450,363 | 2,093,818 | 113,501 | 6 | Just OK | This movie started out as an apparently good movie , but about halfway through it started to go to hell . The only mildly good thing about the latter half of the movie was Sean Connery , who pretty much shines through the entire movie . His acting was pretty good , and could have been a saving grace , had the movie not... |
450,858 | 2,093,818 | 115,798 | 6 | Not a particularly good movie , but watchable for Carrey fans , and does have a good message | Since I was a fan of Jim Carrey ( almost a borderline psychotic fan ) a few years ago , I saw just about any Jim Carrey film I could get my hands on ( even the somewhat doubtful Batman Forever ) . Therefore , I saw this one many , many times , even memorizing every single funny line and facial expression ( I told you I... |
450,637 | 2,093,818 | 117,966 | 6 | Decent at best | First off , I haven't seen the first one , so I can't draw any comparisons between the two . The film is a trilogy , a collection of three horror short stories . Each lasts about half an hour . They are reasonably entertaining and scary , but on repeated viewings , the effects and the acting seems cheap and tame . The ... |
449,853 | 2,093,818 | 113,481 | 6 | Not too memorable | I've been a fan of William Gibson for a few years . . . I've read his Cyberspace trilogy and Virtual Light . This film is easily recognized as a work of his . . . the body-upgrading implants , the visual representation of cyberspace and the dystopic future world are among the trademarks of his work that is seen here . ... |
450,987 | 2,093,818 | 245,803 | 6 | Decent , but should have been better | My first though when I saw this was that it was the type of movie Jackie Chan would make ; sidekick that provides comic relief , hero with great martial arts capabilities and an equally strong enemy , corny , at times crude , humor , etc . Then again , I haven't really seen any other movies with Chow Yun-Fat , so I hav... |
450,906 | 2,093,818 | 486,272 | 6 | Oh no . . . the Style-O-matic 3000 is stuck on hyper-drive . . . I can't turn it off ! | OK , admitted , this documentary isn't constantly as over-stylized as I perhaps insinuate . But when it is , it's . . . not good . Not pretty . Coupled with a handful of really silly bits , if they are maybe reasonably executed , and the fact that it's edited from at least much of the same footage also used for the fil... |
450,249 | 2,093,818 | 265,029 | 6 | Hardly worth watching , except for one of the end scenes | When will Hollywood stop coming up with ridiculous plots to crap out more cookie-cut romance comedies ? It's obvious from the very beginning who's gonna end up with who , and how it'll end . The characters that we're supposed to hate / dislike are one-dimensional downright despicable and incredibly stereotypical . The ... |
450,607 | 2,093,818 | 200,027 | 6 | Riding Boys in Cars | I remember back when I saw the commercials announcing that this was coming to theaters . I didn't think much of it . All I heard was " featuring Drew Barrymore " , and then I decided I didn't want to spend money on a movie ticket to see her in a leading role , since I hadn't ( and still haven't ) seen an impressive per... |
450,701 | 2,093,818 | 232,532 | 6 | To be taken with a grain of salt . . . | Compared to the other Resident Evil games , this has poor graphics , less scary monsters , less challenging game-play and less . . . well , just less . Does this mean that the game is bad ? No . It just means that is less than what you'd expect from a typical Resident Evil game . And that seems to be more than enough r... |
450,793 | 2,093,818 | 100,403 | 6 | I realize that the thing's invisible , but you still missed the mark | Following up on a film the effect of which was largely based upon not seeing the entity that we dread , and slowly building up to showing it / him , is not an easy task . . . just look at the Halloween sequels ( if you can stand the sight ) . Well , you don't have to . Still , it really ought to be possible to do bette... |
450,850 | 2,093,818 | 120,157 | 6 | Not exactly what one might expect | Anderson's films are usually predictable , once you've seen at least one . His " surprises " , his tendency to play on claustrophobia , and I could go on . This one is different . . . whether that's positive or not is up to the individual viewer . The script is by the man who wrote Blade Runner ( which this is set in t... |
450,508 | 2,093,818 | 115,734 | 6 | Just barely OK | This movie is really a lot less funny that what I would expect from a funny guy like Owen Wilson . . . it has few funny jokes , most of the material just falls flat . The gags are also a bit lame , half of the time . It also seems to throw in to much love drama for a supposed comedy . The plot is OK , but the movie goe... |
450,276 | 2,093,818 | 395,253 | 6 | Enough with the math , people , we've got a crisis on our hands ! | As other of Bryan Harley's projects , in particular those involving Andrew Isaac , and often Jared Marshall ( and others not featured herein ) , this is quite silly . It's a spoof , a take on the trailer for The Sum of All Fears , or a fake trailer made for the film . It combines footage from the film itself , some oth... |
450,372 | 2,093,818 | 227,984 | 6 | Decent entertainment , but definitely not worth more than a single viewing | As I began watching this , I thought that , from the plot outline which I had glanced at before it came on TV , it wasn't going to be a particularly interesting or impressive film . Therefore , I didn't really pay that much attention to it , for the first five or ten minutes . When I did start paying attention , I noti... |
450,690 | 2,093,818 | 88,850 | 6 | Has some truly hilarious moments | I've never been a fan of Richard Pryor . . . I don't know , he just seems like a foul-mouthed loud-mouth to me ( and not a fun one at that , like Chris Rock is ) . But in this film , I have to admit , he does very good work . He and Candy ( whom I've always rather liked ) have great chemistry . The first scenes had me ... |
450,141 | 2,093,818 | 352,416 | 6 | It's OK , but it could have been better | After I have played all the way through this game , I can't say I enjoyed playing it an awful lot ; the stealth portion of the game is decent , but the horrendous camera angles make it nearly impossible to get past ( and unnecessarily frustrating to try your wits at ) . The Hulk portions of the game are at least a litt... |
450,877 | 2,093,818 | 449,579 | 6 | Think about it | This is a special feature found on the 2-Disc Special Collector's Edition of Star Trek V : The Final Frontier . At first , I wasn't sure why it was , apart from it being about regular people looking up at space , but then it went into an analysis by one man of certain episodes of TOS , and , more to the point , one of ... |
450,617 | 2,093,818 | 164,221 | 6 | Not a masterpiece , but sufficiently entertaining | I'm quite a big fan of the typical British humor , I find it a lot more sophisticated than the typical American humor . If you're into British humor , you'll definitely enjoy at least some part of this , as it's packed with it . Some of it is basic , and some of it is wacky , but most of it is good . It deals with a lo... |
450,849 | 2,093,818 | 111,742 | 6 | It seems like it ought to be better | I haven't watched a lot of films concerning werewolves . In general not really creature flicks . This is , obviously , something of a different take on such , and it is certainly an admirable attempt . I just , I don't know , maybe it missed the mark . There is clearly going something on beyond the whole turning ( whic... |
450,271 | 2,093,818 | 402,022 | 6 | It could have been better , but it certainly could also have been worse | I did watch some of the animated series that precedes this , but I can't be claimed to have really followed it , so I honestly don't have a basis of comparison . From what I understand , it's better and / or much more complicated than the movie . Throughout watching , I didn't really dislike this , not as such . . . it... |
450,629 | 2,093,818 | 146,316 | 6 | Average , only really enjoyable by Tomb Raider fans | This has some similarities to Indiana Jones films , the only big difference is that the hero is female . The plot is OK , only a little more ridiculous than typically for the adventure genre . The acting is average , no Oscar performances and no horrible performances either . The special effects are pretty good , but n... |
450,930 | 2,093,818 | 88,944 | 6 | Highly entertaining . . . but make sure you know what kind of movie you're in for | The genre of B-movies has taken a lot of flak . . . they're simple , they're of low cinematic quality . . . and let's not even get into how poorly done the vast majority of them are . In spite ( or because ) of that , many of them end as guilty pleasures and cult classics . This , my friends , is the ultimate B-movie .... |
450,345 | 2,093,818 | 1,018,683 | 6 | Worth a watch or so | This is a twelve-minute documentary , detailing the work on the costumes of Batman & Robin , featured on the 2-Disc DVD release of said movie . It's a reasonable enough special , and has some good information about the costumes , both design and use . In addition to obviously the crew behind the costumes ( of which Dra... |
450,199 | 2,093,818 | 111,705 | 6 | From someone who finds some of Tarantino's work interesting . . . | I don't like Reservoir Dogs . Matter of taste . Call me an ignorant film aficionado if you must , but I simply don't see what all the fuss is about with that film . I've later enjoyed several of Quentin's films , though . Anyway , when I heard of this 10 + minute long ( or should I say , short ) documentary comparing i... |
450,344 | 2,093,818 | 1,018,684 | 6 | It has some to offer | This nine minutes long documentary is featured on the Special Edition DVD release of Batman & Robin , and it details the special effects of said movie . It isn't too bad , and one crew-member explains / details the major change in how special effects are done , and what purpose the creators of them need to serve , what... |
450,315 | 2,093,818 | 486,419 | 6 | It's fine | There are seldom many places to go , for behind-the-scenes productions . The main point is arguably to inform and spark an interest in the film in whomever watches it , and as a bonus , perhaps entertain or at least not bore you . This is as plain as the majority of such , but it isn't bad . In about 14 minutes , inclu... |
450,097 | 2,093,818 | 88,979 | 6 | Definitely has some to offer | This is something as rare as a film that while mainly ( and plainly ) aimed at children , to a remarkable degree avoids insulting anyone not of that age . The plot isn't bad , and moves this along nicely . The pacing is reasonable . The acting varies , but Oliver . . . can someone please explain to me why he never got ... |
450,017 | 2,093,818 | 356,618 | 6 | Underdeveloped and ultimately only good while you watch it | My fiancée and I watched this together , both of us fans of science fiction . We watched the theatrical cut , not the extended version ( I have since watched the deleted scenes , however , and I'm not sure I see how they particularly improve the overall quality , though I'm not sure it actually worsens it ) . While we ... |
449,959 | 2,093,818 | 119,345 | 6 | Like Diet Scream , or a step or two further down | Don't get the wrong idea from my summary . . . this is entirely watchable , it's just somewhat bland ( and comparing this to aforementioned earlier Williamson piece is pure death to the former , pun intended ) . The concept is based on an urban legend ( mentioned herein , though lacking the clever referencing and hinti... |
450,030 | 2,093,818 | 86,837 | 6 | Skip this one . . . especially if you liked the first | Ever heard of the saying ' ignorance is bliss ' ? Well , apparently , Peter Hyams hasn't . Despite his own ignorance , he feels that we should be told a thin explanation of everything of the first AND the second film . Despite the first film being visual and symbolic , this tries to simplify every single little thing i... |
449,768 | 2,093,818 | 166,175 | 6 | Not particularly funny , but reasonably involving | We watched this film in English class , to get into the subject of clash of different cultures . I think the first thing that got to me was the very unnecessary gag very early in the film . . . very literally toilet humor . Anyone who's seen it will know what I'm referring to . A similar gag occurs several more times i... |
450,114 | 2,093,818 | 343,361 | 6 | Well , if nothing else , it is consistently disappointing . . . | You know what AvP2 really needed ? No , I don't know , either . . . but we shouldn't feel bad , because clearly the people behind this were equally , if not more , in the dark . My theory is , they took a long ( speaking of which , know what isn't ? . . . get your mind out of the gutter , I'm referring to the single pl... |
449,930 | 2,093,818 | 498,258 | 6 | Fair | This is a special feature found on the second disc of the Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machines DVD . It details the main characters of the whole series , and does so relatively well ( though can someone tell me what the heck that footage they used for at least Reese was , could they not get the right for actual clips of... |
450,047 | 2,093,818 | 768,136 | 6 | Nothing special , but not bad | First off , this should not be watched by anyone who hasn't already seen the film , unless they don't care about spoilers . I'm not sure the film will hold any surprises whatsoever if you see it after this . As far as behind-the-scenes featurettes and such go , this is informational enough . It has interviews with vari... |
450,710 | 2,093,818 | 109,890 | 6 | Decent , worth one semi-attentive viewing at best | I haven't been able to find the original Sam Peckinpah film of ' 72 , though it's not for lack of trying . I've been trying to see a Peckinpah film for quite some time , after hearing quite a lot about his directorial talent . When this film came on TV , after missing it about five showings so far , I decided to check ... |
450,985 | 2,093,818 | 104,070 | 6 | Dark comedy doesn't get much darker than this | This is one of the better dark comedies out there , and it's definitely one of the darkest I've ever seen . It's basic theme revolves around the many people who dream of being young forever ; many people , just in their late 30's or early 40's think about that , so It's a pretty appropriate subject ( especially to make... |
450,883 | 2,093,818 | 909,806 | 6 | Good on some levels . . . bad on more | I remember when I first got this game , back when it was released . I was one of the viewers who found the brief stint of the well-known small green toy soldiers to be one of the best parts of Toy Story . At the time , I figured that I must be in the minority . Judging from the massive gaming franchise this spin-off ha... |
449,847 | 2,093,818 | 109,936 | 6 | A good message . . . and , admitted , a few ( too few ? ) laughs along the way | I have a ( fairly ) vast collection of VHS tapes . I rarely get rid of anything , especially movies . Given that , there are a few among them that I don't care all that much for . . . some , I've even forgotten . There are even two or three that I've only watched once , and never really felt like watching again . . . e... |
449,917 | 2,093,818 | 272,020 | 6 | Decent , I suppose | I " saw " this film for the second ( and most likely last ) time today . . . the quotes are simply to make it clear that I didn't pay enough attention to it to claim that I actually saw it . . . more like glimpsed at it , occasionally . Do you know why ? Because I had seen it once before . Once . That's all there is to... |
450,086 | 2,093,818 | 176,799 | 6 | It's OK , considering it's a TV movie | This was an OK thriller , the plot is especially good , but it just isn't as good as it could / should have been , even for a TV movie . The plot seemed great when I read about it , but it just wasn't very special once you got into it . The movie is another typical " guess who did it " mystery thriller , and it primari... |
450,045 | 2,093,818 | 117,705 | 6 | Just not very good | I am not a fan of basketball , Michael Jordan or the Looney Tunes . Why , then , do I own a store-bought VHS copy of this film , you ask ? Darned if I know . Maybe it was a present . Maybe it was from a time where my taste was less discriminating . . . but hey , even kids must have some limit , some point at which they... |
450,204 | 2,093,818 | 395,755 | 6 | Fine behind-the-scenes | This is a feature-length special feature on the second disc of the 2-Disc DVD release , from 2003 , of X2 , the second X-Men film . This is perhaps said movie's version of the X-Men Production Scrapbook , on the first film ( found on the 1 . 5 DVD , not the original release ) , in that both are about an hour in length ... |
450,541 | 2,093,818 | 78,908 | 6 | Attack of the romper-wearing mutant kids | I don't really know , about this film . . . it just didn't seem as interesting and fascinating as some of Cronenberg's other work , like Scanners and such . . . the whole plot just seemed a little tame to me , and I have to say that I found it kind of hard to be scared by a bunch of midgets running around in rompers , ... |
450,209 | 2,093,818 | 395,756 | 6 | How it all began | This is a special feature found on the 2-Disc set of X2 , released in 2003 . . . but . . . and this is where it gets confusing . . . it doesn't mention the second movie , and never clearly defines itself as being about neither the first film nor the comics , but really takes some of both . It comes off as mostly about ... |
450,552 | 2,093,818 | 824,760 | 6 | Sufficient | This is a featurette found on the DVD of Johnny Mnemonic , the subject of which is , well , right there in the title . It's fine , for what it is . It consists of behind-the-scenes footage , interviews ( mainly with the actors , though the director and Gibson get to talk a little , as well . . . I wouldn't know , howev... |
450,012 | 2,093,818 | 119,695 | 6 | Chris Tucker carries it | The one reason to see this movie is to experience Tucker , who is as funny and energetic as ever in this somewhat daft attempt at a buddy-comedy action flick . Sheen and Tucker have too little chemistry to pull it off , and the whole thing just winds up being carried entirely by Tucker's great performance , which is th... |
450,308 | 2,093,818 | 187,738 | 6 | What exactly went wrong here ? | While the first Blade was good , bordering on great , this was so bad that it actually hurts to watch it . You are literally in pain . The special effects suck so much that it hurts the eyes to look at them ; in the first , whenever a vampire dies , it explodes / disintegrates into dust ( which makes perfect sense , as... |
450,900 | 2,093,818 | 389,564 | 6 | Another sci-fi show cancelled before its time . . . the execution killed it | I've watched every episode of this . After months of uncertainty , The 4400 was cancelled . Possibly a victim of the writers ' strike , probably not the only one . . . but it would be unfair to put all the blame on said union act . Yes , this show definitely had its ups . Yes , there were occasional great episodes , su... |
450,173 | 2,093,818 | 96,320 | 6 | Not all bad | The marriage of Arnie's physical type of film to the wise-cracking , not entirely law-abiding DeVito role is not an entirely happy one . Most of the humor is derived from aforementioned qualities , as well as the naiveté of the former . Like other 80's comedies , such as the Look Who's Talking series , this isn't entir... |
449,899 | 2,093,818 | 280,929 | 6 | Inferior to the first | I can't tell you how happy I was when I got the full version of the first game . . . after having played the demo more times than I can count ; finding out that the game itself was more of the same greatness that the demo was . . . now , imagine my disappointment in finding that the sequel to one of my favorite games i... |
450,266 | 2,093,818 | 425,481 | 6 | Ah , pre-vis . . . where would the movie had been without you ? | Why such a low rating ? As of writing this , there is only one other review , and it isn't by one of the 36 . 5 % ( ! ) ( only nineteen people , but still . . . besides , that doesn't sound as impressive ! ) who voted a 1 for this , so I couldn't tell you . As the title tells you , this deals with the pre-visualization... |
450,269 | 2,093,818 | 1,003,281 | 6 | Where's Utopia ? | This is another special feature on the Æon Flux DVD , and in case it still eludes you after reading the title of it , in its massive , overwhelming intricacy and subtlety , this one's about locations . Locations used in shooting the film . After wasting two minutes or so telling us about a location that they wound up n... |
450,843 | 2,093,818 | 113,957 | 6 | Great idea , less-than-great execution | Sandra Bullock is by no means a particularly good actress . Most of her success has more to do with her looks than her talent . Still , I think she pulls off a decent , if not perfectly believable , performance in this fairly credible cyber-thriller . The plot is pretty good , and not entirely impossible . The movie do... |
450,339 | 2,093,818 | 117,438 | 6 | Dull , slow-paced and overlong | What bothered me most about this film was the fact that it takes a full hour , half the movie ( which is about half an hour too long ) to get through what is described of it in the plot outline . To put it another way ; what should be a twist in the film , what should have been kept a big secret is casually mentioned .... |
450,814 | 2,093,818 | 113,965 | 6 | My analysis spoilers Don't read this unless you've seen the movie ( this contains little in the way of an actual review ) | I write this for people who've seen the movie , and don't understand it . First of all , you have to understand that Sarah suffered from multi-personality disorder from a long time before the movie started ; most likely since she was a child . She didn't know this herself , because it's like that with MPD's . The regul... |
449,827 | 2,093,818 | 104,431 | 6 | A sequel in the vein of Terminator 2 | This is another of those sequels that . . . suffer ( ? ) . . . from a not entirely uncommon illness , known as " The T2 Syndrome " . Terminator 2 may not be the origin of said illness , or even the first film to fall victim of it , but it is commonly accepted as the first recorded case of it . The syndrome renders any ... |
450,349 | 2,093,818 | 181,316 | 6 | An average movie . . . yeah , it's " like that " | How watchable this film is depends almost exclusively on your tolerance of Martin Lawrence . It's pretty much entirely his movie . Wilson is just barely there at all , and the rest of the players are there to play off Lawrence ( or maybe rather , for him to play off ) , or provide obstacles for him in his continued que... |
450,046 | 2,093,818 | 133,385 | 6 | Not great , but not awful | I used to read the comics as a kid . . . by now , I only vaguely remember them , and those of the animated attempts that were produced that I watched , but a lot of things do seem to fit with what I remember . And hey , at least it's produced by the French , featuring the French , France being where the comic is actual... |
450,461 | 2,093,818 | 183,505 | 6 | Jim Carrey , the Farrelly brothers & a disaster of a film | We all ( well , most of us , at least ) know Jim Carrey . . . the master of physical comedy and facial comedy . We also know the Farrelly brothers , who've done a lot of R-rated crude comedies lately , and who directed Carrey earlier in Dumb & Dumber . Now , imagine that these meet , in a movie that's typical for the F... |
450,208 | 2,093,818 | 395,608 | 6 | There are worse acquaintances to make | This special feature , found on the 2-Disc DVD release of X2 , the second X-Men movie , and , as the title tells you , it's all about Nightcrawler . It features a somewhat randomly inter-cut clip or two of his scenes in the film , some interviews , some sketches of figuring out the look , and finally , behind the scene... |
450,355 | 2,093,818 | 144,084 | 6 | Portrait of a serial killer | This movie is very strange . It's about a stock broker who's a serial killer at night . It's also about the social life of stock brokers , in the late 80's . The main character , Patrick Bateman , constantly excuses himself out of any situation that he doesn't completely control , and is , as all the other stock broker... |
450,971 | 2,093,818 | 67,549 | 6 | Not really very good | I watched this with my father , having not heard anything about it ( positive nor negative ) . I think I payed full attention to it for less than five minutes , and then I started doing other things , while only vaguely following what went on in the film . I'm not even completely sure what it ended with , since the cre... |
450,529 | 2,093,818 | 79,100 | 6 | The horse fairy-tale | I like Pollack . I'm not sure there's anything that I wouldn't at least give a chance , as long as he had an important part in the making of it . This is probably the most formulaic thing I've seen of his . . . which isn't to say that it's necessarily bad . It's just that , well , if you don't see the majority of what ... |
450,270 | 2,093,818 | 297,410 | 7 | A cornucopia of FPS fun in the Star Wars universe | Following up to the first Jedi Knight was not going to be easy . It had it all , and it was all very accomplished . This does an amazing job , even if it doesn't reach it all the way ( what could ? ) . The plot is pretty good , if perhaps not the most original ever , and it features something of an inconsistency ( anot... |
450,769 | 2,093,818 | 219,965 | 7 | Very entertaining and quite original | I must admit , when I sat down to watch this film , I didn't expect much ; I had seen a few trailers , maybe a TV-spot or two , but that's it . The only thing I knew about it was that it was a crime-comedy , and that Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton portrayed the leads . I didn't think it would be so funny and thoro... |
450,181 | 2,093,818 | 78,199 | 7 | Utilizing potential | I haven't seen the play that this film is based on , though I do see how it could work as a play . The film adaptation does perhaps not particularly add something specific to the media of film , but I'm not sure the piece needed it or called for it . . . it could very well have served as nothing but a distraction . The... |
450,342 | 2,093,818 | 246,677 | 7 | I don't get it . . . | I rented this because I had heard great things about one of director Tom Tykwer's other films , Lola Rennt , and I couldn't find that anywhere . I certainly hope that film is better than this , because I didn't see any depth or value in this . I didn't really see anything past the nice visuals or the good score . The f... |
450,871 | 2,093,818 | 105,112 | 7 | Not necessarily bad | I haven't read the novel , but apparently it wouldn't make much of a difference ; Clancy wanted nothing to do with this after reading the first draft . This is perhaps not really a movie based on a book of his , rather more of a Ford one loosely based on an original piece of writing . That doesn't have to be a negative... |
450,880 | 2,093,818 | 899,131 | 7 | A step in the right direction . . . though not exactly a huge one | After the first Army Men , which felt somewhat rushed , this came out , with new features and changes compensating for many of the shortcomings of the first . However , it did come out relatively soon after the first . . . and in some ways , this feels rushed , as well . Like so many other series where the first game w... |
450,575 | 2,093,818 | 372,765 | 7 | Out there | The ninth and final Animatrix short , as well as the longest , running at about 16 minutes . This is the most surreal of them all , with downright psychedelic images . The animation is amazing , well-done 2D Animé with well-integrated and utterly stunning 3D CGI elements . One can tell that this was done by Peter Chung... |
450,578 | 2,093,818 | 372,764 | 7 | Ironically , it doesn't go all the way | Coming in at about 13 minutes , this , the seventh of the Animatrix short is the longest of them all . The pacing is mostly good , and in spite of sometimes being laid-back , it's never boring . The animation is great , a nice mix of 2D Animé style and gorgeous 3D CGI elements . The many surreal visuals are beautifully... |
450,754 | 2,093,818 | 109,040 | 7 | Typical Carrey comedy | I guess movies like this are the ones that established Jim Carrey , and secured him a good , long career . It's definitely one of the more easily remembered of his films , and one of those that made him known as the comical genius that he is . The script allows for plenty of facial expressions and sounds by Carrey , an... |
450,526 | 2,093,818 | 1,283,925 | 7 | The real story | This is the second of the featurettes on the second disc of the 2-DVD Kingdom of Heaven set that last an hour with commercials , and about 40 minutes , 44 in this particular case , without . It is far superior to the other , and a much more interesting watch . Where that went over the weapons and such - which really ou... |
449,934 | 2,093,818 | 101,272 | 7 | Inferior to its sequel , but great entertainment nonetheless | I haven't seen the original Addams Family series , I've only seen the three movies and the cartoon series , and I have to say that this is far better than the cartoon series . Every single character is perfectly casted in this film ; Raul Julia does a great Gomez , Anjelica Huston is perfect as the dangerously slim , f... |
450,810 | 2,093,818 | 446,708 | 7 | Cute , little , exciting game . . . with emphasis on " little " | I remember playing the demo to this game back when it was first released . I was pretty much hooked right from the start . When I got it a few years after , I instantly started playing it . Not too long ago , I found the game in the pile of games I haven't played for a while . I decided to give it another go , though I... |
450,719 | 2,093,818 | 277,434 | 7 | Few shortcomings | I was positively surprised by this . While not always pleasant , this is well-done throughout , and great for almost the entire duration . The plot is really good , and never gets boring . The pacing is solid . The acting is invariably powerful . The characters , if not as interesting or engaging as they could be , are... |
450,679 | 2,093,818 | 338,111 | 7 | Cool , but packed with glaringly obvious plot holes | You can almost always rely on John Woo to deliver great action . . . Face / Off and those of his films that were made before he went Hollywood , especially those featuring Chow Yun-Fat ( or so I've heard ; have only seen Face / Off myself ) are great and popular for his unique brand of cool , stylish action . His use o... |
450,360 | 2,093,818 | 112,851 | 7 | Pretty good , a worthy sequel to El Mariachi | This movie is pretty much what El Mariachi would have been , if Robert Rodriguez just had the money back then . The movie is very action-filled , there rarely passes more than ten minutes in a row without an action scene . Unfortunately , the movie doesn't have a good opposite of action , as there's constantly somethin... |
450,621 | 2,093,818 | 106,873 | 7 | Pretty good spoof | I have seen a few spoof movies , and this is definitely one of the better . It has very much the same type of humor for a spoof movie , and it delivers some great laughs if you're into this type of movie . The plot and acting is typical for this sort of movie , nothing really new there . No one has a breathtaking perfo... |
449,956 | 2,093,818 | 316,654 | 7 | Getting better , I guess | I doubt anyone who read my review of Spiderman is unclear on the fact that I hated it . . . primarily due to my fandom of the comics ( yes , guilty as charged , I am impossible to please in at least this area ) . So why watch this , you ask ? . . . you didn't ? Well , whatever . Because it was on TV , and just about ev... |
449,815 | 2,093,818 | 35,279 | 7 | Clearly not meant to be taken seriously , but still a fun ride delivered by Hitchcock | When a film is made while the country is involved in a World War , it's hard for it to come out entirely unbiased . . . though I suppose this film also reveals quite a lot about Hitchcock's own sensibilities . The whole film has a tone of democracy and ' united we stand ' , but it's fairly nicely buried in the interest... |
450,215 | 2,093,818 | 295,178 | 7 | About as good as the second | While this is still not as funny as the first one , it's still worth watching . It has a load of recycled jokes from both of the earlier films , and a little too many references to the first , in my opinion . It's not entirely bad though , after a slow start it kicks off and gets very funny , very quickly . Most of the... |
449,940 | 2,093,818 | 118,571 | 7 | Pretty good , but not really anything special | Hollywood has made plenty of films by this one basic formula , ever since the popularity of Die Hard ; put a heroic character in a confined space , let a bunch of terrorists take the confined space over , and have the heroic character kill the terrorists , one by one . Unfortunately , no movie has ever come close to th... |
450,783 | 2,093,818 | 398,712 | 7 | Not the original , but a solid 98 minutes | This has nowhere near the same level of tension as Carpenter's ( just to clear things up , for those of you who haven't read my review of that , I have not seen Rio Bravo , which I understand that both are based upon ) , but I don't get the impression that that was what they were going for . Why try to beat the man at ... |
449,871 | 2,093,818 | 290,332 | 7 | Not bad , not bad at all | I really loved this movie , great " black " humor . I had heard a lot of different opinions on it , but I have to admit I watched it primarily because I had heard of Eminems hilarious cameo . I couldn't have imagined that the movie would be so funny . Dr . Dre and Snoop Dogg are great in the leads , however , George Wa... |
450,730 | 2,093,818 | 212,449 | 7 | Just not as good as the first | I remember finding out about this game , and being excited to play the successor to one of my favorite gaming experiences . From the beginning , I could tell that this was different ; the first pushed the limit for what could be done at that time in games , but maintained a genuine sense of realizing that the industry ... |
449,762 | 2,093,818 | 212,450 | 7 | The Prince's leap into 3D has a reasonably carefree landing | For the longest time , I would not hear of this game . The Prince . . . in 3D ? It seemed to be a sure recipe for disaster . I am delighted to say that I was thoroughly ( pleasantly , that is ! ) surprised by this title . The established Prince of Persia adventure / action game-play translates rather well to 3D , and t... |
451,029 | 2,093,818 | 252,503 | 7 | Double-crosses and slang galore , but not a bad film | I didn't know anything about David Mamet before I saw this film . . . now I know that he's got a penchant for characters with ulterior motives and slang-heavy dialog . Going into this film , I didn't expect anything but a ( surprise surprise ) heist flick . I got just that . Not just a heist flick , but a well-acted , ... |
450,908 | 2,093,818 | 116,629 | 7 | Undeniably entertaining | This film can't be claimed to possess much , if any , intellectual value . It won't change the way we view anything ( well , it may have people looking up , and / or appreciating the unblocked view of the sky more than usual ) . It won't revolutionize film-making . It may not even stay in your mind for terribly long af... |
449,758 | 2,093,818 | 295,203 | 7 | More fun in the Red Alert universe | The campiness of Red Alert 2 continues full force , and is joined by an equal amount of cheesiness . The plot isn't bad , it just isn't very original , and the basis for it is something of a deus ex machina . . . or , in laymen's terms , it screams , " We're written into a corner , and we have no good way of getting ou... |
450,278 | 2,093,818 | 116,583 | 7 | What makes a monster , and what makes a man | I have not read the book by Victor Hugo , but I do understand that , as the other adaptations of theirs , this has been " Disney-fied " , gotten something of a heavy dose of sugar injected , to direct its aim toward children . In spite of this , it's actually quite watchable for those of us who aren't , anymore . The t... |
450,201 | 2,093,818 | 112,740 | 7 | Very ' Hollywood ' , but not ( all ) bad | I watched this movie with my fiancée , an American rightly proud of their military might . I wasn't expecting much more than standard Hollywood fare , so I really wasn't let down by it . The plot is pretty good , and presents a damn good dilemma . Neither my wife-to-be nor I could truly take either side . It's too bad ... |
450,052 | 2,093,818 | 215,685 | 7 | Surreal | The short film that directly precedes The Meaning of Life by Monty Python ( meaning , it runs directly before the rest of the film starts ) , this was put together by Terry Gilliam , the masterful director among the team , and the man behind both Twelve Monkeys and the animations that the team include in the Flying Cir... |
451,008 | 2,093,818 | 386,384 | 7 | No , the war isn't over . . . it's just gotten even cooler | This upgrade picks up after the end of Generals , its parent game . . . the war seemed won , but the GLA just barely survived . . . and a new leader has emerged among them , one who just may be able to gather their forces and become a threat . Finish the GLA off once and for all , or aid them . This upgrade adds some n... |
450,478 | 2,093,818 | 482,275 | 7 | Handy | This is another still of the featurettes on the DVD of Team America : World Police , informing you on a subject of the creative process behind it . This one specifically deals with the control of the puppets , the amount of effort going into even one moving or emoting , various of the limitations as well as the scope o... |
450,000 | 2,093,818 | 318,627 | 7 | About as good as the first , overall | After having seen Resident Evil god knows how many times , and being pretty psyched for the sequel , I finally got to see it , and on the premiere night , too . Of course , I knew that the director of the first RE , Paul W . S . Anderson , wasn't doing this , since he was busy making his dream project , Aliens Vs Preda... |
450,475 | 2,093,818 | 482,274 | 7 | Fire in the hole | This is one of the short featurettes on the DVD of Team America : World Police , going into a specific area of said film . In this case , it's pyro-technics , and several scenes have the secret behind their explosions revealed , and this is both interesting , and , well , fun . Come on , doesn't everybody , deep down ,... |
450,479 | 2,093,818 | 482,273 | 7 | Stringy , yet with a mechanical feel to it | This is another of the featurettes on the DVD of Team America : World Police , and it deals with one specific subject , like the others . In this one , it's all about the creation of the puppets , from start to finish , the amount of , and what type of , work , that goes into each and every one of them , their costumes... |
450,477 | 2,093,818 | 482,272 | 7 | Not just what is said a while before " cut " | This is one of the seven short featurettes about Team America : World Police , found on the DVD of that . Among other subjects , such as the lighting and cinematography , it goes into the hiring of Bill Pope , who probably gets the most screen-time in this , but as he's got tremendous stuff to share about the work done... |
450,053 | 2,093,818 | 68,154 | 7 | A review from someone who isn't really a fan of Westerns | I don't know , maybe it's that I didn't grow up with them , the way others have , the fact that I'm not American , or a variety of factors , but I've never been much for the classic Westerns . As with films regarding historic events , and films further back than a few decades , Westerns are something that I just don't ... |
