This unlikely trio make good in this Woody Allen vehicle wherein mystery , deceit , and mayhem ensues . I have to say I love this movie , and it's found its way to my collection . Part of the lure and charm is the casting , but the real drive behind this work is the story it... |
558,677 | 2,626,332 | 861,154 | 8 | Quite Well Done , Open Minded , and Open Ended | This documentary was very well presented . It does not attempt to convince you one way , or the other , but rather gives you the facts , the government explanations for these occurrences , and then gives you those sightings which were never explained in any form by any government , and allows you to make an informed op... |
559,415 | 2,626,332 | 250,310 | 8 | Positively risible | Many critics have bashed this movie and Chris Kattan's talents herein . I personally found this movie completely bewitching .

558,632 | 2,626,332 | 29,947 | 8 | Endearingly Sweet | Catherine Hepburn plays well as the beloved flibberty-gibbet who will do anything , and I do mean anything , to be near her man . Many fans do not like Cary Grant's comedic attempts , preferring instead his tough-guy man's man roles . I have to say that I do enjoy his comedic efforts just as well as his actioners , thi... |
559,577 | 2,626,332 | 305,357 | 8 | Fun Sequel . | This movie has been dogged by nearly every critic here at IMDb as being an insult to the original and / or just an all-around bad film , but IMO , it is highly misunderstood .

558,589 | 2,626,332 | 57,129 | 8 | Dark and atmospheric | Wow , what an epic ! Now I understand why fans of this movie hate both the remake , and Stephen King's Rose Red . Instead of using insomniacs as a ruse , as in the remake , clairvoyants are used , as in Rose Red . Both are obvious rip offs to this classic demonstration of suspense . Interesting . And here , I thought R... |

The second installment was lesser to the original , but this third chapter surp... |
559,188 | 2,626,332 | 102,744 | 8 | Interesting and Memorable Blend | This is a different kind of Western , featuring Tom Selleck as an American cowboy in Australia , Laura San Giacomo as a mentally challenged and emotionally shattered woman Selleck must save , and Alan Rickman as the villain . This is a general crowd-pleaser as it paces the suspense and action slowly enough to make the ... |

558,849 | 2,626,332 | 100,403 | 8 | Different style from the first - ! | This movie starts out with a gangland riot / war happening in LA . Okay , no problem . Then it drags a voodoo bocur into the scene and I was like , " WTF ? ! This isn't PREDATOR ! " I checked the box and sure enough , it was . So I unpaused the DVD and started again . This attempt is completely different than the first... |
559,052 | 2,626,332 | 402,894 | 8 | Delightful , Big Budgeted , Period Rom / Com | This is a beautiful piece , but at the same time , the lovely period setting takes a back seat to the romantic comedy vehicle .

559,555 | 2,626,332 | 111,503 | 8 | Great Action / Comedy which can double as a date movie ! | This is one of my favorite Schwarzenegger actioners . I was afraid this movie ( along with the long line of Kid titles and inane comedies ) would lead him down the path trodden so deeply by Eddie Murphy . Thankfully , that was not the case . He took another path to banality . That having been said , this is one witty ,... |

558,932 | 2,626,332 | 76,582 | 8 | Delightful ! | This is a low budget production which parodies life's situations . It is a pop-culture-driven vehicle which feels like Monty Python Meets Mel Brooks Meets Benny Hill . While it truly has not withstood the tests of time , it is still a highly amusing film ! There is a skit which parodies the old Ma and Pa Kettle movies ... |
559,631 | 2,626,332 | 167,427 | 8 | As An Ex-Catholic , This Is Very Enjoyable ! | This work brings back memories of school . Those were good days . Mary Catherine Gallagher is a misfit .

559,626 | 2,626,332 | 331,933 | 8 | Delightful Deviation From Tommy Lee Jones's Usual Formula | Well , that plane just flew into the side of a mountain ! Call off the search ! No survivors ! Honestly , this is a huge deviation , as Jones is still a cop-this time a Texas Ranger , but it is a pseudo-comedy with his only a smidgen of his dramatic action woven throughout . The direction is quite good , highlighting t... |
559,480 | 2,626,332 | 55,073 | 8 | Introspective Romantic Western . | This runs like a soap opera , however , it is more thoughtful than that . This is a female introspective , where it comes to who to trust , and when . Other than that , this is enjoyable and ranks above purely enjoyable fluff , in spite of the unlikely casting of Rock Hudson alongside Kirk Douglas . That's like casting... |
559,572 | 2,626,332 | 288,045 | 8 | Don't listen to the nay-saying critics . This film is wonderful . | If you're looking for a serious martial arts film , this isn't it .

559,424 | 2,626,332 | 183,649 | 8 | Suspenseful mind game | This movie is fantastic on many levels . While it is highly entertaining , it is just as disturbing .

559,538 | 2,626,332 | 27,260 | 8 | This is a deserving sequel that is fun throughout . | Wow , second film out of the gate , and Jimmy Stewart is on board ! I'm sure this must have been noticed before , but in all honestly , the mystery herein was not very complicated , and not very hard to figure out , and indeed it seems as though the mystery is superfluous to the opportunity to showcase Myrna Loy and Wi... |
559,224 | 2,626,332 | 51,459 | 8 | I will think of it fondly for the rest of my life . | This is a fantastic look into a dysfunctional American family , 1950's Style . I was prepared to hate this movie , as I typically don't get into dramas at all . Fortunately , I was completely drawn in . Paul Newman's character ( Brick ) is enigmatic at best , but somehow , because Maggie the Cat loves him so much and i... |
559,055 | 2,626,332 | 271,946 | 8 | One of Jackie's best Chinese productions . | This is definitely one of the best of the Chinese line of Jackie's work .

559,511 | 2,626,332 | 484,562 | 8 | Completely Fun | We viewed this work at Movies on the Parkway in Sevierville , TN ; our hometown theater . This film begins with a " folded " feeling not unlike the first Neverending Story in that the boy discovers he is in the story . . . that , indeed , he IS the story . From that point on , it runs like a younger version of The Cove... |
559,535 | 2,626,332 | 34,172 | 8 | This one is closer to The Thin Man than Another Thin Man . | Ridiculous hats , less of the baby , and more of the Nick and Nora we all love . But this time , the chemistry is better than the previous installment . The story is more rich , although there is no danger of rivaling the first two installments , this one is a far cry closer than the preceding installment . In the 1930... |
559,496 | 2,626,332 | 278,504 | 8 | Effective cat and mouse . | Very effective cat and mouse psychological thriller . Nice suspense even WITH Pacino . I'm not a fan of Al Pacino's work . I haven't really liked but 6 or so films he's ever done , so I didn't have high expectations of this movie . That , combined with my fore-knowledge that the copy I had skipped and fluttered , didn'... |

558,688 | 2,626,332 | 111,730 | 8 | Excellent movie ! | This is not just an entertaining little movie .

559,226 | 2,626,332 | 117,608 | 8 | Refreshing new spin on an old favorite . | As a movie based on a popular TV series , this movie is nothing like the series .

559,306 | 2,626,332 | 183,790 | 8 | An odd but satisfying blend | I was doubtful as to the quality of this endeavor , when it first hit the rags . Rock Music featured along with a medieval tale . Hmm . . . Frankly , it didn't sound like a good idea , but I attempted to keep an open mind . The first scene where this phenomenon was displayed , I was still doubtful . We Will Rock You is... |

558,676 | 2,626,332 | 860,046 | 8 | This Is A Very Detailed , In-Depth Look At The Bigfoot Legend . | This was very well done . Not surprising for National Geographic , but exciting that NG would sponsor such a documentary . The documentarians do not attempt to prove or disprove the legend .

558,975 | 2,626,332 | 768,212 | 8 | Underrated and Under-appreciated | To me , this plays like the children's ' version of What the Bleep Do We Know ? Down the Rabbit Hole . This IS Down the Rabbit Hole in one aspect , and appears to bear ties to Through the Looking Glass , as well , but that is a large part of its charm . This is not so much Alice in Wonderland , but is more what would h... |

559,272 | 2,626,332 | 445,934 | 8 | Neuvo-Classic Comedy | I have to say this was a complete surprise .

That was our first indication that he could do something better , and still remain within the comfortable c... |
559,131 | 2,626,332 | 82,533 | 8 | A deserving cult classic . | There are few fence-riders where this movie is concerned .

559,297 | 2,626,332 | 117,731 | 8 | First Contact ; a quirky , odd , and sometimes weak best installment | While this is not as solid as its predecessors , this is the first of the series in which the Next Generation attempts to stand on its own .

558,668 | 2,626,332 | 135,659 | 8 | Beautiful atmospheric suspense behind a darkly Machiavellian story | Quite honestly , at first , I did not know what to make of this film .

In my opinion , while it doesn't come close to Blazing Saddles , Young Frankenstein , Robin Hood : Men in Tights , or Spaceballs , it does rank with the Naked Gun and Airport movies . It is not intelligent , but it is plain stupid fun . Turn off your intellig... |
558,693 | 2,626,332 | 207,275 | 8 | A magickal experience . | My expectations were low . This was a " Hallmark " made for TV attempt that smacked of smarm and registered high on the " cuteness " factor . Neither of those elements prove to be very endearing , where I'm concerned . I was delightfully surprised . This was an almost addictive near-seven hour epic . A seven hour movie... |
558,826 | 2,626,332 | 320,244 | 8 | Superficially Superficial | On the surface , this appears to be a pretty pointless flick . In reality , however , this work is quite well informed concerning drug abuse , and unrestrained sexuality . This is depraved and despairing as it enlightens One to the NY Club Kid phenomenon via the life of one confused , sad , love-starved , drug-crazed l... |
559,541 | 2,626,332 | 49,366 | 8 | This is pretty atmospheric and tense . | My favorite version of this work is the 1978 Philip Kaufman work featuring Donald Sutherland , with Jeff Goldblum and Leonard Nimoy . But that is because I am a fan of those actors . As far as the actual WORK goes , I must admit I am blown away by the atmosphere , the caliber of performance , and the overall execution ... |
559,606 | 2,626,332 | 102,070 | 8 | Campy Humor at its best ! ! | This movie was supposed to be a big blockbuster hit . but it ended up as almost the end to Bruce Willis's career .

559,034 | 2,626,332 | 395,699 | 8 | Purely Fun Family Film | Vin Diesel ? In a Comedy ? Yes ! And he's awesome ! I'm hoping this doesn't indicate a genre change for Diesel-I love watching his actioners , but when he decides he needs to retire , he should definitely give comedy a sincere consideration . This wasn't " awesome , " but it was highly enjoyable . The premise has been ... |
559,257 | 2,626,332 | 494,238 | 8 | Inkheart is a highly enjoyable film . But it is NOT the book . | Let me begin by saying I have read the book and most of the second . When I saw the trailer , there were so many elements I could not place that I presumed this film would be some combination of all three books , and almost did not see it as I had not yet read the last book . I'm glad I did not succumb to this temptati... |
558,735 | 2,626,332 | 758,730 | 8 | What a Nice Surprise ! | I saw it was set in Colorado , and I had my doubts . I saw it featured a cast I had never heard of and I had further doubts . I read a few of the story ideas , and I almost passed on this one . I'm glad I didn't . First off , this was rated " R " rather than the watered-down whiny version of AvP which was served to us ... |
559,613 | 2,626,332 | 99,864 | 8 | Under-rated and unappreciated . | Highly entertaining adaptation of King's beloved literary work . Far better than its ratings would suggest . I didn't want to like this movie . The cast was a motley crew at best , and the screenplay wasn't like the book . But what I found when I bought this movie was : it was better . INFINITELY BETTER ! All the " fat... |
559,280 | 2,626,332 | 119,784 | 8 | Atmospherically dark , twisted , and gory . | I loved this adaptation ! ! Believe it or not ! It was dramatic , bloody , graphic and INTENSE just like the story was . But this was adapted from a short story . It is in my opinion that short stories tend to be easier to adapt , as they have little room for detail or too MUCH story , thereby making it easier to adapt... |
559,371 | 2,626,332 | 92,632 | 8 | A delightful surprise . | I read the box . I saw the previews . I was unimpressed . But in viewing this production , I must say I was delightfully surprised .

559,637 | 2,626,332 | 413,099 | 8 | Sweet and Beautiful . | I know I'm in the minority and this , like many of my other reviews will receive poor marks here at IMDb . I cannot allow that to color my reviews , and therefore , I do not . Although I thoroughly enjoy it , I can see why this tanked at the box office . This work is going to be insulting to Christians , and anyone els... |

558,652 | 2,626,332 | 104,409 | 8 | Coffee with Pinhead . | This was the definitive movie in the Hellraiser series in that it defined Pinhead as the ultimate nemesis whereas before , Frank held that role .

Atlantis was one such movie , without the first usual musical-ish feeling or element . It was a grand movie , with a beautiful feeling about it . This is another of those deviations , but without the same ... |
558,634 | 2,626,332 | 122,933 | 8 | Sweet and Smart | This film is delightful . It's also sad and disrespectful , while maintaining a nice level of dark comedy .

559,651 | 2,626,332 | 220,506 | 8 | Conflicted and uneven , but still fun | This attempt begins with a beautiful sequence between Laurie Strode ( reprised by Jamie Lee Curtis ) and Michael Myers .

She did not surviv... |
559,628 | 2,626,332 | 120,873 | 8 | The Fugitive Sequel Is An Awesome Stand Alone Feature ! | Tommy Lee Jones is totally believable as Chief Deputy Marshall Sam Gerard .

559,648 | 2,626,332 | 357,277 | 8 | Flawed but fun | I can see why comic book purists aren't happy with Elektra , but they are missing out on a fun 90 + minutes ! Firstly , let me congratulate Ms .

559,544 | 2,626,332 | 120,891 | 8 | If This Hadn't Been Associated Wtih The Television Series , It Would Have Done Well ! | Honestly , what most people didn't like about this film is that they cast Will Smith in a part previously carried by a white guy , a popular actor , and the lead of another popular television show , Ba Ba Black Sheep .

559,053 | 2,626,332 | 114,345 | 8 | While Not Well Received , This Is Quite Well Done | I must inform you that that Roland Joffé has utterly bastardized Nathaniel Hawthorne's work with this film , but I find I must review the film as a film , rather than an adaptation due to the strength of the film itself in comparison to the original literary work .
