571,824 | 4,248,714 | 69,847 | 4 | Carry On Abroad | I have always liked the Carry On films , with their double-meaning sexual innuendo dialogue and moments of slapstick comedy , but I can see why the critics give this one two stars . Basically , many British people are gathering on a coach to go on a Spanish holiday to an island called Elsbels to the Palace Hotel . What... |
572,836 | 4,248,714 | 303,356 | 4 | Biggie and Tupac | I may have heard of the two star rappers focused in this film , but I can't be sure . Anyway , this documentary by Nick Broomfield focuses on ( for a while ) friend rappers Tupac Shakur , murdered in 1997 , and Biggie Smalls ( Christopher Wallace , the Notorious B . I . G . ) , murdered in 1996 . Both murders could hav... |
572,350 | 4,248,714 | 90,305 | 4 | Weird Science | From writer / director John Hughes ( The Breakfast Club , Ferris Bueller's Day Off ) I had a vague idea of what this film consisted of , and I was pretty close . Basically two nerdy teenage boys , Gary Wallace ( The Breakfast Club's Anthony Michael Hall ) and Wyatt Donnelly ( Ilan Mitchell-Smith ) are desperate to be l... |
572,755 | 4,248,714 | 452,598 | 4 | Cheaper by the Dozen 2 | The first film was a near good return for the lead actor , and this sequel from director Adam Shankman ( The Wedding Planner , A Walk to Remember , Bringing Down the House ) is no different to it's predecessor . Basically Tom Baker ( Steve Martin ) and wife Kate ( Jumanji's Bonnie Hunt ) feel they are losing some of th... |
572,721 | 4,248,714 | 90,264 | 4 | A View to a Kill | This was the last film that we saw Sir Roger Moore play the great James Bond before Timothy Dalton stepped in . He had played him seven times and is still the longest running Bond so far , Sir Sean Connery's Never Say Never Again doesn't count . Anyway , Bond this time is up against American big shot Max Zorin ( Christ... |
572,134 | 4,248,714 | 16,600 | 4 | Along Came Auntie | One of the few films I have seen featuring only one member of the most famous comedy duo in history , and it does make for odd viewing . Basically Mrs . Remington Chow ( Vivien Oakland ) is married to Chow ( Glenn Tryon ) , but because of financial difficulties has had to take in her first husband who she divorced , Vi... |
572,782 | 4,248,714 | 187,393 | 4 | The Patriot | Director Roland Emmerich ( Independence Day , The Day After Tomorrow ) has created an interesting story based on real history , and Mel Gibson has created another good history character nearly like William Wallace , but this isn't exactly the best example of a war film . I think it focuses more on Benjamin Martin's ( G... |
571,500 | 4,248,714 | 492,486 | 4 | Shrooms | I had seen the poster for this film , but I didn't really think about critics opinions or anything before I watched it , maybe I should of . Basically some American teenagers arrive in the Ireland , and are promised by Irish friend Jake ( Jack Huston ) , and expert in mushrooms , the " trip " of a lifetime , knowing th... |
571,052 | 4,248,714 | 109,836 | 4 | Mary Shelley's Frankenstein | This new version of the classic Mary Shelley monster story is quite an interesting film from actor / director Kenneth Branagh . Victor Frankenstein ( Branagh ) is in the middle of a snowy place , he is on a ship telling some people on a ship his story . Frankenstein is a scientist interested in creating new life . With... |
571,738 | 4,248,714 | 166,175 | 4 | East Is East | This Film Four made film is pretty good drama , I just wasn't that interested in all of it . BAFTA nominated Om Puri plays grumpy and strict George Khan , he wants his family to be really perfect and his kids are starting to dislike his strict behaviour . I can't really remember why it is called East is East , probably... |
572,845 | 4,248,714 | 265,298 | 4 | Big Fat Liar | I suppose I can see why critics give this film two out five stars , it isn't fantastic , but I think it is worth a look , from director Shawn Levy ( Cheaper by the Dozen , Night at the Museum ) . Basically 14-year-old Jason Shepherd ( Malcolm in the Middle's Frankie Muniz ) is often lying to his parents and teachers , ... |
573,038 | 4,248,714 | 324,216 | 4 | The Texas Chainsaw Massacre | I can't remember all of the original , apart from thinking it was quite poor ( I need to see it again to confirm that ) , but I do know they've completely reworked the story . They have the same format of five teenagers : Jessica Biel as Erin , Jonathan Tucker as Morgan , Erica Leerhsen as Pepper , Mike Vogel as Andy a... |
571,375 | 4,248,714 | 157,583 | 4 | Enigma | I was quite interested in the theme of this film , involving one of the biggest parts of World War II , and the actors in it , and the result wasn't too bad . Basically during this war many Nazi U-boats used Enigma Codes to send secret messages , possibly their plans and stuff , and Britain's code-breaking centre didn'... |
571,822 | 4,248,714 | 350,754 | 4 | Dad's Dead | Part of the special features on Danny Boyle's Sunshine , this shot film was pretty weird . Narrated by Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone's Ian Hart , it is a very surreal short story mixing live action with some amusing cartoons . The narrator looks back fondly at his Liverpool childhood and the antics of best f... |
572,993 | 4,248,714 | 109,813 | 4 | The Flintstones | This is the live action film of the popular Hanna Barbera cartoon about the stone age family . There is not that much good comedy , it is more emotion and family based , but it is quite good for some reasons . John Goodman plays Fred Flintstone , husband and father of the famous stone age family . He is exactly as igno... |
573,117 | 4,248,714 | 293,508 | 4 | The Phantom of the Opera | Based on the stage show by Lord Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber ( creator of Cats , Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph ) and directed by Joel Schumacher ( Falling Down ) , I was hoping this to be a little better , but it wasn't completely rubbish . Basically at the French Opera Populaire house the manager has left and been repl... |
571,381 | 4,248,714 | 293,564 | 4 | Rush Hour 3 | The first one is best , the second is almost as good , but this one has nowhere near the same wit and charm . The story sees Ambassador Han ( Tzi Ma ) shot in an attempted assassination , and Inspector Lee ( Jackie Chan ) and Detective James Carter ( Chris Tucker ) are assigned to find out who did this , and promise th... |
570,925 | 4,248,714 | 183,505 | 4 | Me , Myself and Irene | An interesting idea for a comedy , a man's constant struggle to struggle with schizophrenia . Basically Officer Charlie Baileygates ( Jim Carrey ) has lived a long while with the loss of his wife sleeping with a midget and lots of other stuff . He has held in a lot of emotions over the years , and now he has had too mu... |
572,363 | 4,248,714 | 343,135 | 4 | Along Came Polly | From director John Hamburg ( writer of Zoolander and Meet the Parents ) , I had seen the trailer for it , and I knew how many stars the critics gave it , so I just said " what the hell " . Basically risk analyst Reuben Feffer ( Razzie nominated Ben Stiller ) marries who he thinks is his true love , Lisa Kramer ( Debra ... |
570,986 | 4,248,714 | 280,969 | 4 | My Little Eye | I saw this film only once and thought it was rubbish , but when I saw it again , and I could see one or two good things , from director Marc Evans ( Snow Cake ) . Basically five people apply to live in an isolated house together for six months whilst filmed by cameras for the internet , each with their own reasons for ... |
571,021 | 4,248,714 | 109,635 | 4 | Disclosure | I had my predictions of this film , but I am glad I gave it a chance , based on the book from Jurassic Park writer Michael Crichton ( Also producing ) and directed by Barry Levinson ( Rain Man ) . Basically Tom Sanders ( Michael Douglas ) is the computer company executive happily married with two children who loses out... |
573,048 | 4,248,714 | 381,707 | 4 | White Chicks | From Razzie nominated Keenen Ivory Wayans ( Scary Movie 1 & 2 ) , and with his writing / producer / star brothers ( also part of Scary Movie 1 & 2 ) , comes this cross-dressing , inter-racial and almost risky comedy . Basically disgraced African-American FBI agent brothers Kevin and Marcus Copeland ( played by real bro... |
571,145 | 4,248,714 | 117,496 | 4 | Robinson Crusoe | I am quite fond of desert island films and programmes , two I most enjoy are Tom Hanks in Cast Away , and of course , the brilliant Lost series , and I heard so much about this story that I decided to give this one a go . It is the 18th Century , and the film begins with a guy giving Daniel Defoe ( Ian Hart ) , the wri... |
572,398 | 4,248,714 | 120,873 | 4 | U . S . Marshals | I will be completely honest , I didn't see the entire film , so I was judging it purely by critics two out of five stars , which now seeing it , I still agree with , but it is worth a go . Basically Tommy Lee Jones reprises his Oscar winning role ( from The Fugitive ) of Chief Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard , who is this... |
573,043 | 4,248,714 | 55,831 | 4 | Carry On Cruising | I have to be completely honest in saying first that I fell asleep somewhere in the middle , so I cannot give a full opinion about the film until I see it in full . Basically The SS Happy Wanderer is ready to set sail , but Captain Wellington Crowther ( Sid James ) has only just found out that loads of staff members hav... |
573,162 | 4,248,714 | 256,380 | 5 | Shallow Hal | From the Farrelly brothers ( Dumb and Dumber , There's Something About Mary ) comes another pretty good comedy romance about the real meaning of beauty , inside and out , and the meaning of what it's like to fall for one of them . Basically Hal Larson ( Jack Black ) is a guy who has a very shallow view of women , he al... |
572,769 | 4,248,714 | 436,058 | 5 | American Pie Presents Band Camp | For a straight to video / DVD sequel to American Pie : The Wedding this is an okay attempt to continue the story of one of the characters , or at least their brother . When Steve Stifler's younger brother Matt Stifler ( Tad Hilgenbrinck ) keeps misbehaving at the school , he has to be punished by Chuck ' Sherminator ' ... |
571,194 | 4,248,714 | 233,469 | 5 | Collateral Damage | This was apparently not allowed on TV for a while after September 11th because there was a loss of interest , or rather near hate for destructive films , although The Day After Tomorrow was very popular . Anyway , basically Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Gordy Brewer , a firefighter who recently lost his wife Anne and son... |
572,475 | 4,248,714 | 78,158 | 5 | Return from Witch Mountain | If you remember seeing the original Walt Disney Pictures film about two twin kids called Tony ( Ike Eisenmann ) and Tia ( Kim Richards ) who are witches " escaping " to Witch Mountain , then you'll probably like this sequel . The two twins have come back from Witch Mountain for a short vacation . Tony unfortunately get... |
571,520 | 4,248,714 | 299,079 | 5 | Pandora Peaks | I bought this on DVD because I was expecting to have good moments with a large breasted woman , and it does ! This documentary directed by the late great Russ Meyer basically shows how he thinks , especially about the actress with the boobs of his dreams , Pandora Peaks . I have only ever watched this the once to see w... |
573,219 | 4,248,714 | 61,199 | 5 | Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree | This was the very first adventure based on the famous children's books from Walt Disney animations , when I was younger this used to be very good . Winnie the Pooh , the bear with little brain , lives in the Hundred Acre Wood with many friends including , Rabbit , Eeyore , Kanga and Roo , Owl and Christopher Robin . No... |
571,409 | 4,248,714 | 118,594 | 5 | Allyson Is Watching | A very silly film but worth seeing for all it's nudity . Jennifer ( Leigh ) Hammon plays Allyson Roper who has moved into a new apartment next door to Bridget ( Caroline Ambrose ) . Allyson is hoping to become a film actress for a company . She is also fascinated when she is peeking through her neighbours door keyhole ... |
573,039 | 4,248,714 | 91,306 | 5 | Jumpin ' Jack Flash | In only her second role , Whoopi Golberg is quite good , even if the film isn't too compelling . Nevertheless , it is a good idea to stick with it . Basically Goldberg is Terry Dolittle who works in a bank , and one day she receives a message from someone called Jumpin ' Jack Flash , and as she gets to know him she dis... |
571,894 | 4,248,714 | 105,156 | 5 | Poison Ivy | I looked at the mention of the content , sexual references , and I think Drew Barrymore is quite attractive , but not like this . I mainly see soft core porn films just for the nudity and sex , this isn't exactly a completely " erotic " thriller . Barrymore plays Ivy , a very toxic teenager who has sex with nearly anyo... |
571,130 | 4,248,714 | 248,667 | 5 | Ali | From director Michael Mann ( The Last of the Mohicans , Collateral ) , I hoped this would be a good biographical drama with a great star playing one of the world's best known boxers . The film tells the story of Muhammad Ali ( Oscar and Golden Globe nominated Will Smith ) , aka Cassius Clay / Cassius X , who in 1964 wo... |
571,505 | 4,248,714 | 95,687 | 5 | My Stepmother Is an Alien | I mainly heard of this film because of the leading star , and the fact that this was the first film to feature body double Shelley Michelle , any nudity was cut for pre-watershed TV , but never mind . Anyway , basically slob widower Dr . Steven Mills ( Dan Aykroyd ) accidentally sends a great surge of energy into outer... |
572,831 | 4,248,714 | 466,909 | 5 | The Omen | First thing I should mention about watching this is that I saw on a plane travelling 11 hours to America for what was a brilliant college trip . Second , I knew that this film was never going to beat the original 1976 version , and I was right . When this was released it was not just the 30th Anniversary of the origina... |
572,511 | 4,248,714 | 252,503 | 5 | Heist | There was a good cast of actors , and the critics give it four stars , but to be honest I don't think it was THAT good , from director David Mamet ( writer of The Untouchables script ) . The film opening is quite good with a clever robbery involving leader Joe Moore ( Gene Hackman ) , along with co-criminals Bobby ' Bo... |
571,557 | 4,248,714 | 73,768 | 5 | Supervixens | This isn't one of those thriller type films filled with mainly sex and nudity scenes , it is a pretty amusing comedy filled with it . It kind of a mix of Carry On and Confessions comedy , but with more sex and nudity and directed by the quite obsessed ( with big breasts ) director Russ Meyer . I don't know or care if t... |
571,878 | 4,248,714 | 91,369 | 5 | Labyrinth | Directed by the creator of the Muppets , Jim Henson , and with his great puppetry , this is a good fairy tale type story filled with many cute , cuddly and some ugly creatures and some good plot . Basically Sarah ( A Beautiful Mind's , here 15 years old , Jennifer Connelly ) has to look after her little baby brother To... |
572,894 | 4,248,714 | 38,969 | 5 | Song of the South | When I was a kid this used to be one of my favourite animated musical films from Walt Disney Pictures . A little boy named Johnny has his Dad go away for a while and he obviously didn't want him to go . Johnny runs away and meets up with a new friend , Uncle Reemus ( Honorary Oscar winning James Baskett ) . He tells Jo... |
573,029 | 4,248,714 | 337,921 | 5 | Cellular | From director David R . Ellis ( Final Destination 2 ) , this may not be the most tense film I've ever seen , but it's got just enough good stuff . Basically science teacher Jessica Martin ( Kim Basinger ) is kidnapped by Ethan Greer ( Jason Statham ) and his thugs , and she has been locked in a room , and Ethan made su... |
573,053 | 4,248,714 | 136,640 | 5 | The Forgotten Toys | If you've seen the mini Christmas movie then you would know what this is , it's basically a TV series about the teddy bear and doll still on the lookout for new kids to be owners . Joanna Lumley is still the okay Annie ( or " Pigtails " to Teddy ) the doll with her ragged skirt , and Bob Hoskins is still the lovable an... |
572,596 | 4,248,714 | 112,760 | 5 | Cutthroat Island | This was one of the many failures at the cinema , and critics weren't that impressed , but screw them . This isn't actually that bad , it's a really good pirate movie with a treasure hunt and a good main star . Beetle Juice and Thelma & Louise star Geena Davis stars as Morgan Adams , the female pirate determined to fin... |
573,075 | 4,248,714 | 342,317 | 5 | Eddie Izzard : Circle | This was only the second I had seen a stand-up show by Eddie Izzard , and in his transvestite guise . Playing in Town Hall , New York City , he gives his usual abstract and amusing material , including his opinions and theories about Pope John Paul II , the Spanish Inquisition , Jerusalem and Jesus , and the future . A... |
571,621 | 4,248,714 | 118,755 | 5 | The Borrowers | I like many adventure films , and also the idea of big and small being good and bad , depending on which you are . You've seen how some great filmmakers created a giant world in Honey , I Shrunk the Kids , well this is exactly the same good creation . Basically the Lenders , mother Victoria ( Doon Mackichan ) and fathe... |
571,960 | 4,248,714 | 132,347 | 5 | Mystery Men | I think what attracted me to this film more than anything else was the cast list , so obviously I wasn't concerned whether I'd like the film itself or not . Basically a group of wannabe superheroes : Mr . Furious ( Ben Stiller ) who can apparently get aggressive strength , The Shoveller ( William H . Macy ) who wields ... |
571,622 | 4,248,714 | 118,749 | 5 | Boogie Nights | This is more of an adult film , but the story is okay in places . But really , the only main reason I wanted to see it is for Heather Graham getting naked , it wasn't exactly what I had in mind for picture quality . Basically porn director Jack Horner ( Golden Globe winning , and Oscar and BAFTA nominated Burt Reynolds... |
571,636 | 4,248,714 | 205,972 | 5 | Gogwana | This is not a bad attempt to give the Gogs their own short movie , it just could have been better . Not from Nick Park and the makers of Wallace and Gromit ( Aardman Animations ) , this is quite a funny short film about the Gogs travelling to a new place . In the story Grampa recalls his wife who was kidnapped and left... |
571,343 | 4,248,714 | 286,106 | 5 | Signs | When I saw it in the cinema , I thought it was one of the creepiest films ever , and made me jump quite a lot , that's without the flashbacks of course . From director M . Night Shyamalan ( The Sixth Sense , also appearing in the film as Ray Peddy ) the story revolves around ex-Reverand Graham Hess ( Mel Gibson ) with ... |
572,767 | 4,248,714 | 91,209 | 5 | The Hitcher | This is a road movie , a thriller , and sometimes scary as well . If you have ever stopped and given someone ( a hitcher / hitchhiker ) a ride , you might think twice about it after this film . Basically Jim Halsey ( C . Thomas Howell ) is driving minding his own business , when he stops to pick up a hitcher . This hit... |
572,893 | 4,248,714 | 186,566 | 5 | Space Cowboys | This is quite an alright film by actor and director Clint Eastwood . Basically in the beginning it shows Dr . Frank Corvin's ( Eastwood ) past with his of plane pilots . He has been given a mission to go to space to fix a satellite , and he says he won't go unless he can invite his Cowboy pals to help . He reunites wit... |
572,514 | 4,248,714 | 167,190 | 5 | Hellboy | From director Guillermo del Toro ( Pan's Labyrinth ) , this is another not too bad comic book based hero brought to the screen . The film begins in 1944 , during World War II , and the Nazi Germans are researching the occult , and the villain Grigori Rasputin ( Karel Roden ) has spent 5 years building an huge portal ma... |
571,214 | 4,248,714 | 122,718 | 5 | Small Soldiers | This is quite an interesting idea , toys that can play back , or rather go completely wrong , not be stopped and create chaos , from director Joe Dante ( Gremlins ) . Basically Irwin Wayfair ( Scary Movie 2's David Cross ) and Larry Benson ( Cherry Falls ' Jay Mohr ) pitch ideas to Hartland / Globotech boss Gil Mars ( ... |
571,935 | 4,248,714 | 83,944 | 5 | Rambo : First Blood | With the release of the fourth film in 2008 , simply titled " Rambo " ( " John Rambo " in America ) it was right they should show all three of the original films , and this is the first . Basically John J . Rambo ( Sylvester Stallone , also writing ) is a mentally unstable Vietnam war veteran , who has come to a quiet ... |
572,367 | 4,248,714 | 21,755 | 5 | Come Clean | Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the most famous comedy duo in history , and deservedly so , so I am happy to see any of their films . Ollie and Mrs . Hardy ( Gertrude Astor ) are hoping for a quiet night alone , but Stan and Mrs . Laurel ( Linda Loredo ) come along spoiling this . To make the best of the evening , Oll... |
571,250 | 4,248,714 | 355,702 | 5 | Lords of Dogtown | I recognised the title of the film , but I had no idea what the story was about , or that it is based on true events . Basically it is all about a group of brilliant young skateboarders , known as the Z-Boys , raised in the mean streets of Dogtown in Santa Monica , California . They are perfecting their techniques in e... |
572,046 | 4,248,714 | 66,319 | 5 | Ryan's Daughter | I was unsure if I could survive all three hours of the film , but the good cast list and BAFTA nominated director Sir David Lean ( The Bridge on the River Kwai , Lawrence of Arabia ) , directing his penultimate film , kept me going . To be honest , I was hoping for a film with much more plot , or at least more interest... |
571,095 | 4,248,714 | 338,348 | 5 | The Polar Express | I saw snippets of Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within , and of course , Beowulf , and thought the computer animation looked brilliantly realistic , and then I got the chance to see this one that I had heard about . This film from director Robert Zemeckis ( Back to the Future , Forrest Gump , Beowulf ) sees the introduct... |
571,435 | 4,248,714 | 209,958 | 5 | The Cell | When I heard about this I thought it might be quite good , how wrong I was . It isn't rubbish , I just don't know if I want to see it again . The main reason I wanted to see it was because it mentioned sexual references . Also , it had the wonderfully shaped Jennifer Lopez in it . But of course , it didn't have any sex... |
571,974 | 4,248,714 | 466,664 | 5 | Alien Autopsy | Based on a true story of one of the world's biggest hoax , this is a good film with a great duo in their first feature film ( unless you count their brief appearance in Love Actually ) . Declan Donnelly as Ray Santilli , and Anthony McPartlin as friend / partner Gary Shoefield are great . It is all about these two frie... |
571,687 | 4,248,714 | 70,239 | 5 | Jesus Christ Superstar | This was another film where I tried not pay attention to the critics , but I can see reasons why it was two out of five stars . This film is based on the popular stage musical by Lord Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice , so every moment of this film was a song and some dance , probably only two or three seconds was d... |
572,368 | 4,248,714 | 303,714 | 5 | Barbershop | I don't get to see a nearly all black actor filled film , and this one wasn't too bad , from director Tim Story ( Fantastic Four ) . Basically it is a day in the life of a barbershop on the south side of Chicago . Calvin Palmer ( Ice Cube ) inherited the struggling business from his deceased father , and with an ambiti... |
573,268 | 4,248,714 | 113,071 | 5 | First Knight | From director Jerry Zucker ( Ghost , Rat Race ) this retelling of the Arthurian myths is quite good . Basically Lancelot ( Richard Gere , not bothering to try an English accent , just Kevin Costner in Robin Hood ) is a skilled swordsman who is not seeking a knighthood or reward , just peace . Lady Guinevere ( Julia Orm... |
571,705 | 4,248,714 | 65,377 | 5 | Airport | From director George Seaton ( the original Miracle on 34th Street ) , you can't really watch this film without thinking about Airplane ! which spoofed moments of it very well . Basically it all takes place in an airport ( duh ! ) , and it sees many characters getting on with whatever they do in airports . These include... |
571,763 | 4,248,714 | 21,646 | 5 | Beau Hunks | Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the most famous comedy duo in history , and deservedly so , so I am happy to see any of their films . Basically Ollie tells Stan he is to be married , only to find out in a letter that her girl , Jean , or " Jeanie-Weenie " loves another , so they decide to join the Foreign Legion to tr... |
573,155 | 4,248,714 | 405,422 | 5 | The 40 Year Old Virgin | For a romantic comedy , this is actually a pretty good story , and I can relate to the main character , being a virgin I mean . Bruce Almighty's Steve Carell plays Andy Stitzer , a 40 year old computer shop worker who is a virgin . His friends David ( Friends ' Paul Rudd ) , Jay ( Romany Malco ) and Cal ( Seth Rogen ) ... |
573,022 | 4,248,714 | 396,752 | 5 | Nanny McPhee | Obviously this is one for the kids , I guess I was mainly interested in the cast more than much else . Basically the Brown children are very naughty , they have managed to get rid of 17 nannies , and the agency is closed to their dad Mr . Cedric Brown ( Colin Firth ) . Then comes along comically ugly governess Nanny Mc... |
572,326 | 4,248,714 | 65,421 | 5 | The Aristocats | I can remember seeing it only once when I was a kid , it was pretty good . It was the animated Walt Disney Pictures film with cats as the stars . Duchess is a white cat living with a rich woman with her three kittens . One day they are kidnapped by the greedy butler ( for their fortune ) . The butler fails to get to hi... |
572,739 | 4,248,714 | 268,397 | 5 | Jimmy Neutron : Boy Genius | Not long after this film was finished they made a TV series of it , but this is what started it being known . If you think about it the cartoon is kind of copying the idea of Dexter's Laboratory , except the parents actually know he invents . Basically Jimmy Neutron is a boy genius who invents many cool and useful inve... |
571,355 | 4,248,714 | 268,380 | 5 | Ice Age | There is similarity to the Shrek , i . e . going somewhere and rescuing , but it is a completely different situation . Basically this film gives us an adventure based in the time of The Ice Age . The only animal who is not going South is Manfred the Mammoth ( Ray Romano ) who lost his family from poachers .

571,307 | 4,248,714 | 206,275 | 5 | Save the Last Dance | I had no real information about the film's story , i . e . I didn't realise it was about ballet before hip hop dancing , but it was when I saw the scene spoofed in Scary Movie 2 that I really got into it more . Basically Sara Johnson ( The Bourne Trilogy and 10 Things I Hate About You's Julia Stiles ) was once an aspir... |
572,265 | 4,248,714 | 451,180 | 5 | I'm Going to Tell You a Secret | Her songs are really good , examples include Ray of Light , Frozen , Music and Hung Up , but seeing Madonna in a documentary is a little weird . She is a bit of a cow away from the stage and mike , she's stubborn , she swears , and she's a yank . However , she does believe in God and prayed before every show with her d... |
573,269 | 4,248,714 | 400,497 | 5 | Herbie : Fully Loaded | I don't know why I decided to watch this film , reprising a Disney franchise , but I suppose it is quite a good family film . Basically Herbie , the Voltswagon with a mind of it's own was once a champion racer , but slowly went down hill , but manages to escape being turned into scrap and go to a used car lot . Maggie ... |
571,993 | 4,248,714 | 365,485 | 5 | The Matador | I mainly knew of this film because the ex-James Bond actor played a bad guy , i . e . hit-man , with a moustache , I didn't really find out the premise or anything , I just tried it and hoped I'd like it . Basically constantly drinking , smoking and woman-chasing private-hire hit-man Julian Noble ( Golden Globe nominat... |
571,122 | 4,248,714 | 56,704 | 5 | The Wrong Arm of the Law | I will admit that I didn't pay full attention , and I did doze off somewhere in the middle , but I suppose it's worth a go . Basically cockney Pearly Gates ( Peter Sellers ) is the leader of a gang of crooks , with no-one carrying guns or resisting arrest . Then along comes another gang , led by Irish Nervous O'Toole (... |
571,005 | 4,248,714 | 303,816 | 5 | Cabin Fever | I can agree with the critics that it is similar to the same formula as past horror films , e . g . Night of the Living Dead with the last survivor being shot accidentally ( or on purpose ) , and The Evil Dead with the isolated cabin , but I think it is quite a good . It is a pretty gritty and gross horror film , especi... |
572,177 | 4,248,714 | 289,879 | 5 | The Butterfly Effect | When I saw the advert for this I thought it was going to be clever and gripping , I was only slightly right . Basically , Evan at 7 ( Logan Lerman ) suffers from memory blackouts , and moments later he finds himself forward in time in a new place and confused , and his Mom believes he is making up the blackouts to get ... |
573,240 | 4,248,714 | 369,441 | 5 | Fun with Dick and Jane | Unfortunately this is not as good as any of the other films that Jim Carrey ( producing and starring ) and Brian Grazer have worked on together , but bits of it are definitely worth a look for laughs . Jim Carrey is Dick Harper , he thinks he is being promoted to a better job . That's until the company of Dynocorpe sin... |
572,469 | 4,248,714 | 810,900 | 5 | High School Musical 2 | I had seen the previous TV made Disney film since I heard a lot about it , so I guess I had to see if the sequel measured up too , from director Kenny Ortega ( Hocus Pocus ) . Basically all the original characters are back and they are out of school for the summer , and Sharpay Evans ( Ashley Tisdale ) is still trying ... |
571,263 | 4,248,714 | 113,368 | 5 | I Like to Play Games | A pretty silly film , but worth watching the nudity . A new secretary has entered a company , and this guy finds her attractive . It's not long before they sleep together . But she doesn't want to " play it easy " . So she starts to do more interesting things . For example , she dresses in a cat-suit and pins him to th... |
570,975 | 4,248,714 | 126,745 | 5 | The Famous Five | When I was younger , this used to be on CITV ( Children's Intergallactic Television ) quite a bit . When it was on it was quite an interesting show of kids against adults . Basically four kids and one dog ( making five ) solve mysteries even though their parents tell them not to meddle in other people's business . That... |
573,257 | 4,248,714 | 56,937 | 5 | Cleopatra | I knew two of the lead stars of the film , and I knew it was an expensive film , I just didn't know how expensive , or how long is was , from Golden Globe nominated director Joseph L .

572,942 | 4,248,714 | 338,580 | 5 | Baby Looney Tunes | I saw this a couple of times on Cartoon Network , I wasn't too fascinated about it at first with the advert , but when I actually bothered to watch it Baby Looney Tunes is actually pretty good . Basically they've taken the same idea as Tiny Toon Adventures and Baby Muppets , and done it to the Looney Tunes . They are n... |
572,751 | 4,248,714 | 18,083 | 5 | From Soup to Nuts | Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the most famous comedy duo in history , and deservedly so , so I am happy to see any of their films . Basically newly rich Mrs . Culpepper ( A Chump at Oxford's Anita Garvin ) has planned a big dinner party , eager to make a good impression in high society , but her husband ( Tiny Sandf... |
572,580 | 4,248,714 | 986,214 | 5 | Animal Farm | It should be mentioned first that the farm in the programmes does not exist and is fake , but all animal and plants shown from the many laboratories and facilities are real . Basically in three episodes food critic Giles Coren ( he hosted Channel 5's Movie Lounge ) and scientist Olivia Judson take a journey of discover... |
572,206 | 4,248,714 | 69,995 | 5 | Don't Look Now | I don't exactly understand the title , but I could take it slightly seriously . This film is another film based on a Stephen King , but is sadly ( in my opinion ) not as disturbing as The Shining or Misery were . Basically Laura ( BAFTA nominated Julie Christie ) and John Baxter ( BAFTA nominated Donald Sutherland ) lo... |
572,362 | 4,248,714 | 18,106 | 5 | Love ' Em and Weep | Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the most famous comedy duo in history , and deservedly so , so I am happy to see any of their films . Four years later , this film was remade by Laurel and Hardy into the Chickens Come Home , so it pretty much exactly the same storyline and most of the same comedy moments , only differe... |
571,308 | 4,248,714 | 443,274 | 5 | Vantage Point | When I saw the trailer and the clips on Jonathan Ross , I thought this was a film I could definitely enjoy , but I did wonder why it was only given two out of five stars , now I know . Basically you see the same scene about four-five times , the shooting of President Ashton ( William Hurt ) - although you find out late... |
572,822 | 4,248,714 | 213,203 | 5 | Rugrats in Paris : The Movie | This is film sequel to the first film based on the second longest running cartoon on TV ( longest running is obviously The Simpsons ) .

572,553 | 4,248,714 | 289,840 | 5 | The Adventures of Mole | When I was a kid , I used to like this cartoon version of the famous Kenneth Grahame story about the river . This was just the first part of a three part bunch of stories . This is the order : The Adventures of Mole , Mole's Christmas and The Adventures of Mr . Toad . Anyway , you probably know the story . Mole's sprin... |
572,700 | 4,248,714 | 83,131 | 5 | Stripes | From director Ivan Reitman ( Ghostbusters , Twins , Evolution ) is this modest army comedy . Basically John Winger ( Bill Murray ) is a quick-witted cab driver , well mainly ambitious loser , and his friend Russell Ziskey ( alos co-writing , Harold Ramis ) is no different as a foreign people's English teacher . They se... |
572,147 | 4,248,714 | 295,700 | 5 | Wrong Turn | I have hardly seen any mutant films , unless you count X-Men , but what I mean is creatures that do not look very nice and are deformed . Basically Chris Flynn ( Desmond Harrington ) is lost somewhere on the road and on the way takes , " the wrong turn " and eventually crashes into a car . They are all lost and looking... |
572,587 | 4,248,714 | 140,379 | 5 | A Misummer Night's Dream | I had seen a cartoon version of this William Shalespeare tale , but I had always wanted to see a live action one , and this star filled version is almost perfect . It is the story of a group of four partners , Helena ( Ally McBeal's Calista Flockhart ) , Lysander ( Dominic West ) , Demetrius ( Christian Bale ) and Herm... |
572,042 | 4,248,714 | 70,016 | 5 | Charlotte's Web | I remember seeing this cartoon based on the book by E . B . White many times as a kid , and I can still remember most of the dialogue and the basic story . From Hanna-Barbera ( animators of cartoons like Tom and Jerry and The Flintstones ) , it may not have the same style of animation , it's pretty similar to that of A... |
572,463 | 4,248,714 | 936,501 | 5 | Taken | I knew this was a kidnap film , I was thinking it might be similar to Ransom , well , it is almost as violent , written by Luc Besson ( director of The Fifth Element ) . Basically Bryan Mills ( Liam Neeson ) is the retired secret agent who is really protective and concerned for his daughter Kim ( Maggie Grace ) , espec... |
573,154 | 4,248,714 | 486,117 | 5 | Half Ton Man | This was part of the Bodyshock programmes on Channel 4 , and it was just terrible seeing what someone could do to themselves . I did not really know that food could be so addictive , and that people like Patrick Deuel can't fill their stomachs too quickly . Basically the shock of this documentary was the size and weigh... |
572,955 | 4,248,714 | 338,512 | 5 | Two Brothers | I think the most obvious to reason to see this film is for the tigers , young and old , they are magnificent creatures , and here they are the main focus , from director Jean-Jacques Annaud ( The Name of the Rose , Enemy at the Gates ) . Basically two twin tigers , one shy and gentle , the other bold and fierce , are b... |
571,575 | 4,248,714 | 87,291 | 5 | Frankenweenie | This is another quite confusing but near entertaining film written and directed by genius Tim Burton , however it does show he has a dark side to him . This is a really interesting but highly silly idea for a film , this is basically a kid version of Frankenstein . Young Victor Frankenstein ( The NeverEnding Story's Ba... |
