434,277 | 2,171,244 | 78,437 | 7 | I'm going to get you home . | Unlike Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust this film was not one of the infamous video nasties banned in Britain . It was like a test run for his famous film . It goes by the name Cannibal in the UK , and by the name The Last Survivor in the censored US version . This is the full film with all the gore and nudity . It... |
432,894 | 2,171,244 | 29,855 | 7 | Lamarr's first American film | No , Charles Boyer never said , " Take me to the Casbah . " That is just as false as " Play it again , Sam , " a line from a film that will come to mind when watching this one . Boyer ( Conquest , Fanny , Gaslight ) picked up his second Oscar nomination for this film . He plays a jewel thief that has found a haven in t... |
432,212 | 2,171,244 | 113,552 | 7 | No , I got a better idea . You hate the taste of metal . Well , it's going in your mouth . Open up . | Everyone is always dissing David Caruso . I think he is alright and he really does a good job in this film . He just wants his life back and wants to take care of his family . He went to jail and lost his wife ( Helen Hunt ) . He made a deal with the D . A . ( Stanley Tucci ) and got revenge on the man responsible ( Mi... |
433,452 | 2,171,244 | 819,875 | 7 | Aren't gay Christians like gay Republicans ? | I never could understand Log Cabin Republicans . How can you support a party that wants to burn you at the stake ? Gay Christians are in the same category . It just doesn't make sense to me . Sure , there are churches where you are accepted , like the Lutheran church in this film , but the vast majority wish you would ... |
434,133 | 2,171,244 | 122,151 | 7 | Action & Laughs - what more do you want ? | OK , it may have been stretching it to go for a fourth Lethal Weapon film . I mean , do you remember Rocky 4 or Death Wish 4 ? But , this film was a departure from the rest and , as such , deserves some credit for what it tried to do . You can't argue with a film that includes Mary Ellen Trainor , Mel Gibson , Danny Gl... |
432,117 | 2,171,244 | 130,883 | 7 | Another song for Christmas | It amazes me how many ways a simple story like Dicken's " A Christmas Carol " can be interpreted . We have the pleasure of watching Cicely Tyson ( Idlewild , A Lesson Before Dying ) in another strong role . John Korty , who directed Ms . Tyson in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman , again directs her as Ms . Ebenit... |
433,028 | 2,171,244 | 902,270 | 7 | Mr Haggard , leave that Wall alone ! | This was an excellent documentary by a former Catholic Priest into the actions of his Church , the evangelical movement , and politicians over the years to discriminate and kill in the name of Jesus . It starts with an overview of the indoctrination of Air Force cadets at the military academy and the resulting bigotry ... |
432,569 | 2,171,244 | 83,366 | 7 | Zorro to the extreme | Tyrone Power in The Mark of Zorro plays a foppish character designed to throw off suspicion that he is , in fact , the legendary Zorro . George Hamilton in an Oscar-worthy performance ( if they gave an award for comedy - which they don't ! ) plays Zorro who is injured and has to rely on his twin brother to stand in . G... |
432,148 | 2,171,244 | 401,088 | 7 | All I wanna do is race , Daddy . | I am sure this was a good movie for those who knew who Dale Earhart was BEFORE he died . For the rest of us , it is just OK . The movie stars Barry Pepper as Dale Earnhart . Pepper has done some good work before ( The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada , The Green Mile ) , and puts forth an excellent performance here ... |
432,962 | 2,171,244 | 286,306 | 7 | What are we defending against Sergeant ? | A horror film with religious overtone ? It seems that is just what this little gem is after all . It takes place in WWI , in a trench , in constant rain , among soldiers that have been given up for dead by their command . Are they dead ? Is this Purgatory ? The lone German soldier tries to warn them that they should ge... |
432,200 | 2,171,244 | 320,691 | 7 | Hot without showing a bit of skin | I really didn't think I would like this film , especially since it got a lousy review and ditto comments , but it really wasn't that bad and I actually watched the whole thing . Yes , I wanted to see Kate Beckinsale . I was thinking about seeing Vacancy and wanted to know if she was worth the price of admission . I was... |
433,242 | 2,171,244 | 906,665 | 7 | The proud do not endure , like a passing dream on a night in spring ; the mighty fall at last , to be no more than dust before the wind . | One does not usually think of westerns when they think of Takashi Miike . In fact , I would have never thought of a western by the director of Greaveyard of Honor , Ichi the Killer , and Bodyguard Kiba . But then I would never have expected a musical either like The Happiness of the Katakuris . So , Miike brings his th... |
434,195 | 2,171,244 | 245,562 | 7 | John Woo's World War Two | John Woo ( The Killer , Hard Boiled ) has finally made " A John Woo Movie " in Hollywood . Finally , hyper-kinetic action and overwrought crises of friendship and conscience in a Hollywood movie . Nicolas Cage's Sergeant Enders has a Navajo code talker to protect and kill , if necessary . Cage's vet is bitter , ferocio... |
433,903 | 2,171,244 | 74,751 | 7 | If he's not gonna eat her , why did he take her ? | Now I know why Tommy Lee Jones has such trouble with his wife in Blue Sky . Her prior experience with King Kong messed her up for life . This was Jessica Lange's debut and she was the best part of this movie . Sure , the sound , special effects , cinematography were all outstanding , and I even liked Jeff Bridges and R... |
433,857 | 2,171,244 | 382,271 | 7 | Love , hit-woman style | This was a really good Columbian film that starred Flora Martínez ( Proof of Life ) as a hit-woman who falls in love . That sounds like a formulaic movie that has been made a thousand times , but Martinez really brings home the film in a way that will keep you watching . I don't know much about Columbia , but i was rea... |
433,811 | 2,171,244 | 47,472 | 7 | What do I need manners for ? I already got me a wife . | This charming musical not only took home an Oscar for Best Music , but gathered up a bushel basket full of nominations : Best Cinematography , Best Film Editing , Best Screenplay , and lost Best Picture to On the Waterfront - No shame in that loss ! There wasn't a whole lot of story here , not surprising as it was base... |
432,208 | 2,171,244 | 83,284 | 7 | Where do I stand for a corner kick ? | John Huston , Oscar winning director of The Treasure of Sierra Madre , gives us an entertaining film about a football match between The Germand and Allied POWs during WWII . Until the actual game , this was just a routine POW movie with the usual obnoxious British Officers , and the one that thinks outside the box ( Mi... |
433,322 | 2,171,244 | 629,145 | 7 | It's not Righteous Kill | Not a particularly noteworthy episode , but another opportunity to see Jerry Orbach as Detective Lennie Briscoe . Executive A . D . A . Jack McCoy ( Sam Waterston ) rips him up on the stand , but Lenny gets the last laugh as he really solves the crime - for which Jack just convicted the wrong man . Jill Hennessy as A .... |
433,122 | 2,171,244 | 64,916 | 7 | Life is only worthwhile when you can face death without showing any fear . | There is nothing like a good spaghetti western to pass a Sunday afternoon , especially when Tiger has little chance of winning . This one is particularly good , as it stars the great Lee Van Cleef as a bounty hunter who foils an attempt to rob $100 , 000 from the army . Filled with lots of interesting characters like B... |
433,276 | 2,171,244 | 100,405 | 7 | We both screw people for money . | Julia Roberts got a Golden Globe along with an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of a prostitute in an updated version of My Fair Lady . As ridiculous as the story is , one has to admit that it was just plain funny . No prostitutes I have ever seen on the news that actually work the streets look like Julia Roberts ; n... |
432,279 | 2,171,244 | 117,894 | 7 | He was a mook , but he was my mook ! | I have only read a couple of Stephen King's books , so I can't comment on whether this is a great adaptation , but it certainly was an interesting movie . One has to stretch their imagination to believe in curses , but if you suspend belief for a while , this film is just plain scary . Not since The Machinist , have I ... |
433,032 | 2,171,244 | 629,238 | 7 | You two take a lot of liberties . | This is an interesting episode not just for the fact that the judge was the wife of the former Mayor of New York . Ray ( benjamin Bratt ) refers to the printer on which the letters to the paper as a " garden variety bubble jet . " He might as well had been talking about Commodore 64s or 5 inch floppies . Few people rem... |
432,623 | 2,171,244 | 990,404 | 7 | Doing what it takes to survive | I enjoyed Ramin Bahrani's Man Push Cart , and this film is equally good . This slice of life is almost a documentary about how life on the edges is lived . Alejandro Polanco and Isamar Gonzales do an excellent job as a 12-year-old brother and a 16-year-old sister who live in a small room over an auto shop . There are n... |
434,120 | 2,171,244 | 52,905 | 7 | This is , I think , a two-pipe problem . | Peter Cushing makes a great Holmes , and the Hammer film was much more enjoyable than the other Holmes film . André Morell makes a better Dr . Watson , and is not so much a bumbling fool as Nigel Bruce . But , I will have to get the 1939 version of this adventure to compare apples with apples . I really liked having Ch... |
432,125 | 2,171,244 | 104,815 | 7 | All I wanted was to be a mariachi , like my ancestors . | I bought this film and Desparados on Region 2 by mistake and so it sat on my shelf for a long time . Fortunately , my new computer plays Region 2 , so I got to see it again in Hi Def . It was as good as I remembered . No , it's not high quality , but it is fantastic considering that it was written , directed , shot , a... |
432,364 | 2,171,244 | 424,136 | 7 | Little Red Riding Hood meets the Big Bad Wolf | Boy , did I get a surprise ! I was watching the Big bad Wolf ( Patrick Wilson ) as he fed line after smooth line in his attempt to seduce Little Red Riding Hood ( Ellen Page ) . He was o so smooth and said just the right things as he lured her to his lair and carefully got ready to pounce . But , boom ! Just when the n... |
434,009 | 2,171,244 | 424,129 | 7 | Only people who remember this is us | The one thing that strikes you more than anything else about the war documentary is how quiet it is . You would expect bombs exploding and bullets whizzing and shouts and screams , but they are all missing from this work by Petra Epperlein and Michael Tucker . What remains is a constant recognition of the tension under... |
432,361 | 2,171,244 | 629,218 | 7 | No more deals | Another episode during what I consider the " dark " period of Law & Order , Farina and Parisse just don't do it for me , but at least Jesse martin is there . An investment banker is found murdered in the wrong part of town . When infidelity is discovered , of course the husband ( Martin Donovan ) is suspected . But , s... |
433,393 | 2,171,244 | 83,232 | 7 | She was cut in two . Do you think it's an epidemic , like the flu ? | Robert De Niro and Robert Duvall are brothers . One is a high mucky muck in the LA Archdiocese and the other is a cop investigating a Black Dahlia-type murder in the 40s . It seems that no matter where the cop turns , there is some connection to his brother's associates , specifically Charles Durning , who is a buildin... |
434,574 | 2,171,244 | 772,185 | 7 | The new Jenny McCarthy | I no longer think of Playboy when I hear the name Jenny McCarthy . I now think of Autism , and good acting .

Mary ( McCarthy ) i... |
432,296 | 2,171,244 | 373,883 | 7 | Was that the bogeyman ? | This is my first Halloween , so I am not cursed by comparing it to something else and am judging it on it's own . Zon Zombie hit a triple in my opinion and put together a film that was entertaining for the most part and damn thrilling at the end . My score is based on jumping out of my seat three times , and four breas... |
432,483 | 2,171,244 | 90,327 | 7 | Hang loose , stay cool , and don't forget your psychic humor . | The suspense never stopped in this film . I sat the whole time on the edge of my seat wondering just what was going to happen next . Two guys , Jim ( Todd Allen ) and Brandon ( Stephen Nichols ) were lifelong friends . Did they have a falling out over Linda ( Tawny Kitaen ) ? They seem to hate each other now , and you ... |
433,573 | 2,171,244 | 473,488 | 7 | I'm a fcking piece of sht . That's what I am . | How many movies have we watched about New York natives ? Most of us have seen Little Italy in Martin Scorsese's " Mean Streets . " Spike Lee's " Summer of Sam " shows us the South Bronx .

He sneaks his w... |
433,461 | 2,171,244 | 196,100 | 7 | Grindhouse action at it's finest | If your cup of tea is martial arts action , then this film is for you . It has lots of action , female nudity , more fighting , some ridiculous Japanese character in black-face , fighting on the rooftops , drugs , burning houses , more nudity , more fights ; it just goes on and on . Somehow there is a point to all of t... |
434,198 | 2,171,244 | 86,984 | 7 | I'd buy THAT for a dollar ! | I am really not sure what to make of this film . Director Brian De Palma seemed to put together a mash-up that really goes all over the place and doesn't make too much sense , but I was stuck watching like a deer in the headlights . First off , Jake ( Craig Wasson ) is just plain stupid . I guess that is why his wife w... |

432,331 | 2,171,244 | 209,163 | 7 | Rachel Weisz is fantastic | I got a chance to see Rachel Weisz in a dark movie last night , but she really shines in this film . I continue to be impressed by her range . It's not a great film by any measure , but it is good fun . Weisz's duel with Patricia Velasquez as the reincarnated Anck-su-Namun was incredible . This is , in one sense , a fa... |
432,915 | 2,171,244 | 187,393 | 7 | Viva la revolution ! | There is a great old 1965 Jimmy Stewart movie called Shenandoah about a father that finds his family in the middle of the Civil War .

432,110 | 2,171,244 | 144,168 | 7 | You suck , Dick ! | This was an absolutely hilarious satire about Richard Nixon and the Watergate cover-up . It was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time . Of course , the fact that it had Kirsten Dunst ( Spider-Man , Bring It On ) as the lead was what drew me to the film , but there were so many great lines , especially t... |
432,399 | 2,171,244 | 60,214 | 7 | Zombies that make you laugh | If you are looking for a zombie film , this will not satisfy you . Sure , it has zombies , but they are too busy devising double entendres and references to Abbott and Costello bits or other films to be gnawing on flesh . Speaking of flesh , Fenella Fielding was just about the hottest vampire I could imagine for the da... |
433,441 | 2,171,244 | 417,148 | 7 | Snakes rock | This movie was a pleasant surprise . Sfter all the negatives , I wasn't expecting anything this good .

433,628 | 2,171,244 | 844,708 | 7 | The Last House Redux | The no-remake purists will be screaming , but the fact is that the 1972 Wes Craven film was just a remake of a film that 99 % of the purists have probably never seen .

It's full of stars ! | This is not a film for the stars , although I was impressed by Roy Scheider ( All That Jazz , The French Connection , Blue Thunder ) and Dame Helen Mirren ( The Queen , Gosford Park , The Madness of King George ) .

432,641 | 2,171,244 | 187,738 | 7 | I'm a Supervamp | It's based on a comic book and revels in that history . It has more grotesque scenes than in all of George Romero's zombie classics combined , which is why it is a hit with horror fans . One of the redeeming factors is it's fight scenes . Don't take my word for it . The fight scenes in this movie are better than Green ... |

Daniel Day Lewis was just about the most evil , heartless , opportunistic sociopath that I ever hope to come across . His performance was mesmerizing . The cinematography for this film was also very good . It was a real pleasure to watch ... |
433,451 | 2,171,244 | 473,308 | 7 | As sweet as strawberry pie . Yum ! | I couldn't get the song " Ya Never Know Just ' Oo You're Gonna Meet " out of my mind . You can hear it in Sherlock Holmes " Dressed to Kill , " but it basically says to always look your best because you never know . That is the thing that is so recurring throughout this film . You just never know who someone will find ... |
432,145 | 2,171,244 | 443,632 | 7 | I did stay in the Holiday Inn Express . | This could have been a great action thriller had it had a better script . Michael Douglas does his best with a tricky role , but he and Kiefer Sutherland should have swapped roles .

You're the craziest fck I ever met . | Gay hit man Leroy ( James Gandolfini ) holds Jerry's ( Bradd Pit ) girlfriend ( Julia Roberts ) hostage until he gets a gun ( The Mexican ) .

Juan Raul Perez ( Molina ) is married to Carmela ( Anjelica Huston ) , who came to America 20 years previous while Juan languished in a... |
434,226 | 2,171,244 | 473,333 | 7 | There are hunters and prey , Norman . That's the only fcking truth in this world . | Compared to Straw Dogs or Deliverance , this thriller set in the Basque region of Spain adds that local charm that makes it worth watching . It features Gary Oldman ( The Dark Knight , Harry Potter ) and Virginie Ledoyen ( 8 Women , The Valet ) , and that's reason enough to watch . Add Aitana Sánchez-Gijón ( The Machin... |
432,146 | 2,171,244 | 377,471 | 7 | If you're important , people will wait . | Cool ? Maybe tepid is the right word . The premise ? that Chili ( John Travolta ) decides to help singer Linda Moon ( Christina Milian - YUM ! ) escape from crooked manager Raji ( Vince Vaughn ) ? is solid , but the story just seems to float all over the place . It was almost as if they were trying to do an Ocean's mov... |
434,406 | 2,171,244 | 75,163 | 7 | What frightens you , what you see or what you don't ? | Tinto Brass ( Caligula , Cheeky ) may not have made a video nasty with this nazisploitation flick , but that is probably because it wasn't released in Britain . This review is the 133 minute director's cut , not the heavily censored 110 minute US version . According to some , both are too long , but at least one person... |
432,557 | 2,171,244 | 86,541 | 7 | It's just torture and murder . No plot , no characters . Very , very realistic . I think it's what's next . | What do you feed the American market ?

434,531 | 2,171,244 | 157,503 | 7 | Kirsten Dunst is a princess | Kirsten Dunst was the cutest thing in the black comedy about the pursuit of the American dream . Showing that fantasy and reality often mirror each other , one is reminded in this film of the Texas mother who hired a hit-man to go after the mom and her cheerleader daughter . Here , it is mom ( Kirstie Alley ) herself t... |

I am not sure what to expect , but I do know they censored Ichi the Killer , so it can't be worse that that . This is a film about hexing and enchantments with some sex and violence thrown in . One guy gets enchanted... |
432,598 | 2,171,244 | 443,496 | 7 | Tastes like Crash | It may be presumptuous to say that this is similar to the great film Crash , but it deals with the same themes of prejudice and intolerance . Stuart Gordon ( Re-Animator , Body Snatchers ) takes a David Maumet ( Ronin , Wag the Dog ) play and has a stellar cast led by William H . Macy , to give us a look at a man who l... |
434,104 | 2,171,244 | 79,073 | 7 | I am the king of my kind . | John Badham directed Roy Schneider in the great Blue Thunder , and here he directs stage actor Frank Langella in a Gothic tale of horror . With Oscar-winner ( Hamlet ) and nine-time Oscar-nominee Laurence Olivier as Professor Van Helsing , this is a classic telling of Bram Stoker's tale that amuses and thrills . Oscar-... |
432,304 | 2,171,244 | 404,318 | 7 | Hottest thing since Selma Hayek | Not all good movies managed to get US distribution .

434,542 | 2,171,244 | 343,095 | 7 | A great Woods performance | I like James Woods , and I thought his performance in this film as a father with Parkinson's was outstanding . The lead , Juliette Marquis , is fairly new , and also did a great job . I was really touched watching her stop her life at times to care for her father , ass-wiping and all . Rosario Dawson made a couple of b... |
432,207 | 2,171,244 | 51,452 | 7 | I'm for that sponge bath ! | In the last episode I was introduced to the girl who would be painted in Goldfinger ( Shirley Eaton ) .

434,316 | 2,171,244 | 55,830 | 7 | You cannot live in isolation from the human race , you know . | This Gothic film is supposedly become a cult favorite . So much so that Criterion has release a two-disk edition of the work . I certainly do not recommend rushing out to purchase it .

433,061 | 2,171,244 | 120,894 | 7 | The line that separates good and evil cuts through every human heart . | This wasn't you usual vampire story with lots of blood and scary scenes .

David has ... |

433,592 | 2,171,244 | 451,987 | 7 | Good fights ; not so much nudity | This pinky violence film has less of the skin that one expects from the series .
