434,475 | 2,171,244 | 78,344 | 6 | Schoolgirl & Nun fantasies rolled into one ! | Monica ( Mónica Zanchi ) is a very naughty girl . She gets caught with her young stepmother ( Dirce Funari ) - " But , dad , you told me to be friends with her ! " - and is sent off to boarding school run by nuns . One nun in particular is Sister Emanuelle ( Laura Gemser , a veteran of many " Emanuelle " films ) . Moni... |
433,488 | 2,171,244 | 290,095 | 6 | When I look at you , I have a wet dream . | This one was made strictly for the teens . They like Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt and what better way to get them to the movies than put them both in a film billed as a comedy . Instead of comedy , we get slapstick . Well , that is comedy , but the lowest form . Chan is wasted as his acrobatics are directed by ... |
434,422 | 2,171,244 | 39,694 | 6 | Well , nice people don't go murdering other nice people . | David O . Selznick and Alfred Hitckcok did not get along , and this is the last film they did together ( previously Spellbound and Rebecca ) . Maybe Hitchcock was glad to be rid of Selznik , but it just didn't seem her had his heart in this one . He used Gregory Peck ( again ) in the lead as a lawyer who falls in love ... |
433,320 | 2,171,244 | 629,182 | 6 | The Jewish conspiracy | Oscar-winner Chris Cooper ( Adaptation ) is featured in this episode where it appears a teacher was killed for ending a grade-buying scam . Things get heated when Jews are found under every bed by Cooper , who is trying to make a name for himself on the Klan lecture circuit . Even Detective Lennie Briscoe ( Jerry Orbac... |
432,127 | 2,171,244 | 416,496 | 6 | Always count your bullets , senoritas | Luc Besson has given us many exciting films . He was writer and director of The Professional with Jean Reno ; writer of Kiss of the Dragon , The Transporter , and Danny the Dog ; and producer of those and many more like The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada . Now , he has written this for Salma Hayek and Penélope Cru... |
433,258 | 2,171,244 | 167,498 | 6 | Ex-Yakuza chooses : buddies or babe | The formula is simple : take a long-legged Japanese beauty like Kaori Shimamura , who looks really good with a gun in her hand , and can also display a magnificent body during the sex scenes , and put a shell of a story around it . In this case , we have our girl trying to hit the head of the Yakuza for killing her sis... |
433,729 | 2,171,244 | 317,198 | 6 | Colin Firth over Hugh Grant ? | I watched this last night and was sorely disappointed . The first two thirds of the film is Renee Zellweger mooning over Colin Firth . Come on ! He is so wooden . She deserved to go to jail . Of course , the jail scene is the second best scene in the movie . Teaching the Thai women to sing " Like a Virgin " was funny .... |
434,457 | 2,171,244 | 454,919 | 6 | They want life . | J-horror fans may be upset at the way that Wes Craven took a great psychological horror film and turned it into something completely different , but it is really a good film on a different level . Horror isn't always about blood . In fact , it was never about blood in the early days . it's about fear , and this film do... |
434,262 | 2,171,244 | 104,743 | 6 | Ron Silver gets his due | I do not like Ron Silver . I don't like his politics and I don't like his characters . When he gets it , I am happy . This movie made me very happy for two reasons : he has the absolutely worst haircut in the world , so I get to laugh at him throughout , and he gets his just desserts . He plays a sleazy Senator who is ... |
434,472 | 2,171,244 | 83,296 | 6 | Don't leave me . He's here . I know it ! | This video nasty was initially banned in Britain , but released with 2 minutes cut in 1896 . It is a good tale of suspense with a professional , misogynistic slasher , Michael Ironside ( Scanners ) , stalking a woman ( Lee Grant ) and anyone who gets in the way . The music was really good and added to the suspense . Th... |
433,285 | 2,171,244 | 432,021 | 6 | It really is the end of the world . | Sometimes you can nitpick a movie to death and not really say anything useful . I particularly am distressed when one compares a movie to a book or a video game . A movie may be based on a book or movie , but it stands alone . I watch some movies for intellectual stimulation , some for physical stimulation , some just ... |
433,748 | 2,171,244 | 74,670 | 6 | You shall have a special place in my kingdom for as long as you shall live . . | The cartoonish Ilsa ( Dyanne Thorne ) is the keeper of the Sheik's ( Jerry Delony ) harem , and trains the beauties kidnapped from around the world . She is just what you would expect in the role of a Nazi she-bitch . The Americans are sending a Henry Kissinger type ( Richard Kennedy ) along with a naval officer ( Max ... |
432,421 | 2,171,244 | 772,193 | 6 | The story behind the story | There is certainly no shortage of films about man-eating animals . To have one with a 30-foot croc that is just terrifying is probably not original either . Basically , it is just Jaws with bad skin . And , yes they did put together a cast that is a cliché . The dude with an attitude , Dominic Purcell , who probably go... |
432,284 | 2,171,244 | 117,898 | 6 | Sin City , Pulp Fiction , and this film . | If you like neo-noir , or the real thing from the fifties , then this film is for you . The look and feel of a fifties classic is all over this film from the cinematography to the music to the narration . It is a story about a totally dysfunctional family . The children witnessed their father killed while shagging the ... |
432,672 | 2,171,244 | 492,754 | 6 | Intellectual horror film ? | I thought I was watching Groundhog Day . Lauren Currie Lewis was fantastic as the girl who was reliving her murder over and over . This is like a thinking man's horror film . You really don't know what is happening for a while . Is she crazy ? It is obvious that it is not real , but what is going on ? There were some b... |
433,246 | 2,171,244 | 43,053 | 6 | A B-movie romance with excellent singing | Mario Lanza only did 10 movies , and only two with Kathryn Grayson . She could not get along wt him due to his temper and alcohol abuse . That is a real shame as the two together on the Oscar-nominated " Be My Love " was pure magic . ( It lost to " Mona Lisa " in another crash of Academy voters . ) Current moviegoers c... |
433,660 | 2,171,244 | 74,776 | 6 | You don't die for women . You kill for them . | It is not often that you see an " R " rated western . It was even initially banned in Sweden , if you can believe that . But , that was for what was considered excessive violence , including a rape . But , there was not much violence when you consider the torture porn of today , and there was no nudity , despite Oscar-... |
434,425 | 2,171,244 | 71,517 | 6 | That's my sister , baby , and she's a whole lotta woman . | One of the better blaxploitation films with Pam Grier kicking butt and looking o so fine as she does it . The yellow dress that she wore as a hooker was mouth watering to say the least . Rape and revenge are the main threads running through the film , as she is on the warpath to avenge her lover , who was killed by the... |
432,467 | 2,171,244 | 102,370 | 6 | Neat ? Anyone who says my show is neat has to go . | I have always been fascinated with Madonna . I feel that she has been unfairly maligned over the years , as are many who stretch the envelope with new ideas and thinking . I have to admit I tuned into this documentary just to see Pedro Almodovar . I hadn't realized that Madonna had a thing for Antonio Bandaras and she ... |
432,473 | 2,171,244 | 898,266 | 6 | I got a bang out of this ! | It probably won't last just because I thought it was funny , but the story of two geeks ( Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons ) and their friends and a ditsy blonde ( Kaley Cuoco ) had some clever moments . Unfortunately , there are only two episodes in the can , so maybe next week will be the last chance to see it . Like I... |
432,724 | 2,171,244 | 280,674 | 6 | Simplify , Clarify , and Economize | The idea of a $99 computer may have been a big dream in this film , but to those who have seen the documentary TED , it is a reality . Of course , the real $99 computer is nothing like these guys dreamed up ! Andy ( Adam Garcia ) wants to really build something like his father . So , he quits his marketing job and goes... |
434,106 | 2,171,244 | 473,553 | 6 | All the elements of a good slasher flick . | Good story , a sufficient amount of gore , interesting characters , and the requisite titties ; all combine to make an enjoyable slasher film . It may not make the purist's Top Ten for the year , but it was worth the time . With over 100 roles , I should know Lochlyn Munro by now , but I kept thinking he could be Gary ... |
434,545 | 2,171,244 | 278,435 | 6 | You have a divine animal right to protect your own life and the life of your offspring . | Jennifer Lopez is not a great actress . She wasn't even good enough to win a Razzie for worst actress for this film . That went to Britney Spears ( Crossroads ) and Madonna ( Swept Away ) . But , of course , we do not watch Lopez for her acting ability . This was her fifth Razzie nomination ; she won for Gigli . Now , ... |
432,803 | 2,171,244 | 110,074 | 6 | You know , for kids . | Come on now ! Even the movies are claiming that it's " for the children . " That line doesn't get every law passed , and it doesn't make every Coen brothers movie a hit . Sure , I like the Coen brothers . Fargo is a big favorite , as is O Brother , Where Art Thou ? I liked Blood Simple , and even The Big Lebowski was g... |
433,827 | 2,171,244 | 139,809 | 6 | So , is someone gonna unplug me now ? | The idea of parallel universes is based in science , and I found it interesting to see in a sci-fi movie . I have to say that this was really difficult to keep straight , but I tried hard . Going back and forth from the present to 1937 Los Angeles , you never knew what was real and what was created . Of course , at the... |
433,720 | 2,171,244 | 117,582 | 6 | I myself have no future . But I am a force . | Anyone looking for some exciting tale along the lines of the Bourne trilogy in a film named The Secret Agent is going to be disappointed . What you have here is a dark and deep intellectual exercise in the actions of spies , anarchists , agent provocateurs , and the like in 19th Century England . While Bob Hoskins ( Un... |
432,227 | 2,171,244 | 377,749 | 6 | A horror western | Just combining horror and westerns makes this film an interesting watch . There is not a great amount of blood and gore , but enough to make it interesting . We could have seen more of Nicki Aycox ; that would have made it more interesting . The acting is good for a direct-to-DVD film . Henry Thomas ( Indictment : The ... |
432,383 | 2,171,244 | 110,054 | 6 | You ate my chicken ass , now I'm going to eat your ass ! | There is nothing that compares to a Jet Li movie when you want martial arts action . He is the best there is , and I cannot understand why they tried to make something that I would expect of Jackie Chan . The government is looking for maps to rebel treasure , and Jet Li is in hiding with his son Ting ( Miu Tse ) , who ... |
434,028 | 2,171,244 | 339,135 | 6 | The new Van Damme is worth watching . | He will never be mistaken for an " A " list star , but Jean-Claude Van Damme is certainly showing improvement in his acting ability . Despite the fact that this is your standard prison film , with lots of violence , there is an undercurrent here that makes it a good story , and Van Damme does a good job as a man who ge... |
433,524 | 2,171,244 | 443,706 | 6 | Oh God , save us all . | I am not sold on this film . At over two and a half hours , it seemed as long as the investigation itself . Why didn't David Fincher give us a tight and exciting film like Se7en ? Yes , the investigation had an impact on many people other than those who were killed , and Jake Gyllenhaal , Mark Ruffalo , Robert Downey J... |
433,257 | 2,171,244 | 82,495 | 6 | I shot him 6 times ! I shot him in the heart-but . . . HE'S NOT HUMAN ! | May this should have been Halloween Continued as it is part of the first film with the story continuing to it's horrible conclusion . Donald Pleasence was definitely the star of this film as he appeared in almost every scene except in the hospital , where the carnage was continuing without anyone's notice . The therapy... |
434,186 | 2,171,244 | 90,190 | 6 | Well how would you like to have this hot tamale shoved down your throat ? | Now this would make a nice Disney film about a 92-pound weakling that suddenly develops into the muscle-man of the town and falls in love with a blind girl . But , this is Tromaville , and love stories by Lloyd Kaufman are a little twisted . Yes , there is a 98-pound weakling ( Mark Torgl ) who does develop into a musc... |
433,188 | 2,171,244 | 848,557 | 6 | Are we worth saving ? You tell me . | This was quite a creepy film for the most part - the scene at the hospital was really creepy : the location , the build up and the pay off were all great . Romero does a good job of showing the savagery of man . I think his vision is that we are not much different than the zombies as our humanity declines . He is also ... |
433,534 | 2,171,244 | 117,658 | 6 | Troma release of Argento film | Troma remastered this director's cut of the dark Dario Argento film that features not only cutting edge CGI and special effects that had not been used in Italian horror previously , but also his own daughter in the lead . It had to be somewhat difficult directing a rape scene that includes your daughter . The haunting ... |
432,343 | 2,171,244 | 102,220 | 6 | Another remake - yawn ! | Why do they do it ? Just because a film was made once in the fifties , someone thinks they need to remake it with today's hot stars . At least they could improve on the story . The most glaring hole in this version is the fact that the father ( Max von Sydow ) hired a private detective to investigate the boyfriend of h... |
434,505 | 2,171,244 | 417,217 | 6 | I'm addicted to these stars . | Walter Abrams : After the therapy , and the psychiatry , and the meetings , you know what it all comes down to ? You're all fcked up . Let's face it . If Al Pacino , Matthew McConaughey , or Rene Russo are in a film , there is a better than even chance that I will be watching it . I'd say an 80 % chance . It is not jus... |
432,997 | 2,171,244 | 412,915 | 6 | The fate of the world is in my hands ? That's so . . . sad . | A comedy / adventures in the Indiana Jones style about a nerd who is responsible for saving the world . I am not looking for Emmy quality here , but compared to any other film based upon a cartoon , comic book , or video game , this is just good fun . Noah Wylie is a classic . 30 + years old and still in school . 22 de... |
433,370 | 2,171,244 | 109,916 | 6 | Japanese Transformers ? | Keeping up with the fireworks on the 4th , we see that Godzilla has to defend Baby Godzill , who is much bigger , against a UN built Transformer-type machine and also Space Godzilla , which was formed by some Godzilla DNA that traveled to space somehow . They keep getting sillier and sillier . This one seemed to drag o... |
432,644 | 2,171,244 | 756,729 | 6 | How to become a pet-obsessive in 10 easy lessons . | This was probably not a good movie for me to watch . I have had to put two dogs down and one just died on me . If you are out digging a grave at 5 . am . , bawling your eyes out , then you know what someone goes through when they lose a pet . So , I could empathize with Peggy ( Molly Shannon ) and see how she could be ... |
434,463 | 2,171,244 | 473,464 | 6 | Neo-noir high school tale | Nikki Reed ( American Gun , Thirteen , " The O . C . " ) , Jonathan Tucker ( In the Valley of Elah , Love Comes to the Executioner , " The Black Donnellys " ) , and Julie Gonzalo ( " Veronica Mars " ) come together in this indy film that has some interesting twists and fascinating characters . There is nothing you have... |
433,353 | 2,171,244 | 324,216 | 6 | Oh my god , I am WAY too stoned for this ! | Alfred Hitchcock said that it wasn't the blood and gore that was scary , but the anticipation . That is what makes this film well worth watching . It was full of anticipation of what was to come . Watching Jessica Biel running around screaming , covered in blood , and rats crawling up her legs while she tried to escape... |
433,565 | 2,171,244 | 373,889 | 6 | Harry Potter . . . You will lose . . . everything . | I actually got the opportunity to see this today and was mesmerized by the increasing maturity of the movies in the series . It actually was more of an adult film that the previous ones and makes me think that we are in for a treat with the next two . The usual gang is back , and there are some great performances . I p... |
433,279 | 2,171,244 | 71,240 | 6 | I felt like I was watching a documentary | This was New Mexico , but I have seen many such facilities during my time as a foster caseworker over nine years in Texas . The only thing that was outside my knowledge was the isolation . I cannot imagine that any facility has a solitary confinement room . The terrible tragedy of young women depicted in this film was ... |
432,581 | 2,171,244 | 71,233 | 6 | The blood of these whores is killing me . | Udo Kier has 180 roles to his credit . Most recently he was in Grindhouse and Rob Zombies Halloween . But , it is his roles in Andy Warhol's Frankenstein and this film that really show him at his campy best . Here , he plays Count Dracula , a man we really feel sorry for , as he only has two weeks to live unless he can... |
434,023 | 2,171,244 | 478,976 | 6 | A tribute to Carrie | In the interest of full disclosure , I have to admit that I really wanted to be in California this weekend to meet the director and cast and see this on the big screen . But , I have to be satisfied with my video autographed by the director Jim Hemphill in his first effort at a horror film . The story was basic high sc... |
432,322 | 2,171,244 | 55,601 | 6 | Film does not stand the test of time | Luis Buñuel directed some great films , and this may have been one in 1961 , when the conditions in Spain were bad only a generation after the military coup by Franco . However , it really does not stand the test of time and , despite the fact that one is expected to sing the great director's praises at every opportuni... |
432,513 | 2,171,244 | 265,625 | 6 | Nothing is a sure thing . | Maybe they should have used the alternate title , " Rat in the Can , " instead of " Strange Hearts . " Of course , if you go looking for " Strange hearts " on cable , you will have better luck trying " Roads to Riches . " But , " Rat in the Can " is a good title to describe just how far Jack Waters ( Robert Forster ) h... |
434,529 | 2,171,244 | 117,260 | 6 | Blaxploitation stars kick ass | It's like old home wee when stars like Jim Brown ( Slaughter , Black Gunn ) , Fred Williamson ( Starsky & Hutch ) , Pam Grier , Ron O'Neal ( Superfly ) , Richard Roundtree ( Shaft ) , and Paul Winfield ( Sounder ) get together to teach some young punks a lesson . Heavys of the 70's blaxploitation genre are called home ... |
434,054 | 2,171,244 | 82,817 | 6 | There is no security . | I cannot imagine why Sylvester Stallone and Rutger Hauer ( Blade Runner , Sin City , Batman Begins ) have not been matched up more . No , I don't do games so I have not seen them in Rambo II , the video game . These two really played well off each other and did a credible job as the cop vs terrorist . They both kept yo... |
433,217 | 2,171,244 | 78,869 | 6 | In , through . . . and beyond . | Sometimes you just have bad luck . This was a good movie with dazzling cinematography and special effects . Unfortunately it lost the Oscars in both categories going up against Apocalypse Now and Alien . Despite that , it was worth watching for the action and science . Maximilian Schell ( Judgment at Nuremberg , The Ma... |
434,558 | 2,171,244 | 465,624 | 6 | Get away from my boyfriend , you crazy bitch ! | OK , I'm a sucker for Uma Thurman and Eddie Izzard . Actually , I prefer Izzard as a transvestite comedian , but I'll take a chance as an actor . Luke Wilson ( Hoot ) is not having luck finding a girlfriend despite the best efforts of his buddy played by Rainn Wilson ( House of 1000 Corpses ) . He hooks up with super g... |
432,755 | 2,171,244 | 381,942 | 6 | Only the third " female " version of A Christmas carol ? | Needless to say , I am a big fan of Dicken's story , and have seen many versions . Susan Lucci did the best " female " portrayal in Ebbie , but I would not dismiss the fine performance of Tori Spelling , someone I initially would not consider worth watching . I am a little biased in this one as her love interest ( Jaso... |
432,459 | 2,171,244 | 1,028,528 | 6 | Ladies , we're gonna have some fun . | This film was supposed to be some kind of homage to the grind house flicks of the past . If so , I am glad that i missed them because it was really a bore with three exceptions . First , Vanessa Ferlito , who I would watch sitting in a chair for an hour anytime . hey , that what I did here , except for one fantastic la... |
434,038 | 2,171,244 | 67,367 | 6 | We are talking about things beyond science , about the imaginings of men's minds , about good and evil . | While we anxiously await Lesbian Vampire Killers , we can visit a Hammer classic that has loads of naturally endowed women in a finishing school . While the lesbianism that is inferred is probably just normal boarding school hi-jinks , we are able to enjoy the peaks of pleasure exposed to our view . The vampire Mircall... |
434,563 | 2,171,244 | 456,630 | 6 | You'll really go to another level | Like a lot of psychological horror , you have to invest some time and energy in this film . It appears to be one thing , but you are not prepared for the changes , and certainly not the ending . I really expected that Nagisa ( Yûka in her first film ) was going one way , and then it went a completely different directio... |
433,794 | 2,171,244 | 461,703 | 6 | I am not human . . . We're better than that . | I so wanted this film to be great . Not just because I have the poster signed by Stan Winston on my wall , but because I love a great werewolf movie . It is so wrong to make a PG-13 werewolf movie . We are cheated out of what makes the genre great . The effort to appeal to a broader audience took away from the picture ... |
432,944 | 2,171,244 | 350,774 | 6 | Kinda goofy and very gory | This isn't the American version of Shaun of the Dead . It really started out slow and wasn't going anywhere until one of the group started dancing around in a pool of blood on the floor . Every once in a while the action is interrupted by some twanger who is trying to reveal what is happening through song . Once the bo... |
434,291 | 2,171,244 | 890,870 | 6 | The games have just begun . | I can imagine that we will be watching Saw for a few more years . This episode gave us the back story for Jigsaw ( Tobin Bell ) , and now we can feel a little sympathy for him . After all , he didn't exactly go after the innocent , did he ? It was certainly gory and the inventiveness of the traps were still impressive ... |
432,464 | 2,171,244 | 187,696 | 6 | Leck mich am Arsch | I had never seen Franka Potente before The Bourne identity , and I fell in love with her immediately . So far , I have only been able to get my hands on one film featuring her , and it's a real winner for those that like mystery / suspense with a little gruesomeness . No , it doesn't feature her bod , nor that of the i... |
432,605 | 2,171,244 | 289,626 | 6 | There will always be dark . People will always be afraid . | I don't recall seeing a Witchouse I or II , so I won't be judging this as a sequel , but on it's own . First , the cinematography was outstanding . This , in no way , appeared to be low budget by the camera work or the acting . Things were not as they appeared , and that was a good thing . Stevie ( Debbie Rochon ) , An... |
432,814 | 2,171,244 | 109,809 | 6 | You're supposed to say trick or treat . | Sorry , little girl , but I'll take my treat from your neck . She came out OK , as the Flesheater ( S . William Hinzman ) managed to stick his hand into one girls stomach and pull out some organs , and he stuck his hand completely through the body of another victim . You just have to wake one zombie and he can exponent... |
434,337 | 2,171,244 | 109,578 | 6 | I'm coming for you O'Shea | At least Paul Kersey ( Charles Bronson ) has justification for responding . He tried the law , and they failed . It's the basic revenge scenario , but without the senseless killing in Death Wish IV . At least this movie spent the first half setting up the reasons for Kersey's revenge and gave his efforts at having the ... |
432,215 | 2,171,244 | 117,427 | 6 | Another chance to see Halle Berry | OK , not the greatest movie in the world , and the outcome is fairly predictable , but it was another opportunity to see Halle Berry , and I cannot pass that up . Besides that , I am trying to get my teaching certificate , so I watch teacher movies , no matter how silly . I understand that it is also based upon a true ... |
432,106 | 2,171,244 | 121,731 | 6 | Losing my head over you . | Fans of avant garde film may find this interesting , and fans of Alejandro Jodorowsky will certainly want to see his first film . Those with psychological training my see this as an example of Body Dysmorphic Disorder - an internal dissatisfaction with their appearance . Fortunately , Jodorowsky has a solution - as sto... |
432,510 | 2,171,244 | 144,120 | 6 | I'll kill anybody , but I'll only sleep with someone I love . | This is the best so far of all the Chucky films . It isn't that it has more story going on , but the addition of Jennifer Tilly makes it worth watching even if you don't like Chucky . Tilly's best role is unarguably Bound with Gina Gershon , but she has been thrilling us for years in such films as The Getaway and Danci... |
432,159 | 2,171,244 | 443,453 | 6 | The worst movie I've ever seen . NOT ! | I cannot remember where I first saw Rhona Mitra , but I knew I wanted to see much more of her . That is why I watched Ali G Indahouse . Big mistake ! Even Rhona could not make that film worth watching . I never looked at Sacha Cohen again . There was nothing that he could do that would interest me . However , when I sa... |
432,261 | 2,171,244 | 395,585 | 6 | I wouldn't be praying . | Former cameraman Steven R . Monroe directed this little psychological movie that at times was slow as molasses , but , nevertheless , an interesting glimpse of the beast within all of us . Now , I cannot compare it to Cube , Saw , or My Little Eye , as others have done as i have not seen those films . I only mention th... |
434,255 | 2,171,244 | 479,152 | 6 | It's all about family . | Andrea Roth was cute as the Ghost of Christmas Present in Chasing Christmas . She is just as cute here , but has a very different role . Seems she is trying to raise her young son and barely scraping by as her cheating husband ran off with his dental hygienist . Isn't that always the story ? But , don't worry , as cute... |
432,486 | 2,171,244 | 67,535 | 6 | The end of Virgil Tibbs | We first met Virgil Tibbs waiting for a train in Sparta Mississippi In the Heat of the Night . For those that didn't know , he reminded us in They Call Me MISTER Tibbs . Now , he had his badge taken away after no keeping his Captain informed as he fought The Organization in San Francisco . Maybe the hippie thing is get... |
434,184 | 2,171,244 | 465,494 | 6 | Yell all you like - the Lord himself won't hear you . | So , this is an adaptation from a video game . Maybe that is part of the problem . It just didn't have any soul . It was cold and mindless and exciting , but the sets looked as if they came from a video game , and there was more shooting than performing . Compare that to Jason Statham in Crank or Clive Owen in Shoot ' ... |
432,648 | 2,171,244 | 86,610 | 6 | Maryam d'Abo's debut ! | This video nastie was banned in Britain , but released uncut four years later . The main feature is the motion picture debut of Maryam d'Abo ( The Living Daylights ) . This Bond girl gives us what we can never see in those PG-13 pictures . If we saw this in Bond , they would be classic ! This is the only full frontal f... |

But I don't play games . | There is something about those WWE films that just grab me and make me want to watch . There is always plenty of action , even if they emphasize violence and dismiss the sex to placate their fans . It doesn't matter whether it is The Rock , John Cena , or , in this case , Stone Cold Steve Austin , they deliver movies t... |
434,115 | 2,171,244 | 438,315 | 6 | This moment is the only thing that matters . | OK , I'll admit it . The only reason I watched this movie was another chance to see Amy Smart ( Crank ) and Agnes Bruckner ( The Woods ) . A sports movie about gymnastics would not normally appeal to me . But , this is not really a sports movie . It is a movie about spirituality . Not too terrible different from The Ka... |
432,886 | 2,171,244 | 110,490 | 6 | Welcome to Hell . | When you watch a movie about ex-Special forces guys who are now mercenaries , you know what to expect .

432,187 | 2,171,244 | 114,367 | 6 | Wasp Woman meets Robo Cop | It is amazing what you'll find at 4am . This was certainly one that I should have skipped and tried to get back to sleep . It's far into the future and on a mining camp the robots are loose . They are cute little things that look like doggie-sized metal T-Rexs . Got the picture . But they also can assume human shape . ... |
433,944 | 2,171,244 | 82,138 | 6 | I'll shovel it . I'll live in it . But I won't take it . | Talk about an undiscovered gem . I never knew this film existed . Denzel Washington's first film role . You could see the potential for greatness even then . Yes , I know that is easy to say now , but I really mean it . Even in this small role , he was great . My personal connection to this film aside , it really hit h... |
432,176 | 2,171,244 | 66,578 | 6 | Almost a cannibal film | If you like this film by Herschell Gordon Lewis , then you will love the remake . I liked this film , which was good for its time , but there is nothing that can compare with having the Suicide Girls in your film . It was almost a cannibal film in that the playing around with the guts was just short of having someone e... |
434,188 | 2,171,244 | 389,828 | 6 | . . . with liberty and justice for all white people , Amen . | I really didn't know what to expect when watching this film . I thought it was going to be more of a dramedy , not a mocumentary in the style of Ken Burns . I can say that I did not find it funny in the least , if that was the intent . I sat through the entire thing with my mouth handing open , except for the " commerc... |
433,617 | 2,171,244 | 24,727 | 6 | Don't let the vampires get you . | In the same year that she was Ann Darrow in the clutches of King King , Fay Wray made this little gem where vampires were traveling through the village killing people . She really appears to be quite good and worth looking further into her 117 film catalog . Of course , multiple Oscar-winner Melvyn Douglas ( Hud , Bein... |
434,444 | 2,171,244 | 117,107 | 6 | This isn't America , Jack . This is L . A . | Nick Nolte , Chazz Palminteri , Michael Madsen , and Chris Penn make up the notorious " Hat Squad , " that will stop at nothing to rid L . A . of criminals . This neo-noir film brings back the look and feel of 1950s L . A . and unfortunately was not to receive the acclaim that was given to the similar L . A . Confident... |
433,101 | 2,171,244 | 413,300 | 6 | I almost walked out | Yes , I will admit it . There was a point after an hour and a half that I was ready to call it quits . I'm glad I stayed , but it was a struggle . To start off , the Title was stunning . I really felt that was one of the very best I've seen . Too bad I can't identify who did the opening . Not to take away from Tobey Ma... |
434,062 | 2,171,244 | 343,996 | 6 | Misses the real story of Cuba | Watching this film , I am so reminded of Casablanca . Like Rick , Fico Fellove ( Andy Garcia ) is seemingly oblivious to the oppression and evil that surrounds him , only concerned with running his nightclub .

434,219 | 2,171,244 | 285,492 | 6 | You see a hypercube isn't supposed to be real . It's just a theoretical construct . | Take eight different characters and place them in a strange situation , and you will usually have something worth watching . Like the original Cube , these eight are in that situation , except that this cube is beyond the laws of physics and much more science fiction than horror . It even has a room that can kill you ,... |

433,013 | 2,171,244 | 381,061 | 6 | Trying to sell margarine as butter | Daniel Craig is not James Bond despite the fact that we have been subjected to a 2 and one half hour sales presentation . No , this was not a Bond movie but an attempt to convince us that we needed Craig . They failed miserably . Yes , I am upset that Pierce Brosnan was replaced , but I really tried to forget that whil... |

434,390 | 2,171,244 | 218,043 | 7 | I ain't a forty-hour motherfcker , man . | I lived outside Amarillo , Texas for nine years and never saw Terry Funk wrestle . I saw him make a lot of car commercials , but was never one for the wrestling game . I used to watch a little on Sunday mornings when I attended church at the Ace Lounge in Tampa about 30 years ago . That was pre-WWF - the time of Gorgeo... |
434,058 | 2,171,244 | 338,095 | 7 | You can't escape from me , bitch ! | High tension is a perfect name for Alexandre Aja's ( The Hills Have Eyes , P2 ) film . After what seemed like a slow start , the tension picked up to were I was strung wire tight , as was Cécile De France ( The Spanish Apartment ) .

Alexandra Borgia ( Annie Parisse ) . I just didn't like the attitude of his character . He would do things like pull out a wad of cash like a pimp . She just didn't have any character at all - just lim... |

433,758 | 2,171,244 | 105,187 | 7 | It doesn't matter what people say unless you believe them . | I am so used to seeing Joe Pesci as a mobster ( Goodfellas , Casino , Once Upon a Time in America ) that I never imagined him in any other role .
