cybernetic dog goes on killing spree , but why ?
well , . i'm not sure what i was expecting , but this wasn't it . the plot for this thing is all over the map , with some subplots added in that have very little relevance . actually , the movie has very little relevance . the acting was not good and the dialogue was forgettable . as for the dog , it was not realistic ...

pretty boring and lame
this is an episode of the New Scooby Doo movies from 1972 . it has Scooby and the gang meeting up with the Harlem Globe Trotters and running into a mystery , ( naturally ) with ghosts , and a sea serpent . this episode is very slow and and the story is kinda lame . there's a few good lines courtesy of the Globe Trotter...

forget this one , check out the superior sequel instead
i actually commented on the sequel to this movie , thinking i would never bother to write a comment on this one . the sequel is actually not bad , but the original is not so good . i found it boring and mean spirited even for a so called horror movie . it doesn't really make a lot of sense either . and i found it depre...

oh , brother
i hate to say this , but this movie is dumb , even for a Van Damme flick . the story is stupid and slow and has no flow at all . the fight scenes are nothing special , similar to blood sport but pale in comparison . Roger Moore is in this one , and may be the only good thing about this mess . and just once , is it too ...

while i didn't mind the original The Shaggy Dog ( 1959 ) , i thought this sequel was not too good . i found it way too silly and absurd , and not realistic . by that , i'm not talking about the premise , a man transforms into a dog . that i can accept as being within the confines of the movie . what i found unrealistic...

no comedic chemistry between Ford and Hartnett
i was so disappointed with this movie . a buddy cop film with Josh Hartnett and Harrison Ford should have had potential , shouldn't it ? Ford and Hartnett play two cops who are partners and who also have second hobs to make ends meet or to have financial independence . they are called in to investigate the murder of a ...

this western / musical / comedy is not one of the best of the genre i have seen . i found it much too slow . it just plodded along to the inevitable end . i also found it disjointed . i couldn't wait for it to be over .

this is an interesting tale as far as ghost stories go . i won't go into the plot because i don't want to give anything away . unfortunately , the premise is interesting , but the rest of the movie plods along at a snail's pace . there is next to no action . the story is very dialogue driven and not enough is done with...

you will likely be sorely disappointed by this sequel that's not a sequel .

In " Presumed Innocent " , Harrison Ford plays deputy prosecutor Rusty Sabich , who has been assigned to investigate the murder of a colleague . the hitch is , he had been sleeping with . he digs a bit deeper into the case than someone wants him to and finds himself charged with her murder . i had had the chance to wat...

average animated movie , below average animated comedy
i'm a bit surprised at the fairly high rating this movie has ( just over ) the film was hyped so much and heaped with praise . even a good friend of mine told me it was hilarious . imagine my surprise in finding out it is not hilarious at all , barely even comical . there are a couple of " light chuckle " moments , but...

passably entertaining , if you can get past the first 30 min
At first , i didn't like this movie . i just didn't see the point . i mean there was next to no plot . lots of nudity , ( always a good thing ) drunk people doing really silly things . and of course a psycho killer stalking the staff of the island resort where the movie is set . there are lots of crude and raunchy situ...

should have remained buried
i can't think of too much to like about this alleged horror movie . to me , it lacked any real scares . there is a bit of suspense though not very much . the setting has promise : Catacombs beneath the streets of Paris . that's certainly an eerie place to base a horror film . but , for whatever reason , it just didn't ...

forgettable sequel , although it is louder
the first Scanners may not have been a great movie , but at least it was original . there is no such novelty to this one . the acting is worse , in my opinion , and the story is slower and nothing special . i also didn't like the dialogue . and the special effects are no better than in the original . this is movie is i...

same old , same old
i'll start with the positives . i really like the characters that Bruce Campbell and Ernie Hudson played . they were both very likable . Bruce Campbell did a very good job in his role as a storm chaser . not once did i think of him in his Evil Dead persona . Ernie Hudson was also credible in his role as a scientist who...

too rushed , unlikable main character
this movie just didn't do it for me . it's supposed to be thrilling and suspenseful , but i found it to be neither . i can't put my finger on it why it didn't work for me , it just didn't . as you can probably tell from the title , the focus of the movie is a phone booth , and that's where most of the movie takes place...

i wasn't too impressed with this
i wasn't too impressed with this movie . it is in the style of both the Conan movies , but i didn't like it anywhere near as much . there was lots of action , but i still found it to be slow and boring . it becomes a bit more interesting from the halfway point on , but barely . i didn't find the acting very good , alth...

not your Father's tooth fairy
this movie is similar to Darkness Falls , and The Boogeyman ( 2005 ) but it's also much more graphic than both , and not as good as either . it's also slow and fairly predictable . it's also got shades of Deliverance and the Amityville Horror . plus , we get some new age flavour thrown in the mix and some of those scen...

not so good
i was none to impressed with this effort in the disaster genre . i found it too way too long to get going , and was boring . i also didn't think the earthquake sequence was that spectacular . it just wasn't that exciting , nor did it look very realistic , even by the standards of that era ( 1974 . ) i have seen other m...

certainly a step ( or three ) above part I
i hated the original Hostel with a passion . so i was surprised that i didn't hate part 2 . the story is pretty much the same , with mostly different characters , so of course it's predictable . i didn't find it as sick a the first one . as a matter of fact there are only one or two gory scenes . the first 50 minutes o...

this thing is all over the place . it's disjointed , and there doesn't seem to be a point to a lot of it . probably most largely remembered as Jane Russel's first movie role , even though she didn't have that big a part . anyway , this thing just goes on and on and on . there were times i was sure it was over , and it ...

i wasn't too impressed with this
i found this movie to be mostly a P . O . S . it was low budget , but that isn't the problem . the problem is , the movie is just lame . it doesn't really make a lot of sense . yes , it does explain why things happened , but that's not what i mean . there was just no reason for it all . the movie also moved very slow ....

in fact , it's your typical action / crime drama . the characters are stereotypical for this genre . i also found the movie slow and depressing . i was quite disappointed . i was expecting a much better movie than this . the action is slow , and there really isn't much originality here . Andrew Davis directed this one ...

i don't think this was a good film . first off , i just found it so tediously slow . it never really picked up much at all . when it gets to the " reveal " of some undersea life , it redeems itself somewhat , but not much . though i will say the special effects were pretty impressive in this regard . the problem is , w...

not too good ( especially if you expect to laugh )
this movie is billed as a spoof / comedy , but it's not really funny . there are 1 or 2 mildly amusing moments , but mostly it's just silly , without being funny . this movie would work as an actual spy movie , except that you have the expectation that you will laugh . it's gonna be hard to get the required 10 lines of...

the premise for this movie is clever and original .

Wicker Park is a movie that starts out promising , but ends up becoming a convoluted mess . the actors all do fine jobs with what they are given , but the writing sinks the film . the movie has some degree of realism and logic in the earlier stages but then quickly bogs down in one implausible scenario after another . ...

the thing about this movie is for the better part of it , next to nothing happens . this is one sublime movie . i wouldn't say it's a bad movie , but if you are looking for action , you will have to look elsewhere . to be fair , most movies of the 70's are much slower , or seem to be , compared to today's films . there...
