The film builds up suspense in the beginning and then takes off once " Chucky " comes to life . It almost takes half the movie for that to happen . It stays inten... |
526,618 | 4,445,210 | 114,681 | 9 | Now Here's A Strange And Fascinating Story | This is a different story and definitely interesting . The movie is listed as a comedy but it's more of a drama .

523,091 | 4,445,210 | 372,784 | 10 | Outstanding Batman ' Prequel ' | This latest Batman film disappointed a lot of people . . . . but not me .

523,753 | 4,445,210 | 167,139 | 10 | The Forerunner Of ' Unplugged ' Concerts | I remember seeing this when it was televised on MTV - the only time I ever watched a complete show on that network .

522,311 | 4,445,210 | 113,107 | 10 | I Wish More People Could See This | This is one of the great " unknowns " in the movie world : a great film seen by very few people .

The caller states he committed a murder awhile ago and stashed the body in the north end zone at Giants Stadium . He can't get that memory of the victim's screams out of his head and needed to confess . He hangs up and puts a gun to his head and kills himself . Wow , w... |
525,390 | 4,445,210 | 482,857 | 10 | Very Impressive , Realistic & Involving Western | I can only hope they someone keeps making Westerns because the few that have been made the last few years have been outstanding . This one , a TV miniseries , is just great . I can't enough good things about it . I saw it recently on DVD . It was a three-hour film . I thought I read somewhere that it was four hours , s... |
525,304 | 4,445,210 | 265,662 | 10 | They Did This Sports Movie Right | I love it when they actually do a sports story well . So many in the past have been so hokey it was embarrassing to watch . Not this one . It's just a genuinely nice movie , an old-fashioned type of story - and based on a real-life guy to did exactly what Dennis Quaid did in this film . He plays a high school coach who... |
523,646 | 4,445,210 | 443,543 | 10 | One Of The Classiest Films You'll See All Year | First of all , let me say this was a beautifully-filmed movie , just gorgeous from first to last frame . That gets big points with me . Just as impressive was the story , a fantasy-mystery - romance-drama combination set in Vienna , Austria , around the turn of the 20th century . It is a story that should keep most vie... |
523,319 | 4,445,210 | 44,797 | 10 | Outstanding Twist On A Familiar Theme | Even if the the story is a familiar one - a cat told to get rid of the mice in the home or he's history - this was an outstanding Looney Tunes cartoon with a different main character . Here , we have " Dodsworth , " a fat and very lazy cartoon , whose philosophy on life is summed up near the beginning . After being lec... |
526,533 | 4,445,210 | 36,022 | 10 | Great , Great Piece Of Americana | This is a unique drama , one of those unusual dramas where there are no villains , no evil people . Yet , it's not a sweet-and-sugary movie , either . It's simply a " slice of life , " as they say , or " Americana . " In the case , about life in a small California town during the middle of World War II . It is very tru... |
524,326 | 4,445,210 | 44,571 | 10 | Duck ! Duck ! - One Of The Best T & J Cartoons | This is one of the best Tom and Jerry cartoons I've seen , definitely rated in the top echelon . It has a very funny character in this little duck , who keeps getting shot and injured by Tom and repaired by Jerry and it has outstanding artwork . I rarely comment on the drawings in T & J cartoons , but you can't help ap... |
524,322 | 4,445,210 | 44,620 | 10 | Very Clever , Very Funny | This is a story I have seen elsewhere but I can't remember in which cartoon . The premise is the same : the little hero saves a dog from pain and the dog promises to be his guardian . In here , all Jerry has to do is ring a little bell and the dog will immediately come to his rescue and pulverize anything that's bother... |
522,417 | 4,445,210 | 120,873 | 10 | Very Worthy Sequel To A Great Film | This is an outstanding sequel to an outstanding movie The Fugitive ( 1993 ) . In this film , the focus is on the team that was searching for Dr . Richard Kimble in the first movie . That team was led by Tommy Lee Jones , who won an Oscar for his performance , which probably helped spur this sequel . It worked , as Jone... |
523,853 | 4,445,210 | 482,571 | 10 | Just As Intriguing The Second Time , Too ! | I've seen this film twice now - about a year ago and then yesterday - and thoroughly enjoyed it both times , even the second time when I remembered some of those fantastic twists in the last half hour . Sometimes it's even more fun to view a film like this when you know a few things , because earlier scenes take on new... |
524,440 | 4,445,210 | 36,775 | 10 | Justifiably At The Top Of Most Film Noir Lists | This is one of the best-liked classic films of all time and I am among that large group of fans as well . I am still waiting for a DVD to come out that will give this film the treatment it deserves . Few movies have ever had dialog this entertaining . . . . . at least the conversations between Barbara Stanwyck and Fred... |
524,443 | 4,445,210 | 36,727 | 10 | Oh , The Help These Days . . . . . It's Deplorable ! | Don't you just love it when the Stooges totally trash a high-society party ? That's just one of the many crazy scenes in this one . This particular Three Stooges film might have more gags per minute than any of the many they made . It's unbelievable ; non-stop lunacy , led by Curly's antics , for 17-and-a-half minutes ... |
524,873 | 4,445,210 | 44,339 | 10 | Gtranny Goes To The Dogs , And Sylvester Pays The Price | Tweety and a little mouse are in cages at a pet shop , right in the front window . Sylvester is just outside the window and is licking his chops . Obviously , he has to figure out how to get these " meals . " Right from the first gag , in which the cat throws a brick at the window , is spotted by a cop and races to sto... |
524,990 | 4,445,210 | 941,929 | 10 | You Wouldn't Want To Meet Either Of These Two Creatures ! | This was my first look at this series the Animal Planet Network's new " Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom " has in which they pit two animals against each other . It's not literal - there is no " match " in which the two animals actually fight each other , but they make it a contest with 10 categories . They grade each an... |
522,789 | 4,445,210 | 191,992 | 10 | Clapton & Co . ' s Best Work | I have a lot of Eric Clapton DVDs , VHS concert tapes and , of course , CDs and this " 24 Nights " holds a special place among all of them . It might be the pinnacle of Clapton's fantastic career . This is so good I have the DVD and the two-disc CD . There are four segments to this concert , filmed over several days an... |
523,410 | 4,445,210 | 59,825 | 10 | A Different Kind Of WWII Movie , And One Of The Best | This is one of my all-time favorite war movies , always rated in the top three since I first saw it years ago . I rate it so high because of four main things : 1 - Wonderful black-and-white photography ; 2 - an interesting cast led by two great actors , Burt Lancaster and Paul Scofield ; 3 - An intelligent , different ... |
523,887 | 4,445,210 | 52,189 | 10 | The Wolf May Not Have Stolen The Sheep , But He StoleThe Show | This was very , very good , and only a weak ending in the last minute prevented this from being one of the best Droopy cartoons I've ever seen . It still ranks pretty high , thanks to " the wolf , " who is flat-out hilarious in here . The wolf is after the sheep , guarded by Droopy , the fearless Sheepherder . The wolf... |
522,691 | 4,445,210 | 1,065,626 | 10 | This Gives You A Great Feel For Memphis And It's Blues Artists Over The Years | I liked this episode because you get a real taste of what it was ( and is ) like for a musician on tour , traveling thousands of miles on a bus . You get a feel for Memphis , a nice history of Beale Street , and a great feel for what it's like to be a blues artist back in " the old days " and " now " in that city . We ... |
524,155 | 4,445,210 | 1,065,625 | 10 | Great Episode For Those Of Us Who Love British Bluesmen | I've seen this twice , and I could watch this episode in this 7-part documentary many more times , too . Of course , the fact that British ( and a couple of Irish ) guitarists and blues artists are mostly my favorites , explains why I loved watching and hearing this on TV and on now on DVD . I mean , for starters , wha... |
522,851 | 4,445,210 | 36,547 | 10 | Extremely Good ; Well - - Deserved Academy Award Winner | This is a Tom & Jerry " war " cartoon with Jerry in the war mode pulverizing hapless Tom . Right from the beginning when he's tossing " hen-grenades " ( eggs ) to the end , he's using all kinds of objects as warfare . There are bunch of clever references to war slogans but modified , such as " That Friendly Rat May Tel... |
523,723 | 4,445,210 | 801,865 | 10 | An Involving , Sad Story | A Navy-Marine corporal " Price " has been found dead in central park during Fleet Week . A highly-decorated combat veteran . . . . and there are no signs of a struggle ? Mac , Danny and Flack take the case . It turns out to be a puzzling case . The shocker is the second case . A charred body is found inside a car , an ... |
524,465 | 4,445,210 | 36,508 | 10 | LT Writers Spoof Themselves | We see something unusual right off the bat in this cartoon : a quick picture of something that isn't animated . In this case , it's a giant hamburger . That's what one of two starving guys on a raft out in the ocean sees , instead of his partner . The other guy soon is hallucinating , too , seeing food where human body... |
522,507 | 4,445,210 | 1,360,788 | 10 | Review Of The Blu-Ray Disc | Wow is the first word that comes to mind in trying to describe this concert footage of Jeff Beck at this London jazz club , " Ronnie Scott's . " I have seen Jeff Beck play guitar a few times here and there over the years , but never more than a couple songs at one venue . Now , I pretty much have an idea of all his g... |
527,376 | 4,445,210 | 59,598 | 10 | The Most Incredible And Funny Fly I've Ever Seen , And The Best Sound | The beginning of this Pink Panther cartoon certainly was different . Inserted in the animation were real-life , black-and-white pictures of various action scenes on an animated television set . We see a sleepy-eyed Panther with his remote control changing channels . ( I don't even remember having remote-controls back i... |
524,391 | 4,445,210 | 24,947 | 10 | The First Totally Wild & Crazy Popeye Cartoon | Can you Take It is one of the wildest Popeye cartoons I've ever seen and easily the most frenetic of the early ones . In fact , I think it's safe to say this is one most entertaining and different " adventures " Popeye ever had . The cartoon following this also was insane , so it looks like Popeye's outrageous humor ... |
524,641 | 4,445,210 | 86,034 | 10 | Bond As Indiana Jones | Was there ever a James Bond like this one ? Oh , there were better Bond stories , no doubt , but I do doubt there were any more entertaining than this one . In " Octopussy , " we get more of an Indiana Jones-type adventure story than the usual spy farce . In fact , there is so much adventure in here it gets tiring , to... |
522,337 | 4,445,210 | 94,847 | 10 | Possibly The Best Cartoon I've Ever Seen | I have seen a lot of funny cartoons , but very few which brought a big smile to my face the entire duration of the film . I just could not believe how good this was , from the hilarious animation - mainly " Mr . Johnson , " to the clever jokes that are in here one after the other after the other . Kudos to Cordell Bark... |
573,310 | 4,532,636 | 73,812 | 1 | Makes Even the Who's Music Sound Bad | Really , a pretty hopelessly bad movie . I can't imagine any but the most die-hard Who fans liking this , and even then it might try their patience . The music doesn't even sound good in this rock opera about a traumatized boy who becomes a pinball sensation . There might be a point to the story , but God knows what it... |
573,367 | 4,532,636 | 147,612 | 1 | Gives a Bad Name to Independent Cinema | Happiness is a film that has nothing to say to me , as it's about a version of America I don't recognize and have never seen . Director Todd Solondz , whose style and choice of subject matter could best be described as repellent , seems to think all Americans are living miserable , fractured lives and anyone who's no... |
574,055 | 4,532,636 | 361,309 | 1 | A Terrible , Pointless Movie with a Wasted Cast | A whole bunch of talent is wasted in this dismal film that wanders all over the place but goes nowhere . Mark Ruffalo , Naomi Watts , Laura Dern . . . . come on ! If you've got a star roster like that and can't come up with anything better than this film , your right to make movies should be revoked . This is one of th... |
573,660 | 4,532,636 | 411,705 | 1 | Has It Been 9 Songs Yet ? | This is the question you may find yourself asking repeatedly throughout this dismal movie . It takes talent to make even graphic sex scenes dull , so I guess in that regard Michael Winterbottom is a talented film maker . This movie sucks , plain and simple . It wants to be too tasteful to be outright porn , yet the exp... |
573,442 | 4,532,636 | 83,564 | 1 | Did John Huston Lose a Bet ? | What possessed John Huston to make a film version of the popular stage musical in the first place is beyond me , but if he was going to bother to make it , what possessed him to make such a gormless , clunky mess of it is inexplicable . " Annie " is simply dreadful . It has none of the movement and flow a musical shoul... |
573,710 | 4,532,636 | 757,361 | 1 | A Repugnant Film | A typical conversation from " Margot at the Wedding " might go something like this : " You were always so pretty . " " WERE pretty ? Does that mean you don't think I'm pretty anymore ? " " Why are you responding with all of this passive aggressive hostility ? I was just trying to pay you a compliment . " " You know , I... |
573,596 | 4,532,636 | 479,884 | 1 | Worthless | Crank is 50 minutes of some of the worst film-making I have ever seen . Why 50 minutes , you ask , when the film's running time is 87 minutes ? Because that's all I could get through before I gave up on a piece of trash that didn't even deserve that much of my time . There are hundreds , nay thousands , of films out ... |
573,591 | 4,532,636 | 795,421 | 1 | Relentlessly Awful | If this aggressively , sadistically cheerful movie does not make you want to jab a fork into your eye within the first two minutes , then you and I should probably never get together for drinks . A stage musical based on the songs of ABBA was probably an unnecessary endeavor to begin with , so a movie based on that sta... |
