450,049 | 2,093,818 | 168,453 | 8 | Great collection of masterful parodies | This is a collection of videos that should be experienced by any fan of Weird Al Yankovic . It has stuff dating back to 1983 , and as recent as 1996 , and in addition to twenty videos , it also has the ( albeit sans actual credits , apparently due to legal issues ) opening credit sequence of Spy Hard , for which he did... |
450,938 | 2,093,818 | 211,915 | 8 | Charming . . . but I don't think I " got " it | After hearing so many wildly positive comments on this film , I decided to watch it . . . and when I found it on the bargain rack ( we aren't quite as clever with sales rhymes here in Denmark ) , I bought it . While the film captured me immediately with its unique style and the interesting , amusing story-telling , I f... |
450,312 | 2,093,818 | 101,862 | 8 | Pretty good Steve Martin comedy | I re-watched this movie today after seeing it a couple of years ago . I didn't remember half of what happened in the movie , but even the stuff that I remembered amused me again . Steve Martin is his usual self , very funny , great body language . . . simply great . It's been a while since I've seen such a good , not l... |
450,286 | 2,093,818 | 115,141 | 8 | Lucas , are you paying attention ? This is the way to do a prequel | After the success of Command & Conquer , this nifty number was created . . . Red Alert . The prequel to the war depicted in aforementioned game . Each of these games bring something new and interesting to the franchise , each has a running theme , and I would say that the theme of this is time traveling . It is used fo... |
450,788 | 2,093,818 | 277,933 | 8 | Set a standard that I've yet to see surpassed | Among the multiple noteworthy things in this is how thoroughly and well-achieved the Manga / Animé aspect of it is . Everything in this is defined by that . The style is just plain cool . There are some bugs / glitches , but no show-stoppers . . . most of them are limited to something that is not entirely aligned , and... |
450,715 | 2,093,818 | 218,505 | 8 | Made-for-TV does not need to have negative connotations . . . just look at this movie | I haven't watched too many other efforts by Frankenheimer . . . unless I'm terribly mistaken , the only ones I have are his The Hire entry and Ronin . I keep finding myself impressed by him and seeking out what he's directed . The man did some mighty fine work ( R . I . P . ) . This may be my first exposure to Gambon ,... |
449,757 | 2,093,818 | 1,033,571 | 8 | A unique entry in the franchise | The most noticeable thing about this game is how different it is from all the others in the series . It's something of an attempt , and one that pays off big time . Instead of an alien environment ( planet or spacecraft ) , surrounded by outer space aliens , this finds Commander Keen in a nightmarish dream-world , wher... |
449,878 | 2,093,818 | 119,008 | 8 | Great gangster / crime drama | When I heard about the main actors in this film , I was already sure that it had to be good ; with names like Al Pacino and Michael Madsen , you can't go totally wrong . Johnny Depp is also pretty good , in some films , this definitely being one of them . I have to admit , not having seen too many good gangster films ,... |
450,711 | 2,093,818 | 63,522 | 8 | Chilling and effective horror film , one of Polanski's best | After putting this film off for some time , mainly due to my strong dislike for any religion-related material , I finally pulled myself together and watched it . I'm glad I did . Very , very glad . From the opening credits , which feature a chilling lullaby , I was hooked . The film is effective without actually showin... |
450,234 | 2,093,818 | 86,465 | 8 | Unusually good 80's comedy . . . contains a lot of sad truth | I couldn't remember much of this movie when I borrowed it from a friend to watch for the second time . . . I can't have been very old when I first saw this , because there were not much more than one scene that I recognized . Even the title seemed new to me . Furthermore , I don't recall thinking about the film . . . a... |
451,019 | 2,093,818 | 120,903 | 8 | The core is intact | I base this on the 1 . 5 DVD . One option of that is to watch this with six extended scenes ( that add character moments , and vary in quality ) and 17 behind the scenes segments ( that all automatically come on at their specific times ) , and I don't believe you can view any of these 23 ( all of which last between 30 ... |
451,027 | 2,093,818 | 247,199 | 8 | Evokes strong emotion | I saw this movie with my film class . I attend a school that is kind of the stepping stone to further education , one where those who don't really know what they're going to do with their life , what they're going to be later on come to spend some time , getting guidance and being taught valuable skills . These kids ( ... |
449,877 | 2,093,818 | 195,685 | 8 | Pretty good authentic law drama | OK , so Julia Roberts is not the best actress , and , admittedly , this probably doesn't contain the best acting she has pulled off in her career , but I think she does good enough in this movie . She plays a nearly totally independent woman who fights for a cause , that she feels is right , which costs her a lot of ti... |
450,798 | 2,093,818 | 372,741 | 9 | If I hadn't already been into film-making when I first watched this . . . I would have been before it was over | Robert Rodriguez has always impressed me . He works every job he can on his productions , and manages to make fun , cool and entertaining films for much less than they look like they cost , and while his writing may sometimes lack something , his movies are almost always worth watching . The fact that he was initially ... |
451,018 | 2,093,818 | 290,334 | 9 | The war has begun | I base this on the 2-Disc release . It has started , and it simply rocks . This whole thing builds on almost all of what the first set up and did , in so many ways , and in fact goes places only a follow-up could . Now that the world and the universe have been established , they could afford to do interesting stuff wit... |
450,856 | 2,093,818 | 352,127 | 9 | Probably " Anden " ' s best stand-up , on one single DV | After having seen each of the four stand-up sets on this DVD at least five or six times , I'm still laughing at most of the jokes . That surely defines great comedy . Anden's excellent , energetic , and somewhat aggressive style of comedy is presented at the peak of his talent in this little collection . It contains on... |
449,969 | 2,093,818 | 433,390 | 9 | Near-perfect execution | As is more often than not true for my reviews of VGs , this is based on the PC version . This title is generally met with positive response . That is well-deserved . In almost every way , this is the greatest since the first , and in many , it's even better . This is incredibly smooth , every aspect of it , it's unbeli... |
450,255 | 2,093,818 | 409,459 | 9 | Grand | I was completely hooked from the first page . Obviously , this , as is the cardinal rule with adaptations , particularly from one medium to the other , can never completely match what the source was . With that out of the way . . . this gets a remarkable amount of it right . Dr . Manhattan ? Couldn't have been much clo... |
450,819 | 2,093,818 | 108,906 | 9 | I'm . . . I'm speechless | This turned out to be a truly haunting , hypnotic and gripping tale . . . how could it have eluded me for so long ? Yes , I know , I said in the one line summary that I'm speechless . . . and that is my initial reaction . . . but that would make this review awfully short , wouldn't it ? I remember seeing part of this a... |
450,757 | 2,093,818 | 87,843 | 9 | Excellent gangster film from a great film-maker | Sergio Leone is truly a magnificent director ; I hadn't realized the magnitude of his talent and abilities until I saw this great film . The film deals with a group of friends , who meet each other and start a partnership as children . They start out as criminals , and end up as criminals . The story is excellent , and... |
451,001 | 2,093,818 | 447,199 | 9 | It does indeed rock . . . especially when told this well | Many shows strive to both entertain and inform . Few succeed as well as this does . Full of great music and , more importantly , facts ( always told in a straightforward manner , with no sides taken , no ideologies or beliefs neither praised nor put down ) , this is quite simply one of the very best ways to learn about... |
449,783 | 2,093,818 | 78,788 | 9 | Hard to sit through and not terribly good ending | The only two problems with this movie are , as the one line summary states , the length and the ending . It's so long that unless you're very determined or very patient , you're not gonna sit through it to the end ( particularly not if you're watching the " redux " version which I was ( un ? ) lucky enough to see on TV... |
450,151 | 2,093,818 | 80,678 | 9 | A hard movie to watch , but a truly great one as well | I haven't read or heard anything about the story of Joseph Carey Merrick , aka John Merrick , aka The Elephant Man before seeing this movie , so I can't say if it's accurate or not . However , from everything I've heard , it seems to be as close to the original story as it can get . I hadn't seen any other films by Dav... |
450,865 | 2,093,818 | 113,613 | 9 | A good movie , for people who can enjoy a fairly intelligent movie contains spoilers | I have to say , after watching this movie for the six / seventh time , I finally get it . Which is what is amazing about it ; you don't figure it out the first time , even though it may seem obvious at first . It is an interesting portrayal of how people who feel strongly about their views , evolve into what they hate ... |
450,953 | 2,093,818 | 47,478 | 9 | An amazing piece of film , but the length alone will discourage many possible viewers | I haven't seen any of Akira Kurosawa's other films , but I hear that this is his best , so maybe that's a good place to start ( and maybe not ) . From the very first frame I was captivated by this film , and very interested in it . Then after about five minutes of watching , I realized how slow it was moving ; " Fine ,... |
450,238 | 2,093,818 | 375,679 | 9 | No one is good or bad | From the moment I heard of this film , I knew I had to see it . I could hardly wait . Luckily , I didn't have to wait for long ; now , two days later , I got to watch it . I must say , as high expectations as I had for the film , I am still thoroughly impressed and very short of in awe . The film offers no escape from ... |
450,801 | 2,093,818 | 856,087 | 9 | Fun , cute puzzle game | Brain-teasers are easy enough to come by . From the cross-word puzzles of varying difficulty found if you look for them to the riddles that many people ( so many that they've assembled books of riddles ) scramble their brain trying to solve . . . and yet I would have to say that Lemmings is probably the first - and fif... |
450,003 | 2,093,818 | 60,196 | 9 | A great western , but drags a little too much , especially on repeated viewings | This , the third and final part of Sergio Leone's famous " Dollars " or " Man with no name " Trilogy was promised to be the epic chapter ; that proves to be entirely true . However , despite Leone's talented direction , the film seems to drag in some scenes , and the length is almost unbearable on multiple viewings . T... |
450,152 | 2,093,818 | 119,488 | 9 | Very good , but too slow and overly complicated | I decided to check out this film after hearing many good things about it , among others that it was the best film Curtis Hanson has made . . . and since Hanson also directed 8 Mile , a movie I enjoyed very much and have seen several times , I thought it would be worth watching . I wasn't mistaken . What I wasn't prepar... |
450,367 | 2,093,818 | 308,956 | 9 | Excellent cyberpunk-action-survival-horror-role-playing-game-hybrid | I just finished playing this through for the . . . what is it by now ? Fifth , sixth , maybe tenth ? I don't know , and very much to the game's credit , I don't care . It's such a giant , full experience that there's far too much for anyone to be able to take it all in on the first time playing it through . The game is... |
450,473 | 2,093,818 | 88,993 | 9 | More gore than Night , less action than Dawn | By far the most claustrophobic of the trilogy ( and possible . . . of all time ? ) , this third and final film of George Romero's so-called Dead Trilogy takes us beyond the realization of the enemy which was Night of the Living Dead and fighting the losing battle which was Dawn of the Dead to evading and , more importa... |
450,890 | 2,093,818 | 372,073 | 9 | Excellent adults Christmas calendar from Anden | As a Christmas calendar , this has very little to do with Christmas , but it has just enough mentions of it to convince you that it is in fact a Christmas calendar . It's kind of more anti-Christmas than Christmas . It has a lot of what Americans would call " R-rated material " , and it has a thoroughly adult tone . Th... |
450,543 | 2,093,818 | 150,662 | 9 | As close to perfection as a teen movie can get , in my opinion | After looking for this film for a while , in order to see it again and comment on it ( re-view it to review it . . . heh ) after having seen it once before and really liking it , I finally found it at the library and rented it . It's the best teen love movie I've ever seen , and quite possibly the best teen movie ever ... |
450,262 | 2,093,818 | 84,787 | 9 | You really think you can trust the person at your side ? | This is a serious injection of pure paranoia . If you don't get anxious and ask important questions about what exactly happens that we don't get to see , and when , during the course of this , then you , my friend , were not properly engaged , and , let's be brutally honest here , this film probably wasn't meant for yo... |
450,160 | 2,093,818 | 20,629 | 9 | Effective anti-war film . . . they don't call it the best of its kind for nothing | The original anti-war film and visualization of the Remarque novel . If this doesn't make you hate war , it is safe to say that nothing will . I watched the remake of ' 79 before this , and that allows me to draw comparisons ( something which the high quality of both films demands ) . Certain decisions were made in the... |
450,232 | 2,093,818 | 78,966 | 9 | Had an impact when it was released . . . and it hasn't lost it over the almost three decades that have passed | The first thing you see in this film is a static angle ( one which will be repeated later in the film ) , depicting the chaos going on ( unseen to the audience ) in a studio that airs news . Soon after , Fonda's character's typical story is shown , in that same angle . Don't let this mislead you ; the film is not about... |
450,957 | 2,093,818 | 110,632 | 10 | Cinematic excellence | I haven't seen too many Oliver Stone pictures ; JFK , Scarface ( which he wrote , not directed ) , and this one . I don't know too much about his directorial style , but if any of his other films are like this one , I'll have to watch more of them . The visual style is amazing . The whole film has sort of a psychedelic... |
450,731 | 2,093,818 | 212,448 | 10 | Simply put : a classic | I remember playing this as a kid . . . in fact , compared to how much I played it ( which was considerably less than Commander Keen 4 , due to availability ) , it is the game that has stayed with me the longest . After a brief text introduction , this game has you playing as an unnamed stranger . . . thrown into a dung... |
450,562 | 2,093,818 | 72,684 | 10 | A tale of love , war and power | While this is , in my opinion , not the best of Kubrick's films , it is in no way a bad film of his . . . some have claimed it is overlong and dull , but I don't think so . From what I've heard , it does the novel justice , and I believe that is what Kubrick went after , more than anything else . That is admirable , fo... |
449,931 | 2,093,818 | 103,064 | 10 | There's a reason this is so appreciated | Let it be said right away : There is at least one obvious issue with this . That doesn't have to include the fact that this is one of those sequels that are so much like the original that one could argue that it's partially a remake . What I'm referring to is that going by the first , it technically shouldn't exist . I... |
450,994 | 2,093,818 | 830,361 | 10 | How on Earth does this manage to be the pure , unspoiled chunk of excellence that it is ? | What can I say ? This , I kid you not , hooked me right away . It gets going immediately , without skipping on development , of characters ( all of which are credible and plenty of which are memorable ) , of plot ( the best new sci-fi I've seen on a visual representation in recent memory , and moves rather well ) and ,... |
449,869 | 2,093,818 | 266,697 | 10 | In one word : Spectacular | This movie is amazing . I honestly went to see it because of the fighting scenes , but the rest of the movie was great too . Definitely Tarantino's best work ever . The way the story is told is typical for Tarantino , but it works better here than in Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs . It makes the characters actions a l... |
450,717 | 2,093,818 | 246,578 | 10 | How is your depth perception ? | Repeated viewings of this is part of the requirement to fully appreciate this . Also included are genuine effort to get into it , thought applied to putting it all together , and obviously sufficient attention span . Reading the FAQ and visiting the site for it , and working through the puzzles found there , also help ... |
450,316 | 2,093,818 | 338,013 | 10 | Surreal and truly beautiful | Wow . . . this movie had me spellbound . Deep , intimate film . If one wasn't already convinced that Jim Carrey is an actor , not just a comedian , one would be so after watching this . Winslet does great , as well , as does everyone else that I can think of ( Dunst also impressed me ) . This is the third film of Charl... |
449,764 | 2,093,818 | 495,237 | 10 | Beautiful . . . an amazing mix of old cinema with new , in a film about perception | Having been a big fan of Anders Matthesen for years , and having enjoyed his acting ( and hoping he'd do more than the sparse amount seen in his stand-up performances and the Christmas calendar he created ) , I was excited to see if he could pull off a lead . . . if he could carry a feature production . I'm very happy ... |
450,685 | 2,093,818 | 83,907 | 10 | A worthy contender for ' greatest horror film ever ' | I don't know why it took so long for me to watch this film . . . I think it's the fact that I've always been told that it's a gore-fest and not really anything else . I can tell you now ; I have been grossly misinformed . This is one of those films that everyone who's into the genre should see . If you as much as ' lik... |
449,778 | 2,093,818 | 56,592 | 10 | Amazing film | After hearing nothing but critical acclaim for this film , and the book it was based on , I finally got to see it . I am quite amazed at how well done this film is , and how timeless the theme is . I haven't read the book , but I'm considering it , just to see if there are any details that were left out . The story is ... |
450,922 | 2,093,818 | 363,163 | 10 | A chillingly accurate portrayal of Der Führer and the fall of The Third Reich | Adolf Hitler . The very name is enough to send a chill down your spine . Not because of what it is or was , but because of what it stands for , what we involuntarily and immediately think of when we are reminded of him . The deaths of so many people and the cause of so much evil . Now , almost sixty years after his dea... |
450,896 | 2,093,818 | 120,689 | 10 | A true masterpiece | Just like the summary says ; this movie is truly a masterpiece , a modern work of art . The movie is a modern retelling , or a modernization of the story of Jesus . While I never have been , and never will be a Cristian , something in this movie really spoke to me . It had a wonderful message , one that is hard to rete... |
450,402 | 2,093,818 | 120,586 | 10 | Poignant piece on hate | This movie has left me speechless . Now , to fully grasp how gargantuan ( yes , I like Kill Bill ; sue me ) this effect is , you must understand how fond I am of talking . I can talk for hours . You may find yourself listening to me and wondering if and when I ever stop to breathe . Sidenote , that happens almost seaml... |
450,452 | 2,093,818 | 32,976 | 10 | Fantastic Hitchcock , one of his best | This is Hitchcock at his best ; just when you think that you've figured everything out , you are treated to a twist that completely turns your perception of the film around . This isn't the twists of modern movies , where you're immediately awe-struck by the sheer unlikeliness of them , but rather twists that send a ch... |
450,111 | 2,093,818 | 180,093 | 10 | Intentionally cruel . . . a film you cannot watch without being emotionally involved | I had not heard anything about this film , before seeing it ; nothing about the plot , nothing about the actors , not even anything about the general idea of it . . . all I knew was that it dealt with drug addiction . I had not seen Darren Aronofsky's first film , the highly popular Pi either . I bought it , for a reas... |
449,860 | 2,093,818 | 166,924 | 10 | Excellent , but not for everyone | This is the second movie by David Lynch I've seen ( not counting The Elephant Man , his only non-surreal movie ) . The other one is Lost Highway . Because of this , but not only because of this , the following review will contain a lot of comparing between the two . As someone brought up ( on the message boards or in a... |
450,263 | 2,093,818 | 468,569 | 10 | Honestly , even with the flaws , this is amazing | Obviously this has been extremely hyped . And while the overall reception is positive , there are those that hate this . I have no problem with these people , and I won't claim that this is all the way perfect - one can wonder if any film could truly be - but this does have undeniably impressive aspects . This is an ex... |
449,821 | 2,093,818 | 154,420 | 10 | A highly creative piece of film-making | I have seen this film more than I've bothered to keep track of . That's not to say that I've seen it an unusual amount of times ( it's probably not more than three ) , just that I've never bothered to keep track . Anyway , my point is , every time , it's like seeing it for the first time . I keep discovering things tha... |
450,148 | 2,093,818 | 62,622 | 10 | I am speechless . . . | Having just seen this fantastic film , I'm left puzzled , amazed , impressed and in complete and utter awe of Kubrick's cinematic genius . I had not expected anything to impress me as much as A Clockwork Orange , but I was pleasantly surprised . While I do find A Clockwork Orange to be a better film , I must say that t... |
449,936 | 2,093,818 | 286,585 | 10 | Without comparison , the best game I've ever played in my entire life | I've heard a lot of people say about a lot of different games that they think that one particular is the best they've played , and sometimes they even play it through several times , because they like it so much . One thing never fails about most other games that are called the best , though : they get outdated . The p... |
449,880 | 2,093,818 | 378,194 | 10 | As big a masterpiece as the first was | I was very excited when I got into the theater to watch this . I had reasonably high expectations , from the fact that I found the first to be so magnificent . I must say , all of my expectations were met , and I was very pleasantly surprised . It is as much a masterpiece , a work of art , as the first was . The first ... |
450,556 | 2,093,818 | 57,012 | 10 | Still laughing , long past the end credits . . . | Who'd have thought that Kubrick had such a great sense of humor ? I mean , in most of his films , there are snippets of humor , and Barry Lyndon has a definite irony , but I hadn't expected him to be able to direct such a hilarious and thoroughly entertaining comedy . I had known for a while that this was the highest r... |
450,191 | 2,093,818 | 80,684 | 10 | The best of all six | Where the first was an introduction to this vast universe , this is a further adventure in it , and an expansion of it . New worlds , creatures and technologies . Like its predecessor , this has something for everyone , and this is a stronger film . . . perhaps the most so , of the entire series . Kershner is undoubted... |
450,192 | 2,093,818 | 76,759 | 10 | The Force is strong in this one . . . it's loved for a reason | I think what makes this so rightfully popular is that it has something for everyone . It's fun , exciting , epic , with strong characters and clever lines . It manages to integrate all of the elements without anything feeling like it was just stuck in there , and doesn't talk down to anyone . There's no upper or lower ... |
450,254 | 2,093,818 | 384,444 | 10 | Incredible | This accomplishes two things : It reinvigorates the excitement of the best of these , after the less-than-stellar " 3D " . And it succeeds in doing what that one intended to : bringing them into the third dimension , maintaining the fun and smarts , and even updating it some . Don't get me wrong . . . they had the righ... |
449,968 | 2,093,818 | 80,455 | 10 | Someone found the fountain of youth and doused this baby in it , ' cause it sure ain't getting old | I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched this . I can say truthfully that me and my father have sat down and seen it together for over ten years . And I can assure you , it never seems less enjoyable . Every scene ( honestly , find me a single one that should be taken out , and I will be utterly baffled ) is gre... |
450,403 | 2,093,818 | 22,100 | 10 | This film is a masterpiece . . . and I don't use that term lightly | My father has often told me about this movie . It's been available for next to nothing at the local DVD / CD shop here for longer than I can remember , and not long ago , I finally pulled myself together and bought it . Today , we sat down to watch it . I must say , this movie astounded and impressed me . From the firs... |
449,922 | 2,093,818 | 33,467 | 10 | A great piece of cinema , a magnificent example of storytelling | I've heard so much told about Citizen Kane and Orson Welles , so I finally decided to get the film , and find out if it really is all that it's cracked up to be . . . I must say , it's great . The plot is great , and the way it's told is amazing . The story is first summed up in a matter of minutes , about 15 , to be m... |
450,203 | 2,093,818 | 395,169 | 10 | A disturbing and unsettling piece of truth and cinema | Ten years after the atrocities and genocide in Rwanda , Africa , a movie is made about the man who helped lessen the loss . The man who gave everything he had in order to save complete strangers . Who put his life on the line for his fellow human beings . I couldn't possibly put to words how hard it was for me to hold ... |
450,918 | 2,093,818 | 133,093 | 10 | Could this possibly have been any better ? | I base this on the Ultimate 10-Disc Set . An entire decade after this came out , it still holds up incredibly well . It simply has so much to offer . . . all that food for thought , different beliefs , tons of themes that are explored and such immense room for interpretation , with very little in this being certain or ... |
450,456 | 2,093,818 | 47,396 | 10 | One of the greatest Hitchcock films , but not his best | While Psycho is still my favorite Hitchcock film , this comes very , very close to that . Having only seen the made-for-TV remake starring Christopher Reeves , I was quite excited to see this , as it's referred to by many as one of the ( if not the ) greatest Hitchcock thriller . Now , while I still prefer Psycho over ... |
450,156 | 2,093,818 | 253,474 | 10 | Breathtaking | It's rare to see a film of such quality . Polanski has been directing marvelous films for decades , with effective editing and his seemingly unique cinematography . When a brilliant director goes to work on a very personal project , it is almost invariably a certainty that their heart and soul will be put into making i... |
450,630 | 2,093,818 | 53,291 | 10 | One of the best romantic comedies of all time | For being such an old film , this was hilarious . It's especially filled with little nice touches , things than the moment when you see them , you can't help but laugh . A lot of the humor makes fun of the mob , a little of it is even black humor . When I sat down to watch it , I had no idea it was so unbelievably funn... |
449,850 | 2,093,818 | 137,523 | 10 | Interesting and unsettling , possibly David's finest hour | I haven't read the novel , nor do I know how good this is compared to it , but the author has said that this made him ashamed of the book , which can only really be a positive thing in this case . It's quite difficult to comment on this without giving something essential away . Being a fan of David Fincher and having h... |
450,128 | 2,093,818 | 71,562 | 10 | About as good as the first one , but mainly because of De Niro | It's rare to see a sequel that is as good as the first ; it's even rarer to see the two acting veterans , De Niro and Pacino , together in a film . This is the only film that delivers both . I loved the first Godfather film , for it's acting talent , for it's cinematography , and for it's fantastic story . The acting i... |
450,407 | 2,093,818 | 73,486 | 10 | Touching and moving , a great cinematic experience | Jack Nicholson is a great actor . No , not a great actor , a spectacular actor . This is a film from fairly early in his career , as well as it is for several other actors in this film , who later have had long , great careers too , including Danny DeVito , Christopher Lloyd and Brad Dourif . The film has some unforget... |
450,767 | 2,093,818 | 310,793 | 10 | Provocative and thought-provoking , though somewhat biased | I haven't seen any other feature film length documentaries of Michael Moore's , nor have I read any of his books . I mainly watched this because the subject interests me , and because I had seen one or two short documentaries by Moore , and I enjoyed his direct , provocative and uncompromising fashion of making documen... |
450,275 | 2,093,818 | 408,236 | 10 | The cleanest shave you'll ever know | This is the third musical by Burton I've seen , and I've thoroughly enjoyed all three . This is the first live-action ( I shall leave you in suspense no longer : the other two are The Nightmare Before Christmas ( granted , he didn't direct it , but still ) and The Corpse Bride ( which may be the only other two musicals... |
450,483 | 2,093,818 | 369,702 | 10 | Amazing | This may very well be the best of Amenábar's work to date . I've seen all he's completed thus far , as of and including Tesis . I've yet to truly dislike or find myself unable to see genuine value in what I've watched that he's helmed . They are all movies of questions , not answers , as he , himself , puts it . And th... |
451,023 | 2,093,818 | 106,308 | 10 | In a word : awesome | The Evil Dead series evolved from being cult , low-budget horror to comedy . . . medieval adventure comedy , to be precise . The first film was basically pure horror , the second was horror-comedy with a nice slice of action . . . now , third time around , the slice is thicker , the horror is nearly absent and we've go... |
450,632 | 2,093,818 | 144,117 | 10 | Great unusual action film | Very intelligent action movie , about two Irish brothers who kill ' sinners ' to punish them . The movie is a bit different from the typical action movie , as it doesn't have car-chases or explosions . The action consists of stylish shooting sprees . It also has a fairly original idea that is utilized in nearly every a... |
450,435 | 2,093,818 | 209,144 | 10 | Unique , brilliant and deep | Ever since I first heard of this film , I was intrigued and wanted to find out if it was really pulled off as well as everyone said . Incredibly enough , despite how sky-high my expectations were for this film , I was pleasantly surprised and my expectations were definitely exceeded . As you probably already know , thi... |
450,441 | 2,093,818 | 38,355 | 10 | Compelling plot , black & white , with plenty of sharp dialog and interesting characters . . . everything a great noir film needs | This is one of the first real noir films I've seen , and I must say , it was every bit as good as I had expected . I have been interested in the genre for a while , after seeing many attempts at noir , and quite a few neo-noir film that impressed and entertained me . Still , nothing beats , or even matches , the real t... |
450,553 | 2,093,818 | 60,107 | 10 | At a loss | How to describe in words all there is in this ? I'm not sure , but I will give it a shot . This is the first piece by the director that I've seen . I don't know much about Russia , their history or the culture ( which , I've come to realize , may be a prerequisite to follow it , at least being informed about the time a... |
450,822 | 2,093,818 | 84,868 | 10 | Amazing | A biographic short , Vincent is haunting , eery , and to those of us with even a hint of a macabre sense of humor , laugh-out-loud funny . Burton details what certainly comes strongly across like it were his own childhood , or his perception thereof , the story of a boy who dreams of being Vincent Price . . . made deli... |
450,554 | 2,093,818 | 71,315 | 10 | A noir masterpiece , possibly even a timeless classic . . . | While I don't care too much for Roman Polanski's style of direction ( maybe I'll grow to like it eventually , maybe not ) , I can't deny that this is a truly great film . Jack Nicholson really shines through in his role , and his acting in this film perfectly fits the character . . . his shark smile , his voice , his t... |
450,118 | 2,093,818 | 371,746 | 10 | I concur with anyone who argues this to be the best superhero film | Why hasn't Favreau been directing all of them ? I can't claim to see much of anything to criticize in this . I'll just quickly say that I am not an actual fan of this hero , but I do like him , and enjoy reading comics featuring him , even the ones centered on him . Based on what I do know of him , this largely nails t... |
450,799 | 2,093,818 | 194,376 | 10 | Do horror games get any better than this ? | Right from the long , fully animated intro which marks the very first time you are treated to the game's haunting and nearly hypnotic score to the very end of the game itself , Silent Hill had me . I was fully immersed and completely into it . The plot is interesting and well-written , and it develops very nicely throu... |
449,992 | 2,093,818 | 1,060,277 | 10 | Excellent from start to finish | I haven't followed the hype-campaign for this , so I can't really say if it's good to watch this if you have done so or not . I was interested in this from when I first saw the teaser trailer . Yes , this does evoke images of . Yes , the entire film is presented as something that was taped on a camcorder . And yes , th... |
450,373 | 2,093,818 | 381,125 | 10 | Incredibly funny and clever | I don't think I've ever laughed so much during two minutes , as I did watching this clever little short . It's about two people who go on a date , and while we hear the talk , we see what they're really saying to each other . Considering that this was probably animated in a pretty short amount of time , it's astounding... |
450,895 | 2,093,818 | 105,695 | 10 | Excellent western drama | Clint Eastwood makes very good films . He's a good actor , but an even better director . This drama takes place in the old wild West , and it presents a fairly accurate depiction of life in that time . The sets and the costumes are perfectly convincing . The plot is good , and it moves along at a good pace . The charac... |
450,070 | 2,093,818 | 88,323 | 10 | The best fantasy movie ever made , and probably the only one I've ever liked | I really loved this movie , which is impressive since I usually can't stand fantasy / adventure movies . It affected me on a nostalgic level , as I had seen it once before , when I was about 7-8 years old , and seeing it again ( now 17 , soon to be 18 ) brought back a lot of memories . The movie is like it's made up of... |
450,354 | 2,093,818 | 114,369 | 10 | The best thriller ever | This is the best thriller David Fincher has made , and most likely the best thriller ever made . The suspense , the atmosphere , the gruesome theme and basic idea of a serial killer killing people by the seven deadly sins is fascinating . The plot is great , you never lose interest , and it keeps evolving for every pas... |
450,330 | 2,093,818 | 314,331 | 10 | British humor , love , and christmas . . . quite good actually | I have to say , I've never been too happy about British humor , I've always been more fond of the American humor . This movie has turned it around ; while not always being laugh-out-loud funny , it is persistently funny , throughout pretty much the entire thing . I can't say I was bored at any point in the movie ; even... |
450,133 | 2,093,818 | 68,646 | 10 | Definitely deserves its high rating | I haven't seen all dramas , nor have I ever seen all movies made that revolve around the mafia , but this is the best drama I've ever seen , and the best movie that revolves around the mafia , by far . Marlon Brando is a fantastic actor , and while I haven't seen any other films with him , I can't imagine that he's don... |
433,495 | 2,171,244 | 462,395 | 1 | Dickweed . Dickweed . Dickweed ! | There was absolutely no way that I was going to approach this film as a comedy . Anyone who dresses like Larry the Cable Guy cannot possibly be funny . Pathetic ? yes , I'll give you that , but not funny . I saw that it was filmed in Orlando and it was about a Florida Health Inspector . So , I looked upon it as a docum... |
434,374 | 2,171,244 | 87,617 | 1 | What a stinking ripoff ! | I bought this movie with Denzel Washington on the cover and a title of License to Kill . It even says " full screen " and the back said " unrated . " Well , it was unrated all right , because it was a TV movie and Denzel Washington had a minor part in it . All I can say that Denzel must have had some time to kill befor... |
432,189 | 2,171,244 | 95,990 | 1 | Zombies for kids | This has to be the worst example of a zombie movie ever . I cannot believe that they made four or five of these . The entire movie was marred by these screaming girls . They just would not shut up . One even let her dead boyfriend eat her brains . How dumb can you be ? This movie had veteran actors like Dana Ashbrook a... |
433,611 | 2,171,244 | 377,818 | 1 | Yes . Yes . Wow . Ooh ! | Jay Chandrasekhar ( Beerfest ? Super Troopers ? ) is the worst director I have come across , and John O'Brien ( Starsky & Hutch ? ) has written the worst screenplay , which makes this one of the worst pictures I have ever seen . I never even liked the TV series when it was on , so a sequel is absolutely unbelievable . ... |
434,249 | 2,171,244 | 366,436 | 1 | A Christmas present for the naughtiest of the naughty . | The first thing I had to do after watching this was to re-rate Beerfest . I had to up its rating to make room for this , the absolute worst movie I have ever seen . To be completely honest , my first reaction after watching this was to immediately take it outside , run over it with my car , put it through the chipper ,... |
433,153 | 2,171,244 | 404,456 | 1 | I want my time back ! | I have seen some bad movies before , but this takes the cake . 90 minutes of my life wasted - gone forever - down the drain . What I thought might be an interesting story about a serial killer was so bad that it was painful to watch . Shannon Lucio ( from the OC ) and Brent Taylor gave totally uninspiring performances ... |
434,214 | 2,171,244 | 284,837 | 1 | Waste of my time | I have absolutely no idea why I watched Ali G Indahouse except for the fact that Salon seemed to think a crime was committed by not nominating Sacha Baron Cohen for a Emmy for his work on Da Ali G Show . It is a sure bet that I will never watch that show as there was absolutely nothing funny about the movie . Comedy ? ... |
432,178 | 2,171,244 | 63,595 | 1 | Oh my god , I can't believe I watched this ! | I am waiting for my copy of The Wizard of Gore to arrive in the mail , so I thought I would check out this Herschell Gordon Lewis work . Having on seen Blood Feast and Blood Feast 2 : All U Can Eat , I wasn't prepared for the total lack of anything worthwhile in this film . So bad it's good ? No , this film is just pla... |
