawn whodunnit mystery thriller . As 10 strangers ( including John Cusack , Ray Liotta , John C . McGinley , Clea Duvall , Rebecca DeMornay , Amanda Peet , Jake Busey ) come together in a rundown desert motel during a rainstorm , suspicions and fear among them rise when it ... |
564,784 | 102,816 | 395,109 | 5 | Not great , but better than Vengeance | I hated Batman : Vengeance and I was a little bit weary about playing this game . So I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually a fun little beat-em-up in the tradition of Streets of Rage and Double Dragon . However it is still quite a shallow game . Each level looks exactly the same as you ( as Batman , R... |
564,677 | 102,816 | 454,923 | 5 | SNES version is a classic , GBA version is a disgrace | The evil scum of the Bydo Empire are at it again . So it's up to you to climb into your R-9 Ragnarok vessel and blast off to defeat the mutant alien slime . This second sequel ( or third if you count the Japanese Arcade-only R-Type Leo ) was originally just as solid as any other game in the series . This GBA version is... |
564,312 | 102,816 | 28,069 | 5 | Very Bad Kids | Mickey and Donald very kindly treat the local orphans to a picnic in the countryside . And how do they repay them ? By tormenting them and ruining the picnic . How about that for gratitude . It's not massively funny but the orphans ( all looking like little Mickeys ) are so cute . And would I be correct in assuming tha... |
564,648 | 102,816 | 37,793 | 5 | Not Dracula's house . | Count Dracula and Larry Talbot ( the Wolfman ) turn up at Doctor Edelman's house asking for a cure . But they have to get in line behind hunchback nurse . Edelman has found a new sort of fungus with potential cure possibilities and the best place to grow it is in an old cave beneath the house . This just happens to be ... |
564,856 | 102,816 | 291,715 | 5 | An okay platformer . . . | . . . though increasingly tedious and a bit dull . As usual for film tie-ins of the time it had little do with the story of Alien 3 . Ripley runs about with a big gun ( there were no guns in the film ) shooting at loads of aliens ( there was only one in the film ) through many different levels . While the levels looks ... |
564,651 | 102,816 | 190,374 | 5 | Not as bad as most would have you believe . | While not a masterpiece of any kind ( the film barely exceeds mere competence ) I didn't find D & D to be as bad as the negative reviews claimed . I put off watching it for so long for this reason , but it was enjoyable enough . Comparisons to the LOTR trilogy are inevitable , so I'm not going to avoid it . I didn't re... |
563,778 | 102,816 | 146,336 | 5 | Very Clichéd | Almost every horror cliché is present in this movie . Cars not starting , a girl not believing the guy is really getting killed , the dumb authority dismissing the heroine's cry for help as nonsense and many , many more . All teens ( actors in their 20s ) are booze and sex hounds who do nothing more than party and laug... |
564,171 | 102,816 | 331,468 | 5 | Really ought to have been made in Britain with an unknown cast | With a more low-key theatrical release and no big-names stars Cold Creek Manor might have had some more credibility . Director Mike Figgis has no real experience , or business , in Hollywood movies and the mere fact that this got such a big release may be part of the films downfall . With such marketing , word-of-mouth... |
564,397 | 102,816 | 62,124 | 5 | Where's Pink ? | The Pink Panther turns up on a tropical island after walking all the way there under water , holding his breath , with an umbrella up to keep him dry . All he wants is a relaxing vacation but a little hunter man and his faithful dog are disturbing him . So he plays tricks on them . Pinky is hardly in this cartoon at al... |
564,672 | 102,816 | 469,205 | 5 | Cute game with no lasting appeal at all | For a game made in 1994 this Sega Genesis platformer does have some clunky controls and a real lack of innovation . Yes , the graphics are brilliant but the sound effects are rotten and the music is worse . The gameplay has a few neat tricks but nothing amazing . And the lack of steady control when Taz goes into a whir... |
563,895 | 102,816 | 483,141 | 5 | Gorgeous to look at , little else . | Road Avenger was one of the games Sega used to promote the Sega CD system on its launch . You can see why when looking at clips from the game . The graphics are wonderful and to the naive it would seem looks like a living anime cartoon that you can control . But looks can be deceiving . The story had you play as an ex-... |
564,263 | 102,816 | 36,278 | 5 | Quite Boring | In this short , Pluto is assigned to guard the army base against potential invaders . This task he accepts with keen enthusiasm . But the invaders turn out to be Chip and Dale ( before they became Rescue Rangers ) and they play lots of pranks on poor old Pluto . Basically , they are using the weight of a huge gun barre... |
564,328 | 102,816 | 1,020,530 | 5 | Pointless though modestly entertaining nonsense | I'll be blunt . There is not a single part of Eden Lake ( oh , the irony ) that has not been done in another film . From beginning to end you will recognize elements from Last House on the Left , Texas Chainsaw Massacre ( old and new ) , Wrong Turn , Breakdown , Judgment Night , The Descent etc etc etc . It goes on and... |
564,315 | 102,816 | 82,495 | 5 | Already falling into tedium | When it comes to keeping a consistent plot the Halloween series has been the absolute worst . 1 and 2 follow each other okay , 3 is the joker in the pack , Return , Revenge and Curse were nothing but gibberish and H20 and Resurrection have been poor ' post-modern ' exercises in convention merely using the Halloween nam... |
564,566 | 102,816 | 48,649 | 5 | I HATE Speedy Gonzales | Man , I hope I'm in the majority here . But I gotta be honest , this mouse is so highly , extremely irritating . Does he ever shut up ? Not only that but the whole character is kind of xenophobic and un-PC . Now I am certainly NOT one for being PC but I still find Speedy kinda offensive . In this cartoon he asked by hi... |
564,762 | 102,816 | 1,194,567 | 5 | If I wanted a love story I wouldn't watch Indiana Jones ! | Young Indy travels to Austria with his parents where he meets Princess Sophie at a riding stable and falls madly in love when they sneak off for the afternoon . But her parents are furious and forbid them to see each other again . After taking dodgy advice from none other than Sigmund Freud Indy runs off to proclaim hi... |
564,670 | 102,816 | 322,435 | 5 | Looks great but not my thing | Don't get me wrong . I love RPGs and building up custom characters but I don't like them in the 2D world of the GBA . On the PC I have played awesome games like Dungeon Siege , where the RPG element is at it's best but I found Golden Sun to be really slow . It took ages to get going and there is an unbelievable amount ... |
563,784 | 102,816 | 119,345 | 5 | Quite boring | This was the first true product off the conveyor belt of Hollywood teen-slasher flicks after the highly over-exposed SCREAM . Teen-slashers were suddenly back in fashion . And Hollywood loves teen-slashers . These movies are basically the same tripe done over and over , made for very little , with no aces up the sleeve... |
563,817 | 102,816 | 168,114 | 5 | Blam ! Blam ! Shoot me with grease bullets ! | Well , I had no idea bacon fat could be so deadly . And I'm sure the housewives of America at the time didn't know that common kitchen grease could be made into torpedoes that would sink Nazi U-boats or 1 billion steel tipped bullets to blow away the advancing army . And hey , you know what ? If you save a pound of fat... |
564,531 | 102,816 | 356,634 | 5 | Below average generic kids movie . | And only marginally redeemed by Garfield . There's not much to separate this from rubbish like Cats and Dogs and Stuart Little . Everything that happens on screen is there to appeal to the youngest of kids . No one over the age of 8 will get much out of this movie . Unlike movies such as Shrek 2 or Brother Bear , there... |
564,046 | 102,816 | 370,082 | 5 | A significant lack of scares . | Wishing Stairs is the least scary of the Yeogo Goedam films so far ( I've still to see the fourth however ) . It's just the same old clichés of ' be careful what you wish for ' done in a South Korean girls school . It's like Wishmaster gone Asian with a bit of Grange Hill thrown in for abstract measure . The windy atmo... |
564,441 | 102,816 | 38,259 | 5 | More like ' The Woman in Black and White ' | A serial killer on the streets of London has Scotland Yard in a panic . Inspector Gregson ( replacing Lestrade , who is obviously not suited to this kind of story ) asks Holmes for help . On the case for only a few minutes , Holmes already makes keen observations and quickly deduces that it all must be the devilish wor... |
563,969 | 102,816 | 449,811 | 5 | A bit weird | I'm not sure for what purposes this short was produced . It seems like the kind of thing Alan Partridge would do for Comic Relief or something . It was made after his talk show but before the docu-sitcom that followed in 1997 so I believe that Steve Coogan was trying to experiment with the character a bit . The short i... |
564,336 | 102,816 | 395,767 | 5 | Sonic the Hedgehog should stay in 2 | This game was an improvement over the awful Sonic Adventure 2 , but no by much . It has the potential to be more fun but is still crippled by horrible gameplay and bad camera problems . The switching between 3 characters , who each have 3 different abilities , became very annoying and the levels were all too alike and ... |
563,761 | 102,816 | 31,241 | 5 | ' This is very , very exasperating . ' | In this cartoon an ungainly and annoying goose called Gus turns up at Donald's house with a note from Aunt Fanny ( ? ) claiming that he is his cousin and is here for a visit . The note also says he doesn't eat much , which turns out to be a total lie since Gus proceeds to eat Donald out of house and home and turn an ot... |
564,758 | 102,816 | 482,895 | 5 | Not the best racing game , not the worst . | I can't remember what possessed me to buy BC Racers . From the package artwork it looked like a cute , cartoony kind of racing game but I usually hate racing games . However , I had just recently got a Sega CD and this was one of the games in the shop and it was rather cheap so I figured why not . As a racing game it's... |
564,615 | 102,816 | 465,511 | 5 | Five minutes of fun | I paid only 400 pennies for this game . And quite right too as it certainly does not have much lasting appeal . In fact I finished it twice the very day I started playing it and was about to go for a third today but it just wasn't worth it as all the levels ( 8 of them ) were the same and there was no variety other tha... |
564,370 | 102,816 | 133,412 | 5 | Middle of the Road | The only reason I watched this is because my girlfriend threatened me to . This is movie is sooo desperate to be a post modern crime thriller that it looks and feels so relentlessly superficial . Most scenes are decked out in unpleasant pastel colors and interiors are always lit with warm lights . It's nice to look at ... |
