526,114 | 4,445,210 | 69,704 | 1 | Bad Then , Even Worse Now | I know a lot of people loved this movie , right from the start when they first saw it in the early 1970s at the theaters . I hated it then , and I hated it 25 years later when I gave it another chance on VHS . It was even worse now because you added " dated " to this list of negative adjectives describing this movie . ... |
525,537 | 4,445,210 | 175,142 | 1 | Another Sad Example Of Today's Comedies | Here's yet one more example of a modern-day comedy that has its funny moments but unfortunately , to me , was more of a sleaze-fest that a parody or a straight comedy . This movie is spoofing horror films . That's cool , I like a good spoof , but why all the irreverence and sex jokes ? Why is that necessary ? Don't wri... |
522,695 | 4,445,210 | 1,206,157 | 1 | In A Word : Embarrassing | Wow , what can you say about an episode like this ? I could say a lot , but I think I'll keep it pretty short : this was an embarrassment to watch . Don't these writers and actors have any dignity ? This is the kind of perverted humor that is so over-baked that it isn't funny ; it's like " Blades of Glory " or " The Lo... |
524,357 | 4,445,210 | 71,607 | 1 | Herbie Goes To Hell | The best thing about this horrible movie is the opening scene which shows real-life footage of large buildings being demolished . The worst thing is the theology behind the story , as espoused by no less an actress than veteran Helen Hayes whose character claims that everything has a soul and a life to it - and that's ... |
527,273 | 4,445,210 | 114,069 | 1 | Over-hyped Insult To Anyone Of Intelligence | I remember this film getting a lot of hype before it came out . You could see advertisements promoting it all over television for a few weeks . Well , I got sucked in and was anxious to see it , myself . As usual , it didn't live up to the hype . It wasn't bad ; just not as good as I had hoped . One thing that turned m... |
526,026 | 4,445,210 | 114,148 | 1 | Anoher Reason For The Disney Boycott | You wonder why there was a big boycott of Walt Disney films and Disney World in the mid ' 90s and shortly thereafter . It wasn't just " Gay Days " at the theme park : it was Liberal revisionist " history " movies like this . Instead of the real story of Pocahontas , who became famous by being the first Native American ... |
526,729 | 4,445,210 | 71,216 | 1 | Big Bad Bigotry | The early 1970s has some of the most blatant anti-Christian messages ever put out by Hollywood filmmakers and this is Exhibit A . You can just feel the hatred of these atheists pouring out in this movie . There are not one but two separate instances of picturing phony and blasphemous preachers in here . That , plus a t... |
523,965 | 4,445,210 | 366,548 | 1 | Shameful Way To Preach Left-Wing Beliefs | Wow , was I shocked at the overwhelming Left Wing agenda in this film and particularly the anti-Christian bigotry . It's pretty sad when Liberal Hollywood has to stoop to brainwashing little kids ' movies to get their bias across . This is about as low as it gets . Hey , all I wanted a funny , cute animated film and I ... |
527,378 | 4,445,210 | 59,713 | 1 | Laugh Tracks Are An Insult To The Viewer | An annoying narrator and - worse - a laugh track begins this cartoon on a sour note . The narrator is chastising the Pink Panther for lying around , not doing anything . He suggests going to the basement , getting some tools and making something . There is some unfunny gag with the light switch and then the Panther saw... |
523,372 | 4,445,210 | 120,889 | 1 | About As Stupid & Insultng As It Gets | What a disappointment . As someone who loves unique visuals , great color , I was led to believe in previews that the super visual aspect of this movie would be major part of it - that this was going to be like nothing you ever seen ! Well , some parts were , but precious few . What dominated , instead , was one of the... |

' | This was the first time I've been very disappointed with one of Justine Shapiro's " tours " in these " Globe-Trekker " DVDs . This was a disgrace . Shapiro normally is a lot more mature than what she demonstrated here . She came with an " attitude " and showed unbelievable poor taste , as did the people who put this to... |
525,163 | 4,445,210 | 110,622 | 1 | The Cast Kind Of Tells You Something | I guess it says something when you realize this was Anna Nicole Smith's first picture and O . J . Simpson's last . The fact they are both in this picture kind of defines what this film stands for : not the highest class of comedy . Same on Leslie Nielsen to be part of this " comedy " which has a pastor yelling out Jesu... |
526,182 | 4,445,210 | 140,814 | 2 | No Excuses For This | This wasn't up to the quality of the Otto Messmer years of Felix The Cat , from the early 1920s , so inexperience in this animation genre was no excuse for making a lousy Felix The Cat cartoon like this one . This is a lame effort , even for 1930 . I wondered if this wasn't going to be a lemon right off the bat when th... |
523,572 | 4,445,210 | 95,665 | 2 | Yet Another Waste Of Celluloid | This was a New Age-type tale which turned me off quickly , thanks to some Bible-bashing right in the beginning of the film by Anthony Edwards and Robert Mitchum , both downgrading the value of reading " The Book . " From there , the lead character demonstrates his amazing ability to heal people because electricity runs... |
524,681 | 4,445,210 | 105,127 | 2 | Shoulda Just Read The Book | Wow , right from the start this movie is a real downer , not exactly an uplifting film ! This is really depressing . William Hurt , Robert Duvall , Raul Julia , Sandrine Bonnaire and Jean-Marc Barr star in a film dealing with a plague that is infecting a South American city . It sounds interesting , which is why I rent... |
526,865 | 4,445,210 | 105,017 | 2 | I Never Did Like John Ritter | This was supposed to be " a hilarious farce , " according to reviews of the day . It just shows you how unreliable are the movie critics you read in the newspaper . The only " farce " was that this film was lauded . The first dozen minutes along totally turned me off . In that period . John Ritter used the Lord's name ... |
527,326 | 4,445,210 | 112,697 | 2 | ' Clueless ' Is Correct | This was " cute " for a while and then became too teener-bopper oriented for me . I guess if you are a 13-16-year-old female , you'd relate and like this film . Sad to say , it's another film which gives poor messages to teens . Hey , kids . . . . want to have casual sex ? No problem . . . . go for it ! Nice . Leave it... |
522,676 | 4,445,210 | 112,688 | 2 | Little To Like From Spike | For the longest time , it has been - or was - politically-incorrect to criticize director Spike Lee , so he gets away with murder in a number of his overrated films . Lee , in his obnoxiousness because of this fawning , doesn't care or doesn't get it that most of America doesn't want to go to a film that has over 300 p... |
525,361 | 4,445,210 | 112,641 | 2 | Brutally Profane | Can you say the " f-word ? ? " They can here - 353 times , according to Entertainment Weekly . This movie , as few others , will assault your senses and make you numb by the time it's over . Constant bickering , yelling , and Sharon Stone's out-of-control character the last hour will have you uttering a few expletives ... |
523,700 | 4,445,210 | 34,946 | 2 | A Liberal's Dream Story | Considering the great cast and reputation , this was very disappointing . I guess the reputation comes from the national critics , all of whom are very liberal and this movie is Left Winger's dream . You see a weak preacher ( Hollywood's only kind ) , you hear some of the Liberals favorite words like like " repression ... |
524,959 | 4,445,210 | 26,497 | 2 | This'Short ' About Sleep Will Do Just That | Robert Benchley discusses the subject of sleep in four parts : 1 - the causes of sleep ; 2 - the methods of inducing sleep ; 3 - methods of avoiding sleep and , finally , 4 - how to wake up ( " which is the most important , " he notes . ) Early on this showed promise to a funny " short , " but it really wasn't .

Love him or hate him , you can't say that about his other films . This film just doesn't have much life to it . Y... |
526,564 | 4,445,210 | 96,142 | 2 | Can''t Live Up To Its Great Title | This is the classic case of a fabulous title to a film but a horrible movie . With a name like " Sorority Babes At The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama , " I just had to check this film out . If you think the film sounds cheesy , it is - in spades . It's a sleazy horror spoof that wasn't funny and only offered some nice boobs to ... |
526,453 | 4,445,210 | 43,495 | 2 | This Cartoon " Bites " | This is a cartoon warning about the evils of gambling , featuring The Gambling Bug , a creature I've never seen before in a Loony Tunes short . The bug - kind of flying ant - takes a day off and observes a big dog trying to talk a cat ( which looks like a Dr . Seuss drawing ) into gambling . The cat wants nothing to do... |
527,487 | 4,445,210 | 113,280 | 2 | Should Have Known From The Recommendation | The fact that " Cosmopolitan " magazine wrote this movie was " terrific " should have warned me to stay away but , like a sap , I gave it a look . What a waste of a trip to the rental store back in the late ' 90s . " Horrible " would have been a better one-word description of this profane-laden soap opera about a bunch... |
526,342 | 4,445,210 | 104,670 | 2 | Safe For Kids ? I Don't Think So ! ! ! ! | I assumed this was a safe movie for kids , one about a young girls soccer team . Well , it WAS about the soccer team but it also had numerous sex jokes and innuendos , along with a lot of profanity and just plain sleazy remarks . Whoever wrote this script must be a real sleazebag . I should have noticed the PG-13 label... |

Lescoulie gives the definition ... |
525,770 | 4,445,210 | 104,556 | 2 | Nothing But Noise - Big Disappointment | I thought maybe it was just old age creeping up on me . The Jimi Hendrix that I remember from my youth sounded a whole lot better than what I saw on this DVD . I thought I had just changed my tastes and wasn't into his songs anymore . Then I read some reviews here . . . . and I feel better . It wasn't me : it was this ... |
523,130 | 4,445,210 | 78,754 | 2 | He's Not Your ' Average Joe , ' Thankfully ! | Well , how about two hours of film footage about a chain-smoking , drug-taking , wife - cheating , hard-drinking , profane guy ? Sound like fun ? I don't think so . Roy Scheider plays " Joe Gideon , " who is really Ray Fosse , the famous dance choreographer . The story is based on Fosse's life . . . . and it isn't a pr... |
526,676 | 4,445,210 | 26,000 | 2 | A Failed Experiment | We begin with a meeting of the Women Haters Club , dedicated to the idea that " romance is a crime ! " What's unusual about this short movie is that all the dialog is done in rhyme . I thought it would be kind of stupid but , to be honest , a lot of it is very clever - for about five minutes . Whoever wrote this did a ... |
527,281 | 4,445,210 | 44,953 | 2 | Ryan's Laugh Was Stupid & Ruined The Film | Why one famous critic called this " possibly the greatest Western ever made " is mind - boggling . Not only is it NOT that , it's not even a good movie . In fact , it stinks ! The first 15 minutes leads you to believe this might be a great western , but by halfway through this yawner I had lost my interest . . . . both... |
523,324 | 4,445,210 | 71,455 | 2 | Yup , Another ' Disaster ' From Early ' 70s | A disaster is right - this film is a disaster , thanks to Ava Gardner , to begin with . The first word of dialog in this film , which shows you what kind of profane pig this woman was , is " GD ! " screamed out by her . She must have given hubby Frank Sintra an earful a few times . Three minutes later , Gardner blasphe... |
523,829 | 4,445,210 | 86,856 | 2 | Another Loser For Lithgow | What a disappointment ! With a title like that , I expected something really good , or at least fun to watch . It was neither . It was just another grimy flick with no values to it and no clarity or intelligence to the story . It was stupid and it was boring , which is about the worst thing a film can be . Come to thin... |
525,036 | 4,445,210 | 71,577 | 2 | Great Visuals & Sound , Affected Dialog & Characters | This movie is great to look at but tough to hear . The photography is magnificent , but the characters in this film are so shallow , pretentious , insufferably soap - opera sudsy , it makes the movie hard to watch . Nobody exhibits those unlikable and annoying qualities more than " Daisy , " played in over-the-top fash... |
525,822 | 4,445,210 | 129,167 | 2 | Can You Say , ' Left Wing Propaganda ? ' | The good and the bad of this animated film are extreme .

The 5 . 1 digital sound provides great audio , too , with surround coming out of all five speakers and a sub-woofer , especially when the huge iron robot walks , really makes the sound dyna... |
522,785 | 4,445,210 | 71,249 | 2 | Don''t Bring Me The Sleaze Of Peckinpauh & Co . | I remember that Batman film in which our hero fights a villain called " Mr .

Sleaze , " especially in the ' 70s , I can't think of actor who better looked and acted the part than Warren Oates . He demonstrates that sordid fac... |
525,805 | 4,445,210 | 129,387 | 2 | Modern-Day Comedy Sleaze | Sorry , but I didn't think this was as good as most people did . Many moviegoers thought this was hilarious ; I didn't . Oh , I laughed hard at a few scenes , of course , but the main attraction for me was Cameron Diaz ' face more than the comedy . The humor is a little too sleazy for my tastes . I love comedy and own ... |

That , and the ridiculous theology turned me off fast... |
526,226 | 4,445,210 | 86,617 | 2 | Sorry , But It's Too Much Of A Stretch | This has to be a favorite of all the hippie , left-wing loonies of the ' 60s ( of which I was one ) with its slants and sleazy atmosphere . But worse than the above-normal political psycho - babble was the credibility regarding Linda Hunt's character , " Billy Kwan . " We are expected to believe that Linda is a man ? H... |
526,510 | 4,445,210 | 156,820 | 2 | Like A Bad David Lynch Film | The first third of this film was very interesting , but mainly because of the good black-and - white closeup photography in that first 30-45 minutes . Then the story began to get very distasteful with characters I could not care about , and I doubt most people could . The story is a bit disjointed and sordid about a dw... |
524,362 | 4,445,210 | 105,682 | 2 | Simply Boring , Not Much Else | The only things worth watching and hearing in this French film are Emmanuelle Beart's face and some of Ravel's violin music , respectively . Otherwise , this is an incredibly boring movie ; a very long , drawn out soap opera . It's nothing but people yakking away . The fact national critics rave about this movie is min... |
524,347 | 4,445,210 | 59,711 | 2 | Shame On Stewart | What a shock to see Jimmy Stewart play an anti-Christian role , although he did similar Believing-bashing roles in the ' 50s and ' 60s , not subtly but they were there , such as Charles Lindburg ( who scoffed that prayer would help him on his long journey , etc . ) .

However , there are exceptions to most things and that's the case here ( and " Major League " ) because it's not really a baseball story . . . . . just a tale about low-life people . It's no surprise that Susan Sarandon , Tim Robbins and Kevi... |
522,491 | 4,445,210 | 95,652 | 3 | Another George Romero Disappointment | For over an hour , this was fairly interesting but by the time the last 30-40 minutes had arrived , the unlikeable characters and general nature of the film made me not want to see much more . I did stick it out for the ending , climactic scenes but wouldn't watch this movie again . It just wasn't as good as I had hope... |
523,102 | 4,445,210 | 95,638 | 3 | Political Propaganda That's Full Of Beans | This started off so well , with some absolutely beautiful New Mexico scenery , I had high hopes . Unfortunately , they were dashed the rest of the way as director Robert Redford had to shout his Left Wing politics loud and clear in our face . So what we wind up with is a low-down , dishonest greedy Right Wing big busin... |

Unfortunately , the bad outweighs the good . The GOOD - Magnificent scenery , better than the first film . I love those high country shots in Australia . Tom Burlinson is still a... |
524,371 | 4,445,210 | 155,975 | 3 | A Dumb Idea That Didn't Work | Well , I have to agree with the critics on this one , who all said " leave it alone . " Why they had to make this re-make of the 1960 " Psycho , " I don't know . My guess is they wanted to reach a new audience and thought color and modern-day actors were the answer , since those were the main changes . The dialog was t... |
527,184 | 4,445,210 | 104,782 | 3 | Starts Fine But Gets Increasingly Ugly | What an odd story . It was a good one for the first two-thirds of the film but the last third got so sick - at least to me and what little standards I possess , it lost favor with me . I got rid of it for that reason : overall - just too sick and too strange . It gets ugly because a 12-year-old kid , whom the story is ... |
522,694 | 4,445,210 | 1,206,158 | 3 | The Disappearing Cast Of CSI | This might be - except for the final minute - the first time I've ever seen a season-concluding CSI episode that , frankly , was boring . That's unheard of for all three of these shows : Las Vegas , Miami and New York . Granted , something dramatic happens which keeps you hanging until the new fall season , but here it... |
526,426 | 4,445,210 | 166,396 | 3 | Greedy People Not Funny | I have some Irish heritage but I'm not from Ireland . I love Irish music , like the people , like the accent . think the country is beautiful , etc . I say all this because this movie sucked , and to me made the Irish people look like idiots . Let's hope they aren't like the annoying characters in this film . In here ,... |
524,167 | 4,445,210 | 36,269 | 3 | Cute , But Just For The Tiny Tots | This was quite informative , at least first two minutes , as we are given facts about the armadillo It was pretty interesting , too . The setting is Belem , Brazil , where we next see another species , " tourista Americano , " deplane for a quick stopover . Actually we see two : Micky and Pluto . The dog sees a ball ne... |
524,350 | 4,445,210 | 16,630 | 3 | Battling Butler A Buster Bomb | The first 30 minutes of this Buster Keaton film are some of the stupidest he ever made , at least from what I've seen . I don't blame him ; this is the film world where even since this period - around 1920 - marriage is always trivialized and people are always lying . Why was that so frequent in classic movies , in par... |
522,473 | 4,445,210 | 44,863 | 3 | Was Jane Russell Ever In A Good Movie ? | I'm still waiting to discover a good movie in which Jane Russell starred . I haven't seen one yet . If you know of one , let me know . Best as I can tell , Howard Hughes tried to make her a star for two reasons : her breasts . It couldn't have been for her acting ability or that her presence would enhance a quality fil... |
524,485 | 4,445,210 | 51,622 | 3 | See The Re-Make Instead | Here's one case where the re-make is far , far better than the original . This also is another case of a vastly overrated science-fiction film of the ' 50s . Most sci-fi films of that period , including this one , have such primitive special effects that they destroy any credibility of presenting a scary story . In thi... |
523,426 | 4,445,210 | 443,649 | 3 | Yeah , It's True What They Are Writing Here | I was hoping to like this movie , to give it a better review than most might give it . . . . but I couldn't . In the end , I had to agree with the reviewers here on IMDb , that this movie stinks . It's true . It's also one of those films that starts off okay , lures you in , and then deteriorates . With 40 minutes to g... |
524,366 | 4,445,210 | 86,837 | 3 | 2010 : Not A Good Year | Once again , we see ( 1 ) a sequel that isn't even close to the greatness of the original film ; ( 2 ) Hollywood once again bashing the U . S . government with conspiracy theories ; ( 3 ) low-class people playing astronauts ; ( 4 ) another left-wing agenda promoting a secular version of the origin of man ; ( 5 ) anothe... |
523,549 | 4,445,210 | 36,104 | 3 | One Suspenseful Scene - That Was It | This film is part of the Val Lewton Horror Collection , released on DVD a short time ago . Each disc contains two feature films . This one was with " The Ghost Ship . " I found the latter far more entertaining than this movie . I first saw this movie in the mid ' 90s , was not that impressed , but gave it another look ... |
524,082 | 4,445,210 | 25,580 | 3 | How NOT To Make A Shirley Temple Film | The year 1934 was when Shirley Temple played three major movies and really began to make a name for herself . Unfortunately , the studios had to experiment to see what the public best liked about here . Two of those things were singing and dancing . Another was a short , interesting film that kept people's attention an... |
522,439 | 4,445,210 | 44,758 | 3 | Sorry To See Irene Dunne Exit Like This | Irene Dunne finished her illustrious career with this so-so movie . She should have gone out with a bang , being the classy actress she was , not in this unmemorable , almost unknown film . This lightweight comedy is okay , but nothing special . The first half of it is far better as it gets pretty stupid in the second ... |
524,064 | 4,445,210 | 114,129 | 3 | Sulking Is Entertainment ? | This is a Japanese film but there is quite a bit of English also spoken in here . It's a pretty film , with nice visuals , featuring the scenic beauty of Hawaii . However , that was the only redeeming quality for me . The story was generally boring . Who wants to watch a young woman sulk for 90 percent of the film beca... |
522,549 | 4,445,210 | 71,206 | 3 | Benji ( The Movie ) Bites Big-Time | You know the movie could have been a lot better when the animal - in this case , a little dog - is the best actor on the screen ! The acting in this film is so bad , so amateurish , by dog got embarrassed watching this . He ( " Rusty , " our Golden Retreiver ) could have done a better job than the people in here . By n... |
523,544 | 4,445,210 | 465,494 | 3 | The Poor Man's ' Bourne Identity ' | Most of what you read here in the user-comments is true : this is basically a check-your - brains-at-the-door flick , filled with mindless violence . However , it isn't all stupid . You do have use some brainpower to try follow this little " conspiracy " twist which is kind of a ripoff of the " Bourne Identity " storie... |
522,638 | 4,445,210 | 157,472 | 3 | The Good & Bad Of ' Clockstoppers ' | GOOD NEWS - This had a very interesting premise : having time stopped , except for one person wearing a special watch enabling he or she to move around and do anything while everyone else was frozen in time . There were fun special-effects in here , too . BAD NEWS - The dialog and the humor in here was so stupid , so C... |
525,261 | 4,445,210 | 44,557 | 3 | Not A Good Vehicle For Monroe | Don't bother to watch this film would be better advice , if you like Marilyn Monroe in her other roles . This was a huge disappointment considering the great cast , not just Marilyn . The story was just nothing , certainly nothing like described on the VHS box , of course . There simply was no suspense , precious lit... |
527,572 | 4,445,210 | 25,382 | 3 | What Was The Point Of This Popeye Sing-Å-Long ? | This early Popeye cartoon is not the normal fare for him . You know that when you first discover this is only two minutes long ! After we see the sailor man exhibit his strength on-board a ship , as he sings , it turns into a sing-a-long for all of us . " Sing along we me , " Popeye exhorts and the screen turns black w... |
524,129 | 4,445,210 | 44,417 | 3 | Beware Of Misleading Reviews & Overrated Movies | Wow , what an overrated movie this turned out to be ! It was supposed to be " an extremely suspenseful tale of a crazed killer holding a woman hostage and in terror in her home . " Well , I doubt it terrorized audiences in the early ' 50s and I know it would put today's audiences asleep . " Sends shivers down the spine... |
524,354 | 4,445,210 | 36,855 | 3 | Not Fun To Watch | Despite the great cast which also afforded me another opportunity to admire Ingrid Bergman's beauty , this movie wasn't nearly as appealing as I had hoped . That was because of the downer of a story . I did not find it fun to watch an innocent woman being mentally tortured for an hour , being accused of things she didn... |
526,280 | 4,445,210 | 44,533 | 3 | Very Disappointing Considering The Cast | A big disappointment , this " save the newspaper story with one big expose against a corrupt politician " was boring - the ultimate sin in a film . Also , I found none of the characters likable : no one to root for , despite the presence of some famous actors I like . The cast includes Humphrey Bogart , Ethel Barrymore... |
522,381 | 4,445,210 | 114,609 | 3 | Dousing Racial Fires With Gasoline | This is four short movies-in-one : four " tales , " ' so to speak . I liked the first three when I first watched this back in the mid 1990s . I did not like the fourth story . The " good " is that the stories are basically interesting and feature good sound and neat visuals . The " bad " is that they are racially-motiv... |
524,452 | 4,445,210 | 36,546 | 3 | Very Disappointing | With the title , I thought I'd see a parody of the great Jimmy Cagney film , " Yankee Doodle Dandy , " but that wasn't the case . The story was just Daffy trying to impress a movie studio mogul ( Porky Pig ) to get a starring role in a film . He holds Porky captive in the office for awhile and then follows him in a pla... |
526,266 | 4,445,210 | 86,245 | 3 | Not A Concert But A Documentary | Certain reviews ( not on this website ) misled me about this film and so I was expecting a great concert of up-tempo Gospel music . That's what I got it for - the music . The advertisement said , " jubilant , revitalizing musical . " Well , there are songs in here but they don't last long . Mostly , this is a documenta... |
524,925 | 4,445,210 | 105,108 | 4 | Not The Usual Rugged Rutger | This turned out to be more of a women's romance-soap-suspense film than what I hoped it was . . . . simply a tense thriller . Yes , the final 20 minutes were suspenseful but much of the previous 75 bordered on being just plain tedious . Ruter Hauer was a little too subdued , not playing his normal intense character . N... |
525,324 | 4,445,210 | 264,395 | 4 | Too Complex For Its Own Good , And A Bad Ending | This is one of those stories in which is is almost impossible to tell what the truth is and thus , keeps you scratching your head . Usually with these kind of movies , the reviewer is left at the end either very disappointed or thinking , " Huh ? How can that be ? " This most is almost in that category . It's just very... |
523,095 | 4,445,210 | 132,118 | 4 | Arbo Okay But Films Needed More Of Charlie | This Spanish version of the 1931 Charlie Chan film , " Charlie Chan Carries On " was fair to poor . . . . . closer to poor because Charlie didn't show up in the film until it was over half over . I've never seen that in any of the English-speaking Chan films . He's always front-and-center . This movie wasn't horrible b... |
524,801 | 4,445,210 | 112,740 | 4 | Hollywood Insists On Playing The Race Card | When I watched this back in 1996 , I enjoyed it was an interesting story , had two charismatic lead actors in Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington , good photography and sound and a nice feel-good ending . It still had all of that watching it five years later but then , after seeing literally several thousand films in th... |
527,150 | 4,445,210 | 35,100 | 4 | The Penguin Should Have Had A Bigger Role | This was an extremely silly ( downright stupid in spots ) farce of a comedy-adventure that gets by because it's so fast-moving and generally entertaining despite the cornball material . Even by Bob Hope standards - and his films were not the highlight of his incredible career - this film is not that funny . A major par... |
524,928 | 4,445,210 | 87,892 | 4 | Heavy-Handed British Snobbery Film | The first 45 minutes of this was great , thanks to some wonderful cinematography , which is no surprise since it is directed by one of the best ever : David Lean . The muted colors were pleasing to the eye in a very peaceful way . However , once the trip to the caves got underway , the movie began to become unappealing... |
527,579 | 4,445,210 | 26,121 | 4 | Muni's Accent Makes It Tough To Enjoy | If you can't understand what the lead actor is saying half the time , it's kind of hard to enjoy the film ! That's what I encountered trying to watch this as Paul Muni , as a Polish coal mine worker , speaks in such a heavy accent I couldn't decipher what he was saying . It gets to be a frustrating experience . If this... |
523,978 | 4,445,210 | 167,203 | 4 | Nice Premise & Locale , But Story Lacks Spark | As someone who loves African scenery and doesn't mind ogling Kim Bassinger , either , I was looking forward to seeing this film . It turned out to be disappointing . The scenery wasn't nearly what I had hoped , certainly no " Out Of Africa , " and the story was , in a word : boring . I never quite understood , or was t... |
