564,845 | 102,816 | 39,695 | 7 | In vino veritas | Tom is given the task of guarding the fridge during the night by Mammy-Two-Shoes ( NOT re-dubbed by the PC brigade in the version I saw , would you believe ) , but as soon as he has started he is tricked by Jerry into falling into the basement , where he lands in a barrel of cider . Obviously , everyone has a barrel of... |
564,848 | 102,816 | 91,949 | 7 | Don't worry little lady , I'll fix their wagon . | Short Circuit is one of those films I rented as a kid back in the precious 80s when we got so many good family movies that just wouldn't see the light of day in these awful times . A Short Circuit made in 2007 would be mind-numbingly PC with bullet-time effects and a CGI Johnny voiced by a hip-hop ' artist ' . It's a g... |
564,067 | 102,816 | 345,344 | 7 | A Magic Twist | This is one of the best remembered Genesis games . Tho it's absolutely nothing special . It's almost totally like Streets of Rage with magic spells instead of special kung-fu moves and set in the dark ages . You can choose the big Conan lookalike Ax Battler , who uses earth magic . Tyris Flare , the She-Ra type amazon ... |
564,445 | 102,816 | 437,330 | 7 | Treading water . | Metal Slug 4 is certainly the weakest of the series so far with rehashed levels and same-old baddies . You get the option of a new playable character ( or at least it looks like someone new ) but what is the point of having four separate , playable characters when they all have the same ability ? It's not even like the... |
563,774 | 102,816 | 364,961 | 7 | London Bridge is Falling Down | Much like the Joel Schumacher film of 1993 starring Michael Douglas , this film is about an ordinary man with an ordinary job who is driven to insanity by the injustice and unfairness of his world . While both films teach us that no matter how solid it seems , everything will crumble under enough pressure there is no h... |
564,484 | 102,816 | 250,198 | 7 | Not exactly a Cancun booze-fest | Back when having a car was about as rare as three-legged ballet dancer Indy aims to impress everyone at school by turning up to the prom in a Bugatti race-car and put tormentor Butch to shame . His girlfriend's dad is Edward Stratemayer ( the guy who created the Hardy Boys , Nancy Drew and Tom Swift ) and promises to l... |
564,211 | 102,816 | 95,863 | 7 | An action sequel | In the tradition of other horror movie franchises , Phantasm takes the action route for this sequel . The horror and sci-fi are still there but there's more combat , stuff blowing-up and gore than there was before . I suppose it does keep things fresh but it does get a bit too tongue-in-cheek sometimes . Kinda like Evi... |
564,796 | 102,816 | 291,858 | 7 | Puts you right in the movie | There's a lot to like and a lot to dislike in this game . First of all it sticks very closely to the way Nakatomi Plaza looks and sounds so you feel like you really are there . The music is a lot like that in the movie and adds atmosphere . But there are only like 2 tracks ! The blood splatter effects are quite cool bu... |
563,908 | 102,816 | 39,796 | 7 | Life's a beach . | Tom is spending the day at the seaside with his girlfriend and is trying hard to impress her , as usual . But Jerry has stowed away inside the picnic basket and does everything he can to torment him while scoffing the food for himself . You might find this cartoon very , very similar to the more popular Muscle Beach To... |
563,816 | 102,816 | 36,294 | 7 | Oh , what to do . | If there is anyone out there who read the comic book ' Beezer ' as a kid then you will be familiar with ' The Knumbskulls ' . A strip about a guy with little dudes living in him that control what he does . This short uses the same device to make an important , kind of subtle , point to us . Some guy , starting out as a... |
563,985 | 102,816 | 113,855 | 7 | Anderson's best and definitely better than the sequel | Okay , let me just say that the plot ain't exactly up to much . It's just one fight scene after another but this film is miles ahead of other video game movies like Tomb Raider or House of the Dead . Video games will NEVER make classic films or even half-way decent movies . They CAN be entertaining in a no-brainer way ... |
563,941 | 102,816 | 115,641 | 7 | Don't mis-judge Mike Judge | I know a lot of you who have never seen Beavis and Butthead probably think very little of the show based on the low-brow nature of it ( I was one of them ) , but if you give this movie a chance you'll see that it's actually as well written and at times as , dare I say , subtle as King of the Hill . Beavis and Butthead ... |
564,379 | 102,816 | 339,160 | 7 | Fun to begin with , but gets boring | While it's loads of fun running around blasting people ( forget stealth ) and even more fun sniping from great distances , I found this game to get a bit boring about halfway through . There's just no variation on the gameplay between levels . Plus the game is basically a first person shooter , something I have grown V... |
563,837 | 102,816 | 415,156 | 7 | Certainly not sluggish | The action reaches new heights in this , the third game in the Metal Slug series . The action now takes place underwater , in the sky and out into space for those who have grown tired of gunning your way through streets and tunnels . The enemies you'll encounter now range from Yetis , giant lobsters , zombies and alien... |
564,616 | 102,816 | 211,443 | 7 | Weird , neither good nor terrible | As weird as Jason in space may seem , his fans finally got what they asked for - something new - when , after four false starts , this movie was finally made . Four hundred and fifty five years in the future , earth is dead and the recently defrosted J-Man finds himself aboard the Grendel , a field-trip vessel carrying... |
564,123 | 102,816 | 36,349 | 7 | More anachronistic mystery | Beginning with the usual explanation / apology as to why Holmes exists in the ' modern ' day , the film has the character travel to Washington to help solve where a British Secret Service agent hid a precious microfilm . It's not exactly Conan Doyle but it's very fast moving and sharply written . Unfortunately there ar... |
564,331 | 102,816 | 1,097,636 | 7 | Stay Cool , Scooby-Doo ! | Shaggy and Scooby get on the wrong plane when en route to meet the rest of the Mystery Inc . gang in Paris and end up lost in the Himalayas while an abdominal snowman is on the loose . There is the usual amount of suspects and motives but it's just fresh enough to prevent the plot from becoming tiresome . The animation... |
564,456 | 102,816 | 45,037 | 7 | Violent Night | The Walt Disney cartoons have always been the best at creating atmosphere . The Looney Tunes shorts really lacked in this regard , as their backgrounds were usually somewhat more generic . So obviously the Xmas-themed Disney cartoons are perfect to get you in the mood . Pluto's Christmas Tree also has an even more vibr... |
563,881 | 102,816 | 209,163 | 7 | A fast-paced , inventive adventure | Mummy Returns takes the characters and story from the first film and develops on them in a big , big way . The situations and set-pieces are wilder , the odds even bigger and character arcs more complex . Set 10 years after the first movie Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz have made a rich living out of plundering tombs ... |
564,457 | 102,816 | 37,929 | 7 | Bright Mice , Big Kitty | This cartoon has T & J living a quiet life out in a cosy country cottage . Tom is bored with country life and decides to leave for the Big Apple one night . Writing a goodbye note to Tom , he catches the next train to his new , exciting life . When he gets there he discovers that Manhattan is not so inviting to small r... |
564,462 | 102,816 | 37,928 | 7 | What's cookin ' ? | Mammy-Two-Shoes ( who was actually NOT dubbed in the version I watched , would you believe ) has set up a huge banquet for guests of some kind , who will be arriving soon . Tom sneaks into the dining room and calls his girlfriend Toots , inviting her over . Using Jerry as a reluctant butler Tom tries numerous times to ... |
564,259 | 102,816 | 36,231 | 7 | Never heard of this game . | Donald has snuck out of the barracks with the rest of the Privates . But he's the first to return and the first to meet the wrath of Sargent Pete , who is not impressed with his hijinks . A chase around the barracks follows as Donald hides from Pete and a possible thrashing . At one point Pete chucks Donald along a spi... |
564,643 | 102,816 | 88,944 | 7 | Big , dumb fun | This movie was made in 1985 , right after Terminator . I guess studios only had one way to sell Arnie in those days , as a bad-joke making killing machine . Although in this he gets to play a father to sweet , innocent Alyssa Milano ( ? ) . The movie is about John Matrix ( you heard me ) , a retired ( at 37 ) Commando ... |
564,219 | 102,816 | 490,812 | 7 | Lots of sex , nothing particularly special . | I only got this because of the incredibly cute Manami Yoshii , not because it stood from the rest of pornworld in any certain way . In this movie she is filmed gonzo style by a bunch of black guys driving around LA . They take her into a store and tease her with pornography . She acts all coy and shy but proves to be a... |
564,817 | 102,816 | 87,015 | 7 | Crafty . Hokey . Utterly Demented | Honestly , I wasn't expecting to like CHUD . I only got it out of curiosity as it was one of those horror movies I used to see in the video store as a kid . While it may be low-budget schlock it's still rather good . John Heard plays a photojournalist who is suspicious of multiple disappearings in his New York neighbor... |
564,414 | 102,816 | 62,123 | 7 | Spooky Pink | Caught in a rainstorm out in the desert ( that cat sure does get around doesn't he ) the Pink Panther takes shelter in an old hotel in a ghost town . But the ghouls ain't gonna make it an easy night for him and play loads of amusing pranks . Initially , Pinky is oblivious to the hauntings but when he sees the skeleton ... |
564,635 | 102,816 | 100,114 | 7 | Has some good scenes but it's not a good movie . | This film was originally called " Screwface " after it's villain . But basically it's another excuse for Seagal ( wearing the same suit he wore in Hard To Kill ) to go around killing everyone in his own handsome style . But this time he's killing Jamaican drug dealers because they've marked him for death . He teams up ... |
563,987 | 102,816 | 117,571 | 7 | Over-hyped but still worth a look | But once again actors in their mid-to-late twenties are playing teenagers and the effect of the film is totally ruined as they behave and act so unrealistic . While most people may consider this a cool movie just because of the scares and the over-hyped ' irony ' there is actually an intelligent plot with a pretty good... |
564,799 | 102,816 | 102,266 | 7 | Should have been a franchise | Back in 1991 there was still only one way that studios could sell Bruce Willis and that was as various incarnations of his Die Hard hero . Even Eddie ( Hudson ) Hawkins had similarities to John McClane . Joe Hallenback is a sort of mix between McClane and Snake Plissken . Watching him mumble and grunt thru various near... |
564,732 | 102,816 | 119,303 | 7 | Severely under-rated sequel . | Home Alone 3 has a lot of unfair criticism . I mean , how many of you would really have wanted a 16-year-old Mac Culkin doing the same-old same-old to Harry and Marv . Of course it was a better idea to do in a different direction and with John Hughes still producing and writing you know there's going to be a good amoun... |
564,763 | 102,816 | 1,194,566 | 7 | Still no consistent plot , but a fun adventure anyways | In this instalment Indy travels to Africa and meets up with President Roosevelt on a safari trip . Keen to hunt down a rare animal Indy helps the President out by going off on his own with a local tribes-boy and getting into the usual trouble . He's not happy with Teddy gunning down all the wildlife and urges him to li... |
564,754 | 102,816 | 484,439 | 7 | A nice Xmas Cartoon | That is for some reason tagged onto the reels for the very halloween-y Wallace and Gromitt's Curse of the Wear Rabbit . It would have made more sense for this film to be tagged onto something in December but hey-ho . I've not actually seen Madagascar , so I'm not immediately familiar with these characters . But I have ... |
564,577 | 102,816 | 426,436 | 7 | Limited appeal | Once you finish Def Jam : Fight for NY there's not much reason to go back to it . But as a VS game it's one of the best . I'm so sick and tired of utterly endless Tekken / MK / Soul Caliber / etc variations with effects and moves that are far too fantastical . Def Jam gives us real , bloody , bone-crunching action with... |
564,878 | 102,816 | 46,811 | 7 | Very Bunny | I was never too interested in the character of Rocky , he always seemed too one-dimensional and monotone . Of course this is intentional but I could never excited when a Rocky and Bugs cartoon came on . He was however great in Daffy's Golden Yeggs . This time around Bugs is taking it easy in the city as Rabbit Season (... |
563,782 | 102,816 | 185,371 | 7 | Very scary imagery | But the only thing scary about the plot is how much has been cut out to create a bare-bone running time of 93 minutes . I think that if I were really in The House on Haunted Hill I would go insane just like the ghosts . The film does create a heavy atmosphere of dread and pure evil . This is where the film succeeds bes... |
564,048 | 102,816 | 414,852 | 7 | Hyper-kinetic , if unfortunately slight , action flick | I'm not really convinced of this free-running thing . The only time I really see it on TV is when it's involved in some kind of baggy-pants , ' yoof ' skateboarding crap . I was intrigued to see how it would end up in an action movie . In recent years , Luc Besson has been making quite a name for himself in producing l... |
564,464 | 102,816 | 484,859 | 7 | Just too damn hard ! | I had a lot of fun playing Mario and Luigi : Partners in Time , but in the end it just proved to be too damn hard . Overall , there are more pros than cons but it's a close call . Pros : Very cute , quite funny , gameplay is easy to get to grips with , nice graphics . Cons : Too hard , loads of very , very long cut-sce... |
564,751 | 102,816 | 362,004 | 7 | ' Can you get pregnant when it goes in there ? ' | While not exactly a ' part 2 ' kind of sequel to Welcome to the Dollhouse , Palindromes is more than a film just set in the same universe . Several characters from Dollhouse are featured and many references are made to events in said previous movie . It's best to be familiar with Dollhouse first before watching Palindr... |
563,839 | 102,816 | 280,938 | 7 | Metal Slug 2 Redux | Those of you thinking that Metal Slug X is a brand new game are mistaken , I am afraid to say . It's actually just a little bit bigger and a little bit better version of Metal Slug 2 . It was a fine game on it's own , but now you have some slightly altered enemies and new graphics here and there . It's not a major impr... |
563,967 | 102,816 | 404,390 | 7 | A highly enjoyable , though very mixed-up , action film . | I'll admit I knew absolutely nothing of this film until I walked into the cinema . I saw no ads on TV or blurbs on the internet . And as far as I knew it was a remake of the movie with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines . Well , it's not ! It's actually a rather bizarre actioner . I'll get to that in a minute . First of a... |
564,137 | 102,816 | 78,856 | 7 | Go back . Go . . . beyond . | Since the original Poseidon Adventure raked in so much dough , Irwin Allen wanted to get a sequel off the ground right away . It would eventually take him 7 years to get it made and in that space of time it would go through many changes . To begin with , Beyond the Poseidon Adventure was to star Borgnine , Buttons and ... |
564,469 | 102,816 | 163,862 | 7 | Short , but entertaining | From the bulk of reviews on this site I gather most people don't realize that IMAX is about presentation and style rather than story and content . Shot on vertical 70mm film the reels in the projection booth take up a huge amount of space , thus the running time of IMAX movies tends to be kept to around 45-50 minutes .... |
564,867 | 102,816 | 42,613 | 7 | I ain't lion | Tom is listening to smooth jazz on the radio when the tunes are interrupted by an announcement claiming that a lion has escaped from the circus . Freaking out , Tom slams shut every window and makes a barricade in the corner where he arms himself with a rifle . Meanwhile , in the basement , Jerry finds the lion hiding ... |
563,960 | 102,816 | 31,243 | 7 | I want a Penguin | Though , let's face it , it would probably be not as cute as the one in this cartoon . For some reason a pal of Donalds sends him a penguin as a present out of the blue . Donald doesn't quite know what it is ( despite hunting them in The Polar Trappers cartoon ) or how to work it . He freaks when he sees that the pengu... |
563,965 | 102,816 | 473,297 | 7 | One of the most fun games on the Commodore 64 | Out around the same time as the first Tim Burton movie this Batman game wasn't about the Dark Knight but the Caped Crusader . It resembled the campy 60s show and the more colorful comic-books but it was still a lot of fun to play . The comic-book panel representation of the graphics was brilliant and the ' Dizzy ' styl... |
564,227 | 102,816 | 31,242 | 7 | Ch ch ch ah ah ah | No Jason Voorhees is not out to kill Donald but it IS Friday the 13th and Donald is a messenger-boy who must deliver a suspicious package to number 13 on 13th street . Inside the package is a bomb set to go off at midnight by a couple of unseen thugs . Who they are and why they want to blow up someone else is never kno... |
564,325 | 102,816 | 102,070 | 7 | Way ahead of it's time | Which is why many people never got it . They were probably expecting Die Hard or a hard action film but this is delightfully lighthearted and funny in a silly kind of way . No way is it meant to be taken seriously . Like a film where thieves time their robberies to songs is supposed to be real ? Eddie Hawkins ( Willis ... |
564,204 | 102,816 | 69,525 | 7 | You're not even running for office , Charlie Brown . | With the office of class President available in the coming elections Linus and Russell compete with each other in an effort to take over the school . Lucy threatens most of the students into voting for Linus while everyone else pitches in and helps . Even Snoopy and Woodstock help out with the picket signs . Snoopy als... |
564,055 | 102,816 | 96,256 | 7 | . . . we sleep . | Almost every John Carpenter flick is cult , or underrated , or a sleeper . It seems that audiences never truly " get " his films until long after their release . Only now are people warming slightly to Escape From L . A . They Live is no exception . It takes forever to get going and has hardly any dialogue . But rememb... |
564,330 | 102,816 | 817,910 | 7 | Better than Sword of Storms | The first animated Hellboy movie wasn't bad but I didn't like the Japanese mythology and I felt like Big Red should have had a more accessible story after the 2004 movie . Blood and Iron keeps the action in America ( with the exception of a few flashbacks ) and focuses on a haunted house . The BRPD are assigned to a ca... |
564,443 | 102,816 | 479,101 | 7 | An improvement over 4 , no doubt . | With newer enemies ( from generic to final bosses ) and more original level designs , Metal Slug 5 is a clear improvement over the previous entry in the series . But it's still a near impossible game to survive through with all of your stats intact . This time the levels include jungles , deserts and factories . It doe... |
564,737 | 102,816 | 38,152 | 7 | Tee ( hee ) | The cartoon begins with Tom in the middle of a VERY bad game of golf . Already about 86 over par he , for some reason , uses Jerry as a Tee . Not taking kindly to this Jerry turns the table and plays tricks on Tom . And that's pretty much it for the rest of the cartoon . This one has quite a thin premise but gets enoug... |
564,031 | 102,816 | 31,448 | 7 | Too short and slightly contracted but still worthwhile | Libraries and bookstores often put Hound of the Baskervilles in the horror section , well I never thought of the book to be exactly that . As Sherlock Holmes mysteries go , it was a long if nothing truly outstanding . There have been many movie interpretations over the years including Hammer horror versions , spoofs an... |
564,646 | 102,816 | 443,453 | 7 | You must see this movie-film . . . so my country can be free . | Borat is sent to America with producer Azamat Bagatov to brush with American culture and help Kazakhstan move forward in the 21st Century . While there , he goes renegade and tries to hunt down Pamela Anderson for a quick marriage ( with his ' wedding sack ' ) after his wife Oksana is killed by a bear while walking his... |
563,898 | 102,816 | 189,998 | 7 | Big movie on a small budget | I cannot believe that for a film made for 8 million dollars you get a million times the movie that Battlefield Earth was . Ironic ? No , just good film-making . If Willem Dafoe doesn't win an Oscar for this on the 25th of this month then there is no justice . The photography is outstanding . The music is creepy and atm... |
564,289 | 102,816 | 479,161 | 7 | A ton of fun , but very , very short | Having enjoyed Sonic Advance I was eager to get my hands on Sonic Rush . With brilliant graphics and the fastest gameplay yet in a Sonic game it sure does make for a great video-game experience . But there's just not enough of it and not much is made of the Nintendo DS potential outside of some slight touch-screen inte... |
564,792 | 102,816 | 144,084 | 7 | This is a COMEDY ! | When I first saw this in the cinema in April 2000 I hated it . But I watched it with the wrong attitude . I was judging American Psycho as a horror film . Which it certainly is NOT . It's about ( as the film constantly says ) a complete [ loser ] . He's no friends . Unable to communicate on any level with anyone of his... |
564,618 | 102,816 | 38,333 | 7 | A bit repetitive . | The cheapness of this cartoon is evident from the beginning . Much of the animation is clearly recycled . Some of Bugs Bunny's jokes fall flat too but there's still plenty of zany , wackiness surrounding him to make up for it . The story is this . Bug's baseball team ( made up of very old men ) is losing to a bunch of ... |
564,694 | 102,816 | 29,188 | 7 | One of the better Mickey shorts | In this short , Mickey is performing magic tricks on stage while Goofy does all the behind the scenes work , even though all of Mickey's tricks seem to be for real . But Donald , as usual , isn't convinced and causes a fuss with his loud sarcasm and shouting . Mickey quickly silences him by using his magic . Donald bec... |
564,392 | 102,816 | 298,052 | 7 | Very summery game . | SMS is definitely a gorgeous game to look at and a perfect game to get you in a summertime mood . The perfect blue skies , glorious sunshine and beautiful water effects make you just want to pass through the screen and into the Isle of Delfino in the game itself . Mario vacations in this sunny resort only to find it's ... |
564,378 | 102,816 | 387,301 | 7 | Cute DVD for Xmas | This 40-minute TV special tells the story of Rerun , Linus and Lucy's very cute younger brother ( I loved the scenes with him stuck on the back of his mother's bicycle ) . As the smallest child he feels left out of playing around with the other kids and wishes for a dog for Xmas . He starts a great friendship with Snoo... |
563,877 | 102,816 | 44,609 | 7 | Cats and Dogs | For anyone who foolishly believes that canines and felines hate each other then perhaps this cartoon will sway your mind . Never before have a kitty and doggy gotten on so well . It marks the first appearance of Pussyfoot and the curiously named Marc Anthony , a massive bulldog who goes through hell to protect cute lit... |
564,575 | 102,816 | 59,721 | 7 | Why can't men be more like Animals ? | A bit more like Looney Tunes than usual for old Pinky here . But that's to be expected when most of the Pink Panther cartoons are from Freleng and Depatie . This time round a Texan Big Game hunter is rounding up animals for his ' ark ' so he can just go about shooting fish in a barrel . Kind of takes the sport out of i... |
564,513 | 102,816 | 26,706 | 7 | Don't call these guys . | A hotel is burning and Mickey's Fire Brigade is answering the distress call . But Mickey , Goofy and Donald are not so great when it comes to fighting fire . In fact , everything that can go wrong between their ramshackle fire truck and worthless tactics does . Donald's fight with the fire gets a bit too personal , Mic... |
564,855 | 102,816 | 59,713 | 7 | Could have done without the canned laughter | In this cartoon Pinky is happily lazing about in a hammock when a snooty narrator interrupts and prompts him into doing some DIY instead guiltless relaxation . At first Pinky tries to make something out of wood but ends up sawing part of his house off . And then his tail . While trying to relax in bed he is put off by ... |
564,388 | 102,816 | 40,661 | 7 | No new cats ! | Jerry is tormenting Mammy-Two-Shoes ( dubbed to sound less ' offensive ' in the version that I watched and I suspect they have rewritten some of her dialogue too ) but Tom is too slow and too lazy to catch him . Annoyed with this , she introduces a new orange cat called Lightning and kicks Tom out of the house , along ... |
564,665 | 102,816 | 34,657 | 7 | Woof ! | Tom and Jerry are doing their usual chasing-around-the-house / cat tail in a mousetrap antics when Tom slams right into the sleeping big bulldog later to be known as Spike . Angery at being woken from his peaceful sleep , he chases after the cat and mouse , forcing them to team up to defeat him . Jerry sets the trap wh... |
563,846 | 102,816 | 29,161 | 7 | Who ya gonna call | Almost 55 years before Bill Murray and Co . cleaned up New York there was a different trio of ' fearless ' spook-fighters . They were Mickey , Donald and Goofy . Though none of their equipment is high-tech ( they carry nets and , bizarrely , axes ) they make up for it with phony bravery . A quartet of ghosts in a spook... |
564,437 | 102,816 | 38,494 | 7 | The last of the finest . | In their last on-screen outing as Holmes and Watson ( they still did radio plays with each other after this movie ) Rathbone and Bruce find themselves involved in a music box mystery . It seems that anyone who bought one of three matching boxes from a recent auction ends up either dead or with a nasty bump on the head ... |
564,032 | 102,816 | 118,928 | 7 | Enjoy the fireworks . | The ' old-fashioned ' disaster movie scenario enjoyed a brief resurgence in the latter half of the 90s . After the success of Twister and ID4 , films like Hard Rain , Titanic , Armageddon and Deep Impact followed in its wake . Like the two competing asteroid movies , Dante's Peak was in competition with the imaginative... |
563,907 | 102,816 | 958,860 | 7 | Seventy grand , I want it back . | Before studio execs and Mel Gibson got all uppity with Brian Helgeland , Payback was a darker , meaner film . But after an apparently poor test screening in 1997 ( honestly , what IS the point of these ? ) they put Payback on hold for over a year so Mel could do Lethal Weapon 4 before going back for some re-shoots , wi... |
564,162 | 102,816 | 495,727 | 7 | Highly addictive , but not enough of it . | It doesn't make much use of the touch-screen feature of the DS but the dual-screen fits perfect for the tall nature of a pinball table ( though there is annoying unseen space between them ) . I've never played any of the other Metroid games but I do know that the main character can turn into a ball . You play that ball... |
563,957 | 102,816 | 31,064 | 7 | Surely that should be Autograph Duck | Donald sneaks into a movie studio to get autographs from all his favorite stars in a big book . At first the stereotypical Irish cop chucks him out but Donald outwits him and seeks signatures from the likes of Mickey Rooney ( who is still alive ) , Greta Garbo , Shirely Temple ( who is also still alive ) and others . B... |
564,857 | 102,816 | 283,530 | 7 | Good luck finding a teacher like this in real life ! | I can't help feel bit jealous when ever I see Private Schools in movies . My high school was unfortunately full of teachers who didn't give half a goddamn about you . And it was / is one of the most respected ( read pretentious ) in the country . I never learned one single thing that was actually of use to me and I bel... |
564,057 | 102,816 | 117,060 | 7 | Not really THAT confusing | I first saw Mission : Impossible when I was 15 and I didn't have a Scooby what the hell was going on . And I considered myself to be smarter than the average bear . In retrospect , it's not that muddled . In comparison to the very-dumbed down sequel it stands out as a better example of film-making made by a director wh... |
564,518 | 102,816 | 120,910 | 7 | Pretty good , but I wish it was longer . | Top quality animation and a sense of humour make this sequel / add-on a formidable animated movie in its own right . The running time of 74 minutes is a bit of a let-down . I would have liked to have seen more pieces and more imagination . And be warned , The Sorcerer's Apprentice remains . As this was the original's O... |
564,035 | 102,816 | 40,611 | 7 | Cleanliness is next to godliness | Mammy-Two-Shoes ( not dubbed by the PC-brigade in the version I saw ) has just finished cleaning the whole house when Tom bursts in the door , covered in muck , chasing Jerry . She freaks and tells him to keep the house spic and span until she gets back from the store . This he has no problem doing , but Jerry , for no... |
564,877 | 102,816 | 48,320 | 7 | Who ? | Mac and Tosh ? The Goofy Gophers ? Never heard of them . And I bet Walt Disney cried plagiarism the day this came out . And I don't blame him if he did as they are a total rip-off of Chip and Dale . They are kinda funny funny though . Mac and Tosh both have English accents and are very well spoken . When lumberjacks sh... |
564,461 | 102,816 | 99,785 | 7 | Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal ! | In the Eighties , John Hughes churned out a handful of movies and scored many , many hits . Quite rightly , as most of them were seriously funny - I'm DEFINITELY not referring to Curly Sue , so relax ! In one particular scene from Uncle Buck , Macaulay Culkin interrogates a babysitter through the letterbox to make sure... |
564,553 | 102,816 | 34,806 | 7 | I never knew corn was so . . . important | This animated short was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject . Quite right as I found it very informative . It details the history of corn . Yes , a strange subject indeed , but apparently without the Native American ' invention ' of corn on the cob , we'd have precious little of the produc... |
564,569 | 102,816 | 40,514 | 7 | Spare some change ? | A homeless Sylvester bullies a small orange cat and kicks him out of his garbage can territory . But the night grows colder and Sylvester knocks on the door of a random house for sanctuary . Elmer Fudd answers and takes him in . But seconds later the orange kitty is back and Elmer takes him in too . He'd like to keep t... |
564,450 | 102,816 | 357,139 | 7 | One of the better of the recent Scoobys | I wasn't sure if taking the gang out of their usual locale of haunted mansions and creepy amusement parks and sending them to Australia was a good idea . While it is still a cool movie it would have worked just as well in Death Valley than in the Outback . The villain this time is a Vampire called Yahoo-Yahweh , a bit ... |
564,066 | 102,816 | 26,872 | 7 | Pluto Goes To Hell | This cartoon sees Pluto dream of a cat-controlled hell . After chasing a cute little kitten about the house and throwing mud everywhere , Mickey tells Pluto off and gives him some kind of Puritan Christian warning of hell and damnation . Once fallen asleep in front of the fire , Pluto's vision of cat-run hell and all t... |
564,334 | 102,816 | 1,117,563 | 7 | Loads of potential , mostly squandered | Batman : Gotham Knight is a lot like The Animatrix in that it bridges two movies with colorful and varied animation and innovative stories . Or at least that's what it should have been . While The Animatrix was fresh and exciting and superior to the live-action films Batman : Gotham Knight just seems to plod around fam... |
564,413 | 102,816 | 495,772 | 7 | Pretty good , but needs more Jenna ! | The movie starts of with Jenna Brooks and Katana , both wearing very sexy and revealing outfits , skating around a neighborhood . They decide to go to a nearby garage for something to do . And when they get there , well . . . there's a big gangbang . Both Jenna and Katana are incredibly hot and both get some serious ba... |
563,942 | 102,816 | 428,803 | 7 | Heartwarming / Heartbreaking | And oh so cute ! Emporer Penguins achieve many miracles every year in their quest for reproduction . How exactly they know how to do all this is incredible . First they all leap out of the ocean and begin to march , single file , for over 70 miles , to their preferred breeding ground . They look really cute as they do ... |
564,099 | 102,816 | 259,685 | 7 | Lighthearted , silly fun | I really wasn't expecting much from a third in the series even tho Tremors 2 added so much more imagination . So I was pleasantly surprised when this turned out to be so much fun . It begins with a rather cool opening scene in which Burt Gummer ( still in Mexico ) takes out zillions of Shriekers with a massive machine-... |
564,846 | 102,816 | 68,638 | 7 | Pulp Fiction at its most authentic . | I'm not so familiar with Sam Peckinpah's career as I have only seen this and The Osterman Weekend ( which I hated ) but you can tell from his style that he has certainly influenced a lot of modern day directors . The perfect widescreen photography , quick editing ( but not a blur , I should add ) and dramatic use of sl... |
564,753 | 102,816 | 24,601 | 7 | Tee hee | Stan and Ollie are part of a Freemason's lodge and take an oath to go to their annual convention in Chicago . No one has ever broken this oath in the zillion year history of the Sons of the Desert Lodge so they'd better now screw up . Only Stan and Ollie are both dominated by their wives who won't allow them to do anyt... |
564,446 | 102,816 | 285,627 | 7 | Deadpan cynicism | I totally loved this show . It's full of crazy characters ( Daria's dad in particular ) and hilarious stereotypes ( who sadly reoccur with frightening frequency in real life ) . Plus it's the second show to be spun-off from Beavis and Butthead ( King of the Hill being the first ) . It's weird to think of them all exist... |
564,374 | 102,816 | 139,414 | 7 | Mindless fun | Take away the beginning and end credits and what you are left with is a 75-minute long movie that you'll never watch more than once if you buy the DVD ( like me ) but will still have a fun time watching . Steve Miner returns to the tranquil lakeside settings he captured so well in the Friday the 13th movies and gives u... |
564,435 | 102,816 | 38,740 | 7 | Who has custard pies anyway ? | Jerry wakes from a nightmare by a knock at the door only to discover he's been made a surrogate daddy to a baby mouse called Tuffy . The attached note claims that Tuffy loves milk and Jerry must find a way to get him some . Tom has a big bowl full of it , but they'd only be asking for trouble if they were to go steal .... |
564,000 | 102,816 | 257,548 | 7 | Two great games , one crap game | Die Hard Trilogy was one of the first games I ever got for my PC many years ago . And it's still fun to play thanks to the fast and furious gameplay , well of the first 2 games anyway . The third was awful . Die Hard is a third-shooter set in the Nakatomi Plaza in LA's Century City . The set design is impressively simi... |
563,961 | 102,816 | 356,994 | 7 | Mickey in Living Color | For the REAL first time . This short was made for the Academy Awards banquet back in 1932 , before politics and TV ratings ruined the prestigious awards AND the ' ceremony ' . Funny thing is , Mickey appears wearing green shorts instead of his usual red and Pluto is grey . The short itself is nothing more than a walkin... |
564,074 | 102,816 | 34,368 | 7 | Morbidly Obese Elmer | Ew ! Elmer Fudd's appearance in this short is quite disgusting and distracting . He's so fat with a horrible red nose that it's not nice to look at . One of those awful human-exaggerations that were thankfully infrequent in Looney Tunes cartoons . Here he shows up a Jellystone park for a few days camping . Bugs natural... |
563,922 | 102,816 | 82,340 | 7 | SNAKE RULES | He's the best anti-hero in the history of cinema and ALWAYS has the last laugh . He just doesn't care . All Americans wish they could feel this way but Snake . . . he's just conscience free . The only person he looks out for or cares about is himself . And he's an ex-soldier too . The action scenes in this film are few... |
564,144 | 102,816 | 69,113 | 7 | Sometimes , if you wanna go up , you have to go down . | It may not seem like anything particularly new these days , especially after the revival of disaster films in the late 90s . But in 1972 , The Poseidon Adventure was a somewhat groundbreaking film . But we're used to a group of survivors fighting against floods , earthquakes , storms , sinking vessels , zombies , volca... |
563,866 | 102,816 | 385,690 | 7 | A rather scatter-shot approach to comedy but still very funny | This movie has a lot of fans , as expected . But there's a lot of people comparing it to the South Park Movie and I feel it's a fair comparison . Does it match up to Bigger , Longer and Uncut ? No . For the simple reason that the South Park movie had a plot , a story and a point to make . It was a movie that spoke loud... |
564,408 | 102,816 | 103,772 | 7 | Well remembered , but not a classic | At the time , Basic Instinct was considered shocking and new . In retrospect , in a world where much harder pornography is so commonplace , it's not got much sex appeal going for it . What I do like is the OTT game of cat and mouse between Stone and Douglas . Catherine Tramell is a writer of sleazy novels who lives out... |
564,407 | 102,816 | 430,912 | 7 | A rehash , but an entertaining rehash | A sequel that comes traipsing in 14 years after the original can be accused of cashing-in . But you shouldn't judge a film until you've seen it right ? Yes , I know I am being a total hypocrite here . And if Basic Instinct 2 were to be accepted as a potentially good movie then perhaps they should have done it back in t... |
