473,495 | 11,423,174 | 105,156 | 6 | not bad , has its moments | i guess this movie is OK . it has a few good moments , but it's generally pretty slow . it is watchable for sure , but given the premise i thought they could have developed the story and the characters more . for me , the villain in the movie is a bit weak , which is something i really wish they had worked on a bit mor... |
473,380 | 11,423,174 | 248,667 | 6 | a career performance by Will Smith ( too bad the movie is sub standard ) | this film about Muhammad Ali is a disappointing effort . it's over long , boring at times and lacking much intensity . the movie is all flash and no substance . Will Smith though is very brilliant in the title role . he inhabits Ali's body and soul . the problem is , the movie is not worthy of his huge talent . it does... |
473,324 | 11,423,174 | 102,984 | 6 | Much better than i thought it would be ( worth the 2 hours ) | this is a surprisingly entertaining movie . it won't win any awards for originality . this plot line has been used several times , sometimes to better effect , sometimes not . as a matter of fact , Charlie Sheen would star in pretty much the same movie , Beyond the Law , one year later ( 1992 ) . both are comparable ef... |
472,960 | 11,423,174 | 97,647 | 6 | weakest of the original trilogy | this movie is hands down , the worst of the original 3 . the writing is seriously lacking in this one . the story is weak an not compelling . the protagonist is weaker than the previous 2 , by a mile . this whole movie is anticlimactic . very little happens over the course of the film . Basically , Kreese , from the or... |
473,092 | 11,423,174 | 105,179 | 6 | the most eerie and suspenseful of the four | to me , this movie is the best of the four . it's the most suspenseful and creepy . the story has a mostly religious bent to it , and of course there is the Latin chanting which comes with these movies . for me , i find that very eerie , to say the least . the music is quite eerie , as well . the suspense in this movie... |
472,869 | 11,423,174 | 47,795 | 6 | better viewed when not sleep deprived ( as i was ) | i just finished watching this movie ( sort of ) and it just failed to hold my interest for more than few moments at time . to be fair though , i hadn't slept all night , so might have influenced things . i did however get the bulk of the story , which in nutshell , involves Abott and Costello meeting a Mummy in Egypt .... |
473,751 | 11,423,174 | 73,760 | 6 | absurd , and fun | i liked this movie . it's typical Disney silliness of that era , but it is fun and goofy , even absurd . there's a lot of overacting , but so what . this was supposedly a Kurt Russel vehicle , but it's really an ensemble cast . i liked Caesar Romero the most though . the story is simple . a college student discover a s... |
473,039 | 11,423,174 | 819,129 | 6 | entertaining TV movie as good as some of the Hollywood drivel which passes as entertainment | as made for TV movies go , this one is not bad . not great , but not bad . to be honest , i don't mind most TV movies . true , they are very predictable , and most so called plot twists can be figured out by a 3 year old . having said , they can be entertaining . that pretty much describes " Thrill of the Kill " . here... |
473,478 | 11,423,174 | 93,300 | 6 | wafer thin premise , but much better than # 3 | this is the fourth and final installment in the " Jaws " franchise . this movie is not as bad as the third one . in fact it is much better . the only problem with this movie is its wafer thin premise . you really have to suspend your belief for this one . not that you didn't need to for the third one , but this one tak... |
472,655 | 11,423,174 | 433,383 | 6 | Edward . R Murrow vs senator Joseph McCarthy | i just watched good night , and good luck , which is about CBS newsman Edward R . Murrow and his fight against senator Joseph McCarthy , a junior senator from Wisconsin , during the 1950's . this was a time of hysteria regarding communists and communist sympathizers in America and anyone else who may have had dealings ... |
473,589 | 11,423,174 | 318,649 | 6 | lite mindless , entertaining fare | i didn't mind this movie . it's pretty lite fare , but enjoyable . the movie is based on a novel by Clive Cussler and centers around thrill seeking adventurer Dirk Pitt ( Matthew McConaughey ) and his travelling companion ( Steve Zahn ) . the duo find themselves in over their heads and trying to avoid being killed by e... |
473,060 | 11,423,174 | 212,235 | 6 | one of the more entertaining teen / horror spoofs | my personal feeling is that this movie is better than any of the Scary Movie Films . i found it more relevant and clever . it is better paced , with no real spots that lag . the jokes do fly literally about every few seconds . i woudn't say it is funny , but there are some very amusing moments . i particularly liked th... |
473,806 | 11,423,174 | 279,573 | 6 | from the people who brought you The F . B . I . Files | from the same people who brought you The F . B . I . Files comes this series about the high tech aspects of solving crime ( such as the use of DNA and fingerprinting ) as well as forensic anthropology and psychological profiling . for me , this series is much slower than the F . BI . Files and less interesting . it is ... |
472,568 | 11,423,174 | 66,194 | 6 | good sequel | this sequel to the original movie was a bit better , i thought . the story was more interesting , and there were more funny moments . there is less action than the first one , but that didn't make much difference to me . the same characters are back . ( Nash Crawford ) Walter Brennan , ( Jason Fitch ) Edgar Buchanan , ... |
473,100 | 11,423,174 | 45,815 | 6 | some entertaining song and dance numbers , but virtually no story | this is pure musical , with virtually no story , but it's actually pretty fun . there are some pretty entertaining songs and dance numbers . some of the songs , though , i felt were a bit overdone . if you're not in to musicals , you might want to skip this one . if you're a musical fan , you might like it . the charac... |
473,857 | 11,423,174 | 78,295 | 6 | John Carpenter's third film | while i admit there is lots of tension in this movie , it's almost too much . the problem i found is that ( to me at least ) the movie keeps building to a climax which is less exciting than the rest of the movie . there is one pretty thrilling moment in the movie , but for me , that's about it . this is by no means a b... |
472,912 | 11,423,174 | 422,774 | 6 | a bit funnier than Are We There yet ? | i thought this sequel to Are We There Yet was pretty good . it's a bit funnier . it's based on the classic movie Mr . Blandings builds his dream House , but it also has a lot of the Money Pit thrown in . John C . McGinley is very funny in his role . i don't want to say what that role is , because that would be spoiling... |
473,540 | 11,423,174 | 780,583 | 6 | zombie free for all ! | this is one of the gorier zombie flicks i have seen in a while . it takes awhile to get to that point , though . once it does , it basically becomes barely controlled chaos , mayhem and carnage . this is not a big budget movie by any stretch , but i think it's played as camp , more than anything , so the low budget doe... |
472,744 | 11,423,174 | 118,688 | 6 | campy but funny at times . probably won't leave much of an impact after watching though | i suppose you could say this movie is the low point in the franchise . i mean , while watching the movie i kept thinking it was basically a two hour movie of the 1960's camp classic classic with Adam west and Burt Ward . i found it hard to take the movie very seriously , considering there were so many one liners , most... |
472,814 | 11,423,174 | 93,409 | 6 | Mel Gibson and Danny Glover team up | i thought this movie was not bad . it teams Mel Gibson and Danny Glover together as two cops who couldn't be more different , and end up partnering with each other . both hate having partners . Martin Riggs ( Gibson ) is a loose cannon who likes to bend the roles , and who just might be suicidal and / or homicidal . Ro... |
473,042 | 11,423,174 | 112,641 | 6 | Nowhere near as good as it reputation ( but entertaining , nonetheless ) | well , i finally got around to watching Martin Scorsese's " Casino " tyhis one has some big names , but to be honest the only standout performance was by Sharon Stone " she runs the gamut of emotions in this one . i won't give any of it away , however . The rest of the actors are okay in their respective roles . Joe Pe... |
473,208 | 11,423,174 | 80,130 | 6 | fairly decent horror / suspense | the last time i watched this movie , i didn't care for it at all . this time , however , i actually didn't think it was too bad . it's kind of slow at times , and a bit drawn out . i think they also reveal too much , leaving less to the imagination . i also think Carol Kane seems too old to be the teenage babysitter , ... |

473,051 | 11,423,174 | 110,725 | 6 | entertaining , though typical Seagal fare | this is typical Steven Seagal fare . it's really just an excuse for Seagal to show how good he is in beating people up . there is , naturally , a great deal of action , and lots of fight scenes . problem is , the fight scenes are nothing we haven't seen before . there are a lot of fancy camera tricks , but so what ? th... |
473,207 | 11,423,174 | 41,866 | 6 | the second film in John Ford's Cavalry " trilogy " | i was a bit disappointed in this movie . for me , it is not as good as Fort Apache , the first film in John Ford's Cavalry " trilogy " . i still liked it , but i thought it was a bit slow at times , and it doesn't have a lot of action . plus , i would have preferred if John Wayne's character Captain Nathan Brittles had... |

473,764 | 11,423,174 | 83,907 | 6 | works well for what it is | A while back , i did review of Evil Dead 2 , which called absolute garbage . well , i stand by that review . however , it is only fair to give a review of its predecessor , so here goes . " Evil Dead " is a pretty decent movie , offering up some genuine chills . one particularly effective scene involved one of the fema... |
473,057 | 11,423,174 | 105,428 | 6 | not spectacular , but entertaining | this Stephen King adaptation was entertaining but not great , by any means . it's worthwhile to pass time . it''s probably as weird as any of the King adaptation i have , and even weirder than others . this movie sort of felt like a fairy tale to me . although not a kid's fable , obviously . i did like the cast , many ... |
473,307 | 11,423,174 | 85,811 | 6 | a decent sword and sorcery / fantasy film | while this is not the best film of the sword and sorcery / fantasy genre , i did like it . i found it fast paced , and never boring . yet strangely , i never really found it exciting either . and there were some things about it i found absurd . many people will find the special effects quite quaint by today's standards... |
473,313 | 11,423,174 | 105,414 | 6 | decent thriller | although this is a fairly decent psychological suspense thriller , it is predictable at times and a bit of reach in some scenes . still , anyone who's ever had a roommate who is even slightly unbalanced or worse can relate .

473,453 | 11,423,174 | 106,689 | 6 | strong on realism , just a bit too slow at times | i sort of liked this movie . it's about a crack team of government agents who must stop a madman who has hijacked a freight train and holds some of the crew hostage . complicating matters is that there is a nuclear bomb on board . that sounds like many other movies . and it is true , the premise is very familiar . the ... |
472,737 | 11,423,174 | 151,582 | 6 | weird | this is one odd movie , and i don't mean that in a bad way . it's basically about drifter ( Owen Wilson ) who's a serial killer . the difference is he poisons his victims . the interesting thing is , it's hard to pin down what his motive is . the movie might have explained it , but the movie is so subtle , it's hard to... |
472,626 | 11,423,174 | 1,174,954 | 6 | could have been better | this is the third movie i've watched today , and like the other two ( Bangkok Dangerous , and Traitor ) i find myself disappointed . this is the first CG animated full length Resident Evil film . i found the animation lacking . the character movements are jerky and the facial movements don't sync up with the body langu... |

472,525 | 11,423,174 | 348,150 | 6 | a bit of a letdown | considering the hype for this movie , i thought it would be better than it was . it wasn't a horrible movie , but i don't think it lived up to the Superman name . Brandon Routh as Superman , looked a lot like Christopher Reeve , maybe a bit too much . his mannerisms were also too much like Reeve , as if he were trying ... |

473,252 | 11,423,174 | 99,044 | 6 | not as good as the original but still pretty decent | this sequel to 48 Hours has a much darker tone than the original . it's more violent , with probably even more very strong language . there is a bit less comedy , but the comic bits are a bit funnier than in the first one . the action is thorough the roof in this one . it's much more exciting . i liked the storyline mo... |

472,676 | 11,423,174 | 63,350 | 6 | better than the 1990 version | i finally had a chance to see this movie . it is hailed by many as a classic . while i can kind of see how that might be the case , i feel a bit letdown . when this movie came out , it was brutally shocking and innovative , but not so much today . it isn't a poorly made movie . in fact it is quite well made . the fact ... |
472,572 | 11,423,174 | 166,943 | 6 | similar to Mr . Holland's Opus , but not as good | this movie based on a true story Stars Meryl Streep as a music teacher who changes the lives of inner city students . it's in the same vein as Mr .

473,368 | 11,423,174 | 33,021 | 6 | Santa Fe Trail | this isn't really a western , although it does take place during the same era which encompasses the genre . it's more of an action / adventure , with some drama and romance thrown . it takes place 6 or 7 years before the civil war , and details the events leading up to it , or at least this movie's version of it . it s... |

472,855 | 11,423,174 | 80,761 | 6 | great musical score | i have no doubt that if i had seen this when it first came out in 1980 , it would have scared the crap out of me . in the present day though , i didn't find it scary , mainly because i have seen so many horror / slasher movies since then . this movie is hardly graphic or shocking at all compare to today's feature film ... |
473,796 | 11,423,174 | 60,862 | 6 | not bad , though i found it slow at times | this western tells the story of four men , each a specialist in a different field , hired to rescue a woman kidnapped by a Mexican revolutionary . of course it's not quite as straightforward as that , and things don't quite go the way they should . it stars Lee Marvin , Burt Lancaster , Ralph Bellamy and Jack Palance ,... |
473,418 | 11,423,174 | 80,738 | 6 | above average crime drama | int his police drama , Frank Sinatra plays a police detective just weeks from retirement , trying to solve a string of murders and stop the murder from killing again . there's another little subplot thrown in that has nothing to do with the rest of the movie , but is merely added to make the film more interesting drama... |
472,940 | 11,423,174 | 144,814 | 6 | almost comparable to the original | is The Rage : Carrie 2 a worth successor to the original Carrie ? hard to say . it has its moments , or rather " moment " . the problem is , that moment does not occur until the end of the movie . much of the movie comes off looking like your typical teen movie . by that i mean it has all the stereotypical caricatures ... |
472,734 | 11,423,174 | 109,370 | 6 | American president starts cold war with Canada to boost popularity ratings | this movie started out good . the premise is funny and original . there are some very funny scenes . but about halfway through it loses steam . maybe it's because the novelty wore off and the jokes were no longer funny . Michael Moore directed this film and has a good cast to work with , including Alan Alda , Kevin Pol... |
473,461 | 11,423,174 | 96,073 | 6 | another " end of the world " movie , but nothing new or compelling . | ho-hum . another one of those " all signs point to the end of the world movies " . as these types of movie go , this film is much too lacking in substance to be compelling viewing . think " the Omen " ( the original ) lite . very lite . there are a few variations on the theme , true , but the movie fails to make a last... |

472,844 | 11,423,174 | 160,009 | 6 | fairly intelligent political thriller | this political thriller isn't too bad . it's not really fast paced paced , and there is some predictability to it . but it should have enough twists and turns to keep you guessing . it's also a fairly intelligent movie . it's also compelling enough to maintain interest . at least i thought so . i also found it more sty... |
472,852 | 11,423,174 | 87,298 | 6 | great ending ( ) | this fourth entry in the series is actually not too bad . i liked it a bit better than the other 3 , mainly because of the ending , which was pretty climactic , unlike many movies . plus , it was better paced . this one features a 12 year old Corey Feldman , but i still liked it . it pretty much follows the familiar fo... |
472,858 | 11,423,174 | 286,716 | 6 | ang lee's thoughtful , touching , dramatic take on the hulk | the first time i watched ang lee's hulk , i didn't like it that much . i found it boring and it took way to long to get to the action scenes . then , a few year later , i decide to give it another chance . boy , i'm glad i did . this time around , i enjoyed the movie . going into the movie the first time , the only thi... |
473,686 | 11,423,174 | 488,120 | 6 | check out Primal Fear by the same director | i think this was billed as a legal thriller . trouble is , it's not really thrilling . it sort of plods along to the inevitable end . plus , in my opinion , Anthony Hopkins ( the bad guy ) , appears to be doing a lighter variation of Hannibal Lector . i also felt Ryan Gosling , as the main good guy , was a bit too youn... |
472,634 | 11,423,174 | 299,854 | 6 | a revenge drama more than anything , | and i do mean drama . this is not an action packed movie . the emphasis is definitely on the drama . it's all about the trouble a man goes to to get revenge on a guy who killed his wife . it takes quite awhile to get there , and when it does , it's almost not worth it , at least in my opinion . i don't mind if a movie ... |
473,783 | 11,423,174 | 100,507 | 6 | the weakest of the series ( but still watchable ) | i haven't seen the new Rocky movie , Rocky Balboa , so i can't comment on that . but of the first 5 movies , this is the weakest . they should have stopped at 4 . the movie is watchable , it's just not up to par with its prequels . it is definitely smaller scale all around . this is obviously deliberate and it certainl... |
473,844 | 11,423,174 | 97,815 | 6 | entertaining and amusing , though not insanely funny baseball movie | i thought this was a pretty good movie . it wasn't insanely funny or anything , but it had some amusing moments and was certainly entertaining . what i liked about this movie is is the fact that , although it's an underdog story , it is not preachy and schmaltzy . there's very little rah , rah , rah , everyone's a winn... |
473,886 | 11,423,174 | 452,637 | 6 | well , that was weird | Lady in the Water is the latest movie from M . Night Shyamalan , and it is a weird one . i could make little sense of it , and there seemed to be some gaping plot holes . to me , it seemed to be a philosophy lesson at times , which is good if you want a philosophy lesson , but i didn't . add to that , to me there was a... |
472,569 | 11,423,174 | 64,780 | 6 | may big names stars of Westerns ( and other genres ) past | this is a pretty decent western with some good comic moments . it features many famous names of the genre , such as Walter Brennan , Jack Elam , Edgar Buchanan , Gypsy Lee Rose , Pat O'Brien and Ricky Nelson . all had previously been in earlier westerns and here were in the twilight of their careers . i won't give away... |
473,272 | 11,423,174 | 307,479 | 6 | poor ending lowers the rating on this movie | part philosophy , alternate reality , God . human existence . this movie seems to ask a lot of questions . it is compelling for most of it's running time , although it i found it quite deep , with very little action . I also thought George Clooney took awhile to grow into his character . at 1st , i didn't find him conv... |
473,897 | 11,423,174 | 87,262 | 6 | decent science fiction thriller | i thought this was an entertaining movie . it wasn't spectacular , by any means , but i've seen way worse . Drew Barrymore shows some acting ability at a young age . i think she was around 8 when this was made . the rest of the acting was decent enough for the most part . i did think that George C . Scott seemed out of... |
472,776 | 11,423,174 | 107,084 | 6 | decent little mystery , but not spectacular | i though this was a decent little movie . it's about a writer who is sent to Mexico for inspiration , to wrote the next big story , which will hopefully be made into a movie . while in Mexico , he wakes up one morning to find one of his kidneys missing . he then discovers they want his second kidney . i didn't find thi... |
473,124 | 11,423,174 | 14,532 | 6 | not bad for a silent movie made in 1923 | this is the first film version of The Ten Commandments . it is directed by Cecil B . Demille , who also directed the 1956 version . this version is very lean , going through the events of that time , very quickly . in 50 minutes , in fact . i'm guessing they just kept the essentials of the story , without anything extr... |
472,851 | 11,423,174 | 89,173 | 6 | part 5 ( ) | this fifth entry in the series has an interesting twist that is hinted subtly ( or maybe not subtly ) a few times throughout the movie . i liked the ending to part 4 : The Final Chapter , but i liked this ending even more . otherwise , there's not much straying from the familiar formula mined in the last 4 . masked psy... |
473,695 | 11,423,174 | 95,956 | 6 | too much philosophizing and preaching for the first 60 minutes | i was disappointed in this installment of the Rambo series . i found it slow going for the first hour , plus it was too philosophical and preachy for my tastes . however , the last 40 minutes are pretty much wall to wall action . realism gets thrown out the window , though . i mean how much can one guy do , especially ... |
473,355 | 11,423,174 | 463,953 | 6 | The Cutting Edge lite | i just watched this movie last night . i had fairly high hopes , although i knew it wouldn't outdo the original . this one is really a rehash of the original , but with different characters . This time around , it's Jackie Dorsie ( son of Kate Mosely , now Mosely-Dorsey and Doug Dorsey , from the original ) . Moira Kel... |
472,601 | 11,423,174 | 98,382 | 6 | not as bad as people say | i don't get it . people say this is the worst Star Trek movie of them all . i'm not sure i agree . i kinda liked it . i know it's not action packed to say the least , and the plot may be unusual , but so what . i found this movie to have a fair amount of humour in it , not as much as the fourth installment , but some .... |
473,666 | 11,423,174 | 305,396 | 6 | basically an extension of the Crocodile Hunter series | this is basically just an extension of the Crocodile Hunter TV series . it has it's amusing moments , and is entertaining enough , but it's not much more than a fluff piece . the plot is pretty weak , and most of the characters have no depth or development . most of the movie seems like just a showcase for Irwin's anti... |
473,011 | 11,423,174 | 57,129 | 6 | has some real chills , but could have been shorter | while i thought the haunting was a good movie , i didn't think it was great . it does have some genuine chills , and is very atmospheric . the music certainly elevates the suspense factor . i did like the odd mix of characters , two of which were downright creepy . i thought the movie was too long and protracted though... |
472,641 | 11,423,174 | 212,513 | 6 | very deliberately paced , but ultimately worth it | i admit , this is a very deliberately paced movie . just when you decide to turn it off from boredom , the movie drops you a tantalizing clue or two . just enough to keep you watching . this movie is all about the drama and the acting . it is very low key and the acting is good . the movie is a psychological suspense m... |
473,549 | 11,423,174 | 175,142 | 6 | a few very funny moments , but not enough ( ) | i remember watching this movie when it first came out , and thinking it was a scream . but , after just watching it again today , i have a different opinion . sure , there are a few very funny parts , but for the most part , i just found the movie silly . it definitely is not for anyone easily offended , that's for sur... |
473,734 | 11,423,174 | 76,630 | 6 | similar to " deliverance " but i don't think it's quite as good | this is not a bad movie . it's sort of like " Deliverance " . 5 friends go on a backwoods trip together . they are each doctors or former doctors . anyway , as the film progresses , things start to happen to the group . small things at 1st , than things get serious . the group realizes they are being stalked and terror... |
473,278 | 11,423,174 | 402,901 | 6 | standard action adventure movie | the " cave " cannot be classified as a horror movie , since it is not horrifying . it is standard fare action adventure that uses music to try to manufacture suspense , but does not deliver . one problem is that the creatures were revealed much too soon , thereby eliminating a possible avenue of suspense . and once the... |
473,631 | 11,423,174 | 349,205 | 6 | not bad at all , some very funny moments | this movie isn't too bad . there are a couple of very funny moments in the movie . i also liked the energy level of the film . it was very high . the movie is entertaining for the most part . the only things i didn't like , is that thought Steve Martin over exaggerated his expressions and action in some of the physical... |
472,914 | 11,423,174 | 452,766 | 6 | it's not the worst B movie i've seen | this is one sick and twisted movie . there isn't a lot of gore , but what gore there is , is pretty extreme . i also thought there was some continuity problems . some of the scenes don't seem to have any context , so it is hard to follow . it's a B movie , for sure , but , despite its problems , i thought it was OK . i... |
472,817 | 11,423,174 | 133,093 | 6 | not sure what all the hype is about . | i'm not sure what the big deal is about this movie . i mean , it borrows heavily from other sources , such as the bible and Star Wars , among others . the gist of the story is that the world people see around them is isn't real . it's actually a construct made by machines . Humanity is actually enslaved by the machines... |
