559,104 | 2,626,332 | 51,406 | 9 | Bell Book & Candle ; a fun , sweet love story for all ages ! | As a Pagan , I must say this movie has little if any Magickal significance . It's a " fun " witchcraft movie and not meant to teach us anything except that love is the strongest Magick of all , and never to use it in a controlling or vengeful way . That's a lesson everyone needs to learn , not just Pagans . That having... |
559,166 | 2,626,332 | 371,746 | 9 | VERY well done ! This is even GRITTY ! Wow ! | I have to ask . . . Who better to play a middle-aged , wrung-out , loser than Robert Downey , Jr . ? I say that with the utmost fondness , however , as I loved the IronMan comics as a kid , and I've never minded Robert Downey , Jr . as an actor . But in this role , he seems to have found his niche . I hope this run las... |

558,555 | 2,626,332 | 108,333 | 9 | This was the first High Dollar Disney Live Action to Really Pull it Off . | In later years , Disney has managed a wild success with the Pirates of the Caribbean run , and most people think this is the first non-animated Disney full-length feature to really achieve the height of story or accomplish the epic filming of the aforementioned franchise . Unfortunately , that is not the case . Disney'... |
558,812 | 2,626,332 | 73,195 | 9 | Above Par Creature Feature | Jaws is legendary , as the epitome of classic-modern horror . It is so wildly popular , as to have thoroughly permeated into the heart of American pop-culture . And while it wasn't his first , it was certainly Steven Spielberg's first large budget , and his first hit , propelling his career into the mega-success he is ... |
559,373 | 2,626,332 | 118,928 | 9 | Highly superior underdog | Excellent , creative use of the 104M budget here . This is the supreme example of Mother Nature when She has totally gone awry . Beautifully written , realistically executed , and professionally presented , this movie could not have delivered more bang for the buck . Released this same year , was Volcano . It featured ... |
559,437 | 2,626,332 | 97,125 | 9 | I Liked It ! | As usual , I'm in the minority . This film was very compelling ! It bears intrigue , suspense , and a high level of atmosphere ! Gary Oldman ( who is VERY young here ) is a defense attorney in a crisis . His client , it seems , should have been convicted for the crime for which Oldman has successfully defended him . Th... |
558,563 | 2,626,332 | 110,475 | 9 | Clearly Carrey's Best | Jim Carrey's style is considered by most fans to be over the top . So how do you cast a man like that ? You give him a script like the Mask , that's how . This is by far Jim Carrey's best work . There are some that are AMONG his best , but this is THE best I've seen him do . A Cheezy but highly amusing storyline , grea... |
558,783 | 2,626,332 | 101,862 | 9 | Some of Steve Martin's best work . | First , this review is for Father of the Bride 1 AND 2 . If run back to back , they run like one beautiful story . This production is great from start to finish . Everything about it is wonderful , including the story , the acting performances and the direction . This is the best example of Martin's versatility as an a... |
558,997 | 2,626,332 | 430,634 | 9 | Brazenly Inspirational | This is far above average for the dramatic " feel-good " subgenre . This work shows a creativity and sense of what should be right with this world and society , which lends a credibility to the work , itself . The performances , direction , story , and execution were all exemplary . I have no complaints , whatsoever . ... |
559,475 | 2,626,332 | 413,267 | 9 | WAY Better Than The " Professional " Critics Led Me To Expect ! | Being the third installment in a hugely successful franchise , this is usually where a run begins to show real franchise sickness . That , coupled with the horrid reviews submitted by the " professional " critics , I really expected something so convoluted and largely unfunny , as to make this nigh unwatchable . What I... |
559,394 | 2,626,332 | 42,332 | 9 | Sweet , Timess Classic | This Disney animated classic sure does live up to the term , " classic . " The characters here are well conceived , presented , and executed , as is the storyline , the premise , the tale , and the animation . This is among the oldest of Disney's animated feature-length films , and in my opinion , the older ones are th... |
559,617 | 2,626,332 | 55,928 | 9 | Origins | To say this is one of my favorite Bond films would become boring after a while of reading my reviews . I love all the Bond films , so I can't say I love this one , and have that serve as any form of distinction from the rest of the long-time run . What I WILL say is that this is probably one of the best of the Bond fil... |
558,585 | 2,626,332 | 108,358 | 9 | Cinema rarely gets any better than this ! | I found this movie moving , exciting , rousing , and imaginative . This is , in my opinion , the best modern western ever . The research done into the Wild , Wild Western days of the old United States simply blows One away . This was by far the best western of the " Western Revival " era . Historically and on the level... |
559,005 | 2,626,332 | 34,587 | 9 | One of the Greatest Horrors Ever Made | This work is definitive in that it is a shining demonstration of what TO do with a camera . THIS is one fine work , cinematically speaking . The story is compelling , and the performances are striking as they move through the well written story , however , the photography is the uppermost attribute of this work . Altho... |
558,636 | 2,626,332 | 486,946 | 9 | Fun , Summer Fare with a Message . | This movie starts out much like many 80's generated mid-life-crisis flicks , particularly , " City Slickers . " However , once it gets going ( and it does so quite quickly ) , the differences are quite glaring . . . in a good way . Having been involved in the world demonstrated here , I have to say that I began this mo... |
559,266 | 2,626,332 | 413,300 | 9 | Clearly the Best . . . and Hopefully the End | When it comes to Spider-man , Raimi clearly knows his business ! I was a bit apprehensive when I saw the black suit . I already knew that the Green Goblin 2 would be involved , there was the back story and sub-plotted love triangle romance between Parker , MJ , and Osborne , Sandman was cast , and the black Spidey-suit... |
559,360 | 2,626,332 | 95,159 | 9 | The funniest rom-com ever | Four jewel thieves pull off the heist of a lifetime , and immediately begin screwing each other over for the loot . Full of twists and turns and some of truly wonderful performances combine to create one of the funniest farces to be put on screen . This movie won Kevin Kline the best supporting actor Oscar . It also en... |
558,647 | 2,626,332 | 315,983 | 9 | Bad timing for an otherwise worthy endeavor . | The timing was all wrong for a movie of this kind ; otherwise , it would have been a good endeavor . I really don't know how anyone else feels , but in the days of trials and tribulations , when hundreds of thousands of Americans have no idea from month to month if their children , husbands and wives , mothers and fath... |
559,622 | 2,626,332 | 489,327 | 9 | O'Toole : Still the Master of his Art . | Venus is a loving ( albeit irreverent ) look into a May / December romance involving Maurice and " Venus , " the ne'er-do-well grandniece of Maurice's best friend , Ian . Maurice's latent submissive personality results in a volatile end when he continues the slow and nearly-successful seduction of his precious Venus in... |
558,557 | 2,626,332 | 86,312 | 9 | Frighteningly realistic portrayal of industrial revenge | The all star cast delivers all star performances in this first rate drama . I won't alliterate the story line , anymore than I have in the Summary , but this work was very compelling , demonstrating a realism seldom found in these types of works . Do not be surprised to find yourself emotionally invested in these chara... |
559,162 | 2,626,332 | 383,216 | 9 | Martin's Version is LIGHTYEARS ahead of the original ! | Steve Martin has walked in the Valley of the Kings . He has faced some pretty amazing obstacles , and he has stood in some pretty big shadows . Let's face it . Although his rendition of , " The Out-of-Towners , " was amusing , he's no Jack Lemmon . While I LOVE his Sgt . Bilko portrayal , he's not Phil Silvers . Cheape... |
559,096 | 2,626,332 | 110,357 | 9 | Instant Disney Classic | Gods I love this movie ! The soundtrack is exemplary as is every element of this beautiful Disney masterpiece . The Baboon , affectionately dubbed " Bruce-Monkey " after Bruce Lee , is a scream ! Jeremy Irons ' voice as Scar is absolutely Shakesperean in its darkling malevolence . James Earl Jones's voice is a perfect ... |
559,451 | 2,626,332 | 103,639 | 9 | One of Disney's Best Animated Features . | I'll have to say that , although this work features lovingly created and developed characters , an excellent score with Disney music I actually didn't hate , and a prolific use of vivid colors , which I loved , the one factor that made this totally work for Disney was Robin Williams . I won't spoil this for you if you ... |
559,300 | 2,626,332 | 86,393 | 9 | It's better than the other 2 ! ! | I adore Richard Pryor . While I'm not as fond of his raunchier performances , he is very endearing , otherwise , and this movie is no exception . While some have expressed dismay at his participation in this endeavor , I found his performance very refreshing as the comedic involvement , rather than Ned Beaty's whiny , ... |
558,901 | 2,626,332 | 36,613 | 9 | Fiendishly Lovely | Honestly , aside from the story itself , the greatest element of this movie is Cary Grant . He is delightfully whimsical , and rather sweet as the nephew of a couple of serial murderers who feel the need to alleviate the suffering of lonely older gentlemen via good company , a home cooked meal , and poisoned wine in th... |
559,081 | 2,626,332 | 139,414 | 9 | Surprisingly enjoyable creature feature | I was hesitant to see this movie because of the subject matter and Bridget Fonda being a major cast member . I had seen her performances in " Godfather III " and " Army of Darkness , " and frankly I wasn't the least bit impressed by her abilities . The video store I used when this movie was released offered free viewin... |
559,177 | 2,626,332 | 425,406 | 9 | Compelling and Gritty Realism . Jose Pablo Cantillo Is Awesome ! | This was so tense and realistic , that I was glued to my seat . Jose Pablo Cantillo is an awesome talent , with a strong presence on the big screen . He made this work seem so real . His performance was not just a performance ; he made this feel like he WAS the character . This little-known work is far above any drama ... |
558,833 | 2,626,332 | 77,745 | 9 | Works Less , But Gives The Audience More Than The Original | This was a stylish production back in the 1970's . The cast was cleverly chosen , and the production itself bore a slick style , an atmospheric execution , and a compelling story . The cast was well chosen ; so well chosen , in fact , as to assist this now-dated remake in besting the original film . This film has becom... |
558,889 | 2,626,332 | 99,422 | 9 | Genuinely Good | Beatty's choice of color and light , style , and awesome casting all come together with a compelling mob script to make one heck of a movie . This was a real surprise , as I had personally never thrilled in the Dick Tracy line , but this film is top row ! The all-star cast comes together in a startling way to present t... |
558,949 | 2,626,332 | 86,190 | 9 | Good , But Not As Good As The First Two | This time , directed by Richard Marquand with Lawrence Kasdan writing the screenplay once more based on Luca$'s original work . Well here we are . I must say that this is my least favorite of the Original Trilogy . It is a wonderful story , the great original cast from the first two ( Episodes 4 & 5 ) , and the story i... |
559,547 | 2,626,332 | 51,744 | 9 | Nice , dark twisted tale of terror . | Frederick Lauren has rented the house for a party for his wife . He is offering a staggering amount of money ( for 1959 ) to anyone who could last the night . It was his wife's idea that the guests arrive in funeral cars . This was a low budget thriller produced and directed by William Castle back in the late 1950's . ... |
559,299 | 2,626,332 | 81,573 | 9 | Even better than the original ! ! | Another box office smash hit by Salkind ! Reeve is the shining star as Superman in this above-average sequel . Although great in the first installment , his performance far outshines that of the original Superman production . I remember seeing this movie in the theaters with my mom . She was the avid movie - and sci / ... |
558,877 | 2,626,332 | 119,174 | 9 | Totally FREAKS you ! | If you are into the sub-genre of psychological horror / thrillers , this movie is a definite must-see . While I have never been wholly impressed by Michael Douglas's performances ( he is most certainly NOT his father ) , this was , by far , the exception to that rule . I won't ruin any aspect of this movie by detailing... |
558,715 | 2,626,332 | 370,263 | 9 | I had issues . . . but most of them were resolved with the UNRATED EDITION's release . | I went into the theater with little in the way of expectations . I love both franchises and I frankly did not believe they could do this one properly . The performances were quite good , the effects were great ( although they did something weird to the mandibles on the Predators that I found to be a poor incarnative de... |
559,498 | 2,626,332 | 96,895 | 9 | Beautiful , dark rendition of the Dark Knight vein . | Directed by darkling master Tim Burton , this dark , Gothic / punk action adventure is absolutely wonderful entertainment . Jack Nicholson was perfectly cast as Batman's nemesis , the Joker . His performance alone would have made this movie the hit that it is ; no one does crazy like Nicholson . No one . " Winged Freak... |
559,016 | 2,626,332 | 316,396 | 9 | Stunningly visual , and beautifully dark . | I love this movie . I don't understand why this one didn't fare well in the box offices . It didn't score half its budget back in its take , so far , and I don't see it doing much more , at this juncture , which is a real shame . This production is magnificent . It retells the familiar story with stunning visuals , bea... |
559,641 | 2,626,332 | 108,149 | 9 | It Changed My LIfe | This film not only looks at a mentally disturbed youth on the streets of America , it also looks at intelligence , sensitivity , articulation , and heart . This is not the best role Will Smith has ever taken , and it is not his best performance , but I do have to say that it is by far his most human one . This is truly... |
559,601 | 2,626,332 | 88,170 | 9 | Star Trek power and style return | Now more comfortable on the big screen , the tongue-in-cheek humor is back , the edge has returned , and the wardrobe has had a much-needed face-lift . Spock's phantom voice coming from Bones's mouth . . . words Bones would never utter stream from his lips . . . Is our favorite doctor suffering some kind of breakdown ?... |
559,419 | 2,626,332 | 134,084 | 9 | Deserving concluding trilogy chapter | While fully exploited and mimicked by every hack writer / director throughout the movie industry , this is series stands alone . . . without peer . This last installment of the " Scream " trilogy perpetuates the wonderfully creative job Wes Craven did in the first two . I expected the typical campy , slip-shod third in... |
558,971 | 2,626,332 | 102,926 | 10 | Chillingly realistic | For character development of Hannibal Lecter , please view Red Dragon , first . It is the prequel to this movie , and bestows the viewer with much needed information not gleaned from this production . The end of " Red Dragon " tells us that Hannibal has an upcoming visit from another FBI agent to look forward to ; a fe... |
559,295 | 2,626,332 | 102,975 | 10 | Political spade drama entertains | The Undiscovered Country is just that . . . the Klingons are on the verge of annihilation from their own greed and warmongering and it's up to Kirk and his crew to save them . Boy , are they in trouble . This movie is absolutely one of the best . It has every element which makes a good movie into a successful movie , a... |
558,642 | 2,626,332 | 382,625 | 10 | Solid , faithful adaptation , which presents some beautiful portrayals , a little gritty action , and a compelling story . | WARNING : SPOILERS AT THE BOTTOM ! First off , this review is concerning the movie , not the book itself . I will begin with the casting . There has been a lot said over the past year or so since the casting list was unveiled , expressing misgivings concerning what has been called the " miscasting " of Tom Hanks in the... |
559,230 | 2,626,332 | 21,884 | 10 | Karloff's most memorable | Even though in 1931 this movie was already a remake , this is an age-old classic . Done in 1931 , fully black and white , this amazingly creepy tale still bears the marks of a genuine masterpiece . Having withstood the tests of time , I find this brilliantly directed portrayal just as darkly enchanting as I did 30 year... |
559,161 | 2,626,332 | 204,640 | 10 | Inspiring , Amusing , and Enriching | I am usually one who loves effects and huge KABOOM flix . Gimme Eye Candy , or get off my screen ! But once in a great while , someone will bring out an Indy ( May , Ginger Snaps , Brotherhood of the Wolf ) which grabs me and won't let go . This is one of those jewels . Based on small town life in Texas , this wonderfu... |
559,337 | 2,626,332 | 167,261 | 10 | A Masterpiece ! | The epic saga continues , picking up right where the first left off , complete with hand sewn banners hung throughout the Golden Hall of Rohan , hand-fashioned armor and elves ! These works are perhaps the best I have ever seen . In the genre of fantasy , this series is seriously in danger of having replaced Star Wars ... |
559,336 | 2,626,332 | 167,260 | 10 | A Masterpiece ! | This movie brought together everything the first two laid out , tied them into nice , neat little bundles , and concluded the whole trilogy just as it should . It does not conclude as you wish it to , but rather as Tolkien intended . The battle scenes were simply awesome this time around . With Helm's Deep , we were am... |
558,976 | 2,626,332 | 499,596 | 10 | Vastly Underrated and Generally Misunderstood | This work seeks to explain why Magick and the powers of Creation are real and linked to our daily reality by way of quantum mechanics , neurobiology and the power of human consciousness . So there IS a lot to understand . Personally , I can understand why the rating here is so low . If the common man cannot understand ... |
558,874 | 2,626,332 | 120,737 | 10 | A Masterpiece ! | I wasn't going to review this movie . There are hundreds of reviews on it and I frankly wasn't going to waste my time repeating the same words of praise . When I first learned that they were doing these movies , I thought , " Great ! Another series of movies I'll hate , modeled after a trilogy of books that I love . " ... |
559,551 | 2,626,332 | 83,791 | 10 | Jim Henson's Masterpiece . | This has all the elements of brilliant horror / fantasy : an ancient evil , a damaged holy relic , a clan of wizards , a hero , and a prophecy . Additionally , it has elements so far above and beyond the " norm , " that I am simply amazed that this movie does not have a stronger following . These elements include a con... |
558,597 | 2,626,332 | 171,363 | 10 | As Good As The Original , But For Different Reasons . | The house itself is absolutely breathtaking , the cast of characters is completely wonderful and the performances are purely professional . The effects are superb and the finished product is way more than the sum of its mere parts . In this jaded , desensitized society in which we live , it is growing harder and harder... |
559,339 | 2,626,332 | 32,976 | 10 | All around , an excellent production . | his movie is a 10 from the very beginning . The casting is brilliant , the story is hauntingly beautiful , the performances are the best of what Hollywood once was , and the sets are of quality design and architecture . The direction is awesome , but it's Hitchcock , and I expect nothing less from his productions . Reb... |
559,252 | 2,626,332 | 120,631 | 10 | Preferred rendition of the Cinderella Story . | Regardless of how closely this follows the original telling , this is a lovely , endearing , and compelling tale , told as the " real " story of Cinderella . It does not matter whose version was original , from which country it was told , or who the players were ( Prince Henry of France in fact married Catherine de Med... |
558,598 | 2,626,332 | 89,469 | 10 | Melancholy tale of life , love and fantasy . | I highly recommend the " Ultimate " edition of this movie on DVD . The director's cut is par excellence ! The re-added scenes , the restored footage , the creative soundtrack was WAY worth the money spent . This is a tale of balance : darkness / light , love / hate , good / evil . What is also is ; however , is a marve... |
559,586 | 2,626,332 | 387,056 | 10 | THE definitive behind-the-scenes look at " Alien " | This most comprehensive documentary takes you from the very seed of conceptional idea to the finished product of the Director's Cut DVD Alien Quadrilogy Collector's Set . It is longer in duration than the film itself , and documents every detail of pre-production , production , filming , post-production , marketing , a... |
558,844 | 2,626,332 | 366,780 | 10 | Wolfgang Petersen Meets American McGee , Powered By The Henson Workshop . Beautiful ! | This darkling adventure is completely unique in its execution . The story is a common-place tale of a girl , coming to terms with her mother's illness , her father's obsession with business , and her own mortality ; all while on the verge of womanhood . What makes this so unique are the visual details , which made up t... |
558,946 | 2,626,332 | 80,684 | 10 | AS Good ! ! | Is it possible that this is even better than Star Wars : Episode IV ? This chapter of the Star Wars saga is unique in that it is neither directed , nor written by Luca$ . Irvin Kershner directs and Leigh Brackett & Lawrence Kasdan are the credited writers of this screenplay . I consider that is why it is widely thought... |
558,802 | 2,626,332 | 71,853 | 10 | A Masterpiece . | Monty Python takes a bit of getting used to , as their comedy company is somewhat of an acquired taste for most Americans who aren't accustomed to the dry British wit featured in these movies . However , they are absolute geniuses of comedy , as is demonstrated here in their first full-length feature film , " Monty Pyt... |
558,620 | 2,626,332 | 297,720 | 10 | Stunning in conception and execution | Alien Evolution is a documentary-maker's dream .

It is a 64 . 21 minute long inside look into the minds of the writers , giving you the story behind the story . Many critics have dogged this work since its release s... |
559,595 | 2,626,332 | 76,759 | 10 | One of the most successful movies of all time ( and I'm not talking about the Box Office take ) | What made this the hugely successful triumph it was ? Was it casting , music , imagination , ingenuity , or luck ? I remember opening day at the theaters . I was old enough to remember every scene , every character , every nuance of this film ; having committed it to memory forever , as if I would never again be able t... |
559,282 | 2,626,332 | 212,720 | 10 | Spielberg forges a diamond | Starting with Kubrick's genius should have made this work a " snap .

It has been rated ( though I honestly can not remember by whom , at this writing ) as the most graphic movie ever made for the amount of gore and bloodshed contained ther... |
558,709 | 2,626,332 | 71,877 | 10 | Wonderful , fun , clever mystery . | Brilliantly clever " Who-Done-It " closely adapted to Agatha Christie's literary work . Wonderful , fun , clever mystery .

559,084 | 2,626,332 | 320,691 | 10 | Underworld . A new legend is born . | Let me start this review by saying that , while this work is NOT scary , it was not MEANT to be scary . This production was classed into the genre of " Horror , " strictly due to the " monster " factor . There are " tense " moments , to be sure , but this is not a " boo ! " kind of movie . There is ; however , plenty o... |
558,619 | 2,626,332 | 254,542 | 10 | Awesome | For a documentary short , this is quite informative .

Crichton speaks up , and we are treated with some behind the scenes levi... |
558,637 | 2,626,332 | 416,449 | 10 | A Visually Stunning , Beautifully Written Bloodbath . | I found 300 to be startling in its graphic portrayal of a battle of 300 against thousands . While it was reminiscent of both Helm's Deep and the battle on Pelennor Plains , it still retained a feeling all its own . Some critics have compared this work against Jackson's , but I don't think that's appropriate . This film... |
559,250 | 2,626,332 | 106,220 | 10 | Superior to the first in every way ! | This installment was far superior to the first in every way !

Raul Julia has passed on , and Christina Ricci is frankly too old to be doing... |

559,515 | 2,626,332 | 29,583 | 10 | Timeless ? Classic . | While this work is incredible and does still stand up to scrutiny ( especially with the upcoming digital transfer DVD release from Disney ) , I can't say that it's timeless . In viewing , it is very much a retrospect , considering the setting , scene , backgrounds , costumes , etc . Does that lessen the effectiveness o... |
559,457 | 2,626,332 | 476,926 | 10 | Hundreds of Children Found Because of Nancy Grace ! | Nancy Grace comes off as a cajones-busting blood-sucking ogre , and if you are hurting innocents , breaking the law , or lying to the world , she will be your worst nightmare , should you cross her radar . However , this woman CARES . I love her show , her mission , and her ferocity in pursuing the truths of the cases ... |
559,652 | 2,626,332 | 53,285 | 10 | A true work of art . | This is my absolute favorite Disney animated feature length film . This Disney classic animation feature concerns a cursed princess , a handsome prince , three good faeries who use Nature Magicks , and one of the best Disney villains of all time ; evil personified is Maleficent . I must say that the 2-disk Special Edit... |
559,633 | 2,626,332 | 375,920 | 10 | Simply Stunning . | Again , as usual actually , I am in the minority . Johnny Depp is this generation's most talented character actor . Rather than portraying roles as himself in different situations ( Tom Cruise , Will Smith , Russell Crowe ) , he molds himself into the role and BECOMES the character he portrays . To illustrate this poin... |
558,621 | 2,626,332 | 387,469 | 10 | A true documentary work of art | Before this documentary , I truly detested this installment . I couldn't stand it , and refused to accept it under any circumstances . However , this Making of documentary truly gives you all the answers to everything from the big problems to your most trivial questions in such a way as to help you understand why each ... |
558,697 | 2,626,332 | 865,556 | 10 | Wow ! What A Story ! | The potential of this work holds so much for a fan of martial arts and the practitioners of such arts , that there is little room for the director and the screenwriters to go where they will . Many fans have put much stock and faith in this work , and have anticipated its coming with such great relish , as to leave the... |
559,015 | 2,626,332 | 60,028 | 10 | The Show That Changed The World | I love the original Star Trek . I'm a fan of the whole Star Trek Universe , but there isn't anything like the original series . Gene Roddenberry was a man with a vision . In spite of what were cheap sets , uncomfortable uniforms , ridiculously low budgets , and backdrops which were used and reused so often that the aud... |
558,703 | 2,626,332 | 408,236 | 10 | Tragically Beautiful . . . Visceral . | Tim Burton's " Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street " encourages its viewers to lick their lips at the prospect of this work as the ideal treat , and perhaps we should . In the remaking of this story , going half way will bring nothing to the work ; nothing to the world , and Burton seems to realize this , as ... |
559,599 | 2,626,332 | 253,754 | 10 | Sinister concluding Generations chapter | SO much better than I expected . This is a much darker , sinister . . . enterprise , than the other installments . When I discovered this movie was written by John Logan , that he got the job only because he was a friend of Brent Spiner's , and that he also wrote " Bats , " and " The Time Machine , " I really did not e... |
558,801 | 2,626,332 | 71,230 | 10 | Withstands the tests of time . | I recently purchased Blazing Saddles on DVD , to replace my well used and abused VHS copy . I was amazed at how funny this movie still IS . Although I've never found humor in flatulence , that scene is a classic ; the bad guys all sitting around the campfire , eating beans and ripping loud ones while Taggart ( Slim Pic... |
559,136 | 2,626,332 | 289,765 | 10 | Darkling thriller entertains . | Factual , informative prequel to one of the best psychological thrillers ever made . This prequel sets you up for the original installment of what I like to think of as the " Lecter Chronicles . " These movies are all so intelligent , suspenseful and creative . I thoroughly enjoy the psychological aspects of all three ... |
558,872 | 2,626,332 | 96,446 | 10 | Delightful addition to any fantasy collection ! ! | I literally waited three years to see this movie . I couldn't afford the theater at the time , and I do not have cable ( I refuse to pay to watch TV ) , so I had to wait for it to come out on video . It was well worth the wait . I own it on DVD now , and I must say the DVD version is outstanding ! ( but I'm still spun ... |
559,458 | 2,626,332 | 800,289 | 10 | A Man With A Vision | I know that I'll be in the minority with this review , as I so often am , but I care not . Glenn Beck is a passionate , thinking , feeling individual with an articulate mind , who relays his thoughts and feelings succinctly to his ( rather huge ) audience , both on Radio and on CNN Headline News . This gentleman presen... |
559,040 | 2,626,332 | 397,501 | 10 | Beautiful . | The problem with the 1985 version of this movie is simple ; Indiana Jones was so closely modeled after Alan Quartermain ( or at least is an Alan Quartermain TYPE of character ) , that the ' 85 director made the mistake of plundering the IJ movies for dialog and story far too deeply . What you got as a finished product ... |
559,069 | 2,626,332 | 802,148 | 10 | Excellent ! | Since the days of Tenspeed and Brownshoe , I've looked forward to another hit Goldblum TV Series . I'm thoroughly enjoying this foray into the world of the paranormal via Goldblum , and I'll tell you why . Goldblum himself exhibits some quirky mannerisms , which lends something tangible and pro-active to the venue . So... |
558,586 | 2,626,332 | 36,855 | 10 | They just don't make movies like this anymore . | Angela Lansbury at 17 ! and Ingrid Bergman's first Academy Award . What more could you ask for ? Very little in the way of effects means that there is nothing here to entertain you but pure talented thespianism . These performances fully demonstrate what acting should be . I bill this timeless production right up there... |
559,565 | 2,626,332 | 118,929 | 10 | Wonderfully " dark " sci-fi / horror . | While this was based on Metropolis , this attempt is - much - more entertaining . This is also probably Jennifer Connely's best attempts to date ( this is being written after the Hulk and House of Sand and Fog , by the way ) , and William Hurt's most interesting role . This story is a beautiful , mysterious , darkling ... |
559,649 | 2,626,332 | 346,156 | 10 | Undeniably inspired | Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a visual feast and an excellent finished product which the nay-sayers cannot negate no matter how hard they try . The dialog was a demonstration of clever and witty reparté in pure tongue-in-cheek style and never once took itself too seriously as its darkling mysteries unfold . ... |
559,550 | 2,626,332 | 70,917 | 10 | Dated , atmospheric shocker still inspires | Gruesome and not all together accurate , depiction of the Old Pagan Ways , but beautiful in some ways , nonetheless . As a Pagan , I must say that I was not surprised to find that Pagans were depicted as the villains here . Such is the way of man , to fear what he does not understand , and to seek to destroy that which... |
558,706 | 2,626,332 | 77,413 | 10 | One of the best ! | Peter Ustinov portrays Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot , traveling on board a steamer ship down the Nile on an interrupted vacation via the murder of a socialite who has offended the entire world it seems , and has been deemed a " leach on the edges of society , " to quote one of the characters in the movie . Assisted... |
558,705 | 2,626,332 | 275,847 | 10 | Lovable | This is a masterpiece of graphics , textures and plots . Very very nice . I've grown up with Disney , as have most of us . And I've seen many of the Masterpiece collection , first hand on the big screen . I am also a fan of Disney's non-Christian views and presentations of the world . They make you use that imagination... |
559,585 | 2,626,332 | 387,616 | 10 | Superior film documentary | Every bit as informative and comprehensive as " The Beast Within : The Making of Alien . " As does the first , this continuation of the Making Of history of the Alien Quadrilogy takes you from conception to post production and marketing . This work is extremely well put together , completely inclusive , and very entert... |
559,200 | 2,626,332 | 82,348 | 10 | Simply Magickal | I saw this movie in the theater 127 times . Paid for it 127 times . It was a very moving piece of cinema . Well told , beautifully portrayed and brilliantly captured . While it is beginning to show signs of wear about the edges , this movie is the epitome of the King Aurhur legend . It has every element , every charact... |
367,705 | 2,707,735 | 126,215 | 1 | Perhaps you're right , this waiting makes me goose pimply all over . " | Don't be misled by Scotland Yard in the title of this movie , the only mystery here is how this film could ever be made . It starts out reasonably well , with the surreptitious passing of a coin from one shady character to another with instructions about a secret meeting . Apparently , a gang led by The Scorpion is aft... |
368,415 | 2,707,735 | 75,881 | 1 | Prepare yourself for a big surprise . | My summary line above is an actual quote from the movie . The surprise of course is whether you ever make it through the entire flick . Let's see - 1977 , " Star Wars " , and 1977 , " Cosmos : War of the Planets " . One is a landmark movie that took sci-fi film making into the twenty first century , the other set back ... |
367,688 | 2,707,735 | 54,673 | 1 | Man choked to death , a woman's purse , and footprints on the wasteland . | Make no mistake , I've seen hundreds of movies , and this is far and away the worst I've ever forced myself to sit through , and at fifty four minutes , the best part of the film was minute # 54 where the screen lit up with " THE END " . Afficionados of terrible films can at least speak with some degree of favor for st... |
368,495 | 2,707,735 | 98,350 | 1 | You've misled them about us , so how can we know you're not misleading us about them ? | The quote above just about says it all for " Slipstream " . I should have bailed out of this film after the first half hour , but decided I ought to be fair and give it a chance . I won't watch it again , so if anyone with the temerity to do so can get back to me with the number of clichéd lines in the movie , I'm sure... |
368,304 | 2,707,735 | 53,944 | 1 | Well what are we waiting for , let's check out of here . | The summary above is an actual quote from a character in the movie , and if I had to guess , it had to do with the film , and not to any precarious situation the four underwater explorers found themselves in . The best this flick has to offer is the science lesson on deep sea life offered at the beginning , preceded br... |
367,609 | 2,707,735 | 23,469 | 1 | An amateur investigator like myself can't have too many facts of a case to work on . | I always go into a Sherlock Holmes film expecting the best , but fearing the worst . With " The Sign of Four " , my fears for the worst were unfortunately realized . Poor production values and a largely unintelligible sound quality contributed to my difficulty in following the story . But where I really lost it was whe... |
368,307 | 2,707,735 | 59,887 | 1 | I'm only advancing a little hypothetical science fiction . | I am devastated . I didn't think there could be a film worse than " Beast of Yucca Flats " , and I watched that one twice . Connoisseurs of bad movies will be tested to the hilt by " Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet " ; immediately after viewing it you will ask yourself why . I had all I could do to stop rocking back a... |
368,540 | 2,707,735 | 52,188 | 1 | Shark gods angry long time now . . . | There are bad movies and there are worse movies . Then if given the choice between watching THIS movie for sixty three minutes or watching grass grow , just wait for a nice day to sit outside .
