450,923 | 2,093,818 | 424,369 | 7 | Sit back , put a clip in the good old . 45 and dish out some punishment in one of the most creative games ever made | This game is great . You get to be The Punisher , something I know many , many comic book fans and aggressive people alike have wanted to for years . Naturally , when a game is finally made after so many years of fans adoring the comics , you have to work very hard to make sure it doesn't disappoint . Well , for my mon... |
450,116 | 2,093,818 | 80,749 | 7 | Solid | First off , I watched this on television , so it is possible that it was , at least somewhat , censored . I really don't think I've seen a single film of John's that I didn't care for . . . I don't love each and every one , but I like them all . The man can build atmosphere so skillfully , it isn't even funny . This is... |
450,815 | 2,093,818 | 382,068 | 7 | Entertaining , if a tad short on material | I've always liked Thomas Hartmann . Much like Anders Matthesen , he has a cynical , aggressive kind of humor ( albeit less sexual , violent and graphic / shocking ) , if less intense and " angry " . In a talk about various stand-up comedians that I had with a friend , we agreed that he writes good material . . . but , ... |
450,831 | 2,093,818 | 78,748 | 7 | I remain underwhelmed , I'm afraid | This film is quite popular , at least judging from it's rating ( as I'm writing this , it's placed # 50 on the top 250 list ) . I realize that this was probably a benchmark for special effects when it was made , but now the effects seem incredibly dated ( which they don't , at the very least to the same extent , in pie... |
449,788 | 2,093,818 | 439,486 | 7 | Diary | This is a documentary on the Ultimate 10-Disc ( with # 9 entirely dedicated to this , and titled after it ) Set . It consists almost solely of behind the scenes footage , with relatively few actual interviews , instead going for something of a fly-on-the-wall perspective , with us witnessing and overhearing . We get a ... |
450,646 | 2,093,818 | 190,590 | 7 | Not sure what to make of it . . . | The Coen brothers continually astound me . . . and I'm not sure if that is a good thing . Every time I think I've figured them or their films out , they pull one over on me . The Hudsucker Proxy had some great humor , but was mostly a homage to old comedies . Fargo was somewhat weird and oddly repetitive , but had plen... |
451,003 | 2,093,818 | 408,790 | 7 | Very good suspense and atmosphere | My fiancée and I watched this , not knowing exactly what to expect of it . . . we agreed that it looked interesting . We watched it on TV , so some things may have been cut . First off , the movie looks very good . Visually , there are few things to complain about ( though it does get overly and unnecessarily stylized ... |
450,821 | 2,093,818 | 87,291 | 7 | A cute take on the legend | Along with Vincent , this short is featured on the DVD of The Nightmare Before Christmas . Since I first read about it here on IMDb , I've wanted to watch it . It's a delightful little film version of Frankenstein , seen from a child's perspective , and with charm and a sweet sense of humor . You'd be hard pressed to f... |
450,413 | 2,093,818 | 85,333 | 7 | Not Carpenter's best , but pretty good | Let me make this clear right away : I haven't read the book , nor do I intend to . You won't find any comparisons between the book and the film in this review . This film combines two of the biggest names in horror from two different medias ; Stephen King is pretty much legendary for his written horror work . John Carp... |
450,982 | 2,093,818 | 319,262 | 7 | A visually impressive disaster flick with a moral | I'm not usually into disaster films , but when one deals with the end of the world and the results of the greenhouse effect , I just had to check it out . I'm glad I did . This is definitely the most enjoyable , least Hollywood-like film I've seen from Roland Emmerich , at least to the best of my recollection . He deal... |
450,760 | 2,093,818 | 115,963 | 7 | Pretty good teen-horror-comedy about witchcraft | I haven't seen too many films about witchcraft ( technically , this is the only one , since Charmed is a series ) , but I do think that this is pretty good , and probably one of the better , films about the subject . It's about a teenage girl , who moves to a new town , and is made an outcast almost the moment she sets... |
450,585 | 2,093,818 | 179,626 | 7 | Intense , with a healthy dose of satire | I wouldn't give anyone a hard time for choosing to watch this just based on casting choices . . . c'mon , it's got DeNiro and renowned ( well , maybe not , but he darn well should be ) bad-ass black guy , Brooks , both playing cops , and the film has action . However , there's definitely more of worth to be found here ... |
450,740 | 2,093,818 | 418,194 | 7 | Might as well have been called Battlefield : Star Wars . . . but not bad | I'm getting increasingly tired of major franchises making games based on other games . Not long ago , in a video game store quite near . . . sorry , couldn't resist . Anyway , another Star Wars game was recently released . It was a real time strategy game . It didn't take more than one quick glance to tell that it was ... |
450,790 | 2,093,818 | 89,155 | 7 | I have to admit , it won me over | I don't particularly care for Chase . I simply usually don't really find him funny . But I did like this . I have not read any of the books . It happened somewhat gradually , but long before this was over , I was enjoying myself . In the long run , the thing's just difficult to resist . Some of the comedy is from sexua... |
450,168 | 2,093,818 | 831,887 | 7 | I'm on my way . . . even if people do walk out of the theater | I have never read a The Spirit comic book . In fact , I'm not sure I knew he existed until I watched the trailers for it , and what caught my attention first was Miller's name attached to it . I went to the theater looking mainly for his personal touch on this , and I would say I spotted it . This whole thing seems lik... |
450,771 | 2,093,818 | 71,914 | 7 | Arguably somewhat anticlimactic , but a pretty good Danish film | Usually , when I watch Danish films , old ones in particular , I have to lower my expectations , compared to when I watch American or other countries where the films have a budget that isn't as low and / or the film-makers are more talented . This film is , sadly , no exception . The story is based on a novel by a Dani... |
450,414 | 2,093,818 | 410,519 | 7 | Insight | The 27-minute version of this is on the second DVD on the 2-Disc release of The Matrix Revolutions , and is what I base this review on . I do not know where the extended cut is . This is a making-of documentary , dealing with the entirety of the film . It consists of storyboards , artwork , pre-vis , behind-the-scenes ... |
449,828 | 2,093,818 | 274,546 | 7 | A visual feast , definitely a worthy addition to the franchise | I dig Hellraiser . I dig Pinhead . And I dig Douglas Bradley . Fortunately , those three are in all of the Hellraiser films ( unless I'm mistaken ) . Since this also has Kirsty , one of my favorite parts of the first two films , I wanted to watch this as soon as possible . It finally appeared at the local Blockbuster ,... |
450,674 | 2,093,818 | 107,048 | 7 | Good , but hardly great | I'm not saying that this movie isn't funny . . . quite the contrary . But so many claim that it's great , almost a masterpiece . . . why ? It starts out very good , with Bill Murray being his typical , sarcastic , at times deadpan self , and continue being so for a good while . . . but somewhere , about halfway through... |
450,300 | 2,093,818 | 78,346 | 7 | A good start | I've never cared much for Superman . He gets all the attention , while ( in my opinion underrated ) heroes like Spiderman are widely ignored . He's just too strong . Superstrength , invulnerability . . . and there's only one thing that can hurt him at all , and it's not even of this world . The main reason I watched th... |
450,509 | 2,093,818 | 201,732 | 7 | Not original , but pretty good for a made-for-TV sci-fi thriller | This film concerns a science experiment gone horribly wrong ; it makes a newborn little girl grow uncontrollably fast , and the film revolves around the two main characters , who are science students , trying to stop it , to stun her growth , or at least bring it down to a more sensible rate . The plot is pretty good ;... |
450,832 | 2,093,818 | 320,661 | 7 | Well-done | I watched this mainly with the hope and intent of being entertained . . . and on that , this did just fine . If you're looking for a review that evaluates the historical , religious and so on and so forth , aspects , I'd advise reading someone else's ( but hey , if you want , by all means , stick around . . . I've got ... |
450,420 | 2,093,818 | 295,432 | 7 | It gets around , to an extent | This covers just about every area of the creative process , and goes through the three stages chronologically , with the main focus squarely placed on the production . There are documentaries that go into more detail , and cover the other two groups better . This consists of artwork , behind-the-scenes footage , clips ... |
449,863 | 2,093,818 | 309,698 | 7 | Just when you thought twist-movies had improved . . . minor spoilers | I picked this movie up at Blockbuster after having been recommended it a long time ago . The beginning looked somewhat promising , and I enjoyed the use of a non-linear time-line . The way the many characters were brought together was even kind of clever ( even though it's basically just a bunch of people driving in ca... |
449,803 | 2,093,818 | 402,710 | 7 | Better than the typical Danish production , but not without flaws | After having seen this at the cinema , I can't help but wonder . . . what exactly was the point ? Two hours spent , and the only message I could find in the film was that Hans Christian Andersen just really didn't want to do anything other than , well , what he wanted to do , not even if it meant becoming the great tal... |
449,754 | 2,093,818 | 499,191 | 7 | An exploration of the character of Anakin Skywalker | This features a fairly efficient and concise depiction of the transformation and characteristics of Darth Vader . Brief interview bits , clips from the movies and behind the scenes footage is cut tightly to aid in this , and Christensen kindly details every single emotion his character felt in the second movie of the p... |
449,804 | 2,093,818 | 89,118 | 7 | Original and thoroughly entertaining 80's action movie | I re-watched this film , after having seen it about five or seven years ago , since I had a faint memory of it being somewhat entertaining . I had completely forgot how entertaining it was ; normally , I'm not into 80's movies , especially 80's action movies , but this one had some very unique qualities ; the most impo... |
450,310 | 2,093,818 | 115,885 | 7 | A new perspective on The Children of the Corn | This is pretty different from the first two ( and possibly the third , haven't seen that yet ) , but that's not necessarily a bad thing . I liked the fact that there was no mention whatsoever of " He who walks behind the rows " . That was the most annoying thing in the first two movies for me , especially when it turns... |
450,364 | 2,093,818 | 111,418 | 7 | Interesting concept , clever writing and all-round pretty entertaining | I think what makes this film work is the chemistry between the three main characters . You like these characters , feel with them and believe that they would get along in real life like they do in the movie . The concept is clearly quite controversial , and I guess that's why it's so unpopular . I like the way it isn't... |
450,672 | 2,093,818 | 360,486 | 7 | Well , if you take it for what it is , you'll definitely be entertained | There are more than enough reasons this movie should suck : it's directed by a music video director , whose done no other movies so far , not even for TV or direct-to-video . It's based on a comic book , and from the looks of it , only vaguely based on it ( despite the original comic being at least seemingly highly pop... |
450,658 | 2,093,818 | 369,339 | 7 | What is it with Mann and endings ? | I saw this film tonight , at the theater . It started out pretty good , with some good dialog , some nice-looking cinematography , some good acting and some surprisingly good character development for a film directed by Michael Mann ( who did Heat , which is probably the slowest moving action film that I have seen and ... |
450,379 | 2,093,818 | 113,492 | 7 | Entertaining throughout . . . and yes , Sly , you probably did know I was going to say that | I've never actually read the comic book . . . prior to watching this , I just knew about the " universe " of Judge Dredd , the gist , the basic idea . This is a fun ride from start to finish . From the opening moments , with a brief introduction to the world presented herein , by the booming , powerful voice of none ot... |
450,551 | 2,093,818 | 819,835 | 7 | I enjoyed it | This is a documentary found on the DVD release of , well , it's part of the title , so it really shouldn't be a mystery . It's done in a style similar to the feature itself . It has some clips of it , and also consists of storyboards , interviews and footage from behind the scenes ( shooting and otherwise ) . This real... |
450,082 | 2,093,818 | 397,101 | 7 | The key that really let itself go | I didn't particularly know anything about this going in . Kruger having written it . . . while Scream 3 may not necessarily be something to brag about , The Ring definitely is , at least in my eyes . Apart from Hurt , I don't have much of an opinion on the cast . The plot is interesting , develops fine , and the twist ... |
449,889 | 2,093,818 | 432,021 | 7 | It's entertaining , and it definitely delivers what we expect from this series , and Anderson . . . for better or for worse | When a man continually writes scenes in which his fiancée appears naked ( if not seen fully nude , save for glimpses which many a teen boy have undoubtedly paused and gone frame by frame to . . . admire ; ah , the wonders of the DVD format ) , is he " sharing the wealth " , or is he being a pompous jerk , rubbing her l... |
450,176 | 2,093,818 | 107,206 | 7 | Delivers | What I've seen of Wolfgang Petersen's films has been pretty good . He knows how to direct action , create suspense and get you interested . Eastwood tends to be great , sometimes excellent . This goes for both his acting and his directing . They both hand in solid work here . The concept isn't bad , and the cat-and-mou... |
450,703 | 2,093,818 | 100,404 | 7 | Pretty good court drama | Being a huge fan of court room dramas , a fairly big one of Raul Julia , and a faithful supporter of Brian Dennehy and Harrison Ford , I decided to watch this film , as it came on TV . I had just seen an exceptional episode of " JAG " , so I was very much in the mood for more court room drama . This film quite definite... |
450,764 | 2,093,818 | 100,405 | 7 | One of the exceptionally few romantic comedies that are worth watching | This is one of the very few romantic comedies that work ; first of all , it has likable , non-stereotypical characters . Second , the theme and basic idea is pretty good , original and interesting . Third , the humor rarely seems forced , but rather comes naturally . The basic idea that the film is based on is a prosti... |
450,905 | 2,093,818 | 420,324 | 7 | Cool trailer , but certainly not flawless | Batman and Superman . Iconic . The better part of a century old . Who doesn't know of these two ? There must be countless of fans who would die to make a film about them . Sandy Collora went ahead and put together a trailer for such a film ( which does not exist , and is not being created , much less by this team ) . P... |
450,200 | 2,093,818 | 212,579 | 7 | A mixed bag | As nice as it is to see a reunion of the entire cast of the Blackadder franchise , this is only so-so entertainment . It was nice to see Blackadder as produced as something other than a regular sit-com , with nice cinematography , special effects and editing . The plot is pretty good , but it drives this more than it s... |
449,817 | 2,093,818 | 142,688 | 7 | I don't get it . . . | Just after seeing this film , I didn't understand it , or know what to make of it . Not being a huge fan of ignorance , I went ahead and read a few different analysis's , and I think I've pretty much figured out what the film means now . I'd probably have to watch it at least once more to understand it , though . I get... |
450,084 | 2,093,818 | 104,815 | 7 | Definitely one of the best independent films ever made | This movie was made on a shoe-string budget . No , actually less than a shoe-string budget . It cost about 7 , 000 dollars to make , and unless you know that when you sit down to watch it , you won't be able to tell . It doesn't look like a low budget movie at all ; it's better than several big several million dollar b... |
449,852 | 2,093,818 | 439,686 | 7 | Good , but could have been better | Adam Bertocci has a knack for satire and quirky writing . His work is full of humor and odd angles on situations . And yet , this seems to fall short , somehow . . . the idea just isn't explored as much as it could and should be . While commenting on love by comparing it to creating a film is original and does make for... |
449,859 | 2,093,818 | 290,210 | 7 | Takes some liberties with history , but a very good idea , and a necessary film | Why this film is so seldom mentioned and so often put down is surprising , when you consider how well-made it actually is . . . but I suppose the explanation lies in the controversy of it , and peoples ' inability to accept an idea so unheard of as true . The idea in this case is that Adolf Hitler was not born the Anti... |
450,228 | 2,093,818 | 364,931 | 7 | A fine game for any Alias / action gaming fan | Something that just about anyone who's seen any of J . J . Abrams ' great spy action show Alias , particularly those that are fans of video-games ( yours truly included ) has thought is that the show would make a great game . Whether ABC approached J . J . or if it was the other way around , the decision to make a vide... |
450,961 | 2,093,818 | 98,546 | 7 | A comedy by Weird Al Yankovic , in his style directed towards his fans | This is a comedy by Weird Al Yankovic , in his style directed towards his fans . . . for better or for worse . His particular brand of hilarity makes for a real treat for any fan of his . . . however , unless you submerge yourself entirely into the mind-state of it , you'll find yourself moaning almost as often as laug... |
450,469 | 2,093,818 | 57,261 | 7 | Great , though the film-making could use some work | As I sat down to watch this with a group of young adults ( yours truly belongs in said group , as well ) one of the two people in the room who were our senior said , as the ' director ' title card came up in the opening credits , " Peter Brook ? He's a big name in theater ! " Well , I'd be lying if I claimed that I did... |
450,995 | 2,093,818 | 266,915 | 7 | More of the same | Yes , this is a lot like the first . So how you feel about it really depends on how you felt about that . Well , it gets more caricatured some , in areas , but apart from that . The plot isn't bad . It develops fine throughout . The martial arts , and action in general , is fairly entertaining , and those who dig Chan ... |
450,732 | 2,093,818 | 386,588 | 7 | Fairly good entry | When one watches romantic comedies , one knows what to expect ; we've seen enough of them over many , many years to know how they go . There's a formula , one which almost always begets movies that become popular with the genre's audience . . . not always in relation to their actual quality . How to play around with th... |
450,291 | 2,093,818 | 399,053 | 7 | Fine , for what it is | This is essentially an interview with Robert Rodriguez , in which he deals solely with the topic of HD shooting . Occasionally , as Rodriguez is talking , scenes from the movie , Once Upon a Time in Mexico , as well as material from behind the scenes is shown , emphasizing his points about HD versus traditional film . ... |
450,283 | 2,093,818 | 219,364 | 7 | He's not that particular . . . he hunts other stuff , too | I only found out about the comic book ( and have not read it ) after completing the game , but I understand that they have little to do with each other . This takes place in The Lost Land , a different dimension in which all the stuff the developers thought up and didn't want to abandon could co-exist , and you must fi... |
450,309 | 2,093,818 | 309,593 | 7 | More gory than the first , but not as good | The director obviously thought that when making a sequel , everything has to be bigger and heavier . But bigger doesn't equal better , and it definitely isn't the case here . The death scenes are unnecessary gory , and only that ; practically no build-up to the scenes , and little to no excitement . Unless you enjoy wa... |
450,376 | 2,093,818 | 120,082 | 7 | An idea worthy as a sequel , an execution that almost measures up | After Scream respectfully made fun of the slasher sub-genre , this sequel was done . In addition to more satire and clever jabs at the films , from the very first scene , this also has some material on sequels in the genre . An obvious choice , yes , but why not ? Such would not have worked in the first film , for self... |
449,905 | 2,093,818 | 430,154 | 7 | Well done . . . but Fiorella tries to fit in too much | One of the highest points of this is that , being directed by an actual fan , it looks pretty darn close to what it should . And it actually works . Yes , the title character's costume is the yellow and red that we know from the comics ( I should perhaps take this time to point out that I'm not a particular fan of DC C... |
450,002 | 2,093,818 | 84,516 | 7 | Great effects , but a better script could have done wonders | Not being a big fan of supernatural horror / thriller , I may be somewhat biased against any movie that has a theme like this , with haunting and ghosts and all , but I have to admit , I really enjoyed this film , despite not being able to pay attention to the whole thing and thinking that the script was somewhat poor ... |
450,867 | 2,093,818 | 115,624 | 7 | A thoroughly entertaining movie | I know a lot of people hate this , but I personally think they're missing the point ; It's not supposed to be taken seriously , it's just for fun . I almost rolled around on the floor laughing at times , due to the sheer stupidity of several scenes . It's so bad that it's good . It's so ' B-movie-like ' that you can't ... |
449,971 | 2,093,818 | 404,112 | 7 | Enter the mind of the professional | Right from the get-go , this sets the tone as a darker , bleaker entry . Atmospheric . Psychological . There is also strong violence and sexuality , and in larger quantities than before . Cronenberg and Fincher would probably love this . Some of these attributes remained in these , beyond this one . This is the first .... |
449,914 | 2,093,818 | 372,183 | 7 | Great action overshadows the lesser plot and shaky camera-movements | First of all , yes , everything you've heard about the shaky camera is true . of the entire film seems to be shot on hand-held camera , and the effect is headache inducing and hard to get used to . I don't know if they were trying to make it look more " real " ( as opposed to filmed / staged ) or to make it more intens... |
450,416 | 2,093,818 | 437,137 | 7 | That's some serious driving | This is a making-of type documentary , found on the second DVD of the 2-Disc release of The Matrix Reloaded , and it is entirely devoted to the section of the movie that took place on the freeway . It consists of behind the scenes footage , interviews , pre-vis and clips from the film . It's well-done , and the half ho... |
450,722 | 2,093,818 | 113,855 | 7 | Thankfully closer to a Flawless Victory than a Fatality | In case the one line summary has anyone fooled ? I'm not actually that experienced with the series . More Tekken , really . It may be more of an availability issue than one of preference . The video-game feel of this is pretty decent , if it does wind up feeling more like watching that than a film . The music and sever... |
450,652 | 2,093,818 | 437,146 | 7 | Also known as " wasted potential " or " same old story with new cover " | I happened to catch this short by coincidence , knowing nothing but the fact that it was directed by Mads Kamp Thulstrup , one of this year's graduates of The National Film School of Denmark . This was his graduation film , and being the film lover that I am , I keep an eye on rising talents , so I decided to watch it ... |
450,239 | 2,093,818 | 293,662 | 7 | All action | I remember seeing the advertisements for this film . It looked like a good popcorn-flick , plenty of action and not much else . What can I say . . . accurate ad campaign . That's exactly what this movie is . If that's a good thing or not is up for the viewer to decide , but know that if you go to see this movie , that ... |
449,972 | 2,093,818 | 339,160 | 7 | Worthy follow-up ? | I don't know if this was the first to fall into the trap . . . I would say that Commandos 2 did , as well . Sequels to difficult originals , made easier . The difference being that last-mentioned added new , truly worthwhile stuff , and is still fun as well as challenging . This comes up short in all three of those cat... |
449,884 | 2,093,818 | 486,477 | 7 | A film evolves and finds itself | After what can be argued to be an overlong and overdone opening , this special begins , letting the interviewees talk about how big the film was , in so many ways . . . the risk of it failing , the cost , the level of detail in it , the marketing , the merchandising ( notice what Nicholson is wearing ) , the media hype... |
449,885 | 2,093,818 | 486,476 | 7 | The process of developing | After the first part told us of the struggle to get the film made , this deals with the development of it . They talk about the response to Keaton ( who is a lot more stoic than one might expect from a comedic actor ) being cast , the impact of getting Nicholson ( who talks about playing The Joker , and what he thinks ... |
449,886 | 2,093,818 | 486,478 | 7 | Great | Featuring interviews with several people involved in the creation , and others , including the highly talented Frank Miller ( who comments on being true to the source material ) and Stan Lee ( introduced as " the man " , presumably in that , well , who knows about comics and doesn't know about him ? ) , this describes ... |
449,935 | 2,093,818 | 106,220 | 7 | Better than the first , a truly hilarious black comedy | While the first Addams Family had a few problems , mainly in the script and plot , this one is almost entirely flawless . Whereas the first has a tiresome , almost cliché-like plot , this one has a far more original and interesting approach to the Addams ' . I guess it is a little lame that it , once again , mainly rev... |
450,486 | 2,093,818 | 278,504 | 7 | Not Memento , but hardly without merit | I have not watched the original behind this ( I know , I know . . . and I'm even Nordic ) , but intend to do so if I get the chance . No need to keep secret the fact that I primarily made it a point to get a viewing of this because of its director . I was not disappointed . The visuals , the editing . . . effective and... |
450,328 | 2,093,818 | 211,443 | 7 | A slasher film , set in the future | You could call this movie a scientific experiment ; the creators of this sat down and thought , ' where can we place Jason Voorhees to scare people , apart from the Crystal Lake campground ? Oh , of course : in the future . ' So this is Sci-fi meets slasher-horror . The first question that comes to mind is : does it wo... |
450,777 | 2,093,818 | 1,034,047 | 7 | Cute | A companion piece , but not sequel to , The World of the End . Done by Adam , again , and his writing still manages to be clever and smart , and this , like aforementioned piece , has a situation that many will be able to relate to . Siegel plays the title character , yet again , and does not disappoint this time aroun... |
450,726 | 2,093,818 | 370,032 | 7 | Stylish action in a film that sadly suffers under the misdirected intervention of its production company | I bought this film recently , as I had found myself quite attracted by the trailer . Actually , I've wanted to see it since I first heard of it , as the idea sounded interesting . Reading a few reviews here on the site , I got to expecting an awful film . . . the majority seem to hate it . However , the Trivia page sta... |
449,836 | 2,093,818 | 308,855 | 7 | Research pays off | This is a special feature about Frequency , on the DVD of said movie . It details the actual , proved facts that they based the events and ideas on . I was personally surprised by just how much of the material in the film was very thoroughly looked into . This is comprised of five different areas , and they can each be... |
450,704 | 2,093,818 | 391,198 | 7 | I'm not sure . . . | Coming back from the cinema after seeing this film , I'm not quite sure what to make of it . I guess it was on the way back , through the dark , empty streets , that I realized something was missing . Something important , maybe even crucial , something that needs to be there after just seeing a horror film on the silv... |
450,489 | 2,093,818 | 90,350 | 7 | Not bad | I haven't read the book by Robert Daley ( nor , it would seem , any of the others of his ) . If you seek comparisons to it , you are hereby kindly advised to direct your barking towards another source of wood . I've only watched one other film by this director ( Desperate Hours . . . and a quick peek at my review or my... |
450,277 | 2,093,818 | 377,812 | 7 | Better still | While Sex definitely was an accomplishment , this not only matches it , but tops it . Chad's abilities and scope have grown , and it shows . He utilizes more interesting story-telling methods and presents a grander plot . The acting is mostly good . The cinematography is great almost all the way . There are a lot of in... |
450,860 | 2,093,818 | 164,212 | 7 | Pretty good , well-acted , but the ending seems flat | For a crime-drama , this is quite good , and very well-acted . The plot is pretty good , has a good pace ( I don't think I was ever bored , not even a little ) , and is told in a good way . I really liked the non-linear , pause-action way of telling the story , in particular the recaps of the various points in the stor... |
450,635 | 2,093,818 | 102,316 | 7 | A good film that could have been great , had it not been pushed to be mainstream | Before I go on with this review , let me share exactly why a film like this means so much to me , and why I can relate so much to it . The film is about a boy genius , a young man with exceptional intelligence and skills . I don't think it's ever clearly stated in the film , but his personality and his intelligence poi... |
450,624 | 2,093,818 | 203,755 | 7 | A great black comedy | This is a very good black comedy , with a great view on how different people have a different perception of the same situations . The three main characters each met a girl named Jewel , played by Liv Tyler , who is a different male fantasy for each of the three men . Each of the three men go through the same situations... |
450,202 | 2,093,818 | 96,548 | 7 | Not the second season , but not bad | After the disappointment of the third season , I was hoping for some improvement . . . that's what I got , no doubt about it , but the question is ' how much ' . Bringing back McInnerny and Fry was definitely a good idea , both are great additions to the cast , and both play different characters than before so it doesn... |
450,714 | 2,093,818 | 265,459 | 7 | Utterly event-less , but apart from that , not bad | This may make you think twice about having the local place process your photos . This was neither something I had huge expectations for nor figured would turn out a major let-down . Just know that what I write in this review is not out of bitterness . With that said , this isn't a downright poor film . The big complain... |
450,033 | 2,093,818 | 216,621 | 7 | Good adaptation of Dickens ' classic Christmas story | While I do think Alastair Sim from the ' 51 version of the story , ' Scrooge ' , looked and acted the part of Ebenezer Scrooge better than Patrick Stewart does in this version , this is possibly the better film overall . I'll have to see ' Scrooge ' again to be certain . I haven't read the original novel , but I hear t... |
450,709 | 2,093,818 | 110,074 | 7 | Overlong , overacted and overdone . . . | This movie starts off pretty good . . . we get a few introductory scenes that are quite entertaining , and the film moves very fast . . . then , at about half an hour into the film , it drops tremendously in quality . Every single character suddenly speaks as if he / she only had a minute left to live , and wants despe... |
450,517 | 2,093,818 | 164,184 | 7 | Math does scare a lot of people | I have not read the novel ( I understand that this follows the / his style well , however ) , and all I know about the series is what I gathered from the three prior films . I suppose a good place to start is admitting that neither I , nor my fiancée whom I watched it with , particularly care for or understand the cast... |
449,928 | 2,093,818 | 391,240 | 7 | Pretty darn good | This is a featurette on the second of the 2 discs of the DVD release of Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machines . It is made up of interviews , behind-the-scenes footage and clips from the movie , all cut together rather well . The music is well-chosen , every single piece , and helps drive it . For thirteen minutes straig... |
451,005 | 2,093,818 | 139,809 | 7 | Excellent idea , good execution | This is one of several films , released just around the coming of the new millennium , that are all based on a single concept , when you compare them . The interesting thing here is the execution of the concept , and where it's taken . I haven't watched every one of the other movies , but I haven't heard of any of them... |
449,986 | 2,093,818 | 1,018,682 | 7 | How'd they do that ? Well , here's the chance to find out | This is a special feature found on the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD of Batman Returns , released in 2005 , and , as the title suggests , deals with the visual effects of the film . It consists of some interview bits with three people who worked on the creation of said FX ( Fink seems to do most of the talking herein , an... |
449,989 | 2,093,818 | 1,018,687 | 7 | It's all about The Penguin , baby | In spite of one half of the meaning of the title of this , it doesn't exclusively deal with the process of applying make-up on Danny DeVito , for the character of The Penguin . This is a a special feature found on the 2-Disc Special Edition release of Batman Returns , which came in 2005 , and revolves around said chara... |
450,193 | 2,093,818 | 354,408 | 7 | Fly on the wall | This is a feature-length documentary found on the 2-Disc Set of Star Wars : Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace . Coming in at just over an hour , this takes us through basically the entire film-making process on said title . I'm not sure there's really any aspect of the production not seen here . Casting , rehearsing , aud... |
450,382 | 2,093,818 | 164,179 | 7 | Not every addition works , or is a good one | This is an add-on for Star Wars : Jedi Knight , and I've read that it was released a mere four months after the game . That's . . . not very long , and it sadly shows . Little of the game doesn't come across as rushed . Where the levels were complex , but nicely done , throughout both single player and multi-player of ... |
450,019 | 2,093,818 | 423,822 | 7 | Interesting | This short , featured on the third season set of Alias , J . J . Abrams ' hit spy show , details something that may very well have happened during the course of the show . . . and it's presented in a crisp visual style , the way only something animated could look . It's more like a living comic book than the show , as ... |
450,589 | 2,093,818 | 381,612 | 7 | This inspired me to make the most well-liked of my own short films | That may be the most positive thing I can say about this short . . . but it's hardly the only one . This makes for a fun couple of minutes , and the idea and execution are well-done . The plot is simple , but sustains your interest for the duration . Pacing is good , this doesn't overstay its welcome . Acting isn't bad... |
450,391 | 2,093,818 | 119,528 | 7 | Carrey at his best | I have to admit , I'm probably a little biased with this movie , as it contains two of the things I love the most in any movie ; court scenes and Jim Carrey . I'll try my best to be objective in this review , though . The plot is good , and as the film barely takes 90 minutes it's fairly fast-paced ( well , for a Jim C... |
450,828 | 2,093,818 | 119,320 | 7 | I wouldn't go in . . . no matter how long it had been since I'd eaten | Let me not mince words . . . that's a rather silly thing to mince , anyway , why not mince meat , instead , unless you were a vegetarian , or didn't want to be asked the relatively appropriate question " have you been mincing ? " ( credit for that joke goes to " ' Allo ' Allo " ) . . . but I digress . What I wanted to ... |
450,155 | 2,093,818 | 383,686 | 7 | High marks for ingenuity and originality . . . but the game is still disappointing | This is interesting ; Sega , the creators of countless highly entertaining games and the undisputed king of arcade gaming , who have led this series from the beginning ( from back when the first The House of the Dead was just a machine in the arcades ) either felt that they needed to add something new to the franchise ... |
450,839 | 2,093,818 | 82,495 | 7 | Definitely one of the better sequels , but still not the original | Considering what this film had to live up to , considering the standards set by the first , which was , and is , definitely the best slasher movie I've ever seen , this film wasn't too bad . Whereas the first had little to no gore and blood , this one has a pretty standard amount of it . Of course , that was to be expe... |
450,802 | 2,093,818 | 882,985 | 7 | Futuristic RPG-action in an entertaining and addictive , if not wholly original , game | I'm usually not into RPG . I don't mean running around in the woods pretending to be in medieval times , fighting with toy weapons and imagining yourself to be an elf or an orc . . . that I'm not into either , but that's not the point ( though the reasons are fairly similar ) . It is only in rare cases that I am intere... |
451,013 | 2,093,818 | 372,034 | 7 | This is not what you might think | This featurette is found on the X-Men 1 . 5 DVD of 2003 , and perhaps people expecting something else from it explains the , at the time of writing this , 10 votes for 1 . It's not the overall look , colours or production design . No , this deals with the make-up and costumes , with the former of the two taking up almo... |
450,296 | 2,093,818 | 109,831 | 7 | Pretty good British romantic comedy | From the very beginning , it's clear that this is a different kind of romantic comedy . The characters are more thoroughly developed and the general tone is quite different from what one is used to from this genre . I mainly watched this because I had nothing else planned , it aired on TV , and I enjoy the work of Rich... |
450,264 | 2,093,818 | 389,152 | 7 | A look into the Python group , specifically the creation of the film | This is a rather good documentary on the making of The Meaning of Life , featured on the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD release of said production , released in 2003 . It is comprised entirely of interview bits with all six , not just the five surviving ( R . I . P . , Graham Chapman ) Python members , not all from the sam... |
450,337 | 2,093,818 | 109,836 | 7 | Scary , graphic and quite good version of the story | Let me start off stating that I've never read the original novel by Mary Shelley ( though from what I hear , this is one of the most accurate versions , as far as film goes ) . This is a very good story of how man tries to ' beat ' or fight death , and of how a lack of concern for the repercussions of your actions can ... |
