this movie is a violation ( but my cactus liked it )
i should have known what i was getting myself into as soon as i realized some of the same people behind Police Academy , were responsible for this thing . but , i thought i'd give it a shot . turns out , all copies of this movie should be shot into outer space , where it can do no harm , at least to us earthlings . i g...

not suitable for kids or adults , not suitable for any age group .
this movie is pretty bad . i haven't been this bored in a long time . Alec Baldwin must have been into the sauce when he agreed to do this thing . it's marketed as a kid's movie with a PG rating , but this really isn't a kid's movie . there is some very adult language implied . yet it is not a movie for adults either ,...

an absolutely dreadful excuse for comedy
lame-o . i think this bomb was supposed to be a comedy . but that assumes laughter would be involved , and you know what they say when you assume . bottom line , not funny , not even mildly amusing . it is however , stupid . but it isn't a total loss . i mean , after this experience , i now have a new appreciation for ...

outdoes the previous " House " ( more often known as " The horror show " ) entry in sheer crappiness
so , on we go to round three of the " House " series . we ( my sister and i ) had watched the first entry all the way through and were underwhelmed , to say the least . the second one lowered the bar for crappiness even further . how bad could number 3 be ? it starts off promising enough . after all , it had Lance Henr...

a true z movie if there ever was one
wooo-eeee . does this movie suck . i'd say it was a b movie , but it's more like a z movie . from the 30 minutes i was able to suffer through , this is a typical teen slasher movie , except that some crazed swamp monster is doing the killing . almost right off the bat , you have the requisite sex scene between two teen...

This movie is pathetic . every drama i've ever seen is funnier than this " alleged " " comedy . even the anti piracy warning before the movie , is funnier . i'd give an overview of the plot , but it's just too painful . right after the movie , i booked myself for a sinus scraping , followed directly after by a 4 day in...

final and worst installment of the " House " series ( i'm not joking )
how low can you go ? not much lower than this , the 4th and final ( hopefully ) installment int the dreadfully awful " House " series . each previous entry outdid the last for sheer crap . the last installment , made it about 30 minutes , when we realized we couldn't go any further . we never laughed once , nor jumped ...

funny
what a dog this thing was . i'm just glad i saw it on premium cable , and didn't lose any money on it . i did however lose 77 minutes of my life . it actually seemed like three hours before this thing finally ended . it's done in the style of the original Halloween , and the original Prom Night , but it's nowhere near ...

pretty awful
while not the worst movie i have seen , this one ranks right up ( or down ) there . it's a wild west / vampire movie , but it pretty much fails on both counts . there's very little action , and what little action there is is , is unexciting . the story isn't very good , although it could have been . i haven't heard dia...

boredom ( among other things ) reigns
oh , my word . i don't know what i just witnessed , but i know it wasn't good . this is not a good movie , at all . i'm not sure if i've ever been this bored in my life . it's supposed to be horror movie of sorts . the only problem is , they forgot to put in anything that would be scary . it's also done on the cheap , ...

i didn't find it funny at all
i found this movie for a very cheap price and thought , how bad could it be . right off , i could tell the budget was next to nothing . at least it felt that way . it is supposed to be comedy , but from what i watched , it was not funny at all . i also noticed that the same manufacturer and distributer were also behind...

only the last 15 minutes or so offer any redemption to this movie
this movie isn't that great . in fact , it's not really even good . it's very slow , boring and depressive . OK , maybe depressive is what they were going for . still , there aren't many scares in this one . the characters are likable but barely developed . honestly , only the last 15 minutes offer any redemption to th...

. . . and i am merely confused
why ? well , i'm glad you asked . the reason is quite simple . this movie seems to have gotten rave reviews , and it has a high rating ( ) on this site . this really astounds me , since we are talking about a movie that has no real story , is dragged out and boring , and has underwhelming looking CG creatures . this mo...

does not come close to the quality of the TV show
this animated Inspector Gadget movie is pretty lame . the story is very weak , and there is little action . most of the characters are given little to nothing to do . the movie is mildly entertaining at best , but really doesn't go any where and is pointless . it's watchable but only just and is nowhere near the calibr...

inferior clone of the original

i can't say i liked this movie very much . it has some amusing moments , but it doesn't seem able to make up its mind whether it is a comedy or a drama . it doesn't really work as either . it's too light in tone to be a drama , and the amusing moments are few and far between . it also doesn't make a lot of sense . thin...

for me , this movie was very disappointing . for 1 thing , ( spoiler ahead ) it is marketed as a comedy , yet , in my opinion it is a drama / action movie . there are a few mildly funny scenes , and maybe 1 or 2 very funny scenes . otherwise , this isn't a funny movie . the the subject matter is fairly dark , also . es...

Roth's pre Hostel effort crap , but less crap than Hostel
Cabin Fever is the first feature film directed by Eli Roth . Roth and Randy Pearlstein co wrote the script from a story by Roth . this a zombie film , which owes a lot to George Romero and his earlier " living dead movies " , and to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacrenot to mention Sam Ramie's " Evil Dead " . there is...

as far as horror movies go , this one has nothing new . and the movie is pretty slow , but not as slow as some . for awhile the movie was just that , a slow horror movie . but then it degenerates into some absurd subplots that have no point to the movie . the acting becomes laughable , and the movie joins it . there's ...

some books just don't translate to the ( big or small ) screen

nothing in the way of thrills in this one ( in my opinion )
while this isn't anywhere near the worst movie i have ever seen , i wouldn't quite say i liked it . i won't go into the plot because it's pretty evident in the title . the scenes with the creature are OK , but nothing spectacular , certainly not exciting at all . there is not much excitement in the movie at all for my ...

a sequel to 1974's Chinatown , lacking the same spark and imagination
this movie is the sequel to 1974's Chinatown . Jack Nicholson directed this film and stars again as Jake Gittes . Robert Towne wrote the script and the movie is based on characters created by him . it is hard not to compare this movie to its predecessor and comparisons are inevitable . so here goes .

lately , it seems the last few movies i have reviewed have basically been of the wall to wall action and realty defying stunts category . the same holds true for this movie . the only difference is , most of the action and stunts happen to occur high above sea level . on mountain to be exact . i actually almost hated t...
