mystery / western
this is a pretty good western . but it's not just a western . it's also a mystery . actually it's probably more of a mystery than a western . it's short clocking in at around 65 minutes , but it's a pretty good movie . it stars Randolph Scott , Anne Sheridan , Kathleen Burke , Florence Roberts , Howard Wilson , Charles...

doesn't hold a candle to the John Ford / John Wayne original
this is ( a far as i can tell ) the third version of the classic movie first directed in 1939 by John Ford and starring John Wayne . i haven't seen the second film ( 1966 ) so i can't comment on that one . this 1986 version though , i can comment on . in my mind , it doesn't come near to the original , which is a class...

no better or worse than the second installment ( entertaining enough )
at first , it looked like this movie was going down the crapper and quickly . somehow , though , it turns out not too bad . unlike , number two , which isn't really a sequel , this one is . the main character returns , and learns more lessons . i liked the training montages . to me , they were better than the ones in t...

the first in the Man With No Name trilogy
it took me awhile to get around to watching this movie , which is considered a classic by a lot of people . it was a bit too sedate for my tastes , although it wasn't a horrible movie and it probably bears viewing at least twice . it's the first of three movies in the Man With no Name trilogy , directed by Sergio Leone...

this is an odd movie , to say the least . it's billed as a horror movie , though there isn't really much horror . there is a bit of suspense and tension . and the disgust factor is pretty high here . this movie isn't for the faint of heart or weak of stomach . i guess you'd call it a black comedy and i like the setting...

considering this movie is directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Tom Cruise , it should be a great movie . but it's not . it's based on a short story by Philip K .

inspired by true events
this movie had a kind of ' movie of the week ' feel to . i don't mean that in a bad way . it is a very touching and heartbreaking movie , so you might want to have some Kleenex handy . it's the story of some kids from Texas who are caught in a flash flood on their way home from bible camp . the story is more personal ,...

entertaining werewolf movie
just watched silver bullet and i enjoyed it . it was entertaining and well paced , though not particularly scary . the music was quite ominous and suited the movie well . most of the characters were two dimensional at best , but the actors did a good job with what they were given . i didn't feel much emotional investme...

entertaining , but missing something ( )
i kinda liked this offering from Guillermo Del Toro . it's a sort of science fiction action adventure hybrid , with some humour thrown in . there's a great mix of oddball characters , some good stunts , and the look of the film is fantastic . the movie also has a great assortment of weird creatures . yet i came away fe...

a bit better than the 1st one
as a sequel , this is not a bad movie . i actually liked it better than the 1st one . i found it more entertaining . it seemed like it was shot documentary style . at first this bothered me , as i thought it just looked too low budget . but it grew on me , and it made the movie seem more authentic . this movie has more...

OK , but loses its focus at times ( )
for the most pat , this documentary is pretty decent viewing . it's mainly about the German juggernaut war ship Bismark and it's sinking . it gives a bit of a brief history of the ship . the some battle scenes are shown , many computer animated . the ship is shown as it sinks int the water under a barrage of British fi...

decent animated movie , for the most part
right off the bat , i have to say that this film is not half bad . there's plenty of action , lots of explosions and some decent villains . if you are a fan of the comic book , you might not like it , because as far as i know , it is not that faithful an adaptation . also , the origin of Iron Man as told in this movie ...

entertaining and tension filled
this was a pretty entertaining movie . i thought it was well paced , even the dramatic scenes . it's set during the cold war , when The Soviet Union and the U . S had high tensions between them . Clint Eastwood is good as a former American fighter pilot who still has flashbacks from Vietnam and hasn't flown for years ....

epic 1930 Western
Cimarron traces the early history of Oklahoma , starting with the land rush in 1899 . from there it spans forty years in the development of that land into an eventual American state and the advances of technology that came with it . the story itself is an epic tale , so its focus is pretty broad . this sort of makes it...

the lesser of the three , but still good
of the three law and Order shows , this is my least favourite . it's much slower than both of the other ones . there isn't ' usually a lot of action . there's a lot more dialogue in this one , and the dialogue is usually pretty well written . i like the banter back and forth between the main characters . also , there i...

Jackie Chan's acrobatic , over the top cartoonish martial arts moves are funny . Chris Tucker's motor mouth character is pre...

unseen beast goes on killing spree in 1776 France ( the story may have a kernel or two of truth to it )
this movie may or may not have been inspired by real events . if it was , i'm sure a lot was changed for dramatic effect . it take place in France during the reign of King Louis XV in 1776 . it chronicles the hunt for a an unseen and unknown beast that has responsible for many deaths and has paralyzed the citizens with...

i have to say , i thought this movie was way better than the first one . i felt the there were more action sequences , and they were better done . i also thought this one was more fun . even though most of cast returned from the first one , i felt the acting was better here . maybe the 3 year wait between films really ...

i liked it ,
but not because it is funny . it isn't funny . but it is immensely entertaining . Sarah Silverman is a very talented story teller . most of the show is Sarah Doing stand up comedy , and most of it improv , i think . i also like how Sarah just flies by the seat of her pants , ( or at least appears to ) coming up with st...

light hearted teen sex romp circa 1956 , in small town U . S .
as teen sex comedies go , this one has a lot going for it . it is well written , good characterizations , humorous situations and a great 1950's soundtrack . as well , the actors were credible and the depiction of small town , Ohio , in 1956 seemed authentic . the humour wasn't so much the laugh out loud bust a gut var...

very powerful , moving , heart wrenching drama that is worth watching if you stick with it
i really wanted to hate this movie . in fact , i considered shutting it off more than a few times . the first thought i had was " talk about some fd up , moronic , dimwitted imbeciles . that seems to describe many of the characters in the movie . other than that we have a real a-hole , a woman who cares about nothing e...

not bad , but not as good as the original
in many ways , i thought this movie was not as good as the 1st . yes , it is truer to the animated show in many respects . in fact , id say it is too true to the cartoon . in this case , the cartoon does not translate too well into live action . in the 1st , they veered away from the cartoon quite a bit and that worked...

this movie was certainly entertaining , although it felt a bit incomplete somehow . it is certainly not a movie you would call epic , by any means . it is much more low key than your typical blockbuster movie , i . e the Spider Man or X-Men series . i believe the filmmakers were going for blockbuster status , but the f...

in my mind , this sequel to the original " When a Stranger Calls " ( 1979 ) is actually a better movie . i thought the story was better , with a better , much creepier and more intelligent villain . Carol Kane reprises her role from the original , and i actually thought she did a convincing job in this 1 . i think that...
