564,812 | 102,816 | 279,113 | 6 | It's not a comedy | Even though it stars Jennifer Aniston of the thankfully canceled , obnoxious , fake sitcom Friends and it's written by Mike White , who wrote Orange County this is not a comedy movie , a romantic movie or a chick flick . More of a bleak drama with the feel of an independent movie . In some dead-end Texas town a superma... |
564,085 | 102,816 | 61,508 | 6 | And who , may I ask , is the father ? | Desperately hungry , the Pink Panther does a Yogi Bear-style theft of a picnic basket from a huge family of campers only to discover that he's actually stolen a baby instead of food when he finally settles down to eat it . He runs all the way back to return it but the family have already taken-off , apparently forgetti... |
563,831 | 102,816 | 59,898 | 6 | Still Looking | The last time we saw the Pink Panther was in Pink Pajamas , in which he was desperate for a safe , warm place to get his head down . Nothing has changed as in this cartoon he stows away in Gamble's department store for a cozy night . But the night janitor is suspicious of their uninvited guest and ends up being the but... |
564,076 | 102,816 | 34,753 | 6 | A fairly average early Tom and Jerry short | Tom is listening to a spook story on the radio ( a form of entertainment I wish was still around ) and is so wound up by the possibility of ghosts , that he jumps in fright at every sound . Taking advantage of this for his own personal fun , Jerry tries to freak Tom out by playing pranks on him , the main one being sti... |
564,308 | 102,816 | 28,981 | 6 | Typical hijinks | While on vacation in Hawaii Mickey , Minnie , Donald , Goofy and Pluto get up to the usual mischief . This short mainly focuses on surfing Goofy ( in a ridiculous beach outfit ) and his many failed attempts to catch a decent wave break and Pluto who just runs about on the beach getting shells stuck on his head . Donald... |
564,432 | 102,816 | 472,043 | 6 | Mel Gibson and the Temple of Doom | Take Gibson's ego . Add an several tablespoons of Aztec . Mix with 2 parts Indiana Jones and 1 part Predator . Blend for 139 minutes and you get Apocalypto . Is that even a real word ? As hyped-up as it is , it's really nothing you ain't seen before . Jaguar-Paw and his tribe-folk live in a quaint corner of the Rainfor... |
564,136 | 102,816 | 36,656 | 6 | And I will always ha-ate yooooooo ! ! ! | Tom and Jerry are involved in a chase , as per damn usual . Jerry , when hiding , springs Spike loose from the Pound Van . As a reward , Spike says he will help-out Jerry whenever he is in trouble . All he has to do is whistle and Spike will be there to save him . So the chase continues and just when Tom has him in his... |
564,409 | 102,816 | 59,800 | 6 | Not much going on here . | Thunderball may have nice locations and pretty seaside scenery but there's a shocking lack in set pieces or excitement . The evil SPECTRE organisation nicks a warplane and lands it in the ocean . Within minutes they've spirited away the nuclear warheads and are demanding a ransom or they'll blow up a major city . Sound... |
564,199 | 102,816 | 1,110,280 | 6 | Fun , but repetitive and lacking in thrills | As much as I enjoyed Super Paper Mario , I just wasn't impressed by any part of it . It's a cute Mario game ( as they all are ) but I never felt like I was really playing an RPG and the endless dialogue bubbles really slow the game down . The levels are colorful and bright and look absolutely gorgeous . The music is pl... |
564,154 | 102,816 | 337,563 | 6 | Better than Big | For some reason people hold Tom Hanks ' BIG in high regard . I did not find it funny one little bit . And the supposed irony of him growing up to play with toys for a job annoyed me even when I was 8 years old . I knew adult life wasn't like that . For all of it's ridiculousness , 13 going on 30 is much better . Plus i... |
564,743 | 102,816 | 372,784 | 7 | The best Batman film by far | Tim Burton did a good job on the first 2 movies but Joel Schumacher turned the franchise into bold-faced gay fantasy that had pretty much nothing to do with Batman at all and more in common with the camp-as-hell 1960's TV series . I can see why 8 years and a restart of the franchise is necessary in order for Batman to ... |
564,631 | 102,816 | 120,524 | 7 | Should have been longer | I think the basic premise of this movie is quite entertaining and the movie as a whole is way better than most of the teen-based horror flicks of late . The effects may be a bit hokey and the direction lackluster but this is a way cool movie that received far less than it deserved . The plot focuses on the Djinn , that... |
564,058 | 102,816 | 384,537 | 7 | Pulls you head-first into unfathomable depths of mystery | I knew literally nothing of Silent Hill before I walked into the cinema , as I have never played the game or read anything of it . So I was almost free from bias or prejudice . However , video games have had a terrible history when made into movies ( Super Mario Brothers , Double Dragon , Tomb Raiders , Doom , Resident... |
564,175 | 102,816 | 388,426 | 7 | Good to see Sonic back in his 2D form | While I liked Sonic Adventure I was not very keen on it's sequel or Sonic Heroes . The blue hedgehog and his pals simply do not belong in a 3D world and I was more than eager to get this game as it is a return to good old days of Sonic's previous incarnations on the Genesis . Everything you would have liked about the o... |
564,430 | 102,816 | 39,045 | 7 | Not falling for it . | T & J are chasing right from the beginning in this one and Tom is having his usual no luck on catching him . This time he decides to call an exterminator company , hoping that they might have some more elaborate traps handy that Tom could never dream of . They send a cat to catch the mouse ( naturally ) but , like Tom ... |
564,610 | 102,816 | 95,647 | 7 | Interesting story of pointless bigotry and hatred | I remember seeing this movie back in high school in RE ( that's Religious Education for you folks who didn't have the ' privilage ' of going to a strict Catholic Fundamentalist school ) and thinking it was a pretty good movie . Despite the fact that we were 14 and the film is rated 18 over here in the UK , which was to... |
564,410 | 102,816 | 99,180 | 7 | I like it better than the first . | Remember the end of the original ? Dr . Herbert West was being strangled by a rampaging intestine . But don't worry , he's not dead . The zombie responsible didn't have the guts for it . Now , five years after the massacre at Miskatonic University , he's in some South American hell-hole in the middle of a civil war usi... |
564,238 | 102,816 | 95,737 | 7 | A rather mild cartoon | This late-80's cartoon is quite easy-going but not that funny . Still , it's Daffy Duck and he's very cute . It begins with Daffy reading a horror comic book ( having already read his Mad Magazine ) and going crazy when he can't find the second issue of a two-part cliffhanger . In his desperate search a heavy clock fal... |
563,795 | 102,816 | 41,757 | 7 | No winners here | This short begins with Tom using Jerry as a yo-yo for his own pleasure before Mammy-Two-Shoes ( dubbed to appease the PC Brigade in the version I saw ) orders him out of the house for the night , despite the fact that it's pouring with rain . Why does she insist on torturing him like this again ? Anyway , Tom pretends ... |
564,256 | 102,816 | 36,932 | 7 | Seaman Goofy | This is actually a rather funny cartoon that details the history of man on the oceans . From the first log and paddle to the battleships of today . All demonstrated by Goofy and for once he's entertaining . The narration is quite sarcastic and makes fun of Goofy at every turn . He's just an ordinary sailor up to endles... |
564,689 | 102,816 | 72,687 | 7 | Many Broken Hearts | No one seems to have a good time or find love in this Peanuts TV special . Charlie gets no Valentine cards , Linus misses out on his opportunity to give chocolates to his favorite teacher and Shroeder vows to never marry Lucy , much to her anger . It's kinda downbeat for a Valentine's TV special . So much so that kids ... |
563,802 | 102,816 | 103,060 | 7 | Pretty good sequel | This film opens with tremendous confidence and energy . The humor of the Turtles may be so 1990 but I still dig it . The opening scene in the shopping mall is way funny and a great way to introduce is to the sequel . At the time the style of the Turtles wasn't so stale , so the plot may seem a bit childish or dumb now ... |
564,497 | 102,816 | 99,253 | 7 | Sorry Jack , Chucky's back ! | Universal must have realized the potential this franchise had and quickly snapped up the rights from MGM after the first movie came out . Writer Don Mancini also must have figured out that his creation of a foul-mouthed killer doll was too good for just one film . The Chucky series would seriously evolve and change ove... |
564,045 | 102,816 | 120,390 | 7 | Completely mad | Turbulence is just plain stupidity from beginning to end . But there is so much fun to be had in the madness that it's always worth a mindless watch . Our silly plot has Ray Liotta and Brendan Gleeson as serial killer and bank robber breaking loose from their captors aboard a virtually empty cross-country flight , kill... |
564,209 | 102,816 | 110,823 | 7 | A mixed bag , but still a lot of fun ( or should that be phun ) | When we last saw Mike and Reggie the Tall Man had cornered them on a lonely highway and seemed to have gained the upper hand . For some reason , he's interested in kidnapping Mike for his own evil purposes . Reg threatens to blow them all up unless the Tall Man backs offs . He agrees , but threatens to strike again in ... |
564,761 | 102,816 | 154,003 | 7 | Pleasant journey | After the extremely dull Perils of Cupid this next adventure of Young Indiana Jones is a helluva lot more interesting . His first adventure takes place in Russia , where his parents are staying in a castle with a bunch of important people . Indy gets into trouble and his dad gets furious . Tired of his parents ' rules ... |
563,882 | 102,816 | 277,296 | 7 | So he's . . . the bad guy ? | Okay , I'm confused . The Mummy Returns portrays the Scorpion King as some evil tyrant who wants to take over the world by smiting any and all civilizations in his way . But that's exactly the opposite of the same character in his very own movie . In fact he struggles to overthrow an evil ruler for those very reasons .... |
564,768 | 102,816 | 91,225 | 7 | Howard , forever the Underduck | Let me tell you something about film critics . It's easy to pick faults in someone else's work , even if you do not have it in your power to create an equal work of art . The average film critic , by his very nature , is just a pretentious know-it-all who is quite frequently talking from the wrong end of his alimentary... |
564,476 | 102,816 | 120,347 | 7 | Brosnan's best Bond adventure | I was never very keen on Brosnan as James Bond . He always seemed like he was trying to be a smart-ass instead of a hard-ass . I remember when Goldeneye came out back in November 1995 the media were raving about it being a new Bond for a new era but to me it actually felt quite regressive . After the angry , extremely ... |
564,111 | 102,816 | 457,444 | 7 | More of the same | Yes , the original R-Type was brilliant . And of course a sequel was more than welcome . But the sequel we got was just far too similar to the first . It feels more like an expansion pack than anything else . The first level of R-Type II is virtually the exact same as before . Even the music hasn't changed . Level 2 di... |
564,632 | 102,816 | 156,182 | 7 | Cool sequel . . . | . . . that improves on the original in almost all areas . The franchise is still low profile but worth attention . Wishmaster 2 chucks in some new ideas and mythology but only retains one cast member . And that is Andrew Divoff in the role of The Djinn / Demerest . Once again he is simultaneously witty , evil , cunning... |
564,017 | 102,816 | 33,268 | 7 | Deja vu | This cartoon reminded me a lot of a previous Donald short called Clock Cleaners . The same high rise / vertigo gags are used but that doesn't stop it from being funny . Donald is washing windows while Pluto down on the ground sends up fresh buckets of water . But he's to busy napping and ignores Donald when prompted wi... |
564,514 | 102,816 | 28,378 | 7 | Very Imaginative | After falling asleep reading Alice Through the Looking Glass , Mickey dreams about walking through the mirror and entering and opposite world where almost everything is alive and has a personality . Sort of in the same way as all those annoying , singing teacups in the awful Beauty and the Beast movie . There are many ... |
564,338 | 102,816 | 416,165 | 7 | You don't like pussy on the hair ? | Pierre Woodman's laughable attempts at English don't seem to curb his cool when he is seducing women and ' auditioning ' them for porn . The first has a girl called Baby Lou do a scene with Pierre , which includes anal . But it's boring and not worth watching . The second scene stars Sunny Blue , who is absolutely gorg... |
563,912 | 102,816 | 97,733 | 7 | They're back , they're bad . He's black , he's mad . | The topical plot of Lethal Weapon 2 may seem a little dated now , but Soud Av-ree-gan villains are always despicable and who doesn't love to them get blown away . In this second installment in the LW series , Riggs and Murtaugh babysit FBI witness Leo Getz ( a wimpy , eager to be friends Joe Pesci ) , much to their dis... |
564,427 | 102,816 | 167,190 | 7 | Stops short of being a great comic-book movie . | As far as most comic-book movies go , they usually follow the same-old path of showing us the origins of whatever hero for about 45 minutes before getting into a real ( but usually superficial ) plot . This can lead to a never-ending list of deadbeats such Hulk , Spider-Man and Catwoman and rarely ends up with a good m... |
564,483 | 102,816 | 1,213,568 | 7 | Just go to bed with them already ! | What is it with Indy and only kissing the girls he likes ? Bond would have them naked in a heartbeat . After escaping Mexico with Remy in tow Indy travels to Ireland and ends up in the middle of a catholic / protestant stand-off . It interesting to get an early 19th century perspective on this conflict but most of it t... |
564,115 | 102,816 | 407,142 | 7 | What is the aim of the game ? | Okay , this was one of those really , really dated adventure games on the C64 . The kind that was made entirely of text written on a screen and you typed in what you wanted the character to do . How on earth people managed to play these ( me included ) is beyond belief . Especially as this game was nigh-impossible . Th... |
563,794 | 102,816 | 41,592 | 7 | Good Mousekeeping | Despite winning an Oscar the PC Brigade still managed to have this short censored to keep us sheltered people in the 21st century safe from whatever material was appropriate in 1948 . Jerry babysits little Nibbles for Thanksgiving , trouble is the baby mouse likes to eat a bit too much , and after they help themselves ... |
564,319 | 102,816 | 120,784 | 7 | Enjoyable pulp nonsense . | Mad Mel is Porter , a crafty crook out for revenge on his wife and cohorts after they betray him for a meagre amount of stolen money and leave him for dead . Five months later , a not-dead Porter returns , recuperated and motivated by pure rage . He wants his end of the stolen money ( $70 , 000 ) , nothing more . And h... |
564,667 | 102,816 | 457,486 | 7 | Play it in the arcade | Remember the movie Re-Animator , based on the short stories by HP Lovecraft ? Remember the crazy Doctor Herbert West , played so wildly by Jeffrey Combs ? Well it seems that Doctor West has been dabbling some more into bad science and has created an army of freaks and monsters . He's long since vanished but the monster... |
564,387 | 102,816 | 384,819 | 7 | Bloodier than a butcher's bathroom . | I pretty much enjoyed everything there was to Azumi . For a 2-hour plus film , I never once really felt the running time . It just seemed to pass in a breeze . The only films that feel this way for me are films that have one great scene after another and Azumi delivers exactly that . Character development , while not s... |
564,744 | 102,816 | 457,473 | 7 | The best Shinobi game | After ' Revenge ' the Shinobi games went downhill quite bit with the rather tepid Shadow Dancer . I know I'm not the only person in the world who was disappointed with the Genesis port because the arcade version ( and even the Commodore 64 version ) was so much better ( and almost completely different ) . Shinobi III g... |
564,874 | 102,816 | 338,348 | 7 | A non-obnoxious and sober family movie . | I'm sick of arrogant animated movies that force us into thinking they're great even though they're classless exercises in poor taste and franchise milking . Recent examples include Finding Nemo , The Incredibles and , worst of all , Shark Tale . Dreamworks seems to be the worst among all this . Their basic logic is ' L... |
564,218 | 102,816 | 61,044 | 7 | Is it a bird ? Is it a plane ? | No , it's a large , anthropomorphic pink cat . The Pink Panther is sitting in hammock reading a super-hero comic-book and wishes to be one himself . He nicks a pink cape from a nearby washing-line ands sets about rescuing and helping people in need . Only he's really , really bad at it and would be better off not inter... |
564,153 | 102,816 | 32,339 | 7 | Funny ! | I remember watching this on BBC2 when I was about 8 years old and finding it hysterical . So , much to my pleasure , Universal has released it on DVD ( Region 2 only ) along with many other Laurel and Hardy movies . I chose to watch the black and white version as that is how I originally saw it . There is an extended o... |
564,202 | 102,816 | 106,519 | 7 | DePalma shoots himself in the foot with the dumbest opening scene ever . | Fortunately the rest of the film is good enough to make up for it . The opening shows Carlito Brigante , former criminal , being hauled away in a stretcher , covered in blood after being shot . Well , now I know how the film ends . The suspense of the film's climax is ruined if we immediately know his fate . Duh ! Paci... |
564,638 | 102,816 | 130,414 | 7 | Could have used more magic and less politics | There have been zillions of incarnations of this particular story and who knows which one tells it in the truest form . In this version the legend is told from Merlin's point of view , from his creation to his old age . There's no way of verifying how much of this is true but I imagine that Queen Mab and Frick are just... |
564,257 | 102,816 | 292,520 | 7 | Who needs a life ? | In this TV special Jon is the one who needs a life . The highlight of his day is counting the tiles on the ceiling and rearranging his sock drawer . Not content with this forever , Jon takes Garfield to a self help group in order to meet people . How many people will be interested in a loner 20-something who's best fri... |
564,267 | 102,816 | 405,422 | 7 | Surprisingly good | I missed out on this film during its cinema release as I figured it to be yet another sex-comedy with gross-out gags . While the film does contain a little of this it is way more character based and the humor comes from more absurd situations than disgusting . Never judge book by its cover eh . Andy Stitzer ( Steve Car... |
564,570 | 102,816 | 59,102 | 7 | Safe House | Probably still looking for a place to get some sleep , the Pink Panther has strangely chose a safe in a random building to catch some Zs . But some burglar dude turns up with the intention of breaking in . Old Pinky has fun changing locks and tormenting him , as usual . The little burglar dude can hardly believe his ey... |
564,253 | 102,816 | 63,456 | 7 | Poor guy | Poor Anthony Perkins . He played one psycho and then another within a few years of each other and the guy got typecast for the rest of his career . I must say that Pretty Poison's Dennis Pitt is to Psycho's Norman Bates what a firecracker is to the big bang . Orphan Pitt is fresh out of jail after spending some time in... |
564,018 | 102,816 | 32,402 | 7 | Getting away from it all | Donald is on vacation in what appears to the a forest in the Pacific Northwest . His boat doubles as a tent ( why does Donald need a boat ? He's a duck ! ) and is stuffed with supplies of every kind . One of which is a cryptic folding deck chair . As Donald naps on this difficult contraption a bunch of very cute chipmu... |
564,116 | 102,816 | 37,303 | 7 | No relation to Peter Parker | The police are baffled after a series of suicides in which a bunch of men , wearing their pyjamas , throw themselves out of high windows or blow their brains out . The city needs Sherlock Holmes on the case but he's too busy being on holiday in Scotland with Watson ( cue the tune to Take the High Road as the film fades... |
564,573 | 102,816 | 390,521 | 7 | Well duh ! | Morgan Spurlock's kamikaze documentary seems to be under the impression that the whole world hadn't a clue McDonald's was bad for you . We all knew that , man . But the criticisms his methods have met with are unfair . Many people have complained that over-eating is bad for you no matter where you eat from . But Spurlo... |
564,705 | 102,816 | 409,182 | 7 | Actually quite good , but could have been nastier ! | Poseidon runs a surprisingly brisk 99 minutes , which I think is the film's only failing as it's a full 20 minutes shorter than the original . The set pieces the film has to offer are all nail-biting and intense , but I just felt that there wasn't enough of them . I'm not such a big fan of the original . I liked it as ... |
564,501 | 102,816 | 120,684 | 7 | Fairly decent character drama | Although it's nothing but dialogue and character study this film passes by in what seems like a few minutes . It is very well acted and directed with some great cinematography . But I would have liked to see more on Whales ' troubled childhood , that part would appeal to me . The bit where he's talking about ' pan-drip... |
564,054 | 102,816 | 79,945 | 7 | As far from the restrictions of TV as it could possibly be . | Oooh , a difficult one this . Very difficult indeed . Unless you are particularly patient , or are a hardcore Star Trek fan this is going to take some effort to stick with . It doesn't seem like a Trekkie movie . Nowhere near as much fun as Wrath Of Khan , or First Contact . Not as much humour as The Voyage Home . In f... |
563,771 | 102,816 | 83,798 | 7 | Mostly fun , but loses its way a bit | DMDWP is a black and white film noir comedy that uses footage from real film noirs from the 40s and 50s and inter cuts them with the plot to make it appears that Steve Martin is really talking to / acting with the likes of Humphrey Bogart , Bette Davis , James Cagney etc . The effect is almost seamless but for a movie ... |
564,203 | 102,816 | 85,936 | 7 | No acid rain , drug addiction , international terrorism or freeway killers in this one | Scrooge McDuck rather fittingly plays Ebeneezer Scrooge in this Disney version of a story that TV writers have been milking for years . To me , the only good movies based on Charles Dickens ' classic novel are this one , Scrooged and Muppet's Christmas Carol . Though I do remember seeing something as a kid called The S... |
564,252 | 102,816 | 32,470 | 7 | It just never works out | Donald is another name for disaster . Why do you think Cockney rhyming slang uses Donald Duck for bad luck ? In this cartoon Donald is a Fire Chief and his nephews his staff . Being such an incompetent leader he soon sets fire to the station-house itself and cannot save it for the life of him . Whether tackling raging ... |
564,088 | 102,816 | 68,473 | 7 | Deliver us from evil | This film is probably notorious , or infamous rather , for one scene only . It's one of those movies that is always followed by a bad impersonation upon the mentioning of the title . Perhaps like Dirty Harry and ' Are you feeling lucky punk ? ' . I will try to avoid using the line ' Squeal like a pig ' in this review ,... |
564,439 | 102,816 | 472,219 | 7 | If Looney Tunes did Batman . . . | Although it is rather serious in tone and deals with vampires and the undead , The Batman vs Dracula just seems to childish and too cartoony to be really effective . The color pallet is suitably drab and washed out and it does have a decent amount of atmosphere but I can't help but think that it could have been better ... |
564,486 | 102,816 | 349,818 | 7 | A furious button basher | I'm not really that familiar with the Metroid series . The only other one I have ever played so far is Metroid Pinball , so I'm totally not clued-up on the original that appeared on the NES back in 1986 . But I did go for this one because I heard that the original Turrican game was based partly on Metroid . And while t... |
564,548 | 102,816 | 120,616 | 7 | Bimbo | Fun , but dumb . That's how I'd pretty much describe The Mummy . Stephen Sommers has done some wild b-movies in his time ( Deep Rising ) and was a great choice to write and direct this remake of the old 1930s Universal horror show . Though I must stress that very little of this film is original . Basically it's an Indi... |
563,947 | 102,816 | 810,895 | 7 | What the Hellboy ? | Live action translates perfectly into animation in this feature-length Hellboy adventure . What makes it even better is that the main cast return to do the voices and Marco Beltrami's main theme is used . A lot of animated spin-offs in the past have proved to be just as good when taken seriously by the makers ( Animatr... |
564,524 | 102,816 | 192,731 | 7 | Superior Sequel | I was perhaps a little too hard on the first when I reviewed it . When compared to the ' I know ' movies it seems much better but this sequel rocks . Although not completely different from all the other teen ( ? ) slasher flicks out there Urban Legend 2 seems to be fresher than I had expected . I was pleasantly surpris... |
564,481 | 102,816 | 431,641 | 7 | Less dynamic but still a worthy sequel | Despite the success of Azumi the makers appear to have cut back on the budget for this sequel and as a result we get much less in the way of innovative action and a LOT more of wandering around in the forest . The story picks up not long after the first with Azumi and Nagara still going after the warlords intent on sei... |
563,791 | 102,816 | 41,231 | 7 | Blow the man down , matey | The cartoon begins with Tom preparing himself with loads of ointments and lotions for a day of sunbathing at the beach . It's immediately ruined by Jerry coming along and bothering him . For a minute they do their usual chasing before Tom runs of the end of a pier and ' drowns ' . But at the bottom of the ocean ( all t... |
563,975 | 102,816 | 392,728 | 7 | The first ever movie ! | No plot . No sound . No credits . But it was the first ever moving picture and it was directed by Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince , a man who's dad was pals with the earliest of photographers . The film simply involves Le Prince's family standing in the garden of a large Victorian house , moving around each other in circ... |
564,059 | 102,816 | 295,700 | 7 | Nothing new , but does it with style | Youths being killed one by one , a killer in the woods , stalk and slash , mutated cannibals . . . it's all been done a hundred times before . But not always as effectively and brutally as Wrong Turn . It's all in the execution folks , quite literally . Chris Flynn ( the always intense looking Desmond Harrington ) is a... |
564,322 | 102,816 | 93,870 | 7 | Stay out of trouble ! | RoboCop could have been the start of a great franchise . Instead the brand name piffled-out after the sequel and has since languished in the hell of TV shows , animated TV shows and mini-series crap . Paul Verhoeven's multi-layered original provided a platform for so much potential and possibility , it's a shame we onl... |
564,690 | 102,816 | 62,513 | 7 | Chuck's first crush | Charlie is in love with ' the little red-headed girl ' , the very one he fancied in ' Be My Valentine , Charlie Brown ' . But he's not got the courage to talk to her and frequently makes a laughing stock of himself with every attempt . Plus , everybody is making fun of him and Snoopy is not lending a sympathetic ear , ... |
564,865 | 102,816 | 76,363 | 7 | A cute , cosy cartoon , but not a classic | The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh are actually three separate theatrical shorts stitched together with some new footage ( in much the same way as Daffy Duck's Quackbusters ) . Because of this , there is no consistent story from beginning to end other than the usual hapless , hijinks of the animals from Hundred Acr... |
564,415 | 102,816 | 60,839 | 7 | No catfood ! | The Pink Panther is staying a mountain cabin for the holiday season but gets barricaded inside when a massive snowfall blocks his every exit . Since the snow doesn't melt until March , he's left with no option but to scour the cabin for anything edible . But he has to put up with a pesky mouse who is also out for a bit... |
563,792 | 102,816 | 41,450 | 7 | Just for the Hell of it | Tom chases Jerry for no particular reason , and the cartoon seems to be giving us the usual fare until Jerry flattens Tom with a piano , killing him . A quick ride to heaven on an escalator brings him to the pearly gates , where some kind of train conduction is a cat version of Saint Peter . The Heavenly Express leaves... |
564,876 | 102,816 | 43,376 | 7 | Poor Sly | I can't believe Sylvester's owners are cruel enough to go on holiday without him , never mind leaving him locked in the house for 2 weeks without any milk . Luckily our fave cat finds a massive stash of tinned tuna . But wait . . . no can opener . The mouse has stolen it . But instead of being nice to Sly the mouse tau... |
564,433 | 102,816 | 64,757 | 7 | The World Is Not Enough . | Always the underdog and never the Top Dog , OHMSS has a bad reputation that it doesn't deserve . I honestly don't know what Bond fans really want in their movies as they hate anything that has too many gadgets and set pieces ( like the uber-crap Die Another Day ) and turn their nose up at anything that represents Ian F... |
564,613 | 102,816 | 30,068 | 7 | How old is Donald ? | Coz in this he's still a kid going to school . Or at least he should be going to school . He doesn't feel like getting out of bed and his devil side wants to lie in but his angel side convinces him to get up . Then there's the dilemma of either going to school or having fun . Should he go fishing or go to class ? Shoul... |
564,851 | 102,816 | 412,305 | 7 | How far we've come | I got the demo of this game in Dec 1997 and for months me and my best friend did nothing but play it ( yes , nothing but the demo ) . Some months later I actually saved up enough to buy the full game and at the time it seemed so cool and interesting . I'd never played anything like AoE ( I had just gotten my first Wind... |
564,395 | 102,816 | 39,497 | 7 | Where's Jerry ? | The cat and mouse are involved in the usual chases when Jerry dives into a bottle of invisible ink and discovers that it makes him vanish . Instead of seizing the opportunity to go spy on a girl mouse changing room or something , he uses his new-found invisibility to torment Tom . And it's pretty funny and quite invent... |
564,675 | 102,816 | 433,771 | 7 | I liked this a lot ! | Since Warners revamped the Scooby-Doo franchise in 1998 , feature length mysteries have been inconsistent . The first few had real monsters , with no rubber masks , but far too many disgustingly PC mommies in America complained and the Brothers Warner folded and went back to the " guy in a suit to scare away the locals... |
564,467 | 102,816 | 93,894 | 7 | The future IS the 80's | Of all Arnold's mid-'80s movies who would have thought that most relevant today would be The Running Man . A chilling and surprisingly realistic tale of reality TV gone mad . It may have been far-fetched back then but not so now . Not when you think about it . Currently , Reality TV shows are either scraping the bottom... |
564,200 | 102,816 | 804,555 | 7 | A surprisingly good movie . | Low-rent slasher sequels are usually garbage , I mean has anyone seen Hostel 2 , The Grudge 2 or Hills Have Eyes 2 ? As a result I really wasn't expecting much of this movie despite enjoying the first , not merely for the gorgeous Eliza Dushku either . The premise is nothing new , but the characters , gore and inventiv... |
564,488 | 102,816 | 206,583 | 7 | One of the better film licences | I first played this game on the C64 when I was about 10 and I thought it was pretty damn good . The graphics were blocky but the locations were quite atmospheric and it was a great button basher . Later on I played it on the Mega Drive , which had a few extra levels added . But somehow it just wasn't as cool . The extr... |
564,404 | 102,816 | 424,421 | 7 | Great concept but falls just short of the mark | Second Sight has a brilliant story and a great idea behind the gameplay . You take on the role of John Vattic , who wakes up in a secure hospital / research facility with a battered , scarred body and a killer headache . He has no idea how he got there or what these people want with him . But he soon learns that he has... |
563,884 | 102,816 | 41,380 | 7 | The first , of many clones . | I'll be totally honest . I was never a big fan of Pepe Le Pew . Every one of his cartoons is the same . For some silly reason a cat will end up a white stripe on it's back and Pepe , a smelly skunk , falls in love with her . His foul scent is so strong that when he grabs her and unleashes an endless barrage of kisses ,... |
563,879 | 102,816 | 41,391 | 7 | Cutesy penguin | Not the Danny DeVito penguin I assure you . Bugs is on his way to Miami beach but , like usual , he cannot read a map to save his life ( it must be kinda tough to do underground I guess ) and ends up in the South Pole . After inadvertently saving the life of a cute little penguin from an Eskimo hunter ( in the south po... |
563,815 | 102,816 | 117,826 | 7 | The reason TFTC died | While the first film was a solid , self-contained horror flick with a touch of humor and a fair amount of sophistication and imagination , Bordello of Blood falls apart under poor direction and a far too free-spirited nature . While it is a failure as a sequel it manages to entertain only as a brainless time waster . D... |
564,560 | 102,816 | 356,202 | 7 | Play it in Fall or at Xmas | This sequel to Mickey's Castle of Illusion may have been far too easy but the level on animation ( at the time ) was wonderful and it had a strong Autumn atmosphere . The plot this time is that both Minnie and Daisie have been kidnapped by an evil witch ( the one from Snow White I think ) and it's up to the mouse and t... |
563,857 | 102,816 | 35,503 | 7 | Happy Duck Soldier | After being instructed to paint a huge cannon in camouflage colors Donald paints it in very noticeable spots and stripes . His drill sergeant obviously goes mad at him . Told to repaint it , Donald goes for a wander and comes across some experimental invisible paint . He wasn't told NOT to use it so why not ? Sure enou... |
564,022 | 102,816 | 24,184 | 7 | Excellent considering it's age | For a 72 year old film , The Invisible Man has rather faultless special effects and still seem impressive in this age of CGI . The story is quite simple but it's wonderfully directed by James Whale and has a rather cool atmosphere and enough menace about it to make it a rather good thriller . Just like the more recent ... |
564,160 | 102,816 | 60,451 | 7 | Rather imaginative | Pinky is out for a stroll when he comes across a talking lamp ( why they call Genie Lamps ' lamps ' is beyond my understanding as they are clearly old-fashioned kettles ) that tries to sell him the pros of being a genie ( the life and soul of the party and so on ) . Pinky falls for it and crams himself into the lamp ( ... |
563,956 | 102,816 | 31,744 | 7 | An honest copper ? | Well , not really . Donald plays the incompetent Officer 13 who cannot apprehend Tiny Tom , a wanted local criminal . In an effort to sneak himself into Tiny's dwelling Donald disguises himself as a baby , abandoned child of Tiny's pal trigger . Being the generous type ( ? ) Tiny takes him in and , amidst lots of suspi... |
564,107 | 102,816 | 439,576 | 7 | Incredibly silly but a good effort | You could criticize Freddy vs Ghostbusters for being amateurish , but that would be missing the point . Hank Braxton did a wonderful job with the material and pays loving tribute to both franchises . To be fair though , it's mainly a Ghostbusters film . The plot has Freddy tormenting the dreams of Denver kids again unt... |
564,147 | 102,816 | 27,994 | 7 | Pack your bags | Mickey and Donald are way behind in their rent money . Sheriff Pete ( so tough he spits nails into the wall and hammers them in with his fist ) wants his house back and decides to sell their furniture to make up for the debt . As soon as the mouse and duck start to pack up their meagre belongings all hell breaks loose ... |
564,843 | 102,816 | 78,346 | 7 | Miles better than the 2006 disaster ! | I had only ever seen the TV version of the original Superman movie until I bought the HD-DVD . So , as you can imagine , on TV it was in hideous pan and scan and with several scenes missing . In reality , I have never seen the ' full ' movie until now . And I have to admit , it's far , far superior to Bryan Singer's se... |
564,391 | 102,816 | 932,912 | 7 | Get it for Sandra | You know the problem with buying porno DVDs is that too often you are just buying it for one scene . I guess if you could pick and choose which scenes you want to watch instead of being stuck with a bunch of girls you're not interested in it would be better . Perhaps this is why downloading specific scenes off the inte... |
564,205 | 102,816 | 89,092 | 7 | A film that almost never was | I hate being nostalgic about movies , but I do remember a time when imagination was evident in every part of a production , when film posters were dynamic , visceral and iconic , when films looked like they were shot on film and not an HD camera with a sunset tint , when scores were done by orchestras instead of synthe... |
564,824 | 102,816 | 113,568 | 7 | What the hell is going on ? ? ? | Is a question I asked myself many times thru-out this movie . The plot lost me somewhere along the line when they mention a guy called the puppet-master . After that I hadn't a clue what to make of it . But that doesn't mean the film doesn't have some cool set pieces or that it's not worth watching . There is a cool mo... |
