382,692 | 449,021 | 486,020 | 3 | A Polish western . A bit strange . | This is said to be the first Polish western and is written and directed by Piotr Uklanski . Known in the U . S . as DEAD MAN'S BOUNTY , this film uses some strange visuals to tell a story that is short on dialog . Val Kilmer plays a corpse and some scenes are through his dead eyes . Some awkward visual situations are actually comical in a sick way . My favorite is a young man building a gallows chops off one of his own fingers and actually hangs himself testing the strength of the rope . A cowboy known only as ' the stranger ' ( Karel Roden ) finds a dead man ( Kilmer ) that he thinks is a wanted man . He takes him to the nearest town to collect the bounty . He ends up losing the corpse and the potential bounty in a gambling game with the town's drunken sheriff ( Boguslaw Linda ) and has the few townsmen turned against him when he has a dalliance with the barmaid ( Katarzyna Figura ) . He manages to escape sure death and leads the small posse on a dangerous ' wild goose chase ' . One scene has the stranger tending to a scalp wound by cauterizing with gunpowder and a match . The corpse rots chained to a hitching post as the sheriff finds out that there is no bounty to be had . This movie also known as SUMMER LOVE has a haunting theme song sung by John Davidson . Nevertheless this western is like watching a train wreck . There is just something that tells you not to look . . . but you do . |
382,284 | 449,021 | 382,011 | 3 | The living dead rise from the lake . | This films suffers lack of budget and talent . Still GHOST LAKE is worth watching . . . especially on a rainy night . After the death of her parents , Rebecca ( Tatum Adair ) tries to escape her misery by taking off to the hopeful solace of their old lake house . Instead , she stumbles upon a curse that puts her own sanity to the test . Over a hundred years ago the local residents were drowned when a dam was built to create Rushford Lake . It seems that about every thirteen years a tragic accident occurs on or near the lake and the victims are never found . It seems now that those lost souls are restless and rise from the lake to bring more company to the bottom of " Ghost Lake " . Written and directed by Jay Woelfel , GHOST LAKE is mildly eerie . . . especially when fog covers the lake . There is brief nudity that will get your attention . Also in the cast are : Timothy Prindle , Gregory Lee Kenyon and Azure Skye Decker . |
383,226 | 449,021 | 65,669 | 3 | Skeletons in the closet and a strange bloodline . | Daniel Haller directs this adaption of a H . P . Lovecraft story . A young warlock ( Dean Stockwell ) steals a one-of-a-kind book of spells and is determined to conjure up a way to bring back a society of witches and warlocks to earth . A strange and sometimes boring story to follow . The background score by Les Baxter is haunting and keeps the movie drudging along . Also in the cast are Sandra Dee , Sam Jaffe and Ed Begley . I expected more . |
384,001 | 449,021 | 435,665 | 3 | Campus of the dead . | So lame it isn't even funny . A zombie infection overtakes a small college campus and a government squad of secret operatives back up a couple of scientists sent to find the origin of the outbreak . Collecting zombie DNA damn sure is not easy . Once bitten you're one of " them " . The entire university has been completely infected by the run amok undead . This sequel does not even redeem the awful original HOUSE OF THE DEAD ( 2003 ) . Senseless entertainment is accomplished though . A few glimpses of female nakedness added to a gaggle of gore and exploding heads should keep any zombie freak happy . Credited cast members : Emmanuelle Vaugier , Victoria Pratt , Ed Quinn , Sid Haig and Nadine Velazquez . The " F " word holds together an unimaginative script . |
383,620 | 449,021 | 404,552 | 3 | Sex . . . enjoyed , sold and borrowed . | YO PUTA aka WHORE is fusion of fact and fiction in a semi-documentary style as a young woman ( Daryl Hannah ) schedules interviews in completing her book exploring the secrets of the oldest profession in the world . . . sex . European ' escorts ' , pimps and johns discuss the pros and cons of prostitution ; some with pride and others with frank regret . The sex trade can stupefy and titillate with a thin line separating pleasure from pain . It is a means of gaining independence , but at the same time put a high price on the cost of human self worth . Denise Richards is cast as student working on an anthropology PH . D . and considering prostitution as a way to pay the bills ; being a virgin proves to get in the way . Strong sexual content and some nudity equal an R rating ; but a large percent of the film is subtitled and may sustain flaccidity . |
383,046 | 449,021 | 364,751 | 3 | Stupidity rides the river . I | Its more like up a s^t creek without a paddle . Dumb , dumb , dumb . After the funeral of a friend , three " city boys " decide to honor a childhood promise and take a trip on river in Oregon . This little camping expedition will enable them to search for the lost D . B . Cooper loot . The will some how survive outrageous encounters with animals and wild , woodsy mountain men . The three will end up close to naked when befriended by a woodsy hermit played by Burt Reynolds . Plenty of sexual reference and crude humor . The scenery is more impressive than the cast that includes : Matthew Lillard , Seth Green , Dax Shepard , Nadine Bernecker and Bonnie Somerville . |
382,043 | 449,021 | 43,272 | 3 | Even a law abiding family can spawn a criminal . | The subject of much folk lore and legend in the beginnings of Oklahoma statehood . Al Jennings brings shame and disappointment to his family by becoming an angry bank robber . After serving his sentence , he tries to walk the straight and narrow ; and by studying the law , gains respect and becomes a footnote in the history of Oklahoma . Sporadic action and distorted story inspired by truth . Cast includes : Dan Duryea , Dick Foran , James Millican , Gale Storm and Raymond Greenleaf . |
382,507 | 449,021 | 810,823 | 3 | It's like watching the same train wreck again . | At times you forget this is a low-budget film ; the acting is forgettable and story line is monotonous . A young heart-throb Ian Stone ( Mike Vogel ) finds himself encountering an unearthly creature that forces him into the path of a speeding train . Thoughts of certain death is obvious ; Ian finds himself reborn into a new and different life . After his second death , he realizes that he is being stalked by a very evil presence that forces him to die every day until he can solve the mystery of his own life . His life isn't exactly repeated ; his existence seems to be in perpetual stutter . Wake up and be murdered again and again . Also in the cast : the fetching Jaime Murray , Christina Cole , Anthony Warren and Michael Feast . Could easily be rated W for why did I watch this to the end . |
384,442 | 449,021 | 56,983 | 3 | Pretense is not acceptable . | If for only one reason to watch ; Francis Ford Coppola writes and directs under the watchful eye of producer Roger Corman . Louis Haloran ( Luana Anders ) watches her husband's fatal heart attack and begins to cover up his death in hopes of getting his share of an inheritance . This leads to a gathering of a very strange family in an Irish castle where an ax murderer runs amok . It is strange that the Irish family members do not speak with an Irish accent . And when Anders strips down to bra and panties and jumps into the lake . . . instead of her panties turning transparent , they turn to a dark color . ( This could have been the most exciting part of the film ) . Most if not all the violence is implied . The film has a rough and grainy feel complete with hokey music . Also in the cast are : William Campbell , Patrick Magee and Mary Mitchel . It is interesting though to see the beginnings of a career like that of Francis Ford Coppola . |
384,090 | 449,021 | 56,961 | 3 | A creepy find on the beach . | A spacecraft explodes and the doomed astronaut's dismembered hand and forearm are discovered on the beach by an ambitious science student . The body part is put in a food closet by the fruit jars ; it does not stay there for long . The ' crawling hand ' instigates randem stranglings . Cheesy Sci-Fi , but fun . Over acting cast includes : Peter Breck , Rod Lauren , Alan Hale Jr . and Sirry Steffen . |
383,645 | 449,021 | 47,127 | 3 | Bullets blaze and sirens howl . | Ed Wood Jr . tries Film-Noir with this little crime drama . Lyle Talbot plays Inspector Johns and Steve Reeves as Lt . Bob Lawrence close in on a young man ( Clancy Malone ) , the son of a prominent plastic surgeon ( Herbert Rawlinson ) , who after hanging with a small time criminal ( Timothy Farrell ) is wanted for murder . His sister ( Dolores Fuller ) has been his best support for so long and now there is nothing she can do . His father wants to protect him and does have the last say-so in the finale . Wood's lack of talent shows all over JAIL BAIT . By the way , the title is not about a young girl . . . but a gun . Talbot does the best with what is offered him . And yes , Reeves is the future Hercules . Fuller would would later have small parts in movies , but her biggest claim to any fame is for writing a handful of songs for Elvis Presley . |
384,303 | 449,021 | 52,846 | 3 | A big lizard in a tiny town . | This is one of my childhood favorites watched in tandem with THE KILLER SHREWS ( 1959 ) both being products of the Ray Kellogg / Ken Curtis team . A tiny Texas town is terrorized by a giant mutant Gila Monster . After a couple of teens disappear from lover's lane along with reports of farm animals missing , the local sheriff ( Fred Graham ) enlists the aid of teen hot-rodders to search for the missing . The leader ( Don Sullivan ) of the hotrod club attempts to sing a couple of songs before solving the problem with the giant slithering lizard . Also in the cast : Ken Knox , Lisa Simone and Shug Fisher as the funny town drunk . The music is pretty lame proving Sullivan is no rock ' n ' roller . Special effects are quite primitive , but this is still a hoot to watch after all these years . |
384,427 | 449,021 | 52,805 | 3 | Low budget sci-fi , but still interesting . | Rivalry between brothers leads to main story line . Navy Commander Chuck Prescott ( Marshall Thompson ) has developed the Y12 aircraft to test how far man can go up in the atmosphere . His brother , Lt . Dan Prescott ( Bill Edwards ) , seems to be the best test pilot around and is chosen to go up in the Y12 . Dan of course has a problem with taking orders and is also an over confident dare devil . On Dan's second flight , he hits over the 300 miles up comfort zone and his craft passes through a meteor dust storm . Returning to earth , Dan becomes a monster that resembles 200 pounds of bad asphalt . He also has a demanding craving for blood , whether it be from farm animals or fellow human beings . Short runtime of an hour and seventeen minutes ; black & white with near stoic acting . . . typical of low budget sci-fi . Rounding out the cast is Marla Landi , Robert Ayers and Carl Jaffe . Noteworthy trivia : about two months after this film was released ; the Russians put the real first man in space . |
384,438 | 449,021 | 117,882 | 3 | Is the perfect family just a dream ? | Don't expect much from this depressing look a teenage girl ( Hilary Swank ) that terrorizes and tears apart her disjunctive family by inflicting physical and emotional injury . Directed and written by Gregory Goodell , this made-for-TV drama is hard to hold interest in . Joanna Kerns plays the alcoholic mother and Dan Luria is the indifferent father with incestuous issues . Young son Adam Hendershott also turns to alcohol with plans to runaway like his big sister . The court has Swank temporarily live with her aunt ( Kathleen Wilhoite ) , who also has painful issues to deal with from childhood . Quite a mess and somewhat a drag . Not much fun to say the least . |
384,250 | 449,021 | 382,443 | 3 | From the darkest depths . . . danger ! | A team of researchers led by Captain Jack Griffin ( Billy Warlock ) and Professor Anna Davis ( Catherine Lough Haggquist ) answer a distress call from a top-secret oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico . The team is perplexed to find the remote drilling platform is much like a ghost ship . Searching for answers , crew members begin to disappear one-by-one . It comes apparent a mysterious creature bred beneath the ocean floor is hell-bent on survival . Danger is unimaginable and escape is dreadfully doubtful . Film quality is inconsistent and the CGI is interesting , but totally too noticeable for any fear factor . The old western fast draw gunfight is ridiculous . The lurking creature trying to strike terror actually seems impotent . The cast also features : Kurt Max Runte , Peter Graham Gaudreau , Kiara Hunter and Warren Christie . |
384,342 | 449,021 | 416,315 | 3 | Terrified backpackers in Australia . | One of the great horror film heavies of the last 25 years . says Quentin Tarantino . Hey , Quentin , sir . . . what in the hell would make you say that ? WOLF CREEK does have its moments , but doesn't have what it takes to be great . Three Australian friends take off on a drive to go hiking in the remote Wolf Creek National Park . After their car breaks down , help comes in the form of big and loud bushman mechanic Mick ( John Jarratt ) . The three have trouble really trusting Mick ; and it will prove to be one of the last things they ever do . Gruesome violence and piercing terror . The backpackers are played by Nathan Phillips , Cassandra Magrath and Kestie Morassi . |
381,974 | 449,021 | 78,350 | 3 | Be alert ! They not only hurt . . . they kill . Killer bees ! | An Irwin Allen disaster yarn about African killer bees swarming into Texas with a bee-line on Houston . Over acting , bad acting and wasted acting . Fear factor is mild . Ensemble cast includes : Michael Caine , Katherine Ross , Fred MacMurray , Lee Grant , Richard Widmark , Henry Fonda and Olivia de Haviland . Pretty much a waste of time . |
384,320 | 449,021 | 282,483 | 3 | Scottsville has a little secret . | Here we go again . Pretty predictable and no matter how cheesy this movie gets . . . something keeps you hanging in there for the finale . Is it the blood thirsty bats ? An unlikely detective ( Tracy Nelson ) teams with an animal control officer ( Whip Hubley ) to uncover the mystery behind a small town being terrorized by genetically-created bats . Nelson is so wrong for the role it is pathetic . Corbin Bersen and Nicole Clendenen are more than a tad over-the-top . Redeeming is the cute Katie Stuart . There is an interesting solution to jamming the bat's radar . If you expect horror . . . prepare for a headache from the negative shake of your head . |
382,376 | 449,021 | 95,989 | 3 | Better tomatoes for a new invasion . | A slightly larger budget allows for tomatoes to be turned into people . Professor Gangreen ( John Astin ) has finally developed the formula to make the once feared red vegetable to look human . And once again it is San Diego that will see the beginnings of a second invasion . A young pizza maker falls in love with a gorgeous girl working with Gangreen . Is she really a tomato ? Music will serve as a catalyst instead of a destroyer with this newer developed tomato . Citizens are reluctant to believe the ancient attack of the tomatoes will be repeated . This sequel is really easier to watch than the original ; thanks to a young George Clooney and a beautiful Karen Misal . Also in the cast : Steve Lundquist , Teri Weigel , Anthony Starke , Rock Peace and Charlie Jones . |
382,679 | 449,021 | 330,175 | 3 | It doesn't pay to mess with Mother Nature . | Emily Rasmussen ( Jena Malone ) is a young woman that cuts her college education short due to expecting an illegitimate child . She returns to her stepfather's ( Don Harvey ) sheep ranch . Almost immediately Emily realizes that the sheep are acting out of character . . . attacking each other and some dying after cutting their throats on barb wire eating weeds from the adjoining farm . That neighbor began crowing corn when provided with a newly generated seed that was meant to be immune to all pesticides . Jenna runs up against speculation and doubt when trying to warn the towns people to avoid eating lamb her stepfather sold to local markets . Low budget and unmemorable . Others in the cast : Pamela Gray , Jamie Harold , Brian Dykstra and Peter McRobbie . |
382,607 | 449,021 | 60,536 | 3 | How deep into the future will mankind go ? | Are you ready for this ? This is one of a string of little or no budget remakes by filmmaker Larry Buchanan for AIP . IN THE YEAR 2889 is a remake of Roger Corman's THE END OF THE WORLD ( 1956 ) . A stick in the mud retired Navy Captain John Ramsey ( Neil Fletcher ) and his daughter Joanna ( Charla Doherty ) survive a nuclear disaster in their built specially for the occasion home in the bottom of a canyon .

Oddly enough the next to appear is an alcoholic farmer Tim ( Bill Thurman ) . This strange collection of folks are not only in fear of radioactive fallout ; but also the raw meat eating mutants like Granger that keeps coming closer and closer to the house . Lust , drunkenness and murder are interrupted when fresh rain falls and saves Joanna from a telepathic mutant that has carried her off to the woods . Will this rainfall be mankind's salvation ? The mutant ( in an awkward rubber mask ) is played by Byron Lord . |
381,992 | 449,021 | 439,615 | 3 | Nazi zombies ! Beware ! Bad ! | A war movie of a strange ilk . As if war itself isn't enough to fear . With Hitler in desperation , and an obsession with science and the paranormal . . . a secret weapon is needed . The maniacal leader orders a lab to create impervious super-soldiers to fight the Allied troops . The prototype zombie-like Nazi warrior attacks like a deprived animal . The American army reassigns soldiers to find and destroy the lab that created the wild eyed crazed creature . The actual war scenes fall short of looking real . With a bigger budget this movie could have been something worth remembering . The cast includes : Jon Osbeck , Joe Lorenzo , David Carroll , C . Alec Rossel and Jason Morris . |
382,153 | 449,021 | 889,218 | 3 | Small town America . . . victim of experimentation . | This Tyler Tharpe Sci-Fi flick flat-lines rapidly in accordance with the story not making much sense and dragging on and on . RETURN IN RED is a little-known military test classification for serious and fatal experiment results . Gloom and doom hangs over a small rural town that has no stop lights , shopping mall , cable TV . . . let alone Internet service . The residents unknowingly are guinea pigs in an experiment where electromagnetic frequencies play havoc on the human brain . This is a strange mesh of Sci-Fi and horror . One question . . . what in the hell was the purpose of the ' factory ' ? It appeared to just be a garage producing or processing nothing . Besides having an irritating whistle it was the site of a bloody gore-fest . Starring : J . J . Huckin , Amy Paliganoff , Michael Ray Reed and Becky Niccum . |
382,676 | 449,021 | 92,115 | 3 | Little creatures want their world back . | Once upon a time the world was divided by humans and trolls . This bizarre fantasy faire has an evil troll , Torok ( Phil Fondacaro ) , selecting a San Francisco apartment house to become the center of a new troll order . Two youngsters , Harry ( Noah Hathaway ) and Wendy ( Jenny Beck ) Potter , are used as pawns by Torok to try and change residents , apartment by apartment , into mysterious trolls and demons . Most of the creatures seem claymation-like . And the troll king resembles the lead creature in LEPRECHAUN ( 1993 ) . You may ask yourself why you watched from beginning to end . This one gets old quick and the PG-13 rating must be strictly enticement . Most , if not all , violence seems to be implied . A pretty good list of stars partake : Michael Moriarty , Shelley Hack , June Lockhart , Gary Sandy , Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Sonny Bono . |
382,915 | 449,021 | 39,694 | 3 | If she did it . . . why did she do it ? | Alfred Hitchcock presents a suspenseful courtroom tale about a lawyer ( Gregory Peck ) defending an alluring woman ( Alida Valli ) accused of poisoning her blind husband . Predictably the attorney falls in love with his client . A little less talk and a little more action would be nice . This is below par compared to Hitchcock's own standards . The star-studded cast includes : Ethel Barrymore , Charles Coburn , Ann Todd , Louis Jordan and Leo G . Carroll . |
383,503 | 449,021 | 64,952 | 3 | Not the war epic I was expecting . | The names Stanley Kramer and Anthony Quinn sucked me into this one . This is more or less a story about a small hillside village and when its buffoon Italo Bombolini ( Quinn ) hears about the death of Mussolini and his hanging on a meat-hook for all to view , he goes to the town's water tower to paint over a pro-Mussolini slogan . Bobolini's wife Rosa ( Anna Magani ) kicks his drunk butt out of the house and her wine shop for celebrating with his friends and giving away too much wine . Well , the village idiot is proclaimed Mayor of Santa Vittoria and upon hearing that retreating German forces were on the way through town , he convinces hundreds of villagers to help hide the town's only asset . . . tens of thousands of bottles of wine . Kudos to Kramer . The cinematography is fine , what there is of it . A few passionate scenes , but mostly a light dramatic atmosphere with comedic overtones . It is definitely Quinn's movie , but also in the cast are : the beautiful Virna Lisi , Sergio Franchi , Hardy Kruger , Giancarlo Giannini and Wolfgang Jansen . |
384,512 | 449,021 | 889,181 | 3 | A serious ax to grind . | Written and directed by Al Randall , DARK FIELDS is a predictable slasher flick . At times irritating , but does have its elements of suspense and fright . Five teens were on their way to a killer concert ; but run out of gas . Zach ( Brian Austin ) and jock Josh ( Eric Phillion ) are irritating as hell with their degrading jokes . Taylor ( Jenny Scott ) is the leggy hottie with the extra tight low rider jeans . Justine is the off and on again sexpot . . . off and on IS the best description . Drew ( Ryan Hulshof ) is the dullard that ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere of course . Seeking gas and a place to warm up from the cold , the teens knock on the wrong door of a deserted looking farm house that does have one sole occupant that has a big ass ax to grind . A missed killer concert , but a date with a psycho killer and a night of terror is more than expect . Randall appears as Farmer Brown . |
384,513 | 449,021 | 772,193 | 3 | A news team flirts with death . | Inspired by a true story of a 25-foot man-eating crocodile . A news team travels deep within the heart of African jungle land with the assignment to not just do a story , but capture the voracious crocodile the natives call Gustave . The hungry croc also is on the hunt . . . for human flesh . The team is made up of reporter Tim Manfrey ( Dominic Purcell ) , his cameraman Steven ( Orlando Jones ) and attractive reporter Aviva Masters ( Brooke Langton ) . Heart-stopping fear is thick when Gustave gets up close and personal . What's left of the crew leaves with at least a story ; while the large killer crocodile Gustave continues his terror in the river and wetlands . Also in the cast : Jurgen Prochnow , Gideon Emery , Gabriel Malema and Dumisani Mbebe . Don't expect to be overwhelmed with special effects . |
382,087 | 449,021 | 906,734 | 3 | A life fragile as glass . | THE BROKEN is part of the After Dark Horrorfest III . Not a slasher or filled with gore . Plenty of broken glass and mirrors in this edgy thriller from France and writer / director Sean Ellis . A successful radiologist Gina McVay ( Lena Headly ) inters a strange world as her life seems to spiral out of control . While attending her father's ( Richard Jenkins ) birthday party , the guests are stunned when a mirror crashes to the floor for no obvious reason . Things get really strange when she witnesses a woman that is the spitting image of herself driving down a London street in a car identical to her own . Gina sneaks to her doppelganger's apartment and finds a photo of herself with her father . She drives away and is involved in a head on collision . Then mysteriously her boyfriend is not the same ; to be exact family and friends are not easy for her to trust . Is Gina beside herself ? Is she in a parallel world ? Her nightmares become more horrific . . . is she broken ? Kudos if you can figure this one out . . . it won't be easy . Editing couldn't be any tighter . Lighting is questionable . Other players : Melvil Poupard , William Armstrong , Michelle Duncan and Ulrich Thomsen . |
383,752 | 449,021 | 462,193 | 3 | Wisconsin urban legend . | How many times have you heard " based on true events " ? Clichéd , a few scares , attractive young women , blood and a bit of gore . . . and yes a creature on a killing spree . In a wooded area in Wisconsin people are missing , getting ripped in half and some having their guts devoured . A local sheriff finds himself looking for a creature leaving DNA of both man and wolf . What you get to see of the beast is not all that bad and like a lot of cheesy horror fare . . . the finale is the best sequence of the movie . Among the cast members : Jeff Denton , Sarah Lieving , Tom Nagel , Tom Downey , Christina Rosenberg , Marija Polsley and with Joel Hebner playing the beast of Bray Road . |
382,353 | 449,021 | 347,585 | 3 | A love to transgress time . | ADULT MOVIE . A disgraced ancient Egyptian sorceress ( Ava Niche ) is brought back to life in modern day Los Angeles to reclaim an old love in the spirit of a college student ( Sasha Peralto ) . Naked lovin ' , touchin ' and squeezin ' . Flimsy , hackneyed story line ; but at least one is attempted . Also in the cast are : George Thomas , Aysia Lee and Richard Lynch . Listed as a horror movie ; but actually just a skin flick . ( I am not complaining ) . |
384,062 | 449,021 | 52,888 | 3 | Radiation the blame for a monster thriving on sunlight . | Robert Clarke writes , directs and stars as Dr . Gilbert McKenna , a research physicist who is accidentally exposed to radiation . While being treated for the burn , it comes to light that enough sunlight will temporarily turn him into a lizard-like creature . The more sunlight the worse the condition . At night he wines , dines and enjoys life ; but during the day the doctor cowers from the sun . Not only has McKenna become a monster , but also a killer . Being shot in Black & White adds to the atmosphere . But still on close ups you can see the lizard suite's yolk flapping in the breeze . Still worth a watch . Other players : Patricia Manning , Nan Peterson , Patrick Whyte , Robert Garry and Daryl Westbrook . |
383,474 | 449,021 | 39,800 | 3 | Let the corpse speak for herself . | This is a strange , lukewarm chiller that arguably for the first time in the movies has a corpse telling the story of her mysterious death by way of flashbacks from a lab in cold storage . This is also the only movie that Bela Lugosi played in that was released in color . The mysterious green mask that keeps appearing in the window does fit into the weird story line . Albeit this 65 minute mystery / drama is more odd than horror . Beside Lugosi , very familiar faces show up in the cast : George Zucco , Roland Varno and Nat Pendleton are aided by Molly Lamont and Gladys Blake . |
383,980 | 449,021 | 282,589 | 3 | Little boy vs Santa . | This film isn't even worth the flimsiest of wrapping paper . Young Justin Carver ( Cole & Dylan Sprouse ) happens to see his beautiful mother ( Connie Sellecca ) kissing Santa Claus ; not knowing it is really his father . Justin has heard so many stories about divorce from his friends , that he fears his mother is having an affair that might lead to divorce . Justin wanting to keep his family intact . . . declares war against Santa . This movie becomes a poor man's HOME ALONE , with Justin putting jolly old St . Nick through hell and high water ; determined to keep him away from his mother . This flick is just not funny at all . To be exact , is pretty lame even for a made-for-TV project . Also in the list of players : Corbin Bersen , Sonny Carl Floyd , Jeff Olson , Eric Jacobs and Tony Larimer . |
382,672 | 449,021 | 196,158 | 3 | Just try to stop the hands of time . | Questionable talent . Questionable effort . More than enough explosions ; but that does not make a movie . A vengeful vice cop ( Tom Sizemore ) and a bomb-squad leader ( Steven Seagal ) search for a mad bomber ( Dennis Hopper ) that is setting time bombs all over San Francisco . The script is horrid . The cast also includes : Kevin Gage , Joe Spano and Jaime Pressly . Ms . Pressly gives very little effort and is not impressive at all . To be exact Seagal seems more stoic than usual . It is almost like everyone showed up to make a movie only to see the payroll go up in smoke ! |
383,419 | 449,021 | 44,990 | 3 | As far as the eye can see . | An ex-cavalry officer ( Rex Allen ) tries to persuade defiant ranchers to allow the Army to run tank maneuvers on their land . Just like Saturday afternoon at the movies . This cowboy drama also features : Slim Pickens , John Crawford , Roy Barcroft and the debut of Elaine Edwards . Wholesome entertainment with typical western violence . |
382,735 | 449,021 | 44,988 | 3 | Crime doesn't stand a chance . | This comedy / western features Judy Canova as a spunky and a bit ditzy storekeeper who wants to rid the crime element from Kirk County . She tries to sing her way into the heart of the new Sheriff Dan Fraser ( John Russell ) who chases the bad guys in his new Ford sedan . Bull McCready ( Grant Withers ) runs the gambling hall ; but Curt Walker ( Roy Bancroft ) is the bad guy that needs to be put behind bars . Judy is jokingly promised a Deputy's badge if she captures Walker . This may also get Sheriff Fraser's affections . Judy rigs the front door of her store with a bucket of water , sledge hammer and a shotgun ; but Walker enters through a window and is finally subdued by the spunky cowgirl with the half-cocked hat . Walker escapes jail , but is captured again as Judy leads the town's womenfolk in making a wreck of the gambling hall . Also in the cast are : Emmett Lynn , Fuzzy Knight , Houseley Stevenson and Frank Ferguson . Canova's off key singing is tolerable with her best tune being " Have You Ever Been Lonely ? " . I'm still trying to figure out the film's title OKLAHOMA ANNIE . |
383,335 | 449,021 | 452,598 | 3 | Relaxing vacation . . . are you kidding ? | They're back . The Baker family , headed by Tom ( Steve Martin ) and Kate ( Bonnie Hunt ) , decides to gather a multi interest family together for a vacation . . . a memorable vacation . The Baker's decide to revisit Lake Winnetka Resort and find it is practically all owned by Tom's long-time rival , Jimmy Murtaugh ( Eugene Levy ) . These competitive childhood friends drag their families into a summer not to be forgotten . Situational and slapstick comedy dominates . This movie is very predictable . Crude humor and just plain silly . Was the first one worth a sequel ? Also in the cast : Hilary Duff , Jaime King , Tom Welling and Alyson Stoner . |
382,034 | 449,021 | 67,148 | 3 | Godzilla up against a very strange foe . | This movie is so weird , it is almost comical . Better known as Godzilla vs The Smog Monster , this flick tries to take on a different format that resembles a poor man's James Bond movie . Seems to be put together kind of haphazardly , but really pretty interesting . Godzilla battles Hedrah or Hedora , a creature spawned from industrial pollution and rank waste material . Probably the strangest in the Godzilla series . |
384,301 | 449,021 | 381,582 | 3 | Sex more than pays . | ADULT . Softcore . A beautiful woman ( Nikki Fritz ) spends a week with her old corrupt boyfriend " working off " her husband's gambling debt . No need to get involved with a real story line when there is a ton of simulated sex scenes scorching the screen . It is hard not to notice Fritz . . . she appears to be naked even with her clothes on . Most of the acting is lame and the sex is overacted . Also in this direct to video eye popper is Angela Davies , Alex Ferro , Daniel Anderson and Wendy Rice . |
383,294 | 449,021 | 257,360 | 3 | Retirement allows you to get crazier . | This is a grim and somewhat dark comedy about a recently retired widower ( Jack Nicholson ) who travels across country from Nebraska to Colorado in an RV to try and stop his only daughter's ( Hope Davis ) wedding . Kathy Bates has a brief nude scene . . . heaven forbid . Not one of Jack's better movies , but definitely the only reason to watch ABOUT SCHMIDT . |
384,521 | 449,021 | 44,997 | 3 | Love and war in Korea . | This wartime drama falls a little flat in spite of a very talented cast . The rugged Robert Mitchum is in charge of evacuating American civilians in Korea , but ends up bombing refugees . War action is paced with heavy romance between Mitchum and Ann Blyth . This couple all but ignites the screen . Pretty hot for the early 50s . Also in the cast are Richard Egan , William Talman , Eduard Franz and Margaret Sheridan . Note : This movie is directed by Tay Garnett , whose work is better shown in THE CROSS OF LORRAINE ( 1943 ) . |
382,855 | 449,021 | 113,858 | 3 | Another giant insect to chill and drill you . | This movie borders being terrible . It is so close to being lame it is funny . Slimy , gory , and crude . Dialogue is about as bad as the acting . A spacecraft crashes in a swamp in a National Park and the area is invaded by mosquitoes as big as a Great Dane . Special effects vary in degrees of believability . But then again we are talking giant mosquitoes . View it as a bloody comedy and you won't be too disappointed . Two of the writers ( Gunnar Hansen and Steve Hodge ) are cast members . Also taking credit as actors are : Ron Asheton , Steve Dixon , Rachel Loiselle and John Reneaud . Very small children might actually be frightened , so don't spoil it for them by laughing out loud . |
382,293 | 449,021 | 45,012 | 3 | The big finish is in sight . | Probably one of the better Spenser Tracy / Katherine Hepburn movies . Hepburn is an all around female athlete and Tracy is determined to be her agent . Tennis and golf are the highlighted sports . Hepburn has trouble making the big finish because she " chokes " when her boyfriend is around . Casual and funny banter ; evocative of the classic romantic comedy . Also in the cast are : Sammy White , William Ching , Aldo Ray and smaller roles for Jim Backus ; the debut of Chuck Connors and yes that thug is Charles Bronson , then known as Charles Buchinski . Directed by George Cukor this story is no great whoop , but the selling point is the Tracy / Hepburn team . |
382,732 | 449,021 | 67,321 | 3 | A Frankenstein is a Frankenstein . | Low budget , but still creepy enough to hold your interest in another take off on the familiar Frankenstein story . This movie is also known as LADY FRANKENSTEIN . The alluring Tania Frankenstein ( Sara Bay ) fresh from medical school arrives at her father's estate to find that he is still up to his old tricks . Baron Frankenstein ( Joseph Cotten ) is murdered by his own creation and now his daughter decides to carry on the family tradition by creating herself a lover . This is closer to being an eerie melodrama than horror flick . Supporting cast features Mickey Hargitay , Paul Whiteman , Paul Muller and Herbert Fux . A rainy night could amplify the atmosphere . Still a fun watch . |
383,736 | 449,021 | 385,307 | 3 | At large and in charge . . . NOT ! | After her mass notoriety working undercover as a contestant in MISS CONGENIALITY , Special Agent Gracie Hart ( Sandra Bullock ) becomes the new celebrity face of the new FBI . When Miss United States ( Heather Burns ) and pageant emcee Stan Fields ( William Shatner ) are kidnapped in Las Vegas ; Gracie and her new and reluctant partner Sam Fuller ( Regina King ) go against top brass and spring into action . The powers-that-be think that Hart may be too pampered to go undercover again . Miss Priss and her anger management failure partner put their animosity aside to successfully accomplish their assignment and make the FBI look good . This contrived comedy slides to the edges of boredom . The cast is completed by : Treat Williams , Ernie Hudson and Enrigue Murciano . Shatner's silliness is worth pity . An obligatory sequel is not always the best idea . |
383,898 | 449,021 | 109,906 | 3 | Why can't we just all get along ? | Try to fit in or decide to do the right thing ? Ambition is one of the things that stands in the way of J . J . Johnson ( Michael Boatman ) . . . the other is that he is a rookie state trooper with the LA Sheriff's Department and the first black officer at his first assigned station . Who is he teamed with ? The station's only female deputy Deb Fields ( Lori Petty ) . This movie progresses with nonstop suspense and explosive decisions to be made . Johnson and Fields uncover mass corruption when they discover that a well known criminal ( Ice Cube ) has been framed and jailed for a vicious murder . Do they break the unwritten code of silence or do the right thing ? Well . . . what makes for a better movie ? This gritty police yarn is filled with obligatory violence and an all-star cast of actors like : Richard Anderson , M . Emmet Walsh , Michael Ironside , Bernie Casey and Elliott Gould . I was really impressed with Boatman and Ice Cube . On the other hand I have never been or will be a fan of Petty . Overall the truth proves to be pretty damn powerful . |
382,088 | 449,021 | 1,045,655 | 3 | Predictable " haunting " movie . | Pretty miserable , but watchable . . . just don't expect a lot . Predictable " haunting " flick . Brutal violence and unnerving inner fears with nail biting anxiety . Molly Hartley ( Haley Bennett ) is looking forward to a fresh start with her mother locked away in a mental ward . Trying to forget a violent past ; maybe a new school , a new boyfriend and becoming popular would make her life worth living . But still there is that fear of inheriting her mother's psychosis . Molly visits a secret more harrowing than anything anyone could ever imagine . . . a destiny to avoid . Also starring are : Shanna Collins , Chance Crawford , Jake Weber and Annalynne McCord . |
383,375 | 449,021 | 113,762 | 3 | Keep the machine fed . | It's not oil that keeps a laundry folding machine running . . . its blood . Director Tobe Hooper adapts a Stephen King short story in this mediocre tale of horror at the Blue Ribbon Laundry . Accidents keep happening at the laundry plant and detective John Hunton ( Ted Levine ) investigates . It seems the folding machine has acquired the taste of humans and the laundry owner Bill Gartley ( Robert Englund ) does his best to keep the mechanical demon fed . Some pretty messy scenes and interesting are the braces holding the laundry owner's mangled body together . Blood and gut chunks spew and even the folding machine becomes animated in its need to feed . Also starring are : Vanessa Pike , Daniel Matmor and Jeremy Crutchley . |
381,958 | 449,021 | 346,811 | 3 | Gigantic Komodo dragons must find nourishment . | Once again genetic experimentation has gone awry . A group of casino robbers crash land on a tropical island where scientists are already living in fear . The Army has been experimenting for years developing new weaponry . . . things have gotten a bit out of hand . Genetic tampering has transformed Komodo dragons into giant , human-hunting monsters intent with wrecking the jungle as they forage for nourishment . The casino bandits don't have to think twice when it comes to helping the scientists keep the creatures from escaping and making the rest of mankind high priority on the food chain . The story is pretty lame and the cast is pretty shallow too . Melissa Braselle and Glori-Anne Gilbert are an eye full in different degrees . Also in the cast are : Tim Abell , William Langlois , Paul Logan and Gail Harris . A much better Komodo movie to check out is KOMODO ( 1999 ) . |
383,908 | 449,021 | 280,707 | 3 | Col . Mustard with the candlestick in the library . | Is this Robert Altman at his best or worst ? GOSFORD PARK is a slow moving all-star murder mystery . A beastly owner of a 1930's British estate is killed during a weekend shooting party and upper crust get together . The movie is very wordy and mostly with bad accents . The murder event is not as important as the attitudes and suspicions between the high class guests and their servants . The cast members dialogue make the movie . You either find this entertaining or pretty lame . Wardrobes and sets are outstanding . Notable among this large cast are : Kristin Scott Thomas , Eileen Atkins , Michael Gambon , Jeremy Northam , Kelly Macdonald , Maggie Smith , Emily Watson and Ryan Phillippe . A hot buttered rum sounds good about now . Brandy if its handy . |
383,607 | 449,021 | 51,226 | 3 | Beware of the guards of the sunken treasure . | Not your typical zombie flick . This time the walking dead can also swim . A group of treasure hunters are searching for a sunken ship that went down off the coast of Africa . The sunken cargo of diamonds have lured many seekers ; but all have been turned back by a crew of zombies . This little movie is better than you think . This is another of those that are better viewed late at night . Can't say this flick is not worthwhile , because there is plenty a lot worse . This story is by George Plympton and stars Gregg Palmer , Allison Hayes , Morris Ankrum and Autumn Russell . |
383,718 | 449,021 | 131,369 | 3 | Every move you make . . . every breath you take ! | Ron Howard directs this quirky comedy about a San Francisco video-store clerk ( Matthew McConaughey ) allowing a desperate TV station televise his daily life around-the-clock . It causes problems for those around him , especially his brother ( Woody Harrelson ) and a new relationship with his brother's former girlfriend ( Jenna Elfman ) . This is so off beat . . . I like it . After a while you realize you've been watching it for two hours . A real diverse cast keeps the movie alive . Featured players : Ellen DeGeneres , Rob Reiner , Martin Landau , Sally Kirkland , Dennis Hopper and Elizabeth Hurley who is hotter than hot . Give this romantic comedy a chance to play your heart strings . |
383,108 | 449,021 | 304,722 | 3 | Weird ! Creepy family values . | Veteran make-up pro Gabriel Bartolas writes , produces and directs this horrid freak show . You really have to be in the right mood and or three sheets to the wind at 3 a . m . to survive this one . The curiously sick side of me enjoyed this brutal horror flick . The Rockwell family is on vacation when a flat tire leaves them in the middle of nowhere . Don't you hate that when it happens ? They find refuge in a run down diner ran by Granny ( Liz Little ) , who is actually a rather insane individual and matriarch of a weird family of mutants . The most imposing member of the family is the metal-faced Surgeon General ( Aaron Sims / Kurt Carley ) who carries out his own Texas chainsaw massacre . The Rockwell family is butchered except for teen screamer Tina ( Karoline Brandt ) taken captive and chosen by " Brain " ( Jay Dugre ) to be his future bride . . . think not ! The scenery is worse than a train wreck . The violence is strong , gory and very graphic . Also in this cast of unknowns are : Eric Bennett , Warwick Davis and the obnoxious Linda Weinrib . Have Blockbuster to save you a copy . |
383,099 | 449,021 | 473,267 | 3 | Double trouble on the bayou . | From the writer / director of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT Daniel Myrick , who spins a tale influenced by a Scandinavian thriller MIDSUMMER . SOLSTICE is a haunting yarn about a group of high school friends getting together for one last blow out before heading to college . Less than a year after losing her twin sister to suicide , Megan ( Elisabeth Harnois ) joins her friends on a trip to the family summer home on the Louisiana bayou . Things get real bizarre when Megan thinks she is being contacted by her sister from beyond the grave . A local hunk ( Tyler Hoechlin ) comes to dinner and teaches the group a Creole spell of the summer solstice . They actually try and raise Megan's sister from the dead . . . not without casualties . Flashbacks tend to disjoint the whole story and gets tiresome quickly . Also in the cast : Shawn Ashmore , Hilarie Burton , R . Lee Ermey and Matt O'Leary . |
383,795 | 449,021 | 106,471 | 3 | When you find her . . . don't let her get away . | Jennifer Chambers Lynch directs this darkly absurd love story . Dr . Nick Cavanaugh ( Julian Sands ) is a surgeon who becomes dangerously obsessed with a tramp of a vamp Helena ( Sherilyn Fenn ) that has ended a brief affair and desires to move on . The " love sick " doc lures Helena back to his home for one last chance to woo her . His romantic overture causes the winsome Helena to race from the house and into the street where she is run down by a truck . Not wanting to lose his love goddess to a hospital , Dr . Nick scoops up Helena and takes her back to his home lab where he amputates her arms and legs in order to keep her captive and under his control . . . his own trophy in a wheelchair . The beautiful Fenn was not the first choice to play Helena . Kim Basinger would be found guilty and financially punished for backing out of a verbal agreement to play the part in this weird love story . Director Jennifer Lynch did not shy away from borrowing her father's ( David Lynch ) bizarre and unconventional style . |
383,701 | 449,021 | 174,741 | 3 | Nerves of steel and a score to settle . | An ex-hitman ( Eric Roberts ) has a few felons , software thieves and hired killers to blow away and at the same time juggle his emotions . Very predictable storyline . Gunfire galore . Bullets do fly and not even one scratches our bad guy turned good . The budget was spent on the ammunition ; don't expect much in dialogue . Also appearing are Farrah Forke , C . Thomas Howell and Esteban Powell . |
381,982 | 449,021 | 265,666 | 3 | Dysfunctional is the norm with this family . | Wes Anderson directs this quirky comedy about an estranged patriarch ( Gene Hackman ) of a slightly neurotic family trying to finagle his way back into their lives by announcing he is suffering a terminal illness . This family of eccentrics prove to be a motley brood . Whimsical , incestuous and drug induced antics evoke just part of the substance of this intellectual comedy . An assortment of talent make up this ensemble cast featuring : Luke Wilson , Gwyneth Paltrow , Danny Glover , Anjelica Huston , Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller . And yes , the narrator is Alec Baldwin . I have yet to determine if this is bone head or funny bone comedy . |
383,494 | 449,021 | 315,824 | 3 | Who's conning who ? | George Armitage directs this version of THE BIG BOUNCE that meanders to the point of distraction . This movie seems to not have any motivation and an obvious convoluted storyline . Owen Wilson plays Jack Ryan , who if he has any luck . . . its bad luck . Wanting to stay out of jail he takes a construction job working for a shady developer Ray ( Gary Sinise ) and his assistant Bob ( Charlie Sheen ) . Upon being fired , he becomes a handyman for a Judge ( Morgan Freeman ) , who owns vacation bungalows . Jack falls in love with Nancy Hayes ( Sara Foster ) , who is Ray's house-sitter and girlfriend . Nancy becomes tired of Ray spending so much time with his wife ( Bebe Neuwirth ) and all but seduces Jack to help her scam Ray out of $200 , 000 . Sexual innuendos and beautiful Hawaiian scenery tries to keep the viewer's interest , but before this one is over ; you have no real idea of who is conning who . Also in the cast : Willie Nelson , Tony Dorsett and Anahit Minasyan . |
383,256 | 449,021 | 49,128 | 3 | Trying to live after an H-bomb . | A group of seven people fear they are the only survivors of a near world ending H-bomb blast . Not only do they fear the radiation , but also mutants in the surrounding hillside . One of the group is already contaminated , but strangely poses no real threat to the others . Just surviving the friction of assorted personalities at close range is the sub-plot . Richard Denning plays the hero . Mike Connors is close to the edge playing a tough guy . Lori Nelson is the girl destined to start populating a brave new world . Not one of director Roger Corman's best . This is predictable black and white sci-fi . |
384,253 | 449,021 | 465,538 | 3 | The truth can be adjusted . | Billed as a different style of thriller . I must have been brain dead through this one . I just thought this film dragged on and on and on . I was wanting to be thrilled and maybe excited . . . neither happened for me . Sorry George , sometimes a movie just goes flat . George Clooney stars as a mega attorney known as the " Fixer " . He works for one of the nation's most powerful law firms . Anytime one of their clients has a problem , preferably big , Clayton is called on to put a spin on the circumstances and get trouble solved with little or no publicity . One of the firm's premiere attorneys ( Tom Wilkinson ) goes a little nuts and strips in the middle of a deposition . Clayton is sent to find out what caused such a display . He decides it was just a matter of the attorney getting off of his medications . Things seem to spiral out of control and so does the interest in this movie . Its like the characters going through the motions and actually getting nothing done . Also in the film are : Tilda Swinton , Sydney Pollack and Michael O'Keefe . |
383,323 | 449,021 | 257,106 | 3 | Beware : SCARY MOVIE returns . | This SCARY MOVIE sequel is a take or leave it offering . No horror and not too much more to laugh at . Outrageous , yes . The strong sexual humor and graphic language brings a questionable amount of viewers back for more . Spoofing movies like STIGMATA and THE EXORCIST , a conniving college professor ( Tim Curry ) , lures special students to a haunted house for various decadent reasons . . . mainly to get laid . My favorite scene is the sequence of Tori Spelling with the " ghostly " lover . This comedy is directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans . The cast with various degrees of stardom features : Marlon and Shawn Wayans , Anna Faris , Regina Hall , James Woods , Chris Elliott , Kathleen Robertson and Veronica Cartwright . Woods is a hoot . I was most impressed with Robertson . . . damn , that girl is nice . No doubt about having a following ; enough to continue on . |
384,201 | 449,021 | 236,493 | 3 | One last heist ! Bring back the gun called " The Mexican " . | Stars with exceptional credentials can sometimes be wasted in an over ambitious project . This is a prime example . An inept criminal ( Brad Pitt ) promises his girlfriend ( Julia Roberts ) that he will change his ways after one last job . While he goes to Mexico to retrieve an ancient pistol , " The Mexican " , his demanding sweetheart is kidnapped . Gene Hackman and James Gandolfini support the toothsome twins Pitt and Roberts . The attempts at comedy are not all that humorous . The story line is not the easiest to follow . The finale is different and pretty neat . Just look for the smoke . Beware of the lack of entertainment . |
382,295 | 449,021 | 117,331 | 3 | Darkness awaits to rule the world . | Set in the late 1930s , Lee Falk's comic-strip superhero The Phantom ( Billy Zane ) musters his mortal efforts to stop a madman ( Treat Williams ) who wants to rule the world . Sets and photography are very interesting ; but of course the story is too predictable even for a fantasy world . Also in the cast are Kristy Swanson and the always beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones . Zane is not too shabby as a superhero defending honor and slamming evil . Of course the Phantom's outfit is more comical than impressive . Put your brain in neutral and enjoy the fantasy . |
382,290 | 449,021 | 339,291 | 3 | Unfortunate events follow three orphaned children . | A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS is based on a series of popular books by Lemony Snicket , Daniel Handler . Unfortunately I feel this film sucks . The visuals are impressive , but in to to not being pubescent I found this to be a mess . After their parents were killed in a fire the three Baudelaire orphans , Violet ( Emily Browning ) , Klaus ( Liam Aiken ) and cute Sunny ( Kara & Shelby Hoffman ) are shuffled to " near " relatives in hopes of finding a new home . They soon find out that Count Olaf ( Jim Carey ) , an actor and master of disguise , is their most villainous of relatives and has his mind set on killing them and claiming their vast fortune . Uncle Monty Montgomery ( Billy Connolly ) and also Aunt Josephine ( Meryl Streep ) appear to only be pawns in the scheme of things improvised by the evil Count Olaf . Telling this tale is Lemony Snicket voiced by Jude Law . |
383,172 | 449,021 | 79,027 | 3 | Sci-Fi drama . Unfullfilling . | Disjointed . Suspense that proves to be wasted . Maybe with a bigger budget . . . but then again probably not . The citizens of Santa Monica , California are fearful of the dark of night . A series of decapitation murders has Detective Dave Mooney ( Richard Jaeckel ) baffled and under watchful eyes . Roy Warner ( William Devane ) , a writer of bloody crime novels , is the father of one of the first victims . He also has history with Mooney ; it was the detective that sent him to prison . Warner wants answers ; so does TV reporter Zoe Owens ( Cathy Lee Crosby ) . A police pathologist ( Casey Kasem ) finds " The Mangler " to be gray and of supernatural origin . The finale is weak and leaves you wondering why you sat that long for almost nothing . Also in the cast : Keenan Wynn , Jacquelyn Hyde and John Bloom . |
382,145 | 449,021 | 170,260 | 3 | Sometimes you just can't control a woman . | Sam Pillsbury directs this drama about three escaped convicts that seek shelter in the home of a lonely southern woman ( Kelly McGillis ) . She will give in to an extent , but she keeps her values and seems unconcerned about the unwanted guests on her farm . Billy Zane is very impressive . The other two convicts are played by Henry Rollins and Johnny Galecki . This movie offers nothing memorable , but is fine for a lazy day . My only qualm was realizing this is not the glamorous and sexy McGillis we fell in love with thirteen years earlier in TOP GUN . Even without makeup , she is a flawless actress . |
384,232 | 449,021 | 369,918 | 3 | Harbinger of a deep dark past . | Sheldon Wilson's stark supernatural low budget horror film is too contrived , hard to follow and before it is over it becomes a head-scratcher . . . why does anyone watch this all the way through . Some pretty gory scenes , but that is about it . Out of the woods stumbles a naked teenage boy covered in blood , carrying the very same hunting knife that was used in a brutal murder twelve months earlier . Small town sheriff Jack Sheppard ( Timothy V . Murphy ) obligates himself to deal with his own demons and dark past and the slaying he failed to stop . Supernatural , horror and bunk ; the story line is just not very smart . The cast includes : Stan Kirsch , Patty McCormack , Natallie Avital and Rocky Marquette . |
384,403 | 449,021 | 205,271 | 3 | Honestly Doc . . . no two look alike ? | This sounds like a pretty interesting movie , but it is a little too busy and manic . The budget on scenery went to good looking women . A very popular Dallas gynecologist ( Richard Gere ) is coming unwound trying to balance the demands of his family , patients and employees . His wife ( Farrah Fawcett ) has mental problems and no longer cares for sex . His daughter Dee Dee ( Kate Hudson ) is planning a big wedding even though she is gay . Her affections are toward Marilyn played by Liv Tyler . Laura Dern is the doc's alcoholic sister-in-law that has recently moved into his home . The busy doc tries to relax with a little golf and a little lovin ' from golf pro Helen Hunt . Among all this , his office secretary ( Shelley Long ) makes her own play for the doc with all the right moves . Her's is a little out of step . The finale is like no other . Also in the cast are Tara Reid , Janine Turner , Lee Grant and Robert Hays . |
382,002 | 449,021 | 48,991 | 3 | No longer contented down on the farm . | The humanity of it all . . . I jest . Ranks among the worst ever . The shoestring budget is the real horror . I have always thought that bad horror is fun to watch . The jury is still out on this yarn of an alien space ship landing in the desert causing nearby farm animals to run amok . The cast features : Paul Birch , Lorna Thayer and Dick Sargent . |
383,801 | 449,021 | 49,015 | 3 | The pretty gals just arrived on the stage . | Typical Saturday afternoon at the movies western . Mediocre at best in spite of being directed by Charles Marquis Warren . This B movie is obvious low budget . Four fancy saloon gals ( Colleen Gray , Angie Dickinson , Adele Mara and Dorothy Schuyler ) are put on a stage and ran out of town . Destination , who knows where , is not reached due the stage breaking down at a way station . As the wheel of the stage is being repaired , a gang of outlaws arrive and demand the women ; they want the bad men's money , but nothing else . The girls stand about looking nice , while the villains want to raise a ruckus . . . and a whip is taken to a gun fight . Oh , well . The rest of the cast features : Hugh Marlowe , Richard Gilden , Paul Richards , Sheb Wooley and Strother Martin . It seems a long 77 minutes . |
381,956 | 449,021 | 59,727 | 3 | Beware of that ultimate collectible . | By far not a Hammer film , but it does have that dynamic duo of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee . The skull of the one and only Marquis de Sade is robbed from the grave and a shady dealer ( Patrick Wymark ) offers it to a collector of the occult Christopher Maitland ( Cushing ) . Maitland is proud of his new possession and later discovers that it was stolen from his friend Matthew Philips ( Lee ) . Philips is not exactly unhappy with the loss and he passes on some sound advice about the skull's deadly powers . Death seems to follow possession of the purloined headpiece . Portions of the film have no dialog and the visuals carry the story along . Some pretty cool and interesting camera shots are through the eye sockets of the skull . Its not hard to see the strings moving the skull about . Also in the cast are : Michael Gough , Patrick Magee , Nigel Green and Jill Bennett . |
382,509 | 449,021 | 389,790 | 3 | Animated with not enough fun . | If you like Jerry Seinfeld you'll like BEE MOVIE ; if you don't . . . you won't . I'm in the latter camp , but watched to see what the hype was about . Barry B . Benson ( Seinfeld ) is a new graduate and must decide his future . Instead of being a worker bee with the same job everyday forever is not that appealing . He would rather be a pollen jock and go out into the world and collect nectar , but he knows that job is but a lofty dream for a young bee . Barry soars out into the world on his own and breaks one of the most important rules of beedom . . . he speaks to a human . He is saved from a bad situation by Vanessa Bloome ( Renee Zellweger ) a florist ; and through that relationship Barry decides to sue the human race for manufacturing honey . Some pretty big named stars lend their voices : Chris Rock , Matthew Broderick , John Goodman , Kathy Bates , Rip Torn and Michael Richards . |
383,935 | 449,021 | 95,188 | 3 | A city couple moves to the country . | Chevy Chase plays Andy Farmer , a frustrated writer , who moves with his wife , Elizabeth , to a farm in Vermont . Nothing seems to go the way the couple expected . The Farmer's bribe the township into creating a Norman Rockwell persona in order to sell the farm and return to New York . This movie is more stupid than funny . Pathetic jokes that keep falling flat and missing their mark . Jay Cronley's novel was done a disservice . Madolyn Smith-Osborne holds her own with what she has to work with . This is no where near the caliber of Chase's " vacation " movies . |
382,708 | 449,021 | 1,198,054 | 3 | Will the real Boston Strangler stand up . | Michael Feifer writes and directs this " untold " story revolving around the terrifying serial killings of thirteen women in Boston in the early sixties . Police thought they had once and for all captured the infamous Boston Strangler in Albert DeSalvo ( David Faustino ) . The women were sexually assaulted and left displayed with no shame and most strangled with their own nylon stockings . DeSalvo , psychotic and proud of the notoriety was convicted and later found stabbed to death in prison . The police were never fully convinced the killings were committed by just one man . This movie wants you to think you know who really did the killings other than DeSalvo . This movie does not carry the intensity or even the interest possessed by the 1968 BOSTON STRANGLER starring Tony Curtis . And Faustino is damn sure not a Tony Curtis . His casting as DeSalvo seems so ludicrous ; and at times comes off as a cocky buffoon instead of a " psycho " killer . I kept waiting for this movie to get better and it never did . Also in the cast : Andrew Divoff , Kostas Sommer , Joe Torry and Corin Nemec . |
384,497 | 449,021 | 840,304 | 3 | Hungry giant spiders attack a ski resort . | OK , another giant spiders flick ; but wait . . . this one is not totally bad . The CGI is really pretty smooth and the spiders do look cool . A young ski team is training for the Olympics and arrive at a nice ski resort in Logan County Utah run by Stephen J . Cannell . The young squad is thrilled to meet a ski instructor ( Patrick Muldoon ) that is a retired Olympic star . Things no longer focus on training when a scientist ( Vanessa Williams ) working at a government lab arrives with the horrifying news that a project has gone wrong . Giant spiders with accelerated growth are loose in the Lost Mountains and killing anyone they can pounce upon . Also in the cast : David Millbern , Matt Whittaker , Carleigh King and Thomas Calabro . |
382,419 | 449,021 | 117,038 | 3 | Are you sure he is heaven sent ? | A cynical reporter , greedy tabloid owner and a fake paranormal expert check out the wild tip that an archangel is living with a little old lady , that might be as unstable as her story sounds . It turns out that an angel really is visiting earth . John Travolta plays archangel Michael ; although charming , he is also untidy , a little over weight , seedy and womanizing . Heaven sent ? Intended to be a light comedy ; I found it short of being a good snooze . The name Travolta did very little magic for this project . This movie has a lot of stars , but giving below par performances : William Hurt , Bob Hoskins and Jean Stapleton . Andie MacDowell seemed clueless . Robert Pastorelli did very well with the part he was given . Teri Garr sparkled in her few moments on the screen . The trailers looked so promising , but the end result seems more like a waste of talent . Mildly funny , with more ho-hums than chuckles . |
384,029 | 449,021 | 487,037 | 3 | A mammoth stinker ! | A meteor slams into a museum in a small town in Louisiana and unleashes a partially frozen , 40 , 000 year-old woolly mammoth . Paleontologist Dr . Frank Abernathy ( Vincent Ventresca ) , who has made this mammoth on display his life's work , is called on to help Special Government Agents Powers ( Leila Arcieri ) and Whitaker ( Marcus Lyle Brown ) track down the rampaging creature . It seems the mammoth is alien fueled and the clock is ticking away toward the community's doom . Part of the rescue team is Abernathy's father ( Tom Skerritt ) , who is a B-movie and UFO fanatic . Special effects are a joke ; to be exact the movie comes off as a comedy more than horror flick . Ventresca becomes very obnoxious early and sustains the irritating role . I feel embarrassed for Skerritt , just how much does a real actor get paid to participate in crap like this ? Also in the cast are : Summer Glau , Charles Carroll and Cole Williams . I'm surprised the mammoth didn't take a big CGI dump . |
384,431 | 449,021 | 95,652 | 4 | Give it enough thought and it will get done , by your monkey ! | From George A . Romero , the man who gave us NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD ( 1969 ) , comes a dose of gruesome revenge . Jason Beghe plays a bitter man left quadriplegic from an accident . He has no kind thoughts of mankind . Things begin to change when he is presented with a specially trained monkey ( Ella ) that takes care of the paralyzed man's every whim . Soon the monkey starts anticipating Beghe's every thought . Nasty , dirty and deadly things begin happening when the monkey dishes out havoc on his master's girlfriend ( Janine Turner ) ; overbearing mother ( Joyce Van Patten ) ; and any and all others Beghe holds a grudge against . The paralyzed man soon has a shuddering thought . . . he must stop the carnage before the clever Ella takes control of his disturbed mind . Scary , sick and demented . . . just enough to wreck your nerves and jump start a good nightmare . Riveting , intense and strangely enjoyable . Also in the cast are Kate McNeil and John Pankow . Remember it is not nice to mess with Mother Nature . |
382,567 | 449,021 | 30,620 | 4 | Not quite up to snuff . . . but its Gene Autry . | Gene Autry , on the side of good and the law , is always eager to come to the aid of his fellow man . A bad guy on his last leg asks Gene for one last favor ; to be guardian of his three boys . Little did Gene know these orphans are actually Chicago street toughs that want little to do with their inheritance of a ranch in the wild west . Gene and his sidekick , Frog Millhouse ( Smiley Burnette ) , try to make the young guys comfortable ; only to find that the three trouble makers have become a small part of a cattle rustling scheme . All , of course , will turn out well . . . but not until Gene croons " The Girl in the Middle of My Heart " to his love interest played by Shirley Deane . Credited players include : Tommy Ryan , David Gorcey , Walter Tetley , Stanley Andrews , Jack Rockwell and Ray Bennett . |
383,723 | 449,021 | 52,564 | 4 | Mysterious planet is home to gruesome monsters . | This sci-fi adventure is not the best and by no means the worst . I agree with the statement that bad sci-fi is comical . Bizarre pink tinting and unusual special effects make this a favorite for the late , late , late show viewers . Space explorers on the planet Mars fight off strange giant amoeba-like monsters and other strange creatures . Pretty cool . The cast includes Les Tremayne , Naura Hayden , Gerald Mohr and Jack Kruschen . Get comfy and enjoy . Don't feel bad if you nod off for a moment . I agree with adding this to the list of cult classics to not miss . |
382,609 | 449,021 | 118,615 | 4 | Not just big . . . a mega sized menace in the Amazon . | A weak story . Even weaker script . Dialogue disjointed . With all big expectations put aside . . . an interesting cast jumps , dodges , slides , climbs and swims through a believe it or not fun to watch thriller . The special effects are impressive enough to have you flinching . A film crew featuring Jennifer Lopez , Ice Cube and Owen Wilson is deep in the jungle riding the Amazon River searching to film / document a legendary tribe . Not only do they have to contend with snakes of every size imaginable they are commandeered by an obsessed snake hunter ( Jon Voight ) . Voight is forcing the crew to hunt for a 40-foot anaconda that likes to swallow humans whole and for some reason vomits them back out . It is worth waiting for the final fight pitting Lopez and Ice Cube against the ferocious slithering hisser . I found it enjoyable watching Voight's demise . Rounding out the cast are Eric Stoltz and Jonathan Hyde . And yes , even in this mess Lopez is eye candy . Veteran Voight of course seems to be the only real talent . |
384,210 | 449,021 | 101,268 | 4 | Two brothers race for the finish line . | Not much to rave about unless you happen to be a Brad Pitt fan or a follower of Rick Schroder . The two play high school brothers that find some success on the track field . Pitt is trying to walk the straight and narrow ; while Schroder is a reform school refugee . Otherwise this movie does good to hold interest against an after school TV movie . Carrie Snodgress plays the passive mother still grieving her husbands death . Thomas Mikal Ford is the " meaning well " track coach . Unrealistic casting hurts . |
383,524 | 449,021 | 105,128 | 4 | A ghoulish tale . Evil just has trouble staying dead . | This is a sequel that has no connection to Stephen King . The only thing carried over from the original is the same location . Parts of this film are gory while violence over shadows the horror . This movie has been struck with a mean streak . A young widower ( Anthony Edwards ) moves with his young son ( Edward Furlong ) to an old town in Maine . After hearing the legend of the pet cemetery where sometimes the dead are revived ; he wants to take his mother from her grave and place her in the special burial ground in hopes of her rejoining the family . The boy's best friend's stepfather is proof that the legend is true . Some of the strangest scenes are funnier than they are scary . But don't rest easy for there are times you will flinch . Also in the cast are : Clancy Brown , Jason McGuire and Lisa Waltz . |
383,784 | 449,021 | 248,661 | 4 | Staying awake is staying alive . Cabbies beware of your fare . | This is a somewhat cold and dark look at the trials and tribulations of NYC streets after dark . Cab drivers keep working despite the fact a serial killer is on the loose and is targeting cabbies . Story line and script a bit rough , but it gives you the feel of reality . This movie gradually grabs your interest and holds on tight . Danny Glover plays a former pro basketball player turned cab driver . A very good performance as usual . Playing his love interest is Pam Grier , a waitress in a diner . Flawless job turned in by Ms . Grier ; and she is still a looker . Supporting cast includes Michelle Rodriguez , Paul Calderon , Sergej Trifunovic and Fisher Stevens . Cameos by Spike Lee and Walt Frazier . |
382,344 | 449,021 | 65,112 | 4 | Inside the cold-war . | I'm sorry that I missed the thrills that others have proclaimed about this movie . I found it interesting ; but easy to confuse the whole agenda ; lacking action and a half an hour too long . Just my opinion . A highly ranked Soviet official , who claims knowledge of Russian missiles in Cuba , defects to shelter in America . And a French agent with Cuban connections is asked to help the U . S . expose a spy ring . The acting is calm and wooden . Passion is obviously missing in this tense drama . The cast includes Frederick Stafford , John Forsythe , Karin Dor and Dany Robin . Directed by Alfred Hitchcock , this by no means compares with his better known movies . |
382,341 | 449,021 | 295,178 | 4 | The shagadelic man is on the move again . | This is the third of the Austin Powers installments . The shagadelic superspy must do some time traveling to rescue his father ( Michael Caine ) who has been kidnapped by minions of Dr . Evil . Powers enlists the help of Foxy Cleopatra ( Beyonce ) to back up to the swingin ' seventies to find his father . I don't think I laughed out loud , but admit there was an overload of " potty mouth " humor and sexual innuendos . The talented Mike Myers of course gives life to three other characters than Powers : Dr . Evil , Fat Bastard and Goldmember . Also in the cast are Robert Wagner , Seth Green and Michael York . Not recommended for the small fry of the family . Try and count the number of genital gags / jokes . Behave yourself , Baby ! |
381,994 | 449,021 | 167,350 | 4 | Not from human seed . | A young doctor and his wife are suddenly expecting a child . Both are disturbed about a two hour memory lapse on the night of conception . Interesting twist on an hackneyed story . Very good F / X and interesting editing . Jillian McWhirter is outstanding in a cast that features Arnold Vosloo , Wilford Brimley and Brad Dourif . Brimley brings normalcy to the outlandish . Kudos to director Brian Yuzna . |
383,194 | 449,021 | 43,914 | 4 | A fall from grace . | This is a tidy crime drama about a " retired " attorney ( Spenser Tracy ) dealing with his own unethical behavior . Well written and photographed . An apt group of players support the flawless Tracy : Pat O'Brien , John Hodiak , Regis Toomey , Diana Lynn and James Arness . Worth your attention . |
382,772 | 449,021 | 35,096 | 4 | Mummy on the move . | A resurrected wrapped monster goes on a murdering binge . A lunatic is seeking revenge against living members of a previous expedition . Universal seems to be running out of wrapping as well as new ideas . Most of the budget was probably spent on Lon Chaney Jr . to star as Kharis , the Mummy . Other players are George Zucco , Wallace Ford , Turhan Bey , Dick Foran and Elyse Knox . How much longer can this madness continue ? |
384,141 | 449,021 | 112,760 | 4 | The Captain is a . . . lady ? | Director Renny Harlin always seems to give you something to talk about . CUTTHROAT ISLAND is loud and dumb , and in spite of ridiculous dialogue there is almost non-stop action for over two hours . Morgan Adams ( Geena Davis ) is the pronounced captain of a pirate ship sailing the Caribbean in the mid 1660s . Adams and her motley crew are hunting for the treasure of millions of pounds of gold buried on Cutthroat Island . The problem is that she has only a third of the treasure map . Another third of the map is held by her Uncle Dawg Brown ( Frank Langella ) who would rather fight or even kill his niece for sole possession of the riches . William Shaw ( Matthew Modine ) is an odd sort of swashbuckler that reinforces the winsome female pirate in her search for the other third of the map as well as the fog swallowed Cutthroat Island . It is evident Davis worked hard in this stunt filled flick . However there seems to be no chemistry between the pairing of Davis with Modine . Modine was given the job when Michael Douglas bowed out due to Davis ' beefier role . Langella seems at times trying for a laugh than be the menacing villain he is expected to be . Davis at most times is 99 % eye candy . There is good support acting from : Stan Shaw , Rex Linn and Angus Wright . The movie offers some breathtaking visuals ; the best being the explosion of Dawg Brown's ship . I also liked the brief scene of a crew member getting his foot tangled in the anchor chain and going overboard . The London Symphony Orchestra provides a rousing score ; but all of the energetic action could not save this movie . . . it bankrupted Carolco Pictures . |
383,712 | 449,021 | 277,296 | 4 | You make your own destiny . | Get your mind off the real world and delve into action packed fantasy . Dwayne ( The Rock ) Johnson is a warrior chosen assassin exhausting his efforts to trounce an evil conqueror ( Steven Brand ) . The intense action takes your mind off of the hackneyed plot . Choose up sides and let the slaughter begin . Also in the cast are Kelly Hu , Michael Clarke Duncan and Grant Helsov . |
383,955 | 449,021 | 268,582 | 4 | Country music showcase . | For fans of " old " country and western music this will assimilate a long journey to Mecca . An assembly line of the then-current and up and coming stars of the genre . A bumbling agent , Colonel Beeddebaum ( Doodles Weaver ) goes to Nashville to sign up acts for a movie about country and western music .

382,571 | 449,021 | 400,717 | 4 | A friendly grizzly just wants to find home . | An interesting and funny animated comedy that really doesn't measure up to a slew of the most recent movies of this same type . A 900-pound domesticated grizzly named Boog ( Martin Lawrence ) ( voice ) is taken and let go high in the woods by his caretaker Beth ( Debra Messing ) ( voice ) . It happens to be three days before the opening day of hunting season ; and one hunter , Shaw ( Gary Sinise ) ( voice ) , in particular wants to make a trophy of Boog . The emotional grizzly has a new partner , Elliot ( Ashton Kutcher ) ( voice ) , who is hard to shake . The two have to survive open season in order to get back to Boog's garage home . Typical prepubescent potty humor ; the small amount of adult humor slips by most kids . Other stars lending their voices are : Jane Krakowski , Billy Connolly , Gordon Tootoosis and Georgia Engel . |
383,956 | 449,021 | 52,611 | 4 | Giant sea creature attacks London . | Lacking a budget makes for a sub-par 50s creature feature . Radiation again is the blame for A giant creature attacking mankind . Massive amounts of dead fish wash ashore and a man dies of burns from the radioactive beams projected from what will be called The Behemoth , from the Book of Job .

383,249 | 449,021 | 70,622 | 4 | Coil . Lunge . And show those fangs . Horror . . . No . Stupid . . . yes ! | This movie is more Sci-Fi than horror . And then it is more silly than Sci-Fi . The enjoyment comes from making fun of this one . The story line sounds like it could really be good ; but then you realize the project goes limp . Some of the special effects are decent , but not enough to carry a movie . Strother Martin plays a doctor working with grant money . His project on the side is turning his assistants into snakes . One ends up with a traveling circus as the " snake-man " . The doctor's daughter ( Heather Menzies ) falls in love with her father's current assistant ( Dirk Benedict ) and fails to stop the body change process . Familiar actors Tim O'Connor and Jack Ging also appear . Rent this one with a couple of others and enjoy some refreshments . Feel free to chat back and forth without fear of missing anything . Pre-puberty viewers will rate this one pretty high . |
