an eerie ghost story that is very slow at times ( only those with patience should watch ) but with an ending that some may find unpredictable
Red Rover also called " The Haunting Within " , is an eerie ghost story . it is beautifully photographed with a haunting Celtic soundtrack . the acting is certainly good , and the the movie is very stylish . However it is almost painfully slow at times and sometimes plot is real hard to make sense of . there are a fe...

western / comedy with Don Knotts , Tim Conway and Bill Bixby
this western / comedy starring Don Knotts , Tim Conway , and Bill Bixby is a movie the whole family can watch . there's nothing offensive that i noticed . the thing is , though , the movie is not all that great . sure , it does have a few comedic moments ( courtesy of Knotts and Conway ) , which provide some lite chuck...

real court cases with actors portraying the actual people
billed s an early example of reality TV , this series presents 25 minute ( or so ) episode of ' real court cases ' but with actors portraying the real people . and of course most , if not all of the names have been changed to protect the individual . the character of the judge is always the same , played by the same ac...

better than i expected or hoped
for a Van Damme movie , this isn't half bad . there's some pretty good action sequences , and the dramatic scenes aren't too shabby either . it's not a great film , by any stretch , but it is almost good . too bad the general premise is fairly weak and unoriginal , though i admit there were some details that were a bit...

disappointing , to say the least
this is the first CG animated adventure of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . i had fairly high hopes for this movie . unfortunately , it didn't live up to them . i found the story lacking and uninteresting . plus , it just moves too slow . i didn't find the action scenes very good either . honestly , i just didn't thi...

less of the fantasy element than i'd hoped for ( and not a movie for young kids )
i was disappointed in this movie . it thought there would be more of a fantasy element to it , but that was just a very small part of the movie . most of the movie was nothing spectacular , with very little story or character development . i just felt they could have done more with the material . that's not to say that...

i just couldn't get all that excited about this movie . i mean , there are a few scenes of tidal waves , which look okay , i guess , but not spectacular . to me , , the parts of the movie involving the 2 main characters , seemed like an episode of moonlighting , more than anything else . and overall , the movie is the ...

not a horrible movie , but much too methodical for my tastes
this is a hard movie to review . i mean , it has a unique premise : that it is possible to erase selected memories from your mind , so you can forget any heartache and pain . that's sort of the gist , but things don't actually work out quite that way for the characters involved . aside from the unique premise , i found...

unless you're really bored , i wouldn't bother to pick up
to me , this movie is not great . the premise is of course , absurd , but i knew that going in , so that's not really the problem . the problem is , the movie itself doesn't generate much in the way of suspense or thrills . there's a subplot thrown in that doesn't really have a point . Shannon Sossamon is OK in her rol...

this film is inspired by 1933's The Mystery of The House of Wax . many scenes are identical and some of the dialogue is verbatim , but this version is much more fleshed out , both story wise , and character wise . it's also on a grander scale . however , for me , most of the characters were not that interesting , and t...

A ghost horror story with little new ( but the atmosphere is fairly effective )
Death Tunnel is really nothing new , or special . it's a horror / ghost story . and again we have the tag line " based on true events " . whether movie is based on or inspired by true events really adds no merit to the movie .

while i didn't think this was a bad movie , i don't think it holds a candle to the first 101 Dalmatians movie . i found it much slower for the first half or so , and then it piked up . there's quite a bit of slapstick , once again involving Cruella de vil and her henchmen Horace and Jasper . this movie is certainly muc...

not as good as i had hoped
this is only the second animated Popeye short i have seen , the first one being With Swee ' Pea , which i thought was pretty good . this one , i didn't like as much . it doesn't stack up too well , in my opinion . there's a lot of action , but i didn't find a lot of it all that funny . Bluto ( Popeye's nemesis ) plays ...

a bizarre , very stylistic take on " little red riding hood "
Neil Jordan's company of wolves is a strange movie , to say the least . it is esoteric and surreal , and filled with imagery and symbolism . aesthetically speaking it is beautiful to watch . this is not a movie about werewolves per SE , but a commentary on the human condition and the beast that lurks within us all . th...

creepy music , but no real scares
not bad , i guess . it had some creepy moments , courtesy of some ' Omen ' type music . you know , the chanting in Latin . it wasn't really scary , though . the concept is neat , but not wholly original . there was an original Star Trek episode that may have inspired the idea for the short story . and it also has eleme...

starts out slow , picks up steam in second half
as far as western go , this one is pretty decent once you get past the half way point . until then , it's a bit slow , with not much happening . after that , things pick up and the story gets interesting . it follows the formula of many western of the day . corrupt landowner wants all the neighboring land around him an...

unfortunately " Sleep Aid " would have been a more apt title ( although they tried hard to make this one work )
i didn't like this movie too much . as a matter of fact , it nearly put me to sleep . how's that for irony . the movie is basically about murder which occurs in a small Alaskan town . two big city cops are sent to investigate . the twist to this movie . the sun doesn't set , which throws everything out of whack for the...

where no Friday the 13th movie has gone before
this 10th installment in the never ending Friday the 13th series of films is is a blend of science fiction , action adventure and comedy . it's set in space in the year 2455 , and is pretty much ignores the rest of the films , other than still having a hockey masked Jason slaughtering people . it's somewhat entertainin...

has some amusing moments
there's are certainly a few amusing moments here , and i think i laughed pretty hard twice . overall , though , i thought it would be funnier than it was . it's still entertaining , and it's suitable for the whole family . there's no crude , lewd or potty humour . i think the DVD is missing a bit of footage from the ve...

somewhat suspenseful and amusing
this original version of Prom Night is much different than the remake . for one thing , there is actually some suspense in this one . plus the musical score is quite eerie and effective for awhile . at times though , the score just keeps going and going where it gets to be annoying . of course the score always telegrap...

great looking sets , but not much else
This is a movie that makes little sense , but then i don't think it's supposed to . regardless , i didn't think it was that great . i found it slow and boring , and it had too many musical numbers for my taste . but i will say that Robin Williams was good as Popeye , and i liked Shelley Duvall was good as Olive Oyl . i...

nowhere near the standard set by the original
for me , this sequel to " 28 Weeks Later " is quite inferior to the first one . i found it slow and very boring for the most part . there is less action , but when there is action , it is relentless and frenetic . this is a good thing , except there are not enough of these scenes in the movie . on the plus side i thoug...

pretty much blah-is how to describe this movie . i found it even slower , than the original ( boring in fact ) . it's also not scary or even creepy . plus , there are so many things that are preposterous about it all , it's hard to know where to begin . if the movie wasn't so boring , a lot of the absurdities could be ...

just be yourself ( )
that seems to be the overriding theme in this animated film . young kids will probably like it due to the bright colours and loud noise . the message is good , but the movie itself is not that special . it is obviously family friendly , as there's nothing objectionable i can think of . so parents . can be pretty confid...

Cranston ( Rod La Rocque ) is also a lawyer and an amateur criminologist , so his skills come in handy and he solves the m...

this was a disappointing movie for me . the previews made it look good ( as they usually do ) so i had high hopes for it . sadly though , this thing is mostly boring , and slow . and way too long . not much of excitement happens , and a lot of things are not fully explained , so they don't quite make sense . or maybe i...

this movie is a so so crime drama . i mean it's not really awful , but it is awfully slow and not really memorable . this movie has been done before , it just had a different title with ( maybe ) different actors , and the same characters but with different names . Wesley Snipes is Jimmy Mercer , an undercover treasury...

after watching this movie , i was a bit disappointed . i mean , the movie was OK , but it doesn't compare to the book , which i found riveting . the movie is set During WWII , and is basically about the British code breakers who were continually trying to break the code of the Enigma machine , which is how the Germans ...

a pale imitation of it's predecessor
unfortunately , this second live action film is a pale imitation of its predecessor . it's a lot slower , and the story feels contrived . it almost seems like filler to me . there are a few comic moments , though not as many as its predecessor . i think they should have left it at the first one , 101 Dalmatians .

mild Disney flick
and i do mean mild . this movie reminded me , in a lot of ways , of the 1960's show Lost in Space . the acting was similar , the characters seemed similar , the special effects seemed similar . the dialogue was pretty bad at times . or at least i thought it was . the one really good effect was the black hole itself . i...

running scared is non-stop action from the get go . it is entertaining , but seemed to be missing something , though i can't say what . this movie did not really distinguish itself from others of the genre . there is nothing new here , and maybe that's what's missing . the movie could have benefited if there had been a...

it took awhile for me to get into this movie . but somewhere along the line , i actually started to enjoy myself . once you get around the wafer thin plot , it's not half bad . the trick with this movie is to not take it too seriously . for instance , as soon as the bad guys show up , you know they're bad long before t...

not my cup of tea ( )
this film has the ' based on true events ' tag . i guess things could have happened the way they were shown in the movie , but i'm guessing it would be rare . it's basically about two people who are left behind in the ocean after their dive tour boat accidentally leaves without them . that's the gist of the story . the...
