434,631 | 2,171,244 | 118,548 | 7 | Selling sin is easy . | Actually , this is a favorite Eastwwod film . Not only does Clint do a good job in this film , but also I am not too fond of Gene Hackman , and I like seeing him get his due . Eastwood plays a cat burglar - a really good one . He hit a mansion where the owner is out of town . He finds a secret safe that has one way gla... |
434,573 | 2,171,244 | 1,105,170 | 7 | Your shot at love has ended . | Wow ! This is definitely an interesting twist on reality programming . Anyone who is aware of what is going on in MySpace knows Tila Tequila . It's a little hard to miss her if you keep up with pop culture . Now , she has a show that pits the guys against the girls in a battle of love . Oh , yeah , we've seen that befo... |
432,519 | 2,171,244 | 130,121 | 7 | Here , try this , " Hey , fuggeddabout it ! " | Hugh Grant is funny . He uses his British accent and his naughty schoolboy manner to bring a laugh to any film . This one is no exception . He falls in love with Gina ( Jeanne Tripplehorn ) , who's father ( James Caan ) is a mobster . So we have some of our favorite mobster characters : Burt Young ( " The Last Don " ) ... |
432,537 | 2,171,244 | 65,145 | 7 | Come on it's 1969 . 69 Let's go . | Now , this is the first sexploitation / grindhouse film that I thought worth paying money to see . I can imagine a whole theater full of men in white overcoats getting a thrill from this feature which had full frontal throughout the entire 70 minutes . Nude dancing and lesbian activity would have thrilled them for the ... |
434,121 | 2,171,244 | 35,317 | 7 | This fortress - built by nature for herself ; This blessed plot , this Earth , this realm , this England . | I watched two very different Holmes adventures this morning , but you would be amazed at the similarities . The was presumably the first collaboration between Basil Rathbone ( If I Were King , Romeo and Juliet ) and Nigel Bruce , and director Roy William Neill . It was not their first Sherlock Holmes adventure , as the... |
434,348 | 2,171,244 | 378,661 | 7 | Not you daddy's zombie movie | If you like zombies , then you must certainly find 70 million of them to be a real delight . In fact , in the town in this film , 13 , 000 returned from the dead . But , you will be disappointed in the fact that there is no blood or gore , no eating of brains . This is just what the French do best - give us a film that... |
434,591 | 2,171,244 | 337,921 | 7 | Good solid suspense | I saw Statham again this evening in a film that I hadn't noticed - Cellular , with Kim Basinger in the most incredible role I have seen her in since L . A . Confidential . If you haven't seen the film , put it in your Netflix queue as it is taut and suspenseful and as exciting as they come . I featured a great performa... |
433,484 | 2,171,244 | 52,676 | 7 | Are you satisfied with your equipment , Miss Allcock ? | Can you imagine students that love their headmaster ( principal ) so much that they try to sabotage his leaving by playing practical jokes when a district ( ? ) team is visiting the school ? That's the premise of this , one of the early Carry On films . I can certainly imagine the reaction of the visiting psychiatrist ... |
433,288 | 2,171,244 | 493,464 | 7 | Wanted's Best Body Parts | Don't kid yourself . Nobody went to this film to see any of the actors listed before Angelina , and the studios knew it . Are there posters of trailers that feature James McAvoy ? Who is he anyway ? I saw one site that said they are thinking trilogy ; that he is the next Bourne . Give me a break ! McAvoy compared to Ma... |
432,913 | 2,171,244 | 118,760 | 7 | This place makes me want to kill . | I cannot imagine a better example of religion's failure than the war in Northern Ireland . The land that we celebrate in March as a place of happiness is one where Catholics and Protestants bathed the ground with the blood of their young . Danny ( Daniel Day-Lewis ) is a former IRA member who has spent the last 14 year... |
433,159 | 2,171,244 | 405,061 | 7 | Reincarnation in creepy flick | I couldn't resist watching a movie with Qi Shu after seeing her in The Transporter . Unfortunately , while she did a great job of acting , the movie itself left a lot to be desired . It was really nothing more than an episode of Ghost Whisperer . She doesn't have " the gift " of seeing spirits until she attempts suicid... |
434,602 | 2,171,244 | 35,114 | 7 | A very interesting Dassin film . | I saw that there was a couple of Nazi films on TNT last night and decided to give them a viewing . Sometimes these old black and whites can really have interesting stories . This was true to my expectations . This was a Jules Dassin film . He was one of the most important directors in post-WWII America . Unfortunately ... |
434,102 | 2,171,244 | 87,928 | 7 | Goofy police action | Sometimes you just want to sit back and laugh . You don't need any deep thought ; you are just looking to relax . After final exams yesterday , that is what I wanted and Police Academy fit the bill . Nothing spectacular , but it did provide two hours of laughs with juvenile jokes starring Stve Guttenberg , who made fou... |
433,980 | 2,171,244 | 427,392 | 7 | Not your daddy's Invasion of the Body Snatchers | I have read a lot of negative comments about this film , and I know I risk being accused of being a Nicole Kidman fan , but I really like what they did here . To us the shuttle crash as a means to introduce the virus was brilliant . The use of " House " - like pictures of what was going on in the body was also very goo... |
433,086 | 2,171,244 | 765,429 | 7 | Frank Lucas don't run from nobody . | Well , he should have run from Russell Crowe . So , he makes a deal and gets off with 15 years . What about all those people he killed , Richie ? I was anxious to see this film as I am a Denzel Washington fan , but I have to say that it does not live up to the hype . I would watch The Godfather or Goodfellas again befo... |
433,852 | 2,171,244 | 281,820 | 7 | Gel is essential when things get complicated . | Nutsa Kukhianidze is one of those actresses that I want to see all their work . Ever since the forgettable Dirty Work , I have looked for another film and finally found this one , as far as I know the only other one on DVD . This Georgian beauty is definitely worth catching and she gives a great performance here . But ... |
433,097 | 2,171,244 | 83,511 | 7 | A super " buddy " movie | I've been in prison for three years . My dick gets hard if the wind blows . That's Reggie Hammond ( Eddie Murphy ) . Getting out of prison , even for a weekend , he has only one thing on his mind . It's a running joke throughout the entire movie and one of the things that makes it hilarious . Now , don't get me wrong... |
432,675 | 2,171,244 | 91,209 | 7 | I want to die . | Robert Harmon , director of Nowhere to Run and the Jesse Stone TV movies gives a great Hitchcockian suspense thriller here that keeps you interested until the end . Rutger Hauer is creepy as the psychopath . C . Thomas Howell is all grown up from E . T . and gives an excellent performance as the confused kid who is bei... |
433,862 | 2,171,244 | 338,001 | 7 | Finding Family | In the second part of a twin bill for Ian McKellen , he stars with Deborah Kara Unger in a compelling drama about a man who goes back home after 40 years and has to deal with the past he left behind . In contrast to Cold Comfort Farm , in which McKellan played a small role , this movie is all about him . He goes back a... |
433,863 | 2,171,244 | 112,701 | 7 | A comfortable roll in the hay | First part of a twin bill I watched featuring Ian McKellen ( X-Men , Lord of the Rings ) . He played a fire and brimstone country preacher that reminded me of the 17th Century Puritan Minister Cotton Mather . The movie starred Eileen Atkins ( Cold Mountain ) and Kate Beckinsale ( Underworld ) . Beckansale played a girl... |
432,201 | 2,171,244 | 186,566 | 7 | You are never too old to have fun | What movie with Clint Eastwood , Tommy Lee Jones . James Garner , James Cromwell , Donald Sutherland , and Marcia Gay Harden wouldn't be worth a look . This one has it all , but mostly laughs . This Clint Eastwood produced and directed movie is great simply because the cast doesn't appear to take it seriously . They ar... |
433,112 | 2,171,244 | 295,297 | 7 | It is not our abilities that show what we truly are . . . it is our choices . | I went back to look at the two Chris Columbus-directed Harry Potter movies . These were the one that were more light fantasy and enjoyable in that light . Hagrid : And I'd just like to say that , if it hadn't been for you , Harry , and Ron , and Hermione of course , I would . . . I'd still be You-Know-Where . So I'd ju... |
432,431 | 2,171,244 | 147,582 | 7 | The best pies in London | I do not know if the story of Sweeney Todd is based upon fact , but it sure makes for an interesting blend of horror and comedy . One of the criticisms I have heard of the new Johnny Depp version is that you never really know why he becomes a mass murderer . Well , there is no mystery here and , if you take the time to... |
434,481 | 2,171,244 | 47,673 | 7 | You are not exactly Superman , but you are awfully available . | I'm dreaming of a white Christmas . . . who am I kidding ? It will be 84 here today and the chance of a white Christmas is about equal to the Dolphins beating the Patriots on Christmas Eve eve . But , I always am a chump for the music of Irving Berlin and the singing of Bing Crosy . I'll even put up with the antics and... |
433,424 | 2,171,244 | 416,185 | 7 | It's all about fathers and sons | I don't know why , but I really like sports movies . I am not a sports fans , per se , but I like movies about sports . This film ranks up with the best that I have seen . I do not say that for the sports angle , because that just framed the real story here . I wish I could repeat the story that writer Erik Kernan Jr .... |
432,105 | 2,171,244 | 87,763 | 7 | Life is all about choices | Milestone released two films by Charles Burnett last fall . His acclaimed Killer of Sheep , and this lesser known film . This film was originally released in 1983 , but has been re-cut and re-released . This is the 2007 version that I am reviewing . The slice of life that we see in this film is interesting , but confin... |
432,767 | 2,171,244 | 412,019 | 7 | Is the past truly the past ? | This was my first Jim Jarmusch movie . I have a friend who I think is in love with him . I wasn't crazy about Lost in Translation , so I thought I would give Bill Murrary another chance to impress me . He didn't . I just don't get that emotionless face of his . He just doesn't seem to express anything . Maybe I am just... |
433,482 | 2,171,244 | 295,004 | 7 | Another Bravura performance by Huppert | In a recent interview , Dustin Hoffman ( Mr . Magorium's Wonder Emporium ) was talking about his upcoming film , Last Chance Harvey . He described it as " the kind of film that has been coming out for years in France . . . We don't believe in middle-aged love stories . " Why wait for Hoffman's film next year , when you... |
433,800 | 2,171,244 | 237,539 | 7 | I felt my phoenix rise from the ashes . | I would suggest this film be shown in marriage counseling classes . It was a quirky little comedy that was brilliantly shot and superbly directed by Silvio Soldini , who also wrote the story . Licia Maglietta is Rosalba , a bored housewife that is neglected by her husband . When she misses a tour bus , they do not even... |
432,996 | 2,171,244 | 455,596 | 7 | Hippos like chocolate . . . | One year later we find out intrepid hero ( Noah Wylie ) , an experienced Librarian and his bodyguard is no longer needed . In a nod to Indiana Jones , he brings back the Crystal Skull in the opening sequence before he sets out on his real adventure that brings him into contact with Gabrielle Anwar ( " Burn Notice " , w... |
433,172 | 2,171,244 | 290,673 | 7 | Time destroys everything . | There is really nothing to like about this movie . The title and opening sequence was the worst experience I have ever had in watching a film . I thought I was going to be sick . Some may call it art , but I found it to be disorienting and distracting . Then there is the discussion of the two men . It made absolutely n... |
434,225 | 2,171,244 | 245,120 | 7 | This is all about survival of the fittest . | Nice quick shower scene with girl washing blood off her whole body , and a flashing on the road made me think that I was possibly going to be in for a treat with a vampire movie featuring WB stars . I was not wrong , as we got a real bodily treat in this one . Sean ( Kerr Smith ) is delivering a Mercedes 450 SL from L ... |
432,281 | 2,171,244 | 400,525 | 7 | Christmas Eve . Ho ho fcking ho ! | I don't miss an opportunity to see Joh Cusack . This was a good film for him . Not terribly innovative - a lawyer trying to rip off the mob on Christmas Eve . The usual double crosses and a somewhat predictable ending . It was good film noir . Billy Bob Thorton was not in the movie as much as I thought . He was Cusack'... |
433,919 | 2,171,244 | 338,357 | 7 | The man is the message . | This particular documentary is not the greatest one to recommend for pleasurable viewing . It is basically 74 minutes of Chomsky speaking . He is a quiet man and not a great speaker , but what he has to say is very important . Lately , his position is to questioning how the U . S . can be engaged in a " war on terroris... |
432,409 | 2,171,244 | 141,105 | 7 | He said that Han Solo was cooler than Captain Kirk . | Yes , this film would be a whole lot funnier if I was a 30-year-old whole cared more about Star Trek and Star Wars , hung out at comic book shops , cruised Toys R ' Us for the latest action figure , and really cared about William Shatner . Unfortunately , I am not one to mess up a perfectly good time with Lori Lively b... |
432,664 | 2,171,244 | 141,098 | 7 | Sometimes the people we meet change us forever . | I cannot imagine anything that would be more fun than taking a road-trip with Sarah Lewis ( Sandra Bullock ) . That is why I really think this film is worth watching . Ben Holmes ( Ben Affleck ) got something that very few of us ever get to experience - a couple of days with someone who will truly liberate us from our ... |
432,763 | 2,171,244 | 66,328 | 7 | Whatcha gonna do with that ax ? | Why would I add this to my Christmas list ? Curiosity , for the most part , as it was produced and directed by Barry Mahon . Yes , the same Barry Mahon that gave us Blood of the Zombie , The Diary of Knockers McCalla , Nudes on Tiger Reef , and over 50 more films that make this one an unusual choice . I really wanted S... |
433,496 | 2,171,244 | 308,055 | 7 | Remembering Bobby 40 years later | It is the 40th anniversary of his death and I watched this hoping for something more in line with a commemoration . Bobby Kennedy was only a small part of the film , but an extremely important part . At least I heard Ted Kennedy deliver the immortal lines that defined him : " Some men see things as they are and say why... |
433,065 | 2,171,244 | 338,427 | 7 | So , I can hurt now , or hurt later . | Some compare this to Lost in Translation . I had to watch that film three times before I really enjoyed it . I can say that I enjoyed Steve Martin's story on the first viewing . I actually tuned in to see if Jason Schwartzman was as obnoxious as I have seen him in other films . I was pleasantly surprised . I could not ... |
432,616 | 2,171,244 | 481,797 | 7 | She knows things that we don't understand yet . | Some familiar faces in this very strange film , written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola , that explores areas like reincarnation and guardian angels . Bruno Ganz ( The Reader , Bread & Tulips ) and Alexandra Maria Lara ( The Reader , The Tunnel ) are prominent . Matt Damon appears briefly as a Life reporter , and ... |
432,324 | 2,171,244 | 245,238 | 7 | It Takes Courage | It takes courage to grow up and be who you really are . I would not even pretend to know what teenage girls go through as they mature . Despite the fact that I have experience with many of them , I would not be privy to their innermost thoughts . This film can only give us a vicarious glimpse into their minds and emoti... |
434,292 | 2,171,244 | 841,044 | 7 | This isn't Paris . This is hell . | One of these days Adam Goldberg might win an award on his own instead of being a part of an ensemble cast . There has to be a need for a jealous , hopelessly neurotic nut like the one he played here . Although , I do like his clever way of reducing the taxi line and , after all , they did vote for Bush , so they deserv... |
433,190 | 2,171,244 | 91,630 | 7 | What I'm going to need is your standard flame thrower . | Not your normal zombie movie . The original zombie was infected by something from outer space and then cryogenicly frozen for 27 years until two dorks ( Jason Lively and Steve Marshall ) release him in an effort to impress a girl ( Jill Whitlow ) . It also appears that an escaped ax murderer disappeared about the same ... |
434,630 | 2,171,244 | 233,142 | 7 | You know the golden rule : fck the gold . He who has a nickel-plated makes the rules . | OK , it a piece of trash . It is one of those guilty pleasures of mine . You know , the movie you are not supposed to like , but can't resist every time it comes on . I mean , look at this cast : Kevin Costner from The BodyGuard , one of my favorites ; Kurt Russell from Grindhouse ; Christian Slater and Howie Long from... |
433,694 | 2,171,244 | 105,226 | 7 | You must be Suzanne . You look pretty enough to eat . | One thing I always liked about Robert Ludlum thrillers is just when you think you have it figured out , it goes in a completely different direction . There are so many twists and turns in this film that I have a sore neck from watching . One thing I also like about director John Dahl ( Kill Me Again , Rounders , Unforg... |
432,335 | 2,171,244 | 70,334 | 7 | It's ( NOT ) okay with me . | I am familiar with the Raymond Chandler type of detective even though I have not read this particular book . I was curious to see how Elliott Gould would fit in to the preconceptions I had of Phillip Marlowe . I wasn't impressed with his style . He didn't seem hard enough . The constant chain-smoking seemed contrived .... |
432,850 | 2,171,244 | 400,439 | 7 | Guess I'll see you in hell , doc . | This is the first horror western that I can recall seeing , and it was really a good story . It was one that has been told in many forms , but with a horror twist . Debbie Rochon looked absolutely splendid as she led her girls ( Melissa Paladino and Mya Sagara ) and her sister ( Jennifer Lauren Grant ) across 15 miles ... |
434,386 | 2,171,244 | 112,966 | 7 | Hugh was brilliant | I know this wasn't a huge success . Grant committed to doing it before his huge hit Four Weddings and a Funeral , but it was fun nonetheless . The conflict between the uptight Englishmen and the Welsh villagers over whether they had a hill or a mountain was extremely funny , and their solution - getting Ian McNeice dru... |
432,477 | 2,171,244 | 91,474 | 7 | It's just you and me now , sport . And I'm going to find you , God damn it . | Not having read " Red Dragon , " I am not biased in my review . As I have always said , a book is a book , and a movie is a movie , and there should not be any comparison in a review . This was an interesting movie in many respects . It was a good thriller ; like an episode of " Law and Order " and " CSI " together . I... |
434,256 | 2,171,244 | 112,929 | 7 | What you sow you reap ! | Before Ms . Scrooge , there was this film , one of only two that I am aware of with a female Scrooge . Susan Lucci was just perfect in the role of Elizabeth ( Ebbie ) Scrooge , but it was the Christmas Ghosts that really stole the show . George Kaczender ( Christmas on Division Street ) has another hit with this film t... |
433,892 | 2,171,244 | 801,526 | 7 | I'm not who you think I am | I love Ellen Page , but I am not so sure that I love what Bruce McDonald has done with her here . It is a story about being a 15-year-old teenager named Tracey Berkowitz ( Page ) : conflicting emotions and perceptions , a volatile compound of anger , vulnerability , curiosity , recklessness and fear . It is shot in a m... |
432,994 | 2,171,244 | 485,851 | 7 | Sometimes risking everything is the only choice you have . | An incredible little film that shows just how we are all interconnected and part of the universe . When one's wings flutter , it affects all around us , and in ways that can sometimes be very surprising . The emotions expressed in the film are all emotions that help us understand how we are interconnected . With the ex... |
434,152 | 2,171,244 | 478,137 | 7 | I'm sorry , I'm confused . What's supposed to come out of the piñata ? | There are some nice vampire gore scenes and definitely some major T & A on display in this direct-to-video production . Annika Svedman gave us a great show before she became a vampiress , but I sure wanted to see what Tori White had to offer . There is even a lick-the-salt , drink-the-blood , and eat-the-lemon scene th... |
433,829 | 2,171,244 | 91,495 | 7 | My introduction to Pedro Almodóvar | I am not sure what to expect when the opening scene is a man masturbating to torture porn , a term that was probably not even invented in 1988 . From there we go to alternating clips of Antonio Banderas asking the ex-bullfighter Nacho Martínez about women and he compares getting a woman to bullfighting , while we watch... |
433,281 | 2,171,244 | 365,485 | 7 | I'm as serious as an erection problem . | Pierce Brosnan was the best Bond in my opinion . I hated to see him finish that . He was also great in Butterfly on a Wheel and The Thomas Crown Affair . But , it was this dark comedy that got him a Golden Globe nomination . It is one of those men's films that you probably skipped , but should check out . Even internat... |
432,157 | 2,171,244 | 70,379 | 7 | My nagging girlfriend and her crazy cousin | You know I could stare at a blank screen for two hours when I am presented with music by the Stones , The Chantelles , The Ronnettes , The Miracles , and the Shirelles mixed with some great Italian music . But , I didn't have to . Along with a musical score that really added dimension to the film , I got to see some ov... |
432,657 | 2,171,244 | 118,100 | 7 | Before Christ was a time of orgies . Then came love . | How to describe this film in about 25 words . I agonized over that considerably . It really defies a pithy description . Is it a crime story ? Daniel Auteuil ( Caché , The Valet ) is a cop from a family of criminals . His big brother is killed in a botched car theft , and he is piecing things together . Of course , he ... |
433,300 | 2,171,244 | 963,794 | 7 | We're being quarantined here . We're being kept here to die . | This movie had me during the opening credits when I saw that horribly contorted face . It kept my interest as I tried to figure out where it was heading . I really expected a Saw-type film , and got a huge surprise when it turned out to be a thriller with an edge I have not seen done before . Now I'll be honest ; I was... |
433,569 | 2,171,244 | 91,799 | 7 | Mother ! Oh God Mother ! Blood , blood ! | The trouble with these sequels is that they invariably get compared to the Hitchcock original . You need to look at them separately and judge them that way . Psycho III is much better than Psycho II . At least there is more TITillation , and even a hint of necrophilia . Anthony Perkins not only stars again , but this t... |
433,957 | 2,171,244 | 69,897 | 7 | She's a wild animal ! I've got to have that girl , George ! Tonight | This is real blaxploitation with breasts flying out of dresses everywhere . The biggest ones , of course , belong to Pam Grier , the Best of the Breast . Of course , there is also Lisa Farringer in her only nude scene that I am aware of in her too short 10 year career . There is a story here , too , as Coffy seeks to t... |
432,401 | 2,171,244 | 454,841 | 7 | Now , this was interesting | The title sequence to this movie was one of the best that I have seen in years . It was fascinating and creative and it alone makes the entire movie worthwhile . The concept is also believable . I don't recall seeing something in a horror movie that I could truly believe happened . Knowing what we know now about the te... |
432,660 | 2,171,244 | 167,925 | 7 | What am I going to do now ? | I was attracted to this film because of Virginie Ledoyen ( The Valet , Women ) , and to a lesser extent because it was written and directed by Olivier Assayas ( Boarding Gate , Demonlover , Paris , je t'aime ) . I was not thrilled , but I was not terribly disappointed either . Ledoyen , as were all the characters in th... |
432,689 | 2,171,244 | 87,469 | 7 | Ah , dessert ! Chilled monkey brains . | Nothing like bugs , snakes , and other assorted delicacies - for dinner ! Topped off with chilled monkey brains for dessert , and yum yum , you have the makings of a fest . The second in the Indiana Jones trilogy is full of those yucky things that get Kate Capshaw constantly screaming . Indy ( Harrison Ford ) was ably ... |
432,818 | 2,171,244 | 140,384 | 7 | An inspiration for Almodovar's " Matador " ? | Yasuzo Masumura's story of obsession and pride is definitely one worth watching . Just three characters , with Eiji Funakoshi as the blind man , but there is enough to keep your interest . Michio ( Funakoshi ) relies on touch as his primary means of pleasure . He is a sculptor that has created a warehouse of body parts... |
432,403 | 2,171,244 | 118,040 | 7 | Tight thriller with a twist | I do not know why people tend to rate this film low . Of course , I am slightly prejudiced as i always thought that Ray Liotta may be a cousin until I found out he was adopted . That doesn't take away the quality of his acting , especially in this film . He really has to lay it on thick as he takes the mind of others t... |
434,303 | 2,171,244 | 810,970 | 7 | The truth about the Global Warming debate | There were a lot of good documentaries last year : White Light / Black Rain : The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , Ghosts of Abu Ghraib , and many I haven't yet seen . Add this one to the list . This is not the story of global warming , but the story of the efforts of scientist to get the story out over the last... |
434,273 | 2,171,244 | 481,536 | 7 | It's people like you that make the world think Americans are stupid . | This was just about the craziest movie I have ever seen .

I don't usually like Hollywood remakes , but since I have not seen the original ( Den Onsynlige ) , I had nothing to compare it to .

434,371 | 2,171,244 | 109,370 | 7 | Beer and Back Bacon | Before Wag the Dog , Michael Moore gave us this quirky film about a President that uses an invasion of Canada to boost his popularity .

433,817 | 2,171,244 | 360,323 | 7 | They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger . | Basic story here is one of situational ethics .

You have to enjoy all that because , with the exception of Donald Sutherland who is always on , the acting isn't there . Wesley Snipes is on... |
432,564 | 2,171,244 | 91,738 | 7 | Happy Birthday Francis | There are more obvious choices for viewing Francis Ford Coppola as a director , but this little gem is worth viewing a Kathleen Turner's best movie , in my humble opinion . For me , it is probably the ultimate fantasy ( except for being the one who makes Halle Berry a happy woman ) . Peggy Sue ( Turner ) is living a cr... |

There are fami... |
433,422 | 2,171,244 | 35,664 | 7 | A good one for Veteran's Day | There is no big action in this film . It could easily be a play . It is , however , a great story of 13 heroic men who stood against impossible odds to do their duty . In that sense , it is a good film for Veteran's day . Most of the soldiers in WWII did not do Audie Murphy style heroics , but did their duty and hung i... |
432,228 | 2,171,244 | 65,761 | 7 | An interesting murder mystery | This may not be Dario Argento's best work , but it is still an interesting story and has some fine performances by Karl Malden and James Franciscus . Some old TV watchers may remember Franciscus as Longstreet , a blind detective , that was out at the same time this film was released . In this film , it is Malden who pl... |

And there is nothing I will not do to get the girl back . | I almost thought that I was watching The Shooter again , but this David Mamet film starring Val Kilmer was way above that . It was reminiscent of watching a Kurosawa samurai film . The cold ( Do I need to know that ? If I want camaraderie , I'll join the Masons . ) , calculating warrior , whose only concern was accompl... |
432,988 | 2,171,244 | 95,897 | 7 | I've known buildings that were easier to talk to than you . | The role of Provost Marshall at the Presidio was not real stretch for Sean Connery .

This time he was protecting his daughter , play... |

434,290 | 2,171,244 | 35,460 | 7 | Hot for Hedy as a Potuguese beauty | It could only happen in Hollywood . They buy the rights to a Steinbeck novel about Mexicans and Portuguese in California and put all white actors in the cast . Now , maybe I can buy Hedy Lamarr as a Portuguese beauty , but Spenser Tracy and John Garfield as Mexicans ? Ludicrous casting , especially when the story is so... |
