564,366 | 102,816 | 79,714 | 8 | Very odd , but very cool . | As a successful director of kid's films , Don Coscarelli felt like moving into horror . But he was out of ideas so he shut himself in a mountain cabin for a few weeks and dreamt up Phantasm . God only knows what he was smoking or drinking in order to conjure up a story like this . I've been watching it for over six yea... |
564,145 | 102,816 | 381,061 | 8 | A Royale without cheese . | CR is a major step-up from the flamboyant Die Another Day . Obnoxious 50-something runt Pierce Brosnan has been replaced by a young Daniel Craig , there is no Q , no campy gadgets , no silly naked women silhouettes in the opening credits , no world-dominating super-colossus villains , no Miss Funnyfanny ( or whatever )... |
564,627 | 102,816 | 112,281 | 8 | BumbleBee Tuna | If there was to be just one pop-culture character with ' franchise ' written all over it , it would be Ace Ventura . After the sleeper hit that was the original , Ace is shipped off to Africa , via Tibet , to find the missing sacred animal of the peaceful Wachati tribe . It is supposed to be a wedding gift to the savag... |
563,822 | 102,816 | 36,718 | 8 | Heh heh | Easily one of the worst soldiers the Army has ever seen ( judging by his previous cartoon hijinks ) , Donald is dropped out of an airplane and right into enemy territory . That's somewhere in the Japan jungle actually . The air is ripe for typical wartime xenophobia as things go wrong for poor old ducky right from the ... |
564,515 | 102,816 | 26,816 | 8 | Very Xmas-y | This cartoon probably works best around the holiday season . It's very busy animation indeed as most of the Disney favorites go ice skating on a frozen river ( ! ) . Mickey impresses Minnie with his skating acrobatics , Goofy ( dressed in awful hillbilly gear ) tries to fish using tobacco instead of worms and Donald to... |
564,640 | 102,816 | 185,937 | 8 | Too over-hyped , judge it on it's own level | This film has been harshly judged . It is a low-budget film school experimentation and I am going to review it with that in mind . Artisan really did hype this film up a lot and people judged it like they would any other movie . We all know the plot . 3 campers get lost in the woods while making a documentary about the... |
564,679 | 102,816 | 377,091 | 8 | Beautifully shot and brilliantly acted tragedy | Teen life isn't The OC . There's always something deeper occasionally sinister beneath the surface of seemingly ordinary kids . Some lash out , some keep it in and let it eat them alive . George is a fat kid with learning difficulties who eats alone in the cafeteria and aggressively bullies every other kid around him ,... |
564,508 | 102,816 | 377,092 | 8 | I liked it at first , but I do not like Lohan at all anymore . | I knew nothing of this movie before I saw it . In fact I only went to see because I have a crush on Lindsay Lohan and I really liked her in Freaky Friday . So it was quite a payoff when it turned out to be quite fun film and nothing like the dreadful teen comedies we've suffered too much off in the past five years ( ma... |
564,579 | 102,816 | 38,586 | 8 | Not so scary . | I love the big hairy monster guy . He might not have any arms but you just want to hug him , even tho he won't hug back . The Doctor guy who owns him however , HE is scary . With a grotesquely over-sized head and massive eyes he makes Stewie Griffin from Family Guy look normal . There's always some insane reason for Bu... |
564,604 | 102,816 | 99,399 | 8 | Kids playing action movie as an actual film . | An unfortunate , misjudged and misunderstood film that could have been something great but only clings to the bottom-rung of respectability . For a start , it has an unashamedly awful and truly despicable villain who oozes evil from every stinking orifice . When eccentric bad guys are not hammy , they are Ramon Cota ( ... |
564,716 | 102,816 | 310,775 | 8 | Grips you like a vice . Hits you like a ton of bricks . | Before you watch this film , just be aware that you're not going to walk away from it with a big smile on your face . More like you'll want to slit your wrists . To say that Mr . Vengeance is a powerful , gut-wrenching nightmare is like saying that DaVinci merely dabbled in art . The plot is so simple yet so complex . ... |
564,440 | 102,816 | 928,051 | 8 | Don't bother with the arcade versions now . | The Metal Slug arcade machines are notorious for being unbelievably hard . It's not uncommon to find yourself feeding well over $10 into a machine just to finish the game . Multiply that by 7 and you might come close to even $100 if you are playing with a partner . Instead , invest your dough in the Metal Slug Antholog... |
563,842 | 102,816 | 434,188 | 8 | Ouch ! | When asked to name something hard one might suggest Mr . T or the Incredible Hulk . What you don't know is that there is nothing harder on this Earth than the video game Metal Slug . It is honestly one of the most punishing arcade experiences of my life . Obviously it's designed to be this way since it prompts the play... |
563,841 | 102,816 | 434,189 | 8 | Action-packed ! | This first sequel in the Metal Slug series is every bit as furious and chaotic as the original . This time you can play as one of four characters across the usual variety of wonderfully detail and humorous landscapes as you blast seven shades of excrement out of enemy commandos . There are explosions and laughs galore ... |
564,662 | 102,816 | 36,547 | 8 | An perfect game of Cat and Mouse | In this Oscar-winning cartoon ( a fact that they're modest enough to mention in the opening credits ) Tom and Jerry wage war on each other in the basement of a house . Using household objects as weapons in a variety of imaginative ways , they advance and retreat on each other , desperate to win their mini-conflict . I ... |
564,187 | 102,816 | 96,895 | 8 | Dark and Doomy | Tim Burton has a good eye . The Batman series from the 1960s is how people tended to think of Batman pre-1989 but this engraved the words ' dark , sinister and Gothic ' in the minds of audiences . The original material is respected and the characters are deep instead of campy . Michael Keaton is the best Bruce Wayne . ... |
564,800 | 102,816 | 242,445 | 8 | Seagal proved he still had it , then flunked out again | A lot of you may consider Steven Seagal's non-presence for the past 4 years a blessing ( he last appeared in 1997's Fire Down Below , which was a No . 1 hit but still weak movie ) but I think that audiences are just too dismissive of him and that he needs to be given another chance . They waited for him to slip up and ... |
564,434 | 102,816 | 92,948 | 8 | What have you done for me LATELY ? ? ? | There was once a day when everything Eddie Murphy said and did was hee-larious . Back in 1987 , at the height of his powers , Eddie released a movie version of his stand-up act Raw , a sort of follow-up to 1983's Delirious . Film at New York's Felt Room , Eddie discusses Mr T , Bill Cosby , Richard Pryor ( doing faultl... |
564,681 | 102,816 | 456,118 | 8 | A well above average porno DV | This DVD starts off with the gorgeous Michelle Banks . She enters a ( totally deserted ) restaurant and awaits her boyfriend . As she does so she imagines what it would be like to get a double-penetration from the 2 waiters . This fantasy lasts for about 25 minutes . Next up is Alicia Rhodes , her house is being decora... |
564,093 | 102,816 | 77,766 | 8 | A BETTER THAN AVERAGE SEQUEL | This and the first are the OFFICIAL Jaws movies in my opinion . Before it got REALLY bad . The shark is just as scary as it was before and it's good to have storylines from the first film present here . Trust me , it's not as bad as REVENGE . |
564,314 | 102,816 | 101,452 | 8 | A wild , imaginative and eccentric fantasy | Sequels rarely improve on the originals . Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey is bursting at the seams with wacky humor , craziness and invention . Yes , the first was a brilliant ride too but it doesn't live up to this . Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are just great in their dual roles as good Bill and Ted and evil Bill and Te... |
564,658 | 102,816 | 82,198 | 8 | Powerhouse of Might and Magic ! | In recent years so very few sword-and-sorcery movies have been made . One struggles to think of anything in between Conan The Destroyer and Gladiator . They are difficult to pull off and even harder to involve the audience with an obviously unidentifiable world . It may not be bestowed with Oscars , but Conan The Barba... |
564,240 | 102,816 | 59,590 | 8 | Spare change | Sitting on a park bench alone and homeless ( awww . . . he can stay with me any day ) the Pink Panther befriends a drunk man on his way back to his nagging wife . Luckily the drunkard has a fondness for Pink Panthers and offers Pinky a place to stay . As long as his wife doesn't find out . So you can imagine , every mo... |
564,201 | 102,816 | 1,031,211 | 9 | Breathtakingly realistic | I'm not such a big fan of all these flight sim games and was a bit weary of tackling Ace Combat 6 , but I needn't worry . It's not really about getting all of the technical controls accurate as much as it's about ACTION ! As the first of the Ace Combat games to be released on a next-gen console , Atari have certainly g... |
563,909 | 102,816 | 112,641 | 9 | Is it just me . . . | . . . or is this the darkest black comedy ever made ? I just find Casino so amusing and funny that I hardly even notice the grim violence and harrowing drama . I also think that Casino is far , far superior to the over-rated Goodfellas . Even though it's longer , it passes in a breeze . Casino is just so colorful , mul... |
564,654 | 102,816 | 856,805 | 9 | The older the fiddle , the sweeter the tune . | Arsch-Grotten starts off with a group of 4 mature women ( 50 plus ) sitting around in a mansion-type house playing bridge or something . There is a porn shoot going in one of the rooms and Eve Delage leaves the game for a moment to check up on it . When she comes back the rest of them go up , one by one , to have a pee... |
564,287 | 102,816 | 348,034 | 9 | Seems to have been forgotten by most people | When you mention Christmas specials one would normally think of Charlie Brown , The Smurfs , He-Man / She-Ra or any other franchise that ' saves Christmas ' . No one really remembers that the Simpsons began with their very own Christmas special . Already a hit as an animated short series on the Tracey Ullman show , The... |
564,232 | 102,816 | 30,196 | 9 | Happy campers | In this cartoon Donald is taking his nephews ( no a helluva lot more well-behaved ) on a camping trip in the wilderness . Donald is their leader and well . . . you can pretty much guess that every time he tries to show off to them that disaster will promptly follow . Be it chopping down a tree , pitching a tent or fend... |
563,814 | 102,816 | 100,802 | 9 | One of Verhoeven's best movies , no doubt . | Arnie is Doug Quaid , a simple construction worker who is bored with his uneventful life and wishes to be more and to do something meaningful . He's fascinated with going to Mars and meeting the mysterious woman of his dreams ( that would be Melina ) despite the civil war brewing withing the colonies . His wife Lori ( ... |
564,745 | 102,816 | 366,777 | 9 | The first Danny Boyle Film I have liked | Shoot me if you want but I never much fancied Shallow Grave , Trainspotting , A Life Less Ordinary or The Beach . And I thought that 28 Days Later was awful . Danny Boyle's innovative style always seemed out of place or incongruous with the kind of material he worked with ( probably the reason why some narrow-minded pe... |
564,491 | 102,816 | 364,569 | 9 | An absolutely intriguing mystery | I was often recommended Oldboy by loads of people but kept putting it off for some reason . Well , I'm glad I just decided to go ' what the hell ' because it IS actually really , really good . Even though the plot has been outlined a zillion times in other reviews , I will simply say that some seemingly random dude is ... |
563,990 | 102,816 | 87,363 | 9 | A classic film | I first saw this film when I was 5 and I am ashamed to say that it scared me . It's just a tad too violent and scary for younger children but it's great family entertainment and there are dozens of in-jokes for film-buffs to spot . Not only is Gremlins a very original and inventive film the animatronic effects are ahea... |
563,937 | 102,816 | 456,912 | 9 | Punished for doing the right thing | Sun-Woo is the manager of sleek modern restaurant in uptown Seoul called La Dolce Vita , but that's not his only employment . He is also the errand-boy of underworld Kingpin Mr Kang . A job he fulfils ruthlessly and efficiently , until the day Mr Kang takes off for a week , leaving Sun-Woo to mind his much younger girl... |
564,715 | 102,816 | 82,971 | 9 | Will stand the test of time forever . | I've seen Raiders of the Lost Ark numerous times on TV , DVD and big screen . My local theatre had a special showing last night and the 400-seat screen completely sold out ( as Indy films always do ) . Luckily for me and my pal , we got the last 2 tickets available ! I can't think of many films that still sell-out 25 y... |
564,094 | 102,816 | 78,748 | 9 | Never has the contrast been clearer | I'm a fan of the old Ridley Scott , which was ironically the young Ridley Scott . Back in his youth he made some great films and Alien is one of his crowning achievements . But let's ignore the film for just a second . You see the Scott Brothers ( Ridley and Tony ) had a highly visual sense of film-making that used the... |
564,027 | 102,816 | 418,279 | 9 | Best film of Summer 2007 . | Despite the fact that , in my opinion , Michael Bay has directed two of the worst films of all time ( that would be Pearl Harbor and Bad Boys II ) I knew , from the beginning that his glossy , high-key style of film-making would be PERFECT for a live-action Transformers movie . Since The Rock in 1996 , all of Bay's fil... |
564,871 | 102,816 | 232,531 | 9 | Addictive and clever , easier too . | I loved the first RE game on the Gamecube . The graphics , the sound , the ambiance were all top-notch . Never before ( with the exceptions of the Myst games on the PC ) had I been so totally immersed in the atmosphere of a video game before . RE was thrilling and frightening . All of that returns in Resident Evil Zero... |
564,372 | 102,816 | 248,048 | 9 | Cool Game and Highly Addictive | I remember I once played this game for 5 hours straight and I still could not get past the first level . But for me , most of the time , I'm having so much fun killing people and smashing up cars that I don't care about the missions . It's also most fun to defect from your current gang and just kill ' em all off . This... |
564,373 | 102,816 | 255,202 | 9 | Highly addictive once more . . . | . . . but still not much of an improvement . The gameplay is still EXACTLY the same and the missions are not too dissimilar either . But the cool soundtrack is still there and those radio DJs are funny as hell . Jill Tasker's news updates are awesome and there are some brilliant songs too . The graphics have improved t... |
563,933 | 102,816 | 27,538 | 9 | Donald's first disaster outing . | As we all know , whatever Donald Duck sets out doing at the start of any cartoon , by the end everything in the vicinity , be it house , car , shop , work , will be destroyed and Donald will be left fuming . Here , Donald is working on plumbing in his basement , using a magnet to pick up objects from the floor . Pluto ... |
563,923 | 102,816 | 83,972 | 9 | A review of the 3-D theatrical version | Last night , the Cameo Cinema in Edinburgh , screened an ultra-rare showing of Friday the 13th Part 3 in all it's gore-splattered 3D glory . The cinema was packed , the screening sold out and the audience absolutely loved it . Every scare worked , the 3D effects leaped right off the screen and lovingly poked us in the ... |
564,210 | 102,816 | 489,229 | 9 | Action-packed ! | Remember the arcades back in the ' good old days ' of video-gaming ? Before polygons and 3D took over there was a time when you could walk into an arcade that was thick with the smell of sweat as dozens of teenagers hammered away furiously at the buttons of countless machines . You'd probably have to queue-up to play y... |
564,206 | 102,816 | 483,496 | 10 | Great documentary | Everything you ever wanted to know about Phantasm is right here in this 97-minute feature with interviews from Don Coscarelli , producer Paul Pepperman , Angus Scrimm , Reggie Bannister , Michael Baldwin and Bill Thornbury . The inspirations , the studio politics , the filming , the SFX , the brilliant score and the ch... |
564,165 | 102,816 | 483,497 | 10 | A phun and phact-philled tour . | Yes , I know my substituting F for PH is getting old . But allow me some bad humor . 28 years after the first Phantasm movie was made , nothing much has changed in the fictional small town where the Tall Man started pillaging graves . Reggie Bannister hosts the feature and takes us to the house where Mike and Jodie liv... |
564,050 | 102,816 | 872,115 | 10 | Best Mario Kart game | As much as I like Mario Kart DS , this one is simply so much better . I came across this game in an arcade when I was on holiday and discovered that while it's so much like Mario Kart DS it's also much bigger and better . I do love racing games in the arcade , with the steering wheel and pedals and seat and all . It st... |
564,767 | 102,816 | 462,499 | 10 | Every new town just seems to bring you down | I'll get my one and only gripe out of the way first . I don't like the title . Rambo 4 or John Rambo would have been far more appropriate but I will call the film Fourth Blood in this review to avoid confusion between the characters name and the film title . For the past 20 years John Rambo has remained in Thailand sin... |
563,801 | 102,816 | 93,220 | 10 | Great Sequel | This non-related sequel is so sweet-natured , so tame and family orientated that to assume otherwise is completely ludicrous . There is nothing in this movie that could possibly rate it above a PG , max . I wouldn't even have reservations letting younger children watch House 2 . A new house has a 20-something yuppie ca... |
564,261 | 102,816 | 295,274 | 10 | Down and out cat . | We all know how much Garfield hates going to the vet . So after wrecking Jon's house the fat cat is dragged , kicking and screaming , into the car . But even on the way there Garfield can't sit a peace . Until he falls out of the window and into the busy street . He quickly learns that freedom from Jon and life on the ... |
564,507 | 102,816 | 325,258 | 10 | This is knucking futs ! | David Spade is one of my fave SNL stars and he's made better movies than the rest of his old pals ( It's Pat , Coneheads and Master of Disguise are among the worst films ever made ) . I especially liked him as the voice of Kuzko in the Emperor's New Groove . Here he plays Dickie Roberts : ( former ) Child Star , a kid ... |
564,382 | 102,816 | 233,365 | 10 | One of Ben's best | As a fan of Ben Dover and his terrible jokes I am annoyed at the dwindling quality of his recent DVDs . Booty Bandit was one of the last good one's he did . The first scene features 19 year old Layla-Jade , freshly back from America , introducing a porn débutante to Ben . Her name is Emma and she has never had good sex... |
563,858 | 102,816 | 281,686 | 10 | All is well | Who would have thought it ? Don Coscarelli , the man who wrote and directed Phantasm a long , long time ago comes back out of nowhere , after spending his entire career in the dregs , with something like this . A film that is more an exploration of regret , fading dignity and growing old than it is about a soul-sucking... |
564,619 | 102,816 | 43,953 | 10 | DUCK SEASON ! FIRE ! | In the first of a series of three , Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny argue over which one of them should be hunted and shot by the ever-gullible Elmer Fudd . Bugs is too smart to be outwitted by the reactionary and hyperactive Daffy . He keeps it cool and collected as Daffy screams his head off never knowing what he really IS... |

Annoyed at losing his way Bugs repeatedly tries to ask for directions and ends up get smashed out of the stadium him... |
563,820 | 102,816 | 238,924 | 10 | Totally great | The Dangerous Lives of Alter Boys is kind of like a cross between The Virgin Suicides and Stand By Me . Set in the 70's ( featuring many cool 70's haircuts ) in small town Georgia , the story focuses on Francis , a 14-year-old dreamer and troublemaker . He and his pals , Tim , Wade , and Joey cope with life under the o... |
564,343 | 102,816 | 453,502 | 10 | One of the best plat-formers for the Genesis | I was a huge fan of James Pond II : Robocod and I loved the theme tune . I remember getting it for Xmas in 1992 and thinking it was so cool . So when this third one came out in 1993 I was first in line to get a copy . I sure do miss the days of the traditional plat-former . There's too much complication and eye-candy t... |
563,862 | 102,816 | 271,027 | 10 | Terrific Modern Action Movie | Kiss of the Dragon is a hyperactive martial arts movie with a heavy European feel . After Jet Li's fans were left disappointed with the fake , CGI-enhanced fighting in Romeo Must Die he decided to go back to practical , hand-to-hand combat with literally no strings attached . KOTD is the perfect excuse for action , wit... |
564,164 | 102,816 | 177,842 | 10 | Unprocessed fishsticks ! | Not wishing to suffer a night of boring stories and horrid family activities with Patty and Selma , Homer scours the house for a hiding place and has to settle for a spot behind the bookcase after Bart , Lisa and the pets take the better ones . But behind the bookcase is the doorway to another dimension , a place where... |
564,400 | 102,816 | 101,134 | 10 | The best of early 90s experimental animation . | Liquid Television was a series shown on MTV in which animators , directors and producers could feature their own creations and characters in wildly different forms and genres . Some could be live-action , some were computer CGI ( a pioneering technique at the time ) or hand-drawn , some were done with puppets and some ... |
564,583 | 102,816 | 90,094 | 10 | Good stuff | As a rather unsubtle allegory of mindless consumerism The Stuff works quite well . It'd be easy to dismiss it as an 80's shlockfest but there is some brains behind it and Larry Cohen ( the very man who wrote Maniac Cop , Phone Booth and Cellular ) keeps the film fun until the last frame . It's a cool story too . A weir... |
563,972 | 102,816 | 462,388 | 10 | And on that festive bombshell . . . | Quite how Alan Partridge managed to wangle the BBC into giving him his own Xmas special after murdering Forbes McAllister in his last TV appearance is a mystery . But since disaster clings to his heels and everything he touches becomes a shambles he is always worth watching to see his ever-increasing denial of the trou... |
564,708 | 102,816 | 118,715 | 10 | You see what happens , Larry ? | It's hard to pick out one line of dialogue in particular for two reasons . One-almost everything said in this film is downright hilarious . And Two-the F word is spoken 281 times so there's not many sentences that don't contain it . 144 sentences also end in ' man ' . Jeff ' The Dude ' Lebowski is a man living a minima... |
564,100 | 102,816 | 268,583 | 10 | Impossible | This game was probably one of the most violent and bloody I have ever played . Even by modern standards . But it was absolutely impossible to finish . And I played it with the infinite lives cheat too and it still took hours and hours . The premise of the game came from the Dark Horse comics of the same name in which R... |
563,876 | 102,816 | 45,697 | 10 | Utter genius | There's no flies on Sam Sheepdog , don't even bother trying to fool him because he can see through ALL your little tricks . Wile E . Coyote , taking a break from trying to catch that pesky Roadrunner , spies his long suspended dinner in a flock of sheep grazing happily in a field . Unfortunately for him , Sam has just ... |
564,096 | 102,816 | 45,708 | 10 | Tormented Daffy | Poor old Daffy . He never gets his way . And in this 7-minute short he never even gets his story started it's just Daffy being tormented and riled up all the way through . Can't this Duck ever get that one moment of glory he's been after all these years ? It begins as some sort of Robin Hood type story but the animator... |
564,352 | 102,816 | 83,505 | 10 | Absolute genius classic ! | There was never anything quite like The Young Ones and there never will be . It's almost impossible to copy this outrageously bizarre and far-fetched TV show anyway . It's even impossible to exaggerate how crazy it was . Do I have to say I totally love it ? each episode is crammed full of eternally quotable dialogue , ... |
564,182 | 102,816 | 374,900 | 10 | You will DIE laughing at this film | Napoleon Dynamite was a total surprise . For me it just came out of nowhere and I only went to see it because of the whacky title . How was I supposed to know I was about to see one of the funniest movies ever . But it's not HAHA funny . Or funny STRANGE . It's a weird kind of bizarre humor that will only appeal to tho... |
564,818 | 102,816 | 332,375 | 10 | Meaner Girls | Saved is very funny satire / comedy-drama on whacked-out Christian fundamentalists . Basically at a Christian High-School ( which is about as narrow-minded , hypocritical and contradicting as my own was ) there is this clique of girls called the ' Christian Jewels ' , which are not to dissimilar from ' The Plastics ' i... |

Those are the headlines ! Now fact me till I fart ! I was 13 when this life-changing show came on TV . Reaching a small audience on BBC2 at night , The Day Today was a parody ... |
564,875 | 102,816 | 307,987 | 10 | Suffocatingly Hilarious | For far too long we've been denied a decent Xmas movie , one that can become an annual tradition . There are movies like Christmas Vacation , Scrooged and Home Alones 1 and 2 that you have to watch every year . Bad Santa is now , definitely one of those movies .

564,367 | 102,816 | 83,944 | 10 | Total classic | Everything about this movie rocks . From Goldsmith's rousing score to Stallone's perfect performance . Yes , you heard me . Stallone does act in this movie . I feel so sorry for Rambo . People are real nasty to him . Especially the deputy with the moustache . He was a real jerk . The scene in which Rambo finally explod... |
564,680 | 102,816 | 457,504 | 10 | Fairly generic but fun racing game | I remember playing Top Speed in the arcades when I was only 7-years-old . Being that age I was really crap at it but it was one of those game where the more money you put in , the further you got . I never really had more than a couple of pounds to spare at that age . Perhaps if I saved up over a week I could have fini... |
564,290 | 102,816 | 462,720 | 10 | An absolutely mad ( and tragic ) pisstake . | In his US version of his TV show Ali G had an episode where he visited loads of Top Brass in the TV business . As a joke he created a pilot episode of a show called ' Spyz ' in which he played . . . wait for it . . . James Bond . But this is not the James Bond we know of . Instead it's a horribly low-budget amateur fil... |
564,416 | 102,816 | 122,690 | 10 | Brilliance | John Frankenheimer didn't have a lot of credibility in his last few years . His final film was the rather crap Reindeer Games , with Ben Affleck , and in 1996 he gave us the utterly terrible Island Of Doctor Moreau . However , he did do Ronin in 1998 , which makes up for absolutely everything . It is a detachment from ... |
564,505 | 102,816 | 108,755 | 10 | The BEST animated TV show EVER ! | I've always enjoyed animated ducks for some reason : Duck Tales , Darkwing Duck , Daffy Duck , Donald Duck . Though none of them are as deranged as Duckman . Originally broadcast between 1994 and 1997 Duckman lasted for a total 70 episodes but could easily have gone on forever without becoming stale . The titular chara... |
563,798 | 102,816 | 41,598 | 10 | Opera Torture | Quite happily playing the banjo and singing on the edge of his Rabbit hole , Bugs is rudely interrupted and his banjo broken when a huge , bullish Opera singer called Giovanni Jones throttles him for bugging him during opera practice . Of course you realize , this means war . Bugs goes to his Opera and disguises himsel... |
564,061 | 102,816 | 424,451 | 10 | Bursting with coolness | There's a lot going on in this game and so many devices and sub-games to keep you addicted . Not so much a DX than an updated version of the Sonic Adventure , from the now obsolete Dreamcast , with better graphics , new missions and loads of extras . You play the game as seven different characters : Sonic , Tails , Knu... |
564,563 | 102,816 | 189,072 | 10 | Scooby and Shaggy take a break | I saw this like a hundred times when I was a kid and I did not think I would laugh at it as much as I did then . Especially considering this is old school Scooby animation and not the sleeker , brighter animation of recent years . I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this . It's even better than Scooby's most recent a... |
564,831 | 102,816 | 97,366 | 10 | My fave film when I was a kid | Peggy-Lee Zorba , Nostradamus , The Colonel , Billy-Jean King , Claude-Henry Smoot , Peter Lemonjello , Ed Harley , Elmer-Fudd Gantry and Bobby-Lee Schwartz II . Not to mention Fletch himself . Has Chevy Chase ever played so many people in one film ? I love Fletch Live , it is so damn funny and cackles with hilarious d... |
564,816 | 102,816 | 279,830 | 10 | Gimme ! | Such a wonderful way to ask for candycandycandycandy . Well it's Garfield's way . And candy he certainly gets in this wonderful Halloween Special . It all starts on one cozy Halloween morn with Garfield waking to the sound of the TV . Normally he'd be irate at waking so early but when he learns what day it is he cannot... |
564,173 | 102,816 | 325,448 | 10 | Absolutely brilliant | Garfield is bored out of his mind . With nothing do to he rummages in the closet and unearths an old raincoat and fedora hat . All of a sudden he has the desire to fantasise himself as a jaded dime-novel private detective called Sam Spayed . At this point the show turns to black and white , a bold move considering most... |
564,682 | 102,816 | 451,088 | 10 | Very cute game and loads of fun but a bit too short | I first got this game way back in Xmas 1992 , which is rather appropriate coz it's a very Xmasy game . Pond's villain Doctor Maybe has seized control of Santa's workshop in the North Pole , kidnapped his workers and halted toy production . Obviously someone has to save Xmas so F . I . 5 . H . send James Pond to the res... |
564,051 | 102,816 | 83,791 | 10 | A major accomplishment ! | It took an infinity of imagination to make The Dark Crystal , a film so overflowing with invention that you literally have to watch it about 100 times just to take it all in . Everyone involved , from the director to the best boy gave the film such loving affection and made it the best it could possibly be . Kid's movi... |
563,808 | 102,816 | 118,475 | 10 | So much better than the movie ! | The movie was one of the worst I had seen in my life . I did not have high hope for the animated series but I was very much surprised . The dialogue and , bizarrely enough , the acting are a hundred times as good as the film and the plot and characters are also much more intriguing . Sadly production ended before the 4... |
564,556 | 102,816 | 316,697 | 10 | Get ready to rumble ! | Wow ! This was like the best fighting game ever . I totally loved Streets of Rage 2 . This was one of the true CLASSICS of the Sega Genesis . Whenever I fondly remember my beloved 16-bit console the fun I had playing SOR2 always comes to mind . Yuzo Koshiro's jazzy score was mind-blowing ! It completely immersed you in... |
564,163 | 102,816 | 294,536 | 10 | THE definitive beat-em-up | Double Dragon is commonly referred to as the first side-scrolling beat-em-up . It's not , there were a couple of minor hits before it , but it sure is the best that has ever dominated our arcades . Back in 1987 me and my uncle spent a fortune on this game and it took us about 40 million credits to get to the end . It w... |
564,112 | 102,816 | 451,177 | 10 | A pioneering but phenomenally hard space-shooter | In 1987 shoot-em-up video games were hardly new . But R-Type gave new meaning to the term ' side-scrolling space-shooter ' . Featuring subliminal imagery , awe-inspiring bio-mechanical villains , jaw-clenching gameplay , brilliant music and amazing power-ups , R-Type set a new standard that was soon mimicked in more ga... |
564,040 | 102,816 | 116,253 | 10 | Life reflects art . | In the modern world , Exec Dec strikes closer to home than it originally intended as it eerily foreshadows and other acts of terrorism . It makes for a perfect flip-side companion piece to Paul Greengrass's little-seen United 93 . In the world of Exec Dec the heroes save the day and America wins . In United 93 ( and th... |
564,422 | 102,816 | 116,225 | 10 | Snake is Back , baby | This movie is very unfairly under-rated . Just because when it came out America was in a feel good phase with the 1996 Olympics and the release of Independence Day . A lot of people have criticized the visual effects but the surfing scene ain't that bad and are far superior to that of the flames in the tunnel in ID4 . ... |
564,696 | 102,816 | 814,293 | 10 | Choo choo ! Hilariously funny ! | Only if you are really sick like me . We watched this movie in Primary School . I distinctly remember being in Primary 6 and it was the day before we all went off on our Easter holidays . They herded us into the gym hall where a representative from British Rail gave us a speech on why we shouldn't trespass on railways ... |
564,188 | 102,816 | 98,061 | 10 | Brilliant and inventive psychological fantasy | This is a way cool fantasy movie . One of my faves , it really is so cool . The director is Bernard Rose who went on to direct Candyman , he made a great start with this film . The film about a girl called Anna who falls ill with glandular fever on her 11th birthday . She draws a house on a shred of paper from her exer... |
564,095 | 102,816 | 93,748 | 10 | An annual tradition | Even though we do not celebrate Thanksgiving here in Scotland I watch this film once a year before I get in the Xmas mood and watch loads of Xmas movies like Home Alone , Scrooged and Christmas Vacation . It has become a tradition and perhaps even a necessity . Neal Page ( Steve Martin , back when he was funny ) is a M... |
564,405 | 102,816 | 814,329 | 10 | One of the best ! | I used to love Public Information Films when I was a kid . Some of them were masterpieces of tension and scares . Always filmed on 16mm , always stark and to-the-point and mostly always featuring children as the victims . You were glued to the screen . There's just something so hauntingly brilliant about them and The S... |
563,984 | 102,816 | 98,141 | 10 | While I love Dolph , Thomas Jane just did it better | I can't decide whether or not Dolph did not apply himself to this role in the slightest and ended up turning in a monotone performance or because the character is supposed to be dark and depressed . Either way it's slightly depressing to watch . The plot concerns Frank Castle AKA The Punisher and his effort to rid Wash... |
564,701 | 102,816 | 87,469 | 10 | Anything goes ! | Set before the events of ' Raiders ' , Dr . Jones is in Shanghai doing business with Chinese crime boss Lau Che . Losing the upper hand in a night club he barely escapes with his life ( and baggage in the form of Willie Scott and sidekick kid Short Round ) to the airport . But little does he know the plane he gets on i... |
564,535 | 102,816 | 35,836 | 10 | Chilling . And somehow still relevant . | In this dark Disney short ( directed by the same guy who did Lady and the Tramp and Peter Pan ) we see a young German couple take their newborn baby to be registered as one of ' Hitler's Children ' . They have to prove their ethnic origin all the way back to their great-grandparents to authenticate the child's pure Ary... |
564,707 | 102,816 | 93,773 | 10 | A man's movie . Girls not allowed | After starring as one of the most iconic and unstoppable villains ever in Terminator , it was high time that Arnie had a worthy foe to fight against . And he got way more than he bargained for with the Predator . Before his crowning achievement of Die Hard , John McTiernan assembled a group of seven muscle-bound comman... |
564,620 | 102,816 | 45,062 | 10 | Battle of wits again . | Once again Elmer is faced with the dilemma of who to shoot . Bugs of Daffy . He's unsure of what season it is and Bunny and Duck arguing help matters not . Though Bugs proves he's the smartest once more by repeatedly using reverse psychology on Daffy in increasingly subtle ways . And when that runs out he does his trad... |
564,417 | 102,816 | 107,286 | 10 | Great suspense , awesome set-pieces | Since seeing this film I've never been comfortable with Denis Leary as a comedian because he's so damn convincing as the cold-hearted bad guy in this . I think he's a great actor but this is the movie to see him in as it's A . His best performance and B . One of the best villains ever in movies . Judgment Night kind of... |
564,829 | 102,816 | 111,323 | 10 | It had great potential | For all this movie has going for it , nothing can overcome the weak dialogue and limp direction . Once the action kicks in it doesn't let up until the movie's climax and the villains are more than hissable . Ice-T turns in an okay performance as Jack Mason , a man unwittingly hired to be the human prey for a bunch of r... |
563,797 | 102,816 | 41,462 | 10 | A masterwork of trickery and deception . | Set back in the old west , during the days of the old traveling circuses , Bugs Bunny plays a stage presenter who oversells a high-diving act only for the diver to call in sick . Frustrated and mad at the disappointment , Yosemite Sam demands satisfaction and threatens Bugs to perform the stunts himself . You honestly ... |
