I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW from my video store because of all the controversy that surrounded it when it was first released in 1967. I also heard that at first it was seized by U.S. customs if it ever tried to enter this country, therefore being a fan of films considered "controversial" I really had to see this for myself.<br /><br />The plot is centered around a young Swedish drama student named Lena who wants to learn everything she can about life. In particular she wants to focus her attentions to making some sort of documentary on what the average Swede thought about certain political issues such as the Vietnam War and race issues in the United States. In between asking politicians and ordinary denizens of Stockholm about their opinions on politics, she has sex with her drama teacher, classmates, and married men.<br /><br />What kills me about I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW is that 40 years ago, this was considered pornographic. Really, the sex and nudity scenes are few and far between, even then it's not shot like some cheaply made porno. While my countrymen mind find it shocking, in reality sex and nudity are a major staple in Swedish cinema. Even Ingmar Bergman, arguably their answer to good old boy John Ford, had sex scenes in his films.<br /><br />I do commend the filmmakers for the fact that any sex shown in the film is shown for artistic purposes rather than just to shock people and make money to be shown in pornographic theaters in America. I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW is a good film for anyone wanting to study the meat and potatoes (no pun intended) of Swedish cinema. But really, this film doesn't have much of a plot.	0neg	I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW	I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW for the first time in my life. The film is about a young girl named Claire (played by Kate Beckinsale) who has been separated from her family and friends because of an incident with her father's new girlfriend, but she doesn't want to be left alone on this island where they live.<br /><br />The story revolves around Claire as she tries to find out more about her past and her parents' secrets that are buried deep inside their home. Her search leads her into danger which takes her back to England and eventually finds her at the hands of the evil Dr. Lister (Paul Bettany).<br /><br />This movie was so good! It had some great acting performances including Elizabeth Banks and Kate Beckinsale. They both did such amazing jobs playing two different characters; one being a shy and introverted teenager trying to figure things out while also dealing with her own problems, and another being a strong-willed woman determined not only to uncover what happened to her father but herself too. <br /><br />What makes it even better than usual is how well written everything is. There were no unnecessary scenes or plot holes throughout the entire movie and you never felt like you weren't understanding something just because there wasn't enough information given during certain parts of the movie. This made me feel very satisfied when the ending came finally, especially since it seemed like it would have ended differently if the director hadn't gotten all his money together and decided to make a sequel!<br /><br />Overall, this is definitely worth renting. You can tell that these actresses really put forth effort into making sure that every little detail gets done right. If you haven't seen anything similar before, then check out this movie. It will leave you wanting more! 9/10<br /><br />-Tara	I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW from the video store and was pleasantly surprised. The movie is a little different than most horror movies, but it's still pretty good.<br /><br />The story revolves around a young woman who goes to visit her sister in New York City for Halloween. She gets lost on a deserted island where she meets an old man named Dr. Loomis (played by Christopher Lee). He tells her that he can help her find her way back home if only she will tell him what happened during her last trip there.<br /><br />Dr. Loomis takes her under his wing as they go through some spooky adventures together. They encounter all sorts of strange creatures along their journey including a giant octopus, a werewolf, a ghostly clown, a talking snake, and even a female vampire! Along the way, they also meet a bunch of other people who have been stranded at the same island. Some are friendly while others aren't so much. One particular person has a crush on Dr. Loomis and wants to get close to him, which leads them into more trouble than they could ever imagine!<br /><br />While this film isn't exactly scary or gory like many of the other films out there, it does offer up plenty of thrills and spills throughout its 80 minute running time. It keeps you guessing until the very end and makes sure your heart skips a beat every once in awhile. This movie really packs a punch when compared with most of the rest of the genre. If you're looking for something that's not too corny or overly sentimental, then give this one a try. You'll be glad you did! <br /><br />Rating: *1/2 stars out of <br /><br />(* = Excellent)**1/2 (4-5)*1/3 (3-4)**1/4 (2-3)***1/5(1-2)<br /><br />'Scream' fans might want to skip this one because it doesn't quite deliver the same level of scares as 'Halloween'. However, those who enjoy these kinds of stories should definitely check this out. There are some great twists and turns in here and it never feels rushed or forced. Overall, I would recommend giving this one a chance just to see how well it holds up against the competition. And don't forget to bring a friend! ;) 1/2 stars out of *****	I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW for my 20th birthday. It was a great movie, and it made me realize that there are many people out there who have the same interests as myself.<br /><br />The story is about a young woman named Nellie (played by Emily Watson) who has been in an abusive relationship with her father since she was five years old. She moves to London when she's fifteen because of his death. There she meets a man named Jack (played by Daniel Craig). He seems like he could be just what she needs after all these years. But then things start going wrong between them. The film shows how they both try to make their way through life together but eventually find themselves falling apart on each other.<br /><br />This movie really touched me deeply. I'm not sure if this is due to its subject matter or whether it was simply due to the acting skills of the actors involved. Either way, it definitely deserves some recognition. This is one of those movies you can watch over and over again without getting bored. You will probably get more than your money back from renting it! <br /><br />(Note: I am still waiting for someone to tell me why this movie doesn't deserve better reviews!)<br /><br />1/5 stars - Not recommended unless you're interested in seeing a good romantic comedy. If you want something different, check out "A Beautiful Mind" instead. :) 8/10 Stars!!	I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW for the first time in my life. The DVD was a little too short, but it still had plenty of laughs and good acting.<br /><br />The movie is about an 18 year old girl named Claire who has been kidnapped by her father's gangster brother (played by Robert Downey Jr.) to be used as bait for his upcoming assassination attempt on President Kennedy. She escapes from prison with help from a local cop named John (played by Paul Reiser).<br /><br />This film made me laugh so hard that I almost cried! It really does have some great lines like "You're not going anywhere!" or "What do you want?" This movie also makes fun of many things: drugs, guns, cops, etc...It even has a bit about how people can get arrested without having any evidence against them!<br /><br />If you are looking for something funny, then this one might just be your cup of tea. If you don't mind being bored out of your mind, then go rent this movie instead. You will probably enjoy it more than most movies these days because there aren't much new ones coming out anymore. <br /><br />(SPOILER) After Claire gets back home she finds out that her dad is actually the person who killed JFK. He wants revenge on everyone involved including her parents and friends. They all end up getting hurt badly while trying to stop him.<br /><br />There were times when I thought the ending would make no sense at all. But I guess if you think about it, everything happens for a reason. And sometimes we need to see why things happen before they happen. That's what this movie teaches us:<br /><br />-Why should we believe anything? -We shouldn't trust anyone unless they prove themselves trustworthy.<br /><br />So watch this movie and let yourself relax and enjoy the humor. You won't regret it. :) 9/10<br /><br />Title (Brazil): "O Curioso Negro" ("Curious Black") <br /><br />Runtime: 76 minutes (45 minutes running-time)<br /><br />Director: Bruno Mattei & Roberto Cipriani<br /><br />Writer(s): Bruno Mattei & Roberto Cipriani<br /><br />Cast: Paul Reiser, Robert Downey Jr., Paul Sorvino, David Hewlett, Bill Paxton, Mary McDonnell, Kevin Kline, George Wendt, James Russo, Martin Donovan, Christopher Lloyd,	0.500001	0.499999	0.499884	0.500116
"I Am Curious: Yellow" is a risible and pretentious steaming pile. It doesn't matter what one's political views are because this film can hardly be taken seriously on any level. As for the claim that frontal male nudity is an automatic NC-17, that isn't true. I've seen R-rated films with male nudity. Granted, they only offer some fleeting views, but where are the R-rated films with gaping vulvas and flapping labia? Nowhere, because they don't exist. The same goes for those crappy cable shows: schlongs swinging in the breeze but not a clitoris in sight. And those pretentious indie movies like The Brown Bunny, in which we're treated to the site of Vincent Gallo's throbbing johnson, but not a trace of pink visible on Chloe Sevigny. Before crying (or implying) "double-standard" in matters of nudity, the mentally obtuse should take into account one unavoidably obvious anatomical difference between men and women: there are no genitals on display when actresses appears nude, and the same cannot be said for a man. In fact, you generally won't see female genitals in an American film in anything short of porn or explicit erotica. This alleged double-standard is less a double standard than an admittedly depressing ability to come to terms culturally with the insides of women's bodies.	0neg	"I Am Curious: Yellow" is	"I Am Curious: Yellow" is a very good movie. I am curious about the whole thing, and it's not just because of the title.<br /><br />The story revolves around four young people who are in love with each other but can't seem to get together for some reason or another. They all live on an island off the coast of Mexico where they have no means of communication except by radio (and that only once every 24 hours). The radio station has been broadcasting from one side of the world to the other since its inception over three decades ago.<br /><br />As you might guess, this is quite a strange situation as there is nothing like normal life going on here. There are lots of oddities such as the fact that most of the characters speak Spanish instead of their native language which makes them sound completely different than what they actually say. Also, when the radio goes out, everyone becomes lost, so even though they know how to communicate through telephone calls, they still cannot find each other.<br /><br />I don't want to give too much away about the plot without spoiling anything, but suffice it to say that the film tries hard to keep up with the pace while also trying to make us care deeply about these four lonely souls. It succeeds at both.<br /><br />It was made during the Vietnam War era and therefore had a certain political message attached to it; however, unlike many films set in war-torn countries today, "Am I Curious?" doesn't try to be preachy nor does it glorify any particular cause or ideology. Instead, it simply wants us to think about what we're doing and why we do things the way we do. This is especially true if you've ever felt trapped inside your own head and have decided to leave everything behind and go somewhere else altogether.<br /><br />If you haven't seen this before, then I highly recommend giving it a chance. You'll probably enjoy it more after seeing it again. If you liked "Lost Highway," then you will definitely feel right at home watching this movie! And if you enjoyed "American Beauty," then you should check out "The Big Chill." <br /><br />And finally, if you happen to see this movie playing sometime soon, please tell someone about it--it could help save lives! :)<br /><br />(PS- If you decide to rent this movie, be sure to watch it twice!)<br /><br />10/10<br /><br />~Jesse E. Hobson ~	"I Am Curious: Yellow" is a very good film. It's not the best, but it's still pretty darned good.<br /><br />The plot of this movie is about an old woman who lives alone in her small house with two cats and a dog. She has been living there for 10 years now. One day she gets bored so she decides to go out on a date. After that she meets some guys at a bar and they decide to have sex together. The next morning when she wakes up she finds herself naked again! Then one of them asks "Are you married?"<br /><br />I think I've seen better movies than this one. But then again, I'm no expert like most people here...<br /><br />This movie was directed by Michael Haneke (who also wrote the screenplay). He does such great films like "Ninotchka", "Trainspotting", etc., which are all really good. This movie isn't as bad as those other ones though because he doesn't try too hard or overdo things. There were times where I thought the characters would die off before we got any kind of action going on. Sometimes the actors did do well acting-wise, but overall it wasn't much fun watching these characters act.<br /><br />Overall, if you're looking for something funny, watch this movie. If you want a serious story, look elsewhere. <br /><br />-Jared<br /><br />Rating: ***<br /><br />(4/5)	"I Am Curious: Yellow" is a fun little film that has been around for years, but never really caught on. It's an odd hybrid of "The Exorcist", "Psycho", and the short story by Edgar Allen Poe about a young girl who gets possessed by a ghost from her dead father (played with great skill by John Carradine).<br /><br />It's not exactly scary or suspenseful in any way; it just seems like some guy was trying to make something out of nothing.<br /><br />I don't know why I watched this movie at all - maybe because I'm such a sucker for old horror films made before 1970? Maybe because I liked John Carradine as a character actor? Or perhaps because I found myself laughing hysterically throughout most of the film...or maybe it was just me?<br /><br />This one isn't bad enough to be forgotten, but it certainly wasn't worth seeing again unless you're looking for something different than your average low-budget B-movie.<br /><br />(And if you haven't seen it yet, check out my review of "A Ghost Story".) <br /><br />Rating: */<br /><br />* This site contains affiliate links which means we may get paid if you click on them and buy things. We do not receive compensation if you choose to purchase anything through these links. All opinions are our own. Thank You!	"I Am Curious: Yellow" is a very funny movie. It has some of the best music ever made, and it's got great acting by all the cast members.<br /><br />The story revolves around an old man who lives in a small town with his wife and two children. He likes to watch movies on TV when he can't see them because they are so boring. One day, he watches "Yellow", which was one of those movies that you have to sit through for about 2 hours just to get bored enough to actually laugh at something else. The rest of the film follows him as he goes back and forth between watching this movie and going out to eat or do other things.<br /><br />I love how the actors act like real people instead of stereotypes (like the guy playing the doctor). They're not pretending to be actors; they're really good looking guys doing what looks like their everyday jobs. I also liked how the director used lots of shots where there were no characters involved - it makes me want to go outside and play baseball! <br /><br />This movie isn't perfect though. There are times where I wanted more laughs from the movie than there was. But overall, if you enjoy comedy, then you'll probably find this movie enjoyable. And if you don't, well...you might still appreciate it. If you enjoyed this movie, please tell your friends!<br /><br />My Grade: A+<br /><br />(1/4)	0.500245	0.499755	0.269305	0.730695
If only to avoid making this type of film in the future. This film is interesting as an experiment but tells no cogent story.<br /><br />One might feel virtuous for sitting thru it because it touches on so many IMPORTANT issues but it does so without any discernable motive. The viewer comes away with no new perspectives (unless one comes up with one while one's mind wanders, as it will invariably do during this pointless film).<br /><br />One might better spend one's time staring out a window at a tree growing.<br /><br />	0neg	If only to avoid making	If only to avoid making the same mistake as the 1978 film "The Last Picture Show", I rented this movie. It was a waste of time and money.<br /><br />I'm not sure what exactly is wrong with it, but there are two things that really bother me:<br /><br />Firstly, why do we have to see so many people in their underwear? This is one of those movies where you can't help but think about how much more they could've done if they'd just gone for full-frontal nudity instead of some kind of skimpy outfit. <br /><br />Secondly, the acting is atrocious. The script has no plot whatsoever (except maybe for the fact that the main character's brother gets killed), and most of the characters act like complete morons who don't know anything other than how to get drunk and then go on an adventure. There isn't even any humor or wit involved at all; everyone seems bored out of their minds throughout the entire thing. And yet, despite having such poor writing and acting skills, these actors still manage to pull off ridiculous stunts, which makes them look silly when doing so. For example: One guy walks around wearing his shirt up until he starts getting sunburnt, while another guy jumps from a bridge into the water without ever being able to swim! These guys must be very good at swimming because they're obviously better swimmers than anyone else in the whole movie!<br /><br />It's also interesting to note that the director said during the filming process that he wanted to make a comedy, but ended up creating a horror flick. So maybe he didn't want to make a comedy after all...<br /><br />Overall, I would recommend avoiding this movie completely unless absolutely necessary. If nothing else, it will keep your eyes busy for too long. You'll probably end up watching it twice before it ends. Don't watch it again though - you might actually enjoy yourself. Or skip it altogether. Either way, I suggest skipping this movie entirely. :)<br /><br />(Note: I saw this movie last night on HBO.)<br /><br />'SPOILER ALERT' WARNING!' SPOILERS 'WARNING!' Spoiler alert! Warning! WARNING! WARNING! Please ignore this warning. Do NOT read further.<br /><br />This movie sucks. Seriously, it does suck. But seriously, it doesn't deserve a rating lower than three stars. That's right, three stars. Three stars. THREE STARS!!!	If only to avoid making the same mistake I did. This is a very bad movie, with some of the worst acting in recent memory.<br /><br />The plot was so predictable and cliché ridden that it made me want to turn off my TV and go back to sleep. The characters were one dimensional at best (and even then they had no depth).<br /><br />I would not recommend this film for anyone who likes good movies or wants to see something different from what you've seen before. It's just plain boring. 1/10<br /><br />SPOILER ALERT: <br /><br />(Spoiler Alert) A woman has been kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend, played by John Leguizamo. He kidnaps her husband, played by Michael Imperioli, and takes them all away into an abandoned warehouse where he plans on raping his wife. His accomplice is played by Anthony Rapp, but he gets killed during the kidnapping when he tries to escape. When she wakes up, she finds herself being held captive again. She escapes after trying to kill him once more...but fails miserably. Then she meets another man named Victor (played by James Gandolfini), who seems like a decent guy until he reveals himself as a serial killer who kills women every week. And then there are other people involved in the crime scene investigation...including a cop (played by Paul Sorvino), a detective (played by David Strathairn), and a psychiatrist (played by Peter Weller)...all of whom seem to be connected somehow.<br /><br />This is a really stupid movie. If you're looking for a truly terrible horror flick, look elsewhere! There isn't much gore here either--just a few bloody cuts throughout the whole thing. But if you enjoy watching poorly written, badly acted crap, watch "A Nightmare On Elm Street" instead. 2 outta 10. Spoiler alert. Not recommended. 3/10<br /><br />PS - Did you know that the actor playing Victor actually died? He didn't die because he was evil; he died because he wasn't supposed to exist. That's right--he was created specifically to make sure we wouldn't ever think about killing someone else. So many actors have died doing these kinds of roles over the years, including Christopher Walken, Robert DeNiro, and Jack Nicholson. They should get their heads checked. 4/10<br /><br />PS- Another spoiler warning. Don't bother	If only to avoid making the same mistake I did. It's a shame, because there are some very good things going on here.<br /><br />The story is about two young men who have been sent by their parents to live in an isolated cabin with their father and his wife (who happens to be a womanizer) for 10 years. They meet each other while they're away from home, but don't really know what to do or where to go until one day they come across a beautiful girl named Emily who lives nearby. The boy decides he wants her so much that he goes out of his way to find her...and then when she turns up at his doorstep, everything changes. He falls head over heels in love with her, and she falls for him too.<br /><br />This movie has all the ingredients you could want: romance, humor, suspense, action, etc., etc.. But it fails miserably as far as plot development goes. There isn't enough time to build any kind of character for either of them; neither man can stand still long enough to develop anything resembling depth. And even if we were given more time to explore these characters further, we would never get anywhere near having them fully developed. This film just doesn't work well under such circumstances.<br /><br />It also suffers greatly from poor direction. We see no real reason why the girls should be attracted to this guy - nothing seems to make sense! Also, the camera-work itself looks like something someone might use on a video game. For example, the opening scene shows us a bunch of kids running around the house, which makes me think that maybe the director was trying to show how bored and lonely the boys must feel living alone. Or perhaps he wanted to show how desperate the girls must be to attract attention from the guys.<br /><br />I'm not sure exactly what made this movie great in comparison to others, but it definitely didn't measure up to my expectations. If you've got your eyes open, try to catch it before it gets completely lost in the shuffle among the rest of the crap Hollywood churns out every year. You'll probably regret it. <br /><br />4/10<br /><br />Rating: D+<br /><br />*out of * stars ( = Excellent, = Very Good, = Good, = Average, = Poor) ****** (*****) ****** (***** = Terrible)<br /><br />27 comments: Great review, thanks. I	If only to avoid making the same mistake as my friend who was in a similar situation. I am not going into details, but it's just too much for me to say without hurting anyone else.<br /><br />I have been on this forum since 2003 and have seen many people go through their own personal travails with addiction or mental illness. This is one of them. It has taken years (and some money) to get back up from where we left off. The best advice I can give others is that you must be willing to take care of yourself first before trying anything like this. You will probably find your way out eventually if you are willing to do so! <br /><br />The story starts when someone tells you about an old man they met at a local church meeting. They talk about his life and how he had problems dealing with drugs and alcohol. He told them all about his wife and children, which made me want to leave right then and there. But after reading more about him, I decided to try something different than what I did before. So I went online and started searching for information about this man. After several hours of looking around, I found this website called "Addiction.com". From there, I began researching this guy and learning everything I could about him. Eventually, I learned enough about him to know that he needed help. And once again, I took control of myself by doing things differently than I usually would. I didn't let fear hold me down any longer; instead, I pushed forward towards finding answers and solutions for myself and those closest to me.<br /><br />Now here comes the part that really got me: In order to make progress, I had to commit to getting clean. That meant giving up certain substances such as marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, etc., along with other addictive substances. I also had to change my lifestyle drastically because of these new habits. For example, I stopped drinking coffee and replaced it with tea. I also changed my eating habits dramatically. Now I eat healthy food every day rather than junk food. My friends were shocked at how bad I looked, but I knew better. I wanted to live a happy life and stop being addicted to whatever substance I was using. At times, though, I felt like I couldn't quit even when I tried. However, I refused to allow myself to become dependent upon anything. Instead, I focused on developing good relationships within my family and community. By focusing on positive changes, I slowly became less dependent on substances	0.5	0.5	0.269782	0.730218
This film was probably inspired by Godard's Masculin, féminin and I urge you to see that film instead.<br /><br />The film has two strong elements and those are, (1) the realistic acting (2) the impressive, undeservedly good, photo. Apart from that, what strikes me most is the endless stream of silliness. Lena Nyman has to be most annoying actress in the world. She acts so stupid and with all the nudity in this film,...it's unattractive. Comparing to Godard's film, intellectuality has been replaced with stupidity. Without going too far on this subject, I would say that follows from the difference in ideals between the French and the Swedish society.<br /><br />A movie of its time, and place. 2/10.	0neg	This film was probably inspired	This film was probably inspired by the novel "The House of 10,000 Lanterns" written in 1923. The story is about a group of people who are trying to find out where they came from and why their ancestors were wiped off the map.<br /><br />I found this film very interesting because it showed how different cultures can be if we try to understand them better. It also shows that there are many hidden secrets buried deep within our own history which need to be uncovered before we all start dying out like dinosaurs did (and I'm not talking about the dinosaur deaths).<br /><br />One thing I didn't get at first was what happened with the main character's father. He seemed so normal and peaceful throughout most of the movie until he died. Then suddenly everything changed as his daughter saw him for what he really was: an evil monster! This made me think that maybe my dad wasn't such a bad person afterall...<br /><br />Overall, I thought this was a great film. If you're interested in learning more about other cultures or just want to see some good entertainment then definitely check this one out. But don't expect too much science fiction here--it mostly focuses on finding answers to questions that have been asked long ago but haven't yet been answered. There are no aliens involved either--just ordinary folk who come across strange things along the way. <br /><br />(spoiler) Anyway, enjoy! :) <br /><br />PS - I've seen this film twice now and both times I watched it with friends and we laughed hysterically through the whole thing. That's saying something considering the fact that this film has only two hours running time!! LOL<br /><br />Thanks for reading! :) <br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Eddie	This film was probably inspired by the 1958 film "The Naked Gun", which had a similar premise, but with a much more serious tone. The only difference is that this movie has no plot and just shows us some random people doing things in their lives.<br /><br />I have to say I found it very entertaining. It's not as funny or witty as "Naked Gun" (which also stars John Lithgow), but it does contain enough humor for most viewers. If you like movies about weirdos who do strange things around town then this might be your cup of tea. There are plenty of laughs here and there - especially when one character takes his girlfriend out on a date at an amusement park where he tries to get her to go into a tunnel filled with water while she wears nothing but panties! This movie definitely belongs on DVD shelves next to "Naked Gun".<br /><br />If you're looking for something really good watch "The Naked Gun: A License To Kill." That one is way better than this. But if you want something different try watching "Naked Gun 33400 Miles From Earth" instead.

The plot is very similar to that of "TWT" and it has a lot in common with other films from the same era. However, this one does not have as many memorable moments or characters.<br /><br />I found myself getting bored halfway through the movie because I couldn't care about any character except for the two main leads (the two women).<br /><br />It also seemed like some of the dialogue was forced into the script which made me wonder if they were trying too hard to make something watchable. It wasn't even close to being funny at times! <br /><br />Overall, there are better movies out there than this one but it still did manage to be entertaining enough for my taste. If you want to see an action flick without all the violence then check out "Commando", "Cannibal Holocaust", etc... This one just didn't cut it for me. Maybe next time I'll give it another chance. But until then, I'm sticking with "Twilight Zone: Part II - The Naked Gun Returns". That was much more enjoyable!! :) Thanks again for reading my review. Have a great day!!!<br /><br />(PS: I saw this on DVD last night.)<br /><br />Thanks so much for your comments! They mean a lot to me. You're right though; this isn't worth watching unless you can get past the fact that most people don't enjoy these types of films. There are plenty of good ones out there.

Oh, brother...after hearing about this ridiculous film for umpteen years all I can think of is that old Peggy Lee song..<br /><br />"Is that all there is??" ...I was just an early teen when this smoked fish hit the U.S. I was too young to get in the theater (although I did manage to sneak into "Goodbye Columbus"). Then a screening at a local film museum beckoned - Finally I could see this film, except now I was as old as my parents were when they schlepped to see it!!<br /><br />The ONLY reason this film was not condemned to the anonymous sands of time was because of the obscenity case sparked by its U.S. release. MILLIONS of people flocked to this stinker, thinking they were going to see a sex film...Instead, they got lots of closeups of gnarly, repulsive Swedes, on-street interviews in bland shopping malls, asinie political pretension...and feeble who-cares simulated sex scenes with saggy, pale actors.<br /><br />Cultural icon, holy grail, historic artifact..whatever this thing was, shred it, burn it, then stuff the ashes in a lead box!<br /><br />Elite esthetes still scrape to find value in its boring pseudo revolutionary political spewings..But if it weren't for the censorship scandal, it would have been ignored, then forgotten.<br /><br />Instead, the "I Am Blank, Blank" rhythymed title was repeated endlessly for years as a titilation for porno films (I am Curious, Lavender - for gay films, I Am Curious, Black - for blaxploitation films, etc..) and every ten years or so the thing rises from the dead, to be viewed by a new generation of suckers who want to see that "naughty sex film" that "revolutionized the film industry"...<br /><br />Yeesh, avoid like the plague..Or if you MUST see it - rent the video and fast forward to the "dirty" parts, just to get it over with.<br /><br />	0neg	Oh, brother...after hearing about this	Oh, brother...after hearing about this movie I was so excited. But it is not worth the time and money to see this film.<br /><br />The plot of "The Last Samurai" is a little bit different from other films that are based on historical events (like "Gladiator").<br /><br />It's more like a fantasy story with some action sequences in between. The main character played by Keiichiro Matsuura plays an ordinary man who becomes a samurai after his wife dies because he has lost all respect for women. He goes through many trials before finally becoming a warrior. <br /><br />This film also shows how people can change their lives when they realize what really matters in life: love, honor, loyalty, courage, and selflessness. It tells us that we should never give up our dreams or goals if you want them to come true! And don't forget - there will always be those who won't let you succeed!<br /><br />I'm sure most of the viewers would agree with me here. This film deserves 10/10 stars. You'll feel good just watching it. If you're one of these people then please watch it as soon as possible!! :) <br /><br />(Note: I am NOT saying that this film is better than any other movies made during the same period.)<br /><br />If you have seen this film already, do not go back to tell others that you did not enjoy it. Just stay away from it. Otherwise, you might regret later on. ;) <br /><br />PS: Do not listen to the reviews posted below. They were written by people who didn't even read the script themselves. Please try to avoid such people too. Thank you! :D	Oh, brother...after hearing about this movie for so long I finally decided to see it. It was a good choice because the plot is very original and interesting. The acting is also pretty good.<br /><br />The story revolves around two brothers who are involved in an accident that caused them to be separated by their parents. One of them is killed but he's resurrected into human form (I think) while another guy gets his body back from being buried alive. They're both sent on a quest to find out what happened to the other one before they die again. Along the way there will be some weird encounters with monsters or something like that. There won't be any sex scenes either though, which is probably why I didn't care much about the characters at all.<br /><br />It has its moments too: the fight sequences between the two brothers were really cool; the monster fights were fun as well; the ending was rather nice. But overall it wasn't anything special. If you want to watch a horror film without having to pay money then check out "Cannibal Holocaust" instead. That one had more action than this one did! <br /><br />(spoiler alert)<br /><br />If you liked this flick just don't waste your time watching it. You'll regret it later when you realize how bad it actually is. 2/10 stars. Don't bother if you haven't seen it yet. Just skip over it and go ahead and rent Cannibal Holocaust instead. :)<br /><br />PS: I'm not sure if this movie should have been rated R or NC-17. This would depend on whether the audience wanted to see gore and/or violence. Personally I'd say keep it PG-13 since most people aren't likely to get offended by such things anyway. Maybe you could put it somewhere else? ;) PS2: In case anyone wants to know where I got these quotes from: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0459683/?ref_=tt_ov_ & http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0459683/?ref_=tt_ov_(n) Thanks! :D <br /><br />This site uses cookies to improve user experience.

But after watching the first 20 minutes of it and seeing how bad it is, I had a hard time staying with it.<br /><br />The story has no plot whatsoever, except for some random scenes that are supposed to be "action" but really just filler. The acting isn't even good enough to make up for the lack of any storyline or characters in the film. It's like they were trying too hard to cram everything into one hour-long movie (or maybe an episode on TV).<br /><br />I'm not sure if anyone else saw this because there aren't many reviews here yet, but I think most people will agree that the worst thing you can do when making a horror flick is try to put all your ideas together in one long sequence. That would probably ruin the whole experience anyway. This movie doesn't have anything original going for it at all; it's basically a bunch of low-budget zombies running around killing people without much explanation as to why they're doing what they're doing. There's nothing scary about them either, other than their eyes being red and glowing from within. They look more like zombie bats than actual living things. And since nobody wants to talk about gore, we get to watch these guys kill each other over and over again until someone gets killed off-screen. Oh yeah, and the music? Well, it sounds like some kind of cheesy techno soundtrack mixed with a few death metal riffs thrown in. Don't ask me how they got the idea to use such a crappy sound track, but hey, it works! <br /><br />This movie should never have been made. If only they'd stick to something different. Maybe they could've done something with the concept of zombies instead of focusing on blood splatter. Or maybe they could've tried to add some sort of character development to the main character who seems to be the same person throughout the entire movie. At least he wasn't boring. He did seem to growl and scream quite a bit though. Anyway, don't waste your money on this piece of crap. Go rent something better next time. You won't regret it. Trust me. Good luck. Bye-bye. <br /><br />(Also note: the director's name is actually John Doe.)<br /><br />7/10<br /><br />Review by: [email protected]	Oh, brother...after hearing about this movie on the radio I was determined to see it. The plot is simple: a man who has been in prison for 10 years (and no one knows why) decides he wants out and goes back home with his wife. He meets up with an old friend of his from when they were young - but not before he had killed someone. They end up killing each other again.<br /><br />The acting is very good; especially by the two leads. It's also well done that there are some scenes where you can actually feel what these people are going through as their lives change dramatically after being released. This film could have easily turned into another "Scream" or even a "Friday the 13th"-type slasher flick if the script wasn't so bad. There is nothing really original here though; most of the characters act like they're trying too hard to be scary without succeeding at all. <br /><br />I don't know how many times a person will watch this film and still find themselves laughing hysterically every time something happens! If only more movies would follow suit. But unfortunately we won't get any more until next year's Halloween season. So enjoy your own special day, friends! And please, do NOT waste money on renting this film just because it looks pretty cool. You'll regret it.

I would put this at the top of my list of films in the category of unwatchable trash! There are films that are bad, but the worst kind are the ones that are unwatchable but you are suppose to like them because they are supposed to be good for you! The sex sequences, so shocking in its day, couldn't even arouse a rabbit. The so called controversial politics is strictly high school sophomore amateur night Marxism. The film is self-consciously arty in the worst sense of the term. The photography is in a harsh grainy black and white. Some scenes are out of focus or taken from the wrong angle. Even the sound is bad! And some people call this art?<br /><br />	0neg	I would put this at	I would put this at the bottom of my list because it is a very good movie.

I have seen many, and none are as bad as this one.<br /><br />The plot is so predictable that it's laughable!

The special effects were also very poor.<br /><br />This movie will be remembered forever because it shows how far you can go with your imagination when making movies...and then throw away all other attempts to show what could've been if you'd just kept going.

If you want to see an action flick, check out "Die Hard" or "Top Gun".<br /><br />Don't even bother watching this movie again unless you really need to get rid of it. It won't do any harm to you. Trust me. You'll regret it later.<br /><br />(Note: I'm not saying that every movie has to be great to be considered a masterpiece; however, this movie should definitely be avoided.)	I would put this at the bottom of my list. It was a great movie, but it's not really worth watching if you're looking for something that will make your life better.<br /><br />The story is about an old man who has been trying to find his son and daughter in law (the two people he loves most) since they were children. He finds them both dead on their wedding day 10 years ago. The only thing left from him are some photos of his family which include his wife with her boyfriend and one other person. They have no idea what happened or how he got there...<br /><br />This film made me cry more than any I've seen before. I cried when I thought about all those things that could happen to anyone in our lives. This is truly a very sad film. If you want to see a good sad film then go watch "A Beautiful Mind". But if you don't like sadness then skip this one because it isn't as good. And even though it wasn't perfect, it still had its moments where I felt happy. <br /><br />If you can get past the fact that it doesn't tell us anything new we'll probably enjoy it. I'm sure many people won't be able to understand why these characters did what they did. However, if you do decide to give it a try, please remember that it may take time to fully appreciate it. You might also notice that the ending was different than expected - maybe it just didn't work out quite right for you. All in all, I'd say stick with it! There's nothing wrong with being sad sometimes!<br /><br />(And yes, I know it's called "Bleak House" but the title sounds much worse.)<br /><br />8/10<br /><br />-Morgan	I would put this at the bottom of my list, but I have to say that it is a very good movie.

But overall, it's a pretty good film with lots of action scenes. <br /><br />It also had a really cool soundtrack (the music) so if you liked that sort of thing then you'll probably enjoy this one as well! Also, there are tons of funny lines in here. The best being when they're all trying to get into the elevator...<br /><br />Overall, 8/10<br /><br />(note: i'm from Canada so don't take anything I said seriously!)<br /><br />Thanks for reading! :)	0.730747	0.269253	0.499467	0.500533
Whoever wrote the screenplay for this movie obviously never consulted any books about Lucille Ball, especially her autobiography. I've never seen so many mistakes in a biopic, ranging from her early years in Celoron and Jamestown to her later years with Desi. I could write a whole list of factual errors, but it would go on for pages. In all, I believe that Lucille Ball is one of those inimitable people who simply cannot be portrayed by anyone other than themselves. If I were Lucie Arnaz and Desi, Jr., I would be irate at how many mistakes were made in this film. The filmmakers tried hard, but the movie seems awfully sloppy to me.	0neg	Whoever wrote the screenplay for	Whoever wrote the screenplay for this film should be ashamed of themselves.

It is a complete waste of time and money, not to mention that it's just plain stupid. The plot has no real reason why they would do something like this in the first place. I mean, what was the point? Why did they have to make such an idiotic story about a bunch of people who are all trying to kill each other with guns while being chased by police officers on motorcycles? And how could anyone believe that these people were actually going after one another? They're so dumb! There wasn't even any suspense or anything at all...just some guy running around shooting everybody over his head until he finally gets shot himself (which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever).<br /><br />I can only hope that someone will come up with better ideas than this movie next time.

So, he decides to go undercover as a member of the team and join them in order to get away from them.

Meanwhile, the rest of the gang tries to stop him before he reaches the getaway	Whoever wrote the screenplay for this movie should be ashamed of themselves. The plot is unbelievable, and it's not even a comedy! I laughed at every scene in this film. It was so bad that I actually felt sorry for the actors who had to do such an awful job.<br /><br />I have never seen a worse movie than this one. If you want to see something funny, go watch "The Naked Gun" or "Budgie". These are much better movies. This is just plain stupid. Don't waste your time on this piece of crap.

When I first saw a glimpse of this movie, I quickly noticed the actress who was playing the role of Lucille Ball. Rachel York's portrayal of Lucy is absolutely awful. Lucille Ball was an astounding comedian with incredible talent. To think about a legend like Lucille Ball being portrayed the way she was in the movie is horrendous. I cannot believe out of all the actresses in the world who could play a much better Lucy, the producers decided to get Rachel York. She might be a good actress in other roles but to play the role of Lucille Ball is tough. It is pretty hard to find someone who could resemble Lucille Ball, but they could at least find someone a bit similar in looks and talent. If you noticed York's portrayal of Lucy in episodes of I Love Lucy like the chocolate factory or vitavetavegamin, nothing is similar in any way-her expression, voice, or movement.<br /><br />To top it all off, Danny Pino playing Desi Arnaz is horrible. Pino does not qualify to play as Ricky. He's small and skinny, his accent is unreal, and once again, his acting is unbelievable. Although Fred and Ethel were not similar either, they were not as bad as the characters of Lucy and Ricky.<br /><br />Overall, extremely horrible casting and the story is badly told. If people want to understand the real life situation of Lucille Ball, I suggest watching A&E Biography of Lucy and Desi, read the book from Lucille Ball herself, or PBS' American Masters: Finding Lucy. If you want to see a docudrama, "Before the Laughter" would be a better choice. The casting of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in "Before the Laughter" is much better compared to this. At least, a similar aspect is shown rather than nothing.	0neg	When I first saw a	When I first saw a preview of this film, it was obvious that the director had not seen anything other than his own work. The plot is simple: two brothers (the main characters) are in prison for murder and their father has been accused as well.<br /><br />The movie starts with them being taken to a cell where they all have to sit on chairs while some guards stand around looking at them. They then get out and walk down a hallway which leads into another room full of prisoners who seem to be sitting there watching them. Then we see scenes from each brother's life up until he gets caught by the police.<br /><br />This story is very similar to "Raising Victor Vargas" but without any real depth or reason behind why these men were put away. It also lacks action and suspense. This could easily be an average low budget horror flick if you ignore the fact that it stars John Lithgow, one of my favorite actors, playing a villainous character. He plays him like a normal guy trying to make things right after getting involved in a crime. The rest of the cast is pretty good though including Michael Imperioli as the lead detective who seems to know more about what happened here than anyone else does. Also, the music score is really nice. Overall, this isn't bad but nothing special either. 4/10<br /><br />Title (Brazil): "O Coração do Senhor dos Anjos" ("Father of the Son") <br /><br />(Romanian): "Cântea de Olimpia" ("The Battle Of Olympus")<br /><br />My Grade: A-+ (out of four)<br /><br />*SPOILER ALERT<br /><br />If you want something fast paced, violent and exciting, watch "Raising Victor Vargas".

It wasn't.

They get into a car accident and are taken care of by a nurse who has been helping these people since childhood...and she's not even old enough yet!<br /><br />This isn't really supposed to happen but it does because there are no other explanations given as to why these people have been taking care of them or what happened before. There are also a lot of characters with names that sound very familiar - how many times do we need to hear about someone named 'John'?!<br /><br />There aren't any redeeming qualities whatsoever here. If you're looking for something to watch then skip this one. But if you want to sit through 90 minutes of nothingness, then give it a try. You'll probably enjoy yourself more than most movies out there.<br /><br />(Also note that when the doctor tells John he needs to take his medication at night instead of during the day, he says "It's just medicine.")<br /><br />'Screamers' is rated R due to strong violence, gore, sexual content, language, drug use, and nudity. <br /><br />Rating: D+1/2 from IMDb<br /><br />*1/2 from DVD Reviewer Rating 1/4 from Video Reviewer Rating 1/3 from Amazon.com Rating *1/5 from Movie Guide Rating ******1/6 from LibraryThing Rating *1/8 from IMDB Rating 1/7 from Metacritic Rating 1/5 from TV Guide Rating 1/4 from CinemaScore Rating 1/4 from Rotten Tomatoes Rating *1/5 from Box Office Mojo Rating 1/5 from Imdb.com Rating *1/5 from Vulture Rating 1/5 from Flickering Red Rating 1/5 from Audible Rating 1/5 from BFI Screen Awards Rating 1/5 from Cinequest Rating 1/5 from Cinemania Rating 1/5 from Fangoria Rating 1/5 from Film Threat Rating **1/	When I first saw a preview of this movie, it was on the "Rotten Tomatoes" list.

After all, if you're going to make a horror film about vampires, why not have some good old-fashioned bloodshed? The plot is pretty much what you'd expect: two college students are invited by their professor (a vampire) to go camping in his secluded cabin for three days while he's away. They end up being picked off one-by-one with no warning whatsoever or any indication as to who they'll be killed next! <br /><br />The acting isn't great either; most of them just seem like teenagers trying too hard to act scary. But there were a few decent performances here and those did help keep me interested throughout the entire thing. One character actually seemed to get scared at least once during the whole ordeal!<br /><br />There wasn't really anything original about this flick though--it could've been made into a straight-to-video slasher flick without even making much effort towards creating suspense or gore. There weren't many scares or twists along the way and the ending left something unsatisfied...but then again, so does every other movie released today. So don't waste your time watching this poor excuse for a film unless you want to see how bad movies can still suck.<br /><br />If you enjoyed this film, check out my review of "Vampires Are Real!" which also has some creepy moments but doesn't quite match up to this one. If you liked this movie, check out another movie called "Cult Of Blood".<br /><br />Rating: /20<br /><br />/50 (out of **) - Not worth seeing because of its lackluster script, mediocre acting, and predictable story line.

It's about a man who is trying to kill himself and his wife because he has been having an affair with another woman. He gets help from the police but when they find out what really happened, things get even more crazy.<br /><br />I found myself wondering if there would be any good parts in this film or not. There were some funny moments that made me laugh (like how the cop tried to take him away), but overall, I didn't think much of it at all. The acting wasn't great either...<br /><br />The only thing that kept my interest throughout the whole time was the fact that it had a lot of gore scenes!

Who are these "They"- the actors? the filmmakers? Certainly couldn't be the audience- this is among the most air-puffed productions in existence. It's the kind of movie that looks like it was a lot of fun to shoot TOO much fun, nobody is getting any actual work done, and that almost always makes for a movie that's no fun to watch.<br /><br />Ritter dons glasses so as to hammer home his character's status as a sort of doppleganger of the bespectacled Bogdanovich; the scenes with the breezy Ms. Stratten are sweet, but have an embarrassing, look-guys-I'm-dating-the-prom-queen feel to them. Ben Gazzara sports his usual cat's-got-canary grin in a futile attempt to elevate the meager plot, which requires him to pursue Audrey Hepburn with all the interest of a narcoleptic at an insomnia clinic. In the meantime, the budding couple's respective children (nepotism alert: Bogdanovich's daughters) spew cute and pick up some fairly disturbing pointers on 'love' while observing their parents. (Ms. Hepburn, drawing on her dignity, manages to rise above the proceedings- but she has the monumental challenge of playing herself, ostensibly.) Everybody looks great, but so what? It's a movie and we can expect that much, if that's what you're looking for you'd be better off picking up a copy of Vogue.<br /><br />Oh- and it has to be mentioned that Colleen Camp thoroughly annoys, even apart from her singing, which, while competent, is wholly unconvincing... the country and western numbers are woefully mismatched with the standards on the soundtrack. Surely this is NOT what Gershwin (who wrote the song from which the movie's title is derived) had in mind; his stage musicals of the 20's may have been slight, but at least they were long on charm. "They All Laughed" tries to coast on its good intentions, but nobody- least of all Peter Bogdanovich - has the good sense to put on the brakes.<br /><br />Due in no small part to the tragic death of Dorothy Stratten, this movie has a special place in the heart of Mr. Bogdanovich- he even bought it back from its producers, then distributed it on his own and went bankrupt when it didn't prove popular. His rise and fall is among the more sympathetic and tragic of Hollywood stories, so there's no joy in criticizing the film... there _is_ real emotional investment in Ms. Stratten's scenes. But "Laughed" is a faint echo of "The Last Picture Show", "Paper Moon" or "What's Up, Doc"- following "Daisy Miller" and "At Long Last Love", it was a thundering confirmation of the phase from which P.B. has never emerged.<br /><br />All in all, though, the movie is harmless, only a waste of rental. I want to watch people having a good time, I'll go to the park on a sunny day. For filmic expressions of joy and love, I'll stick to Ernest Lubitsch and Jaques Demy...	0neg	Who are these "They"- the	Who are these "They"- the actors who play the characters in this movie? I've seen them all, and they're not even remotely good. The only one that is worth watching is the guy playing the lead character (who plays his part as if he were a 7 year old boy). He's really cute though.<br /><br />The plot of this film was so unbelievable it made me want to throw up. It had some great moments but most of the time you just wanted to turn off your TV and go home because there wasn't anything else on. This movie should be banned from being shown at any theater or school for fear that someone will die when they watch it. If you have kids under ten years old don't let them see this movie unless they're very brave! They'll probably get sick after seeing it. <br /><br />I'm sorry, but I can't recommend this movie to anyone. Don't waste your money on it. You won't regret it. And I hope no-one dies while watching it either. That would be too sad!<br /><br />(This review contains spoilers)	Who are these "They"- the people who claim to be Christians? They're just a bunch of people with no real faith in Jesus Christ. I'm not sure what they think, but it's hard for me to believe that anyone can say this: "I am going to hell because I don't like Jesus." It seems very odd and ridiculous.<br /><br />The movie is full of lies about Christianity. The main character (a Christian) says he was baptized by an angel; then later on we see him being told he has been saved only through his own efforts. He also claims to have seen God himself before. This is obviously false since there isn't any evidence or proof of anything other than his own words.<br /><br />Another lie is that Jesus said he died on the cross so everyone could go back home safely. No such thing happened! There were many deaths during Jesus' life as well as crucifixion itself. And even if all those had occurred at one time, how did Jesus die again after resurrecting from the dead?<br /><br />Lastly, the film shows that Jesus was born into slavery in Egypt. That would explain why he didn't want to leave Egypt when asked to take up residence there instead of Jerusalem. In fact, the slave owner made clear that he wanted to keep him there until Jesus returned. So you'd expect the Bible to show that Jesus came out of Egypt without having to stay there long enough to make his point.<br /><br />All in all, I found the film quite boring and unconvincing. If you're looking for some good entertainment, look elsewhere. But if you really do need to know more about Jesus, watch "Jesus" first. Then read the book "The Gospel According To Mark". You'll find much better information here than you will get from this piece of crap called "The Last Supper".<br /><br />(This review contains spoilers.)<br /><br />10/10<br /><br />Rating: 3.5 stars out of 4. <br /><br />Title (Brazil): "O Cristo Rodeu-se na Terra" ("Christ rode the earth")<br /><br />Director: José Luis Sáenz de Heredia<br /><br />Writer(s): José Luis Sáenz de Heredia<br /><br />Stars (Brazil): Pedro Lopes, Luiz Fernando Ferreira, Marcelino Pinto, Maria Cristina Gomes, Ricardo Carvalho, Aline Costa, Claudio Moraes,	Who are these "They"- the people who claim to be a group of young, talented musicians and singers? They're just amateurs. The only reason I'm writing this review is because they've been on my list for years now.<br /><br />I was born in 1970 (wow!), but I have never seen an American movie before or since that didn't make me laugh out loud with laughter! This film has it all: from the beautiful scenery, great acting, good music, and even some decent humor!<br /><br />The story revolves around two friends - John and Michael. Both are very funny men, both love movies, and both enjoy watching them together. But one day when their friend dies, they decide to take revenge by killing him so he won't come back into their lives again. So off they go to kill his killer, played perfectly by Bruce Willis.<br /><br />This is not your typical action flick; instead you get a lot more than what you expect. There's lots of comedy, there's plenty of bloodshed, there's tons of sex, and most importantly...there's a really cool soundtrack which plays throughout the whole movie as well. It also contains a few scenes where we see the actors' faces while they talk about the plot, which makes us feel like we know exactly how everything happens during the movie. And if you don't understand English, then watch it without subtitles.<br /><br />If you haven't watched any American films yet, give this one a try. You'll definitely want to rent it someday! If you do, please tell me why you loved it! What were your favorite parts? Is there anything else you'd recommend?<br /><br />(Also check out the other reviews here at IMDb.com) <br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Ricky<br /><br />Rating: **<br /><br />SPOILER ALERT**<br /><br />It starts out slow, but once things pick up, it becomes quite interesting. In fact, it gets better each time through. A couple of times, I found myself laughing hysterically until tears started streaming down my face. Then, after seeing the end, I felt pretty sad too.<br /><br />There are several moments that will leave you thinking 'what did I just saw?' For example:<br /><br />When John tells Michael that he wants to marry her, she says 'No!' When John asks Michael if he likes her, she replies 'Oh no, not at first.'	Who are these "They"- the people who have been left behind by the other side of this war? It's hard to say. They're all dead or just don't want to talk about it.<br /><br />The movie is a bit slow at times and there isn't much action, but I found myself rooting for the good guys throughout the whole thing (and that includes the Japanese).<br /><br />I thought the ending was very satisfying. The film has some great moments - especially when the Japanese soldiers are trying to escape from the desert after being shot down in their plane...but overall, I think they were too far away from the main story line to really get involved with them. But if you like movies set during WWII then you'll probably enjoy this one! 8/10<br /><br />(Note: This review contains spoilers) <br /><br />'saw"Men In Black II" today on cable TV. I've seen many reviews here saying how bad it is because of its lack of originality compared to the first two films. Well, let me tell you something; I didn't care what happened next. There wasn't anything new in this sequel either. And it had nothing to do with the first two films. If you can take my word for it, skip this one entirely!<br /><br />It starts out as usual with the team of Agent Smith (played by Will Smith), Dr. John Harrison (voiced by Kevin Spacey), Agent T'Challa (voiced by Josh Brolin) and Agent Phryne (voiced by Cybill Shepherd) heading off to Africa to investigate an ancient artifact which may be able to stop time itself. Unfortunately, things go wrong pretty quickly and we find ourselves back in New York City where we meet up with our old friends and enemies, including Agent Carter (Kathryn Bigelow). We also learn more about the mysterious man known as "Mr. Freeze", played by Ben Affleck, who seems to know everything about us agents.<br /><br />In short, this movie doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Even though the plot is similar to those made before, it still feels completely different. Plus, it takes place in a totally different setting than the previous three films. So why bother?<br /><br />If you enjoyed the first two movies, then you will likely love this sequel even more. However, if you haven't yet seen the first two films, you might not appreciate this one nearly as much. Overall, I'd recommend skipping	0.499997	0.500003	0.728896	0.271104
This is said to be a personal film for Peter Bogdonavitch. He based it on his life but changed things around to fit the characters, who are detectives. These detectives date beautiful models and have no problem getting them. Sounds more like a millionaire playboy filmmaker than a detective, doesn't it? This entire movie was written by Peter, and it shows how out of touch with real people he was. You're supposed to write what you know, and he did that, indeed. And leaves the audience bored and confused, and jealous, for that matter. This is a curio for people who want to see Dorothy Stratten, who was murdered right after filming. But Patti Hanson, who would, in real life, marry Keith Richards, was also a model, like Stratten, but is a lot better and has a more ample part. In fact, Stratten's part seemed forced; added. She doesn't have a lot to do with the story, which is pretty convoluted to begin with. All in all, every character in this film is somebody that very few people can relate with, unless you're millionaire from Manhattan with beautiful supermodels at your beckon call. For the rest of us, it's an irritating snore fest. That's what happens when you're out of touch. You entertain your few friends with inside jokes, and bore all the rest.	0neg	This is said to be	This is said to be the worst movie I have ever seen. The acting was horrible, especially from the lead actress who looked like she had been in a porno for 10 years and her hair style was so bad that it made me want to punch my head into a wall.<br /><br />The plot was just stupid. It seemed as if they were trying to make a comedy out of this film but failed miserably. There are some really great lines here though: "I'm gonna take you down" -<br /><br />And then there's the scene where the characters are all running around looking for their keys when suddenly one of them runs over a dead body! <br /><br />What did I expect? A horror flick with a twist ending?! Nope!<br /><br />If you're going to watch a movie about a serial killer, why not try something more original than this? If you can't come up with anything better, don't even bother watching this thing...you'll regret it later on.<br /><br />(spoiler) And by the way, what do you get when you mix a bunch of people together at random locations without any sort of plan or strategy whatsoever?<br /><br />Oh yeah, another example of how to waste your time (and money): a guy gets his girlfriend kidnapped while he goes off to find her. He walks through a forest only to stumble upon a group of cannibals eating each other alive. Then he finds himself being chased by these cannibalistic creatures until finally he manages to escape.<br /><br />That's right folks, those guys are actually cannibals! They turn him back into a human again before killing him. Oh wait, maybe they killed him first and then turned him back into a human, which would explain everything else happening afterwards.<br /><br />So basically, after escaping from the cannibal gang, he meets a girl named Jenny. She seems nice enough, but soon learns that he has no intentions of marrying her because he wants to kill her instead. So naturally, Jenny decides to help him catch the killers.<br /><br />Then things go awry...<br /><br />Well, let's see....the cannibals seem to be having fun hunting down the killer. But then the killer starts turning into humans too. This makes sense since the cannibal gang apparently ate everyone alive during the kidnapping incident. Now, we know that the killer is an evil maniac, but why does he keep doing such terrible things to innocent	This is said to be the best movie in the series. I have seen it 3 times now and each time i get a different feeling from this one.<br /><br />I'm not sure if it's because of the characters or the story, but they are all so well written that you can't help but feel for them even when they're being mean. The only thing that annoys me about this movie is that there isn't any sex scenes at all! It would've been great!<br /><br />The plot was also very good as far as movies go. There were some twists along the way which kept my interest going throughout the entire film. I think the ending made sense too, since we know how things ended up with the first movie.<br /><br />Overall, I give this movie an A+. If anyone has never heard of it before, then don't worry - it will make you laugh out loud every single time you watch it. And yes, I did say "every" time...<br /><br />(Note: This review contains spoilers) <br /><br />spoilers<br /><br />If you haven't seen this yet, please do. You won't regret it!

When the girls come back home after their trip to Paris. They look like they could use a little love right about now...<br /><br />Thanks for reading everyone! :)<br /><br />-CJ<br /><br />10/20/06	This is said to be a great film, but I don't think it was. It's not that the story isn't good or anything like that; just that there are so many flaws in this movie.<br /><br />First of all, the acting is terrible and very wooden (especially by the lead actress). The actors who play the two main characters have no chemistry whatsoever with each other - they're both annoying as hell! They seem to be trying too hard for something else besides being able to act well...<br /><br />The plot itself seems pretty weak at times, especially towards the end when things get really complicated. There were some scenes where you could tell that people were actually watching the whole thing because the ending seemed rushed and unexplained. Also, the music wasn't exactly what I expected either: it sounded more like "Romeo & Juliet" than anything original.<br /><br />I also thought that the special effects were rather poor compared to most movies nowadays. Some of them looked fake and even worse was how badly the camera work was used (the one scene where the car goes over the bridge looks completely out-of-place)..<br /><br />All in all, if you want to see an action-packed thriller without any real suspense or tension then go ahead and rent this movie. Otherwise, avoid it at all costs!<br /><br />3/10<br /><br />-SPOILER ALERT- <br /><br />(Spoiler Alert!)<br /><br />* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *	This is said to be the most beautiful movie ever made. I have seen it several times and can't get enough of it.<br /><br />The story is about a young woman who has been married for 10 years, but she still feels like her husband cheated on her with another woman. She decides that if he doesn't love her back then they are going to divorce and start over. The problem comes when his new wife starts coming around unexpectedly (and not in a good way).<br /><br />I think this was one of the best movies I've ever watched. It's very well written and acted by all involved. If you haven't already seen it, do so now! You won't regret it!<br /><br />My favorite scene involves a group of people walking down an alleyway and suddenly there's a car speeding up behind them. They look at each other and realize what just happened...they were driving their own cars into the wall! And that's how we got our name: "Wall Street".<br /><br />It also had some great music as did every single film I saw from this director. This guy really knows how to make a good soundtrack. He even wrote the theme song which is quite catchy. <br /><br />All in all, a must see for anyone interested in art or history. A classic indeed. My vote is nine out of ten. Enjoy! :) -Kevn	0.269249	0.730751	0.269248	0.730752
It was great to see some of my favorite stars of 30 years ago including John Ritter, Ben Gazarra and Audrey Hepburn. They looked quite wonderful. But that was it. They were not given any characters or good lines to work with. I neither understood or cared what the characters were doing.<br /><br />Some of the smaller female roles were fine, Patty Henson and Colleen Camp were quite competent and confident in their small sidekick parts. They showed some talent and it is sad they didn't go on to star in more and better films. Sadly, I didn't think Dorothy Stratten got a chance to act in this her only important film role.<br /><br />The film appears to have some fans, and I was very open-minded when I started watching it. I am a big Peter Bogdanovich fan and I enjoyed his last movie, "Cat's Meow" and all his early ones from "Targets" to "Nickleodeon". So, it really surprised me that I was barely able to keep awake watching this one.<br /><br />It is ironic that this movie is about a detective agency where the detectives and clients get romantically involved with each other. Five years later, Bogdanovich's ex-girlfriend, Cybil Shepherd had a hit television series called "Moonlighting" stealing the story idea from Bogdanovich. Of course, there was a great difference in that the series relied on tons of witty dialogue, while this tries to make do with slapstick and a few screwball lines.<br /><br />Bottom line: It ain't no "Paper Moon" and only a very pale version of "What's Up, Doc".	0neg	It was great to see	It was great to see the movie again and it is a very good one. I have seen this film many times, but when i saw it on TV for the first time in 2009, i just loved it so much that i had to watch it over and over again.<br /><br />I love all of the characters from this movie: the father (who's name escapes me), the mother, the daughter, the son, the friend who helps him out at his job...all are wonderful people with their own unique personalities. The story line is amazing as well! It has twists and turns you will not be able to figure out until the end. You can't help but feel sorry for these guys because they're stuck in such bad situations. They need each other more than anything else!<br /><br />The acting is excellent too. Everyone does an outstanding job. There isn't any really bad actors here; everyone plays their parts perfectly. If there were some mistakes or errors in the script, it would ruin the whole thing. But even if there were, it wouldn't matter since we still enjoy watching it.<br /><br />This is definitely worth seeing if your looking for something different. This is my favorite comedy ever. And don't forget about the music either. Who doesn't like "My Girl" by Elvis? <br /><br />(PS- I'm sure you'll agree that the ending is perfect!)<br /><br />Watch it!!! You won't regret it!! :)<br /><br />Thanks again to the creators of this classic movie! You've done us proud!!!!!!!!! :D<br /><br />P.S.- Do yourself a favor and rent this movie whenever possible - you'll never look back! ;)	It was great to see the original "The Wizard of Oz" on film. I have seen it many times and always enjoy watching it again.<br /><br />I am a big fan of this movie, but not as much as the original one. The new version is very different from the first one in terms of story line, characters and acting. It also has some flaws that make me think that they should have made another version with better actors (like the original).<br /><br />But still, if you are a fan of this classic fairy tale, then watch it! You will love it!<br /><br />My vote: 8/10<br /><br />(Note: This review may contain spoilers)	It was great to see the original "The Wizard of Oz" on TV. I had never seen it before, and thought that this version would be a lot better than the one shown in the movie theaters.<br /><br />I watched it with my 10 year old daughter (who is just starting out as an actress) and she loved it! She has always been interested in Disney movies since her first visit to Disneyland when we were kids. This time around, however, she really enjoyed watching Dorothy's journey through the land of Oz. It wasn't until then that she realized how much more interesting they could make these stories if you put them together into a film.<br /><br />In fact, I think that most children will enjoy seeing The Wizard of Oz again because there are so many new things added to the story: A talking horse; a flying broomstick; a magical castle filled with magic potions; and even a little bit about the history behind the book itself.<br /><br />My favorite part of all of this was when Dorothy met Scarecrow. He made me laugh at his antics throughout the entire show--especially after he tried to eat Dorothy for lunch. And what did he do? He ate her sandwich! That was hilarious!<br /><br />Overall, I highly recommend this version of "The Wizard of Oz." My only complaint was that it took longer than usual to get to the end credits...but other than that, it was fantastic!!<br /><br />(This review contains spoilers.)<br /><br />PS - If you have not yet seen this version of "The Wizard of Oz," please check it out soon!!!

I can't believe that those praising this movie herein aren't thinking of some other film. I was prepared for the possibility that this would be awful, but the script (or lack thereof) makes for a film that's also pointless. On the plus side, the general level of craft on the part of the actors and technical crew is quite competent, but when you've got a sow's ear to work with you can't make a silk purse. Ben G fans should stick with just about any other movie he's been in. Dorothy S fans should stick to Galaxina. Peter B fans should stick to Last Picture Show and Target. Fans of cheap laughs at the expense of those who seem to be asking for it should stick to Peter B's amazingly awful book, Killing of the Unicorn.	0neg	I can't believe that those	I can't believe that those who have written this movie are so ignorant as to not realize the difference between a "movie" and an action film. I am 17 years old, but it is obvious from my comments here on IMDb.com that most of you are at least 25 or older.<br /><br />This movie was horrible! The acting was terrible (especially by John Ritter), the plot was predictable, and there were too many scenes where the characters just stood around in front of each other for no reason whatsoever except to make them look stupid. What's worse than watching these people stand around? Watching their faces change color like they're trying to figure out what to say next...<br /><br />The only thing about this movie that made me laugh was when one character said something along the lines of: "...and then we'll be all right."<br /><br />It really wasn't funny until the end when the bad guys decided to shoot everyone with a shotgun because they thought they had won. That scene alone should've been enough to get your attention off the whole movie.<br /><br />There were some decent moments though; especially when the main character gets his girlfriend pregnant after being dumped by her boyfriend. This guy definitely has potential if he keeps working hard at improving his performance skills.<br /><br />My advice would be to avoid this movie unless you want to see a bunch of idiots standing around in front of each other yelling at each other over nothing. It will probably take more effort to watch this movie than to sit through any of the movies listed above. You may also find yourself wishing that you never watched this movie again. And don't even think about asking anyone else to do anything related to this movie - they might ask themselves why they agreed to help pay for it anyway!<br /><br />(Note: If someone asks how much money I paid for this movie, please tell him/her that I gave away $30.)<br /><br />PS- My name is Robert, not John.

The plot is weak, and there's no chemistry between any of the characters.<br /><br />The acting was terrible, especially from the lead actress (who I thought might be good).<br /><br />It just didn't make sense at all, and had some pretty bad lines in it too. It seemed like they were trying to cram everything into one hour or less... but failed miserably! <br /><br />There wasn't even enough time for me to get my bearings on what was going on - which made things worse because you couldn't figure out if anything happened until later on.<br /><br />And then when they finally did show up, they weren't very convincing either. They looked really fake and unconvincing throughout the whole thing.<br /><br />If you're looking for an action flick with lots of explosions, bloodshed, and violence, watch "Die Hard" instead. If not, don't waste your money on this film. You'll probably end up disappointed anyway. And worst yet: you won't want to rent it again unless you absolutely must. Don't do it!<br /><br />(Note: This review contains spoilers.)<br /><br />Rating: D+ (out of five) by IMDb user "Buddy" (2/5 stars)<br /><br />My Rating: F- (out of five) by IMDb user "joshua" (3/4 stars)	I can't believe that those who claim this is a great movie, have never seen it. It's just plain bad. I'm not sure if the director made it or not because there are no lines in the film at all and you don't even know what happens until the end of the film.<br /><br />The plot was so predictable (and stupid) that one could easily see them coming before they started. The acting wasn't too bad but nothing special either.<br /><br />There were some good moments though like when the main character's girlfriend gets kidnapped by the killer (who looks exactly like his father). This scene had me laughing out loud for about 10 minutes straight! <br /><br />This movie has absolutely NO redeeming qualities whatsoever. If you're looking to watch an action flick then go ahead and rent "Die Hard" instead, but otherwise avoid this one completely. You'll be glad you didn't waste your time with this piece of crap. Go figure...<br /><br />(spoilers...)<br /><br />-SPOILER ALERT -<br /><br />When the guy starts beating up on the girl he says something along the lines of: "You've got to be kidding." Then after she tells him how much she loves her boyfriend, he goes off and kills her. He also beats up another person as well. When he finally figures out what happened to the other victim, he walks over to the body and proceeds to beat the living daylights out of it. After killing the first two people, he decides to kill the third one since he thinks he killed both girls. But wait...he doesn't kill the third victim...he only kills the fourth victim. That means that the second victim died from being beaten down while the third victim died from getting hit on the head with a hammer. So now we have three different victims dead!<br /><br />He then realizes that he must have gotten the wrong number when he called the police because they wouldn't pick up the phone. They said they would come back later. Well, guess what? He still hasn't picked up the phone yet. And the next thing you know, he's already running around town chasing the kid. In fact, he keeps going after her till she runs into a tree. At that point, he takes her home and puts her right where she fell last night. She wakes up screaming and crying. Then he comes back and finds her lying on top of the bed. He picks her up and carries her upstairs to the	I can't believe that those who have seen this movie and then say it's the best thing they've ever seen are so gullible. I saw it in a theater with my 10 year old daughter, she loved it but I was shocked at how much of an idiot everyone else seemed to be.<br /><br />This is probably one of the worst movies I've ever seen because it has no plot whatsoever (the only reason I watched it anyway)and yet somehow manages to make me feel like I'm part of something important happening. It seems as if every time someone says "this movie sucks" or "it sucked!" you're supposed to think about what some other person said instead. The acting is terrible and there isn't even any humor! If you want to see a good horror film watch "The Ring", "Halloween II", "Friday the 13th Part III: Evil Dead", "Scream", "Cabin Fever". They all had great plots and were well acted. This movie just doesn't work for me...or anyone else. <br /><br />If you don't mind watching a bunch of people get killed by each other, go ahead - it might actually be fun. But if you do mind seeing awful actors doing horrible things, stay away from this movie. You'll regret it when your kids start asking why their dad got shot in the head while trying to kill his friends!<br /><br />(Sorry for the spoiler warning...)<br /><br />PS- Do not rent this movie on DVD unless you really need a cheap rental copy. There aren't many copies left and most of them will rip video files. Check out Amazon.com for more info. Or check out eBay.com where you may find a used copy. In fact, check ebay.com for anything related to this movie and you should find it easily enough. Just beware of the seller being a friend of mine. He usually gets rid of stuff he finds on ebay. And that means he won't let you buy it back if you sue him for ripping off his own product. Oh yeah, and also beware of the seller saying that the item is "used." That means he didn't sell it himself but rather bought it from another buyer. So take that into account before buying it. Also, remember that if you end up getting ripped off, you could file a lawsuit against the seller yourself. Even though he sold it to you without telling you. Don't waste money renting this crap. Go rent something better next time. :) <br /><	0.5	0.5	0.499999	0.500001
Never cast models and Playboy bunnies in your films! Bob Fosse's "Star 80" about Dorothy Stratten, of whom Bogdanovich was obsessed enough to have married her SISTER after her murder at the hands of her low-life husband, is a zillion times more interesting than Dorothy herself on the silver screen. Patty Hansen is no actress either..I expected to see some sort of lost masterpiece a la Orson Welles but instead got Audrey Hepburn cavorting in jeans and a god-awful "poodlesque" hair-do....Very disappointing...."Paper Moon" and "The Last Picture Show" I could watch again and again. This clunker I could barely sit through once. This movie was reputedly not released because of the brouhaha surrounding Ms. Stratten's tawdry death; I think the real reason was because it was so bad!	0neg	Never cast models and Playboy	Never cast models and Playboy Playmates in this movie.

They are not actors, but rather a bunch of women who were chosen to play the characters because they had beautiful bodies (or at least looked like they did). The plot is about an aspiring model named Lisa (played by Katie Holmes) trying to get into modeling class when she meets her new friend Kate (Jennifer Aniston), who happens to be one of the most popular girls in school. She tries out for the modeling classes with her old boyfriend Paul (Bradley Cooper) and ends up being rejected every time he goes on stage. After that, Lisa decides to go after Kate instead.<br /><br />The acting was pretty good overall; however, the script was terrible. It's hard to believe that this film would have been made if it wasn't for some really bad writing. I think there might have been something redeeming about the story line though - maybe the fact that we're supposed to care about these people? But even then, the whole thing just seemed so contrived and unbelievable. There isn't much going on here other than the two main characters getting together and having sex, which takes place only once during the entire movie. And what happened to all those nude scenes? That part was unnecessary! We didn't need them anyway...<br /><br />I'm sure you can see where I am headed now: 10/10. This movie should've gotten a lot better if it weren't for the lackluster screenplay. If you want to watch a fun chick flick without any nudity or explicit language, check out "Beautiful Girls" from 2004. Or rent "Pretty Woman", which also has no nudity whatsoever. In short, don't waste your money on this garbage. Save yourself $7.50 and enjoy the movies that actually do make sense. You'll thank me later.

In my opinion he/she doesn't deserve to call themselves "director". He/she should stick to making films like this one which are obviously made on someone else's budget.<br /><br />PS3: My wife says she saw this movie when we went shopping yesterday afternoon and said something along the lines of 'it must've been good'. She also told us how much fun she had going through her wardrobe trying to find clothes similar to those shown in the movie. We both laughed heartily as we watched it together. What can I say? I am a big fan of fashion magazines and even though I don't think I'll ever go into modelling again after seeing this movie, I still enjoy browsing them every once in a while. :D<br /><br />PS4: As far as I'm concerned, this movie deserves its low rating. There isn't enough nudity here to justify such a low score. Also, I didn't see the point of having lots of beautiful women in front of the camera.

Its not the cast. A finer group of actors, you could not find. Its not the setting. The director is in love with New York City, and by the end of the film, so are we all! Woody Allen could not improve upon what Bogdonovich has done here. If you are going to fall in love, or find love, Manhattan is the place to go. No, the problem with the movie is the script. There is none. The actors fall in love at first sight, words are unnecessary. In the director's own experience in Hollywood that is what happens when they go to work on the set. It is reality to him, and his peers, but it is a fantasy to most of us in the real world. So, in the end, the movie is hollow, and shallow, and message-less.	0neg	Its not the cast.

Today I found "They All Laughed" on VHS on sale in a rental. It was a really old and very used VHS, I had no information about this movie, but I liked the references listed on its cover: the names of Peter Bogdanovich, Audrey Hepburn, John Ritter and specially Dorothy Stratten attracted me, the price was very low and I decided to risk and buy it. I searched IMDb, and the User Rating of 6.0 was an excellent reference. I looked in "Mick Martin & Marsha Porter Video & DVD Guide 2003" and wow four stars! So, I decided that I could not waste more time and immediately see it. Indeed, I have just finished watching "They All Laughed" and I found it a very boring overrated movie. The characters are badly developed, and I spent lots of minutes to understand their roles in the story. The plot is supposed to be funny (private eyes who fall in love for the women they are chasing), but I have not laughed along the whole story. The coincidences, in a huge city like New York, are ridiculous. Ben Gazarra as an attractive and very seductive man, with the women falling for him as if her were a Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas or George Clooney, is quite ridiculous. In the end, the greater attractions certainly are the presence of the Playboy centerfold and playmate of the year Dorothy Stratten, murdered by her husband pretty after the release of this movie, and whose life was showed in "Star 80" and "Death of a Centerfold: The Dorothy Stratten Story"; the amazing beauty of the sexy Patti Hansen, the future Mrs. Keith Richards; the always wonderful, even being fifty-two years old, Audrey Hepburn; and the song "Amigo", from Roberto Carlos. Although I do not like him, Roberto Carlos has been the most popular Brazilian singer since the end of the 60's and is called by his fans as "The King". I will keep this movie in my collection only because of these attractions (manly Dorothy Stratten). My vote is four.<br /><br />Title (Brazil): "Muito Riso e Muita Alegria" ("Many Laughs and Lots of Happiness")	0neg	Today I found "They All	Today I found "They All Laughed" on a video store and decided to rent it. It's about the life of a young girl who is sent away from her family by her father because she has an illness that makes her unable to speak, but when she returns home with her mother (who happens to be a doctor) they discover that there are some things in this world which you can't change.<br /><br />I was really surprised at how good this movie was. The acting was great, especially by the two leads, and the story itself was very well done. There were many parts where I thought that something would happen or someone would say something funny, but nothing ever happened for me...and neither did anyone else! This film had so much potential and yet somehow managed to fail miserably. If only more people knew what a brilliant film like this could have been!<br /><br />It seems as though most people don't know what a genius director such as David Lynch is capable of making. He knows exactly what he wants his films to be about, and then he goes out and creates them. His movies are often dark, surreal, and sometimes even disturbing; however, they also tend to be quite humorous too. One thing that always surprises me is that he never takes himself seriously - although he does work hard to do just that. In fact, one of my favorite scenes in this film involves him taking off his glasses while talking to a woman and suddenly realizing that he doesn't need any more lenses than those already inside his eyes.<br /><br />If you're looking for a truly wonderful film, check out "The Straight Story". You won't regret it! 8/10<br /><br />PS: Did you see the DVD cover? That's not supposed to look like a picture of a man wearing sunglasses and holding up a sign saying "You Can't Change Me!"<br /><br />(Note: I'm using IMDb ratings here instead of actual numbers since I haven't seen these numbers before.) <br /><br />7/20<br /><br />This review contains spoilers. Spoiler Alert Spoilers *Spoiler Alert* ** Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert** End of Spoils End of Spoilers End of End of Spoiled** 9 comments: Great post, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this excellent flick. I've watched it twice now and enjoyed every minute of it immensely. It's definitely one of my all-time favourite films. Very enjoyable indeed. Well	Today I found "They All Laughed" on DVD. It was one of the few movies that were available to watch in my area, and it is a great movie for people who like comedies.<br /><br />The plot revolves around two young couples living together with their children. The father has been married to his wife since 1960; he's got three kids (one boy and two girls). His wife died when she was pregnant, so they have no child yet. They are very happy because there isn't any problems at all: everything goes well. However, things change after some time. One day, while watching TV, the husband sees an advertisement about a new baby named 'Mama'. He decides to go out and buy her. When he comes back home from work, he finds that Mama had already left him! <br /><br />I thought this film was funny because it shows how the characters react to each other during such situations. For example, when the mother asks her son if she can see another baby, the man responds by saying something along the lines of "You're not going to believe me!"<br /><br />This movie also showed good acting skills as well as good writing. The script made use of humor without being too cheesy or silly. This makes you laugh even though you know what will happen next. Also, the music added to the mood of the story quite nicely. Overall, this is a nice comedy that should be watched by anyone interested in comedy. My rating would be four stars out of five. If you want to check out more comedies, try these ones:<br /><br />- "A Christmas Carol"<br /><br />- "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians"<br /><br />- "Scary Movie 2"<br /><br />(BTW - Scary Movie 3 is coming soon)	Today I found "They All Laughed" on the DVD rack at my local video store. It's a movie that was made in 1952 and it has been out of print for years, but recently appeared again on VHS. The film is about two young boys who have to go into town with their father because he can't find work there.<br /><br />The story concerns the relationship between the two brothers and how they deal with each other when things get tough. One brother gets drunk while talking trash to his dad (a real-life example of what happens if you don't know better) so his mother takes him away from the family. This leads to an argument between them where one boy tells his mom not to take her son back home anymore which causes even more trouble. Later, after being taken by the police, the older brother finds himself alone and starts drinking alcohol all night long until he falls asleep. He wakes up during the day only to be told by his father that he must return home immediately or else something bad will happen to him.<br /><br />This is obviously a very sad story and shows us just how much life affects people. There are some good performances here too! Robert Stack plays the younger brother as well as his father, both of whom play extremely realistic characters. The supporting cast includes Jack Palance, James Stewart, and Richard Widmark. <br /><br />I think this movie should be seen by anyone interested in relationships and families. If you're looking for a horror flick then look elsewhere. However, if you want to see a great comedy, check out "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World".<br /><br />Rating: /* 7/10 - Excellent!! 8/10 - Very Good!!! 6/10 - Average!!! 4/10 - Poor!! 3/10 - Bad! 2/10 - Terrible! /*** 1/10 - Awful!! 1/10 - Horrible!! 0/10 - Worst!!!!!!!!! 0/10 - Worst!! 0/10 - Best!! 1/10 - Great!! 2/10 - OK!! 3/10 - Okay!! 4/10 - Pretty Good!! 5/10 - Nice!! 6/10 - Excellent!! 7/10 - Wonderful!! 8/10 - Fantastic!! 9/10 - Amazing!!	Today I found "They All Laughed" on my local video store and decided to rent it. It's a very funny movie, with great acting by the cast including John Ritter as the lead character (who is played by an actor who looks like he could be in any comedy film). The plot revolves around a group of friends that meet at their college party for the first time after 10 years. They all laugh together because they are so different from each other but when one of them dies suddenly everyone starts laughing even though nobody knows why.<br /><br />I really enjoyed this movie! It was full of humor and some good laughs. This movie has everything you need to have fun watching: bad jokes, silly situations, unexpected twists...<br /><br />This movie made me realize how much more important life is than just having money or fame. Everyone should enjoy themselves and live their lives without worrying about what others think. If we were all happy people then there would not be wars anymore!<br /><br />The only thing I did not understand was why John Ritter had such a big role in the movie? He plays a guy named Ben, a loser who always thinks he is better than everybody else. But his friend tells him something about himself which makes him change completely. So why does he play such a major part?<br /><br />Overall, if you want to see a humorous movie with lots of laughter, check out this one. You won't regret it! <br /><br />8/10<br /><br />Rating: * out of * - out of ****** (out of *** stars)	0.49685	0.50315	0.499832	0.500168
This film is just plain horrible. John Ritter doing pratt falls, 75% of the actors delivering their lines as if they were reading them from cue cards, poor editing, horrible sound mixing (dialogue is tough to pick up in places over the background noise), and a plot that really goes nowhere. I didn't think I'd ever say this, but Dorothy Stratten is not the worst actress in this film. There are at least 3 others that suck more. Patti Hansen delivers her lines with the passion of Ben Stein. I started to wonder if she wasn't dead inside. Even Bogdanovich's kids are awful (the oldest one is definitely reading her lines from a cue card). This movie is seriously horrible. There's a reason Bogdanovich couldn't get another project until 4 years later. Please don't watch it. If you see it in your television listings, cancel your cable. If a friend suggests it to you, reconsider your friendship. If your spouse wants to watch it, you're better off finding another soulmate. I'd rather gouge my eyes out with lawn darts than sit through this piece of garbage again. If I could sum this film up in one word, that word would be: Suckotrocity	0neg	This film is just plain	This film is just plain bad. It's not even a comedy, it's an awful movie.<br /><br />The plot was so stupid and the acting was terrible. I could have done without all of that "love interest" crap in there too. The only thing worth watching here are some nice shots of the desert scenery...and then you're outta luck because they cut them off before you can see what happened to them! <br /><br />I'm sure this will be on DVD for awhile after its release but don't waste your time or money on it. If you want to watch a good movie with good acting go rent something like "A Simple Plan". This one isn't even worth renting unless you really hate movies. 1/10<br /><br />-P.S. -If anyone has any tips as to how to get this movie back from being stolen by someone else please let me know.

It's not even funny, it's so boring and predictable that you can't care what happens to the characters.<br /><br />I've seen this movie many times on TV but I never thought of watching it again until today after seeing a friend who has watched it several times with his family. The fact that he didn't like it at all was surprising because he loves horror films (like "The Ring").<br /><br />It seems that most people don't appreciate how good this movie could be if they had only seen one time or two.<br /><br />If you want to see a really bad horror flick then go for "House Of Dead" or "Nightmare On Elm Street 4". If you're looking for something funnier than this then watch "Halloween: Part II", "Friday The 13th Part V: Jason Lives", "Scream 2", "Dead Alive", etc...<br /><br />But if you are going to spend your money on this awful piece of crap, do yourself a favor and rent "Cult Of Fear" instead! This is as close as you'll get to a real scary movie without having to pay $50+ for tickets. You won't regret renting this movie!<br /><br />And please avoid any other reviews here which claim that this is an original story by Wes Craven. They obviously haven't read the book or have no clue about the plot in order to make such ridiculous claims. <br /><br />(PS - I'm glad I rented Cult Of Fear rather than "Cult Of Fear 2")<br /><br />Rating: 1/10<br /><br /> Spoilers ahead <br /><br />Spoiler Alert *Spoiler Alert* One thing that makes cult movies worth watching is their ability to keep you guessing throughout the entire movie. In Cult Of Fear there isn't much suspense. There aren't enough scares to keep me from getting scared during the whole movie. And when things finally start happening, they happen fast and unexpectedly. That alone would give me nightmares sometimes. But every once in awhile, the slow build-up will catch me off guard and leave me wondering why everything suddenly happened. Then, later on, we find out that nothing ever should have been expected.<br /><br />In addition to being poorly written, the acting is terrible too. Not one character feels believable. Some of them look completely fake and some others seem totally unconvincing. Even the	This film is just plain awful. It's not even funny, it has no plot and the acting is so bad that you can't believe what they're saying.<br /><br />I'm a big fan of "The Simpsons" but this movie was terrible! I mean seriously...it had nothing to do with the show at all!<br /><br />It's like watching a bunch of people who have never seen any other movies or TV shows before sitting down in front of their computer screen trying to make some kind of comedy out of something completely unrelated to anything else on television. The only thing that kept me from throwing up were the scenes where the characters are talking about how much fun they've been having filming for the movie (which made me want to throw up myself).<br /><br />If you don't mind wasting your time then go ahead and rent it because there aren't many good ones around these days.<br /><br />4/10 stars - 2/5 votes<br /><br />-Kris	This film is just plain bad. I'm not sure what it was about, but the plot seemed to be a combination of "The Naked Gun" and "Beverly Hills Cop". The acting was terrible (especially from the lead actress), and there were some very poor camera angles that made me cringe every time they took place.<br /><br />I can't believe this movie has been released on DVD for so long! It's only 80 minutes long...and yet you have to pay $15.99 to get it? What kind of money did these people make off of this one?!<br /><br />If you're looking for something with good acting or decent directing, avoid this one at all costs. If you want to see an awful film, rent "Scream", "Zodiac", or even "Blow Out". These films are much better than this garbage. Avoid this one like the plague!<br /><br />4/10 - Bad Movie = 3/10 - Average Movie = 2/10 - Good Movie = 1/10 - Excellent Movie = 0/10 <br /><br />* Spoilers *<br /><br />In the beginning we meet our main character, who works in a small town called "Hollywood." He gets paid by his boss, a rich man named Mr. Smith, to shoot porn movies. One day he decides to take advantage of his boss' generosity and shoots two girls. When he finds out that his boss didn't give him enough money, he goes after them and kills both of their parents. After killing his father, he steals the car where he killed his mother. Then he takes over her job as a secretary for Mr. Smith. At first he seems harmless, but then things start going downhill fast.<br /><br />First thing's first: This guy doesn't act scary. His facial expressions aren't creepy. And when he does scare us, he acts too stupid to be taken seriously. For example, during one scene, he tells another person that he wants to kill himself because he thinks he'll die if he keeps doing his jobs. That sounds pretty dumb, but really isn't. Also, he says that he has no idea why he shot his dad and mom. How do you think he knows how many bullets went into those guys bodies?<br /><br />Second thing's first: There wasn't any suspense whatsoever throughout the whole movie. We never got close to seeing anything crazy happen. In fact	0.5	0.5	0.499999	0.500001
My interest in Dorothy Stratten caused me to purchase this video. Although it had great actors/actresses, there were just too many subplots going on to retain interest. Plus it just wasn't that interesting. Dialogue was stiff and confusing and the story just flipped around too much to be believable. I was pretty disappointed in what I believe was one of Audrey Hepburn's last movies. I'll always love John Ritter best in slapstick. He was just too pathetic here.	0neg	My interest in Dorothy Stratten	My interest in Dorothy Stratten's life and career began with the 1958 film "The Lady From Shanghai." The movie was a great success, but I never got to see her perform live. When she died at age 73, it seemed as though she had passed on without having performed for me or anyone else.<br /><br />In 2006, my friend and colleague, Nancy, who is also an accomplished actress, decided that she would like to do some research about Dorothy Stratten and what she did before becoming famous. She found out that there were many things that could be done online; so we started looking into this subject together.<br /><br />I have always been fascinated by the fact that Ms. Stratten married a man of mixed race (her husband was born in China). This may seem odd because most people don't think of interracial marriage when they hear about the lives of African Americans. However, Mr. Stratten has made his own statement regarding his relationship: <br /><br />"We are not black people...we're Chinese-American. We've lived here since 1949."<br /><br />This statement shows how much effort he put into making sure that all aspects of his life reflected his culture. He has worked hard throughout his long career to make himself known outside of America. His work ethic is evident in everything he does - from acting to directing films. In addition to being a successful actor, he has directed several movies including the Oscar-winning "A Streetcar Named Desire," which won him an Academy Award. He also produced two other films, both of which received nominations for Oscars:<br /><br />"The Man Who Wasn't There", starring Dustin Hoffman and Kate Winslet, won Best Picture, while "Sisters," starring Anjelica Huston and Joseph Fiennes, won Best Director.<br /><br />Stratton's first major role came in 1958 when she starred in "The Lady From Shanghai." Her performance earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globe Awards. It was followed up by another big hit in 1959, where she played the part of Mrs. Blackwell in "The Color Purple".<br /><br />Her next big screen appearance was in the romantic comedy "The Shop Around the Corner" in 1963. Here, she plays a woman named Annie Hall who falls in love with a young man called George Burns. They marry shortly after their wedding day, but soon	My interest in Dorothy Stratten's career was piqued by the fact that she had been a star on Broadway. I also knew of her as an actress, but not much about her personal life.<br /><br />I never heard anything good about this film and it is hard to understand why anyone would want to see it. The story has no real depth or significance; there are few surprises, most of which have already been pointed out here. There isn't even any nudity! <br /><br />The only redeeming quality of "Dorothy" is its title - if you've seen it then you know what it means: A woman who can do nothing wrong. It's just too bad that so many people don't realize how little they really know about women in Hollywood.<br /><br />In my opinion, the best movie ever made about Dorothy Stratten (and I mean that) is THE MAN IN THE MOONLIGHT. That's because it gives us all something we didn't get from ANY other movie about her. And THAT'S worth seeing again and again!<br /><br />This review may be biased since I am a fan of both films, but I think everyone should watch them for themselves first before judging others based upon their opinions. If you're looking for some kind of insight into the world of movies, look elsewhere.<br /><br />(1/2) 30 minutes long<br /><br />- John O'Connor (Edinburgh Film Festival), UK<br /><br />*** DOROTHY STRATTEN <br /><br />* THE MAN IN THE MOONLIGHT ***	My interest in Dorothy Stratten's career was sparked by her starring role as the "Buddy" on The Lucy Show. She played a woman who, after being fired from her job at an advertising agency, decides to take up acting and move back home with her family.<br /><br />I remember seeing this movie when I was about 10 years old (in fact it may have been before that). It is one of my favorite movies because its story line makes me laugh every time I watch it. In addition, there are some great songs in the film: "A Little Less Conversation", "The Best Thing About You", and "You're So Vain".<br /><br />It also has a very nice cast including Jack Lemmon, Joan Blondell, James Stewart, Frank Sinatra, and Kay Johnson. My only complaint about the film is that it doesn't get any better than that! If you like Dorothy Stratten or love classic films then definitely check out this gem!<br /><br />(This review contains spoilers) <br /><br />Title (Brazil): "O Amor Que Deixa-me Falar" ("Love That Let Me Talk")<br /><br />Director(s): Pedro Almodovar<br /><br />Writer(s): Pedro Almodovar<br /><br />Stars: Dorothy Stratten, John Ireland, George C.

She is an actress, not a singer but it seems like this movie could be seen more as a vehicle for her acting than singing.<br /><br />The film begins with a brief introduction of the character played by Robert Blake who plays a young man named Peter (Pete) who goes out one night at midnight looking for some money when he runs into Dorothy strattens who helps him find what he needs. He then takes Pete home where they spend the evening together drinking and talking about their pasts.<br /><br />This is followed by a scene where Dorothy straten sings "I'm Going Home" which makes me wonder if she ever sang anything else besides songs such as these or maybe even something from another era? The next scene shows Dorothy playing guitar while wearing sunglasses and holding a microphone. This sounds very much like Joan Baez doing the same thing back in 1958. It also looks like she may have gotten a little too close to the camera during this time period because there are no other people around her except for herself and the camera. There is also a shot of her standing against a wall with a mirror behind her and we can see that she has long hair tied up into a bun so you know that she must've worn makeup.<br /><br />There isn't really any dialogue spoken throughout the entire movie but since Dorothy stratton appears in almost all scenes and doesn't speak until the end I think we're supposed to take everything she says literally. In addition to being a good actress she does seem to possess a certain charm and beauty that comes across well especially in the early part of the film when she first meets Bob Blake. Her voice is quite beautiful and she certainly knows how to act. However, most of the movie revolves around her singing and dancing and she never actually speaks. Even though she sings in several different languages including Spanish, French, German and Italian she only uses English words occasionally. That said, she manages to make us believe that she is speaking in English despite having a strong accent. We don't get to hear her talk directly unless she's singing or dancing. <br /><br />Dorothy Stratten did do two films before this one called "A Woman Called丽莎" and "Hollywood Diva". Both were made in the late forties and both starred Fay Wray. While neither of them	0.73051	0.26949	0.500838	0.499162
I have this film out of the library right now and I haven't finished watching it. It is so bad I am in disbelief. Audrey Hepburn had totally lost her talent by then, although she'd pretty much finished with it in 'Robin and Marian.' This is the worst thing about this appallingly stupid film. It's really only of interest because it was her last feature film and because of the Dorothy Stratten appearance just prior to her homicide.<br /><br />There is nothing but idiocy between Gazzara and his cronies. Little signals and little bows and nods to real screwball comedy of which this is the faintest, palest shadow.<br /><br />Who could believe that there are even some of the same Manhattan environs that Hepburn inhabited so magically and even mythically in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' twenty years earlier? The soundtrack of old Sinatra songs and the Gershwin song from which the title is taken is too loud and obvious--you sure don't have to wait for the credits to find out that something was subtly woven into the cine-musique of the picture to know when the songs blasted out at you.<br /><br />'Reverting to type' means going back up as well as going back down, I guess. In this case, Audrey Hepburn's chic European lady is all you see of someone who was formerly occasionally an actress and always a star. Here she has even lost her talent as a star. If someone whose talent was continuing to grow in the period, like Ann-Margret, had played the role, there would have been some life in it, even given the unbelievably bad material and Mongoloid-level situations.<br /><br />Hepburn was a great person, of course, greater than most movie stars ever dreamed of being, and she was once one of the most charming and beautiful of film actors. After this dreadful performance, she went on to make an atrocious TV movie with Robert Wagner called 'Love Among Thieves.' In 'They all Laughed' it is as though she were still playing an ingenue in her 50's. Even much vainer and obviously less intelligent actresses who insisted upon doing this like Lana Turner were infinitely more effective than is Hepburn. Turner took acting seriously even when she was bad. Hepburn doesn't take it seriously at all, couldn't be bothered with it; even her hair and clothes look tacky. Her last really good work was in 'Two for the Road,' perhaps her most perfect, if possibly not her best in many ways.<br /><br />And that girl who plays the country singer is just sickening. John Ritter is horrible, there is simply nothing to recommend this film except to see Dorothy Stratten, who was truly pretty. Otherwise, critic David Thomson's oft-used phrase 'losing his/her talent' never has made more sense.<br /><br />Ben Gazarra had lost all sex appeal by then, and so we have 2 films with Gazarra and Hepburn--who could ask for anything less? Sandra Dee's last, pitiful film 'Lost,' from 2 years later, a low-budget nothing, had more to it than this. At least Ms. Dee spoke in her own voice; by 1981, Audrey Hepburn's accent just sounded silly; she'd go on to do the PBS 'Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn' and there her somewhat irritating accent works as she walks through English gardens with aristocrats or waxes effusively about 'what I like most is when flowers go back to nature!' as in naturalized daffodils, but in an actual fictional movie, she just sounds ridiculous.<br /><br />To think that 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' was such a profound sort of light poetic thing with Audrey Hepburn one of the most beautiful women in the world--she was surely one of the most beautiful screen presences in 'My Fair Lady', matching Garbo in several things and Delphine Seyrig in 'Last Year at Marienbad.' And then this! And her final brief role as the angel 'Hap' in the Spielberg film 'Always' was just more of the lady stuff--corny, witless and stifling.<br /><br />I went to her memorial service at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, a beautiful service which included a boys' choir singing the Shaker hymn 'Simple Gifts.' The only thing not listed in the program was the sudden playing of Hepburn's singing 'Moon River' on the fire escape in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's,' and this brought much emotion and some real tears out in the congregation.<br /><br />A great lady who was once a fine actress (as in 'The Nun's Story') and one of the greatest and most beautiful of film stars in many movies of the 50's and 60's who became a truly bad one--that's not all that common. And perhaps it is only a great human being who, in making such things as film performances trivial, nevertheless has the largeness of mind to want to have the flaws pointed out mercilessly--which all of her late film work contained in abundance. Most of the talk about Hepburn's miscasting is about 'My Fair Lady.' But the one that should have had the original actress in it was 'Wait Until Dark,' which had starred Lee Remick on Broadway. Never as celebrated as Hepburn, she was a better actress in many ways (Hepburn was completely incapable of playing anything really sordid), although Hepburn was at least adequate enough in that part. After that, all of her acting went downhill.	0neg	I have this film out	I have this film out of the library and I am currently watching it. It is a very good movie, but not as great as "The Last Picture Show". The last picture show was funny because there were so many things to make fun of in that movie.<br /><br />This movie has some really bad acting (especially from the main character), terrible dialogue and horrible situations for people who are trying to be serious at the same time. This is one of those movies where you can't take your eyes off them until they're over.<br /><br />There's also no real plot or story line. There isn't even any humor! And yet, it still manages to get through all these problems without getting boring.<br /><br />It's just an awful movie with lots of laughs thrown in here and there. If you want something like that check out "The 40 Year Old Virgin" instead. That had more substance than this piece of crap. <br /><br />(Note: I'm only giving my opinion on this movie based on what other users said about it.)<br /><br />1/5 stars...too bad. You should see it though if you haven't already. It'll probably leave you laughing hysterically. But don't expect anything special. Just watch it anyway. :) <br /><br />PS: My girlfriend gave me this DVD after seeing it herself. She thought it would be hilarious too. So she got excited when I showed her it. We both laughed our asses off while we watched it together. That's how much I enjoyed this movie. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. ;) PS2: The director himself commented on his own performance saying he didn't know whether to laugh or cry during filming. He did indeed end up crying throughout most of it. His face must've been red by then. :D<br /><br />PS3: When I saw the trailer for this movie, I decided to rent it myself. I rented it first thing in the morning. I woke up around noon and went into the store to buy food and water. Then I sat down to watch the movie. After awhile, I realized I hadn't eaten lunch yet. I walked back home and started eating. About half way through the movie, I felt hungry again and went back to sit down. By now, the movie was almost done. I finished the movie and found that I couldn't stop thinking about it. It made me feel sick inside. I mean, seriously? How could someone spend their entire life	I have this film out of print and I can't find it anywhere. It's a great movie, but the DVD is terrible. The only thing that makes up for the lackluster picture quality on the disc is the soundtrack (which was recorded in 2004).<br /><br />The story line has some interesting twists - especially when you consider how much time goes by before we see any real action! This is one of those movies where you will be left wondering what happened next.<br /><br />If you are looking to watch an entertaining horror flick with good acting then go ahead and rent this. If not, don't waste your money or your time. You'll regret it!<br /><br />(And if you're reading this, please do NOT buy the DVD!)<br /><br />5/10<br /><br />-Danae	I have this film out of the box and I am really surprised at how good it is. It's a great example of what can be done with a simple story, but also an interesting concept.<br /><br />The idea behind the movie is that you are given 24 hours to find your missing friend in order to save him from his fate...<br /><br />This is not a very well known concept so there isn't much hype around it (and why should there be? The people who made this film didn't even know about it until after its release). But if you're looking for something different or unique then this might just be the right choice for you! <br /><br />It starts off slow and doesn't get going too fast which works perfectly as we gradually learn more about our characters and their lives. There aren't many twists up front but they do happen throughout the whole thing and all these little details add up to make the entire experience enjoyable!<br /><br />One of my favourite things about this film was the way the director used music to convey certain emotions - especially when he would play the theme song over and over again during scenes where the main character had to deal with difficult situations. This added another level of depth to the story and gave us some truly moving moments.<br /><br />Overall, one of the best films I've seen recently and definitely worth checking out if you haven't already! Highly recommended! :) If only everyone could see such amazing talent like this on screen every day! ;) Cheers! :-) --Kris <br /><br />(PS: I'm actually quite partial to this film because it has a lot of similarities to the classic "Lost In Translation"!) :) PS: Sorry for any spelling errors; I don't speak English properly) :) Thanks for reading! :-D :) Regards,<br /><br />Kris <br /><br />10/10<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~	I have this film out of my collection, and I've seen it many times. It's a great movie for kids to watch with their parents or friends.<br /><br />The story is about a young boy who gets into trouble at school because he doesn't like his teacher. He goes home and tells his mother what happened. The mother takes him back to the house where she has been working all day. She shows him how to make a doll that looks just like her son. They play together until they get bored. Then they go outside to see if there are any toys left in the yard. There are no more dolls around but some other things. When they come back inside, the father comes upstairs looking very upset. What happens next will surprise you! <br /><br />This is one of those movies that can be watched by adults as well as children. My favorite part was when the father finally realizes that maybe he didn't love his daughter enough to give up on her. This made me cry too. You'll also enjoy watching your child learn something new while having fun. If you're not sure whether your child would want to watch this movie alone or with others, ask them first before going ahead. We had our 10 year old daughter do it with us last night after we saw the previews. After seeing it, she said "That was really funny!" And then she asked why we were laughing so hard. So cool!<br /><br />My advice: Watch this movie with your family. Do not wait till bedtime--you won't regret it. You may even find yourself crying along with your little ones. Enjoy! (And don't forget the popcorn!)<br /><br />(Note: I'm using the same title as another comment here.)<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Katie<br /><br />(2/6/98)	0.500011	0.499989	0.500006	0.499994
I think I will make a movie next weekend. Oh wait, I'm working..oh I'm sure I can fit it in. It looks like whoever made this film fit it in. I hope the makers of this crap have day jobs because this film sucked!!! It looks like someones home movie and I don't think more than $100 was spent making it!!! Total crap!!! Who let's this stuff be released?!?!?!	0neg	I think I will make	I think I will make a small comment about the movie. It is not as good as it could have been, but still worth watching.<br /><br />The story line was very interesting and well written. The acting in this film was great! They did an excellent job of portraying different characters with their own personalities. This made for a very engaging viewing experience. Also, there were some funny scenes that kept me laughing throughout the entire movie. <br /><br />This movie also had a few flaws which are minor compared to other movies out there. One thing that bothered me was how they used the "gay" character's name (David) instead of his real first name (Dylan). Another problem was that the ending seemed rushed at times. But overall, this movie has tons of potential if done right!<br /><br />Overall, this movie is definitely worth checking out. If you like action films or just want to see what happens when two people meet each other on the street...this one should be on your list. 8/10<br /><br />(Note: This review contains spoilers.)<br /><br />Thanks for reading! :) -Kris	I think I will make a comment for each of the 10 comments. First, this movie is not very good at all. It has some decent acting but it's just bad.<br /><br />The plot was predictable and boring. The characters were shallow too. They are so uninteresting that you don't care about them or their problems. <br /><br />There wasn't any suspense in the whole film. Nothing happened to keep me interested until the end when something really interesting happens. This movie had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. You could tell they spent lots of money on making this movie because there was nothing special about it. There weren't even any cool cars! That's what made this movie so dull. And then finally, after everything else, we get a happy ending which makes up for the rest of the poor script. But still, if you're looking for an action-packed thriller with great car chases and explosions...you'll be disappointed. If you want a nice romantic comedy, watch "Cinderella" instead. Or maybe rent "The Princess Bride".<br /><br />If you like movies where people die by accident from falling objects, than this might be your cup of tea. Otherwise, skip this one!<br /><br />(2/5) out of ** (3 stars)<br /><br /> 4 out of *** (6 stars) 7 out of ******* (9 stars) * 8 out of ***** (10 stars)	I think I will make a mistake in the future if I ever watch this movie again. The acting is terrible, and it's not even funny at all.<br /><br />The story line was very confusing as well, but that didn't help much either.<br /><br />This film has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It's just plain awful! If you are looking for something to laugh about or have fun with, then go ahead and rent this one...but don't waste your time on this one because there really isn't anything good going on here. This is definitely NOT worth renting unless you're desperate for some laughs. Don't bother with this one!<br /><br />Avoid like the plague! 1/10 stars out of 5<br /><br />(and by the way, I'm from England) <br /><br />P.S.: Thank God my wife and I rented this movie together so we could both get our money back!! :)<br /><br /> Spoilers (Spoiler Alert: )<br /><br />- In the first scene where they take off their clothes, the actors do nothing more than walk around naked through the entire sequence. - When the three men talk about how "they" got into the house, when they say that they were lucky enough to be able to sneak inside without being caught, what does the camera show? A few people standing outside the door waiting for them to come in? No, it shows a bunch of guys walking down the hallways towards the front door, which clearly means they've been breaking in before anyone else comes along. And why did they leave the lights ON while doing it?<br /><br />- The music used throughout the movie is pretty bad too. There's a lot of annoying background noise playing over the opening credits, especially during the final scenes. Also, there seems to be an endless loop of someone singing "You'll Never Find Me Again". I can see why it might sound catchy though. Oh yeah, also, there's a song called "Don't Stop Believin'" played over the end credits, which sounds kind of cheesy. But hey, maybe that's just me.<br /><br />So basically, this movie is boring, stupid, and totally unwatchable. Avoid like the plague! 2/10 stars out of 5. P.S., I actually saw this movie last night after watching it twice already, and now I know why. They should have made a sequel instead of making another remake. That would	I think I will make a comment about the movie. It is not good, but it's entertaining and has some great acting.<br /><br />The film starts with an old man who lives in a small house on his own. He loves to watch movies. One day he sees that there are two people living next door: one of them seems to be crazy (he runs around screaming) and another person looks like a psychiatrist (she wears glasses). The first person tells him that they have been having sex for years now...<br /><br />Then we see how this couple changes over time. They start dating each other again, then marry, then divorce. Then they get married again, then split up again, then finally fall in love again. This whole story ends when the woman dies from cancer and she asks her husband if he wants to live forever or die right away. She says "live forever" because she knows that he can't change things anymore. <br /><br />This was my favorite part of the movie. There were so many funny moments throughout the entire movie. My only complaint would be that the ending seemed too abrupt. But overall, I liked this movie very much! 8/10<br /><br />-Kris	0.730753	0.269247	0.269254	0.730746
Pros: Nothing<br /><br />Cons: Everything<br /><br />Plot summary: A female reporter runs into a hitchhiker that tells her stories about the deaths of people that were killed by zombies.<br /><br />Review: Never in my life have I come across a movie as bad The Zombie Chronicles. Filmed on a budget of what looks to be about 20 bucks, TZC is a completely horrible horror movie that relies on lame, forgetable actors whom couldn't act to save their lives and gore that's more gross than frightening. How does a movie like this even get made? Simply put, avoid TZC like a sexually-transmitted disease.<br /><br />My last 2 cents: Humorously enough, this movie was made by a movie company called Brain Damage Films. They're brains must have really been damaged to come up with a craptacular movie like this.<br /><br />My rating: 1 out of 10(If it were up to me, this movie would get the rating of negative bajillion)	0neg	Pros: Nothing<br /><br />Cons: Everything<br	Pros: Nothing<br /><br />Cons: Everything<br /><br />I'm not sure if this is a movie that you should watch with the family or alone. I think it's better to have your kids and friends around so they can enjoy the film together.<br /><br />The story was very good, but there are some scenes where it seems like the actors were trying too hard (like when the father tries to kill his wife). The acting in general wasn't great either. It seemed as though everyone was just doing their best to be funny at all times. But overall, this movie had an interesting plot line which made me laugh several times throughout the entire movie.<br /><br />Overall rating:<br /><br />(1/2) <br /><br />My Grade: B+<br /><br />Rating: 8 out of 10 stars - This Movie Is A MUST SEE! You'll Laugh Many Times!!! :)	Pros: Nothing<br /><br />Cons: Everything<br /><br />I'm a huge fan of the original "Star Wars" and I loved everything about it. This movie was terrible, not only because of its poor acting but also for many reasons that are beyond me.<br /><br />The plot is so predictable (and this is one thing I love) that you can't even tell if it's supposed to be funny or serious at times. The characters were all very dull and boring in their roles. They had no real depth to them whatsoever. Not once did any character really come alive on screen. It just seemed like they were trying too hard to make something out of nothing...which isn't necessarily bad, but it just didn't work here.<br /><br />There wasn't much action either. There weren't enough explosions, laser battles, etc., which made the whole experience feel more like watching an old 60s TV show than anything else. <br /><br />Overall, this film felt completely unoriginal from beginning to end. It tried way too hard with every scene possible without actually succeeding. If you're looking for a good time then go ahead and watch this movie; however, don't expect anything special. You'll probably laugh at least some scenes, but there will definitely be plenty of tears shed as well! Just avoid this one unless you want to waste your money. Don't waste yours. :)<br /><br />(spoilers...)<br /><br />-1/2 stars -3/5 stars =-(	Pros: Nothing<br /><br />Cons: Everything<br /><br />The only thing I liked about this movie was the fact that it had some good acting. The rest of the film is just a waste of time and money.<br /><br />I would not recommend anyone to see this unless you are really bored or have nothing better to do than watch an action flick with no plot, no characters, and no story line at all. This one has none of these things so don't bother wasting your time on it! It's like watching a bunch of people stand around in a room talking while they eat their lunch.<br /><br />This movie could be worse but for what it is it isn't bad either. If you want something to watch then go ahead and rent this one. Otherwise stay away from it because its awful. 1 out of 5 stars. <br /><br />My Rating: D+ (out of five)	Pros: Nothing<br /><br />Cons: Everything<br /><br />I saw this movie in the theater and I was so disappointed. The story is very weak, there are no twists or surprises to keep you interested (which makes it even worse). It's a horrible film that will make you want to vomit.<br /><br />The acting isn't bad but they aren't good either. There were some scenes where I thought "Oh my god, what have i just seen?" But then again, I'm not usually one of those people who can tell when something has gone wrong with a movie...<br /><br />Overall, I would say if you're looking for an action flick go see Red Dawn instead. If you like horror movies watch Night Of The Living Dead. Otherwise avoid at all costs. 1/2 stars out of **. <br /><br />Also, check out the trailer on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZiWuOzY73M&feature=related&list=PLxLw5Q9sHn0vU8cT6mXpEJbKqBkFtGg.

If the crew behind "Zombie Chronicles" ever read this, here's some advice guys: <br /><br />1. In a "Twist Ending"-type movie, it's not a good idea to insert close-ups of EVERY DEATH IN THE MOVIE in the opening credits. That tends to spoil the twists, y'know...? <br /><br />2. I know you produced this on a shoestring and - to be fair - you worked miracles with your budget but please, hire people who can actually act. Or at least, walk, talk and gesture at the same time. Joe Haggerty, I'm looking at you...<br /><br />3. If you're going to set a part of your movie in the past, only do this if you have the props and costumes of the time.<br /><br />4. Twist endings are supposed to be a surprise. Sure, we don't want twists that make no sense, but signposting the "reveal" as soon as you introduce a character? That's not a great idea.<br /><br />Kudos to the guys for trying, but in all honesty, I'd rather they hadn't...<br /><br />Only for zombie completists.	0neg	If the crew behind "Zombie	If the crew behind "Zombie 2" and "The Walking Dead" are any indication, then this movie is going to be a big disappointment. The first film was an entertaining horror flick that had some great gore effects (the zombies were pretty cool), but it fell apart in its second outing.<br /><br />This time around, we have a bunch of actors who look like they're having trouble getting into their roles - especially when trying to play zombie killers with real conviction. There's also no chemistry between the lead characters at all; I'm not sure why anyone would want to work together again after such a poor performance from both leads. And what about the plot? It just seems so thin: there really isn't much to say here other than the fact that the killer has been seen before, etc., etc..<br /><br />I gave this one two stars because it's still worth watching for those who enjoy these types of films. But if you've already seen the original or liked the previous movies, skip this one altogether! <br /><br />(1 out of 5)	If the crew behind "Zombie" were to make a movie about zombies, I would be one of them. This film is not only boring and uninteresting but it's also very poorly written.<br /><br />The plot revolves around two young college students who are on their way home from an event when they come across a strange man in the woods. They decide to follow him into his cabin where he tells them that there will be no more bloodshed for 10 years because there will be no human flesh left. The next day they find out that this was just some old joke by the guy so they leave without saying goodbye. Then another week passes and the same thing happens again...<br /><br />This movie has absolutely nothing interesting or exciting going on at all! It seems like every scene could have been cut down to save time. And if you're wondering why we see these people walking through the woods alone with guns drawn (they don't even seem scared), well, it's because the director didn't want any gore scenes either!<br /><br />I'm sure many horror fans will love this movie since it's supposed to be scary but I can assure you that anyone who sees this movie won't feel anything except boredom. If you really enjoyed watching "Zombie," then maybe you'll enjoy seeing what kind of movies the writers came up with instead of trying to create something original. But as far as I am concerned, this movie sucks big-time. Save your money and avoid wasting your time on this piece of garbage. You'd probably better stick to reading books than spending $6.95 dollars on this crap. <br /><br />8/10<br /><br />-Lester Lee -www.LesserSadder.com	If the crew behind "Zombie Planet" had a choice, they would have made this movie. It's not that I'm against zombie movies (I like them), but it is clear to me that there are many more things in life than zombies and/or zombie films.<br /><br />This film has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The acting was terrible, the plot was predictable, and the special effects were laughable at best. There really isn't anything good about this one; if you want something scary, go see "The Ring." If you want to watch an action flick with some gore, check out "Dead End Kids."<br /><br />Don't waste your time on this piece of garbage.

But alas, we're left with an awful mess that is as bad as any other film made in recent memory.<br /><br />The story revolves around a group of scientists who are investigating some strange phenomena and discover a virus which causes people to become zombies after being exposed to it for too long. The infected start killing each other off one by one until there's only 3 remaining survivors (who happen to be all women).<br /><br />Unfortunately, director John Schlesinger has no idea what he wants his audience to think or feel about the movie; he just tries to make us believe that these girls are going to kill everyone because their bodies will rot away if they don't eat them quickly enough! This leads to several scenes where the characters look like they want to punch someone but can't find anything else to do except stare at the screen while trying not to laugh hysterically. It also makes me wonder how anyone could watch this garbage without laughing hysterically!<br /><br />I won't go into detail here since you'll probably see my review elsewhere anyway, but suffice to say that the acting was terrible from every single person involved. I mean, seriously? A woman playing a zombie? How did she get hired?<br /><br />There were two things that saved this movie: the fact that it wasn't really scary at all and the fact that it didn't try to shock anybody. If you want something that doesn't even try to scare you then this isn't your cup of tea. And if you want something that actually scares you... well, let's face it--it ain't gonna happen unless you pay big bucks for a ticket to see it. Save yourself the trouble and rent "Deadly Force". That's more entertaining than this crap ever gets up close and personal with. <br /><br />(And yes--the title does refer to the type of flesh eating creatures.)<br /><br />'Scream' fans should avoid this movie completely. Even 'Horror Night' fans shouldn't bother watching this piece of trash. Don't waste your time. You'll regret it when it comes right back at ya. <br /><br />4/10<br /><br />Rating: **/** - 78 minutes (out of 96) - 4 stars out of five	0.5	0.5	0.500001	0.499999
1st watched 8/3/2003 - 2 out of 10(Dir-Brad Sykes): Mindless 3-D movie about flesh-eating zombies in a 3 story within a movie chronicle. And yes, we get to see zombies eating human flesh parts in 3D!! Wow, not!! That has been done time and time again in 2D in a zombie movie but what usually makes a zombie movie better is the underlying story not the actual flesh-eating. That's what made the original zombie classics good. The flesh-eating was just thrown in as an extra. We're actually bored throughout most of this 3-part chronicle because of the lame(twilight-zone like) easily understood and slow-pacingly revealed finale's. The last story is actually the story the movie started with(having a reporter investigating a so-called ghost town) and of course we get to see flesh eating zombie's in that one as well. Well, I think I've said enough. Watch the classics, not this 3D bore-feast.	0neg	1st watched 8/3/2003 - 2	1st watched 8/3/2003 - 2nd viewed 9/6/2003 I have to say that I was very disappointed in this movie. The plot is weak, the characters are not interesting and there's no chemistry between them.<br /><br />The acting by all of the actors seemed forced and unconvincing. It made me wonder if they were paid for their roles or just had a bad day at work (which it sounds like they did).<br /><br />There wasn't much action either...the whole thing felt slow paced. There also seems to be some sort of "secret" about what happened with the character who died but we never got any clues as to why she disappeared or where she went after her death.<br /><br />Overall, I found myself wishing that the scriptwriters would write something better than this one. If you're looking for an entertaining film then go ahead and rent it; however, if you want a good thriller, look elsewhere. This isn't really a horror flick so don't expect anything out of the ordinary here. Just keep your expectations low! <br /><br />Rating: D- out of five stars<br /><br />(based on my own personal opinion)	1st watched 8/3/2003 - 2nd viewed 9/4/2003<br /><br />I'm not sure if this is a bad movie or good, but I think it's somewhere in the middle. It has some great moments and some pretty cheesy ones (like when the girl gets her first kiss). The story isn't too complicated and there are no really big surprises at the end.<br /><br />The acting was okay for an early 70s film. Some of the actors were better than others though, especially the lead actress who had to be one of the worst actresses ever! This movie also shows how much talent these people have as well as their ability to make you laugh while they're doing so!<br /><br />Overall, I'd give it about a 5 out of 10. If you like movies that aren't overly complex, then maybe check this one out...but don't expect anything special from me. <br /><br />(spoilers)<br /><br />There's a scene where the guy walks into his house with nothing on except a pair of jeans and a shirt. He goes upstairs and opens up the closet door and finds two pairs of pants inside. Then he puts them on and goes downstairs. When he comes back down, he sees his wife sitting by the window watching TV. She says "You look all wet!" And she turns around to see him standing outside the front door. She asks him what happened. He replies: "Nothing." So now we know that he didn't actually do any washing until after he came home from work. But wait, did he? There's another scene where he takes off his clothes and sits next to the bed and starts making love to himself. Oh boy, does he get naked! Wow! That was funny! Also, in another scene he grabs a pillow and throws it across the room. Now THAT'S fun! Anyway, he ends up getting laid and having sex with the woman in the bedroom. Then he realizes that he forgot to take off his shoes before going into the bathroom. So he runs over to the sink and begins taking off his socks. At this point, the camera cuts away to show us the rest of the apartment and its contents. We can hear someone yelling "Get your hands off my son!!" and the sound effects start playing. What?! A man is beating his daughter!!! WTF??? Not only that, but the mother is screaming hysterically at the top of her lungs saying something along the lines of "Don't touch	1st watched 8/3/2003 - 2nd watch 9/5/2003 I saw this movie when it came out in the theaters, and I still remember how bad it was. The acting is terrible (especially by the lead actress), and the plot is so stupid that you can't believe anyone could have thought of making a film about it.<br /><br />The only reason why I gave this one an 7 rating instead of a 6 or even a 4 is because I'm not sure if I'll ever get to see any more movies like "Mystery Science Theater" episodes. This movie just made me want to go back to watching MST3K again! <br /><br />If you're looking for something funny, then skip this one.

The acting was awful and the plot was weak. It seems like every time they start something new with a character (like in "The Exorcist" or "Psycho") you have to wait for them to make some sort of connection between what happened before and how it all ties together.<br /><br />If you are looking for an interesting horror flick then skip this one. If you want to see a good horror flick go rent "Scream", "Halloween", "Friday the 13th Part II: Chapter 3". They're much better than this crap! <br /><br />(spoilers) In the beginning of the first scene we get to know about a girl named Claire who goes on vacation with her boyfriend John. She gets lost at night and ends up in a cabin where she meets a creepy guy called Victor. He tells her he has been searching for his missing daughter and wants to help her find her brother. Of course Victor doesn't tell her anything else until after the credits roll...<br /><br />Then there's the rest of the story which continues as if nothing ever happens during the whole thing. There's no suspense, no tension, no gore, no scares, etc. This is really disappointing because it could've been great had the script been written by someone more talented than myself. Instead they wrote a bunch of lame dialogue from people who don't even speak English very well. And since when does everyone need to be able to act?

There's tons of good-looking women in this flick. But alas, this movie is nudity-free. Grrrrrrrrrr Strike one.<br /><br />Ahem. One story in this film takes place in 1971. Then why the hell are the main characters driving a Kia Sportage? Hello? Continuity, anyone?<br /><br />As you might know, this movie was released in stereoscopic 3D. And it is the most hideous effect I have ever seen. I'm not sure if someone botched the job on this, but there WAS no 3D, just double-vision blurs. I didn't have the same problem with this company's other 3D movies, HUNTING SEASON and CAMP BLOOD. Sure, the 3D in those ones sucked too, but with them I could see a semblance of 3D effect.<br /><br />This thing is a big ball of nothing.<br /><br />And whoever that women was who played the daughter of the ear-eating dame, yum! I'd like to see more of her. In movies, as well. Looks like Janet Margolin at a young age. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr<br /><br />	0neg	There's tons of good-looking women	There's tons of good-looking women in this movie, but the story is so predictable that it becomes a chore to sit through. The plot involves an American woman who has come to Japan and falls for a Japanese man (who happens to be her brother). She tries to get him out of his marriage with his wife by getting him married to another girl from America.<br /><br />The problem here is that there are too many characters involved with no real reason why they're all together at one time or other. There were some funny scenes involving a cat and a dog as well as a guy trying to seduce the girls while he was on top of them! <br /><br />I'm not sure what I expected from this film - if you've seen any of my reviews before then you know exactly how much I like this type of thing. It seems to me that the director had little idea of where the script should go; instead of giving us something original we have two clichés after three hours: "Oh, look, she's got a boyfriend!" and "She just fell into love".<br /><br />This isn't really made up, though. This sort of thing does happen every day in Japan. And even more often than not, people fall in love during their first few days of living in a new place.<br /><br />'Takashi Miike' is probably best known for 'Paprika', which also features a lot of beautiful women falling in love...and being very unoriginal about it. But this one doesn't deserve the same level of praise. If you want to see a romantic comedy featuring gorgeous women try 'Sawada no Tatsuya'. That one's better. Or 'Koi wa Kikiri'. Those guys do make pretty ladies. <br /><br />It would seem that the only way to improve this piece of crap is to put it back in the trash can. At least that will keep the men off your plate!<br /><br />(Spoilers) <br /><br />1/2 - 3/4 = Very Good<br /><br />10/10 = Excellent<br /><br />8-9/10 = Very Good<br /><br />7-8/10 = Good<br /><br />6-7/10 = Average<br /><br />5-6/10 = Poor<br /><br />4-5/10 = Terrible<br /><br />**3/4-4/5	There's tons of good-looking women in this film, but the only one who really stands out is a young and beautiful actress named Julie Christie. She plays an aspiring model whose father (played by Peter Ustinov) has just died from cancer.<br /><br />The story itself isn't all that interesting or original; it's more like a typical Hollywood chick flick with some nice scenery shots thrown in here and there to keep you interested for about 80 minutes at most. The plot involves her trying to make ends meet while living on her own, but she also tries to find love along the way - which doesn't go too well.<br /><br />Ustinov does his best to be funny throughout the movie, especially when he gets into character as a doctor who wants to help her get over her grief. But even though he manages to bring some humor to the proceedings, I still found myself rolling my eyes whenever he tried to pull something ridiculous off.<br /><br />Christie gives another solid performance as well, although she seems rather passive during much of the movie. It would have been great if they had given her more screen time than she did, because she was quite capable of doing better than that.<br /><br />'Sister Act' fans will probably enjoy this film since it features many of the same characters and situations, including the famous'sisters'.<br /><br />Overall, not bad entertainment worth checking out once every few years. <br /><br />(1/5 stars.)--David Lerner<br /><br />* SPOILERS * --<br /><br />I'm sure everyone can see where this movie is going after about ten minutes in. There are several scenes involving sex between two men, and lots of nudity. Also, we're treated to a lot of gratuitous violence towards the end.<br /><br />But what makes this movie so terrible? Well, first of all, it's very predictable. You know exactly how things are going to turn out before they do. And secondly, it relies heavily upon its female lead, Julie Christie, which means that any flaws she may have might be overlooked. In fact, Christie looks nothing special compared to the other girls playing the supporting roles. As such, she comes across as somewhat unattractive and uninspired.<br /><br />As far as acting goes, however, Catherine Zeta-Jones shines through in a small role as a woman who becomes obsessed with finding love despite being married to someone else. Her scene with Christie is particularly memorable,	There's tons of good-looking women in this movie, and a few very interesting characters. The story is about an old woman who has been living with her daughter for the past 20 years after she died (she was married to the man playing the role). She lives alone but does have some friends around town that are more than willing to help out when needed.<br /><br />The problem I had with this film was that it seemed like they were trying too hard to make something special by making a big deal out of their relationship. It wasn't really necessary because there isn't much going on between them other than the fact that they're both getting older. They've known each other since childhood so why not just get along? And if you want your audience thinking "oh my god! what happened here?" then go ahead and show us...<br /><br />I'm sure most people will be disappointed by this movie as well - I didn't think it would turn into such a mess. But if you can accept the idea that there may actually be someone else behind all these stories, maybe you'll find yourself enjoying this one. If you don't mind watching a bunch of pretty ladies having sex or being attacked by zombies, then give this one a chance. You won't regret it. :) <br /><br />(spoilers) A zombie attack starts at midnight on a deserted island where two men are staying together. One guy wakes up and sees his girlfriend dead while he tries to escape from the island before dawn. He finds himself surrounded by zombies and must fight off the undead until daylight. Meanwhile, another guy awakens and realizes that he's also trapped inside the abandoned building. Can he survive long enough to save his friend?<br /><br />This movie could easily pass for a horror flick, which makes me wonder how many movies are made every year based solely on the premise that we should expect to see a lot of gore and bloodshed. This movie doesn't fall under any category whatsoever. There aren't any scares; instead, there are plenty of nice scenes involving beautiful women and lots of nudity. That's fine, but it seems like a waste of time to spend money on those things anyway. In addition, the acting is bad. Some actors do better than others, but none of them are particularly great. The only thing that saves this film is the presence of gorgeous women, whom I found myself falling in love with throughout the entire movie. Even though the ending left me feeling cheated, I still recommend giving this one a try if you enjoy seeing	There's tons of good-looking women in this movie, but they're not given enough screen time. The story is a little too simple to be interesting on its own - the main character has no real motivation for her actions and it seems like she just wants to get out of there as fast as possible.<br /><br />The acting was pretty bad (some scenes were so badly acted that I couldn't even watch them), especially from the lead actress who looked really tired throughout most of the film. She did have some moments where she seemed genuinely interested in what was going on around her though, which made me think maybe she had an interesting past or something...<br /><br />Overall, if you want a decent thriller with lots of action and suspense then go see "The Ring" instead. If you want a low-budget horror flick with lots of nudity and sex then check out "The Naked Gun 3". But if you want a very well-made thriller with great performances and strong writing then avoid this one at all costs! <br /><br />(I'm sorry if my comments seem harsh because I know how hard it can be to write reviews about movies without giving away anything) <br /><br />4/10<br /><br />*SPOILERS<br /><br />This movie starts off with a bang when we are introduced to the two leads: Jake Gyllenhaal (the guy who played the part in "Training Day") and his girlfriend Emily Blunt (who plays the role of the girl). They meet up for lunch while working together at a restaurant and decide to spend their lunch break getting drunk. This doesn't last long since they end up having a fight over whether or not he should tell her about his secret life as a serial killer. He tells her that he's been trying to kill people ever since he was nine years old and she agrees to help him track down those responsible for killing people before he kills himself again.<br /><br />They start tracking down the killers by using various methods such as hacking into computers, stealing information from websites etc.. However, things don't work out quite as planned and soon after they find someone else who also works at a computer lab. It turns out that these guys aren't criminals after all and they've actually hired the CIA to do their job for them!<br /><br />Jake and Emily try to stop them but eventually they fall prey to the agency and are captured along with several other members of the team.

En route to a small town that lays way off the beaten track (but which looks suspiciously close to a freeway), a female reporter runs into a strange hitch-hiker who agrees to help direct her to her destination. The strange man then recounts a pair of gruesome tales connected to the area: in the first story, an adulterous couple plot to kill the woman's husband, but eventually suffer a far worse fate themselves when they are attacked by a zombie; and in the second story, a group of campers have their vacation cut short when an undead outlaw takes umbrage at having his grave peed on.<br /><br />The Zombie Chronicles is an attempt by writer Garrett Clancy and director Brad Sykes at making a zombie themed anthologya nice idea, but with only two stories, it falls woefully short. And that's not the only way in which this low budget gore flick fails to deliver: the acting is lousy (with Joe Haggerty, as the tale-telling Ebenezer Jackson, giving one of the strangest performances I have ever seen); the locations are uninspired; the script is dreary; there's a sex scene with zero nudity; and the ending.... well, that beggars belief.<br /><br />To be fair, some of Sykes' creative camera-work is effective (although the gimmicky technique employed as characters run through the woods is a tad overused) and Joe Castro's cheapo gore is enthusiastic: an ear is bitten off, eyeballs are plucked out, a face is removed, brains are squished, and there is a messy decapitation. These positives just about make the film bearable, but be warned, The Zombie Chronicles ain't a stroll in the park, even for seasoned viewers of z-grade trash.<br /><br />I give The Zombie Chronicles 2/10, but generously raise my rating to 3 since I didn't get to view the film with the benefit of 3D (although I have a sneaking suspicion that an extra dimension wouldn't have made that much of a difference).	0neg	En route to a small	En route to a small town, the car breaks down. The passengers are all in different states of mind and they have no idea what is going on.<br /><br />The movie starts with a flashback where we see how people were living before World War II. Then it moves into present day when things seem normal until one night an accident happens which causes some kind of sickness among the passengers.<br /><br />This film has many elements that make you want to laugh at first but then stop laughing after about 10 minutes because there's nothing funny here! It doesn't even try hard enough to be funny. I'm not sure if this was supposed to be a comedy or just a drama so maybe it wasn't meant for laughter? But it does end up being quite entertaining though!<br /><br />I would recommend this movie only to those who like watching movies without any plot twists or surprises. If you're looking for something serious watch "Slaughterhouse Five" instead. This one isn't really worth your time unless you love to sit through long boring films. <br /><br />(Note: Spoilers) A lot of times the characters don't say anything except their names and expressions. They can't talk much either. So sometimes it becomes difficult to understand them. For example, in the beginning part of the movie we get to know the main character (the girl). She says she loves animals and her father is a farmer while her mother is a nurse. In the middle of the movie we learn more details about her family members such as her brother and sister. And then finally by the end of the movie we find out everything else. That's why I didn't enjoy it too much...<br /><br />So overall I give this movie 2/5 stars. Maybe if you liked Slaughterhouse five you might actually like this one. Otherwise skip it. :) <br /><br />Rating: **(out of 4)<br /><br />P.S.: The ending scene reminded me of a scene from "American Pie". You'll probably recognize the name of the guy in question since he looks very similar to him.<br /><br />PS2: I think the title should've been changed to "A Little Bit Like an Accident".<br /><br />PS3: There's also another movie called "Little Miss Sunshine", which is basically the same thing as this one. Both are great movies. Check 'em both out if you haven't already! ;)	En route to a small town, the crew of "The 70's" stop at a gas station. There they meet an old man who tells them that his son is dead and he wants to go home with him.<br /><br />This movie has been released in Japan on DVD as part of the new collection "Manga & Video Classics".<br /><br />I have seen this film many times over the years but it still holds up well today. The acting was excellent for its time (especially by John Ritter), especially when compared to other films from the same era such as "The Wild One", "Beverly Hills Cop II: Streets Of L.A.", "Police Academy III" or even "Lethal Weapon 3". It also features some great music composed by Alan Silvestri. <br /><br />It's worth seeing if you like movies about the 1970s! I watched it several times while living in Los Angeles during those days. If you don't know what these people were doing back then, watch this movie! You'll be glad you did!<br /><br />(A very rare find) - 8/10<br /><br />PS: This movie is not available anywhere else except in Japan so please check out the official website www.mangaandvideo.com for more information.<br /><br />-SPOILER ALERT- <br /><br />John Ritter plays a young boy named Bobby who lives with his mother in a small house in Southern California. He dreams of going away to college somewhere far off in Europe where he can study law and become rich enough to buy himself a mansion. His father works in a big oil company and doesn't want him getting into trouble because of his money. So he tries to keep Bobby away from school and work until he grows older.<br /><br />One day, after watching TV all night long, Bobby decides to take a trip alone to visit his friend, whom he hasn't seen since high school. On their way there, they get lost along the side of a mountain road and end up staying overnight in a remote cabin owned by a mysterious woman called Mrs. O'Neil. She explains her name is Mary Ann and she's here to help Bobby reunite with his friends. But things soon begin to unravel as Bobby begins to realize that something sinister is happening around him...<br /><br />There are lots of twists and turns in this film which make it hard to describe without spoiling anything. However, one thing	En route to a small town, the crew of "The Big Chill" are stopped by an old man who tells them that he is from the future and has been sent back in time. He shows up at their hotel room with his wife (played by Jennifer Tilly) and asks for directions on how to get there.<br /><br />He also reveals that he was once married to one of the women featured in this movie but they broke up because she had sex with another guy instead of him. This leads to her being given away to the son of the owner of the motel where the film takes place.<br /><br />This is not your average 80's action flick as it features some pretty cool cars including a Dodge Charger R/T convertible which looks like a real car! The plot is rather simple and you can guess what happens next without having to see the entire thing. It does have its moments though such as when the woman decides to go out into the desert alone after getting caught in a storm. She gets lost and ends up in a remote area where she meets a young boy named Joe who helps her find shelter before heading home.<br /><br />Overall, this is just a fun little movie about love, family and friendship. I would recommend seeing it if only to catch a glimpse of Jennifer Tilly playing a character similar to her role in "Dazed and Confused".<br /><br />(SPOILER ALERT!)

The pilot is killed and his wife becomes one too. She is rescued from her apartment by a young woman who has been bitten by a zombie.<br /><br />This movie was very well made in terms of special effects (although it's not as good as other movies like "The Fog" or "Cannibal Holocaust").<br /><br />However, this movie also suffers because there were some scenes that just didn't make sense at all. For example, when they're walking through the woods, the girl says she can see people running around but then later on we find out she doesn't have any eyes! And another scene where the mother tries to get away with the baby while he runs after them... It got so confusing I couldn't even figure out what happened next!<br /><br />But overall, this movie had enough action for me to enjoy it. If you want something different than most horror films, check this one out. This would be my top 5 favorite film ever if I could pick only five favorites. <br /><br />I give this movie a 7/10. A must-see for fans of low-budget horror flicks. :) 8/10.

Without wishing to be a killjoy, Brad Sykes is responsible for at least two of the most dull and clichéd films i've ever seen - this being one of them, and Camp Blood being another. <br /><br />The acting is terrible, the print is shoddy, and everything about this film screams "seriously, you could do better yourself". Maybe this is a challenge to everyone to saturate youtube with our own zombie related crap?<br /><br />I bought this for £1, but remember, you can't put a price on 71 minutes of your life. You'd do well to avoid this turkey, even at a bargain basement price.	0neg	Without wishing to be a	Without wishing to be a critic, I must say that this film is one of the best movies ever made. It's not just about the story and its characters; it's also about how people can change their lives for better by helping each other out.<br /><br />The movie follows three friends who are all in trouble with drugs: Dan (played by John Ritter), Nick (played by David Duchovny) and Alex (played by Jared Harris). They have different backgrounds but they share some common traits such as being drug addicts or alcoholics. However, when things get really bad on them, they decide to help each other out by going into a bar together where they meet up with another friend named Ben (played by Charlie Cox). Together, they go through an awful night drinking heavily and then start talking about what happened during the day.<br /><br />This movie has so much potential because it shows us how we should treat others - especially those who may seem like "bad" at times. The main character, Alex, tells his parents he wants to become a doctor after seeing a TV show called "Survivor". He goes to college hoping to study medicine, which would make him more successful than any of his classmates. Unfortunately, these dreams come true only if someone will take care of him once he gets sick again! This movie makes you think twice before making decisions based solely on your own personal feelings rather than looking beyond yourself. You'll see that sometimes our actions don't always reflect our intentions.<br /><br />I highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in life-changing experiences. If you want to watch something good without having to pay money, rent this movie from Blockbuster. Otherwise, buy it off Amazon.com or Netflix. And most importantly, enjoy watching it! <br /><br />(PS: Don't forget to check out my review of "Memento", which was actually quite similar to this movie.)<br /><br />Rating: 9/10<br /><br />Title (Brazil): "O Amor é um Coração Comum" ("Love Is A Common Heart")<br /><br />Director(s): Alexandre Desplat & Michael Haneke<br /><br />Writer(s): Alexandre Desplat, Michael Haneke, Erika Kessler, Paul Verhoeven, Michel Gondry<br /><br />Cast: John Ritter, David Duchovny, Jared Harris, Charlie Cox, Peter Stormare, Catherine Keener, James Nesbitt, Richard Schiff, Robert Downey Jr., Timothy	Without wishing to be a critic, I found this film very enjoyable. It was well acted and the story is quite interesting.<br /><br />The plot involves a young couple who are planning their wedding but have no money saved for it. They decide that they will go on holiday together in order to save up enough money so that when they finally get married, they can afford everything else. The problem is that they cannot find anyone willing to take them out of town because everyone knows how much trouble they would cause if they did stay at home with their parents. So instead of going off by themselves, they hire an old man (who happens to live nearby) as guide for a week or two. He turns out to be rather nice and friendly towards them all along the way and he even helps them plan some things about their wedding which they had not thought through before.<br /><br />It's worth noting that there were several times where we saw glimpses into what life must've been like for these people living in poverty back then. For example, one day, after having spent most of his time looking for food, he stops outside a restaurant and says "I'm hungry". We see him asking around until someone offers him something to eat. Another scene shows him sitting down next to a woman who looks like she has just come from work. She asks him why he hasn't eaten yet. He replies: "You know, you're starving." And another moment later, while waiting for her husband to return from work, he sees him coming toward him and sits down beside him. This is followed by more moments showing us what it must have been like for these poor folks.<br /><br />While the movie may seem somewhat dated today, it still manages to entertain me. There are many scenes involving animals and nature which make it feel fresh again. Also, the ending leaves a lot of room for interpretation. In fact, I think that the ending might actually surprise those who haven't seen it. If you enjoy films featuring characters who don't always act properly, this could be your cup of tea! 8/10<br /><br />-SPOILER ALERT -<br /><br />(Note: Spoilers ahead.)<br /><br />This review contains spoilers.<br /><br />At least once during the course of the movie, I felt myself getting dizzy. As far as I am concerned, this is probably due to my age. But since I am now over fifty years old, I guess I should warn others against seeing this film	Without wishing to be a critic, I must say that this movie is the best thing about 1980. It's not just because of its wonderful story and beautiful cinematography; it also has some truly great performances by all involved - especially from the two leads.<br /><br />The film tells the tale of an American family living in Mexico City during the Mexican Revolution (the "revolution" being the one led by Fidel Castro). The father (played brilliantly by Fernando Rey) works as a journalist for the newspaper El Universal, while his wife (who plays her part with such grace and poise), who was once married to another man but later remarried, lives in poverty on the outskirts of town. Their son, played wonderfully by Ricardo Darín, goes off to college where he meets a girl named Maria (played beautifully by Rosario Dawson).<br /><br />I won't go into too much detail here since you can find out most of what happens yourself, but if you want to know more than I've already told you, then see it! This is definitely worth watching at least twice over. And don't miss the ending either!<br /><br />This movie will make you laugh, cry, think...and maybe even get excited or scared depending upon your mood :) If you're looking for something light-hearted, funny, sweet, romantic, heartwarming, etc., then look elsewhere. But if you like movies full of action, suspense, drama, romance, humor, mystery, horror, intrigue, adventure, etc., then this is probably right up there with them all ;) <br /><br />My only complaint would have been that it took me way longer to watch it than I intended, so I didn't really get around to enjoying every single scene until well after midnight when I finally got through it. That said, however, it still deserves a solid 7/10 stars from me for sheer brilliance and excellence. A real winner for sure :-) <br /><br />PS: As many people have pointed out, the music score is excellent throughout the entire picture. My favorite song is called "El Sol", which means literally translated means "the sun". It's quite simply amazing how good these songs are written and sung by such talented artists as Carlos Gardel, Antonio Vivaldi, and others. Check 'em out if you haven't seen it yet! :) PS2: Another comment mentioned that the script wasn't very original and predictable. Well, yes, it could certainly use some work in those areas,	Without wishing to be a critic, I was intrigued by the premise of this film. The idea that we are all connected somehow is intriguing and not so far fetched as some might think.<br /><br />The problem with it however is that it's too much like a science fiction movie where you know exactly what will happen next but there isn't enough tension or suspense in the plot to keep your interest going. This makes for an uninteresting film which doesn't really have anything new to offer us either.<br /><br />There were plenty of good things about this film though including the acting performances from the main characters who made me care more about their plight than any other character on screen.<br /><br />I would recommend this film if you're looking for something different to watch but don't expect much beyond the usual sci-fi fare. It has its moments but ultimately falls short of being memorable. 4/10 out of **<br /><br />Rating: * (out of ***) <br /><br />(* = Excellent; *= Very Good; = Good; ●= Bad; -= Terrible.)	0.499997	0.500003	0.730741	0.269259
My girlfriend once brought around The Zombie Chronicles for us to watch as a joke. Little did we realize the joke was on her for paying £1 for it. While watching this film I started to come up with things I would rather be doing than watching The Zombie Chronicles. These included:<br /><br />1) Drinking bleach 2) Rubbing sand in my eyes 3) Writing a letter to Brad Sykes and Garrett Clancy 4) Re-enacting the American civil war 5) Tax returns 6) GCSE Maths 7) Sex with an old lady.<br /><br />Garrett Clancy, aka Sgt. Ben Draper wrote this? The guy couldn't even dig a hole properly. The best ting he did was kick a door down (the best part of the film). This was the worst film I have ever seen, and I've seen White Noise: The Light. Never has a film had so many mistakes in it. My girlfriend left it here, so now I live with the shame of owning this piece of crap.<br /><br />News just in: Owen Wilson watched this film and tried to kill himself. Fact.<br /><br />DO NOT WATCH	0neg	My girlfriend once brought around	My girlfriend once brought around a friend of hers who was an aspiring writer. She told him that her best book would be about the "Famous" 1960's singer, The Beatles.<br /><br />The guy said he'd write it and then she showed up at his house for the first day to see if they were going to finish their project together. He had no idea what she meant by this but decided to go ahead with it anyway because he thought it might help get some work done on his own.<br /><br />Well, when we got home from school one night after class I saw my girlfriend sitting in front of the TV watching something on T.V. It wasn't until later that evening did I realize why she didn't want me to watch anything else: there was nothing interesting on! So instead of leaving early (I think) and heading out into the woods to play video games or whatever, I went back upstairs and watched all three episodes of "The Twilight Zone".<br /><br />It was pretty much like watching any episode of "Twinz": you're supposed to take everything seriously as far as plot goes...but every now and again there are moments where things just seem so random and unbelievable that you can almost believe your eyes.<br /><br />So basically, if you've never seen "Twilight Zone", don't bother. If you have, skip right past this review and move along.<br /><br />(Note: This is not intended as a spoiler; please read the rest of this paragraph before proceeding.)<br /><br />Let's start off with the good stuff:<br /><br />- The opening credits show us two men walking down a deserted street towards a building which looks very similar to the one depicted in the series. We also hear a radio announcer saying that the city has been evacuated due to a chemical leak. Then suddenly the man turns left onto a side road and disappears behind a tree. A few minutes later, another man appears next to the same tree. They both talk to each other briefly before disappearing into the distance.<br /><br />- In the second episode, Mr. Smith tells a story about how his wife died while pregnant. When he finds out that he's expecting a baby, he decides to make sure that he takes care of it properly since he doesn't know anyone who could do it well enough. That's exactly what happens - he hires someone named Mrs. Jones to look after the baby during his absence.<br /><br />- There's a	My girlfriend once brought around this movie to me and I was so excited about it. It's the best thing that ever happened to my life.<br /><br />I have watched all of her movies, but this is by far the most entertaining one. The plot line is good enough for a comedy (which is what it really is) with some great acting from the cast including Steve Martin as well as his son Danny Martin who plays in an episode on "The Simpsons" called "Mickey Mouse".<br /><br />The music score also works very nicely throughout the film which makes you feel like you're watching something real rather than just another TV show or movie soundtrack. <br /><br />This is definitely worth seeing if your looking for a laugh out loud funny action/comedy flick! This is not only hilarious but actually has some serious messages too! You will be laughing until your stomach hurts after watching this movie!

She had this collection of 1980's and early '90's video games, including the original Super Mario Brothers (which she bought for her), Super Mario Galaxy, and many others.<br /><br />The first thing I noticed about these collectors' collections is that they were all very similar in terms of their design and graphics. They also shared one common trait: they used some sort of "mushroom" to make up the background or walls on which most of the games are set.<br /><br />I can't really explain why it bothered me but whenever someone would ask me what my favorite game was, I'd always say Super Mario Bros., even though I knew there were other great ones out there like Super Mario Land, Luigi's Mansion, and Super Smash Bros. It just seemed so obvious that I should pick the best of them because those were the only ones with mushrooms as backgrounds...<br /><br />(And no offense to any of you fans of the NES era, but don't get me started.) Anyway, when we went to visit our friends last week, he showed us his collection and told me how much fun it was playing through it together. We played through every single one of them at least twice over, and then after each play-through, we'd discuss whether or not we liked certain aspects more than others.<br /><br />One particular aspect that stood out to me was the fact that almost all the games featured characters from the SNES-era Nintendo Entertainment System. This made sense since the NES was designed specifically for home PC gaming rather than being a fully fledged console system itself; however, it still surprised me nonetheless.<br /><br />So, if anyone has ever been interested in collecting video games, especially NES-type systems, do yourself a favor by picking up a few copies of this guy's collection! You won't be disappointed!<br /><br />PS - If you're reading this post now, please tell your friends and family members to check this guy out too! He's got tons of good stuff! <br /><br />Thanks again for reading. And thanks again for watching! :)	My girlfriend once brought around a friend of hers who was an actor and he said that this movie is the best thing ever. I agree with him, it's one of my favorite movies.<br /><br />The story line is very good, but what really makes this film great are the characters. The actors were all fantastic in their roles. There wasn't any filler or unnecessary scenes. This movie has some humor as well which made me laugh many times throughout the entire movie. It also had a lot of action to keep you interested. Overall, if you like comedies then you'll love this movie! <br /><br />I highly recommend this movie for anyone looking for something different from other films out there.

Amateur, no budget films can be surprisingly good ... this however is not one of them.<br /><br />Ah, another Brad Sykes atrocity. The acting is hideous, except for Emmy Smith who shows some promise. The camera "direction" needs serious reworking. And no more "hold the camera and run" gimmicks either; it just doesn't work. The special effects are unimaginative, there's a problem when the effect can be identified in real time. If you're going to rip off an ear, please don't let us see the actor's real ear beneath the blood. The scenery is bland and boring (same as Mr. Sykes other ventures), and the music is a cross between cheap motel porn and really bad guitar driven metal (see the scenery comment).<br /><br />Did I mention the lack of any real plot, or character development? Apparently, the scriptwriter didn't.<br /><br />Whoever is funding this guy ... please stop. I've seen some of his other "home movies" (which I will not plug) and they are just as bad. Normally, a "director" will grow and learn from his previous efforts ... not this guy. It's one thing to be an amateur filmmaker, but anyone can be a hack.<br /><br />Definitely not even a popcorn film ... of course, chewing on popcorn kernels would be less painful than this effort.<br /><br />Award: The worst ever military push-ups in a film.	0neg	Amateur, no budget films can	Amateur, no budget films can be so bad that they're good.

The only thing you'll get out of it are some laughs if your in the mood for them. If not then just skip it like I did...it's really boring.<br /><br />I'm surprised that there were any people who liked this movie because its about as uninteresting as the story itself. It was one of those movies where all you see on screen is someone talking to themselves and trying to sound interesting but failing miserably.<br /><br />It doesn't have much going for it except for being an excuse to watch a bunch of actors having fun with each other. There wasn't anything special here at all. Just another lame attempt by Hollywood to try and make something funny when none exists. This will probably go down as my favorite movie ever made. <br /><br />(spoiler) 1/2 stars<br /><br />Rating: D+ (out of five)<br /><br /> Spoilers <br /><br />This is definitely NOT a comedy! Its more of a drama. You may find yourself laughing throughout most of the movie though. And thats what makes it work. A little bit of humor goes along way!<br /><br />If you want to laugh hard then this might be right up your alley. But if you aren't into comedies then avoid this at all costs. Unless you're looking for a cheap thrill ride. Then maybe give it a shot. Otherwise stay away from it. Trust me, you won't regret it. :) <br /><br />Also check out "Bend It Like Beckham" which also had great performances but didn't do quite as well as this one. However, Bend It Like Beckham was MUCH better than this one. So keep your eyes peeled for these two gems. They both deserve to be watched over and above this one. Also check out "A Simple Plan", which is actually pretty good. Though not as funny as this one. Check it out too. ;) <br /><br />And lastly, "Scoop". That movie was awesome!! Don't miss it!!! <br /><br />Oh yeah...and "Candyman" is also pretty good. Definitely worth checking out as well. Enjoy!!!!!!!!! <br /><br />PS - I've seen this movie twice now and i still haven't laughed through it	Amateur, no budget films can be very entertaining. The only problem is that they're often poorly made and not worth the time or money to watch.<br /><br />This film was a complete waste of my time as I had high hopes for it but unfortunately this one failed miserably. The plot seemed like some kind of corny "B" movie with an attempt at being funny thrown in there for good measure. It's hard to believe that someone could make such a poor film out of something so cheaply produced. This film has been released on DVD by Universal Pictures which should have known better than to release anything from this company again after their recent debacle over "The Mummy".<br /><br />I've seen many amateur productions done well (such as the 1930s silent version of "Murder In The Rue Morgue") but when you see something like this, even if it's just a few minutes long, then your expectations are lowered dramatically. There were several scenes where I thought "What the hell?" because nothing really happened except for a couple of close ups of people walking around trying to get into a house. And the acting wasn't great either! <br /><br />If you want to buy this film, rent it instead. You'll save yourself $25.00 plus shipping costs. If you don't mind watching a bunch of amateurs doing what they do best - making bad movies, go ahead...but please don't spend any more money on this piece of trash. Save your money and pick up a decent horror flick instead. Or maybe check out the other reviews here on IMDb before spending your hard earned cash. They may give you a different opinion. :)	Amateur, no budget films can be very entertaining. If you're not a fan of this genre then I don't know what to say.<br /><br />There are some good moments in the film and it's worth watching for that alone but overall it is just another boring movie with no real story or characters to speak about. The acting was OK although there were too many scenes where the actors seemed like they had never seen each other before so maybe their first time together could have been better? <br /><br />The only thing that kept me from giving it 10 stars was the ending which left me feeling cheated! It didn't make any sense at all how everything came out as it did. There wasn't enough explanation on why things happened and if anything would happen again. So much potential here...<br /><br />It's hard to give an honest review because it seems impossible to write something positive without ruining the experience. This is definitely one of those movies that will leave you disappointed after viewing it. Avoid unless you want to waste your money on tickets (which isn't really possible).<br /><br />I've heard bad reviews about this film and thought it might be interesting since it has such a low rating compared to others. But honestly, I'm glad I gave it away because now I feel more confident when recommending it to friends who may be interested in seeing it. They'll probably laugh at my comment "Avoid unless you want to waste your money on tickets" :D<br /><br />(PS: I read somewhere that this film was made by someone called 'Brendan' - sorry if anyone knows him)	Amateur, no budget films can be great. I have seen a few that were bad and some that were good but this one was just awful.<br /><br />The plot is not very interesting or original so why bother with it? The acting is terrible (I am surprised the director didn't fire them) and there are too many scenes of people talking at once which makes for boring watching. It's also hard to follow what is going on because you don't know who is speaking until they start talking in random places around the screen. <br /><br />This movie should never have been made as it would've ruined any potential comedy/comic book series created by the same writer/actor/singer. This film will probably make him famous if he ever decides to do another one like this.<br /><br />Don't waste your time on this crap! 1 out of 5 stars. If you want to see an amateurish attempt at making a decent comic book movie then rent "Freaks". That has more substance than this piece of trash. Don't even watch it unless you're into amateurish movies...you'll regret it later.<br /><br />3/10<br /><br />(spoilers ahead)<br /><br />If you liked this movie check out "Freaks" which is much better. You won't get bored watching it though.

OK its not the best film I've ever seen but at the same time I've been able to sit and watch it TWICE!!! story line was pretty awful and during the first part of the first short story i wondered what the hell i was watching but at the same time it was so awful i loved it cheap laughs all the way.<br /><br />And Jebidia deserves an Oscar for his role in this movie the only thing that let him down was half way through he stopped his silly name calling.<br /><br />overall the film was pretty perfetic but if your after cheap laughs and you see it in pound land go by it.	0neg	OK its not the best	OK its not the best movie i've seen but it is pretty good. The acting was great, and I think that they did a very nice job with what they had to work with.<br /><br />The story line wasn't as bad as some people have said though. Its just like most of their other movies where you don't really know who's going to win or lose at all times. It isn't exactly a mystery either...but thats how the plot goes in this one. If u want to see something different than your average action flick then check out this one. You'll be surprised! And if you're into watching someone die twice (like me) watch this one. It will make you laugh and cry too. This movie has alot more depth than any others on my list. There are no big explosions here so there won't be much blood flying around for you to see. But still worth seeing. 10/10<br /><br />If you haven't already checked this out go get yourself a copy. Trust me you wont regret it. Enjoy! :) <br /><br />(I'm sorry about the spelling errors.)<br /><br />-Dylan	OK its not the best movie but it is a good one. It has some great acting and I think that this film could have been better if they had made more of them like "The Princess Bride" or "Fight Club". The story was very interesting, although there were times when i thought that something might happen to the main character. But overall though, I enjoyed watching this movie.<br /><br />I would recommend this movie for anyone who likes action movies because it's really cool! If you're looking for an action flick then look elsewhere. This is a romantic comedy with a lot of laughs in it so if you want a laugh than watch this instead. However, if you are looking for a serious movie then don't bother seeing this. <br /><br />Overall: 8/10<br /><br />(Note: I saw this at my local video store) (Also note: I didn't see any spoilers here!)<br /><br />Thanks for reading...<br /><br />-Terry	OK its not the best movie ever made, but it is a good one. I'm sure that there are many better movies out there than this one.<br /><br />The story of how a man's life changes when he realizes his wife has been cheating on him with another man (the only reason why i say "cheating" is because she was married to her first husband) and then what happens next in this film is very interesting and well done by director John Carpenter.<br /><br />I personally think that if you like horror films or just want to see an entertaining movie for a change, check out this one! It doesn't have all the special effects of some other great horror flicks such as Halloween 2013, The Ring, etc...but hey, at least they don't suck!<br /><br />8/10<br /><br />-P.S.- If you haven't seen the original movie yet, get yourself a copy now before it gets released on DVD! <br /><br />(And yes, I know that this isn't exactly the same thing as the original, but still...)<br /><br />PS: This review may contain spoilers so please read ahead if you're not into the whole "spoilers" aspect of reviewing movies. :) <br /><br />~Joker~ ~By Joker~ ~(and thanks for reading my rant)<br /><br />4 comments: This movie sucks. Its slow paced, boring, predictable, and most importantly unoriginal. There were no twists, surprises, or even any suspense whatsoever. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the entire plot line was completely uninteresting. And since the movie had nothing new to offer, I found myself bored throughout the entire duration of the movie. My friends and I laughed more during the end credits than we did watching the rest of the movie. Even though I am a fan of John Carpenter, I can honestly say that this movie was terrible. Avoid at all costs. Unless you really enjoy being bored, skip this one. You will be glad you didn't waste your time. -John S.~SPOILER ALERT~<br /><br />-7/10 -Spoiler Alert- Spoilers alert End Spoiler<br /><br />Not much else to add here except that this movie sucked. So bad, in fact, that I actually felt sorry for those people who wasted their money seeing it. Of course, I wouldn't recommend	OK its not the best movie, but it is one of my favorites. It has a great story and some really good acting by all of the actors involved.<br /><br />I think that if you have seen this film before then you will know what to expect from it. The plot line was simple enough for me to follow along with easily. I loved how they used the characters in different situations throughout the entire film which made the whole thing more interesting than just watching them interacted together. <br /><br />The only reason why i didn't give this film 10 stars out of ten is because there were times when i wanted to turn off the TV or put on headphones so that i could concentrate better on the story instead of trying to watch the rest of the show. But overall, this is an excellent film that everyone should see at least once! :)<br /><br />(And yes, I did read the book first!)<br /><br />Thanks again for reading my review!<br /><br />~Nancy (my name isn't Nancy)	0.500008	0.499992	0.269272	0.730728
Some films that you pick up for a pound turn out to be rather good - 23rd Century films released dozens of obscure Italian and American movie that were great, but although Hardgore released some Fulci films amongst others, the bulk of their output is crap like The Zombie Chronicles.<br /><br />The only positive thing I can say about this film is that it's nowhere near as annoying as the Stink of Flesh. Other than that, its a very clumsy anthology film with the technical competence of a Lego house built by a whelk.<br /><br />It's been noted elsewhere, but you really do have to worry about a film that inserts previews of the action into its credit sequence, so by the time it gets to the zombie attacks, you've seen it all already.<br /><br />Bad movie fans will have a ball watching the 18,000 continuity mistakes and the diabolical acting of the cast (especially the hitchhiker, who was so bad he did make me laugh a bit), and kudos to Hardgore for getting in to the spirit of things by releasing a print so bad it felt like I was watching some beat up home video of a camping trip.<br /><br />Awful, awful stuff. We've all made stuff like this when we've gotten a hold of a camera, but common sense prevails and these films languish in our cupboards somewhere. Avoid.	0neg	Some films that you pick	Some films that you pick up at the video store, and watch with your friends. This is one of those movies.<br /><br />The story line was a little confusing to me, but I figured it out after watching several times. The acting wasn't great (I'm not even sure if any actors actually did their lines), but they were all good enough for my taste. <br /><br />This movie has some interesting characters in it, like the girl who gets her butt kicked by the guy she's dating. She doesn't seem too happy about this, but then again, she does have an older brother who cares about her more than anyone else on Earth...<br /><br />Overall, this film isn't bad, just not very well done. It had potential, but unfortunately ended up being pretty boring. But hey, what do I know? Maybe next time I'll try something different! :) 4/10<br /><br />*this review contains spoilers so don't read further unless you want to find out how the ending turns out. ;)	Some films that you pick up at the video store and only watch once or twice are a waste of time. This is one such film.<br /><br />The plot has been done to death, but it's still not enough for me to give this movie 1 out of 5 stars. The acting was terrible (the best actor in the entire movie wasn't even good), the story had no redeeming value whatsoever, and the whole thing just didn't make any sense at all. I'm sure some people will say "hey, there were lots of other movies like this" - well... maybe they did, but so what? It doesn't matter if your favorite director made another bad movie. You can always go rent something else!<br /><br />I think my worst experience with a DVD rental was when I rented "Halloween: The Curse of Frankenstein". That movie sucked as much as this one does! <br /><br />If anyone wants to see an interesting horror flick, check out "House on Haunted Hill", which actually IS scary. If you want to see a boring, uninteresting movie, check out "Scream"...<br /><br />(PS- I don't own any DVDs)	Some films that you pick up at the video store and watch for a few bucks are great. But this is one of those movies where I can't help but feel like it was made by someone who has no idea what they're doing.<br /><br />The plot: A bunch of guys go to a bar, get drunk, then have sex with each other in front of everyone else (including their own wives). The guy gets shot dead as he's about to take his first drink after getting out of bed. Then we see him being buried alive in some kind of underground chamber before coming back to life again...and so on. And all these people keep dying over and over again until there aren't enough corpses left to fill the whole movie! <br /><br />What makes this film even worse? It doesn't make sense. There's not much logic behind any of the events or characters. How did anyone survive without having an injection of adrenaline injected into them beforehand?!<br /><br />And why do they keep going around killing themselves?<br /><br />I don't know how many times I've seen this film advertised on TV, yet I still find myself watching it just because it looks interesting. If only I could stop thinking about it every time I turn the channel. This isn't a good sign. Maybe next time I'll try something different. Like "Beverly Hills Cop" instead of "This Is Spinal Tap". Or maybe I should stick to my old favorite, "Mystery Science Theater 3000." That way I won't be bored anymore. Which would mean I'd never actually finish watching anything of interest ever again. So let me say goodbye now. Thanks for listening. Bye-bye. Goodbye. See ya later. Bye-bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye.

Some films that you pick up at the video store are so good, they're almost like a bargain. This is one of them.<br /><br />The plot: A group of friends go to an old abandoned house for some fun and nothing else. They find out it's haunted by a woman who was murdered when she was 15 years old. She wants revenge on her husband (who has been killed in another murder) and will stop anyone who gets close enough to her. The only person who can help her get rid of him is a young man named Jack (played wonderfully by John Ritter).<br /><br />This film has everything you could want from a horror movie--a creepy atmosphere with lots of blood splatter, a killer who looks more human than any other character you'll see, great acting performances by all involved, and plenty of twists and turns along the way. It also features some truly hilarious moments as well.<br /><br />I've seen this film many times over the last few months, but I still enjoy watching it every time. If you haven't already, rent or buy this film! You won't be disappointed! <br /><br />(PS- Please note that there were several errors in my review; these have since been corrected.)<br /><br />Title (Brazil): "A Casa de Amor" ("The House of Love") <br /><br />Director/Writer/Director(s): José Luis Pardo <br /><br />Stars/Ratings: 7.2/10<br /><br />Rating:<br /><br />8/10 - Excellent!!! Great suspenseful thriller about two people going into a deserted house after being invited to stay because their friend's dead. There are tons of gore scenes throughout the film which makes it even scarier if you don't mind seeing a lot of bloody things. Also, the characters are very likable and believable, especially the main protagonist, Jack. He plays his role extremely well and he really shows us how to handle situations without getting too crazy. My favorite scene however comes towards the end where Jack helps the girl escape from the house...and then we just sit back and watch her run away through the woods. That scene alone made me laugh hysterically. And what better ending for such a scary story? Overall, this is definitely worth your money!!<br /><br />My Grade: B+	0.727812	0.272188	0.26925	0.73075
I received this movie as a gift, I knew from the DVD cover, this movie are going to be bad.After not watching it for more than a year I finally watched it. what a pathetic movie.<br /><br />I almost didn't finish watching this bad movie,but it will be unfair of me to write a review without watching the complete movie.<br /><br />Trust me when I say " this movie sucks" I am truly shocked that some bad filmmaker wane bee got even financed to make this pathetic movie, But it couldn't have cost more than $20 000 to produce this movie. all you need are a cheap camcorder or a cell phone camera .about 15 people with no acting skills, a scrip that were written by a couple of drunk people.<br /><br />In the fist part of this ultra bad move a reporter (Tara Woodley )run a suppose to be drunk man over on her way to report on a hunted town. He are completely unharmed. They went to a supposed to be abandon house ,but luckily for the it almost complete furnished and a bottle of liquor on the door step happens to be there. just for the supposed to be drunk man but all is not what it seems.<br /><br />Then the supposed drunk man start telling Tara ghost/zombies stories.<br /><br />The fist of his stupid lame stories must be the worst in history.<br /><br />his story<br /><br />Sgt. Ben Draper let one of his soldiers die of complete exhaustion (I think this is what happens)after letting the poor soldier private Wilson do sit ups he let him dig a grave and then the soldier collapse ,Ben Draper<br /><br />buries him in a shallow grave.<br /><br />But Sgt. Ben Draper are in for n big surprise. his wife/girl fiend knows about this and she and her lover kills Sgt. Ben Draper to take revenge on private Wilson.(next to the grave of the soldier he sort off murdered) The soldier wakes up from his grave in the form of zombie and kill them for taking revenge on his behalf.<br /><br />The twist ending were so lame.<br /><br />Even if you like B HORROR movies, don't watch this movie	0neg	I received this movie as	I received this movie as a gift from my brother. I was not expecting much, but it turned out to be one of the best movies I have ever seen! It is very well written and directed by John Hughes (the creator of "Seven"). The plot revolves around an overweight boy named Danny who gets his first big break when he wins a contest for being the most popular kid in school. He then meets up with two other kids: the nerdy girl Lisa and the pretty blonde girl Emily. They all start off having fun together until they realize that their lives are going nowhere.<br /><br />The acting in this film is superb. Everyone does what they can to make you feel sorry for them because there's no way they could do anything else. There were times where I had tears streaming down my face just thinking about how awful these people really were. But even though they're horrible, they still made me want to laugh at some point or another. This movie has so many great moments, especially since it deals with topics like bullying, self-esteem issues, and dealing with rejection.<br /><br />This movie will definitely get your attention if you haven't already watched it. If you've read any of John Hughes' books before seeing this movie, you'll probably find yourself laughing throughout the entire movie. You may also find yourself crying sometimes during certain scenes, which is understandable considering the subject matter involved. Overall, this is a must-see movie for anyone interested in comedy, drama, friendship, love, acceptance, etc. All-in-all, highly recommended!! 10/10!!!<br /><br />PS - My favorite scene involves Danny getting hit on the head by a car while running away from the bully. That alone makes this movie worth watching again and again...and again and again.... <br /><br />(Note: This review contains spoilers)	I received this movie as a gift from my son, who is 10 years old. I thought it was very good and he loved it! It's about an orphan boy named Tom Sawyer (played by Mark Strong) who lives in the small town of Storrs with his mother and father.<br /><br />Tom has always been curious to learn more than anyone else around him. He loves to read books that are not written for children - they're all interesting stories that teach important lessons. His favorite book is "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" which teaches him how to be kind and helpful towards others. This makes him want to help those people in need too!<br /><br />His best friend is Huck Figg (also played by Mark Strong), who also likes reading. They both love adventure and believe everything happens according to some sort of plan. Their friendship grows stronger over time because of their shared interests and experiences.<br /><br />This film shows us what life can really be like when you have no one or nothing but your own imagination to guide you through everyday situations. The characters are well-developed and believable; we know exactly why things happen and where they go. We feel sorry for them at times, especially Huck and Jim, who were so misunderstood and selfish.<br /><br />Although this story takes place in the past, there are many present-day references throughout the movie. For example, the townspeople talk about how they used to play hide-and-seek on Sunday afternoons before school started. There are even references to real-life events such as the Civil War and World War II. <br /><br />It's amazing how much these little details add up to make a whole story come alive. In fact, if you watch this movie again, you'll realize just how great it truly is. You will fall in love with the characters and find yourself rooting for them to succeed. If you haven't seen this movie yet, please do. You won't regret it. And don't forget: this isn't only a kids' movie, it's a family-friendly movie. So enjoy yourselves while watching this wonderful adaptation of classic literature! :)<br /><br />Rating: ** out of *** (out of five stars). Based on the novel "Life of Pi". Directed by Peter Weir. Produced by Michael Bay & David Zucker. Written by James Earl Jones and John Grisham. Original music score by Hans Zimmer. Cinematography by Richard Bartleby. Storyboards by Paul Quinn, Roger Ebert	I received this movie as a gift from my friend, who is an avid fan of the series. I have to say that it was very disappointing.<br /><br />The story line was weak and predictable. The characters were not developed enough for me to care about them at all. The acting was poor in most cases (except for one or two) but still did little to make up for these shortcomings. <br /><br />This film has been on DVD since 2001 so there must be some good reason why they released it again after only three years! It seems like every new release by Disney is just another "shiny object" which people will buy because they think it's going to be great!<br /><br />It would seem that if you want to see a good animated feature then go with Toy Story instead. This movie is nothing more than a cheap knock-off of Toy Story.

However, after watching the first 15 minutes of the film, I felt like I had been punched in the gut.<br /><br />The story is about an old man who has lived alone for years with his only daughter (played by Jennifer Connelly) living on her own. She runs away one day and ends up getting involved with some bad guys that are trying to steal her car. The problem is she doesn't know how to drive so they keep taking her around town until she finally gets home. This leads to more trouble than you can imagine...<br /><br />There were several scenes where there seemed to be no reason at all why these people would do what they did except because they wanted money or something else. There wasn't any sense whatsoever in them doing anything other than stealing cars and driving off with their loot. It just didn't make much sense.<br /><br />Jennifer Connelly plays the role well enough but even then I couldn't help feeling sorry for her character. Her acting style was very wooden and unconvincing. At times it almost made me feel sorry for her when things went wrong and she ended up having to fight back against those who tried to take advantage of her situation.<br /><br />This movie could have easily turned into a comedy if it hadn't taken itself too seriously. You don't want your audience laughing out loud during such a serious plot line. <br /><br />Overall, I found myself wishing that I'd never seen this movie nor spending time with anyone who might have enjoyed it. If you're going to spend $30 to see this type of crap, maybe try renting it instead! Otherwise, stay far away from this movie. Your chances of enjoying it will probably be slim-to-none. Just avoid it at all costs!<br /><br />(Note: Spoilers ahead!)<br /><br />Spoilers Ahead<br /><br />In the beginning of the movie we get introduced to two characters named "Eddie" and "Hank". Eddie seems to be the guy who's always got a load of cash lying around somewhere. Hank is the guy who lives in a trailer park and he likes to drink beer while talking to his friends over the phone. They both seem pretty harmless and likable. But soon afterwards, everything changes. We find out that Eddie is actually a drug dealer and that Hank is actually a hit-man hired by someone called "Buddy"	0.500006	0.499994	0.500003	0.499997
I have not seen many low budget films i must admit, but this is the worst movie ever probably, the main character the old man talked like, he had a lobotomy and lost the power to speak more than one word every 5 seconds, a 5 year old could act better. The story had the most awful plot, and well the army guy had put what he thought was army like and then just went over the top, i only watched it to laugh at how bad it was, and hoped it was leading onto the real movie. I cant believe it was under the 2 night rental thing at blockbusters, instead of a please take this for free and get it out of our sight. I think there was one semi decent actor other than the woman, i think the only thing OK with the budget was the make up, but they show every important scene of the film in the beginning music bit. Awful simply awful.	0neg	I have not seen many	I have not seen many horror movies, but I must say that this one is the worst movie ever. The plot was so stupid and unbelievable that it made me want to throw up! It had no suspense or anything at all.<br /><br />The acting wasn't even good enough for a low budget film like this! There were some really bad actors in this movie (including myself) who seemed more interested in making fun of each other than actually playing their roles!<br /><br />This movie should be banned from being shown on TV, as well as DVD. If you are looking for something truly scary, go see "Carnosaur" instead. This movie has nothing worth watching about. Avoid this movie if you can! <br /><br />If you're still reading, please tell me what your thoughts are? Please let me know how much better this movie would have been without the ridiculous plot and poor acting. Thank You!!!!!!<br /><br />(PS: I am 17 years old.)<br /><br />Thanks again!!! :)	I have not seen many movies about the Vietnam war, and I am a very picky person. This movie was so bad that it made me want to vomit.<br /><br />The story is just terrible. The acting is horrible. It's like watching someone else read their lines. There are some good scenes in this film but they're few and far between. You could watch them all over again if you wanted to.<br /><br />This is one of those films where there is no logic or reason behind what happens. All we see is people running around with guns pointed at each other while trying to escape from something (usually another man).<br /><br />There were several times when I thought "what the hell happened?" And then I realized that nothing had changed since the beginning.<br /><br />If you love watching people run around shooting each other up, do yourself a favor and don't waste your time on this piece of crap. If you can stand to be entertained for 10 minutes, go ahead and rent this thing. But if you really need to sit through an hour long boring movie, avoid this one completely. I'm sure you'll find better things to watch than this. <br /><br />(spoiler) What does happen? A bunch of guys get shot by a helicopter! That's right, the guy who ran away from the scene gets killed because he didn't know how to shoot properly...and his buddy got shot too!<br /><br />That's pretty much it. Just a bunch of stupid men getting shot and dying. Why did they even bother?<br /><br />All in all, I give this movie a score of two out of ten. Not worth wasting any more time on. Don't waste yours either. Go rent something else instead. Or maybe try to make sense of this mess yourself before spending money on it. Otherwise, skip it altogether. It will probably be worse than this. Oh well, at least I wasted my time. Good luck finding something better to watch though.<br /><br />5/10<br /><br />Rating: **1/2 stars - Bad Movie Rating : 3/4 Stars - Very Bad Movie Rating : 1/2 Stars - Poorly Made Movie Rating : 1/2 Stars - Terrible Movie Rating : **1/2 Stars - Excellent Movie Rating : ******1/2 Stars - Extremely Great Movie Rating : ********1/2 Stars - Fantastic Movie Rating : *********1/2 Stars - Brilliant Movie Rating	I have not seen many horror movies, but this one is the worst. It's a very stupid movie with no plot and almost nothing to do other than show you how bad it is.<br /><br />The acting was terrible, especially by the lead actor (who I thought looked like he had just been hit in the face). The rest of the cast were also pretty awful. There are some good things about this film though: the sound effects at times were really cool! <br /><br />If you want something that will make your brain explode then go for "Scream 2". If you don't mind watching an idiotic movie then watch this instead. You'll be glad you didn't waste your time on this piece of crap. 1/10. Don't even bother buying or renting this thing...it won't get better!!<br /><br />3 outta 5 stars. Just because someone has a low opinion doesn't mean they're right. This isn't a review so please stay away from me! :) 9/10<br /><br />Rating based on my own personal experience. Please do NOT take any offense if you find this comment offensive. My only intention here was to warn others off this movie. Thanks. -SPOILER ALERT- <br /><br />(Spoiler Alert) In the end, when the killer finally kills his victim, we see him fall down into the water below. He looks up and sees a woman swimming towards him. She falls over onto her backside as she swims toward him. Then suddenly, all of a sudden, there is a loud popping noise coming from nowhere. We hear screaming and gunfire. A few seconds later, we see the killer running through the woods, shooting people. And then, after a while, we see him walking along the side of the road, looking around before turning left. After a few more minutes, we see him walk past another car, drive off, and disappear into the distance. That's where the ending comes from. So, basically, what happens next? Well, apparently, the killer turns around and walks back to his vehicle. When he gets inside, he starts driving again, but seems to forget everything else until he hits a tree branch, which causes him to lose control of his vehicle. At first, he tries to stop, but ends up crashing into a nearby house, killing himself instantly. But, he somehow manages to escape, making it home. From there, we know exactly who killed the girl and why. However,	I have not seen many films in my life, but this one is the worst. I was expecting a good movie and got something much worse than that.<br /><br />The plot has no point to it at all. The acting is terrible. It's like watching someone do their homework for school without any real knowledge of what they are doing. <br /><br />This film should be banned from being shown on TV or cinema screens everywhere because there will always be people who don't understand how bad this film really is. And if you see this film remember: "Don't watch it!"<br /><br />(It's also very sad seeing the actors crying after having watched such an awful film.)<br /><br />My vote is 1/10 (out of ten). A pity!

..Oh wait, I can! This movie is not for the typical film snob, unless you want to brush up on your typical cinematic definitions, like "continuity editing" and "geographic match". I couldn't tell where I was in this movie. One second they're in the present, next minute their supposedly in the 70's driving a modern SUV and wearing what looked like to me as 80's style clothing. I think. I couldn't pay long enough attention to it since the acting was just horrible. I think it only got attention because it has a 3d which I did not watch. If you're a b-movie buff, and by b-movie I mean BAD movie, then this film is for you. It's home-movie and all non-sense style will keep you laughing for as long as you can stay awake. If your tastes are more for Goddard and Antonioni, though, just skip this one.	0neg	..Oh wait, I can! This	..Oh wait, I can! This is a great movie. It's not the best film ever made but it has some good moments and it does have its flaws.<br /><br />The story of this film was based on an idea by a young writer who had been rejected from several literary magazines for his work. He decided to write another novel after he got back together with his wife and they were both working in the same office. The main character (the man) works at a bank where there are no women so when he meets the woman (the girl), she seems like the perfect match for him. However, things don't go as planned because her father-in-law (a very old guy) tries to keep them apart even though the two men love each other deeply. In fact, their relationship becomes more complicated than anything else that happened between these characters before.<br /><br />This is one of those films you will watch over and over again just because it makes you laugh or cry or get angry or whatever your reaction might be. If you're looking for something serious then look elsewhere. But if you want a fun romantic comedy, this is definitely worth watching. And if you do decide to give it a try...you'll probably regret it later!<br /><br />I really hope that someone reads my review and gives me the opportunity to see this film again someday. Because it deserves better than what it gets nowadays. <br /><br />4/10 stars out of 5<br /><br />(If you've read my reviews about other movies please let me know how much you liked them.)<br /><br />PS: I'm sorry if any spoilers are going to pop up here - I didn't mean to make anyone feel bad. Just wanted to warn people off seeing this film. :) Thanks guys!! :D	..Oh wait, I can! This is the best movie of all time. It's so good that it has to be seen by everyone who wants a great film.<br /><br />It's not just about the story - the acting and direction are excellent as well. The cinematography is also very impressive.<br /><br />I don't know how many times you have heard this saying: "A good movie should make people cry." Well, in my opinion, this one does exactly that. You will definitely feel something when watching this movie. <br /><br />The music is perfect for this kind of movie. And if you like classical music (like me), then watch this movie on your CD player or MP3 player. But do remember that there are no subtitles, but fortunately they're available at the DVD box office.<br /><br />This movie was made in 1986, but still holds true today. In fact, it might even hold up better than most movies from those years because of its timeless quality. If you want to see an outstanding film with some real depth, look into this one. It's worth seeing more than once!<br /><br />And now let's hear what other viewers think...<br /><br />"Wow! What a masterpiece!" ~Derek Jeter<br /><br />"What makes this movie special? It's got great actors playing great characters. Great directing. Wonderful soundtrack. A wonderful ending. All things considered, this is a must-see movie."<br /><br />(from IMDb) <br /><br />"Great performance by Robert De Niro, especially his role as the father figure to the son he raised after he had lost his wife. He gives a powerful performance here. His character is tragic and sadistic and yet we get to care for him through his actions. The scene where he tries to kill himself is truly touching and moving. Also, the scenes between the two sons were really nice too. They both show their emotions towards each other without ever being rude to each other. Overall, this is a great movie. Highly recommended. My vote is nine out of ten stars." ~Mark D'Amato<br /><br />"If you love classic films, this is the movie for you. There isn't much else to say except that this is a fantastic movie. It's not only entertaining, but incredibly emotional. The acting is superb, particularly from Robert DeNiro. The script is cleverly written and the dialogue is hilarious. The score is absolutely stunning and adds	..Oh wait, I can! This movie is so bad it's good. It has the same plot as "The Matrix", but with a lot more nudity and sex scenes.<br /><br />I'm not sure if this film was written by someone who had some sort of sexual orientation problem or just didn't care enough to write anything that wasn't terrible (and probably also because he wrote nothing).<br /><br />The acting isn't very good either - especially from the lead actress in her first role since "American Beauty". She looks like she could have been better off at home instead of on screen.<br /><br />And what about all those great lines? The best one comes straight out of the mouth of the main character: "You're gonna be dead before you even get there." <br /><br />This movie should never have made it into theaters. If only they'd let me watch it again...<br /><br />(Note to self: Never read any reviews for this movie.)<br /><br />1/2 stars. 40 minutes of my life wasted. 3/5 stars. 89 seconds of my life wasted. 7/10 stars. 6 hours of my life spent watching this crap. 1/10 stars. 1 hour and 1 minute of my life spent watching this crap. 1/10 stars. 4/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/10 stars. 1/	..Oh wait, I can! This movie is so bad it's good. It has a great plot and some really cool special effects (I'm not sure if they're real or just made for this film). The acting isn't too bad either.<br /><br />The only thing that goes against the whole premise of the story is the fact that there are no characters to develop in the first half hour. There's nothing interesting about any of them except maybe one guy who seems like he might be interested in something but never does anything with his life. After 20 minutes though you start getting into the story and starting to care what happens next.<br /><br />There's also a lot of dialogue which makes me wonder how much time was actually spent on writing it because most of it sounds like gibberish. And then there's the fight scenes. They look pretty stupid as well. But hey, at least we get to see lots of explosions!<br /><br />This movie should have been called "A Bad Movie" instead of "Bad Movie".<br /><br />(spoiler) <br /><br />My Grade: B+ out of four<br /><br />Title (Brazil): "O Ponto do Morte" ("The Point of Death")<br /><br />Director: José Luis Vargas<br /><br />Stars: Fábio Ferreira, Raul Meirano, Claudio Lopes, Marcelo Silva, Maria Barros, Luiz Fernando Pereira, Pedro Vieira, Renato de Souza, Ricardo Oliveira, Roberto Carneiro, Mariana Leite, Nuno da Costa, Francisco Alves, Sílvia Soares, Erika Mendes, Carlos Gomes, Giovanna Moreira, Silvio Amorim, Bruno Teles, Paulo Henrique dos Santos, Jorge Machado, Marco Antonio Jardim, António Cunha, Gabriel Britto, Tadeu Filho, Luciano Correia, Sebastião De Freitas, Eduardo Braga, João Lourenço, Hélio Magalhães, José Ramon Martins, José Vicente de Jesus, José Luís Borges, José Carlos Chagas, José Augusto Pinheiro, José Carlos Pinheiro, José Carlos Pinheiro, José Carlos Pinheiro, José Carlos Pinheiro, José Carlos Pinheiro, José Carlos Pinheiro, José Carlos Pinheiro, José Carlos Pinheiro, José Carlos Pinheiro, José Carlos Pinheiro, José Carlos Pinheiro, José Carlos Pinheiro	0.499987	0.500013	0.499598	0.500402
You have to admire Brad Sykes even if you don't particularly want to, a man who churns out budget horror after budget horror to less than enthusiastic receptions. But keeps on doing it all the same. Even the half-hearted praise than surrounds his Camp Blood films is given grudgingly and I'm as guilty of this as anyone. Brad normally manages to throw something interesting into the mix, a neat idea, a kooky character, whatever, but without the funds to take it further than base level, he relies on the audience to cut him some slack and appreciate it for what it is and what it could be. Joe Haggerty gives a spirited and very funny performance as Ebenezer Jackson and its a credit to Sykes that he can sense that this oddball turn is going to work within the framework of the film. Coming to a multiplex near you, in a parallel universe, somewhere.	0neg	You have to admire Brad	You have to admire Brad Pitt for his ability to pull off a role that is so different from what he's done before. He plays a man who has lost everything, and yet somehow manages to get by on the strength of his faith in God.<br /><br />It was an interesting movie because it wasn't just about religion or spirituality but also about how people can be affected by circumstances they don't control. It showed us that even when we are faced with terrible situations like these, there is still hope and love within ourselves.<br /><br />I thought this film was very well made. I would recommend it to anyone interested in seeing something new. The acting was excellent as were all the supporting characters. I think you'll enjoy it if you're looking for a good drama without being too preachy. This one will leave you feeling hopeful and uplifted after watching it. <br /><br />If you haven't seen it already, go rent it! You won't regret it. 9/10. Recommended.

When his father dies suddenly, Soul survives alone until he meets a woman named Mary Ann. She helps him through many difficult moments and eventually becomes his friend. However, things take a turn for the worse when her boyfriend shows up unexpectedly. After she leaves, Soul begins to feel isolated and lonely. His life takes another unexpected turn when he finds himself falling in love with her. But soon enough, he realizes that his feelings aren't reciprocated and decides to end his relationship forever. As fate seems to play tricks on him, he ends up back in the same situation once again only now he must face the fact that he may never find true happiness ever again. Is he able to overcome his past mistakes? Or did he lose it altogether?<br /><br />This is a great little indie flick that makes no pretensions whatsoever. It's based around a simple premise which is easy to understand and follow. And while it isn't exactly a masterpiece, it's definitely worth checking out if you	You have to admire Brad Pitt for his ability to make a movie that is so bad it's good. The plot of this film, which was written by the same guy who wrote "The Usual Suspects" and "Fight Club", is about an undercover cop (Pitt) trying to track down a serial killer in Mexico.<br /><br />But what makes this movie great are all those things that you can't help but love: the cinematography; the music; the acting; the dialogue; the editing...<br /><br />This is one of my favorite movies ever! It has everything!<br /><br />I'm not sure if I'll watch another Pitt movie because he seems like such a talented actor, but I will definitely be watching more from him now. This movie made me laugh out loud several times, especially when the cops were being chased around on motorcycles with their guns pointed at them while they drove along side-by-side in front of a speeding car. That scene alone would've been enough to win me over as a fan of Pitt. But even without that scene, the rest of the movie is just hilarious.<br /><br />If you haven't seen this movie yet, go rent or buy it right away. You won't regret it. And don't get me wrong--it isn't perfect, nor does it deserve 10 stars. But it's still very entertaining and worth your time. If only there weren't so many other crappy movies coming out every week! <br /><br />(And yes, I am aware that some people might find this review offensive.)<br /><br />PS - What did you think of this movie? Do you agree with me?

He plays the part of an American military man who has been sent on assignment in Afghanistan and he does it with such ease that you don't even know what's going on until the end.<br /><br />The movie is about a young soldier named Jack (Pitt) who gets assigned to a mission where he'll be exposed to some very dangerous situations, but also meets up with two other soldiers called "Buddy" and "Sandy".<br /><br />Jack doesn't really get much time to spend alone because they are all working together as one unit which makes him feel like he belongs there. The story is pretty good overall although I think we could've done more with this film since the ending was kind of rushed and didn't make any sense at all.<br /><br />Overall, if you're into action movies then you might enjoy this one. If not, well... just watch another action movie or something else. <br /><br />I give this movie 7/10 outta 10. It wasn't perfect by any means though. But hey, sometimes you gotta take your chances! :) Oh yeah, and don't forget to check out my review of "Machete Kills", which is another great action flick from director Paul Greengrass!<br /><br />PS: I'm sure Brad will do better than this next time around. ;)<br /><br />8 outta 10<br /><br />-Kris	You have to admire Brad Pitt for his ability to pull off a role that is so difficult, it makes you wonder if he was born with the talent or just grew up in Hollywood. The movie "The Aviator" has all of those qualities and more.<br /><br />Pitt plays an ex-military pilot who becomes obsessed with flying again after seeing his best friend's plane crash on the ground near him. He takes over as captain of his old squadron but soon finds out that this isn't going to be easy. His new job involves flying around the world while trying to find a way back home safely. <br /><br />This film does not take itself too seriously at times which can make some viewers uncomfortable because they may think that Pitt is being overly dramatic (which I don't believe). But there are plenty of laughs here from small moments like when he gets into a fight with one of the pilots during training and then goes through hell getting them to stop fighting each other until finally they realize that they're both idiots.<br /><br />I also thought that the character played by the beautiful Kate Beckinsale was very good - she really brought her character to life and made me care about what happened to her.<br /><br />Overall, "The Aviator" is a great action flick that will keep your attention throughout its 108 minutes! It's definitely worth watching even though it might seem a little slow sometimes. And it doesn't hurt that Pitt is absolutely gorgeous playing the part of a man whose past brings him down hard...<br /><br />(spoilers) If you enjoy action films, check out "The Aviator". You'll love it! :)	0.500018	0.499982	0.499981	0.500019
THE ZOMBIE CHRONICLES <br /><br />Aspect ratio: 1.33:1 (Nu-View 3-D)<br /><br />Sound format: Mono<br /><br />Whilst searching for a (literal) ghost town in the middle of nowhere, a young reporter (Emmy Smith) picks up a grizzled hitchhiker (Joseph Haggerty) who tells her two stories involving flesh-eating zombies reputed to haunt the area.<br /><br />An ABSOLUTE waste of time, hobbled from the outset by Haggerty's painfully amateurish performance in a key role. Worse still, the two stories which make up the bulk of the running time are utterly routine, made worse by indifferent performances and lackluster direction by Brad Sykes, previously responsible for the likes of CAMP BLOOD (1999). This isn't a 'fun' movie in the sense that Ed Wood's movies are 'fun' (he, at least, believed in what he was doing and was sincere in his efforts, despite a lack of talent); Sykes' home-made movies are, in fact, aggravating, boring and almost completely devoid of any redeeming virtue, and most viewers will feel justifiably angry and cheated by such unimaginative, badly-conceived junk. The 3-D format is utterly wasted here.	0neg	THE ZOMBIE CHRONICLES <br /><br	THE ZOMBIE CHRONICLES <br /><br />Director: David Lynch<br /><br />Writer: John Cusack, Robert Englund & Peter Straughan<br /><br />Stars: Ed Harris, Kate Capshaw, Michael Imperioli, Christopher Eccleston, and Mary McDonnell<br /><br />Plot Summary:<br /><br />(1) A young woman named Rachel (Kate Capshaw), who is a zombie hunter in the woods of New York City, gets attacked by zombies. She escapes from her home to an abandoned warehouse where she meets up with a group of people that are also looking for Rachel.<br /><br />(2) The other characters include: a man named Mike (Christopher Eccleston); a girl named Sarah (Mary McDonnell); a boy called Jake (Ed Harris); a girl named Emily (Michael Imperioli); and a guy named Matt (Peter Straughan).<br /><br />The plot line revolves around these characters as they try to find out more about Rachel's identity and how she escaped from the hospital where she was taken after being bitten by a zombie. There isn't much action or gore involved but there are some good performances throughout the film which makes it worth watching even if you don't like zombies. I would recommend this movie to anyone interested in horror films because it has a lot going on without any nudity or sex scenes. It does have its share of blood splatter though so be prepared for that! 7/10<br /><br />My Grade: B+ <br /><br />Title (Brazil): "O Zombie" ("Zombie")<br /><br />Runtime: 85 Minutes<br /><br />Release Date: October 9th, 1996<br /><br />DVD Extras: Commentary; Featurette; Trailers; Making-of Video; Cast Interviews; Music Videos; Audio commentary; Deleted Scenes; Outtakes; Storyboards; Screenplay Notes; Original Soundtrack; Artwork Gallery; and Trailer.

The story follows a young woman named Mandy (Linda Hamilton) who goes to visit her father at his farm where she meets a strange man named Dr. Frankenstein played by Christopher Lee. He tells her he's created a new species of monster called the Zombie which can turn into people if you touch it or kill them. When they return home, Mandy finds out that there are many other zombies around town but no one seems to care much for them because most townspeople just think of them as freaks rather than monsters. One day, while cleaning up their house, they find a dead body lying next to a pile of bones. They decide to take it away so nobody else will know what happened to it. But when they bring it back from the grave, they discover that the corpse isn't really dead anymore! It turns into a zombie-like being with glowing red eyes and sharp teeth...and it wants revenge!<br /><br />The film starts off slowly with lots of slow-motion shots of the zombies walking around town until we get introduced to our main characters--Mandy and Dr. Frankenstein. We also meet several supporting characters including a doctor played by Michael Gough and a nurse played by Brenda Vaccaro. I liked this character since she was not only funny but had a lot of personality too. The rest of the cast were pretty good except for the two leads who seemed to be trying too hard to act like zombies instead of acting human. This made me wonder why these actors thought they needed to play zombies. In fact, all three lead actors seem to have trouble playing any role besides zombies. And even though Linda Hamilton did do quite well here, she wasn't able to make us believe anything she said either. She didn't try too hard to act scary enough to scare anyone apart from herself. Her performance felt more like a joke then anything else. On top of that, the script was weak and predictable. There weren't any	THE ZOMBIE CHRONICLES <br /><br />The Zombie Chronicles is a great movie. It's not only about zombies, but it also has some good jokes and funny moments.<br /><br />This film was directed by the same guy who made "Zombi 3" (which I thought was pretty bad), so you can expect to see more of that kind of humor in this one too. The first two films were very well done, with lots of laughs throughout. This time around they're just as entertaining, if even funnier than before! There are many different types of zombie movies out there, from those where people get eaten alive or have their brains taken away, to ones which show us how much we love our pets when they die...<br /><br />I think most of the actors did an excellent job here; especially the kids playing the zombies themselves. They all had fun doing what they do best: acting!<br /><br />Overall, I give this movie a 10/10. If you like comedy horror, then you'll really enjoy this one.

They are attacked by zombies who have been brought back after their last attack.<br /><br />The film is based on the novel "Zombie Chronicles" written by James M. Cain. The film was directed by John Hough and stars Robert Englund as Joe, Chris Lloyd as Jimmy, David Duchovny as Chuckie, and William Forsythe as the ghostly Sheriff. The movie has some good zombie effects (such as those in the trailer) but it's not very scary or well done overall. It does get better towards the end though. I give this one an eight out of ten because there were decent special features included with my rental copy. This would be great if they had more than two episodes. For example, maybe they could include at least three scenes where we see people being eaten alive? That way, instead of just seeing them walk around like zombies, we'd actually know what kind of zombies these guys really were! Also, why did they keep having the same guy play all the roles?? He seemed pretty much identical throughout the whole thing...<br /><br />I gave this film four out of five stars because it got better toward the end. If you're looking for something that will scare you then don't bother renting this one.

A woman asks for advice on the road to reach a mysterious town, and hears two ghoulish stories from the local weirdo, both zombie related. But perhaps fate has something nasty in store for her too...<br /><br />The Zombie Chronicles is absolutely one of the worst films I have ever seen. In fact I must confess, so bad was it I fast forwarded through most of the garbage. And there was a lot of that, believe me. It runs for just 69 minutes, and there is still tons of filler. You get some skinhead doing a lot of push ups, plenty of dull kissy-kissy scenes between goofy teens (that rhymed, tee hee) and some fine examples of why some people should never become actors.<br /><br />As for the title characters, they barely even have a footnote in the film. Why, you get more undead action in the intro than you do the preceding feature! Though, considering how pathetic the eyes bursting out of sockets and the eating of brains sequences are (amongst other 'delights'), maybe that's a blessing in disguise.<br /><br />And to top it all off, it looks likes it's been filmed on someone's mobile phone for broadcast on Youtube. Jerky camera-work, scratches on the print, flickering lights... I had to rub my eyes when I realised it was made in 2001, and not 1971. Even the clothes and fashioned look about three decades out of date!<br /><br />If you think I'm not qualified to do a review of Chronicles having not seen the whole film, then go ahead. YOU try sitting through it, I betcha you won't even make it to the first appearance of the blue-smartie coloured freaks before making your excuses and leaving. It is truly laughable that anyone chose to release it, and honestly you'll get far more fun resting your drink on the disc than actually torturing your DVD player with this gigglesome excuse for horror. In fact, don't for surprised if it packs it's bags and leaves in the morning, leaving you doomed to watch VHS tapes for the rest of your life.

The man tells her that he has been dead 10 years and she should go to the cemetery, where there are no gravesites.<br /><br />The next day, she goes to the cemetery with some friends of hers. She meets up with another person in the cemetery, but they don't talk much at all. Then one night, when they're talking about their lives, they find out that they both died young because of drugs or alcoholism. They decide not to tell anyone else what happened.<br /><br />Then, after a while, someone comes into the graveyard and starts singing "I'm Gonna Be A Woman".<br /><br />She finds herself thinking: What's this song? Is it supposed to be funny? Or does it mean something serious?<br /><br />After hearing the song again, she realizes that the whole thing was just an experiment by these two people...<br /><br />Watched it last week on TV, I think it might have been rated R (Raising HIV/AIDS Awareness). It had me laughing my ass off! This movie really made me realize how stupid we can get as human beings sometimes. <br /><br />It also reminded me of the movie "Bend It Like Beckham", which I saw recently too. Both movies were very similar - you know, the characters act like idiots most of the time, and then suddenly they turn out to be smart people later on. But in the end, neither movie ever got over its absurdity. In fact, Bend It Like Beckham is even more ridiculous than Bigger Than Life. And that's saying something!<br /><br />Anyway, if you want to see a good comedy without any nudity or violence, check out this movie! You won't regret it! (And yes, I did laugh.)<br /><br />(Note: I didn't watch the original version; only the dubbed English version)	A woman asks for advice on how to get pregnant. She is told that she should try a new method of getting her period, and it will make the process easier.<br /><br />The next day, the same lady goes out with her boyfriend at night in order to have sex but he leaves before they can do anything else. The following morning, she wakes up feeling sick, so she takes an aspirin. When she gets home from work, she tells her husband about what happened. He says there's no way this was possible because his wife had never taken any medicine or even eaten food since she got married. <br /><br />This scene shows us the difference between real life and fiction: we are not given enough information to know if the doctor who gave the instructions did it right or wrong; nor does anyone really understand why the woman would want to take an aspirin after having sex. It just seems like a bad joke trying to show how unrealistic things could be...<br /><br />I think I'm going to write another review saying "this movie sucks" when it comes time to vote for it! But as far as I am concerned, it doesn't deserve one star (and maybe two). Although, I'll give it 1/2 stars simply because it has some good parts - especially the part where the man tries to explain himself by telling the story over and over again until he finally realizes something is seriously wrong. And although the ending isn't very satisfying, it still makes sense once you realize everything leading up to it wasn't all planned out beforehand.<br /><br />(Note: This film contains explicit scenes involving masturbation.)<br /><br />'saw this movie last week while watching my friend's friends' birthday party. We were both laughing hysterically throughout most of the movie, which probably explains why it made me feel uncomfortable afterwards. I don't recommend seeing this unless your family members are willing to watch it together. Otherwise, go ahead and enjoy yourself!<br /><br />My rating: 3/5<br /><br />* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *	A woman asks for advice on how to get a man. She is told that she should not be afraid of men, because they are all the same and therefore there's no reason why you can't find someone who will love you.<br /><br />This movie has been around since 1985 when it was released in Germany but I've never seen it before so I'm going to give my thoughts here.<br /><br />I like this film very much as it shows us what we could do if we were brave enough to ask questions about ourselves and our lives. It also gives an insight into people's inner world which makes me think that maybe we don't always see everything from outside - sometimes we just want to know more! The way the story develops is great and the ending leaves room for interpretation (as well as some surprises).<br /><br />The acting isn't perfect (the main character is played by the lovely Barbara Schmid) but it doesn't matter too much as long as you enjoy watching her act.<br /><br />Overall: A good film with lots of interesting ideas and characters!<br /><br />Rating: 7/10<br /><br />My rating: 6 out of 10 stars.<br /><br />PS: This review contains spoilers... <br /><br />(spoilers)<br /><br />Thanks for reading! :)	A woman asks for advice from a doctor about her husband's condition. The man is in the hospital and he tells his wife that she should take him to see a psychiatrist because of some mental problems.<br /><br />The film starts with an interview between the patient (the man) and the psychiatrist who has been treating him since 1980, but it ends up being a flashback where we get to know more about the psychiatrist himself: he was born in Germany, grew up in Switzerland, studied medicine at Berlin University and then went on to become a psychiatrist in Vienna before moving to New York City. He married two times - first with his first wife when they were both young and had no children; later with another woman after their second marriage ended due to infidelity. In this movie he talks about how he became a psychiatrist, what happened during those years and why he decided to do so.<br /><br />In the meantime, the man goes through many changes, including losing his job as a teacher and having to deal with several different relationships. At one point he even loses his son by mistake while trying to save him from drowning! But despite all these difficulties, he still manages to keep working as a psychologist until finally finding happiness again. It turns out that he lost his sanity long ago. <br /><br />This is not a typical story of a mentally ill person seeking help from a psychiatrist or getting better, although there are certainly elements like that here too. This is also not a typical story of someone who gets depressed and becomes suicidal just because he can't find love anymore. Instead, it deals with real-life issues such as loneliness, depression, addiction and family breakdowns. All of them have something to do with a person becoming crazy. And I think that most people will agree that if you're going through anything similar yourself, this could be very helpful. There isn't much dialogue involved in the film, which makes it easier to follow along without any distractions. However, if you want to watch a psychological thriller, don't miss it!<br /><br />I've seen other reviews mentioning that the ending wasn't satisfying enough and that the character played by Michael Caine didn't seem convincing. Well, let me tell you that the best thing about the film is that it doesn't really care whether your opinion is right or wrong. If you liked it, great! If you disliked it, well...that's fine too! You'll understand it eventually anyway. So if you enjoyed this film, please give it a chance! Otherwise, go	0.730677	0.269323	0.500002	0.499998
Really, I can't believe that I spent $5 on this movie. I am a huge zombie fanatic and thought the movie couldn't be that bad. It had zombies in it right? Was I wrong! To be honest the movie had it's moments...I thought it was cool when the guy got his head ripped off but that was about it. Overall I think that it would be more enjoyable to slide down a razorblade slide on my bare nutsack into a vat of vinegar then watch this movie again. The movie could have been better if we could see some boob but I had to watch the trailers for the other movies produced by this company to see that. Buyer beware...unless you are into masochism.	0neg	Really, I can't believe that	Really, I can't believe that this movie is still playing in theaters. It's a great film and the actors are all very good but it just doesn't work as well as some of the other movies they've done (the first one being "The Exorcist" which was also quite good).<br /><br />This movie has a lot going for it: it's got an interesting plot with lots of twists and turns; there are two main characters who seem to be falling into each others' laps at different times; the acting by everyone involved is excellent.<br /><br />However, what really makes this movie so bad is its pacing. The story moves too slowly and seems like it could have been cut down to about 90 minutes if you wanted to see everything happen fast enough. This would probably make the movie more enjoyable since you wouldn't want to waste time waiting around for something to happen or wait until later on in the movie when things become even worse than usual. But instead we get boring scenes where nothing happens while the rest of the movie goes along without any real action happening. And then there's the ending! We're supposed to feel happy because someone gets out of hell after being trapped inside forever? Well, nope!<br /><br />In conclusion, I give this movie a 3/10. If you don't mind watching slow moving crap flicks, go ahead and watch this one - otherwise stay away from it. Or maybe rent another horror movie...you never know. <br /><br />(I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist.)	Really, I can't believe that this movie was ever made. It's so bad it makes "The Matrix" look like a masterpiece.<br /><br />I'm not sure what the point of making such an awful film is for; maybe to make people laugh? If you're going to do something wrong and then try to explain why in your own words, don't even bother trying! This one just doesn't work!<br /><br />It starts off with some guy (who looks like he might be 10 years old) getting hit by a car while driving his motorcycle through a field. He gets out of the vehicle and runs around screaming bloody murder as if someone had punched him in the face. Then we see a bunch of guys running after him and they all get shot at once...and there are no bullets or guns involved. The only thing that seems to have happened here is that these guys got run over by their motorcycles, which were completely unharmed. There's also a scene where a man who looks like he could be about 25 has a gun pointed directly at another person while they both walk down a street. They keep walking along without saying anything until suddenly the other person turns around and shoots them right in front of our eyes. That's how bad this movie really is.<br /><br />There's lots more crap on this movie but I'll spare you the list. You've probably seen enough of my rantings already. Don't waste your time watching this garbage unless you want to watch a bunch of stupid idiots shoot each other with real guns instead of plastic ones. Or, better yet, buy the DVD version because it comes with a bonus feature called "A Movie About A Guy Who Can't Think Straight." And yes, I know that sounds corny but hey, sometimes you gotta take advantage of those rare occasions when you actually enjoy movies. But seriously, skip this one. <br /><br />(spoilers ahead)<br /><br />SPOILERS CONTAIN SPOILER<br /><br />One day, the director decides to go back into the past and stop a group of teenagers from killing themselves. One of the teens does die during the process but the rest of the gang keeps shooting each other up until finally, they decide to kill the whole lot together. Of course, things aren't quite as simple as that since the killer isn't dead and now he wants revenge against everyone else. So, he goes out looking for new victims to kill and ends up being chased across town by the police	Really, I can't believe that this movie was ever made. It's a very bad film with some of the worst acting and directing you've seen in years.<br /><br />The only reason I gave it 1 out of 5 is because there are a few good moments but otherwise...<br /><br />I'm not sure if they were trying to make an action flick or just wanted to show off their new camera equipment (which looks pretty lame). The whole thing seems like it could have been done much better than this one.<br /><br />(Note: This review may contain spoilers) <br /><br />First off, let me say what I love about this movie. There's nothing worse than watching someone get shot by a car while driving at high speed! But unfortunately for them, they're killed before getting into a car accident. That makes up for all the other crap in here!<br /><br />Anyway, now onto the plot. They start off as a bunch of guys who go on a road trip from California to Mexico. Along the way, they encounter various problems such as a guy going insane after he gets hit by a car; a girl who has a crush on another guy; and even a guy who wants to kill himself.<br /><br />Now, don't get me wrong, these characters aren't exactly likable. In fact, many times during the movie, we see people die without any explanation whatsoever. And when things do happen, most of them turn out to be random events rather than something really important. You know how sometimes movies end abruptly? Well, this time around, everything happens so fast that no real suspenseful buildup takes place until near the end.<br /><br />So, yeah, the story isn't great. However, there's still plenty of fun stuff happening throughout the entire movie. For example, there's a scene where a man drives his truck over a bridge and crashes through a wall. Then, later, he jumps back down again and proceeds to drive away from the crash site. He then goes on a long ride across the country. At one point, he stops somewhere and starts eating grass. Later, he rides off in a van filled with animals. When he finally reaches Mexico City, however, he finds himself trapped inside a giant tree stump. Fortunately, he manages to escape using rope and eventually escapes from the city itself.<br /><br />There's also a lot of nudity which doesn't help matters either since the actors seem to think that having sex will automatically lead to violence.	Really, I can't believe that this movie was ever made. It's so bad it is almost funny! The acting is awful and the story has no point whatsoever.<br /><br />I'm sorry to say but I have seen worse movies in my time at a video store...<br /><br />The only reason why I gave this film 1/5 out of 10 is because if you are looking for some cheap laughs then watch this one. Otherwise don't waste your money on this piece of crap.<br /><br />If anyone wants me to give them any points for being an idiot then please let me know how many times they should see this movie before they go to bed?

I rented this movie about 3 years ago, and it still stands out in my mind as the worst movie ever made. I don't think I ever finished it. It is worse than a home video made by a high school student. I remember them doing a flashback to 1970 something and in the flashback there was a man with a polo shirt, oakley sunglasses and a newer SUV, like a Toyota Rav-4 or something (I don't remember). I don't understand how they could have possibly said that to be in the 70s. He might have had a cell phone too, I cant remember, It was just horrible. I returned it to the video store and asked them why they even carry the movie and if I could get the hour of my life back. To this day it is the worst movie I have ever seen, and I have seen some pretty bad ones.	0neg	I rented this movie about	I rented this movie about 20 years ago and it was a very good film. I remember the story of an old man who is trying to make ends meet by selling his house, but he can't find anyone willing to buy because they don't know that there are no houses for sale at all in town.<br /><br />So he decides to sell some land which has been part of his family's property since before time when his father bought it from someone else (the original owner) over 150 years earlier. He then goes on a hunting trip with his son-in-law and daughter-in law where he meets up with one of the people he sold the land too and they decide to go ahead and purchase the land himself so that he will be able to live off of it as well as their other children living nearby.<br /><br />The problem is that after getting married and having two kids, the wife decided she wanted to move back home and get out of the city life. She also didn't want her husband to have any more debt than what he already had. So she told him to take care of everything until she could afford to pay it off herself. The only thing left was the land.<br /><br />But now that he doesn't need money anymore, he wants to use the money to help his own family out financially instead of paying off his mortgage or whatever it may be. And he does just that! But not without first making sure that everyone involved knows how much money he took out of the bank to do it!<br /><br />This made me laugh my ass off every single time I saw this movie again. It really did give me chills. This movie should definitely be added to your collection if you like movies about real-life events rather than fictional ones. If you haven't seen it yet, rent it today! You'll love it! <br /><br />PS: I'm actually surprised that the movie wasn't nominated for an Oscar award last year...it deserved it!!<br /><br />(BTW - I've never heard of this guy before either.)<br /><br />Thanks for reading! =D<br /><br />-Seth	I rented this movie about 3 months ago and I'm so glad that I did. It's a great film, it has some of the best acting in recent history (especially from Meryl Streep), and is very entertaining.<br /><br />The story revolves around two women who are both widowed but live separate lives: one with an abusive husband, the other living happily married to her husband. They meet on a train when they're travelling through Europe together; she tells him how much she misses her daughter and how happy she was when he left for work. He asks if she'd like to go out for dinner tonight, which leads them into trouble as their husbands find out what happened between them. The final scene takes place at a party where everyone is having fun until someone starts to shout "Merry Christmas" and everyone turns around to see a man dressed up as Santa Claus walking towards them. Everyone looks surprised and then smiles while laughing hysterically! This really makes you laugh!<br /><br />This is definitely worth watching because there aren't many movies these days that have such good performances by actors and actresses.

You won't be disappointed! <br /><br />(Note: My review may contain spoilers) <br /><br />'s not rated yet, but I think it should be since it contains nudity and language.

One brother dies on his way into heaven but the other survives. He becomes a priest who travels around preaching salvation messages to people he meets along the way. Along the way, he has encounters with various characters including a woman named Anna who works as a waitress at a diner where he frequents. She falls for him and they begin dating. However, she soon finds out what he really wants her to do when he tells her that he needs money so that he can buy himself some clothes before going back to jail. So, after a few more adventures together, he decides to leave town and return home because he doesn't want anyone else knowing how much he loves her. But then, he starts getting worried about something.<br /><br />He begins seeing strange things happening around him such as visions of angels flying over him or apparitions of women walking through the streets. And eventually, he discovers that there is someone behind everything he sees. Someone who looks just like his dead friend. Who? Why? Where did he come from? What does he know?<br /><br />What happens next is quite disturbing and scary. There is also a twist ending that leaves you wondering if it could have been any different. Overall, this is a truly amazing horror flick that deserves every bit of your attention. Highly recommended. (4/5 stars)<br /><	0.499985	0.500015	0.500009	0.499991
:Spoilers:<br /><br />I was very disappointed in Love's Abiding Joy. I had been waiting a really long time to see it and I finally got the chance when it re-aired Thursday night on Hallmark. I love the first three "Love" movies but this one was nothing like I thought it was going to be. The whole movie was sad and depressing, there were way to many goofs, and the editing was very poor - to many scenes out of context. I also think the death of baby Kathy happened way to soon and Clarks appearance in the movie just didn't seem to fit. It seemed like none of the actors really wanted to be there - they were all lacking emotion. There seemed to be no interaction between Missie and Willie at all.<br /><br />I think the script writers should have went more by the book. It seems like every movie that's been made so far just slips further and further away from Janette Oke's writings. I mean in the movie they never mentioned a thing about the mine and the two boys or Clark getting hurt because of it. And I think Missie and Willies reactions to Kathy's death could have been shown and heard rather than just heard.<br /><br />Out of the four movies that have been made so far I'd have to say that Love's Abiding Joy is my least favorite. I hope with the next four movies that more of the book is followed and if Clarks character is in them I hope he's got a bigger part and I hope his part isn't so bland. I also hope there is more of Scottie and Cookie and maybe even Marty but who knows what the script writers will have in store next.	0neg	:Spoilers:<br /><br />I was very	:Spoilers:<br /><br />I was very disappointed with this movie. I thought it would be a good idea to watch the first two movies and see if they were any better than these 3, but nope! The story is so bad that you can't even tell what's happening in between scenes.<br /><br />The acting isn't too bad for an action flick like this one (except maybe for the main character). But the plot just doesn't make sense at all. It seems almost impossible to follow along because of how confusing everything else is. And then there are the characters...<br /><br />It starts off as being a bunch of guys who are trying to save a girl from some guy named "the killer". Then we find out he's actually a super villain with his own army of cyborgs called the "Zombies" which kill people whenever they get close enough to them. They also have a robot thingy called the "Robot Army", which has guns on top of its head. This whole thing goes downhill after that point.<br /><br />There wasn't much gore or violence either, except when the zombies attack someone. There aren't many explosions either, only when something explodes. You know, stuff that happens during fights? <br /><br />This movie made me feel sorry for those actors involved. If you want to see some bad action movies, rent "Cannibal Holocaust II". That had more fun. Or check out the other Zombie movies. Those ones got better. <br /><br />(And yes, I did read the book.)<br /><br />4/10<br /><br />PS - I'm not sure why the rating went up to 5 stars.

I thought it would be a good idea to make a sequel, but the film left me wanting more than anything else.<br /><br />The story is not that great and there are some really bad acting performances by all of the actors involved in the project. The plot revolves around a young woman who has been kidnapped from her home by an evil man (played by John Cusack) after she had raped him for money. She goes on the run until she meets up with a group of people who help her escape once again. This time they take her back to their house where they will protect her while she tries to find out why she was taken away. <br /><br />This movie leaves you wondering what happened to the original story because everything seems so rushed and unbelievable. It's almost as if the producers didn't want anyone to think about how horrible the first one was or even wonder whether there could have been another one. There were many scenes which just seemed like they should've been cut off at the beginning or end of the movie. For example, when the women get into bed with the men in the room next door, we see them standing outside the bedroom window talking to each other over the phone. They never leave the room! And then later on, when the girls go to visit their father, he tells his daughter "you're going to die".<br /><br />There wasn't much action either. We only got two fights between the main characters and those were pretty tame compared to the violence used in the original movie. Also, the ending made no sense whatsoever. Why did the kidnappers do what they did? What was wrong with the girl? Did she actually rape the guy? If so, why couldn't she say that?<br /><br />All in all, this isn't worth watching unless you love cheesy movies like this. But don't expect too much from it. You'll probably hate it anyway. 3/10<br /><br />Rating: D+<br /><br />*SPOILER ALERT<br /><br />In the last scene before the credits roll, we hear the voice-over saying "You know something?" Then suddenly, the lights come on and the camera pans down to show us a few shots of the city streets. Soon enough, we can see the police cars coming towards us...and soon afterwards, the killer runs through the crowd hitting several policemen dead on the spot. The final shot shows our hero running across the street screaming "	:Spoilers:<br /><br />I was very excited when I heard about this movie. The trailer looked really cool and the cast had a lot of potential, but it wasn't until I saw the actual film that I realized how bad it is.<br /><br />The story line has no point at all. There are some good moments in the film such as when the main character gets his girlfriend pregnant by her ex-boyfriend. But there's nothing else to say or do here other than "Oh my god! This is so terrible!"<br /><br />It also seems like they tried too hard to make a horror flick out of this one. It looks like they were trying to get away from the fact that this isn't scary enough for most people (especially women). They try to be creepy with their makeup effects and costumes, but you can tell they're just using them because they want to look weird.<br /><br />This movie should have been called "No Good Day" instead of "Horror". If you've seen any of these movies before then you'll know what I'm talking about...but if not, don't waste your time watching this crapfest. You won't regret it though. <br /><br />If you haven't already read the book on which this movie is based, watch it first. That way you will understand why this movie sucks so much more easily. Then go rent the book again and see where the plot goes. And finally, don't even bother reading the synopsis of this movie since it doesn't help anything anyway. Just skip past it and move onto something else. In short, avoid this awful piece of trash at all costs!<br /><br />(spoiler) <br /><br />1/2 stars out of 4<br /><br />A few things I liked:<br /><br />-The acting was pretty decent overall, although some scenes seemed forced and unnatural. Some actors did well, others didn't. Overall, however, the performances weren't great either.<br /><br />-There was some nudity throughout the entire film, including an orgy scene between two girls who both got naked during the climax. While I think it would be funnier without the nudity, it still adds to the sexiness of the film.<br /><br />-Some of the characters were interesting, especially the lead girl. She made me care about her and wanted to protect her from the evil guy she loved. Her death was sad, but I guess that makes up for everything else.<br /><br />-The music was	:Spoilers:<br /><br />I was very impressed with this movie. I have seen many horror movies and most of them are boring, but this one is not.<br /><br />The story line in the movie is good enough to keep you interested even if it's a little bit slow at times. The acting is also great. There aren't too many actors that can act well without being overdone or annoying. <br /><br />This movie has some really cool effects as well. It looks like something out of a sci-fi flick. This makes me wonder what they were thinking when they made this movie...<br /><br />Overall, this movie is worth watching for its own sake. If you're looking for an action packed horror film, then look elsewhere. Otherwise, give it a chance. You won't be disappointed! 8/10<br /><br />PS: My rating may vary depending on how much gore there is in this movie. But I'm sure that would make up for any lack of blood in this movie. <br /><br />(spoiler) :D)<br /><br />~jasonf456~ (B&W) ~JASONF456~ (B&W)	0.499999	0.500001	0.269246	0.730754
I've seen all four of the movies in this series. Each one strays further and further from the books. This is the worst one yet. My problem is that it does not follow the book it is titled after in any way! The directors and producers should have named it any thing other than "Love's Abiding Joy." The only thing about this movie that remotely resembles the book are the names of some of the characters (Willie, Missie, Henry, Clark, Scottie and Cookie). The names/ages/genders of the children are wrong. The entire story line is no where in the book.<br /><br />I find it a great disservice to Janette Oke, her books and her fans to produce a movie under her title that is not correct in any way. The music is too loud. The actors are not convincing - they lack emotions.<br /><br />If you want a good family movie, this might do. It is clean. Don't watch it, though, if you are hoping for a condensed version of the book. I hope that this will be the last movie from this series, but I doubt it. If there are more movies made, I wish Michael Landon, Jr and others would stick closer to the original plot and story lines. The books are excellent and, if closely followed, would make excellent movies!	0neg	I've seen all four of	I've seen all four of the "The Twilight Zone" movies, and I must say that this is one of my favorites. It's a great movie for kids because it shows how people can change their lives by making choices.<br /><br />This movie has some really good acting in it as well. The only problem with it is that there are too many scenes where you don't know what happened to any of them (or why they were done).<br /><br />But overall, I think this is an excellent film. If your child loves the show or wants to see more of it, watch this! A 10/10!<br /><br />(spoilers) <br /><br />In the beginning, we meet Dr. Edward Redding who works at a hospital. He meets his wife, Kate, and her sister, Mary, while on leave from work. They have just gotten married when he discovers that she is pregnant. She tells him about her pregnancy, but then dies shortly after giving birth. This causes him to become obsessed with finding out whether or not she was actually killed during labor. As he investigates further, he finds himself drawn into a web of lies and deceit surrounding the death of Mary.<br /><br />Then, things get even worse when he runs across another woman named Elizabeth, who also died before being born. After discovering that she had been murdered, he decides to investigate her case and try to find out if anyone else might be involved. But soon enough, he realizes that everyone seems to be trying to cover up something very important...and maybe even kill themselves along the way.<br /><br />There are so many twists and turns in this movie that make it hard to tell exactly what happens next. Some parts may seem confusing, especially since most of the characters never speak again until the end credits roll. However, once you're through watching it, you'll understand everything much better than you did when first seeing it.<br /><br />Overall, this is a wonderful little sci-fi/horror flick that will keep your children entertained throughout its running time. And if you like the show, you should definitely check it out! You won't regret it! :) 8/10<br /><br />4 comments: Wow, this looks like such a cool movie!! I love horror films, and this sounds pretty interesting. I'm going to have to rent it sometime now. Thanks for sharing with us, and thanks for stopping by my blog today. I hope you enjoy reading my posts here! :-	I've seen all four of these movies and I must say that this is the worst. The acting, dialogue, plot line, everything was so bad it made me want to vomit.<br /><br />The first one had a great story but then they just went downhill from there. It's like watching someone try to make a movie with two hours worth of footage on a roll of film. They tried too hard at times. And when you're trying to create suspense in a horror flick, you need some scares! <br /><br />It has no real atmosphere or creepiness whatsoever. There are no twists, surprises, etc. Just plain old boring stuff. Not even scary enough for my taste. This is not the best of the series and if you have nothing better to do than watch this garbage, go ahead...but don't waste your time. You'll be disappointed. 1/10<br /><br />If you can find this DVD, please give it away because I'm sure people would love it! :) 4 outta 5 stars (which means "outstanding") = 3.8762986629862985 out of 5 stars. Rating: 1/10<br /><br />-SPOILER ALERT -<br /><br />(Spoiler Alert) If you haven't already read the book by the same name, skip right over this review as soon as possible. The only reason why I gave this movie such low marks is because it wasn't exactly terrible. But after seeing how awful this movie really is, I think I might recommend skipping past it altogether instead of wasting my money.<br /><br />This movie starts off pretty good. We get a glimpse into the lives of the main characters before we see them killed. Then things start going down hill fast. The ending is truly shocking considering what happened earlier in the movie. In fact, the entire movie ends up being an extremely predictable mess. Even though I didn't expect much based on the cover, I still thought that maybe something interesting could happen here. However, the whole thing turns out to be a complete joke. Now, let me explain. First of all, none of the actors were particularly convincing. Most of them seemed completely unconvincing. Some of their lines weren't even funny. For instance, the guy who played the police officer was so annoying he actually annoyed me more than anything else about this movie. He kept talking through his mouth without any effort whatsoever. His accent sounded like	I've seen all four of these movies (and I'm a big fan), and this is the best. The acting, especially from the main cast members, are superb. The story is original, well written, and has an interesting twist at the end that makes you think about what's going on.<br /><br />The movie isn't perfect though: there were some scenes where it seemed like they could have done better with editing or pacing; but overall, this is one of my favorite films! 10/10!!! <br /><br />(Also, if you're looking for a good romantic comedy, check out "Soul Survivors" - also directed by John Hughes!)<br /><br />-Morgan - 9/10<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~	I've seen all four of the episodes and I'm still not sure why this show is so popular. The story lines are weak, the characters aren't very likable (especially the main character), and there's no chemistry between any two of them.<br /><br />The only reason to watch it was because my friend wanted me to see a movie with her that night...and she got what she paid for! <br /><br />It has been 2 years since I saw the first episode but I remember thinking how bad it would be when I watched it again last week. It just doesn't work as well now than it did then. And if you're like me and want something different from your typical sitcom or drama series, don't bother watching this one. You'll get bored pretty quickly. But if you enjoy these types of shows, go ahead and give it a try. If you find yourself getting annoyed by some of the plot twists in the later seasons, maybe check out another show on TV that features similar plots. This one isn't even worth checking out unless you have nothing better to do at home.<br /><br />If you enjoyed this show, please let us know where you found it!<br /><br />(And yes, I am aware that other people might actually LIKE this show.)<br /><br />1/5 stars = 4/5 stars = 0/5 stars = -1/5 stars = 3/5 stars = 6/5 stars = 7/5 stars = 8/5 stars = 9/5 stars = 10/5 stars = 11/5 stars = 12/5 stars = 13/5 stars = 14/5 stars = 15/5 stars = 16/5 stars = 17/5 stars = 18/5 stars = 19/5 stars = 20/5 stars = 21/5 stars = 22/5 stars = 23/5 stars = 24/5 stars = 25/5 stars = 26/5 stars = 27/5 stars = 28/5 stars = 29/5 stars = 30/5 stars = 31/5 stars = 32/5 stars = 33/5 stars = 34/5 stars = 35/5 stars = 36/5 stars = 37/5	0.730754	0.269246	0.730706	0.269294
I very much looked forward to this movie. Its a good family movie; however, if Michael Landon Jr.'s editing team did a better job of editing, the movie would be much better. Too many scenes out of context. I do hope there is another movie from the series, they're all very good. But, if another one is made, I beg them to take better care at editing. This story was all over the place and didn't seem to have a center. Which is unfortunate because the other movies of the series were great. I enjoy the story of Willie and Missy; they're both great role models. Plus, the romantic side of the viewers always enjoy a good love story.	0neg	I very much looked forward	I very much looked forward to this film, but was disappointed. The plot is not that interesting and the acting is poor.<br /><br />The story concerns a group of people who are trying to escape from an evil cult in which they have been brainwashed for 10 years by their leader (played by Richard Chamberlain).<br /><br />There's some good stuff about the cult itself - it has its own religion and rituals, and even though it appears to be run by a maniacal madman with no regard whatsoever for human life or morality, there are also good parts too: one character goes on a rampage after being beaten up by his fellow members; another member tells him he will die if he doesn't kill someone else within the next hour... But overall I found the whole thing boring and uninteresting.<br /><br />In fact, I don't think anyone really cared what happened to any of these characters at all! It just seemed like a bunch of people were doing something stupid because they had nothing better to do!<br /><br />My only real gripe with the film was the acting. There wasn't enough dialogue between the actors, so you couldn't tell them apart as individuals. And when they did speak, they sounded more like children than adults. <br /><br />Overall, I'd give this movie a four out of ten. If you're looking for a decent horror flick then go ahead and rent this, otherwise avoid it completely. However, if you want to see a truly awful piece of crap, watch "Cult" again. That would probably get your rating higher. ;)	I very much looked forward to this movie. I had heard that it was a great film and thought it would be good, but when I saw the trailer for it on TV (which is what most people do) I immediately felt like giving up.<br /><br />The plot of the movie has been done many times before in other films. It's not really original or interesting enough to make me want to see it again. The acting isn't bad either; some actors are just better than others at doing their roles. But there were no surprises about who did which part so you can expect predictable things from them all along.<br /><br />Overall, if you're looking for something new then don't bother with this one. If you have seen more recent movies by the same director then maybe give it another chance...but even then I'd say watch something else first! 3/10<br /><br />PS: My wife said she liked this movie too - must've missed out on watching it :) <br /><br />(spoilers ahead!)<br /><br />When the lead character gets into trouble he tries to escape using his "special" knife. He finds himself surrounded by thugs and they start chasing him around town until finally someone stops them. They take him back home where he tells them how he got away. Then they kill him off!<br /><br />This scene makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Why? Because we know nothing about these guys except that they killed him. So why does he tell us? And WHY DO WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEM AT ALL??? This is an obvious attempt to get viewers interested because it doesn't explain anything. We already knew everything about them beforehand anyway so why waste time explaining it?<br /><br />Another thing I didn't understand was why the guy who kills the girl after her father dies also kills the woman who takes care of her son. She seems pretty innocent here compared to the rest of the characters in the movie. Maybe it's just my brain being dumb, but I couldn't figure out why anyone would choose to harm those two girls instead of any of the other people involved in the story. There wasn't even any reason given as to why they chose to kill each other. Was it supposed to be a sadistic revenge type ending? Or was it just a coincidence? Either way, I think it should have made more sense to have explained it further rather than throwing it straight onto screen without explanation.<br /><br />As far as the action scenes go, well they weren't particularly exciting	I very much looked forward to this movie. I was disappointed by it.<br /><br />The story is about a young man who has lost his wife and son in an accident, but he still wants to live life as normal people do...and so does the doctor (played by Richard Dreyfuss).<br /><br />However, the film takes on too many clichés that are not original or interesting at all. The plot is predictable from start to finish; the characters don't really develop enough for me to care about them; there's no chemistry between any of the actors - they just seem bored with each other; the acting isn't good either.<br /><br />Overall, I found myself wishing that this had been made 10 years earlier when I first saw it. It would have saved me some time! <br /><br />If you're looking for something different than most movies these days then go ahead and rent "A Time To Kill" instead. If you like your films boring and predictable then avoid this one completely. Otherwise, watch it if only because it looks great. ;-) <br /><br />3/5 stars out of 4 (out of five stars) - sorry for wasting everyone else's time! :-) <br /><br />PS: A few comments were posted after my review saying that the ending was rather 'boring'. Well, I agree with those two guys. But what bothered me more was how the director didn't even bother to make sure that the audience understood why things happened before we got to see the end. That part could've been done better!<br /><br />(BTW, I'm also a fan of Richard Dreyfus.)<br /><br />Thanks again for reading! :-)<br /><br />-Lorenzo	I very much looked forward to this movie. I was pleasantly surprised by it.<br /><br />The story is about a young man who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and his wife decides that he should be given the chance to live out as long as possible before dying. The doctor tells him how long they can expect to have each other, but also gives them only one day left together in their lives. They decide to take advantage of every minute that they are able to spend together. This film shows what a wonderful family life these two people had when they were alive. It's sad that they lost so soon after such an amazing relationship like this. <br /><br />It made me think about my own situation and whether or not we ever get another opportunity to do something special for someone else. If you're reading this, please don't let your loved ones down! You never know what might happen next...<br /><br />Thank you for watching this film!<br /><br />(This review may contain spoilers)	0.499999	0.500001	0.269252	0.730748
I have read all of the Love Come Softly books. Knowing full well that movies can not use all aspects of the book,but generally they at least have the main point of the book. I was highly disappointed in this movie. The only thing that they have in this movie that is in the book is that Missy's father comes to visit,(although in the book both parents come). That is all. The story line was so twisted and far fetch and yes, sad, from the book, that I just couldn't enjoy it. Even if I didn't read the book it was too sad. I do know that Pioneer life was rough,but the whole movie was a downer. The rating is for having the same family orientation of the film that makes them great.	0neg	I have read all of	I have read all of the other reviews and I can see why some people don't like this movie. It is a very good film, but it's not for everyone.<br /><br />The plot has been done many times before in movies such as "Fight Club", "Scream 2" or even "American Psycho". The only thing that makes this one different from those films is the fact that you are given more than just an ordinary story to follow. You get to discover characters who will change your life forever.<br /><br />This film was made by two friends (Dylan McDermott & Matt Bomer) after they had watched their friend die during a car accident. They were inspired by the death of Dylan's best friend and decided to make a documentary about his life and how he died. This resulted in a short film which became a hit on YouTube with over 10 million views within days.<br /><br />It doesn't take much imagination to figure out what happens next. There isn't really any explanation at all regarding where these characters end up so there is no real sense of closure. However, if you want to find out more about the events surrounding Dylan's death then watch this film! <br /><br />Overall, this is a great film worth watching once. If you're looking for something unique and interesting to watch then give this one a try. Otherwise, skip past it and go look for another movie instead. :)<br /><br />(PS: My rating is based off my own personal opinion.)<br /><br />Rating: */* (out of *****)	I have read all of the reviews and I think this movie is a complete waste of time. It's not even worth watching for the actors, who are very good in their roles but they don't do much with it.<br /><br />The plot was so lame that you would be more interested if there were no story to follow. The acting wasn't bad either (the only one really annoying) but then again I'm not used to seeing such poor performances from people at my age or higher.<br /><br />It just didn't make sense; the characters seemed like they had never met before and nothing happened between them until the end. And what about the ending? Why did they kill him off?<br /><br />This film has been on Netflix forever now and I can see why some people love it - it's got great music and pretty girls! But I'd rather watch an episode of "Friends" than sit through another 90 minutes of this rubbish!<br /><br />(And yes, I know it's called "Lucky Luke", which means lucky Luke, but the title doesn't seem to fit here.)<br /><br />If you're looking for something entertaining, go ahead...but avoid this one. You'll regret it when you get home and realize how stupid everything else on TV was back then. <br /><br />4/10<br /><br />'saw' this movie tonight while waiting for the next episode of 'Friends'. This movie sucked. If you want to view an interesting movie without having to pay $7.50 per episode, try 'Dumb and Dumber', 'Ghostbusters', 'Scream', etc., because these movies aren't as boring as this crap. Don't bother with this movie unless your wife thinks you should watch a comedy every night. Oh yeah, and don't expect any songs after the credits roll.<br /><br />3 out of 10 stars. Not recommended. Avoid at all costs. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!! <br /><br />2/10 stars. Too bad. There was a lot going for this movie: beautiful scenery, cool locations, nice soundtrack, funny script, and a few decent cast members. Unfortunately, none of those things worked together well enough to keep me entertained throughout the entire thing. At times, it felt like someone tried too hard to make up for the fact that the main character couldn't act. He looked like he could've done better playing a homeless guy instead of being stuck in a wheelchair	I have read all of the reviews and I can't believe that this movie is still being released. It's a complete waste of time, money & effort.<br /><br />The acting was terrible - especially from the lead actress who had no chemistry with anyone in the film at any point during her performance. The script seemed to be written by someone who has not seen the original novel or even one word about it! <br /><br />There were so many holes in the plot that you could almost see them coming before they occurred. For example: why would a man (the main character) go into a bar after drinking? Why did he take his girlfriend out on their first date when she didn't want him? And what happened to the two other girls?<br /><br />Why does the guy keep asking for directions while driving around town? What do those people think are funny things to say if they're going through traffic?!<br /><br />And finally, how come there wasn't an explanation as to why the girl got shot? Wasn't that obvious already? There should've been some kind of spoiler warning just to make sure viewers don't get confused!<br /><br />(Note: This review may contain spoilers.)<br /><br />If you like bad movies then watch this one. If you love your wife...don't bother watching this one. If you enjoy seeing actors act badly...watch another one. Don't waste your time on this one. You'll regret it later. 1/2 star rating because it's too bad that such a great story was ruined by poor writing and direction. 3 stars because I'm giving it more than half credit since the cast really pulled off the roles well. 0 stars because it's a total waste of time. 5 stars because it's worth renting but only if you know nothing else exists besides this movie. 4 stars because it's a decent movie but it doesn't deserve these low ratings. 6 stars because it's actually pretty good considering it's a remake. 7 stars because it's very entertaining and will entertain you until the end. 8 stars because it's definitely worth renting. 9 stars because it's probably my favorite movie ever. 10 stars because it deserves every bit of it's praise. 11 stars because it's absolutely perfect. 12 stars because it's simply amazing. 13 stars because it's a masterpiece. 14 stars because it's truly fantastic. 15 stars because it's the best	I have read all of the comments on this movie and I can't believe that it was released in 1987. It is a great film, but not for everyone.<br /><br />The story line is very simple: A young girl (Maggie Smith) meets an old man who has been living with her since she was five years old. The two become friends and they share their lives together until Maggie's father dies when he leaves to go to war. She returns home one day only to find that her mother has died leaving behind a large amount of money which seems to be hidden somewhere around her house. When she goes looking for it she finds out that there are many people wanting it back from her as well as some sort of treasure trove inside the house! <br /><br />This movie is so good because it shows how much love can mean to someone else. You see here we get to know these characters more than just what they do everyday at work or school. We really care about them and want to help them succeed no matter what happens. This is something you don't usually see in movies today where everything looks like a "no brainer" situation. In fact most movies nowadays seem to think that if your character doesn't die then its over!<br /><br />If you enjoy watching stories unfold slowly and carefully then this may be right up your alley. If however you're looking for action packed thrillers then look elsewhere. But if you're into films that show us how life works and how things change throughout our lifetime then this will definitely appeal to you. There were times during my viewing of this movie that I thought it would end before I had even finished half way through! And that's saying quite a bit considering that it lasted almost three hours!!<br /><br />There are also lots of funny moments in this movie such as when Maggie tries to steal a loaf of bread off a guy outside the bakery while his wife is cooking dinner. Or when Maggie gets stuck in traffic and ends up having to walk across the street to reach her car. These scenes make me laugh every time I watch it. Also there are plenty of twists and turns along the way making sure that nothing ever stays exactly the same place between each scene. So far this movie hasn't let me down yet!!! <br /><br />In conclusion I give this movie a 10/10. Its simply amazing how easy it is to fall in love with any character in this movie. Even though it isn't a true love story it still	0.730744	0.269256	0.269613	0.730387
As a Southern Baptist, it pains me that I must give a below average rating to an overtly Christian movie. There certainly aren't so many that I want to discourage film-makers from a genre that's woefully under-exploited. Still, I must honestly say that "Love's Abiding Joy" is a typically low budget, low key, self-consciously Christian film. The plot is predictable, the acting mediocre (I'm being kind), and the editing atrocious. As a TV movie it might have been slightly above average, but as a feature film it leaves much to be desired. Keep trying guys. You've got to have a movie about about real Christians inside you somewhere. Might I suggest you turn to G. K. Chesterton or C. S. Lewis for some inspiration?	0neg	As a Southern Baptist, it	As a Southern Baptist, it is my privilege to be able to say that this movie was the first time I ever saw an African-American man in a role like Robert Blake. It also made me realize how much of a difference there really are between black and white actors.<br /><br />The film starts with Robert Blake as a young boy who has been sent away from his home by his father because he's not doing well at school. He goes on to become a successful actor but still feels lost in life. When he comes across a woman named Mary (played by Angela Bassett) while searching for her son's grave, she invites him over to stay with her family. She tells him about her past and offers to help him find his missing son. They fall in love and begin living together until one day they discover that their son is dead. The rest of the story follows them through several years of grief before finally finding each other again after 20 years.<br /><br />I can't tell you enough what a great performance Robert Blake gives here. His character is so complex and nuanced that we never get bored watching him play the part. We feel sorry for him when things go wrong and root for him when he finds happiness. And we're rooting for him even though he doesn't deserve it! This is such a touching and moving movie that will leave you feeling deeply moved. If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you do!<br /><br />Angela Bassett plays Mary very convincingly and does a wonderful job portraying someone whose pain is real and intense. Her portrayal of a mother trying desperately to hold onto something that isn't hers is both heartbreaking and beautiful all at once.<br /><br />This is truly a must-see for anyone interested in acting or drama. It deserves every bit of praise it gets and should definitely win awards if given any chance. Highly recommended. <br /><br />(Note: I am NOT affiliated with the producers of this movie.)<br /><br />10/10<br /><br />P.S.: My sister gave me this DVD copy of "Ain't That Peculiar" just recently and said it would be good. Well, I'm glad she liked it too! I think everyone else might agree. :) Thanks, Mom! You rock! :D	As a Southern Baptist, it's hard to believe that this movie was made. This is the kind of film that would be banned in most churches today.<br /><br />I can't understand why anyone should watch this garbage. It's not even worth watching for its plot (which I'm sure you know).<br /><br />This movie has nothing at all to do with Jesus or Christianity. The only thing it has to say about Christ and his work are two lines: "Christ died on the cross so we could live" and "Jesus rose from the dead". That's pretty much what they're saying here. And if you want to see how Christians think, then just go back to your church and tell them that. You'll get more respect there than you will getting an A+ grade from me.<br /><br />And as far as the acting goes...well, let's face it--this isn't really a good movie because it doesn't have any actors! There were no real characters involved in this movie; instead, everyone seemed like some sort of random person who happened to stumble upon the set while filming one scene after another. <br /><br />There wasn't enough dialogue between the various people involved in making this movie either. In fact, the whole script felt completely disconnected from each other. No matter which character came up next, I couldn't figure out where he/she fit into the story.<br /><br />If you happen to catch this movie tonight, please don't bother to turn off the lights. Just sit through it anyway. If you find yourself wishing you'd never seen it, well, maybe you need counseling. But hey--it wouldn't hurt to ask God to help you make better choices when it comes time to choose whether or not to spend eternity in hell. He knows best!<br /><br />The only reason I gave this movie 1 star rather than 0 stars is because I did manage to sleep through half of it. Otherwise, I would give it a zero rating. Too bad. Because I had fun during the first hour of this crapfest. At least I got my money's worth. Oh well....<br /><br />(Note: I am NOT affiliated with the director of this movie.)<br /><br />2/5 Stars - SPOILER ALERT!!!<br /><br />* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *	As a Southern Baptist, it is my privilege to be able to say that I am not ashamed of being an American.

If you don't believe me then read about our nation's founding fathers who fought for freedom from British rule in 1765.<br /><br />The Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson when he was only 28 years old. It states "We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they have certain rights which among others include life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness." This statement holds true today as well. We live under a system where everyone has the same basic right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These rights were granted to us during the time of George Washington because we had been fighting against tyranny before him. When he died his son John took over the presidency and began to implement changes towards democracy. He made sure that no one could ever again take away any individual's freedoms without just cause or due process. In 1790, Congress passed the Bill of Rights, which includes several articles concerning personal liberties including but not limited to free speech, religion, property, etc.<br /><br />In 1793, President James Madison signed into law the first constitution of the Union with the words "This Constitution shall never be repudiated or repealed". While many people may think this means that slavery would now become illegal, there will always be some individuals who do not want their slaves back. Therefore, the bill did not go into effect until January 4th of 1794. Although the document does not mention it, most Americans still consider themselves part of the Confederacy after the Civil War ended on April 9, 1865. However, since this date, every state except Missouri became independent of the federal government. Since independence came at such a young age, many people felt left out of the fold. They believed that if they stayed loyal to the U.S., they might lose everything they held dear. After the war, those who remained loyal to the union decided to form the Confederate States of America (CSA).<br /><br />Although the declaration itself doesn't talk much about civil rights, the South saw them as something very important. Many Southerners wanted to see equality between races so that blacks wouldn't have to suffer like whites. One example of how the black community viewed equality was through the Underground Railroad.	As a Southern Baptist, it is my privilege to be able to say that I am not only proud of the work of this church but also very grateful for their support. The fact that they are still here and continue to serve our community in such an effective way speaks volumes about their commitment to Christ and His mission.<br /><br />I have known these men since 1986 when we were both students at Central High School (now Central Catholic). We had been friends ever since then and have remained close even though some time has passed between us. But as one would expect from those who know them well, there was much more than friendship that brought us together: love, loyalty, trust, respect, compassion and above all faithfulness. It's no wonder why so many people came back each year after graduation because of the quality of service provided by these two men. They truly made a difference in the lives of countless others through their ministry.<br /><br />The story goes like this: In 2003, while on vacation with his family in Florida, David died suddenly due to complications related to kidney disease. He left behind his wife, son and daughter; he was survived by three daughters-in-law and five grandchildren. At first, most of the congregation did not understand what happened or how things could go wrong for him if he didn't make it home safely. However, within days, everyone knew how important he was to the entire church and how deeply loved he was by every single person present. Many asked him "How can you do something like this?" And he simply replied, "It isn't easy." Then, just before Christmas Eve, David was found dead in his hotel room. Everyone was stunned - especially me! My heart went out to him and I prayed fervently for him until he woke up and told me everything that had occurred. As soon as he opened his eyes again, he said, "David!" I rushed over to his bedside and saw that he was gone. I cried and hugged him tightly and whispered, "God bless your soul" and promised God that I would never forget him. Afterward, I called the pastor and explained to him exactly what had happened and begged him to pray for me and keep me company during this difficult time. When I returned to the hospital, I gave him a hug and thanked him profusely for being there for me throughout this ordeal. Within minutes, he took off his shirt and wrapped me in his arms and kissed me passionately saying, "You're my girl".<br /><br	0.730753	0.269247	0.499706	0.500294
WARNING: This review contains SPOILERS. Do not read if you don't want some points revealed to you before you watch the film.<br /><br />With a cast like this, you wonder whether or not the actors and actresses knew exactly what they were getting into. Did they see the script and say, `Hey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind was such a hit that this one can't fail.' Unfortunately, it does. Did they even think to check on the director's credentials? I mean, would YOU do a movie with the director of a movie called `Satan's Cheerleaders?' Greydon Clark, who would later go on to direct the infamous `Final Justice,' made this. It makes you wonder how the people of Mystery Science Theater 3000 could hammer `Final Justice' and completely miss out on `The Return.'<br /><br />The film is set in a small town in New Mexico. A little boy and girl are in the street unsupervised one night when a powerful flashlight beam.er.a spaceship appears and hovers over them. In probably the worst special effect sequence of the film, the ship spews some kind of red ink on them. It looked like Clark had held a beaker of water in from of the camera lens and dipped his leaky pen in it, so right away you are treated with cheese. Anyhow, the ship leaves and the adults don't believe the children. Elsewhere, we see Vincent Schiavelli, whom I find to be a terrific actor (watch his scenes in `Ghost' for proof, as they are outstanding), who is playing a prospector, or as I called him, the Miner 1949er. He steps out of the cave he is in, and he and his dog are inked by the ship. Twenty-five years go by, and the girl has grown up to be Cybill Shepherd, who works with her father, Raymond Burr, in studying unusual weather phenomena. Or something like that. Shepherd spots some strange phenomena in satellite pictures over that little New Mexico town, and she travels there to research it. Once she gets there, the local ranchers harass her, and blame her for the recent slew of cattle mutilations that have been going on, and deputy Jan-Michael Vincent comes to her rescue. From this point on, the film really drags as the two quickly fall for each other, especially after Vincent wards off the locals and informs Shepherd that he was the little boy that saw the ship with her twenty-five years earlier. While this boring mess is happening, Vincent Schiavelli, with his killer dog at his side, is walking around killing the cattle and any people he runs into with an unusual item. You know those glowing plastic sticks stores sell for trick-or-treaters at Halloween, the kind that you shake to make them glow? Schiavelli uses what looks like one of those glow sticks to burn incisions in people. It's the second-worst effect in the movie. Every time Schiavelli is on screen with the glow stick, the scene's atmosphere suddenly turns dark, like the filmmakers thought the glow stick needed that enhancement. It ends up making the movie look even cheaper than it is.<br /><br />And what does all this lead up to? It's hard to tell when the final, confusing scene arrives. See, Burr and his team of scientists try to explain the satellite images that Shepherd found as some kind of `calling card,' but none of it makes sense. Why do Shepherd and Vincent age and Schiavelli does not? Schiavelli explains why he is killing cattle and people and why he wants Shepherd dead, but even that doesn't make much sense when you really think about it. I mean, why doesn't he kill Jan-Michael Vincent? After all, he had twenty-five years to do it. And the aliens won't need him if Shepherd is dead anyhow, so why try to kill her? Speaking of the aliens, it is never clear what they really wanted out of Shepherd and Vincent. What is their goal? Why do they wait so long to intervene? How could they be so sure Shepherd would come back? Not that the answer to any of these and other questions would have made `The Return' any more pleasant. You would still have bad lines, really bad acting, particularly by Shepherd, cheesy effects, and poor direction. Luckily, the stars escaped from this movie. Cybill Shepherd soon went on to star in `Moonlighting' with Bruce Willis. Jan-Michael Vincent went on to be featured in dozens of B-movies, often in over-the-top parts. Raymond Burr made a pile of Perry Mason television movies right up until his death. Vincent Schiavelli went on to be a great character actor in a huge number of films. Martin Landau, who played a kooky law enforcement officer, quickly made the terrific `Alone in the Dark' and the awful `The Being' before rolling into the films he has been famous for recently. You can bet none of these stars ever want their careers to return to `The Return.' Zantara's score: 2 out of 10.	0neg	WARNING: This review contains SPOILERS.	WARNING: This review contains SPOILERS. I will not give away the plot, but it is a very good one.<br /><br />This movie has been compared to "The Sixth Sense" and that's because of its similarity with the story line in the film. The only difference between these two movies are their endings which make this movie even better than the original. In fact, if you watch both films together, you'll find out what makes them different from each other.<br /><br />In the first part, we have an old man who lives alone in his house. One day he sees a woman walking by him on her way home, she looks like she might be pregnant so he goes over there and asks for directions. He finds out that she was raped years ago and now she wants to kill herself. She tells him about her past and how they were married before she left for work the night before. They had sex once at least 10 times during their marriage. When she came back home after work, she found out that her husband had gone off to fight in Iraq. So she decided to take revenge against him. She killed him when he returned home and then took all of her clothes and ran into the woods where she committed suicide. <br /><br />Now comes the second part. We see a young girl named Samantha (played by Jessica Simpson) who runs away from her abusive father. After being rescued by a couple of guys, she meets up with a guy called Ryan (played by Justin Timberlake). He helps her get some food and supplies while she hides in the bushes until someone notices her. Soon enough, people start coming looking for her and she ends up getting involved with a group of teenagers who want to destroy everything around them including her family. Her dad gets arrested and she decides to go ahead and leave town. However, things don't turn out as planned and she starts having nightmares about her dead mother. Eventually, she realizes that she needs help and she turns to her new friend Ryan for support. But soon enough, she begins seeing visions of her dead mom again and realizes that something terrible is going to happen anyway...<br /><br />I think that this movie is great! It has many twists and turns throughout the whole thing. If you're interested in watching a horror movie without gore or violence, check this out! You won't regret it! :) And remember, sometimes, life isn't always easy!! ;) Enjoy! :D<br /><br />PS - Just wanted to say that this movie reminds me of another classic horror	WARNING: This review contains SPOILERS. If you have not seen the movie, do yourself a favor and skip this one.<br /><br />The first time I saw "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" in 1984 it was on TV as part of an early evening special called "Dragon's Den". It had been released at that point by Hong Kong studio Longman Pictures but never made its way to American theaters until recently when Warner Bros. bought out the rights for $30 million (about $250,000 today).<br /><br />I remember being excited about seeing this film because I'd heard so much about it from friends who were avid fans of the book. When I finally got around to watching it I found myself disappointed with what little there actually is to recommend here. The plot itself is pretty simple--a young Chinese girl named Chen Liang (Chen Shao) goes into hiding after her father is killed during World War II. She ends up working for a wealthy Japanese family who are looking for some sort of heir to their fortune...and she falls under their spell! <br /><br />One thing that struck me immediately upon viewing the film was how similar the story seemed to be to many other movies I've seen over my lifetime. In fact, it seems like every recent blockbuster has something in common with CTHHD. Some examples include "Titanic", "Fight Club", "Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope", "Jurassic Park", "Men in Black", "Independence Day", "Saving Private Ryan", "Gladiator", "Lord Of The Rings", "Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone", "Interstellar", "The Matrix", "Ghostbusters", "A Beautiful Mind", "Pulp Fiction", "The Godfather Part III", "The Sixth Sense", "Inception", "The Usual Suspects", "Citizen Kane", "Schindler's List", "Brazil", "The Dark Knight Trilogy", "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Silence of the Lambs", "The Departed", "Raging Bull", "The Ring", "Memento", "The Terminator", "The Grudge", "The Exorcist", "The Sentinel", "The Night Listener", "Manos: The Hands of Fate", "The Big Chill", "The Last Samurai", "The Patriot", "The Pianist", "City Hall", "The Wedding Party", "The Good Earth", "Lion King", "The Princess Bride", "F	WARNING: This review contains SPOILERS. I have seen this movie several times and it is very entertaining, but the ending was not what I expected.<br /><br />The plot of "A Christmas Story" is a simple one; two brothers (Greg and Danny) go to visit their uncle in Florida for the holidays. The story takes place during the holiday season with Greg's family getting together at his grandparents' house where they gather around the fireplace watching Santa Claus come down from Heaven. After that there are some other scenes which take place on the road as well as inside the car after he gets home. There are also a few funny moments such as when Danny asks Santa if he can get a toy horse or something like that because he wants to be an actor someday. But the real highlight comes at the end when Santa gives them all gifts including a new sled and a boat. It's just too cute! <br /><br />This film has been compared by many people to "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence", however, I think that both films were made before 1983 so maybe they should try to compare things more accurately than that. Both movies had great performances by the actors who played the roles of the characters and although "Santa Clause" wasn't exactly perfect, it still managed to make me laugh out loud throughout most of its length. On the whole though, "A Christmas Story" is definitely worth seeing once and will leave you smiling for days afterwards. If you're looking for a good Christmas comedy then check out this one out. Otherwise, give it a miss and enjoy your own holiday without having to see anything else. :)<br /><br />(By the way, my wife said she liked it better than "Miracle Man")<br /><br />Rating: /5 stars<br /><br />/5 stars<br /><br />*/5 stars<br /><br />/5 stars<br /><br />*/5 stars<br /><br />*/5 stars<br /><br />****/5 stars<br /><br />***/5 stars<br /><br />**/5 stars<br /><br />*****/5 stars<br /><br />************/5 stars<br /><br />********************/5 stars<br /><br />************************/5 stars<br /><br />****************/5 stars<br /><br />****************************/5 stars<br /><br />************************************/5 stars<br /><br />********************************************/5 stars<br /><br />****************************************************/5 stars<br /><br />************************************************************/5 stars<br /><br />******************************************************************************/5 stars	WARNING: This review contains SPOILERS. If you haven't seen this movie, or are planning to see it later on in your life (like me), I urge you not to read any further.<br /><br />I watched the first 20 minutes of "The Matrix" with my wife and daughter, who were both very excited about seeing a film that was so different from anything else they had ever seen before. We sat through all of it without one complaint, but after we left the theater, our daughters said something like, "If only you'd told us what was going to happen." It wasn't until just now when I looked at them again that I realized how much we laughed during the entire thing! The plot is simple enough; an evil corporation has created a virtual reality world called Neo's World where people live their lives as if they're living in real time. They have been able to do this for years by using technology which allows them to send messages between each other via holograms. However, there is a problem - no matter how many times someone sends a message, he can never get back to his own timeline because every second passes forever...<br /><br />We've all heard stories of people being trapped inside a virtual world for hours upon hours while trying desperately to escape, yet nothing seems to work out. In fact, some characters even seem to be trapped within themselves, unable to leave their place. But then, suddenly, everything changes!<br /><br />What happens next? How does the viewer know? Well, once you start watching, you'll find yourself wondering those questions too. And don't worry; there will also be plenty of action along the way, including some pretty cool special effects. As far as story goes, it doesn't really make sense either. There isn't a whole lot happening here except for a few quick flashbacks throughout the movie. Also, it takes quite awhile for things to actually come together properly, making it hard to follow exactly what's going on. Even though the ending is rather satisfying, it still leaves room for more depth than most movies would allow. So yes, watch this movie and ask yourself some important questions such as, "How did it end?" and "Why didn't anyone notice the problems earlier?" <br /><br />This movie may contain graphic violence, sexual content, nudity, profanity, and mild drug use. Please view this movie under adult supervision unless otherwise indicated. Rated R for language, strong sexuality, and brief drug-related scenes. *SPOILER* I saw this movie	0.730715	0.269285	0.500341	0.499659
As a kid I did think the weapon the murderer wielded was cool, however I was a kid and so I was a bit dumb. Even as a dumb kid though the movies plot was stupid and a bit boring when the killer was not using his light knife to kill people. What amazes me is that the movie has a really solid cast in it. What script did they read when agreeing to be in this movie as it is most assuredly boring and only a means to show off a light saber on a very small scale. The plot at times is incomprehensible and the end is totally chaotic. The whole film seems to rotate around aliens and the one weapon. The plot has two kids and some dude having an alien encounter, flash years later and there seems to be a return as it were in the mix. Dead animals and such to be explored and for some reason the one dude gets the weapon of the aliens and proceeds to use it to go on a very light killing spree. Seriously, you just have to wonder why this movie was made, if you are going to have a killer have some good death scenes, if you are going to have alien encounters show more than a weird light vortex thing, and if you are going to have light sabers then call yourself star wars.	0neg	As a kid I did	As a kid I did not like the movie but as an adult, it is one of my favorite movies. The story was good and there were some great moments in this film.<br /><br />The acting was very good by all involved. It's hard to find actors who can act with such passion and conviction as these two men do here. They are both excellent.<br /><br />I would recommend this film for anyone interested in watching something that will make you think about life more deeply than most people ever have before or after seeing it. This is definitely worth your time! 10/10<br /><br />If you haven't seen this movie yet...you must see it now!<br /><br />(This review may contain spoilers) <br /><br />Thanks for reading! -Sara ([email protected])<br /><br />PS: If you want to know how I got into writing reviews on IMDb...it took me years of trying to get published through various websites. But eventually I found out that if you write a few good reviews then they'll publish you. So don't be afraid to give me positive comments because I'm just happy when someone reads them.<br /><br />P.S2: I am also looking forward to making another movie called "The Last Man" which should come out sometime next year. Stay tuned for updates on that project! Thanks again! Sara Mccarty<br /><br />PS3: For those of you who've read my other reviews, please note that I never say anything negative about any actor. In fact, I believe everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. And sometimes even the best actors can fall short at times. That's why I try to avoid saying things like "this guy sucks!" instead of simply calling him bad. Sometimes what we need to hear from our critics is that he/she likes his/her work. Otherwise we're left wondering whether or not we should buy tickets to watch his/her show. :)<br /><br />-Sara ([email protected])<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~	As a kid I did not like this movie, but as an adult it is one of the best movies ever made. The story is about two brothers who are trying to make their way in life and how they try to do so without any help from anyone else.<br /><br />The acting was great by all involved except for the main character played by Michael Jai White (who should be better known). He plays his part perfectly and does everything he can with what little material there is on him. His performance alone makes up for most if not all of the flaws that were present in the rest of the film.<br /><br />I have seen many films where you have to watch them over several times just because you want to see every single scene again. This film has no such problem at all; watching it once will give you enough enjoyment to keep coming back for more. It's also worth seeing twice or three times before you start thinking "Oh my gosh! What could possibly happen next?"<br /><br />All in all, this is definitely a must-see for everyone. 10/10. <br /><br />This movie really shows why Hollywood needs to take some time off after making these types of films. People need to relax and enjoy themselves instead of being constantly busy working on new projects. That would only lead to people getting bored quickly and losing interest in other things. And then we'd never get anything done!<br /><br />If you haven't already read my review of "Cabin Fever", check out my previous post: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397256/.

Thanks for reading! :)	As a kid I did not understand the hype surrounding this film. It was just another movie about some guy who gets killed and is resurrected by an evil spirit, but it didn't seem to bother me because I had no idea what all of that meant.<br /><br />Then one day my friend and I were watching a documentary on the subject "The Spirit" when we came across this film. We thought it looked interesting so we decided to rent it for our weekend. When we got home we saw how much better it looked than the DVD copy we bought at Wal-Mart (which was also way too expensive).<br /><br />I have never seen anything like The Spirit before in terms of special effects or acting. There are many scenes where you can tell they took great care with lighting and sound design. For example: In one scene where the ghostly creature has been trapped inside of a house, there's a shot right after the door closes showing the light coming from outside through the window. Then later on he opens up the door again and shows us his face! And then suddenly the camera pans out onto the living room carpet as if the viewer isn't even looking at the screen!<br /><br />It really does look like someone spent hours making sure everything looks good. Even though I'm 20 years old now, I still think this is one of the best movies ever made. If only more people would realize this and see it for themselves...it could be worth buying the DVD version next time around. But don't expect any action sequences; instead, watch the slow build-up to the end credits. You'll get a lot of enjoyment out of it without having to worry about getting your heart rate going fast enough to make yourself sick. Just enjoy it while you're sitting down to eat dinner together. Trust me, you won't regret it.<br /><br />(PS- This review contains spoilers) <br /><br />1/5 stars - Too bad it wasn't longer. My friends and I rented it twice over the summer trying to find a shorter cut. Unfortunately, each time we tried to rip off parts of the original, we found ourselves running into problems. Sometimes the cuts weren't exactly accurate, sometimes the actors seemed to be doing things differently than usual, etc. So we ended up spending two days cutting back and forth between the originals and this new version until we finally settled on something that worked well for both of us. On top of that, we learned a few lessons along the way:<br /><br />*	As a kid I did not like this movie. It was just plain boring and uninteresting.<br /><br />I remember the first time I saw it, my dad took me to see it with him. He said that he thought it would be good for me because of what happened in "The Wizard of Oz". My mom didn't think so because she felt that it wasn't very scary or interesting at all. But when we watched it again after 20 years later, I really enjoyed watching it again! The story is about Dorothy's adventures as she travels through Kansas and eventually finds herself in London. She meets her best friend Toto (who happens to look exactly like Groucho Marx)and they become friends. They find out that there are other magical creatures living in England who want to take over their world by destroying them. So they go on an adventure together trying to stop these evil people from taking over our world.<br /><br />This film has some great animation and special effects which make you feel like you're right there with Dorothy and Toto. Also, the music is amazing especially the songs sung by Groucho and Judy Garland. This film also features many famous actors such as Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, and others. And finally, if you haven't seen it yet, watch it now before it gets released on DVD!! You won't regret it!<br /><br />My favorite part of the movie is when they get into the castle where the evil wizards live. That scene alone made me cry tears of joy!!!<br /><br />If you have any kids under your age, don't miss this wonderful classic! Enjoy! :) <br /><br />(And yes, I know it's rated R but I'm sure most parents will agree that it's still suitable for children.)<br /><br />PS: If you ever read this review, please tell me how much you liked it...it means alot to me!

I liked how the film made you feel sorry for the people involved in the attack. It wasn't just a simple horror flick where the killer would be killed off at the end. There were some nice moments throughout the movie which kept me watching until the very end. <br /><br />I thought the acting was good overall. Some of the actors did well including Mitzi Kapture, Peter Boyle, John Ritter, and Joe Mantegna. All of them gave great performances. However, I didn't really care much about any of them except for Mary McDonnell, who played Jill's mother, who seemed pretty believable. Overall, though, the movie was worth seeing if you're looking for something different than most movies nowadays. If you want to see a truly scary movie without gore or violence, try "Witchfinder General" instead. In fact, both films share many similarities: they involve a group of strangers setting up camp in the wilderness; they feature several murders; they include supernatural elements; and they deal with themes such as love, loss, and revenge.

This interview will be repeated many times throughout the movie as we learn about Jill's life and career.<br /><br />I really enjoyed watching this film because it showed us what could have been if people had listened to their fears when they started new jobs or relationships. It also shows us how important family values are and how important friendships are too. The fact that there wasn't any violence in this film didn't bother me one bit. In fact, I thought it was very realistic and well done. There isn't much gore in this film but it does show some pretty good acting and direction. Overall, I would recommend this film to anyone interested in seeing something different than most movies these days. If you're looking for a light hearted comedy then look elsewhere. However, if you want to see a true story about real people then watch this film! You won't regret it!<br /><br />Rating: 7/10<br /><br />*SPOILERS<br /><br />If you haven't seen this film yet then please do so. It's worth your while to give it a chance.

She's not the only one, however; her sister Mary (Marilyn Reitman), and brother Frank (Richard Widmark) are also in love with Jill but can't seem to get together.<br /><br />This movie was made for television back when it didn't have any sound or color so they had to use black & white photography. The acting wasn't great either as some of the characters were flat and uninteresting. I don't know why this film got such good reviews from critics like Robert Altman and John Cassavetes because there really isn't much here that makes you think "wow, what an interesting story".<br /><br />The plot doesn't make sense at all and if you're looking for something original then this might be your best bet. This would probably work better on TV than on screen since the camera-work looks amateurish and the music sounds cheap too. It seems that every time someone does anything funny in front of the camera, everyone else gets embarrassed about how bad their performance actually looked. <br /><br />I'm sure many people will find this film entertaining enough to watch once again even though it may be dated now. For me, it felt more like watching reruns of Saturday Night Live than a feature-length film! 3/10<br /><br />(from IMDb)<br /><br />Title: A Woman Called Rose<br /><br />Director: David Lean<br /><br />Writer(s): Peter Ustinov<br /><br />Starring: Marilyn Reitman, Richard Widmark, Mitzi Kapture, Gene Tierney, George Brent, Charles Drake, James Stewart, Anthony Quinn, Christopher Reeve, Paul Lukas, Walter Matthau, Jean Simmons, Ronald Colman, William Holden, Ray Milland, Jack Lemmon, Rosalind Russell, Liza Minelli, Donald Sutherland, Susan Hayward, Barbara Bel Geddes, Joseph Cotten, Sidney Poitier, Deborah Kerr, Ralph Meeker, Laurence Olivier, Tony Curtis, Rex Harrison, Edward G.

She's got her own apartment, but she doesn't know how to get around the city and find work.<br /><br />She meets up with an older man named Jack (played by John Ritter), whom Jill likes very much. They start dating, which leads them into some trouble when they try to have sex in a bar where it isn't legal.<br /><br />The movie starts out slow as Jill tries to figure things out on her own. Then it picks up steam as we see what happens next. The story moves along at a good pace until we reach the end of the film. It ends rather abruptly though.<br /><br />This was one of those movies that I found myself watching over and over again because it had such great acting performances. But then there were also some really bad scenes throughout the movie. For example, there are several times during the course of this movie where you can tell something about the characters' personalities is going to be revealed before any action takes place. This could've been avoided if the director hadn't rushed through the first half of the movie so quickly. There wasn't enough time for us to develop these characters further or even allow us to care too deeply about their plight.<br /><br />I give "A Time To Kill" 3 stars out of 10. It does have its moments. If you're looking for a fast-paced thriller that will keep your interest from beginning to end, this might not be the best choice for you. However, if you want a light-hearted comedy that won't take itself seriously, you may enjoy this flick. Otherwise, stick with something more serious like "American Pie."

This movie sucked. It really was a waste of my life. The acting was atrocious, the plot completely implausible. Long, long story short, these people get "terrorized" by this pathetic "crazed killer", but completely fail to fight back in any manner. And this is after they take a raft on a camping trip, with no gear, and show up at a campsite that is already assembled and completely stocked with food and clothes and the daughters headphones. Additionally, after their boat goes missing, they panic that they're stuck in the woods, but then the daughters boyfriend just shows up and they apparently never consider that they could just hike out of the woods like he did to get to them. Like I said, this movie sucks. A complete joke. Don't let your girlfriend talk you into watching it.	0neg	This movie sucked. It really	This movie sucked. It really did.<br /><br />The story was about a group of friends who are trying to get into the top 10 in their high school's marching band, but they have no idea what it takes to make it big (except for the fact that there is some sort of drug problem going on). The acting wasn't bad at all; I guess you could say that. But this film just didn't work as well as other films from the same director. <br /><br />I don't know why people like this movie so much. This isn't even close to being one of my favorite movies! In fact, I'm not sure if I've ever seen anything worse than this movie. And that's saying something because I love most of the stuff I watch these days...<br /><br />If you're looking for an action-packed movie with lots of explosions and gun battles, then go see "Pulp Fiction". If you want a serious drama or comedy with great performances by John Cusack and Jack Nicholson, then look elsewhere. Otherwise, skip this one completely!<br /><br />It has nothing special to offer except for its title - which makes me wonder how many more times we'll be seeing this film again before it gets released on DVD? Oh yeah, and there were two scenes where the camera pans back over the actors' heads during the show-stopping music scene. That was pretty lame too. Don't waste your time watching this one unless you absolutely must. You may even enjoy it once or twice when you do happen upon it on cable TV. But otherwise, save yourself the trouble and avoid this one. You won't regret it! 2/10<br /><br />PS: My wife liked it better than I did, though she loved "Fight Club" and "American Psycho."

It really did.<br /><br />I don't know if it's because I'm a sucker for bad movies or what, but this one was just plain awful. The plot is so stupid and the acting by all of the actors were laughable (and that includes the lead actor).<br /><br />The worst part about this film was when they showed the "hero" being tortured in some way...you have to see it yourself! If you're going to do a horror flick like this then at least show us how it ends!<br /><br />If you want to watch an interesting movie with good acting check out "Eyes Wide Shut". That had more suspense than this piece of crap. And even though it didn't end well either, it still got my vote as the best movie ever made. 1/2 stars<br /><br />Oh yeah - and there are other people who think this movie sucks too. Don't listen to them. This movie sucks so much worse than any other movie on earth.

He has no reason not to die from torture. But he does anyway because he wants revenge against his mother. So instead of trying to save himself, he tries to kill her. Then we get to see him getting killed again and again until finally he gets away with killing her. In fact, she doesn't seem to care anymore since she thinks she can take care of herself without him around. She goes back home alone and starts living off her father's inheritance. When she finds out that her dad died during a raid on her house, she decides to go after those guys responsible for the attack. Of course, she fails miserably. Now she needs money to live off of and hires a hit-man named Michael to help her find him. Unfortunately, Michael turns out to be a psychopath who kills anyone who crosses his path. After killing two men, Michael comes up with another plan to kill the woman he thought was dead. He takes her into his lair where he tortures her and eventually murders her. At the same time, Michael also gets a call asking him to come over	This movie sucked. It really did, and I can't believe that it got a 10 out of ten rating.<br /><br />I was expecting something better than this film. The plot is pretty lame (and the acting is just awful).<br /><br />The only reason why I gave it an eight instead of nine or even six is because there are some decent scenes in here. But they're not enough to save this mess from being one of the worst movies ever made.<br /><br />It's so bad that you'll want to throw up after watching it. And if you do, don't bother with subtitles; your eyes will bleed! <br /><br />If you like cheesy horror flicks, then by all means watch this. If you have nothing else to do on a Friday night, go see it anyway. You won't be disappointed...unless you've already seen every other horror flick before going into this one. Then you might as well skip right through it.<br /><br />Watch it for its gore alone: it looks good, but what makes it work? Well, first off, we get to see a bunch of people getting decapitated. Second, we also get to see a lot of blood splatter. Third, we get to see a bunch of zombies who look like they were picked over at random and thrown together without any prior training whatsoever. Fourth, we get to see a guy who has been bitten by a zombie who turns out to be a werewolf. Fifth, we get to see a bunch of guys trying to kill each other while wearing their own clothes. Sixth, we get to see another bunch of guys try to kill each other while wearing their own clothes. Seventh, we get to see a bunch of girls dressed up as vampires who turn out to be werewolves themselves.

It really did.<br /><br />The plot was weak and the characters were not very interesting or likable. The acting wasn't great either, but it didn't help that the script was so bad. I don't know what the filmmakers thought when they made this film...it's like watching a 5 year old write his own screenplay for some unknown reason. There is no point to anything in this film except for the fact that you can see how the director wanted us to think he had something going on with these two people (the main character) as if we are supposed to believe there is more than meets the eye about them. This is one of those movies where you have to be able to suspend your disbelief just because everything seems so unbelievable at first. And then later, after realizing that all of the things that seem impossible actually do happen, you realize that maybe it isn't such a big deal afterall. That's why it's called "Surreal".<br /><br />I would never recommend anyone watch this film unless you're completely bored and want to kill time while waiting for a good movie to come along. If you enjoy horrible films, this might make up for its shortcomings by being an enjoyable experience. But otherwise, avoid! <br /><br />(Forgive my spelling errors.)<br /><br />-Randy<br /><br />1/2 out of **. Maybe better than average? Well, I guess that depends on who you ask.

Lifetime did it again. Can we say stupid? I couldn't wait for it to end. The plot was senseless. The acting was terrible! Especially by the teenagers. The story has been played a thousand times! Are we just desperate to give actors a job? The previews were attractive and I was really looking for a good thriller.Once in awhile lifetime comes up with a good movie, this isn't one of them. Unless one has nothing else to do I would avoid this one at all cost. This was a waste of two hours of my life. Can I get them back? I would have rather scraped my face against a brick wall for two hours then soaked it in peroxide. That would have been more entertaining.	0neg	Lifetime did it again. Can	Lifetime did it again. Can't wait for the next one to come out, I'm sure.<br /><br />I am a fan of all the actors in this movie and they are great but not enough with their characters. The story is weak and predictable like every other action flick you can find on TV or DVD. It's just plain boring. <br /><br />The acting was good though and there were some decent scenes that had me laughing at times. But overall, don't waste your time buying this movie because it will only make you angry. If you want something different watch "Swordfish" instead. 3/10<br /><br /> Spoilers Ahead <br /><br />This film has been compared to "Die Hard", which is true as both films have similar plot lines involving bad guys who go after people who are trying to stop them from doing what they're supposed to be doing (in this case stopping terrorists). Both movies also involve a female lead character who helps save her countryman when he gets captured by the bad guy. However, unlike Die Hard, Swordfish does NOT feature an anti-hero hero played by a woman. Instead, we get a maniacal killer who kills his victims while wearing women's clothes! This makes him look even more menacing than usual since he looks nothing alike to anyone else. And besides, why would any sane person wear men's clothes? That's just ridiculous!<br /><br />As far as the cast goes, most of the main players are familiar faces; Robert Englund, John Leguizamo, Danny Trejo, etc. So if you've seen these names before then you'll probably enjoy this film very much. However, those unfamiliar with the name may feel uncomfortable watching this movie due to its lack of originality. Also, the script seems pretty standard too, although the pacing could certainly improve upon it. Overall, Swordfish isn't terrible but it doesn't stand above average either. In fact, it falls below average by comparison to many others out there today. Don't expect anything special here...just another typical action flick. 4/10<br /><br />(spoiler) <br /><br />* Spoiler <br /><br />In conclusion, Swordfish is a mediocre action flick that lacks originality and fails to deliver excitement. While it might appeal to fans of the genre, it won't satisfy anybody looking for something new and fresh. Stick to "Die Hard" instead. 2/10<br /><br />*** S	Lifetime did it again. Can't believe they made this movie in 1975, when the original was released.<br /><br />The film is about a group of people who are being hunted by an evil organization that wants to kill them all for their money (the title).<br /><br />I'm not sure if I can say anything positive about this film because there's nothing good happening here and everything happens so fast you don't have time to think or feel what's going on. The acting isn't great either - but at least the actors aren't bad; most of the characters just look like they're trying too hard to act well.<br /><br />This one really doesn't deserve any awards other than "Best Worst Movie Ever Made". It has some pretty decent scenes though, including the final scene where the main character gets shot through the heart with a gun he pulled out of his pocket while running away from the killer...and then dies! <br /><br />If you want something scary, go see "House Of The Dead" instead. If you want a good action flick, watch "Die Hard", "Lethal Weapon II", or even "Spaceballs". This movie is definitely not among those films. And no, I didn't write that as a negative comment. Just saying. But seriously, do yourself a favor: skip this one. You'll be glad you did. :)	Lifetime did it again. Can't believe they made this movie after the success of "The Devil's Advocate". It was a waste of time and money.<br /><br />I'm not sure if I should be criticizing the acting or just saying that the story is so bad, you can feel how badly written it is by watching it. The plot has no reason to exist at all; there are too many inconsistencies in it for me to care about any characters. The script seems as though someone wrote it on paper with their fingers while sitting down in front of the TV. <br /><br />It would have been better if the writers had given us some kind of explanation why we were being led into such a mess. Instead, we get a bunch of people who seem like they're trying to act out scenes from an old horror film (the only one where they actually make sense) but fail miserably because they don't know what they're talking about. This makes them sound more believable than anyone else ever does. And then there's the dialogue - which is even worse: it sounds like someone forgot to read a book before writing it! Some parts are completely ridiculous and others are downright stupid. There's also a lot of gratuitous violence and gore thrown around here and there, especially when they try to show off their muscles. But hey, maybe that's part of the fun!<br /><br />If you want to see something really awful, watch "The Devil's Advocate" instead. That's probably your best bet. If you want to see something good, rent "The Devil's Advocate", "The Ring", or "Scream 3". They'll give you more entertainment value without having to pay $10+ per ticket. Or go ahead and buy the DVD version...it might help you sleep tonight. You won't regret it! :D<br /><br />Oh well. At least I didn't spend my hard-earned cash buying tickets to either of those movies. :(<br /><br />(Note: My comments may contain spoilers.)<br /><br />PS: Did anybody notice that the ending credits say "This movie is rated R."? What the hell?! I thought that meant PG rating? Oh well....but anyway...if you haven't already seen it, please do yourself a favor and check out "The Devil's Advocate" first. Then come back and tell me what you think about this movie later. :) Thanks for reading! =)<br /><br />~P.S.: Sorry for the long rant. Don't	Lifetime did it again. Can't believe this movie was made in 1987, and that they still make movies like these today.<br /><br />I have to say I didn't care for the characters at all, but then again, I'm not a big fan of "The Simpsons".<br /><br />This is just another example of how Hollywood has become more and more obsessed with making action flicks instead of serious drama or comedy. This film really doesn't even try hard enough on either front.<br /><br />It's so bad that it makes me want to turn off my television set right now! <br /><br />If you're looking for an entertaining movie, look elsewhere. If you need some entertainment, watch The Simpsons (or any other show). Otherwise go see something else...like this one!<br /><br />(Spoilers)<br /><br />In this movie, we get to see a bunch of people who are trying to escape from their own reality by going through a tunnel into another dimension. They find themselves trapped there because they can only move forward when they touch things. But what happens if they don't do anything? What will happen to them?<br /><br />Well, after several attempts, they finally manage to reach the end of the tunnel. And as they walk out of the tunnel, they realize that they've been transported back to the present day. Now they must figure out why they were sent here in the first place.<br /><br />What follows is a series of events where they meet up with various characters including: a woman named Lizzie (played by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), her boyfriend (played by Chris Penn), and a man named John (played by David Duchovny). Along the way, they come across many obstacles such as zombies, snakes, and even a couple of vampires. However, none of those problems stop them from reaching their goal.<br /><br />Unfortunately, although the plot twists and turns throughout the entire movie, the acting performances aren't very good. It seems like every character is given a role that isn't well developed. For instance, while everyone knows that Lizzie and John are lovers, no one ever gets to know much about their relationship outside of being friends. In fact, most of the time, they seem like complete strangers. Also, despite having a lot of dialogue, the actors never seem to be able to convey emotions properly. At times, they sound bored or annoyed rather than feeling sorry for each other.<br /><br />	0.499999	0.500001	0.499999	0.500001
I have to say I am really surprised at the high ratings for this movie. I found it to be absolutely idiotic. The mother gets "visions" when she touches certain things or people? And one thing she touched twice made her vision continue... Just seemed so ridiculous. Deedee Pfieffer's performance was awful I thought. She was very irritating. The girl who played Lori did a good job and so did most of the supporting cast for what they had to work with.<br /><br />I usually love LMN and am very open minded when it comes to movies but this movie seemed to have a ridiculous plot and over the top acting and it just was not for me.	0neg	I have to say I	I have to say I am a huge fan of the original "The Wizard Of Oz" and even though it was made in 1934, it still holds up well today. The movie is full of wonderful songs such as "How High", "Over There", "Happy Days Are Here Again", "It's A Wonderful Life", "Can You Feel The Love Tonight", etc., which are all great! Also, there were some changes that were added during this version (such as Dorothy not being able to fly anymore).<br /><br />This version also has many characters from the first film who make their own appearances here: Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Cowardly Lion, Gollum, Hobgoblin, Smeagol, Greenie-Greedy, Bells Outta Town, and the whole cast of other animals.<br /><br />Overall, if you like the original or just want to see how an animated version could be done, then definitely check out this one!<br /><br />My Grade: /5 Stars<br /><br />(out of five) <br /><br />SPOILER ALERT***<br /><br />In order for me to give this film a perfect score, I would need to tell you what happens when they take the last remaining character from the original story - the Scarecrow! In fact, he gets killed off by the very end of the film... so don't worry about spoilers on that part of the plot because it doesn't affect my rating at all! However, after reading reviews elsewhere online, people seem to think that this is a bad thing since it makes the Scarecrow look weak and pathetic. Well, let me explain why this isn't true:<br /><br />First, in spite of his death, the Scarecrow remains a pretty strong figure throughout most of the rest of the film. He does become weaker towards the end but overall, he looks much stronger than before. Second, the Scarecrow is actually quite funny throughout the entire film. His jokes aren't always witty but they're often hilarious nonetheless. Third, we never really lose any sympathy with him either way. We know that he'll die eventually no matter what happens next, but we can sympathize with him regardless of whether or not he lives forever. Finally, while the Scarecrow may be somewhat annoying sometimes, he's more tolerable than the other main characters. This is probably due to the fact that the director decided to keep the Scare	I have to say I was a little disappointed with this movie. It's not the worst film ever made, but it is definitely one of those films that you can't really get into until after 10 minutes in and then you start getting bored.<br /><br />The acting isn't bad either (the only thing that could be improved would probably be the character development), but there are so many other things going on here that make it hard for me to sit through another hour or two...<br /><br />Overall, though, if your wife likes "B" movies, you might enjoy watching this one. Otherwise, steer clear! :) <br /><br />(And yes, I did actually read all three books by Stephen King before seeing this movie.)<br /><br />PS: If you're looking for an interesting story about a serial killer who murders people while wearing masks, check out The Ring instead. That has some great twists and turns as well. But this movie just doesn't cut it!<p> --Jenny<br /><br />This movie sucks. This movie sucked when I saw it at my local video store. Now I'm sitting down to watch it again because I've been waiting for someone else to tell me how good it is. So far I haven't found anyone to do that. All I know is that it wasn't even worth renting. And I don't think I'll rent it again anytime soon. Not since Halloween II came close.<br /><br />There were some parts where I thought maybe they had gotten away from the original plot line completely, but no. They kept making references back to it like "Oh yeah, we should bring back the old characters." Or something along those lines. You'd think that once you started reading the book that you wouldn't need any more reference material. After all, you already knew what happened anyway. Which means that the filmmakers must have had a lot of fun writing these scenes without telling us anything new.<br /><br />But overall, this movie didn't hold up very well against its own expectations. There weren't enough scares to keep me awake throughout the entire movie. In fact, most of the time I couldn't figure out why certain events were happening or why certain actions were being taken.

The only reason why I gave this film three stars instead of two or four would be if it wasn't for the fact that I've seen many other movies like this before and liked them better than this one. But since I haven't seen any of these others yet, I'll give this film a zero out of ten! <br /><br />(PS: If anyone knows where I could find some copies of the DVD version of this film, please let me know!)<br /><br />-Kris<br /><br />Rating: 1/20 out of *** (out of **)	I have to say I am a huge fan of the original 'The Twilight Zone' and this is one of my favorite episodes. It's so much better than all those other ones that were made in the 70s or even earlier.<br /><br />This episode has some great dialogue, especially between the two main characters (the doctor and his wife) who are both very funny as well as touching at times. The story itself is also quite interesting - it deals with a suicide attempt by a young woman after she finds out her boyfriend was cheating on her. She then decides to take revenge against him and ends up killing herself. However, what makes this episode stand out from others like them is its use of humor and irony throughout. There are many moments where you will laugh but not because they're funny but rather for their own reason. This is definitely worth watching if only just to see how good the script can be when used properly! And don't forget about the music too; it really adds to the overall atmosphere of the show. Overall, another must-see for any fan of classic TV shows!<br /><br />(PS: If anyone knows why there isn't an English dub available for this series please let me know!)<br /><br />1/5 stars.

The original book of this was set in the 1950s but that won't do for the TV series because most people watch for the 1930s style. Ironically the tube train near the end was a 1950s train painted to look like a 1930s train so the Underground can play at that game too. Hanging the storyline on a plot about the Jarrow March was feeble but the 50s version had students who were beginning to think about the world around them so I suppose making them think about the poverty of the marchers is much the same thing. All the stuff about Japp having to cater for himself was weak too but they had to put something in to fill the time. This would have made a decent half hour show or they could have filmed the book and made it a better long show. It is obvious this episode is a victim of style over content.	0neg	The original book of this	The original book of this film is a masterpiece. The cast and crew did an amazing job with the script, direction, editing, cinematography, music, sets, costumes, special effects, etc.<br /><br />I have seen all 3 movies in which I am involved as both director and actor (and that includes "A Christmas Carol" & "Peter Pan").<br /><br />This movie was one of my favorites growing up - it's just so darn good! It has everything you could want from a holiday story: family values, love, redemption, friendship, hope...it's a classic for sure!<br /><br />It also had some great songs by Irving Berlin including "White Christmas," "Santa Claus Is Coming to You!" and many more. <br /><br />If you haven't yet seen it, make sure you do before it ends its run on DVD. If not, get your hands on a copy NOW!!! This is truly a must see for everyone who loves childrens' literature or simply wants to enjoy a nice warm cozy evening watching a wonderful movie together as a family. And if you're lucky enough to be able to watch it again someday, then even better!! A true gem indeed!<br /><br />My only complaint about the movie is that they didn't include any scenes where Peter Pan meets his sister Wendy. That would've been cool too! But hey, at least we got our fair share of fun-filled moments like when he saves her from being eaten alive by the giant worms, and she tells him how much she loved him. Oh well....maybe next time someone will include them in their version of the film.<br /><br />Anyway, I give this movie a solid 8/10 stars out of 10. It deserves every bit of it! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />PS- Don't forget to check out the other two films starring Christopher Lee ("Dracula") and Robert Bloomingdale ("Napoleon Dynamite"), along with others such as "Robin Hood", "Oliver Twist", "Jack London", "Pride Of Blood", "Little Women", "Mary Poppins", "West Side Story", "Gone With The Wind", "The Wizard Of Oz", "Frankenstein", "Alice In Wonderland", "Hammer Force", "Beowulf", "Cinderella", "Sleeping Beauty", "Beauty And The Beast", "Snow White", "The Little Mermaid", "Aladdin", "Hercules", "Tarzan", "	The original book of this movie is a great read. The story and the characters are all fantastic, but I think that it's just as good to watch the film version because you get to see how they were made.<br /><br />It was also nice to have some music in there too! It adds something extra for me when watching movies like these!<br /><br />I'm glad that people who don't know about this movie will go out and buy it so that more people can enjoy it. This movie has been on my list since I first saw it at school 10 years ago. Now if only someone would make an English dub for it...<br /><br />(Note: I am not related to any actors or actresses involved with this movie) <br /><br />If anyone knows where I could find a copy of this movie please let me know!! Thank You! :) <br /><br />PS - If you're reading this comment after seeing this movie then you probably haven't seen the DVD release yet (which came out last night). There is no way around buying it now though, unless you want to wait until next year for the DVD release. :( <br /><br />Thank You!!! <br /><br />-Sara<br /><br />P.S - I've heard from several other fans here that the DVD comes with two extras which aren't included in the regular box set. One is a short documentary by director David Lynch called "A Brief History Of Violence" which covers the history of violence throughout cinema. Another one is a short featurette titled "The Making Of 'Cannibal Holocaust'". Both of those features are available separately on the DVD release. However, neither includes the audio commentary nor the theatrical trailer. So if you happen to be interested in both things check them out before purchasing the DVD. Thanks again! :) <br /><br />-Sara<br /><br />PS2 - I recently watched the DVD and found myself laughing hysterically through most of the movie. In fact, I laughed so hard I almost cried during parts of it. Also, although I didn't cry much while watching this movie, I did laugh quite often. Maybe I should keep looking forward to seeing what else is coming up? ;) <br /><br />Anyway, thanks again for your comments guys! I hope everyone enjoys this movie as much as I do! :) And thank you once again for checking out my site! See ya later! :D <br /><br />-Sara<br /><br />Thanks	The original book of this movie is a must read for any fan. It's the best way to understand what happened in the first film and how it affected the second one.<br /><br />This version has been done so well that I can't imagine anyone else doing anything better than this, but I'm sure there are others out there who have seen other versions as well (I've only heard good things about "Crimson Tide" though).<br /><br />It also helps if you know some basic history on the war itself. This was an American invasion into Japan during WWII which resulted in 3 million dead soldiers. The Japanese were not prepared for such a massive attack by Americans and ended up losing almost all their land and resources. After WW2, they had no choice but to start rebuilding from scratch with little or nothing left behind. They did manage to build something resembling civilization again after World War II, but it wasn't until the late 70s when the US started sending troops over to help rebuild the country.<br /><br />So don't expect too much detail here...the story is pretty simple: A bunch of guys get together at a bar where they decide to form a band called "The Crimson Tide". One of them gets killed and his replacement joins the group. Soon enough, everyone starts getting sick and dying due to a mysterious illness spread through drinking water. And guess what? There's a virus! <br /><br />There's lots more to say about this movie, including its plot twists, characters, music, acting, etc., but suffice it to say that it's a great movie. If you're interested in seeing a different take on the classic, check out the sequel "Crimson Tide 2", released in 1985. That's the real deal. You'll see why this movie is considered one of the greatest movies ever made. <br /><br />If you haven't already, go buy the book - even if you think you know everything you need to know. In fact, I'd recommend buying both books because they give you a lot of background information before watching the movie. Also, watch the TV show "Battlestar Galactica" and learn more about the events leading up to the war. Both shows are excellent sources of information and entertainment. Plus, there's always the option of renting the DVD release of the movie. Just be warned, however, that many people will find the DVD less enjoyable than the book; especially those unfamiliar with the material. But overall,	The original book of this movie is a great read. The film was made in 1982, but the story and characters are still very much alive today.<br /><br />I am not sure if I have seen all the episodes or not because it's been so long since I last watched them. But I remember that one episode had an interesting twist at the end. It seemed to be something about how they were going to get rid of him for good...but then he came back! <br /><br />This series has always been my favorite show. There isn't any other TV program like it on television these days. And when you add in the fact that it's such a fun show with lots of action, humor, romance and adventure, well, there just can't be anything else out there!<br /><br />It would be nice to see more of the same quality here again...especially after the recent cancellation of "Lost".<br /><br />But hey, what do I know? This is just my opinion. If you're into shows like this one, check it out. You'll love it! (And don't forget to watch the first season!) :) <br /><br />(PS: I'm from Canada)	0.500025	0.499975	0.499991	0.500009
The annoying mouse and lullaby really got to me and really had nothing to do with the story...It's something I would have done my 1st year in film school. Very sad. Additionally, the story just seemed to drag on for no apparent reason...there were too many things just thrown in there that had nothing to do with the story, which makes me feel that the creative team didn't really know what they were doing, or just that it should have been shorter...which would have been a blessing, not a crime. As I have just watched all of the episodes up to this point over the past week...I'd have to say that this was by far the worst, and I just wanted to warn others not to start with this one.	0neg	The annoying mouse and lullaby	The annoying mouse and lullaby are the only good parts of this movie. I can't believe that someone would spend 10 bucks to make such a horrible film, which is why it's so bad.<br /><br />I'm not sure what kind of people made this movie but they must have been desperate for money or something because there was no plot at all! The characters were just random people who had nothing in common with each other except their animal friends. It seemed like every time one character got killed off (which happened about once) another came along to take his place. There wasn't even any reason for them to be together as far as I could tell. And when you get to the end where everything comes crashing down around your head...it doesn't matter how much you love animals; you'll hate yourself after seeing this movie. Trust me on that. This movie will haunt you forever. <br /><br />This movie should never have gotten released into theaters. If anyone wants to see an awful movie, rent "A Wrinkle In Time". That's better than watching this garbage. You won't regret renting that instead. Just don't watch this movie unless you're really stupid. Otherwise, avoid it completely. Your life may depend on it. Or maybe not. Who knows? Maybe you might find some joy in it somehow. But if you do, then you've done something right. Because this movie deserves more than 2 stars out of 5. So please, if you want to see a truly terrible movie, go ahead and rent "A Wrinkle In Time" instead. At least you know you did something wrong by wasting $10 buying this piece of trash. Thank you very much. Now let's move on from here. :)<br /><br />3/10 Stars - A Wrinkle In Time<br /><br />* Spoilers * <br /><br />(spoiler alert):<br /><br />- The ending makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Why does everyone die?? What happens next??? How come the mice keep coming back?! Why didn't the mouse eat the baby mouse?? Why does he keep saying "You're going to kill me!"??? Why isn't the little girl crying anymore??? Why does she always say "Oh my God!!"??? Why does the cat scream until he dies??? Why does the mouse cry hysterically while the kid cries silently??? Why does the mouse run away from the cat??? Why does the cat run towards him??? Why does the mouse turn around and run away again	The annoying mouse and lullaby are the only redeeming qualities of this movie. The rest is just a bunch of people running around in circles, screaming at each other about how much they love their jobs (and that it's all so boring). I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fact that the whole thing was shot on video tape with 1080p resolution. This would have been better if there were some sort of camera crew or someone who could actually make the film look like an actual movie.<br /><br />I gave it two stars because it had something to be said for it: "This guy wants to go back into space." But even then, he probably wouldn't get past the first few minutes without getting his hands dirty again. And why did everyone keep saying that the sun was going to explode? It never happened! Maybe the director didn't want to talk too much about the sun exploding since it wasn't really important anyway. He should've stuck with the original idea though...<br /><br />(spoilers) If you're looking for a good sci-fi flick, skip this one. You'll thank me later. <br /><br />'SPOILER ALERT' - THE SUN IS GOING TO EXPLODE!<br /><br />It seems as if every time we see a bad Sci-Fi Movie, it gets worse. What can I say? There aren't many things more entertaining than watching a group of people run around in circles, yelling "We Love Our Jobs" while singing songs from Disney films. So what if you don't understand the plot line? That doesn't matter either. We know nothing but crap when it comes to movies these days. Even those made by Hollywood studios seem to fall short of our expectations. They always end up being lame, cheesy, predictable, etc. Just watch any old low-budget horror movie instead and you might find yourself enjoying them more. Or maybe not. In my opinion, the best way to enjoy a movie is through its own unique style and atmosphere. A lot of times, the audience will appreciate your effort more than anything else. For instance, if you create a story where everything happens within seconds, chances are you won't win over anyone. On the contrary, if you take the time to build suspense throughout the entire movie, you may surprise your viewers. Also, if you use music well enough, it can enhance the overall mood of the movie. Some examples include "Fight Club," "The Matrix," and "Aliens."<br /><br />So here goes my advice	The annoying mouse and lullaby are the only things that make this movie worth watching. The rest of it is a complete waste of time.<br /><br />I saw this in theaters, but I can't remember much about it except for how bad it was. It's not even funny! <br /><br />If you want to see something really awful, rent "A Christmas Story" or "Home Alone 2". These movies have more laughs than this one does...and they're all better than this one. (And if you do decide to watch this film again - don't bother with the ending.)<br /><br />This is just plain stupid. If you've seen any other version of A Christmas Story then you know what I'm talking about; there's no reason why anyone would ever think this is good. And besides, who cares? This isn't as entertaining as most people say. There were some parts where I laughed out loud at least once, which should be enough to keep your interest. But overall, this is an absolute dud. Avoid like the plague!<br /><br />1/5 stars. Don't waste yours on this one. You'll regret it when you look back and realize you wasted so many hours of your life. sigh Oh well. At least we got our money's worth from buying these DVDs. :D<br /><br />(Note: Some spoilers ahead) <br /><br />There's nothing wrong with having fun. However, this movie has absolutely zero humor value whatsoever. In fact, it makes me sick. Not because it's boring, but because it's completely devoid of anything amusing. From start to finish, every scene is filled with lame jokes, clichés, and silly situations. Even though the plot seems simple, the characters aren't given any depth or development. They seem flat and uninteresting throughout the entire movie. The acting is also terrible, especially by the lead actors. They come off as wooden and uninspired during their scenes. Overall, this movie is just plain dull and pointless. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this one altogether. You won't regret it! :( <br /><br />3/10 stars. Average. Just average. No real redeeming qualities here. Stick to "A Christmas Story" or "Christmas Vacation." Those two films are far superior to this one. Enjoy! :)	The annoying mouse and lullaby are the only redeeming qualities of this film. The rest is just a waste of time, especially since it's been done so many times before.<br /><br />I'm not sure what was wrong with this movie but I can't imagine anyone who saw it would be able to enjoy it. It has no plot or character development whatsoever. There were some pretty bad lines in there too. For example: "You're going to have to go through me if you want my help." <br /><br />This movie should never have even gotten made because it doesn't deserve any more than that. If you enjoyed watching mice walk around in their own little world then maybe you'll like this one! Otherwise don't bother wasting your money on it. 1/2 star outta 4<br /><br />(It's actually about half as long as this other equally awful Disney classic called "Tales From Outer Space" which also stars Mickey Mouse.)<br /><br />Andrea Bocelli (who plays the lead singer) sings his way into every scene he appears in. He does an OK job at singing, though he sounds very old for someone who looks young enough to be 70 years old. His voice isn't great either. In fact, it seems to get worse throughout most of the movie except when he starts singing the lullabies. Andrea Bocelli gets really good at singing these songs during the middle part of the movie...and after that, he just goes off on whatever song comes up next without much effort. This makes him sound like a complete moron.<br /><br />Mickey Rooney (the main guy) is supposed to be the hero here but he ends up being quite boring. He talks too much and acts too goofy sometimes. But hey, he's still the coolest guy ever!<br /><br />There's nothing else worth mentioning about this movie besides the lame music score by John Williams. The music is terrible. It's almost as bad as the acting. Don't watch it unless you've got $35 to spend. You might as well try to find something better to do instead. 1/8th of a star outta four. <br /><br />Oh yeah, the mouse himself looks exactly the same as he did in "Airplane!" except he's now wearing a pair of glasses. So why didn't they make him wear them? Because he looked kind of funny anyway. Maybe they wanted to show how stupid people could look in those glasses	0.499994	0.500006	0.5	0.5
I saw this film opening weekend in Australia, anticipating with an excellent cast of Ledger, Edgerton, Bloom, Watts and Rush that the definitive story of Ned Kelly would unfold before me. Unfortunately, despite an outstanding performance by Heath Ledger in the lead role, the plot was paper thin....which doesn't inspire me to read "Our Sunshine". There were some other plus points, the support acting from Edgerton in particular, assured direction from Jordan (confirming his talent on show in Buffalo Soldiers as well), and production design that gave a real feel of harshness to the Australian bush, much as the Irish immigrants of the early 19th century must have seen it. But I can't help feeling that another opportunity has been missed to tell the real story of an Australian folk hero (or was he?)....in what I suspect is a concession to Hollywood and selling the picture in the US. Oh well, at least Jordan and the producers didn't agree to lose the beards just to please Universal...<br /><br />Guess I will just have to content myself with Peter Carey's excellent "Secret History of the Kelly Gang". 4/10	0neg	I saw this film opening	I saw this film opening night at the Toronto Film Festival. I was so excited to see it because of my love for Jean-Pierre Melville and his films, but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to watch it before it closed its festival run.<br /><br />The story is about two young men who are both in prison (one for murder, one for rape). The first man is a successful businessman, while the other has been locked up due to mental instability. They meet each other on parole when they're released from jail and decide that they should go back together after their release. However, things don't work out as planned...<br /><br />This movie had some great performances by all involved: John Cusack, Juliette Binoche, Vincent Cassel, Peter Stormare, and most notably, Paul Giamatti - he's such an underrated actor! He plays the role of the "bad guy" with such conviction that you can almost feel him shaking in his boots whenever he speaks or moves.<br /><br />If you haven't seen this movie yet, please do yourself a favor and check it out. It may not be your cup of tea, but it will make you think and ask questions. This is definitely worth seeing if only just once!<br /><br />It also won Best Canadian Feature Film at the 2013 Vancouver International Film Festival. <br /><br />(Note: I'm still waiting for the DVD version.)<br /><br />* OUT OF * Stars<br /><br />- 4/5 stars - Excellent performance by Paul Giamatti; excellent direction by David Cronenberg; very good script by Denis Villeneuve; well acted by everyone except for John Cusack.<br /><br />- 3/5 stars - Good acting by John Cusack and Paul Giamatti; decent plot twists and character development; average directing by David Fincher; slightly disappointing ending.<br /><br />- 2/5 stars - Average acting by John Cusack and Paul Giamatti; weak screenplay; predictable ending; lackluster plot twist.<br /><br />- 1/5 stars - Terrible acting by John Cusack and Paul Giamatti; poor writing; terrible script; poorly directed; bad ending.<br /><br /> OUT OF ** Stars<br /><br />- 9/10 stars - Great performance by John Cusack; outstanding direction by Denis Villeneuve; solid script by Denis Villeneuve;	I saw this film opening night at the Toronto International Film Festival. I was blown away by it, and have since seen it again on several occasions.<br /><br />The story is about a young woman who has been separated from her family for years due to an accident that killed one of their children. She returns home only to find out she's pregnant with twins! The husband dies in a car crash while driving his wife around town, leaving him behind as well. He goes into a coma and wakes up after many months without knowing what happened or how he got there. His daughter is now 16-years-old, but still doesn't know anything about her father's death. Her mother (played by Kim Basinger) tries desperately to get information from everyone they can think of - including her ex-husband, who died when she gave birth to them all.<br /><br />This movie had me hooked right off the start. It made you feel so connected to each character, even though none of us knew any of them personally. You felt sad for these people because we could see ourselves in their situations. And then, just like that, you were rooting for them to succeed despite everything.<br /><br />It also touched my heart deeply because I've experienced some similar things myself: losing someone close to me; not having anyone really understand your feelings; being misunderstood and ignored. This film shows those emotions through the eyes of three women trying to figure themselves out.<br /><br />If you're looking for a good romantic comedy, look no further than "Lost In Translation." If you want something more serious, watch "The Notebook" instead. But if you haven't already seen either of these films, make sure you do before seeing this one, which will be released theatrically soon. It's worth waiting for!<br /><br />My vote is eight stars. <br /><br />(PS- I'm sorry if this review sounds too much like another reviewer's opinion...it wasn't.)<br /><br />~Mia<br /><br />7/20/05 ~Toronto, Canada	I saw this film opening night at the Sundance Film Festival. I was so impressed with it that I bought a copy and watched it again on DVD later that year. It is one of my favorite films, even though it's been out for years now.<br /><br />The story concerns two young people who are both in love but can't seem to find each other because they live too far apart. One day, while driving through the desert, they meet up and decide to go camping together. They end up staying there for several days before deciding to move away from each other forever. The movie ends when their lives change drastically as they begin to realize how much they care about each other and what has become important to them over time. This is an incredibly moving film, especially if you're not used to seeing such beautiful cinematography or acting performances like those seen here.<br /><br />It also features some great music by David Byrne (of Talking Heads fame) and John Cale, which adds another layer of depth to the film. Overall, it's a very powerful film that will leave you thinking long after its conclusion. Highly recommended! 8/10 stars! *** out of . * out of **. out of **. <br /><br />* out of **. ***** out of . ****** out of . ******** out of . ********* out of . ********** out of . *********** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ****** out of . ********	I saw this film opening night at the Toronto Film Festival. It was a real surprise to see such an incredible performance by David Duchovny, who is one of my favorite actors and I have seen him in many films over the years.<br /><br />The story revolves around a young boy named Justin (Duchovny) who has been sent away from his family for some reason or another. He spends time with a group of other kids that are all very different than he is but they end up being friends when their lives intersect again.<br /><br />This movie really shows how much talent there is out there - especially among Canadian filmmakers. This may be a little too light on its own terms as it's not exactly a dark comedy like "Sleepy Hollow" or "Bend It Like Beckham", nor does it go down so easily into the mainstream category like "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon".<br /><br />It also doesn't quite fit neatly within any genre either. While it certainly isn't heavy-handed action/adventure/thriller, it definitely takes place outside those categories. And while it probably won't appeal to everyone, if you're looking for something truly original then don't miss it! <br /><br />If you haven't already, check it out! You'll thank me later!<br /><br />(1/2 stars)<br /><br />Rating: 4/5 Stars<br /><br />SPOILERS AHEAD<br /><br />Spoilers follow...<br /><br />David Duchovny plays Justin, a lonely kid whose life changes after meeting a bunch of other kids who live next door. They become good friends and soon find themselves having fun together because they share similar interests. But things get complicated when Justin meets a mysterious girl called Claire (played beautifully by Emily Watson), who seems to know more about Justin's past than anyone else does.<br /><br />While watching this film, I kept thinking back to the first time I had ever watched "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" and thought it might just be me; maybe someone could relate to what happened here? Well, no matter where you stand on whether you think this is a great movie or not, I can assure you that you will come home feeling inspired and ready to take your own journey through life! The characters are well-developed and believable, the plot twists are cleverly done without making them seem contrived, and the cinematography is stunning throughout the entire film.

I saw this at the premiere in Melbourne<br /><br />It is shallow, two-dimensional, unaffecting and, hard to believe given the subject matter, boring. The actors are passable, but they didn't have much to work with given the very plodding and unimpressive script. For those who might have worried that Ned Kelly would be over-intellectualised, you can take comfort in the fact that this telling of the story is utterly without any literary depth at all, told entirely on the surface and full of central casting standards. However, it doesn't work as a popcorn film either. Its pacing is too off-kilter and its craft is too lacking to satisfy even on the level of a mundane actioner.<br /><br />I very much doubt Gregor Jordan could sit back and say to himself "this is the best I could have done with the material".<br /><br />Ned Kelly is a fascinating figure, and equally so is the national response to him. Possibly folk genius, possibly class warrior, possibly psychopath and probably all these things, he has dominated Australian true mythology for over 120 years. Once again, his story has failed miserably on the big screen.<br /><br />Such is life.	0neg	I saw this at the	I saw this at the Toronto International Film Festival. I was really surprised by how good it was, and even more so after seeing the trailer for it.<br /><br />The film is about a group of young people who are trying to get into college in New York City. They're not very smart or talented but they want to go because their parents don't have much money and they've been told that going to college will change your life forever (and you know what? It does).<br /><br />They make friends with some other kids from different backgrounds: one has an IQ of 120, another has a brain tumor, etc... The movie shows them all through the process of getting accepted into colleges, which makes me think that maybe there's something wrong with my understanding of intelligence tests. <br /><br />But anyway, if you like movies where everyone just randomly meets up and falls out of love over stupid things, then this might be right up your alley! This isn't meant as a criticism on the quality of the actors - in fact, most of them look pretty great! But I can only imagine that if someone made this movie today, they'd probably use a lot less talent than these kids did here!<br /><br />Overall, though, it wasn't bad at all; actually, it had its moments. If you liked "Mystery Science Theater" or "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", you'll definitely enjoy this. And if you haven't seen any of those before, you should check 'em out first. :) I also loved the ending, although I didn't quite understand why it happened. Maybe next time, when I'm watching it again, I'll figure it out! ;) Anyway, I would recommend "New Yorker" to anyone interested in intelligent comedy without having too many words spoken during a scene. You won't regret it! 7/10<br /><br />(Note: I watched this recently in the UK, so please excuse the language!) 8/10 (out of 10) (review edited slightly)<br /><br /> Spoilers <br /><br />* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *	I saw this at the Toronto International Film Festival and I was blown away. It's a great movie, with some of the best acting in recent memory from both Michael Caine and Anthony Hopkins (who plays an actor who has been cast to play one of his characters). The story is about a young man named John who lives on a small island off the coast of England where he works as a sailor for a ship that transports people between London and Scotland.<br /><br />John meets a beautiful girl called Kate, played by Eileen Atkins, whom he falls in love with but can't seem to get close enough to her because she doesn't want him around. She does have feelings for another guy, played by Hugh Dancy, who also happens to be working on the same boat. But when they are all together, it seems like nothing really changes; there isn't any real connection or chemistry between them. <br /><br />The film then takes place over several years after the events described above. We see how things change during these years: John moves into a new house which looks just like the old one, only smaller and more cramped. He becomes friends with a group of sailors who live nearby. They become good friends and work together on their construction project while trying to keep up appearances.<br /><br />As time goes by, however, Kate starts falling for someone else - a woman played by Anna Friel - and John begins to fall even deeper in love with Kate than before. This leads to a series of unexpected twists and turns throughout the course of the film, culminating in a very satisfying ending.<br /><br />This is definitely worth watching if you're looking for something different and interesting.

I have to say that it was a very good film, but not as well done as some of the other films in the festival.<br /><br />The story is about an old man who lives alone and his grandson wants him to take care of his house so he can live there for free forever. The movie shows how they try to find out why he doesn't want to do that...<br /><br />It's also interesting because you see what happens when people are trying to get rid of their own family members or friends from your life: They start looking for them on social media websites like Facebook, etc..etc.<br /><br />This is one of those movies where you don't know if everything will turn out right or wrong; sometimes things just go wrong and then something unexpected happens which makes everyone happy.<br /><br />There were many funny moments throughout the whole movie (especially with the ending). There wasn't much plot though, except maybe the end of the movie. But still, it had its charm! <br /><br />Overall, it was really nice to watch a different type of movie than most mainstream Hollywood movies nowadays. It has more of a European feel to it compared to American ones. And the acting was pretty good too!<br /><br />If you're into these kind of movies, check this one out! :) 10/10<br /><br />(and sorry for my English) - Miki Kusakabe<br /><br />PS: If anyone knows any good places to buy DVDs of Canadian indie films? I'm interested in seeing more of them! Thanks!!! ;) PS2: This review may contain spoilers :D -MikkoKsUkka_2007-03-19T20:46:58Z	I saw this at the Toronto International Film Festival and was very impressed with it. I'm not a big fan of horror movies, but when I heard that they were making another one based on the same premise as "The Blair Witch Project" (which is also pretty good), I thought to myself: why not? This movie has potential! The story isn't too bad; there are some interesting characters who have their own motives for what's going on in the film.<br /><br />What really sets this apart from other films like "Blair Witch", however, is how well executed it is. It doesn't try to be scary or suspenseful - instead it focuses more on character development than anything else. And while most horror movies tend to focus mostly on the killer, here we see several different killers trying to get away with killing people without being caught by the police.<br /><br />This is an excellent example of how you can make a great movie out of something so simple and mundane as a murder mystery. It shows just how much talent and creativity can go into creating a truly compelling thriller. If only all these talented filmmakers would take note of this gem...<br /><br />(PS: if you're wondering about the name of the killer - he/she turns up later in the movie.)<br /><br />4/10<br /><br />* Spoilers * <br /><br />- 2/5: The plot seems weak and predictable. There aren't many twists and surprises throughout the entire movie. You know exactly where things will end before they even begin. Also, the ending feels rushed and forced.<br /><br />- 3/5: Some nice performances by the cast. They give good chemistry between each other and work together effectively towards the climax of the movie.<br /><br />- 4/5: A solid script and decent acting keep the viewer interested until the final showdown. While the pacing may seem slow at times, it never becomes tiresome.<br /><br />- 5/5: Everything works perfectly together. The actors do a fantastic job portraying their characters accurately and convincingly. The direction is tight and effective. The cinematography is beautiful and adds to the overall atmosphere of the movie. The music fits seamlessly into the scene and enhances the mood and tone of the whole thing. Overall, everything comes together beautifully. The tension builds steadily through the course of the movie, culminating in a satisfying conclusion. All in all, a perfect crime drama that keeps its audience guessing right till the end	0.5	0.5	0.499991	0.500009
Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous Australian outlaw and legend. Sort of like Robin Hood, with a mix of Billy the Kid, Australians love the legend of how he stood up against the English aristocratic oppression, and united the lower classes to change Australia forever. The fact that the lower classes of the time were around 70% immigrant criminals seems to be casually skimmed around by this film. Indeed, quite a few so called `facts' in this film are, on reflection, a tad dubious.<br /><br />I suppose the suspicions should have been aroused when, in the opening credits, it was claimed that this film is based upon the book, `Our Sunshine'. If ever a romanticized version of truth could be seen in a name for a book, there it was. This wasn't going to be a historical epic, but just an adaptation of one of many dubious legends of Ned Kelly, albeit a harsh and sporadically brutal version.<br /><br />Unfortunately, Ned Kelly is nothing more than an overblown Hallmark channel `real life historical drama' wannabe! The story plods along at an alarming rate (alarming because never has a film plodded so slowly!) The feeling of numbness after the two hours of pure drivel brought back memories of Costner's awful Wyatt Earp all those years ago. Simply put, nothing happens in the film, but it takes a long time getting to that nothing. This would possibly have been a tad more bearable if the performances were good (because the direction sure as heck wasn't). However, unless you are looking to play a game of spot the worst Oirish accent, then you're gonna be disappointed. Between that, the game of `Who has the stupidest beard?', `Spot the obvious backstabber!' (clue, they are all ginger for some reason), and `Nature in Australia.including lions', it is an experience similar to flicking through Hallmark, The History Channel, Discovery Channel, and Neighbours whilst suffering a huge hangover. Yup, nature pops up a lot, as to fill even more time (possibly an attempt to look arty), the film keeps showing pointless wildlife shots, and once all the native species are shown, here's a circus to allow for a camel and a lion (which is used during one fight to try to make us actually feel more sorry for the lion than the massacred people).<br /><br />This is a turgid, emotionless piece of historical fluff which should have gone straight to TV. There isn't even one good word I can say about this film. Even the usually fantastic Rush seems embarrassed to be here. When one of the characters comments that there is only 2 bullets left for him and his pal, I myself was wishing I had a gun to blow any memory of this film out of my head!	0neg	Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous	Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous outlaw, is now a prisoner in Ireland. He has been sent to be tortured by his former friend and fellow criminal, John McGraw (Dillon). Ned's only solace comes from his love for a young girl named Lizzie (Morgan) who he meets at an Irish pub.<br /><br />This film was made on a shoestring budget of $100,000 but it still manages to capture the essence of life as depicted during the 20th century. The cinematography is superb with some beautiful shots of Dublin. The acting is top notch especially Ledger as the tough convict Ned Kelly. Dillon also does a good job portraying the hardened gangster John McGraw. Morgan plays her role well without being overbearing or annoying. This is one of those films that you can watch several times just because it captures so much about what life must have been like back then.<br /><br />The story itself is very simple yet effective. It shows how hard life could really get if you are not careful. There were no guns, drugs or violence present in this movie which makes it even more realistic. I would recommend watching this film once simply because of its simplicity. If you want to see something different than most movies these days check out "A Beautiful Mind" directed by Stanley Kubrick. You will find a lot more depth here compared to other Hollywood blockbusters. <br /><br />I give this film two thumbs up! It should definitely make your list of all time favorite films. Enjoy! :)<br /><br />(Note: I am NOT affiliated with any company involved in making this film.)<br /><br />Rating: */5 Stars<br /><br />/10 Stars<br /><br />***/10 Stars	Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous outlaw, is in a remote mountain village where he lives with his wife and son. He has been living there for 5 years now because of an accident that killed his father some time ago.<br /><br />The film begins by showing Ned's family life as well as his childhood when they were young. The movie then shifts to the present day where we see how Ned became famous after killing two men who tried to rob him one night while on holiday. It also shows how he got involved in politics which led to his involvement with the Irish Republican Army during World War I.<br /><br />In this part of the story, Ned becomes very popular among the local population but it soon gets out of hand when he starts attacking people who don't like what he stands for. This leads to his arrest and trial by court martial. In the end, he is acquitted and released from prison.<br /><br />This is not just another boring war drama about a man being sent into battle against all odds only to lose everything along the way. There are many other aspects of the story such as Ned's love affair with a woman named Mary (Dunne) whom he met at the start of the film. They fall deeply in love together but their relationship is complicated due to her parents' objections since she was born female. However, Ned eventually finds happiness with Mary despite the opposition of both his mother and his own father.<br /><br />There are several good performances throughout the film including those of Dunne, Ledger, O'Hara and McShane. Also worth mentioning are the supporting roles played by John Gielgud, Hugh Dancy and Peter Boyle. Overall, this is a great film noir thriller set in Ireland. It will be hard to find any faults with it except perhaps the fact that it doesn't go anywhere near the depth of its predecessor "A Man Called Sledge".<br /><br />8/10 - A must-see! <br /><br />(DVD: 2-disc set; Region 4 release)	Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous Irishman who escaped from Ireland's penal colony in 1845, is a man of great courage and integrity. He has been on the run for over two decades now after being captured by British authorities.<br /><br />The film starts with Ned Kelly arriving at Dublin Airport to board his flight back home to Australia where he was born. The plane lands safely but before it departs, an armed guard stands outside the gate to check if there are any passengers inside. When Ned takes off into the air, the guards follow him down the runway towards the airport terminal. They shoot out some kind of explosive device that explodes when Ned flies through the sky, killing all those around him. Ned then crashes the plane, which hits the ground hard enough to kill anyone nearby. <br /><br />After this event, Ned becomes known as "The Man From Nowhere" because no one knows where or why he came from. His story begins to be told again in 2006 when journalist Michael O'Leary interviews Ned about how he became famous. It turns out that Ned had been living in New York City since he was just five years old and had become very popular among children while playing games such as hide-and-seek. One day, however, Ned ran away from home and started running across America looking for work. After several days of wandering, he found himself near a railroad track and decided to try hitchhiking. As luck would have it, he ended up meeting a young woman named Mary Magdalene. She offered to take him along on her trip so they could meet people like themselves. This encounter led to their friendship and eventually marriage; she gave birth to their son John Charles Kennedy. In addition to working as a reporter, Ned also worked as a musician and played various instruments including guitar, banjo, fiddle, whistle, flute, harp, violin, accordion, piano, trombone, trumpet, saxophone, bassoon, drums, cornet, ukulele, etc...<br /><br />In 1973, Ned Kelly died during a train robbery in Australia. During the trial, prosecutors claimed that Ned did not know what he was doing until he saw the bullet coming toward him. However, Ned said that he knew exactly what he was doing: stealing trains! At the time of his death, Ned was still alive and well despite having suffered many injuries during the attack. Despite this fact, Ned was awarded $1 million dollars by the Australian government for his services to	Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous Irishman who set out to kill a British soldier in 1845, is finally getting his revenge. But he's not alone: there are two other men with him on their journey; one of them is an American named John Smith (Barnard). Ned has been following these two guys for some time now and they're always looking for something else.<br /><br />The story itself isn't too bad but it just doesn't have much going for it. The film starts off well enough with Ned being chased by Smith but then things start falling apart as we learn that both men aren't exactly what they seem to be. They're all lying about everything from where they came from to how they got into this mess. And when Ned finds out why they've gone along with such sick plans I was left wondering if it had anything to do with the fact that they were after Smith? It didn't really make any sense at all! <br /><br />In addition to having no plot or character development whatsoever you also get the feeling that this movie wasn't made for anyone under the age of twelve because the violence seems pretty graphic throughout most of the film. Some scenes even involve shooting people through glass windows! This type of thing should never be used in movies nowadays but unfortunately it did happen here. There weren't many good moments either though. For example there's a scene near the end where Ned goes overboard trying to save Smith's life and ends up killing someone before dying himself. If only the director could have done better than that!<br /><br />Overall, I'm surprised that this film hasn't gotten more attention since its release back in 2006. The acting is OK although the performances don't stand out above average. However, the direction and cinematography are very poor and the special effects look like they were shot using a cheap video camera. Overall, this is a forgettable piece of crap that will probably go straight to DVD unless somebody wants to buy it outright. Stick to watching "A Nightmare On Elm Street" instead. You'll thank me later. * out of **<br /><br />Title(USA): "Ned Kelly" / "Kelly" / "Ned Kelly - A New Dawn" / "Ned Kelly" / "Ned Kelly: Killers of the Republic" / "Ned Kelly: The Legend Remains" / "Ned Kelly: The Legend Continues" / "Ned Kelly: A New Era" / "Ned Kelly: Revenge	0.500005	0.499995	0.729907	0.270093
They constructed this one as a kind of fantasy Man From Snowy River meets Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid, and just for a romantic touch Ned and Joe get to play away with high class talent, the bored young wives of wealthy older men. OK, there are lots of myths about Ned Kelly, but there are also a lot of well documented facts, still leaving space for artistic creativity in producing a good historical dramaticisation. I mean, this is not the Robin Hood story, not the Arthurian legends, not Beowulf, not someone whose life is so shrouded in the mists of many many centuries past that any recreation of their life and times is 99% guesswork. It's only a couple of lifetimes ago. My own grandparents were already of school age when Ned was hanged. <br /><br />So it's silly me for fancifully imagining this movie was a serious attempt to tell the Kelly story. Having recently read Peter Carey's excellent novel "The True History of the Kelly Gang" I had eagerly anticipated that this would be in similar vein. But no, the fact is that Mick Jagger's much derided 1970 Kelly was probably far closer to reality, and a better movie overall, which isn't saying a whole lot for it.<br /><br />Glad it only cost me two bucks to hire the DVD! I'll give it 3/10, and that's only because some of the nice shots of the Australian bush make me feel generous.	0neg	They constructed this one as	They constructed this one as a "family" film, but it's not. It is an adult movie for adults who are looking to see what they can do with their time and money.<br /><br />The story is about two brothers (John Cusack & John Ritter) who have been separated since the death of their father (Burt Reynolds). The brother that has never seen his dad before goes back home after 10 years hoping he will come out of retirement and help him run things around the farm where they grew up. He meets a young woman named Kate Beckinsale (who plays his sister), whom he falls in love with, but she doesn't want anything more than friendship from her new boyfriend.<br /><br />This was a very good family film which had some great moments throughout. I think the best part came when the boys were talking to each other on the phone while driving down the road. They both said something like "I'm glad we're together again." This scene made me cry because it showed how much they loved being reunited at last! <br /><br />There wasn't too many laughs or jokes here either. But there were plenty of funny scenes involving the animals on the farm. There was also a nice twist ending. You'll know exactly why the guys went back to town once you watch the final scene.<br /><br />Overall, this was a fun family film. If your kids would enjoy watching it then go ahead and rent it. Otherwise, skip it. It may be worth renting if you plan on seeing all of John Cusacks films...but don't expect them to be any better. That's just my opinion though. Enjoy! :)<br /><br />(Note: I saw this film at the Toronto International Film Festival.)<br /><br />Rating: ***/* (out of stars)<br /><br />* Out Of *** Stars Rating : -*/* (out of ** stars)	They constructed this one as a "dark comedy" and it is not. It's just another boring, predictable film about two people who are in love with each other but can't get together because of their differences.<br /><br />The acting was good enough to make the movie worth watching for that reason alone (the only thing I didn't like about it). The story wasn't too bad either; maybe if they had made it more interesting or funny than what it ended up being...<br /><br />I don't know how many times you have seen a romantic comedy where the main characters fall in love with someone else? Well, here we go again! This time around, they find out later on that their relationship has been ruined by their own insecurities. They both feel guilty over the fact that they couldn't be happy without each other.<br /><br />This is an average film - nothing special at all really. But hey - there were some pretty decent actors involved so why wouldn't it work?<br /><br />So watch it anyway if you want to see something different from your typical romantic comedies. If you're looking for a serious drama, skip this one. Otherwise, give it a chance. You'll probably enjoy it :) 6/10<br /><br />Rating: * out of * <br /><br />* = Excellent **= Good = Average *= Needs Improvement ********** = Worst Rating	They constructed this one as a "family" film. It's not really about the family, it is about the people who are in the movie.<br /><br />The plot of the movie is that two brothers (one played by Danny Glover and the other by Kevin Kline) go to see their parents for Christmas. The father has just died, but his mother still lives with him on her own. He doesn't want them there anymore because he feels like she can be more active than they both could possibly be together. So they decide to take off for Florida where they will spend some time with each other again.<br /><br />This was an interesting concept, I thought it would have been great if it had worked out better or at least had less conflict between the characters. But unfortunately, we get nothing from either character except for the fact that they don't care what happens to anyone else. And even when they do make decisions, you know right away whether they're going to end up being wrong or right.<br /><br />I think the real problem here is how they manage to keep trying to convince us that these guys aren't all bad. They seem so good looking and nice, yet they act like complete idiots most of the time. You feel sorry for them sometimes too. <br /><br />It's also hard to believe that someone could actually fall in love with such a person. This guy seems to be completely oblivious to everything around him. Even though he loves his mom and dad dearly, and wants to stay close to them forever, he does things like leave his sister alone while he goes to Florida. How can you say anything positive about that? Of course, after seeing this movie, you'll probably start thinking that maybe that's why he fell in love with her - because she made him forget he loved his wife. That's pretty sad, considering how much he cares about her.<br /><br />If you liked this movie, then you might enjoy another one called "Sister Act II". Both movies were very funny and entertaining, but "Sister Act 2" wasn't nearly as good as its predecessor. If you enjoyed this movie, then you may also enjoy "Beverly Hills Cop III", which is basically a remake of "Beverly Hills Cop".<br /><br />(Note: I am aware that this review contains spoilers.)<br /><br />Rating: 4/10<br /><br />-Renee D'Angelo	They constructed this one as a big budget, Hollywood movie. It is not.<br /><br />The film has no plot or characters and it's just plain boring. The acting is poor (except for the two main female leads) and there are very few scenes that make you laugh out loud. There is nothing to recommend this film at all! I would never rent it again...<br /><br />I have always thought of "Caddyshack" as being better than this film but now I know why. This film is so bad that even my 10 year old son couldn't sit through it without laughing hysterically. He was completely bored throughout the entire thing. If only he had known what his dad was doing in this film before watching him...he might have been able to keep up with the jokes. <br /><br />If you want to see some serious comedy then check out "Caddyshack". Otherwise skip this piece of crap. You won't be disappointed. I give it an overall rating of 2/10. I'm sorry, but if your kids watch this they will probably get sick from laughter. They'll also likely become addicted to watching comedies like this because they're too young to understand how awful they really ARE. And don't expect any good humor either - trust me on this one!<br /><br />My advice: Don't waste your time renting or buying this garbage. Skip it. Go ahead and buy Caddyshack. That way you can enjoy yourself while still having fun. Or go back and watch it over and over until you forget about it altogether.

This is a far cry from Butch Cassidy, which actually WAS an entertaining film. This was trite, cliche-ridden and boring. We only stayed because we were convinced it would get better. It didn't.<br /><br />The last 10-15 minutes or so were unintentionally hilarious. Heath and his gang are holed up in a frontier hotel, and women and children are dying because of their presence. That's not funny. But it was funny when they walked out of the hotel with the armor on, because all we could think of was the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I kept waiting for them to say "I'll bite yer leg off!" We were howling with laughter, as were several other warped members of the audience. When we left, pretty much everyone was talking about what a waste of time this film was.<br /><br />I may not have paid cash to see this disaster (sneak preview), but it certainly wasn't free.

It is a 1980's remake of "The Incredible Shrinking Man" and it was made in 2005, so there are no actors or actresses that can act like they did back then.<br /><br />I am not sure if this film had any money behind it but it looks as though it didn't. The only thing that kept me watching for more than five minutes at a time were the two girls who played the twins. They looked very young when they appeared on screen. <br /><br />There are some good effects (the one with the giant spider) but nothing special about them. There is also an interesting scene where the boys' mother gets into her car and drives off without saying anything. She does say something later however which makes you wonder how she would react if someone said "You're going to die!"<br /><br />If you want to see a great action flick check out "Fight Club". If you want to see a really bad action flick watch "A Fistful Of Dollars", "The Terminator", "Blade Runner", or even "The Matrix Reloaded". This is just plain awful!

And lastly, we get to see a boy grow into a man after going through puberty. But wait...there's still more! There's a lot of sex scenes throughout the whole movie which makes it even less enjoyable.

He obviously doesn't care whether or not the victim died. Or maybe he does. Either way, the rest of us can safely say this isn't worth renting. Just skip it and move on to something else.

This one should've been banned by the government years ago...but now we can't watch it without getting sick with laughter from all the horrible jokes!<br /><br />The only reason why I give this film 1 star instead of zero stars is because I think it might actually make you laugh once (and if you do then go ahead and rent it). Otherwise, don't waste your time at all. You'll probably feel better afterwards than when you started watching it anyway. <br /><br />If you're looking for something good to see, avoid this one completely. If you want to see some truly awful crap, try "Raising Victor Vargas". That will definitely leave more laughs than any other movie I know of.

If the term itself were not geographically and semantically meaningless, one might well refer to "Ned Kelly" as an "Australian Western." For the people Down Under, Ned Kelly was, apparently, a folk hero bandit akin to Robin Hood, Jesse James, Bonnie and Clyde, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The descendant of Irish immigrants, Kelly became a fugitive and an outlaw after he was falsely accused of shooting an Australian law officer, a crime for which his equally innocent mother was put into prison. To get back at the government for this mistreatment, Kelly, his brother Dan, and two other companions, became notorious bank robbers, winning over the hearts of many people in the countryside while striking a blow for justice in a land where Irish immigrants were often treated with disrespect and disdain by those who ran the country.<br /><br />Perhaps because we've encountered this "gentleman bandit" scenario so many times in the past, "Ned Kelly" feels awfully familiar and unoriginal as it pays homage to any number of the genre's stereotypes and clichés on its way to the inevitable showdown. Ned is the typical heart-of-gold lawbreaker who kills only when he is forced to and, even then, only with the deepest regret. He also has the pulse of the common folk, as when, in the middle of a bank robbery, he returns a valuable watch to one of the customers, after one of his gang has so inconsiderately pilfered it. What movie on this particular subject hasn't featured a scene like that? It's acts of selective generosity like this, of course, that earn him the love and respect of all the little people who come to secretly admire anyone who can get away with sticking it to the powers-that-be and the status quo. Geoffrey Rush plays the typical bedeviled law enforcer who feels a personal stake in bringing down this upstart troublemaker who keeps getting away with tweaking the establishment. There's even the inevitable episode in which one of the ladies being held up goes into the next room and has sex with one of the robbers, so turned on is she by the romantic derring-do of the criminal lifestyle. And the film is riddled with one hackneyed scene like this after another.<br /><br />Heath Ledger fails to distinguish himself in the title role, providing little in the way of substance to make his character either interesting or engaging. It doesn't help that he has been forced to provide a droning voice-over narration that underlines the sanctimoniousness and pretentiousness of both the character and the film.<br /><br />"Ned Kelly" might serve a function of sorts as a lesson in Australian history, but as an entertainment, it's just the same old story told with different accents.	0neg	If the term itself were	If the term itself were to be used, it would probably mean that this film is a "comedy" of sorts. This isn't really a comedy in any sense. It's more like an action movie with some humor thrown into it here and there.<br /><br />The plot revolves around two guys who are working as security guards at a local casino (the title says so). One guy has been fired from his job for stealing money while he was on duty. The other one gets hired because they need someone to take care of their house when the owner goes away on business.<br /><br />This leads them to get involved in a robbery attempt by a gang of thugs. They have to fend off several attempts against them before getting out alive.<br /><br />There aren't many laughs or jokes in this movie but you can still laugh if you're not too picky about what kind of movies you want to see. There are also plenty of good fight scenes which makes up for most of the bad acting.<br /><br />Overall I'd say this is a decent movie worth watching once in awhile. If you're looking for something completely different than your typical Hollywood fare then don't bother. But if you do happen upon it just enjoy it anyway. You won't regret it! 7/10<br /><br />Title: The Money Heist Movie <br /><br />(DVD) <br /><br />Director: John Ritter <br /><br />Writer(s): John Ritter, Michael Korie <br /><br />Stars: David Boreanaz, Kevin Sorbo, James D'Arcy, Christopher Lloyd, Richard Jenkins, Danny Masterson, Brian Dennehy, Thomas Ian Griffiths, Jon Voight, Sam Waterston, Jennifer Tilly, Lili Taylor, Robert Englund, Jonathan Groff, Tony Danza, Jeffrey Combs, Adam West, Anthony Edwards, William Forsythe, Ray Liotta, Jeff Fahey, Paul Reiser, Peter Boyle, Tom Berenger, Jason London, Ed O'Neill, Scott Wilson, Patrick Warburton, Mark Pellegrino, Ben Kingsley, Chris Sarandon, Ron Livingston, Judd Hirsch, Eric Roberts, Mandy Patinkin, Matthew Modine, Timothy Spall, Billy Connolly, Stephen Dorf, Jeremy Sisto, Nick Nolte, Donald Sutherland, Bruce Greenwood, Steve Buscemi, Franka Potente, Tim Blake Nelson, Kate Capshaw, John Lithgow, Melinda Dillon,	If the term itself were to be used, it would imply that this is a film about an American family. It's not.<br /><br />It was written by and directed by two Americans (one of whom has also been in charge of the production) who are both from New York City; they obviously have no idea what their audience might think or feel about such things as "American" culture, nor do they understand how the movie could possibly appeal to any sort of American public at all.<br /><br />The story concerns a young couple (the husband played by John Cusack, with his usual charm), who move into a house on Long Island where they find out that there isn't much room for them since most people living here don't speak English very well. They become friends with another couple, one of whom speaks little more than English but seems quite friendly.<br /><br />But even though these characters seem like good folk, we soon learn that they're just trying to make ends meet: The wife works as a secretary while her husband runs a small business selling books. She never really gets along with him because he doesn't talk enough English, which makes her frustrated when she can't get anything done around town.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the other man lives alone in a tiny apartment building with his wife and daughter. He does manage to communicate with some regulars of the area through the telephone, but only occasionally.<br /><br />This situation becomes increasingly complicated after the wife discovers that her husband has had an affair with someone else. This leads to a series of events involving alcoholism, drug use, and violence.<br /><br />Cusack plays the role perfectly - I found myself rooting for him throughout the whole thing. And so did everyone else watching this film. But then again, you wouldn't expect me to say otherwise.<br /><br />I'm sure many viewers will enjoy this film if they keep in mind its rather low-key nature. If you want something high-brow, go see "A Beautiful Mind." That film tells the story of a brilliant mathematician whose life takes a turn for the worse due to mental illness. You'll probably end up wishing your own life turned out differently, too. <br /><br />In short, avoid this movie unless you happen to know somebody who lives in a neighborhood full of nice-looking folks who live off the street. Otherwise, stay away! 8/10<br /><br />Title (Brazil): "O Senhor de Minas" ("Mr. Mine	If the term itself were to be used, this film would have been called "The Movie That Never Was". The plot is so basic and predictable that it's hard not to get bored after a few minutes.<br /><br />I'm going to say something about the acting. I've seen better performances in movies like "Bend It Like Beckham" or "A Beautiful Mind", but here they are just bad enough for me to give them only 2 stars out of ten. <br /><br />And then there's the script. I don't know what the director was thinking when he decided to write such an awful screenplay. He must have had some sort of mental disorder because his characters never seem to think anything through before starting their dialogues; they're either talking about how much money they make from their jobs (or lack thereof) or how good they look on camera with no explanation as to why they do these things at all. And even if you can figure out who does which one later, it doesn't really matter anyway since most people will forget within seconds whether they did it during commercials or while shooting scenes.<br /><br />So basically, this movie isn't worth your time unless you want to see someone else act badly. If you're looking for a truly terrible movie, go watch "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon"<br /><br />(PS: This review contains spoilers.)<br /><br />Rating: 1/10<br /><br />-SPOILER ALERT -<br /><br />This movie has nothing to offer except for cheap laughs. Avoid! <br /><br />3/5 Stars out of 4. Rated PG-13 by Rotten Tomatoes. http://www.ratings.com/Ratings.php?TitleId=7896&Genreid=10503&type=movie&MovieID=10503&rating=3.14. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053166/.http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/show/10503/credits. http://www.thehollywoodcritic.com/reviews/10503. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/director-says-poor-movie-has-no-humor-review-by-johnny-doe-10503.html. http://www.cinemagoer.net/Movies/Review.aspx?id=10503. http://www.kinesialibrary.com/books	If the term itself were used to describe this movie, it would be a misnomer. The title is not even remotely related to the plot of the film.<br /><br />The story revolves around an old man who has been living in his own little world for years now and he's trying to come out of it by writing poetry that will inspire others. He also tries to write a book about how to live your life well but fails miserably because there are no good books on this subject. In fact, all he can think of is how to make money off people's lives so he goes from job-to-job looking for work where he'll do something useful with his time. One day while walking down the street he meets up with a young woman named Sarah (played by Kate Beckinsale)who happens to have just finished her first year at college. She tells him she wants to go back to school after graduation and asks if he'd like to take her along. When they get into town they find themselves surrounded by a bunch of weirdos and soon enough they're being stalked by them as well. It turns out these guys want to kill their professor who was once married to one of the women in the group.<br /><br />This movie isn't exactly bad; I mean, it does have some decent moments here and there. But what really makes this movie worth watching is the acting. There aren't many actors in Hollywood today who could pull off such roles without any problem whatsoever. And when you look at the cast list alone, you can see why: none of them are known names yet they've managed to deliver solid performances throughout the entire movie. This includes Kate Beckinsale who plays the role of Sarah brilliantly. Her performance is flawless and she manages to bring a lot more than just charm to the character. Also, Tom Savini gives us another great performance as the guy who works for the professor whom we later learn is actually dead. His character is very creepy and scary and he should definitely be given credit for doing such a fantastic job.<br /><br />However, despite its impressive performances, the script is pretty weak. While it doesn't seem to be written by anyone familiar with literature or psychology, it seems to lack any depth either. For example, most of the characters don't show much emotion except for maybe a few brief moments during which they try to express their feelings towards each other. Their interactions between each other are mostly awkward and predictable. On top of that, the dialogue is often too clichéd and overused. Even	0.730689	0.269311	0.271912	0.728088
This movie was so unrelentingly bad, I could hardly believe I was watching it. The directing, editing, production, and script all seemed as though they had been done by junior high school students who don't know all that much about movies. There was no narrative flow that made any sort of sense. Big emotional moments and climaxes (like one early on between Heath Ledger and Naomi Watts) and character relationships (like one hinted at at the very beginning) come completely out of no where and are not set up like they would have been in a more elegantly and effectively made film. The characters are sadly underdeveloped, making it difficult for us to have any sort of connection with them. The acting, surprisingly, is not entirely bad, but the terrible writing cancels out the relatively convincing performances. The film plays like a particularly bad T.V. western/epic, and sadly diminishes the fascinating (true) story that it attempts to tell. I have read a lot of reviews that defend the film as being important to Australians because of the subject matter. That's all very well, but just because Ned Kelly is an important Australian historical icon DOESN'T MAKE THE MOVIE GOOD. No one is saying that the subject matter isn't good, just the quality of the movie itself. Pearl Harbor was about a very important historical event to Americans, but that doesn't mean I'm going to defend the movie and say it was good, because it was still bad. A failure all around, though Heath and Orlando are lovely to look at.	0neg	This movie was so unrelentingly	This movie was so unrelentingly bad that I actually had to turn it off. The plot is a little too simple for my tastes, and the acting isn't even good enough to make me care about any of these characters.<br /><br />The only redeeming quality in this film is the fact that there are some pretty cool-looking women on screen (including one who looks like she's been shot).<br /><br />I'm not sure if it was because they were all trying hard or just being stupid but I found myself wishing they would stop filming at 10:35pm every night...and then sitting through another hour of stupidity until it ended. It wasn't much longer than that though! <br /><br />(And yes, I did watch an extra.)<br /><br />'Screwed up' is probably the best way to describe this film - you can see why people don't really want to waste their time watching it either. If you're looking for something with lots of action go look elsewhere. This is definitely NOT worth your time. Don't bother seeing it unless you have nothing better to do. You'll be glad you didn't spend $2.96 to rent it instead of buying it from Amazon.com. That's how cheaply made this thing is. And what kind of money? A couple bucks. What else could you expect?<br /><br />If you love cheesy horror movies, check out 'Shocker', which also has some great gore scenes. But if you enjoy dumb, pointless, horrible films like this one, avoid it at all costs. Just don't buy it either. There will always be someone out there willing to pay more than $4.98 dollars to get a copy of this garbage. So please save yourself the trouble by avoiding this piece of crap. Even if it does end up getting burned onto DVD someday, you won't regret wasting your time renting this worthless piece of trash again. Trust me. Go ahead, burn it. Save yourself the hassle.<br /><br />Avoid at all cost. Do yourself a favor and skip this piece of junk. You'll thank me later. Oh yeah, and when you finally find it lying around somewhere, take a picture of it before you throw it away. Then use it as evidence against those who try to sell it to you. Or maybe you should just leave it alone since no one wants to hear anything negative about it anyway. It sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it? Well, let's hope nobody ever finds	This movie was so unrelentingly bad that I could not watch it any longer. The acting, the direction and the script were all abysmal.<br /><br />The plot is a bit of an oddity as well: a man who has been in prison for 15 years gets released after serving time on parole to find out what happened to his wife (who he had left behind) when she went back into town with her new husband. He then starts to investigate why they never met up again before their divorce. It's like some sort of "Lost" episode except this one doesn't have the same charm or mystery attached to it. <br /><br />I'm sure there are better movies made about this subject but I just couldn't get past how much this film sucked! This is probably one of those films where you can tell that someone else wrote the screenplay because every single line makes no sense at all. For example, if we're talking about the first scene...<br /><br />A guy walks down the street carrying a bag full of drugs. A cop stops him and asks him questions. Then he says something along these lines:<br /><br />"You know, my daughter used to live here." And then proceeds to walk off without saying anything more.<br /><br />And now we see a woman walking by and suddenly she turns around and goes straight to the police station. She even looks scared and nervous. But instead of asking any questions, she simply walks right over and sits down next to the cop.<br /><br />It seems that this whole thing was written by somebody who didn't really care about making a good movie. They obviously wanted to make money off of this idea since they spent $20 million dollars on production costs which means that most people will be paying to rent this movie from Blockbuster. If you want to check out this piece of garbage, go ahead and buy it from Amazon.com or Ebay. You'll feel better afterwards. Trust me, your brain won't thank you later. sigh Oh yeah, and don't bother buying tickets to see this movie either. That would only serve to further prove that this is a waste of time. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Just stay away from this movie. There isn't enough room in the world for another 3 hours of wasted time. Go figure. <br /><br />If you do decide to rent this movie, please take note that it contains several scenes involving nudity. Not recommended unless you've seen a lot of pornographic	This movie was so unrelentingly bad, I had to watch it in 2 parts. The first part is the best and lasts a little over an hour. It's about a woman who has been kidnapped by aliens from another planet. She escapes but they have her taken away as well. They take her into their spaceship where she gets tortured for information on how to escape.<br /><br />The second half of this film is just plain awful. There are some decent scenes here and there, but most of them seem like filler. The plot is weak and the acting is terrible. If you want to see a good sci-fi horror flick then go with the first one. Otherwise skip this one because it will not make any difference at all. This is really bad! Avoid it if possible. (1/5) <br /><br />I've seen better movies than this one. Not even "Alien" can compare to this garbage. Don't waste your time or money. Go back to watching "Starship Troopers".<br /><br />(edited after viewing comments)	This movie was so unrelentingly bad that I had to watch it again. It's a shame, because there are some good things about this one.<br /><br />The plot is weak and the characters are not very interesting (especially the main character). The acting is terrible - especially from the lead actress who has no talent at all! And then you have the fact that the director seems to be trying too hard to make something out of nothing. He tries to use the story as an excuse for his own career ambitions but fails miserably in doing so. This film should never get released on video or DVD unless someone really wants to see how awful they can be!<br /><br />I'm sorry, but if you want a decent horror flick with some nice gore and blood splatter, check "Cult of the Vampire" instead. That one will give you more than enough entertainment value without being boringly predictable like this one. If you're looking for anything else though... well, stay away from this one - you'll regret it! 1/10<br /><br />PS: Don't even bother watching it online; just download it straight from the VHS store when it comes out next month! <br /><br />(And yes, I know this may seem harsh, but don't blame me!)<br /><br />3 comments: That is probably my worst experience ever. I rented it thinking it would be OK since its cult status and such. But after viewing it I think I've seen worse movies. The only thing redeeming about this movie were the few scenes where people actually died. There wasn't any nudity or sex involved which made it much better. However, the ending was horrible and ruined everything. Also, the script seemed to come together pretty quickly. Maybe I missed something important during filming? Anyway, I gave up halfway through the movie and decided to rent another Cult of the Vampire. Now I feel cheated. :( 2/10 You got it right, 4/10. :) 5/10	0.500001	0.499999	0.500001	0.499999
This movie never made it to theaters in our area, so when it became available on DVD I was one of the first to rent it. For once, I should listened to the critics and passed on this one.<br /><br />Despite the excellent line up of actors the movie was very disappointing. I can see now why it went straight to video. <br /><br />I had thought that with Bloom, Ledger, and Rush it could have some value. All have done wonderful work in the past. <br /><br />The movie was slow moving and never pulled me in. I failed to develop much empathy for the characters and had to fight the urge to fast-forward just to get to the end. <br /><br />I do not recommend this film even if you are thinking of renting it for only for 'eye candy' purposes. It won't satisfy even that.	0neg	This movie never made it	This movie never made it to the big screen. The only reason I remember this film is because of a friend who was in high school at the time and he told me about it.<br /><br />The story centers around two young boys, one named Ben (played by James Garner) who has been adopted from an orphanage when he was 10 years old and another boy called "Bobby" played by Richard Widmark. They are both sent off on their own adventure after being separated for some unknown reason. Their journey takes them through many different countries including China where they meet a Chinese woman named Wang (Chiu Wai-Wing).<br /><br />I don't know why people like this film so much but if you're into action movies or martial arts films then you'll love this flick! It's not as good as other Hong Kong actioner movies such as "Return To Shaolin", but it does have its moments. <br /><br />James Garner plays his part very well and even though there aren't any great performances from anyone else, it doesn't matter since we can all see how talented these guys really are. Richard Widmark also gives us another excellent performance here too as Bobby. He looks amazing in every scene he appears in!<br /><br />Overall, this is a fun little action comedy that will keep your interest throughout the whole thing. If you want to watch something similar to "Fight Club" check out "Gangster Squad".<br /><br />(Rating: **/ /**)<br /><br />DVD Extras:<br /><br />A deleted scene with no dialogue<br /><br />An alternate ending which includes more scenes unrelated to the main plot line<br /><br />Three bonus featurettes - one featuring interviews with Garner and Widmark; another featuring commentary by director Wong Jing and another featuring interviews with cinematographer John Farrell and composer Jacky Cheung<br /><br />Review Summary: 7/10 Stars Out Of *****	This movie never made it to the theaters. I saw this film in 1984 and was very disappointed with how poorly it was done, especially considering that the cast included some of my favorite actors from the late '60's (Dennis Hopper, John Forsythe). The plot is so weak that you can't even care about anyone except for a few people who are involved in the story.<br /><br />The acting by all these stars is terrible, but they try their best. Dennis Hopper does an OK job as a man whose wife has been killed by his ex-wife. He also plays the part well enough to be funny at times. But he seems like one half of a joke here rather than being fully invested in the role. <br /><br />John Forsythe appears pretty good too, although he doesn't seem to have any chemistry with anybody else on screen. His character is not really developed until the end when we see him trying to get away from the police force. It would've been nice if the writers had given us more depth into him before turning him into a bad guy. That way we could have seen what happened to him after the events depicted in the movie.<br /><br />I don't know why there were such high expectations for this film because it just didn't live up to them. This movie should be remembered only for its poor production values and lackluster performances. If you want to watch a low budget horror flick then go ahead - but do yourself a favor and avoid watching anything directed by David Lynch or Quentin Tarantino. They're both great directors and often make better movies than this one. And while I'm sure many fans will enjoy this movie, please keep your eyes open for other lesser known films out there! There are plenty of gems waiting to be discovered! :)<br /><br />(Note: I am NOT affiliated with the producers of this film.)<br /><br />3/5 Stars Out Of ***. 2/5 Stars Out Of . 1/5 Stars Out Of . 0/5 Stars Out Of . 0/5 Stars Out Of.<br /><br />Rating: ******* <br /><br />.**..**.***.*******	This movie never made it to the theaters. I was a teenager in 1973 and this is one of my favorite movies. It's not as good today, but back then it was great! The story line is very simple: A man who has been married for many years gets his wife out of bed by using her own body instead of having sex with her. He goes on a trip where he meets an old friend (who looks like a young Richard Pryor) and they go into another room together without him realizing that she is there.<br /><br />The acting is excellent - especially from the two leads. There are some wonderful scenes involving a woman being raped while wearing only panties or nothing at all. This film also features a couple of memorable songs sung by both actors. "I Got Rhythm" is particularly nice because you can hear the sound of your own heart beating when you sing it.

Anyway, after all those killings, our heroes finally make it through the jungle without any problems. Then suddenly, the evil guy comes back and kills everyone again, including the hero himself. Of course, he gets away unharmed. So my question remains: Why does the hero keep getting hurt?<br /><br />Also, why can't the villain just die right now instead of killing everybody over again? Couldn't he just go home and take his own life? Or perhaps, he might as well leave us hanging until the end credits roll.<br /><br />Anyway, the last scene is pretty cool too. We get to see the hero and heroine kissing each other while being chased down by the evil guy. Wow, that was quite a surprise.

I thought this was a very clunky, uninvolving version of a famous Australian story. Heath Ledger and Orlando Bloom were very good in their roles, and gave their characters some personality; but the whole thing felt forced and mechanical.<br /><br />The beginning could have been a lot more involving; perhaps starting with a shootout, and then flashing back for a recap of how they got there or that sort of thing. And I felt like every scene was routinely predictable and signposted, like a very bad tv soap.<br /><br />I was really looking forward to this movie, and hoping for something a lot better. The only thing I can say in its favour is that it beats the Mick Jagger version, but not by much.	0neg	I thought this was a	I thought this was a great movie.

The other actors also do a fantastic job too.<br /><br />It really makes me think about my life now since I am 15 years old and still don't know how lucky I am. This movie made me realize just how precious our time on Earth can be and how important we should live each moment to its fullest. I hope more movies like this come out soon!<br /><br />My vote is nine :)<br /><br />(PS: I'm not sure if there is any way to rate this movie higher than 9.) <br /><br />Thanks again to everyone involved!!!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Jenny<br /><br />Thank You For Watching!!<br /><br />[email protected]	0.499992	0.500008	0.499999	0.500001
Ned aKelly is such an important story to Australians but this movie is awful. It's an Australian story yet it seems like it was set in America. Also Ned was an Australian yet he has an Irish accent...it is the worst film I have seen in a long time	0neg	Ned aKelly is such an	Ned aKelly is such an awesome movie. I was in the theater and it was so much fun to watch this film, especially when you have your family with you.<br /><br />The story of Ned Kelly's life is very interesting because he lived during times that were extremely difficult for many people at the time. He had no money or property but his love for country gave him strength and courage to fight against injustice.<br /><br />I think everyone should see this movie if they can find it on DVD. It has some great music as well which adds to the overall feeling of excitement about this historical figure. The acting by all involved is excellent too. <br /><br />If you are looking for something entertaining then go ahead and rent this movie! You will be glad you did!<br /><br />(This review contains spoilers)	Ned aKelly is such an amazing movie. It's the best thing that has happened to me in years! I have seen it 4 times now and every time i watch it, my eyes start watering up with tears of joy.<br /><br />I love this movie because it shows you how important family can be for everyone, especially when they are going through hard times like Ned Kelly did. The way he was treated by his friends and relatives at first were so cruel but then changed into loving ones who showed him their true feelings about him. And most importantly, he had a strong willpower not to give up on himself or anyone else even if things got really tough. He never gave up no matter what, which made me feel proud of myself as well as all those people who helped him get out of prison.<br /><br />The story is also very touching and sad too. You see Ned trying to find his father again after being separated from him forever during World War II. But he still managed to go back home one day only to meet his old friend and brother-in-law who tried to kill him once more. This film teaches us that sometimes we need to forgive ourselves and others just because something bad happens to us. Sometimes we should try to forget our mistakes instead of letting them haunt us forever. We shouldn't let anything ruin our lives completely. <br /><br />This movie reminds me of another great movie called "A Beautiful Mind". In both movies, the main characters struggle against the odds and come out stronger than before. They show us that there is always hope in life despite everything that may happen to us. That's why I think these two films are similar enough to make you want to buy it yourself. If you don't believe me, check it out!<br /><br />If you haven't watched this movie yet, please do. Trust me, you won't regret it. You'll learn some valuable lessons along the way. Enjoy watching it!! :)<br /><br />(PS: My dad bought it for me last week) <br /><br />10/10<br /><br />-Kathryn (USA)<br /><br />Thanks for reading...<br /><br />~Kathryn ~	Ned aKelly is such an amazing movie. I have seen it twice now and love every minute of it! The acting was great, the story line was perfect for this film to be made in 1984. It's not only about how Kelly got his job but also what he went through on the way there.<br /><br />I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys movies with a lot of action or suspense. This movie will make you laugh out loud at times as well as cry when needed. You'll want to watch it again after watching it first time because it keeps getting better each time. If you like the idea that people can get their jobs by going to school then this could be your ticket into becoming one yourself. <br /><br />The ending is just so sweet and heartwarming. I hope they do another movie based off Ned A.Kelly. He has done more than enough films already!<br /><br />If you haven't watched this movie yet don't let me tell you, go see it right away!! You won't regret it!!!<br /><br />(PS: I am from Canada) :) Thanks for reading my review...and thanks for all comments too!)<br /><br />~Sara (Canada)	Ned aKelly is such an amazing movie. I love the way it shows how people can change for the better and that there are good people out there who help others, even when they don't know them.<br /><br />It's about two brothers who move to New York City from Texas after their father dies in a car accident. They have different jobs but both of them want to make it big in life. Ned wants to be a professional boxer while Kelly wants to become a famous singer. But he has no idea what his talents will do for him or if he'll ever get any success at all.<br /><br />The film starts with Ned as a young man living on the streets of New York. He works in restaurants and sells drugs. When he meets Kelly, she helps him find work by selling her clothes. She also gives him lessons to learn boxing skills so he won't end up like her dad. The two men start working together and soon they fall in love. However, things aren't going well between them because Kelly doesn't think Ned would ever give up his drug habit. It seems like everything goes against them until one day, Ned wins a fight against a rival promoter (played brilliantly by Robert Loggia) which makes Kelly realize just how much he needs Ned. Then, Kelly decides to take Ned back home and eventually becomes a successful singer. <br /><br />This is a great story about friendship, family values, and true love. This isn't your typical Hollywood type movie where you see some bad guys getting away with something horrible because they're rich and powerful. In this movie, we see characters who go through hard times and still keep each other close despite all odds. And the fact that these stories happen outside of Hollywood movies only adds to its depth and realism. This is a very touching and heartwarming movie worth watching over and over again!<br /><br />I highly recommend "Ned & Kelly" to anyone looking for a moving and uplifting movie! You'll definitely feel inspired and uplifted too :)<br /><br />(Note: Spoilers ahead!)<br /><br />10/10<br /><br />-Sara K. - 27 years old, University student studying English Literature at NYU.

From the very beginning, the political theme of this film is so obvious and heavy handed, that the outcome is entirely predictable. Any good textbook on writing screenplays will advise layering of characters, incorporating character arcs, and three act structure. In this film you will find none of that. The police are the baddies, and consequently are shown as shallow, incompetent and cowards. It never seems to occur to the makers of this film that police might be honourable citizens who see joining the police as a good way to contribute to the wellbeing of society.<br /><br />The viewer gets no opportunity to make up his or her mind on whether Ned Kelly is a good guy or a ruthless villain. The film opens with him being arrested for stealing a horse, but we get no clue as to his guilt or innocence. We see him walk through the door of a gaol, but only know that he has been inside for three years when we hear this much later in some dialogue.<br /><br />This film contains many shots of Ned looking at the camera with a serious expression. I found the film a real chore to watch. It is the direction for modern films, and this one put me off watching any more.	0neg	From the very beginning, the	From the very beginning, the story is a bit of a mess. The plot is so convoluted that it's hard to follow what happens and why people are doing things in this movie.<br /><br />The characters aren't really developed enough for me either. I can see how they're supposed to be likeable but I just couldn't care less about any one of them. <br /><br />I'm not sure if it was the acting or the script itself, but there were times when I had trouble following along with the dialogue. It seemed as though every line was spoken by someone else who wasn't speaking from their own point of view.<br /><br />Overall, I found myself wishing that the director would have taken some time off and made something more interesting than this film. This could've been an excellent horror flick! 2/10<br /><br />* out of (out of *** stars) - 45 minutes long! sigh<br /><br />(spoilers ahead)<br /><br /> Spoiler Alert <br /><br />In a small town called "Columbus", Ohio, two young men named John and Joe go into a bar on Halloween night. After being attacked by a maniac wearing a mask, both boys flee the scene only to find themselves pursued by another masked killer.<br /><br />John and Joe run across a woman named Lisa, whom they later learn has escaped from a mental institution where she was held after her husband murdered her family members. She offers to help them escape back home because she knows they'll never get away without her assistance.<br /><br />Lisa then takes them to a secluded cabin in the woods which she claims will protect them while they make their way through the woods looking for supplies.<br /><br />As you might guess, the rest of the movie is up to your imagination...<br /><br />This movie isn't my favorite horror movie, but it does contain some pretty scary moments. There are definitely plenty of scares throughout the entire movie, including a particularly effective jump scare at the end. However, the pacing is slow and the ending doesn't quite work out well for me. Overall, I'd say this movie is worth watching once, maybe twice, but don't expect much beyond that. If anything, this movie may actually be better left alone until it gets released on DVD someday!<br /><br />*** Out of * Stars * SPOILER ALERT ***<br /><br />If you enjoyed this film, please give	From the very beginning, the story of this film is a disaster. The acting was terrible and I couldn't believe that such an intelligent actor could be so stupid as to play in such a poorly written movie.<br /><br />The plot is just plain bad. There are no twists or surprises at all. It's like watching someone read out lines from a script without any thought given for how they would sound (or even look).<br /><br />I'm not sure why anyone would want to see this movie but it does seem to have some kind of cult following amongst people who love to watch movies with no storyline whatsoever. If you're one of those people then please don't waste your time on this piece of crap! <br /><br />My advice: Don't bother wasting your money on this movie. You'll probably regret it when you find yourself sitting there wondering what happened next...and if you do end up seeing it will most likely be because you were invited by a friend to sit down and watch something "interesting".<br /><br />If you really must see this movie then go ahead and rent it. But only if you can afford it. Otherwise avoid it completely. 1/2 stars = worst rating possible. And I give it a 3 star rating simply because the actors did their best despite being unable to act properly. They tried hard enough though. <br /><br />(And yes, I know that the title sounds ridiculous - but hey, sometimes things get better after a while!)<br /><br />PS: This review contains spoilers. Just skip right through them unless you absolutely HAVE to see this movie. ;) PS2: Sorry about my grammar, English isn't my first language. :P PS3: Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention that the director himself plays in this movie too!! He looks exactly like he does in his own films! So much for realism!<br /><br />PS4: Also, I've seen other reviews here which say that this movie has been banned in several countries around the world. Well, I guess we should take their word for it since I haven't heard anything else said about it outside of the comments section of IMDb yet...but anyway, keep in mind that these reviews may contain inaccuracies due to me having never actually watched the movie myself. :) PS5: Oh well, maybe it won't matter now that I've mentioned it somewhere else.<br /><br />Thanks for reading. Bye-bye! :-)<br /><br />08-27-	From the very beginning, the film is a mess. The plot of the movie doesn't make sense and there are so many inconsistencies in it that you can hardly believe what's happening on screen.<br /><br />The acting isn't bad but they're not great either. There aren't any memorable characters or interesting stories to be found here. And if you don't like this kind of movies then I'm sorry for your opinion because I've seen worse ones than this one.<br /><br />I think the only thing worth watching here is the "special effects" which were pretty good considering how cheaply made the movie was. But even those special effects didn't save the whole movie from being a total disaster.<br /><br />It's just plain awful! Don't waste time with this one...you'll regret it when you see it again after 20 years! <br /><br />(Also note: If you watch the trailer at the end of the movie (which has nothing to do with the actual movie) you will notice some people have their faces covered up by masks.)<br /><br />3/10<br /><br />-Ricky -	From the very beginning, the movie is a mess. The acting is terrible and there are no surprises in this film.<br /><br />The plot is predictable and boring. There's nothing new here to see or do. It doesn't even have any humor at all. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be funny but that would've been too obvious for me.<br /><br />I don't know why people liked this movie so much. This is one of those movies where you can tell they were just trying to make money off of an already popular series. They should really try something different next time. Maybe they could make a horror flick with some good actors who aren't afraid to show their nudity? Or maybe they could actually write a story instead of making up crap like "the evil scientist" and "the zombie." That way we wouldn't have to watch them waste our time on these stupid little things called'movies.' <br /><br />It's sad when someone makes a bad movie because then they get more exposure than anyone else ever will. But hey, what can I say...<br /><br />(Note: Spoilers) If you're looking for a great horror flick (or comedy), check out "House Of 100 Corpses". You'll find better stuff! :)	0.500008	0.499992	0.500001	0.499999
I guess I was attracted to this film both because of the sound of the story and the leading actor, so I gave it a chance, from director Gregor Jordan (Buffalo Soldiers). Basically Ned Kelly (Heath Ledger) is set up by the police, especially Superintendent Francis Hare (Geoffrey Rush), he is forced to go on the run forming a gang and go against them to clear his own and his family's names. That's really all I can say about the story, as I wasn't paying the fullest attention to be honest. Also starring Orlando Bloom as Joseph Byrne, Naomi Watts as Julia Cook, Laurence Kinlan as Dan Kelly, Philip Barantini as Steve Hart, Joel Edgerton as Aaron Sherritt, Kiri Paramore as Constable Fitzpatrick, Kerry Condon as Kate Kelly, Emily Browning as Grace Kelly and Rachel Griffiths as Susan Scott. Ledger makes a pretty good performance, for what it's worth, and the film does have it's eye-catching moments, particularly with a gun battle towards the end, but I can't say I enjoyed it as I didn't look at it all. Okay!	0neg	I guess I was attracted	I guess I was attracted to this movie because of the fact that it is a remake. But then again, if you are not familiar with the original film and want something different, well...you'll be disappointed.<br /><br />The story revolves around an old man who has been living in his house for over 10 years now. He's got two daughters (who have never met each other), one son-in-law (he doesn't know him at all)and another daughter-in-law. The first time he meets her, she tells him about how they were married before their divorce. She says that when they were young, there was no money or anything like that. So instead of having sex, they would just sit on the couch together watching TV and talking about things. They had kids too but they didn't get along very well since they both thought they should do everything themselves. After so many years, they decided to marry and start a family.<br /><br />Then we see them meet up once more after 25 years. This time, the husband is still alive and working as a salesman while his wife is getting divorced from her ex-husband. When they finally meet up, they find out that they're actually related by bloodline! And what does that mean? Well, let me tell ya....they can't even touch each other without hurting each other!<br /><br />This is where the fun part comes into play. It's funny stuff. There are lots of scenes involving violence and gore. Also, some parts of the movie are quite graphic. If you don't mind such things, go ahead. You won't regret it. <br /><br />So basically, if you love remakes, you will enjoy this movie. But if you hate remakes, stay away. Or better yet, skip it altogether. At least, you will save yourself $4.99. :)<br /><br />(Note: Spoilers...)<br /><br />Rating: */*<br /><br />- Very Good - Excellent<br /><br />*- Great - Wonderful<br /><br />- Pretty Good - Watchable<br /><br />*- Poorly Done - Terrible<br /><br />*****- Horribly Bad - Awful<br /><br />***- AWFUL ***- Total Abomination!!!<br /><br />If you haven't seen the original "Braveheart" (which is also pretty good), check this one out. It may take awhile to catch up	I guess I was attracted to the film because of its title. The premise is interesting, and it's a great idea for an independent movie.<br /><br />Unfortunately, this isn't one of those movies that you can easily forget about after watching it once or twice. It takes itself too seriously in every way possible. For example: when the lead character (the "hero") tells his girlfriend he wants her dead, she asks him why? He says "Because she killed my father." That's not funny at all! And then there are some other scenes where they try to make us feel sorry for them by showing their pain and suffering - but we don't get any insight into what really happened.<br /><br />The acting is okay, though, with some good performances from the two leads. But overall, it just doesn't work as well as it could have been made if it had been more realistic. If only the director would take responsibility for directing himself instead of relying on actors who aren't very talented. <br /><br />Overall, this is a pretty bad movie. Don't waste your time. 3/10<br /><br />Rating: D- out of five stars. <br /><br />* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *	I guess I was attracted to this movie because of the title. It's a very good film, and it is one that has been well received by critics.<br /><br />The plot revolves around an old man who lives in a small town with his wife (who he married when she was 18). He spends most of his time alone at home as he does not have any children or grandchildren. One day while out for a walk, he meets up with some friends from childhood and they decide to go fishing together. The fisherman tells them about a long lost treasure hidden deep inside the mountains nearby where they live. They agree to follow him there but are warned off by their friend before he can even get close enough to see what awaits them on the other side of the mountain.<br /><br />As soon as they arrive at the place, they find themselves surrounded by people who want nothing more than to kill them all. But then something happens and suddenly everything changes! A beautiful woman appears and offers her help and guidance to them both. She also reveals herself to be the treasure hunter himself...<br /><br />This is quite possibly one of the best movies ever made. There are many things going on here: the romance between the two main characters; the mystery surrounding the treasure; the supernatural elements which make the story so intriguing; the final confrontation; the ending; etc. All these aspects come together perfectly to create a truly unique experience. This is definitely worth watching if you're into films like "Chariots of Fire" or "Planet Of The Apes".<br /><br />If you haven't seen this yet, do yourself a favor and give it a chance. You won't regret it!<br /><br />My rating: **/ <br /><br />(Note: I saw this last night during my weekly family viewing session.)<br /><br />Rating: /<br /><br />/<br /><br />/***<br /><br />/*****	I guess I was attracted to the movie because of its title. It is a very good film, but it does not really deserve this name.<br /><br />It's about an old man who has been living in his house for 10 years and he wants to sell it, so that he can buy something new. He sells it to two young men (the main characters) who are looking through all kinds of houses. The story goes on like this until one day they find out that there is no longer any money left in the bank where the old man had put some of it into. They take him away from them with their car, which then breaks down and they have to walk around town trying to get help...<br /><br />The acting in the movie is pretty bad. There isn't much humor or anything interesting going on here. Some scenes look like they were filmed by someone else. Also, you don't see many people walking around the streets at night. This makes me wonder if the director wanted us to think that we're watching a horror movie instead of a comedy.<br /><br />If you want to watch a funny movie without having to pay $4.95 for tickets go rent "Bend It Like Beckham". That may be more entertaining than this crap! <br /><br />(SPOILER WARNING!) If you liked this movie check out "Dumb & Dumber" also starring Jim Carrey.

I don't quite get the rating for The Amati Girls and I think I was REALLY kind giving it a 4 out of 10. What could otherwise have been a wonderful story with actually a set of more or less decent actors became a total farce in my eyes. There are so many clichés in that flick, the women's hair is just awful and most of the scenes are more than unrealistic or seem fake. There's no real passion in this movie but a bunch of actors over-acting over any limits that it hurts. It's not funny enough to be a comedy, it's too fake-sad to really touch, so in my eyes it's just not good. Watching it I couldn't believe how something like that made it to my TV set in my living room in Switzerland. But.. maybe it still was OK and it just got lost in translation? Who knows. Definitely one of the oddest movies I've ever seen and this certainly not in a good way! Sorry.	0neg	I don't quite get the	I don't quite get the hype for this movie. I thought it was a pretty good film, but not as good as "The Big Chill". It's got some great actors and actresses (including Kate Capshaw) who are very likable in their roles.<br /><br />It has an interesting plot line that is somewhat unique to itself. The story revolves around two people from different backgrounds living together on a farm where they share everything with each other. One of them falls in love with another one of them while he is away at college. They both try to find out what happened between them before things become too complicated.<br /><br />This is a fairly well written script which keeps you guessing until the end when all is revealed. There isn't much gore or violence involved so there aren't any scenes that will make your eyes bleed. This is definitely more of a romantic comedy than anything else.<br /><br />If you like movies about rural life then you'll probably enjoy this film. If you're looking for something really special then look elsewhere. <br /><br />My rating: 7/10<br /><br />(spoilers ahead)<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -	I don't quite get the hype.

You won't regret it!<br /><br />(Note: This review contains spoilers.)<br /><br />1/5 stars out of 4<br /><br />Rating: ** <br /><br />* Spoilers *** This movie had potential...but then again, so does every movie made today. There are just way too many people who will never see another "Star Wars" sequel, even if it means seeing a lot less action. And while we know that Luke Skywalker would love to go back to his home planet, he doesn't really seem to care about anything except getting revenge on those who wronged him. He may hate them now, but he'll always remember their names and faces. His only real connection to them is through Princess Leia, whom he loves dearly, but she isn't exactly someone he'd want to kill off. So why should anyone? Why do we need to see him fighting against her? That's where the problem lies. We already know he hates her, and the fact that she's still alive shows how deeply he cares. But why bother killing her?<br /><br />There are several reasons why I didn't enjoy this movie. First of all, the pacing was slow. A lot of the time throughout the movie, things happen slowly; sometimes, they happen fast enough to make up for the lack of speed. For example, when Han Solo first meets Chewbacca, it takes forever before either character gets introduced. Then later, when Jabba the Hut comes into view, we learn nothing new about him until after the credits roll. Also, the ending seemed rushed - it seemed like everything went downhill quickly. In my opinion, the end was unnecessary because it took away any sense of closure. Instead, it left us	I don't quite get the hype. I thought it was a great movie, but then again, that's what movies are all about.<br /><br />The plot is very simple: A man (the main character) who has been working in a factory for 10 years decides to leave and go back home with his wife and kids. He meets up with an old friend of his from college and they decide to start their own business together...<br /><br />It starts off well enough; there's some good acting by everyone involved - especially the young lead actor. But as time goes on things become more complicated than you might think. The story becomes less interesting because we're not really following any characters or trying to figure out why everything happens the way it does. It just seems like one big mess waiting to happen.<br /><br />There were parts where I felt sorry for the guy, but he seemed so helpless and stuck-up at times. There were also moments when I wondered if this was going to be another "Hollywood" film without substance. And even after the first half hour, I still didn't know anything about the ending other than how much money the couple made.<br /><br />If you want to see a movie that will keep your interest throughout, rent "A Beautiful Mind". If you want to watch something that doesn't have a lot of twists and turns, rent "Rush Hour". If you want something that isn't too scary, rent "Fight Club". This is probably the worst movie ever made. Don't waste your time watching it! <br /><br />(Spoilers ahead)<br /><br />Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert *Spoiler Alert	I don't quite get the premise of this film. It's about a man who is in love with his wife but can never have her because she has been married for 20 years and he hasn't yet met someone else. He decides to go on an adventure, meet people, find love...and then it all goes wrong.<br /><br />The problem here is that there are so many stories out there already written about men falling in love or being rejected by women (or vice versa). The main difference between these two films is that "Love Me Tender" focuses more on the romantic side while "A Beautiful Mind" deals with how one person might be able to change another's life forever through their actions. I think both movies deal well enough with the theme of finding true love, but they're not exactly equal parts romance movie.<br /><br />It seems like the director was trying too hard to make something different from what we've seen before. And if you compare them together, you'll see why I didn't really care much at all for either of them. Both were very predictable and boring. In fact, I'm surprised that even though I saw the first part of the film when it came out, I still remember every single word of the second part! <br /><br />So yes, I give "A Beautiful Mind" some credit as a good adaptation of a real-life story, but overall, I found "Love Me Tender" to be far better than most other adaptations. If you want to watch a great romantic comedy, check out "Crazy Heart".<br /><br />4/10 stars - OK rating. Not bad, just okay. But definitely worth watching once. :)	0.502294	0.497706	0.499869	0.500131
This movie was awful. The ending was absolutely horrible. There was no plot to the movie whatsoever. The only thing that was decent about the movie was the acting done by Robert DuVall and James Earl Jones. Their performances were excellent! The only problem was that the movie did not do their acting performances any justice. If the script would have come close to capturing a halfway decent story, it would be worth watching. Instead, Robert DuVall's and James Earl Jones' performances are completely wasted on a god awful storyline...or lack thereof. Not only was I left waiting throughout the movie for something to happen to make the movie....well an actual movie...not just utterless dialog between characters for what ended up being absolutely no reason. It was nothing more than common dialog that would have taken place back in that period of time. There was nothing special about any of the characters. The only thing special was how Robert DuVall portrayed a rambling, senile, drunk, old man. Nothing worthy happens during the entire movie including the end. When the movie ended, I sat amazed...amazed that I sat through the entire movie waiting for something of interest to happen to make watching the movie worth while. It never happened! The cast of characters suddenly started rolling making it apparent that the movie really was over and I realized that I had just wasted 2 hours of my life watching a movie with absolutely no plot and no meaning. It wasn't even a story. The entire movie takes place in a day's worth of time. That's it. It was one day in the life (and death) of some Southerners on a plantation. How much of a story can take place in a single day (other than the movie Training Day)? The acting performances by the entire cast were excellent, but they were grossly wasted on such a disappointment of a movie...if you can even call it a movie.	0neg	This movie was awful.

It's a really bad movie that is not worth watching at all!<br /><br />The only reason I watched this movie was because of the "Hollywood" tag on IMDb (which means it has been rated 10 or more times).<br /><br />If you want to see an action flick with some good actors then watch "Die Hard". If you're looking for something that will make your eyes bleed just do what everyone says - go rent "Doomsday."<br /><br />(Note: if you are going to rent Doomsday please get the DVD version instead of the VHS one.)<br /><br />If you can find it on video rental stores in America then buy it. You'll be glad you did. <br /><br />It's very hard to say whether this movie is better than any other Hollywood production out there but I think it's pretty close. <br /><br />My vote is 3/5 stars.

The acting was terrible, the story line had no plot and it didn't even have a good ending.<br /><br />I don't know what I expected from this film but I still gave it 1 star because there is one thing that made me laugh in the end of the movie: "The guy who played the main character got his arm cut off by someone else." <br /><br />It's not very funny at all. It just reminded me how stupid people are when they act like idiots (like the other reviewers).<br /><br />Don't waste your time on this one!

Just skip it!<br /><br />(And if you're watching this review with subtitles then please translate them into English)	This movie was awful. The acting, the plot and everything about it is terrible.<br /><br />I saw this film when I was 10 years old in a theater with my parents. We were all laughing at every scene we could find! It's so bad that you can't even watch it on DVD anymore because of how badly it looks (and sounds).<br /><br />My advice to anyone who wants to see something good: don't.<br /><br />(And if you want to know what they did wrong...they butchered the script!)<br /><br />It would be better for them to have just left me alone while they went out to eat some pizza...or maybe they should've done more research before making such an idiotic film!!<br /><br />The only thing worth watching here are those scenes where the kids go swimming or play games together. Otherwise, please stay away from this one!<br /><br />If you're looking for a really funny family comedy, check out "Sister Act" instead. If not, then avoid anything involving the word "family." You'll thank me later....(or your mom) :) <br /><br />PS - My favorite line from the movie? "You gotta love these people!" LOL!!!<br /><br />BTW, I think this is probably the worst movie ever made by any director. And I'm sure no one has ever seen a worse movie than this one. This is why movies like "Beverly Hills Cop," "Police Academy," etc., get released as part of their annual box office sales campaign. They make money off of people thinking they will enjoy this garbage.<br /><br />So, next time someone offers you a $5 bill, say thanks and give him/her the change. That way, he/she won't feel cheated.

One of them played the father, but the other played the son. So, there must have been a lot of editing going on behind-the-scenes. But hey, it doesn't matter anyway since the final product isn't very good either.<br /><br />Anyway, do yourselves a favor and skip this one. Don't waste your time, energy and money. Enjoy the rest of your life by doing things you actually LIKE rather than wasting	This movie was awful. The acting, the story and everything else about this film is terrible. I don't know why they even made it to theaters. This should be banned from our country.<br /><br />I can only hope that someone will make a better version of this movie so we won't have to see such horrible movies again! <br /><br />If you want to watch an excellent horror movie, just rent "The Ring". If you want something with some humor in it, then go for "Halloween" or "Friday the 13th Part II: Chapter 2". But if you're looking for something scary...this isn't one of them!<br /><br />(spoilers) <br /><br />A couple of things are funny:<br /><br />-When the guy who played Jason goes into his house and sees the body he's like, "Oh my god!" -Jason says to the girl at the restaurant, "Do you think she'll eat me?" She replies, "No." -When the two girls get ready to leave together, there's a scene where the guys say, "Hey, what do ya mean 'we' got no time left on earth? We gotta run!". And after they've gone, the girls turn around and start laughing hysterically (and that includes the guy).<br /><br />So yeah, not worth watching unless your bored and need a good laugh.

Holy crap. This was the worst film I have seen in a long time. All the performances are fine, but there is no plot. Really! No plot! A bunch of clowns talk about this and that and that's your film. Ug... Robert Duvall's character is senile and keeps asking the same people the same qestions over and over. This earns him the same responses over and over. I am pretty sure this film got upto a six because people think they should like it. Good performances with famous and well regarded actors, but the actual complete work is a steamy turd. Well, maybe that's a bit deceptive since steam rising from a fresh pile sounds a little like something happening and in this film NOTHING HAPPENS! Sack	0neg	Holy crap. This was the	Holy crap. This was the worst movie I've ever seen in my life.<br /><br />I'm not sure if it's because of the acting, or just how bad this film is that I can't even remember what happened to me during this experience...<br /><br />The plot has no redeeming value whatsoever and the characters are so stupid they're laughable. The only thing worth mentioning here is the fact that there were some good actors who played their roles well (and you know those people). But then again, maybe I missed something? <br /><br />This is a terrible waste of time for anyone with any sense of decency at all. If you want to see an awful movie, go ahead - but don't expect anything more than a few laughs from your friends. And if you do happen upon one of these movies, please tell them about it! It would be nice to hear someone else's opinion on such a horrible piece of trash. Then we could have a little debate as to whether it should be banned forever or not!<br /><br />Don't watch this movie unless you really need a way out of boredom. Because you won't find much entertainment in this pile of garbage. Don't bother wasting your precious time watching it either. You'll regret it when you wake up tomorrow morning and realize that you spent 2 hours of your life trying to enjoy this piece of junk. Oh yeah, and you might also end up having nightmares after seeing this movie. That's right; you will.<br /><br />And now I must confess: I actually laughed once while watching this movie. So I guess I did manage to escape from this horrid mess by laughing through it. At least I didn't die :( <br /><br />(Note: I am NOT saying that this movie is great. In fact, I think it's pretty bad.)<br /><br />Oh, and speaking of which, the director had better get his act together before he goes back into Hollywood again. He needs to learn how to direct instead of simply making crappy films like this one.<br /><br />So I hope everyone reading this enjoys themselves immensely and forgets everything else until they finally turn off the TV and crawl under their covers. Or perhaps they'd rather take a nap. Either way, stay away from this moronic piece of junk. There's nothing wrong with being entertained, but this kind of stuff isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Until next time, I say "Stay Away!" :) <br /><br />PS: I	Holy crap. This was the worst movie I've ever seen in my life, and it's not even a comedy.<br /><br />The plot is so unbelievable that you can't believe what happened to those people involved. The acting is terrible (I'm sorry to say this), but there are some good performances from the cast. In fact, they're all great actors: Jack Black as the main character; John Cusack as his father; Michael Keaton as the guy who looks like he just died after being shot dead by an exploding grenade; and Paul Rudd as one of the other guys on the team.<br /><br />But wait! There's more...<br /><br />There is no end to these characters' lives. And then there's the ending which makes no sense whatsoever. It seems to be trying to make us feel bad for the poor characters we see dying at the hands of evil villains. But if you look closely enough, you'll notice that the villain doesn't seem to have any remorse or guilt about killing them. He just wants revenge!<br /><br />And finally, let me tell you something very important:<br /><br />This movie has nothing to do with Batman. Not a single thing. They don't use the word "Batman" once during the entire film. No mention of him anywhere. Not even when he appears in the credits. So please stop making excuses for movies like this. You know how much better Batman comics were back in 1980? Well, now that's history. <br /><br />(PS - If anyone out there thinks that this review might offend someone, please read the disclaimer before reading further.)<br /><br />PS2 - If you want to watch this movie without knowing anything about it beforehand, go ahead. But I would advise against doing so because it will only waste your time and money. Just stay away from this movie unless you really enjoy watching horrible films where everyone dies horribly. Otherwise, avoid it completely. :)<br /><br />PS3 - Don't worry, I won't give away ANYTHING else about this movie. That's why I gave this movie such high marks earlier. However, if you actually wanted to find out MORE information about this movie, you could check out the following sites: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt045766/ http://www.spoiler.net/show.php?id=1128 http://www.the-spoilers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=13	Holy crap. This was the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life, and that is saying something.<br /><br />I am not a big fan of horror movies (unless they are made by people who actually know what they're doing), but this one had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. It's so bad it makes "The Ring" look like a masterpiece. The acting was terrible as well - especially when you consider how awful some of these actors were before their careers started going downhill. But there wasn't much else to do with them anyway...<br /><br />This film could very easily be called "the most boring movie EVER". If you want to see an actual good scary movie try "Scream 2", or even just watch your favorite TV show instead! <br /><br />If you can get through all of this without getting sick of it, then you must really love yourself because you've got nothing better to do than sit back and watch this piece of trash. Please don't waste any more time on this thing; if you do, you will regret it for years to come. And no, I'm not joking around here either!<br /><br />(And yes, I did read reviews about this being a great movie, which would explain why I didn't give it five stars.)<br /><br />5/10<br /><br />PS: What happened to the guy? Why does he keep coming up with new ideas every year?! He should retire after this mess!!<br /><br />7 out of 10<br /><br />PS2: Oh yeah, and please don't let anyone tell you that this isn't supposed to be funny at all. That's just plain stupid. I swear, I think it might make funnier if they took away the jokes and left only the gore. Then again, maybe that's too obvious...<br /><br />8 out of 10<br /><br />PS3: Hey, hey, hey, I forgot to mention that the girl has a crush on her father AND she doesn't care! She thinks his family is cool because he likes him and everything, yet she still loves her dad despite his constant insults towards her. Just another example of how dumb Hollywood can be sometimes. :(<br /><br />9 out of 10<br /><br />PS4: Yeah, right. This movie sucks so hard that it hurts. Seriously. You'll laugh until your sides hurt laughing at it. And seriously	Holy crap. This was the worst movie I've ever seen in my life.<br /><br />The acting is atrocious, and it's not even funny at times (the "bitch" scene). The plot is so convoluted that you can't figure out what will happen next. And then there are all those gratuitous sex scenes...<br /><br />I'm surprised this one made more than 10 million dollars on DVD sales alone! It should have been a big box office flop like "Scream". <br /><br />This film has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. If you're looking for something to watch with your friends, don't bother. You'll probably be disappointed by this flick. Not worth watching if you haven't already watched "Halloween", or any of the other slasher films from the early '90s. Avoid at all costs!<br /><br />Don't waste your time or money on this one. Don't buy it either. Just put it somewhere where nobody else knows about it. That way when they find it, they won't know who did it. They may think it's some kind of cult classic, but it ain't. Go ahead and throw away this piece of garbage. There's nothing left after you do that though.<br /><br />Avoid this one at all cost. Save yourself $5.87. Oh yeah, and save yourselves the embarrassment of having to explain why we didn't see anything scary until AFTER seeing this thing. We were just too busy laughing our asses off. Haha<br /><br />My advice: DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE OR ANY OTHER SPOILERS HERE ON THE WEBSITE!!!<br /><br />(Also, check out my review of "Scream II").<br /><br />PS - Please note that I am NOT affiliated with the makers of this film or anyone involved with its production. My only motive here is to warn others against wasting their time and money on this trashy pile of filth.

SWING! is an important film because it's one of the remaining Black-produced and acted films from the 1930s. Many of these films have simply deteriorated so badly that they are unwatchable, but this one is in fairly good shape. It's also a nice chance to see many of the talented Black performers of the period just after the heyday of the old Cotton Club--a time all but forgotten today.<br /><br />Unfortunately, while the film is historically important and has some lovely performances, it's also a mess. The main plot is very similar to the Hollywood musicals of the era--including a prima donna who is going to ruin the show and the surprise unknown who appears from no where to save the day. However, the writing is just god-awful and a bit trashy at times--and projects images of Black America that some might find a bit demeaning. This is because before the plot really gets going, you are treated to a no-account bum who lives off his hard working wife (a popular stereotype of the time) and when he is caught with a hussy (who, by the way, totally overplays this role), they have a fight which looks like a scene from WWE Smackdown! And, the one lady wants to cut the other lady with a straight razor--a trashy scene indeed! Later in the film, when the prima donna is behaving abominably, her husband punches her in the face and everyone applauds him! It seems like the film, at times, wants to appeal to the lowest common denominator in the audience PLUS they can't even do this well--with some of the worst acting I've seen in a very long time.<br /><br />Still, if you can look past a lousy production in just about every way (with trashy characters, bad acting and direction and poor writing), this one might be worth a peek so you can see excellent singing and tap dancing--as well as to catch a glimpse of forgotten Black culture. Just don't say I didn't warn you about the acting--it's really, really bad!	0neg	SWING! is an important film	SWING! is an important film. It's a very good movie, and it has some great performances from the cast.<br /><br />The story of this film centers on two young women who are both in love with their best friend. The friendship between these girls is one that will be tested by many things: jealousy, betrayal, and even death. These characters have to deal with all kinds of problems as they try to work through their feelings for each other.<br /><br />This film does not shy away from dealing with serious issues such as suicide, incestuous relationships, rape, and murder. This film also deals with themes like self-esteem, bullying, and acceptance. All of these topics are dealt with well here.<br /><br />In addition to being a really interesting film, Swing! shows how strong friendships can withstand difficult situations. I think that most people would agree that friends should always stand together no matter what happens. In fact, if you're going to lose someone close to you, then your best bet is to make sure that you keep those closest to you in mind during times when you need them the most. If you want to know more about swing culture or any type of cultural background, check out the website http://www.swingculture.com/. You'll find plenty of information there. Also, don't forget to watch the documentary "Swing!"<br /><br />If you enjoyed this film, please let me know so that we can continue our conversation!

It's the story of two children, one boy and one girl, whose lives are changed forever by their encounter with each other.<br /><br />The first half hour or so shows us how the boys' father died when they were very young; we learn that his mother was married to another man (the father had never met her). The second part takes place in 1953 as the family moves from London to America, where the older son works at a factory. When he gets home after work on Sunday evening, he finds out that his wife has left him because she can't bear having any more children.<br /><br />This movie also tells about the relationship between the girls' parents, which seems strange but it makes sense if you think back to the times in which this took place. There isn't much sex involved here - only once does there seem to be some sexual tension between them - I'm not sure what kind though. But even then, it doesn't really matter since the plot focuses entirely around these two children.<br /><br />I don't want to give too much away, but swing is a wonderful little film worth seeing again and again. It will make your heart beat faster than usual whenever you watch it. If you're looking for something different, try watching THE WIZARD OF OZ instead. They both deal with families dealing with loss and change, just in slightly different ways. Both films have great performances by the actors, especially Judy Garland. She gives such a warm performance as always. And Tom Tyler plays the role of Mr. Blandings wonderfully well. He's a charming character, like all the others in the film. His singing adds greatly to the mood of the film. <br /><br />If you haven't seen this before, go see it now. You won't regret it. Enjoy yourself! :)<br /><br />(PS: This review contains spoilers.)<br /><br />Thanks for reading! :-)<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~	SWING! is an important film, and it's a good one. It has some great performances from the cast (including the wonderful Meryl Streep), but I think that this movie could have been better made.<br /><br />The story of how swing music became popular in America isn't as interesting to me as other movies about it are; however, there was no real reason for people not to be interested in this topic because they were so fascinated by the idea of what would happen if someone had invented something like this back then. The way that this film deals with this subject is very well done: you see the history of swing music being written down on paper, and you also get to know more about its creators than most people will ever learn about them. This makes the movie even more fascinating!<br /><br />I don't want to give away too much information here...but let me just say that while I'm sure many people enjoyed this movie, I didn't find myself laughing out loud or getting emotional at all during any part of it. That might seem strange, since I am usually quite sensitive when watching films. But I found that this movie wasn't really funny enough to make up my mind whether I liked it or not. Maybe it was because I hadn't seen anything else like it before? Or maybe I just couldn't sit through a lot of it?<br /><br />Overall, though, Swing! is definitely worth seeing. If only we'd known what happened 10 years later, instead of waiting until 25 years after the fact to discover that things weren't exactly what they seemed, we wouldn't have missed such a beautiful and moving piece of art. <br /><br />(This review may contain spoilers)<br /><br />4/10<br /><br />--Sally	SWING! is an important film for all the right reasons. It's a great example of how to make a movie that has no plot, and yet still manages to be entertaining.<br /><br />The story itself isn't much of anything - it just happens in a very simple way. The characters are not complex or well-developed; they're simply there as background elements.<br /><br />But what makes this movie so good is its ability to keep you interested throughout the entire duration of the movie. There's nothing about this movie that seems rushed, nor does it feel like it was made on a shoestring budget (which I suspect would have been required).<br /><br />It's also worth noting that while some might say that the acting is wooden and unconvincing, this doesn't detract from the overall quality of the film at all. In fact, it adds to the realism of the situation by making us believe that these people really exist. And when we do see their faces, our sympathies with them grow stronger every time we look away.<br /><br />Finally, let me mention one thing that may surprise many viewers: the music used here is quite effective. While most movies use sound effects more than any other element, swing music can add something extra to a scene. This particular song is particularly memorable because it reminds me of my own childhood years where I always enjoyed listening to "Swinging" whenever I could find myself playing around outside.<br /><br />All things considered, Swing! deserves a place among the greatest films ever created. If you haven't seen it already, then go out and rent it now. You won't regret it. 10/10. <br /><br />(This review contains spoilers)	0.499995	0.500005	0.499995	0.500005
There's not a drop of sunshine in "The Sunshine Boys", which makes the title of this alleged comedy Neil Simon's sole ironic moment. Simon, who adapted the script from his play (which goes uncredited), equates old age with irrational behavior--and, worse, clumsy, galumphing, mean-spirited irrational behavior. Walter Matthau is merciless on us playing an aged vaudeville performer talked into reuniting with former comedy partner George Burns for a television special (it's said they were a team for 43 years, which begs the question "how long did vaudeville last, anyway?"). Burns, who won a Supporting Oscar, has the misfortune of coming to the film some thirty minutes in, after which time Matthau has already blasted the material to hell and back. The noisier the movie gets, the less tolerable and watchable it is. Director Herbert Ross only did solid work when he wasn't coupled with one of Neil Simon's screenplays; here, Ross sets up gags like a thudding amateur, hammering away at belligerent routines which fail to pay off (such as semi-incoherent Matthau showing up at a mechanic's garage to audition for a TV commercial). At this point, Matthau was still too young for this role, and he over-compensates by slouching and hollering. It was up to Ross and Simon to tone down the character, to nuance his temperament to give "The Sunshine Boys" some sunniness, yet Walter continues to project as if we'd all gone deaf. The picture looks terribly drab and crawls along at a spiritless pace; one loses hope for it early on. 1/2 from ***	0neg	There's not a drop of	There's not a drop of blood in this movie. It is an excuse to show the actors and actresses doing their best with what they have.<br /><br />The acting was pretty good, but that doesn't mean it works as well as you would expect from such a low budget film. The plot could've been better written if there wasn't so much dialogue involved.<br /><br />It has some decent effects (the explosion) which were used very effectively for its time, although I don't think they should be called explosions any more than they are now. <br /><br />I'm sure some people will love this movie because it shows how bad Hollywood can get when it comes down to making movies on a tight budget - or even worse, when it tries too hard to do something special just to make money off it! This isn't one of those films where you're left wondering why anyone would want to see them again after seeing them once...<br /><br />This is definitely worth watching though if your bored at home and need something entertaining to watch. Just remember: Don't buy it unless you really like cheap horror flicks. Otherwise, skip it!<br /><br />4/10<br /><br />-Dylan	There's not a drop of blood in this movie. It is just an excuse to show the worst parts of the film industry, and it makes me feel sorry for all those people who are making movies like this.<br /><br />I'm sure that some people will say "Oh, but they're actors!" Well, yes, I am one of them! But let's face facts: The acting here sucks so bad you can't even tell if it was done by real actors or amateurs.<br /><br />The plot? Oh yeah, there's no plot at all. Just lots of shots of cars going up and down hills. And then there's a car chase scene where someone gets shot through his window with a gun. Then he goes back into the car and drives away again. There's another car chase scene where a guy runs around on the side of a building while being chased by two guys (one wearing sunglasses).<br /><br />And finally, there's the ending, which ends abruptly after 10 minutes because the director decided to cut out the last minute of the movie. So we get only what looks like a very long trailer for the next movie. Which means that the end credits have nothing to do with anything else except make us want to see more of the same crap.<br /><br />This movie has absolutely NOTHING worth watching about Hollywood production values. I don't care how much money went into producing this movie; the fact remains that its quality is simply terrible. If your goal when seeing any movie is to be entertained, avoid this one at all costs. You'll probably regret it later...<br /><br />(Note: This review contains spoilers.)<br /><br />3/5 stars from IMDb. A definite waste of time and money. Avoid at all costs!<br /><br />PS: In case anyone wants to know why I gave such low ratings, my answer would be: Because I really hate these types of films. They suck big-time. <br /><br />PS2: Another reviewer commented that the music was good. That comment must mean something. Why does everyone love cheesy pop songs over great musicals?<br /><br />PS3: One final note: All the characters were completely unlikable. Not once did I find myself rooting for anybody in this movie. Some of the scenes looked like they were filmed on a cell phone camera. The dialogue seemed forced and unnatural. I could barely understand most of it. Even the best actor in the world couldn't save this mess. <br	There's not a drop of humor in this movie. It is just an awful, terrible piece of crap that has nothing to do with the story or the characters.<br /><br />The acting was bad and so were all the other actors. I'm sure they had no idea what to say about their roles because it seemed like every line was delivered by some idiot who couldn't act at all.<br /><br />I don't know if there are any redeeming qualities in this film but I guess you can make up your own mind after watching it. The only thing worth mentioning here is how much money was spent on special effects! This movie should be banned from being shown anywhere for 10 years...or even longer!<br /><br />If you're looking for something funny then go ahead and rent "Bend It Like Beckham" instead. That one actually made me laugh once. But this one?

I like Goldie Hawn and wanted another one of her films, so when I saw Protocol for $5.50 at Walmart I purchased it. Although mildly amusing, the film never really hits it a stride. Some scenes such as a party scene in a bar just goes on for too long and really has no purpose.<br /><br />Then, of course, there is the preachy scene at the end of the film which gives the whole film a bad taste as far as I'm concerned. I don't think this scene added to the movie at all. I don't like stupid comedies trying to teach me a lesson, written by some '60's burn out especially!<br /><br />In the end, although I'm glad to possess another Hawn movie, I'm not sure it was really worth the money I paid for it!	0neg	I like Goldie Hawn and	I like Goldie Hawn and I have seen her in a few movies, but this is the first time that she has been cast as an actress. She was great! The plot of the movie was very interesting and kept my interest throughout the entire film.<br /><br />The acting by everyone involved were excellent. It's nice to see some good old fashioned comedy again. This one will be on DVD for sure!<br /><br />This movie would make a fine TV show or sitcom if it had aired somewhere around here...<br /><br />It really made me laugh out loud at times, which isn't easy with a comedy flick like this. If you haven't seen it yet, don't wait until its release date; watch it now before it gets released. You won't regret it! 10/10 stars from me! <br /><br />(Note: I'm not affiliated with the producers of this movie.)<br /><br />Thanks for reading! -Jesse (Proudly Made In America)	I like Goldie Hawn and I've seen some of her movies, but this movie was just terrible. The story is about a woman who has been married to a man for 35 years and he's dying. She wants him to die in his sleep so she can get out from under the marriage contract that they have signed. He doesn't want it done because he loves her (and he does) but she won't let go until he dies. So now there are two people living together - one with no intention of ever getting married again and another who will be forever tied down by their marriage.<br /><br />The problem here is that you don't care what happens between these characters. They're both morons and the only reason why we should care at all is if they were on TV talking about how much they love each other or something. It wasn't funny when they said "we'll always be together" or anything like that. This film could have been made into an episode of Saturday Night Live where everyone would say "oh yeah! oh yeah!" over and over again while laughing hysterically. There isn't any sense whatsoever in watching this movie.<br /><br />If anyone says they enjoyed this movie then please tell me exactly why? Why did they watch it anyway? And even more importantly: What happened after they watched it? Did they really enjoy it? Or do they think it's hilarious? If not, then maybe you need to see it yourself...it might make up your mind for you. But if you decide to give it a chance, well, you know what?<br /><br />This movie sucks. Don't waste your time or money on it. You'll regret it later. Trust me. Go rent something else instead. Especially if you're going to sit through this crapfest. I'm sure you'll find better things to do than spend $10 dollars on this piece of trash. Oh, and goldie hawns' boobs look good though. That's worth spending $2 bucks on them anyways. <br /><br />Don't bother wasting your time on this garbage. Even if you do end up seeing it, I hope you laugh at least once before you leave the theater. Otherwise, stay away from this awful movie. It deserves nothing less than zero stars. Period. No exceptions. Not even for freebies. Do yourself a favor and avoid this mess altogether. Your life may never be the same again. Seriously. Avoid this disaster at all costs. Good luck. <br /><br />Avoid this	I like Goldie Hawn and I love her movies, but this one was just a waste of time. The plot is so predictable that it's laughable. It has some good lines such as "You're not gonna believe what happened to me" or the scene where she gets into an argument with her sister about whether or not they should have gotten married at all.<br /><br />The acting in this movie is terrible by any standard. There are no real characters here except for Goldie who plays herself (and you know how much she hates herself). She also seems to be trying too hard to act sexy when really she looks very plain and unattractive.<br /><br />This film doesn't even deserve a 1 out of ten because it does seem to be directed by someone who knows nothing about directing. This isn't a bad idea if you want to make fun of yourself, but don't do it on purpose! If you've seen other people doing this type of thing then maybe you'll get something from watching this one. Otherwise, stay away! <br /><br />(Note: My rating is based solely on my personal opinion.)<br /><br />Rating: D- (out of five)	I like Goldie Hawn and I love the movie, but this is a bad movie. It's not funny at all. The plot was stupid and predictable, which made it hard to care about any of the characters. Also, there were too many scenes where they just sat around talking without doing anything (like when they are having lunch). And the ending wasn't very good either.<br /><br />The only thing that saved me from giving this movie 0/10 stars was the fact that I had seen more movies with better plots in them than this one. So if you want a really bad comedy, go see "Beverly Hills Cop" or "Scoop".<br /><br />If you're looking for something fun to watch on TV, then skip this one! You'll be glad you didn't pay $3.95 for it! <br /><br />(Rating: D) - IMDb Rating: 4 out of 10<br /><br />* Spoilers * <br /><br />- When she gets off the bus, we find out that her husband has been cheating on her.

Protocol is an implausible movie whose only saving grace is that it stars Goldie Hawn along with a good cast of supporting actors. The story revolves around a ditzy cocktail waitress who becomes famous after inadvertently saving the life of an Arab dignitary. The story goes downhill halfway through the movie and Goldie's charm just doesn't save this movie. Unless you are a Goldie Hawn fan don't go out of your way to see this film.	0neg	Protocol is an implausible movie	Protocol is an implausible movie, and that's the only reason I'm giving it a 1. The plot was so unbelievable you can't even believe it.<br /><br />The acting in this film is terrible, especially from the lead actors. They are all overacting to death. And they were supposed to be serious people...they're not! It shows through throughout the entire movie. In fact, there wasn't one scene where they weren't making faces or laughing at each other. <br /><br />(I know some of these scenes have been edited out for reasons of time, but still...)<br /><br />Some of the things said by the characters make no sense whatsoever. For example: "We'll go wherever we want." (It sounds like someone has just gone on a shopping spree.) "You don't need me anymore?" (He doesn't seem to care about her any more than he did before.) "If I had my way..." (This guy seems to think his life is going nowhere.)<br /><br />And then there's the whole idea that the girl will fall in love with him because she loves him. That's ridiculous!<br /><br />So what if the girls' parents are divorced? What does THAT tell us? If your parents divorce, do YOU get sent away to live with them? No! You stay home with them and take care of yourself! How could anyone who cares about their family NOT feel that way?<br /><br />There are many parts in this movie that really made me cringe. One thing stands out though - the ending. There's nothing wrong with having a happy ending, but this one isn't worth anything. This movie should never have been released. A lot of people probably enjoyed watching it, but I didn't enjoy it at all. Don't waste your money on this one. You won't regret it. Trust me. Just don't watch it unless you REALLY want to see a bad movie. Otherwise, avoid it completely. It's too much fun to sit down and watch something that makes absolutely NO SENSE!!<br /><br />4/10. Too bad. But if you've seen it, please let me know how it was. Tell me which part(s) of the movie left you feeling uncomfortable. Also, if you liked it, would you recommend it to others? Thanks in advance. :) <br /><br />PS: Some of the comments here may contain spoilers. Please read carefully. Thank you. :)	Protocol is an implausible movie. It's not a bad movie, but it wasn't even good enough to be funny or entertaining.<br /><br />The plot revolves around the story of two people who are in love with each other and one of them decides that they will end up together because he has no choice. The problem is that this guy doesn't have any money (he lives on welfare) so he can't afford his girlfriend. He then goes out into the world looking for her and ends up getting involved with some woman named Lisa. She seems like she might be interested in him too, but when he tells her about what happened between himself and Lisa, she becomes suspicious and starts going after him as well. This leads to all sorts of complications and misunderstandings which add to the already ridiculous storyline. I'm sure you've seen worse movies than this one, but if you're expecting something more serious, then you'll probably find yourself disappointed by this film.<br /><br />I give this movie 2/10 stars. If you want to see a really stupid movie, watch "Beverly Hills Cop" again. But don't expect anything different from this movie. In fact, there isn't much difference at all except for the title character being played by Michael Keaton instead of Jack Nicholson. <br /><br />If you enjoyed this movie, check out "Liar Liar". It was just as silly, but had far less substance. And if you liked "Dumb & Dumber", check out "A Simple Plan". That movie was pretty predictable anyway...<br /><br />So my advice would be to avoid this movie unless you absolutely must. There aren't many things worth seeing here besides the lame jokes and cheesy special effects. You may enjoy watching these types of films though - especially if your wife likes to laugh constantly! :)	Protocol is an implausible movie. It's the kind of thing that makes you wonder if a director has ever actually been in a plane crash and survived, or even made it out alive.<br /><br />The film starts with two people (one male and one female) talking about their lives on board. The first person says he was a pilot for 15 years before his accident; the second said she had been married to her husband for over 20 years but still didn't get pregnant after trying for three months. They both talk about how they were lucky enough not to die from the crash, which would have killed them all anyway.<br /><br />Then we see scenes where the characters are flying around the world as passengers on various planes. We also see shots of airplanes being hit by missiles while at sea. There are some really bad effects here - especially when the plane crashes into the ocean. I'm sure this scene must be very realistic because the actors who play these characters look like real pilots.<br /><br />In fact, there isn't much realism in this movie other than the fact that the plane doesn't explode right away. And then again, what could? This is just another example of Hollywood making up stuff to make money off of its own disaster movies. If you want to watch something interesting, go rent "A Beautiful Mind" instead. That's got more substance and less crap thrown in along the way. <br /><br />(Spoiler: A beautiful mind)	Protocol is an implausible movie that has a plot, but it's not very good. The story revolves around the lives of two people who are best friends and they have to go through some tough times in their life.<br /><br />The acting was poor throughout the entire film. I think this could've been better if there had been more dialogue between the characters. It would've made for a much better movie. Also, the camera work wasn't great either. There were so many moments where you couldn't tell what was going on because the camera moved too fast or didn't move at all. This really ruined the whole experience. Overall, I wouldn't recommend anyone watch this unless they're into bad movies. If you want something with less violence than "Dawn Of The Dead" (which also starred Brad Pitt), then check out "Memento." Otherwise, skip this one! 3/10<br /><br />Title: Protocol<br /><br />Director: Mark Linn-Baker<br /><br />(I'm sure he'll make another like this) <br /><br />Stars: James Gandolfini, Robert Loggia, Paul Sorvino, Michael Imperioli<br /><br />Plot Summary:<br /><br />Two men live together as roommates - James Gandolfini and Paul Sorvino. They both love each other and share everything about themselves without ever revealing anything about themselves outside of friendship. One day, James decides to take his girlfriend to see a doctor; however, when she refuses to let him do so, James goes off alone and gets lost in the woods. He eventually meets up with a man named Philip (Robert Loggia).<br /><br />Loggia takes James back home and tells him that he needs to be careful since someone might try to kill them...and that somebody does mean somebody. Soon after, James finds himself being followed by a mysterious stranger (Paul Sorvino) who claims to know exactly how to get inside James' house. When James finally returns home from seeing the doctor, he discovers that someone else has already taken over his body. However, James manages to escape once again before he can find out just why.<br /><br />This movie isn't terrible, it's just kind of boring. The only thing worth watching here is the ending which is pretty cool. But overall, don't waste your time with this movie. You won't enjoy yourself. 2/10<br /><br />Rating: 4/10<br /><br />*** Spo	0.5	0.5	0.500003	0.499997
When an attempt is made to assassinate the Emir of Ohtar, an Arab potentate visiting Washington, D.C., his life is saved by a cocktail waitress named Sunny Davis. Sunny becomes a national heroine and media celebrity and as a reward is offered a job working for the Protocol Section of the United States Department of State. Unknown to her however, the State Department officials who offer her the job have a hidden agenda.<br /><br />A map we see shows Ohtar lying on the borders of Saudi Arabia and South Yemen, in an area of barren desert known as the Rub al-Khali, or Empty Quarter. In real life a state in this location would have a population of virtually zero, and virtually zero strategic value, but for the purposes of the film we have to accept that Ohtar is of immense strategic importance in the Cold War and that the American government, who are keen to build a military base there, need to do all that they can in order to keep on the good side of its ruler. It transpires that the Emir has taken a fancy to the attractive young woman who saved him and he has reached a deal with the State Department; they can have their base provided that he can have Sunny as the latest addition to his harem. Sunny's new job is just a ruse to ensure that the Emir has further opportunities to meet her.<br /><br />A plot like this could have been the occasion for some hilarious satire, but in fact the film's satirical content is rather toned down. Possibly in 1984 the American public were not in the mood for trenchant satire on their country's foreign policy; this was, after all, the year in which Ronald Reagan carried forty-nine out of fifty states in the Presidential election and his hard line with the Soviet Union was clearly going down well with the voters. (If the film had been made a couple of years later, in the wake of the Iran/Contra affair, its tone might have been different).<br /><br />The film is not so much a satire as a vehicle for Goldie Hawn to show off her brand of cuteness and charm. Sunny is a typical Goldie character- pretty, sweet-natured, naive and not too bright. There is, however, a limit to how far you can go with cuteness and charm alone, and you cannot automatically make a bad film a good one just by making the leading character a dumb blonde. (Actually, that sounds more like a recipe for making a good film a bad one). Goldie tries her best to save this one, but never succeeds. Part of the reason is the inconsistent way in which her character is portrayed. On the one hand Sunny is a sweet, innocent country girl from Oregon. On the other hand she is a 35-year-old woman who works in a sleazy bar and wears a revealing costume. The effect is rather like imagining Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm grown up and working as a Bunny Girl.<br /><br />The more important reason why Goldie is unable to rescue this film is even the best comedian or comedienne is no better than his/her material, and "Protocol" is simply unfunny. Whatever humour exists is tired and strained, relying on offensive stereotypes about Arab men who, apparently, all lust after Western women, particularly if they are blonde and blue-eyed. There was a lot of this sort of thing about in the mid-eighties, as this was the period which also saw the awful Ben Kingsley/ Nastassia Kinski film "Harem", about a lascivious Middle Eastern ruler who kidnaps a young American woman, and the mini-series of the same name which told a virtually identical story with a period setting. The film-makers seem to have realised that their film would not work as a pure comedy, because towards the end it turns into a sort of latter-day "Mr Smith Goes to Washington". Sunny turns from a blonde bimbo into a fount of political wisdom and starts uttering all sorts of platitudes about Democracy and the Constitution and the Citizen's Duty to Vote and We The People and how the Price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance blah blah blah, but in truth the film is no more successful as a political parable than it is as a comedy.<br /><br />Goldie Hawn has made a number of good comedies, such as "Cactus Flower", "Overboard" and ""Housesitter", but "Protocol" is not one of them. I have not seen all of her films, but of those I have seen this dire comedy is by far the worst. 3/10	0neg	When an attempt is made	When an attempt is made to make a movie about the life of a famous person, it's always hard for me to see how that will be any good. I think most people know what happened and who they are supposed to feel sympathy for.<br /><br />But this film was just so bad! It seemed like every other scene in the movie had been filmed on location at some sort of high school or college campus somewhere around New York City. The actors were all over the place; no one looked convincing except maybe Paulie (the guy with the beard) and Jennifer Aniston as her mother. And even though there wasn't much plot going on, you could tell the director didn't have time to get everything right because he kept making changes throughout the whole thing.<br /><br />The acting was terrible--especially from Jennifer Aniston. She has such talent but she doesn't seem able to act very well here. Her performance really sucked. I'm sure she wanted to do a great job but somehow she couldn't pull it off. This was probably due to poor casting choices by the director: she should've played something more believable than her character. Maybe if she'd gotten better direction then things would've turned out okay.<br /><br />And the rest of the cast also did not help matters. They're either too young or too old to play their roles convincingly enough. There weren't many opportunities for them to show anything else besides being annoying. <br /><br />I don't understand why anyone would want to watch this movie. If you love watching movies where everyone looks exactly alike, look elsewhere. Or go rent "House Of Games" instead. That one actually does have a decent story line. You'll find yourself rooting for the characters' success rather quickly. But this is just plain awful. Avoid unless you must. 1/2 stars. Not worth your money.	When an attempt is made to make a movie about the life of a famous person, it's always hard for me to see how that will be different from what they actually lived. I am not sure if this was intended as some sort of tribute or just a way to get people interested in the subject.<br /><br />The story itself seems pretty good and there are quite a few interesting characters (including one who may have been very close with the author) but unfortunately nothing really sticks out at all. The acting isn't great either - especially by the lead actress, although she does try her best. There were also several scenes which seemed like they could've been cut down significantly without affecting the overall flow of the film too much.<br /><br />If you're looking for something truly moving then don't bother because this won't do it for you. If anything its more likely to turn your back on any interest you had in seeing it than help you appreciate the lives of those involved. It's definitely worth watching though - even if only briefly. <br /><br />(I'm going to give this 2 stars instead of the usual 1 because i think it would be unfair to say "this sucks" when it wasn't meant to.)<br /><br />4/5<br /><br />PS: This review has now received over 30 comments so far! That means my rating must be wrong...? Oh well. At least someone liked it :)	When an attempt is made to make a movie about the life of Jesus, it has to be done in such a way that you can actually see and hear what he said. This film does not do this.<br /><br />The director tries hard but fails miserably at capturing the essence of Jesus' words. The script is so bad it's laughable. It's like trying to recreate the Bible with your own imagination. You have no idea how much time was spent on each scene or which scenes were cut out for different reasons. I'm sure there are many other examples where they didn't even try their best. <br /><br />This film is just plain awful! Do yourself a favor and don't waste any more money than needed. If you really want to know anything about Christ then watch "Jesus Freaks". That might help you understand him better. But if you're looking for something else...don't bother. There isn't one word from his mouth worth remembering after watching this rubbish. 0/10. Don't waste your time on this piece of crap!<br /><br />I give this movie only two stars because it contains some good footage (the choir singing) but otherwise it falls short of being worthy of a rating higher than zero. Save your money and go buy the DVD version instead. It will save you lots of trouble later when you realize all those hours you wasted watching this garbage aren't going anywhere anyway. Oh yeah, also remember to turn off your TV when you finish watching this trash. It won't let you switch channels until you've watched every single episode. And yes, I did say that again. Turn off your TV before you start watching this junk. Seriously. Go ahead and watch it anyways. Just don't expect too much from me. I'll probably end up wasting another hour and a half of my life just sitting here typing this review. So please, avoid this mess by turning away now and never ever seeing it again. Thank you very much.

This movie was different.<br /><br />The plot line is pretty simple: A young man who has been following Jesus for years and wants to be baptized by him goes on his first trip with Jesus (which happens at night). He meets some people along the road and they tell him something he doesn't understand until after he gets back home. Then he finds out more about Jesus' life story.<br /><br />I don't know if this movie had anything to do with any real events or not but I think it did manage to give us enough information to fill our minds up without actually knowing much beyond what we already knew from other movies like "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Godzilla".<br /><br />It also reminded me of how sometimes when you see someone doing something really cool you just want them to stop because you're so impressed. But then again maybe it wasn't meant to be as intended? Maybe the director wanted to show us all these things happening around Jesus while still being able to keep the audience interested?<br /><br />If anyone else got bored during this movie, please let me know! It didn't seem very interesting to me...<br /><br />(Note: If you haven't seen "Godzilla", skip ahead to 10 minutes into this review.)<br /><br />As far as the acting goes, none were bad. The only thing I would say is that there are too many scenes where the actors look completely confused and/or scared. There aren't even any moments where everyone looks happy or excited. That makes me wonder why they decided to put those scenes in anyway.<br /><br />Overall, I thought it was okay. Not great either but good enough to watch once every now and then. Just remember, it won't be exactly what you expect unless you've read the book beforehand!<br /><br />4/5 stars. <br /><br />PS - I'm going to go check my Bible right now before I start watching another one of those boring Christian films.

What does the " Executive producer " do in a movie . If I remember correctly it's the person who raised the financial backing to make the movie . You might notice in a great number of movies starring Sean Connery that he is also the executive producer which meant Connery himself raised the money since he is a major player . Unfortunately it should also be pointed out that a great number of movies " starring Sean Connery were solely made because he managed to raise the money since he's a major Hollywood player , it's usually an indication that when the credits read that the executive producer and the star of the movie are one and the same the movie itself is nothing more than a star vehicle with the story/screenplay not being up to scratch <br /><br />PROTOCOL follows the saga of one Sunny Davis a kooky bimboesque cocktail waitress who saves a visiting dignitary and as a reward gets made a top diplomat . Likely ? As things progress Ms Davis ( Who has problems being able to string two sentences together ) finds herself in more outlandish and less likely situations . When I say that PROTOCOL stars Goldie Hawn who is also the film's executive producer do you understand what I'm saying about the story/screenplay not being up to scratch ? Exactly	0neg	What does the " Executive	What does the " Executive Producer" on a movie say? Does it mean that they are in charge of making sure this movie is good or bad. I think it means to make sure that the director and writers get paid enough money for their efforts.<br /><br />I have seen many movies where some people were not happy with how something was done, but then after watching the film again later, you realize that what they did wasn't really wrong at all. It's just that sometimes we don't see things as clearly as we should when we're seeing them first time around.<br /><br />If someone says "Executive producer", it usually means they've been involved in every aspect of the production from beginning to end. They may be responsible for writing the script (if there isn't one), directing the film, producing the music, etc...<br /><br />It seems like most executive producers do nothing more than write scripts and produce films. The only thing executives can do besides being involved in everything else is decide whether or not to sign an actor up to play a role. If he doesn't work out well, they'll probably fire him.<br /><br />The other part of my question would be: What happens if the writer/director/producer decides NOT to hire a particular person because they didn't want them working for them?<br /><br />(This is why I'm asking about the Executive Producers.) <br /><br />And finally, who gets to choose which actors to cast in the movie? Is it the director(s) themselves, or the screenwriters?<br /><br />These questions will help us understand better what makes a great movie.<br /><br />Thanks! 10 points to those who answered me correctly. And thanks to everyone who commented below!<br /><br />-Sue<br /><br />PS - This comment has no relevance whatsoever to my question. However, since I am a fan of this site, I thought I'd add another point:<br /><br />As far as I know, the majority of directors aren't even allowed to direct a TV series. So how come these execs get so much freedom to create their own projects without any restrictions? Isn't that unfair? Or maybe it's just that they haven't had too many opportunities before now, so they feel free to take risks?

If you're going to do something like this, at least try to get some original ideas from your own brain instead of copying someone else's work without giving credit for anything.

I have seen a lot of films and they all had some sort of executive producer. This one is so bad that it's funny!

Outlandish premise that rates low on plausibility and unfortunately also struggles feebly to raise laughs or interest. Only Hawn's well-known charm allows it to skate by on very thin ice.

The plot is a mess, the acting is terrible and there are too many inconsistencies in this film.<br /><br />I was expecting something more than what I got from it. It's not even worth renting if you don't like bad movies or just want to see some trashy sex scenes with women who look like they've been on drugs for years. If you're looking for an action movie then try "The Matrix" which has better story lines, characters and direction. This one doesn't deserve any praise at all! 1 out of 5 stars.

You will regret it later. <br /><br />4/10 - Terrible...<br /><br />(2)	Outlandish premise that rates low on the "good" and high on the "bad" side. The plot is not very interesting, but it's entertaining enough to watch for a few minutes.<br /><br />The acting was good in some parts (the lead actress), but mostly bad. I'm surprised at how much of an audience this movie has gotten from its 1976 release date. It seems like a lot of people saw it because they liked the idea behind it: a woman who can't find her husband after he disappears while she's out with friends. But what makes it even more bizarre than the rest of the movies released during that time period is the fact that there are no real clues as to why his disappearance occurred or where he went off to go. This could have been a great movie if you were willing to accept the whole mystery aspect of it; however, most viewers would be better served by skipping right past it altogether.<br /><br />I think this film should really get a chance to live up to its reputation. If only those responsible had taken the time to make sure that everything about it was done properly before releasing it into theaters...<br /><br />(Note: I am aware that many other reviewers here seem to disagree with me regarding this film being one of the worst films ever made. Please don't take my words against them too seriously.)<br /><br />It's worth seeing just so you know that there exist such things as poor-quality home video copies available. There are also plenty of cheap DVD releases available today which will give you exactly what you want without having to pay any money! <br /><br />If you're looking for something truly original, then avoid this one completely. You'll probably enjoy watching someone else do it instead. ;)	Outlandish premise that rates low on all counts, but the acting is top notch. The story line makes for a good movie and it's not too far fetched to think that this would actually happen in real life.<br /><br />The cast are very believable as they play their parts with gusto. I have seen many movies where some of these actors were terrible (like "Slaughter High" or even "Raising Victor Vargas").<br /><br />I was surprised at how well the script worked out. It wasn't just about making up an excuse for what happened; there was so much going on here. There was no lack of character development and each scene had its own little plot twist which made you want more!<br /><br />This film has been compared favorably to "Brokeback Mountain", but both films deal with similar themes: love, betrayal, forgiveness, redemption etc... So if you're looking for something different from your average Hollywood action flick then look elsewhere! This one will entertain you, be warned though - don't expect anything special.

There are only two movies I would give a 1/10 to, this stinker and "The Man who Fell to Earth." I remember seeing Protocol at a theater in the early 80s when I was in high school. The script is insulting to anyone (including a high school student's) intelligence. It completely lost me with the "hillarious" gag of someone getting shot in the butt. Goldie Hawn is supposed to be charming but comes across as vapid and moronic. Then there are offensive stereotypes about Arabs, followed by Goldie winning over everyone by spouting populist dribble. The acting was terrible, including Goldie Hawn's. I could not stand to see another movie she was in until IMO she redeemed herself in Everyone Says I Love You. This is the kind of movie you make if you want to put no effort into screenplay writing. The worst.	0neg	There are only two movies	There are only two movies I can think of that have been made with the same name as this one. The other is "The Last Samurai" and it's a much better movie, but still not worth seeing.<br /><br />This film has some good acting from all involved, especially from Jason Lee who plays a very interesting character in his first role since "Fight Club".<br /><br />However, there was no chemistry between the characters or any real connection to each other at all. It seemed like they were just doing their jobs for paychecks (and maybe even getting paid). There wasn't enough depth to them either. They didn't seem to care about anything except themselves. And, although we see them fighting against an army of zombies, you don't really get why they're so afraid of them...it doesn't make sense. <br /><br />I'm sure if someone had told me what this movie was supposed to be about before watching it, I would've known exactly what to expect. But then again, I probably wouldn't have watched it anyway because it seems like every time something happens, it's going to end up being bad. This could easily become my favorite zombie flick ever! I mean, come on!<br /><br />If you want to watch a great zombie movie, check out "Zombi 2", which also stars Jason Lee. If you want to see a really boring zombie movie, look into "Dawn Of The Dead". Both of these films will give you nightmares after viewing them. You'll never forget them forever. That's how scary they are. Watch them now while you still can. Don't wait until Halloween when everyone else is celebrating. Get 'em NOW!!<br /><br />(Spoiler Alert) <br /><br />Jason Lee does a pretty decent job playing the guy who gets killed by the zombies. He looks cool and he acts well. However, most people won't enjoy him too much because he comes off as kind of annoying. His performance isn't nearly as good as the performances of George Clooney and Brad Pitt in "Gladiator" and "Titanic", respectively. Also, I thought he looked more like a biker than a zombie. He did try to act somewhat menacing though.<br /><br />Andrea Riseborough is okay as the woman who tries to help the survivors. She's nice and she gives a solid performance. Her voice is quite different from her usual accent, making her sound more American. However, I found her voice overacting rather distracting	There are only two movies I can think of that have been so bad they're good. One is "The Last Picture Show" and the other is this one.<br /><br />I really don't know what happened to these people who made this movie, because it's just a bunch of crap with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The acting was terrible (especially from Burt Reynolds), the story was completely unbelievable, and the plot was totally unrealistic. There were several scenes where you could tell how stupid everything in the film was going to be...but then something would happen to make things look more believable than ever! And there were some very funny moments too: like when the sheriff went around telling everyone he had an axe on his person, but actually didn't; or when the guy got hit by a car while driving down the road, but nobody noticed until later!<br /><br />This is definitely not worth watching unless you want to see someone get killed off camera for 10 minutes straight. It's also probably best if you've never seen any of the original films before seeing this one - as far as I'm concerned, this is a waste of time. If you haven't seen anything else from the same director (or even anyone at all) then watch this anyway, but do so with your head firmly planted in the sand. This isn't even close to being a comedy, which makes me wonder why anyone thought this was such a great idea. <br /><br />If you enjoyed this movie, please give it a 2 out of 5 stars! That way, we'll still have fun discussing this movie instead of complaining about it! :) Oh, and here's hoping that someday someone will come up with another version of "The Last Picture Show" that doesn't suck so much as this one does! :D<br /><br />(PS- did anybody notice that every scene starts with the opening line? Like "It's raining cats and dogs!"?)<br /><br />4/10 Stars = 3/8th Fun, 1/8th Suckable, 7/8th Bad Movie! sigh <br /><br /> Spoilers <br /><br />So, the main character gets shot through the heart during a shooting spree outside a bar. He falls into the river, and after getting washed away, he swims back to shore. But now he has cancer and needs chemotherapy. So, he goes to the doctor and tells him that he wants to take his own life.	There are only two movies that I can think of in which the director is more than a little funny. The first one was "The Naked Gun" and the second one was this movie.<br /><br />This film has some good moments, but it's not as good as "The Naked Gun".<br /><br />It's about a guy who gets his girlfriend pregnant by an employee at work (he doesn't know she's pregnant). He then goes to see her doctor with a bunch of friends for advice on how they're going to get rid of their unwanted child. This leads them into trouble when they start having sex while he's under sedation or something like that... It turns out that there were actually 20+ pregnancies during those years! They all die from complications after being born, including the father, played by the wonderful George Wendt!<br /><br />I have no idea what happened next, because you never really find out why things happen. There isn't even any plot until the last few minutes where we finally learn exactly what happens. <br /><br />George Wendt does a great job playing the dad, although I don't understand why everyone thinks he's such a bad actor. If anything, he plays him very well.<br /><br />If you want to laugh your way through this movie, watch it again later if you've seen it before. Otherwise, skip it. You'll be glad you didn't waste time watching it. :)	There are only two movies I can think of that were so bad they're good. The first was "The Naked Gun" series, and the second is this movie.<br /><br />I'm not going to go into all the details because it's a bit too long for one comment. There isn't much else worth saying about the film other than how terrible it is. It has some funny moments (the opening scene with the naked woman in her underwear), but most of them don't make any sense at all. For example, why would you want to see a man who looks like he just came out of jail? And what happened to the story line?<br /><br />This film doesn't even have an interesting plot or character development. You get the idea by watching the film. If you thought "Scream 2" had more depth then this, well then you must be missing something big. <br /><br />If you enjoyed "The Naked Gun", avoid this. Save your time and money if you do watch it...you'll regret it! 1/10<br /><br />-Dylan	0.501725	0.498275	0.502423	0.497577
The only good thing about this movie was the shot of Goldie Hawn standing in her little french cut bikini panties and struggling to keep a dozen other depraved women from removing her skimpy little cotton top while she giggled and cooed. Ooooof! Her loins rival those of Nina Hartley. This movie came out when I was fourteen and that shot nearly killed me. I'd forgotten about it all tucked away in the naughty Roladex of my mind until seeing it the other day on TV, where they actually blurred her midsection in that scene, good grief, reminding me what a smokin' hottie of a woman Goldie Hawn was in the '80s. Kurt Russell must have had a fun life.	0neg	The only good thing about	The only good thing about this movie is that it's not a remake. I don't know how many times the same story has been told, but it was still entertaining to see and watch again.<br /><br />I'm sure there are some people who will say "why would anyone want to make another version of this?" Well, for one thing, I think they're missing out on an opportunity to show just what makes this film so great. It's worth seeing more than once because you can get into its world completely different from other versions (which I've seen).<br /><br />It also shows why this movie is better than most Hollywood movies: The characters have depth in their interactions with each other. They aren't all over-the-top clichés or stereotypical stereotypes. You actually care about these people as real people rather than cardboard cutouts.<br /><br />And finally, if you like films where everything happens at lightning fast speed - then this might be your cup of tea! This isn't meant to be slow-paced; it's supposed to be fast paced. And while it may seem strange when watching someone running through a maze, it works perfectly here. <br /><br />All in all, a very enjoyable experience. 8/10 stars. A must-see for any fan of low-budget horror flicks. Highly recommended. If you haven't already, buy the DVD set containing the original 2-disc release. That way, you'll never miss anything. Also available on VHS and LaserDisc. Don't let the title fool you though...this is much more than a typical low budget horror flick. It's definitely worth checking out! :) 9/10 stars. *** out of *. out of *. out of ***. * out of ***. out of *. * out of *. ****** out of *. ***** out of *. ******* out of *. ******** out of *. ********* out of *. ********** out of *. *********** out of *. ************ out of *. ****** out of *. ****** out of *. ******* out of *. ******** out of *. ******* out of *. ********** out of *. *********** out of *. *********** out of *. *********** out of *. *********** out of *. *********** out of *. *********** out of *. *********** out of *. *********** out of *. *********** out of *. ******	The only good thing about this movie is that it's a little bit different from the usual "drama" movies. It has some interesting moments, but mostly I think it was just an attempt to make money off of people who are already tired and bored with all these Hollywood films.<br /><br />I don't know if there were any real actors in this film or not because they didn't seem very interested in their roles (they looked like they had no idea what they were doing). The story itself wasn't really original either, although it could have been better written than most other Hollywood movies. There weren't many twists at all, so you can guess where everything will end up after 20 minutes. And the ending seemed too predictable for my taste...<br /><br />'Scream' was much more entertaining! <br /><br />(Sorry, I'm being sarcastic)	The only good thing about this film is that it's not a remake of the original. I don't know how they could have gotten away with making another one, but at least it wasn't a rehash of "The Naked Gun".<br /><br />I rented this movie because I was in a mood to see some comedy and found myself laughing throughout most of the film.<br /><br />This movie has all the usual elements you would expect from any comedy: bad acting (especially by Tom Berenger), stupid jokes, and ridiculous situations. The best part of the film for me were the two main characters who are both very funny - John Cusack as the police detective and Robert DeNiro as the cop who takes over his job after he gets fired. They're hilarious together, especially when they get into their own little world.<br /><br />If you want something different than your average comedy, then rent or buy this film. It will be worth it! <br /><br />(Note: This review contains spoilers)	The only good thing about this movie is the fact that it's not a remake. The rest of the film was awful, and I'm glad to have seen it in its original form.<br /><br />It starts out with an old man (played by John Ritter) who has just been released from prison after being convicted for murder. He comes home to his wife (played by Jennifer Tilly), but he doesn't know what to do or where to go because there are no jobs available. So he decides to take on some work at a local diner so he can make ends meet until he gets back into jail again. But when he goes to get food, someone knocks him down with a bucket of water and takes his wallet away...<br /><br />Then we find out why he came back: he had done time before serving another sentence as well, and now he wants to be able to pay off all of those debts. And since he didn't want to leave town without paying them, he decided to steal $500 worth of stuff and then run away. When he returns, he finds himself locked up once more! This time, though, he manages to escape!<br /><br />But don't worry; you won't see much of the first guy anymore--he's dead anyway. Instead, we're treated to one long chase scene between the two men, which isn't nearly as exciting as the previous three scenes combined together.<br /><br />This movie also features a lot of nudity and sex, including a few times during the course of the story. It would've made me laugh if they'd actually shown my ex-husband having sex with her neighbor instead of showing us naked women running around trying to kill each other over nothing. <br /><br />I think most people will probably enjoy watching this movie simply because it's got such great acting performances like John Ritter and Jennifer Tilly. However, if you really want to watch something funny, check out "Beverly Hills Cop" 2nd Season Episode #19:<br /><br />(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0346780/)<br /><br />If you need any advice, tell your friends not to waste their money on this garbage unless you absolutely must. You'll regret it later. If you buy it, you might end up getting ripped off even worse than you already did. Trust me, it's better to spend your hard-earned cash on something else. Better yet, skip this whole mess	0.730753	0.269247	0.500363	0.499637
I'm studying Catalan, and was delighted to find El Mar, a movie with mostly Catalan dialogue, at my art-house video store.<br /><br />Hmmm... not so delighted to have seen it.<br /><br />Yes, as other reviewers have said, it's well-made, and beautifully photographed. Although the opening sequence of the children is shockingly violent, it's well-acted and convincing. (For the most part, that is... Would the Mallorquins strip a corpse in preparation for burial right in the middle of the town square, in full view of the dead man's 10-year-old boy?) Oh, well... minor detail. Up to this point, it had something of the feel of a non-magical Pan's Labyrinth, also set in the Spanish Civil War.<br /><br />Fast-forward, and the three children who survived the opening incident have come of age. Francisca is a nun working at a tuberculosis sanatorium and the two boys, Manuel and Ramallo, both are patients. I know, but hey, coincidences happen.<br /><br />The problem, as with so many Spanish movies (apologies to Almodovar fans), is that with one exception (Francisca) the characters are just so dang weird. Their motivations, personalities, and dialogue are often simply incoherent.<br /><br />What's more, it descends into some horrific wretched excess. Be prepared for LOTS of pain and LOTS of blood. The reviewer who called it a "potboiler" is quite on track. If it had been made 40 years ago, the poster would've said: SEE FORBIDDEN LOVE!! RAPE!! MURDER!! MUTILATION!! FANATICISM!! ANIMAL CRUELTY!! BETRAYAL!! <br /><br />The opening sequence is not nearly enough to make the personalities and relationships of the characters believable. To work, this should have had multiple flashbacks to flesh out the characters. As it is, it seems a bizarre and depressing cross between "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" and "Pulp Fiction." If that sounds like something you've got to see, by all means, enjoy. I think I go with something that doesn't make me feel I need to take a shower to wash off the gore and gloom.<br /><br />As for the Catalan, it's the Mallorqui dialect, fairly different than the Barcelona dialect, though I was surprised by the comment that said that even Barcelonans apparently needed Catalan subtitles to understand it.	0neg	I'm studying Catalan, and was	I'm studying Catalan, and was surprised to see that there are a lot of films in this language. I've seen "La Mala Trampa" (1978) by Luis Buñuel ("The Bad Traveller"), "El Paseo de la Luz" (1965), "L'Esperanza del Hombre" (1943), "Tres Amigos" (1960), "Los Cuentos" (1962), "Cantabria" (1967). And now "Muy Mal Algo Es Del Mar" ("Very badly anything is on the beach").<br /><br />This film has been translated into English as "A Very Bad Thing Is On The Beach". It's about two young women who go to a seaside resort with their father. They want to spend some time together but they have no money so they decide to take a job at an amusement park where they work for free.<br /><br />They start off fine until one day when they find out that the owner of the amusement park wants them to do his dirty business because he needs them to make him look good. He tells them that if they don't get the job done quickly then he will be fired from the company. When they try to leave the place without getting paid it turns out that the boss doesn't know how much money he owes them! So they end up being forced to stay at the amusement park even though they can hardly afford food or shelter.<br /><br />It seems like a simple story but what makes this movie great is its ability to capture the essence of life in Spain during the 19th century. There were many people living in poverty and working long hours just to survive. This is reflected in all aspects of life: the way men dress, the clothes they wear, the music played in bars...and most importantly, the way people interact with each other. In fact, this theme is also reflected in the title itself - "very badly something is on the beach." <br /><br />Of course, the humor comes through throughout the movie too. Many times you'll laugh out loud while watching these girls trying to pull themselves back together after losing everything they had worked hard for.

I've been trying to find a book that goes into more detail than just "the basics" (i.e., how to spell things like 'arriba' or 'hola').<br /><br />Thanks in advance! <br /><br />(Note: this is not about learning Spanish.)

I know it's a Spanish word. But in my native language (Spanish), we say 'pea' or 'paña'. Is there any difference between these two words? Or is this just an accent for some other reason? Thank you! <br /><br />P.S.: The answer is: no. It should be pronounced like that.<br /><br />(It might also help if you look at the pronunciation of the first letters as well.)<br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br />-Vicente 2014/05/31 19:48#276747<br /><br />The correct way to say pata is pañà ("pea" - not "panna"). In fact, both are quite similar; they're only different because the French version has more syllables than the Spanish one does. That said, the Spanish form is much easier to learn since it doesn't have all those pesky accents on its tongue. And with such easy-to-digest sounds, it makes learning them even easier...<br /><br />As far as the accent goes, it's actually very subtle. You can tell when someone says something differently from what he/she really means by looking into their eyes. This is especially true for people who speak English fluently but aren't able to understand the nuances of regional dialects. For example, many Spaniards will say things like "hola", while others would use "hi" instead. Similarly, some Americans may say "hello" without thinking about where they're speaking, whereas others wouldn't bother saying hello unless they were in Mexico or elsewhere.<br /><br />In short, don't worry too much about pronouncing certain words correctly - just try your best to get used to the sound pattern. With practice, you'll find yourself using it naturally within minutes.<br /><br />And yes, it IS indeed a Spanish word. However, unlike most Spanish speakers, I think that PETA stands for "Peat Ate!" ;-) If you want to hear some examples of good Spanish pronunciation, check out YouTube videos like this one. They cover everything from basic phrases to complex ones like "El mundo es un gran misterio." Enjoy! :) <br /><br />PS: As for whether it's a mistake to pronounce it like that, I'd say so. There are plenty of reasons why people do that, including cultural differences	I'm studying Catalan, and was reading a book about the history of the city. I found this documentary on Youtube very interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6VfYxv30WU<br /><br />It's not an easy film to watch (it takes some time), but it is really well done in showing how the people lived their lives before modern times.<br /><br />The main character of the movie is Lluis Vives, who became one of the most famous writers during the 19th century. He wrote many novels, poems and plays that were translated into English by other authors such as William Shakespeare or George Bernard Shaw.<br /><br />The director has used several shots from different parts of Barcelona, which gives us a good idea of what life must have been like for these people at that time.<br /><br />This documentary should be watched with friends if you want to understand more about the culture of Spain. It might also help someone else interested in Spanish literature or cinema. The language spoken here is probably French because there are no words written in Spanish in the video.

I was excited to view a Cataluña´s film in the Berlin´s competition. But after the presentation I was total disappointed and furious. Too much blood, too much time, too much themes for nothing. The Spanish Civil War, like every war, was horrible. The revenge, a very human behavior, not pretty at all, is shown in uncountable films and plays, as well as the relations between homosexuals and the scepticism in Spain about Catholicism . But what Mr Villaronga try, is a pseudo tragedy that can belongs to the worst of the film´s history. It is really a pity to see Angela Molina in this movie. I advise nobody under no circumstances to go to see this film.	0neg	I was excited to view	I was excited to view this film because I have always been a fan of the late, great George Lucas. The only problem is that he has not made any films since his last movie "Star Wars" in 1977.<br /><br />This film however is an excellent example of how one can make a good sci-fi story into a fantastic movie without ever having seen it before and still be able to enjoy it as much as you would if you had just watched it for the first time. It's also very well acted by all involved including the wonderful Gene Hackman who plays Luke Skywalker (the man who will become Darth Vader).<br /><br />The special effects are quite impressive too with some truly amazing flying machines. They even manage to get Starship TIE to fly through space at over 300 miles per hour! This makes me wonder why they didn't use more of these machines on other movies like "Return Of The Jedi".<br /><br />Overall, this movie does a tremendous job of making me want to see every sequel or prequel to this movie again. If you're looking for something new then look no further than this movie. You won't regret watching it!<br /><br />8/10<br /><br />* out of ** <br /><br />(spoilers) A few years ago when I saw this film on DVD I thought it looked really cool but never actually got around to seeing it until recently. When I finally did I found myself completely captivated by its incredible visuals and action sequences which were so realistic that I could almost feel them happening right there and then. There are many scenes where the camera pans down from above and we see what appears to be people running around in circles while their heads explode. Other times the scene looks like someone is jumping off a building and lands on top of another person standing next to him. These kinds of things happen constantly throughout the entire movie and they add up to create such an intense feeling of excitement and danger which keeps your attention glued to the screen from start to finish. And don't forget about the awesome music score by John Williams. He creates a whole world of soundscapes within each frame of the film which adds greatly to the overall experience.<br /><br />There are several reasons why I think this movie deserves a higher rating than most others listed here: First of all it contains some of my favorite characters from the original trilogy - Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, and most	I was excited to view this film because it is the first time I have seen a movie that had an actual plot. Unfortunately, this one has none.<br /><br />The story line of "Avalon" is very confusing and doesn't make any sense at all. The characters are not interesting or believable. There were no twists in the plot either; they just happen without explanation. This makes for a poor ending as well.<br /><br />If you want to see a good horror flick then check out "Cult Of Fear". It's much better than this piece of junk! 1/2 stars from me...<br /><br />(Note: If you like movies with bad acting, weird plot lines, and little suspense - then this would be your ticket.)	I was excited to view this movie, but it turned out to be a bore. The plot is not very interesting and the characters are unlikable.<br /><br />The acting is average at best with some of the actors being completely wasted in their roles (the only ones that did well were the two main female leads).<br /><br />There's no chemistry between any of the lead characters so there isn't much tension or excitement going on here either.<br /><br />This film has nothing new to offer you and I'm sure most people will find something else they can watch instead.<br /><br />(spoiler) It starts off promisingly enough until things start getting really bad for everyone involved...and then it gets better! <br /><br />If you're looking for an entertaining action flick, look elsewhere. If you want to see some good acting and decent writing, go ahead and rent "Raising Victor Vargas". You'll get more entertainment value from that one. This movie just doesn't cut it as far as entertainment goes. 3/10 stars.<br /><br />--Derek C. --2/4/07 9:56 AM	I was excited to view this film when it came out in 1982, and I have been watching it on DVD for the past twenty years. It is a wonderful movie about two young boys who are separated from their families by the war in Vietnam.<br /><br />The story of these two brothers is told through flashbacks that show how they were brought up together as children, but then separated at the age of twelve. The flashback scenes are very emotional and heart-wrenching; however, there is also some humor thrown into them too. This makes the film even more touching because you can't help but laugh along with the characters.<br /><br />This film has many great actors including Robert Stack (who plays the father), John McIntire (the older brother) and William H Macy (the younger brother). They all do an excellent job portraying their roles perfectly. There is also a cameo appearance by James Garner as one of the soldiers who fought alongside both brothers during the war.<br /><br />If you're looking for something sweet and moving, watch "Children of the Storm". You won't be disappointed! <br /><br />(PS: If you see this film listed under another title, please let me know so I can correct my mistake.)<br /><br />Title was changed after release due to copyright issues. Original title was Children Of The Storm. Thanks for reading and enjoy!<br /><br />-Zachary	0.730753	0.269247	0.26925	0.73075
this film was a major letdown. the level of relentless cruelty and violence in this film was very disturbing. some scenes were truly unnecessarily ugly and mean-spirited. the main characters were impossible to identify with or even sympathize with. the lead protagonist's character was as slimy as they come. the sickroom/hothouse atmosphere lent itself to over-the-top theatrics. little or nothing could be learned about the Spanish civil war from this film. fortunately, i've been to spain and realize this is not realistic! in addition, the use of same-sex attraction as a lurid "horror" was also very offensive and poorly handled, while the DVD is being packaged and advertised to attract gay viewers. the actors seemed uncomfortable in their roles,as if they were trying to distance themselves from this mess.i guess if you like watching children and pets being brutally killed,this film might especially appeal to you.	0neg	this film was a major	this film was a major disappointment. i had high expectations after seeing the trailer and hoping to be pleasantly surprised, but this movie is just plain bad.<br /><br />the plot: it's about two sisters who get into an argument over their father's death (which they didn't know about). one of them goes on a rampage in her house, killing people around her. she then tries to kill herself by jumping off a building...then she gets killed too! <br /><br />what makes this movie so awful? well firstly there are no characters that you care for or feel sorry for at all; secondly the acting is terrible - especially from the lead actress as she comes across as completely unconvincing throughout the entire movie. thirdly everything happens very quickly with little explanation given behind every event which means that any suspense has been lost. fourthly the ending is absolutely ridiculous and doesn't make sense whatsoever<br /><br />i'm not sure if my wife would agree with me when I say that although this may have been made 10 years ago, its still pretty good entertainment. however, even though it wasn't great, it certainly isn't worth watching again unless your looking for some kind of cheap thrills. overall, don't waste your time on this one. save yourself the trouble and go see something else instead. 2/10 stars only because it does have some decent moments. 3/10 stars because it could've done better. 4/10 stars because it's entertaining enough. 5/10 stars because it looks really nice. 6/10 stars because it should've got more votes than it did. 7/10 stars because it's alright. 8/10 stars because it's actually OK. 9/10 stars because it's probably going to win awards next year. 10/10 stars because it's definitely NOT worth wasting your money on. 11/10 stars because it's totally pointless. 12/10 stars because it's basically a joke. 13/10 stars because it's boring. 14/10 stars because it's just average. 15/10 stars because it's okay. 16/10 stars because it's kinda funny. 17/10 stars because it's sorta scary. 18/10 stars because it's kinda creepy. 19/10 stars because it's kinda weird. 2	this film was a major disappointment. i thought it would be good, but the plot is so weak and boring that you can't even enjoy watching this movie.<br /><br />the story goes like: 1) one day we see a group of people are being chased by some bad guys (i don't remember their name). they get to a place where there's an old temple with a lot of statues in it. after some time, someone tells them that the statue has been stolen from the temple. then the guy tries to steal the statue himself, but he gets caught by the police. now what? <br /><br />2) when the cops find out about the theft, they're very suspicious because they know who stole the statue, but no idea why...<br /><br />3) while searching for the statue, the cop finds two girls together in the woods. they decide to go back home, but before leaving, they get separated again. at first, they think they've lost each other, but later on, they realize that they were really just having fun! :) <br /><br />4) all these things happen over and over again until finally, the girl falls into a river. she swims up to the surface, grabs onto a tree branch, and jumps off. luckily, her friend comes along and saves her!<br /><br />5) everything ends happily ever after. the hero is happy with his girlfriend and friends too, as well as getting his revenge against those thieves who took away his statue.<br /><br />6) the ending is pretty lame, since it doesn't explain anything or show us any more details about the main characters' lives. instead, we got a bunch of random events happening without much explanation between them.<br /><br />7) the acting isn't great either. most of the actors seem to have done nothing else except playing themselves, which makes me wonder if they actually had any talent whatsoever.<br /><br />8) the music is also not very good. it sounds kind of cheesy compared to the rest of the soundtrack.<br /><br />9) overall, I didn't care about any character in the whole thing. none of them seemed interesting enough to make me want to watch another episode of the series. i'm sure my wife will love this movie though - she loves horror movies anyway, and she'll probably laugh hysterically every time she watches it. i hope she won't mind seeing such a terrible movie. :(<br /><br />so, if you haven't	this film was a major disappointment, not only because of the lack of action but also for all its other flaws.

Three part "horror" film with some guy in a boarded up house imploring the viewer not to go "out there" and (unfortunately) gives us three tales to prove why.<br /><br />The first story involves a young couple in a car accident who meet up with two psychos. It leads up to two totally predictable twists. Still, it's quick (about 15 minutes), violent, well-acted and well-done. Predictable but enjoyable.<br /><br />The second involves a man on the run after stealing a large amount of money. His car breaks down, he's attacked by a dog and stumbles into a nearby clinic. VERY obvious, badly done and extremely slow. Even at 30 minutes this is too long. Good acting though.<br /><br />The third is just barely a horror story. It involves a beautiful, lonely woman looking for Mr. Right. It has beautiful set designs, a nice erotic feel and a nice sex scene. But (again) predictable and not even remotely scary.<br /><br />It ends very stupidly.<br /><br />All in all, the first one is worth watching, but that's it. Tune in for that one then turn it off.	0neg	Three part "horror" film with	Three part "horror" film with a plot that is so completely ridiculous, it's hard to believe the filmmakers were even trying. The first half hour of this movie was just plain bad and I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for any longer than 15 minutes at a time.<br /><br />The second half hour had me laughing hysterically until the end when I realized what was going on...and then I laughed some more! <br /><br />I don't know if there are people out there who actually enjoy watching these types of movies but they're not worth your money or time because you'll be wasting both by spending an extra few bucks on tickets (or rent) to see them again later in life. It really isn't funny anymore. If you want something to watch during the winter months, go ahead - buy a DVD copy of one of those crappy horror films from Blockbuster. You won't regret it!<br /><br />(Note: This review contains spoilers.)<br /><br />PS: I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how much better this movie would have been without the guy in the wheelchair. He made no sense whatsoever as a character. And he didn't seem very interesting either.<br /><br />PPS: One last note about this movie. When I saw it on TV I thought it looked like a low budget version of "Psycho". But after seeing it myself I found it far superior to the original. What do you think? Would you rather see a cheap remake of Psycho or this? Or maybe I missed something?<br /><br />This movie should never be shown ever again. There will always be another way to make fun of this kind of thing. Just stay away from it unless you're desperate. Otherwise, get yourself a good laugh every once in awhile. That's all we need right now.<br /><br />Oh yeah, and please stop making copies of this stuff. We've seen enough of that already. Don't waste our time or yours doing it again. Stay safe everyone. Bye-bye. <br /><br />-Derek<br /><br />P.S.: For anyone wondering why I gave this movie such high marks, here goes. I rented it thinking it might be a great horror flick. However, after viewing it, I realize I wasted $20 on renting it instead of buying it. So, yes, I did give it a higher rating than usual. I guess I can forgive that since I only bought it for the laughs factor alone. Oh well	Three part "horror" film with a very interesting premise. The first half is pretty good, the second and third are quite bad but still watchable.<br /><br />The plot revolves around a group of people who live in an abandoned building that has been turned into apartments for rent (the last one being occupied by a couple). One night they hear strange noises coming from inside the apartment which turns out to be some kind of spirit or something similar. Soon after this there's another noise that sounds like it might have come from within the building itself...<br /><br />It starts off as a fairly creepy movie but soon becomes boring and predictable. There isn't much suspense going on throughout most of the movie so you're just waiting for them all to die because no one really seems to care about any of these characters at all. It also doesn't help matters that we don't get to see many of their faces until the end when they finally do. This would've made the whole thing more enjoyable if it had shown us what was behind those doors instead of having them look completely empty.<br /><br />I'm not sure why I gave this 4 stars over the other two parts though; while the acting wasn't terrible it didn't make up for the lackluster script either. And yes, I did laugh once during the entire movie! But even then it came across as cheap humor rather than scary horror. If you want to see a decently done horror flick without too much gore or nudity then check out "House of the Dead", "Scream 2" or "Dead Alive". These movies were better than this one overall. <br /><br />8/10<br /><br />(spoilers) Okay here goes: When the main character comes home late one night he finds his house deserted except for the dead body of his wife. He decides to investigate further only to find himself surrounded by zombies! In fact, every single person living in the neighborhood is now dead. Now, how does he survive? Well, he can talk to whoever he wants via telepathy and use whatever magic potion he likes to cure him of anything that gets in his way. Unfortunately, he also needs food and water, so he must go to town to buy everything he needs. Along the way he meets a bunch of weirdos including a guy named "Bobby" who looks like he's got a lot of money and knows how to cook. Then along comes a woman named "Lola" who claims she's pregnant and wants to adopt Bobby's baby	Three part "horror" film with a twist. I was expecting the usual gory, blood splatter and gore but instead got something that is more subtle in its approach to horror.<br /><br />The story revolves around an old man who has been haunted by his past. He meets up with some friends at a bar where he tells them about it all. The friend takes him into a room which looks like a museum of sorts. They are shown various objects from different eras including one of the most famous paintings ever made - Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa (which is actually not on display).<br /><br />This leads to another object being taken out of this room and hidden somewhere else inside the building. This object turns out to be a key to opening a portal through time allowing anyone who can enter it back to their own era without having to pay for passage or anything similar. It also allows you to see what happened during your lifetime before entering the portal itself.<br /><br />There will be many twists and turns along the way as we follow the characters trying to find out why they were put there, how did they get here? And what exactly do they want?<br /><br />It really does take some getting used to though because when things happen in the movie it feels very much like a real life event rather than just a dream sequence. There isn't any actual violence so if you don't mind seeing nudity then go ahead. But otherwise it doesn't feel too realistic either.<br /><br />I would definitely recommend watching this film if you enjoy horror films in general. If you're looking for something completely new try watching 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' or 'Friday The 13th'. Both have quite unique ideas and styles to work with while still retaining elements of the genre. <br /><br />If you enjoyed this review please leave me a comment! Thanks! :)	Three part "horror" film with a plot that is as predictable and unoriginal as the rest of this movie. The first half hour or so was OK, but then it just went downhill from there.<br /><br />The acting was pretty bad (the only good one being Richard Dreyfuss) and the story line seemed to be written by someone who had never seen anything scary before. I'm not sure if they were trying to make a horror comedy or an action/comedy, because the jokes weren't funny at all. It's like watching a 10 year old read his own script for the first time. There wasn't much gore in the way of blood splatter either...<br /><br />I really don't know what happened here, other than some sort of budget cut somewhere along the way. This movie doesn't even look like it could have been made on a shoestring budget. If you're looking for something truly original, rent "Scream". If you want to see a bunch of people running around screaming their heads off while wearing clothes that are supposed to represent vampires, go watch "Nightmare On Elm Street: The Dream Warriors". These two movies aren't nearly as bad as this one, though. <br /><br />So, why did I waste my money? Because I didn't care about any character except for the lead vampire. And he looked awful! He should've worn a mask instead of having a face full of teeth sticking out through his mouth. Also, when he gets bitten by a snake, he looks like he has no idea how to use a knife. That would explain why he couldn't kill anyone besides himself. Why does he keep stabbing himself anyway?<br /><br />And the ending? Well, after the guy kills him, the girl runs away, and she walks right into the same place where the vampire killed her father. She sees him walking towards her, and she goes back home. But wait....she remembers that she saw him walk past her once earlier, and now she can't find him anywhere else. What do we learn next?? Oh yeah, she finds the vampire and kills him too!!<br /><br />This movie isn't worth your time unless you're desperate for something to do tonight. Otherwise, skip it. You'll probably regret it later on. :) <br /><br />(spoiler alert) The final scene is actually quite cool. The girls' dad comes up behind them and starts talking to them, telling them everything that's going on. Then he turns around	0.499959	0.500041	0.730718	0.269282
A very cheesy and dull road movie, with the intention to be hip and modern, shown in the editing style and some weird camera angles, resulting only in sleepiness. <br /><br />The cast is wasted, the writing is stupid and pretentious. The only thing worthwhile is the top-notch Lalo Schifrin's soundtrack, really cool and also the opening sequence, very original and interesting. <br /><br />Run if you can, the bad opinions and comments about this flick are totally deserved; it is really pure garbage.

However, after about half way through we decided to turn off the TV because she couldn't stand watching another boring movie like this anymore. We both agreed that if they ever made a sequel, we wouldn't be interested as well. This isn't even worth renting - just don't waste time on it! <br /><br />(Also, the DVD cover looks pretty cool though.)<br /><br />My rating: D- out of five stars<br /><br />--Derek G.--(San Francisco) CA	A very cheesy and dull movie. The acting was terrible, the plot was weak, the script had no point whatsoever.<br /><br />The only thing that kept me watching this film for what it is - a cheaply made horror flick with some decent gore effects (which were not really necessary) but nothing else to keep my attention. I would have given this one 1/2 stars if there wasn't so much blood in it! <br /><br />I'm sure someone will say "Oh yeah" when they see this on DVD or VHS because of all those bloody scenes...but don't bother buying it unless you want to watch an hour of your life wasted by a bad movie like this!!<br /><br />Avoid at all costs!!!<br /><br />(Note: This review may contain spoilers.)<br /><br />PS- If anyone out there has seen this movie before, please let me know how many times I've watched it without even noticing any change in its quality. That's why I rated it as low as possible! (Sorry!)<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Derek<br /><br />Rating: D+ (out of five stars)<br /><br />*SPOILERS<br /><br />This is a good example of how bad a movie can be. It starts off well enough, with a nice opening sequence where we get to meet our main character, who looks pretty cool and his girlfriend. But then things start getting worse from here. We're introduced to the killer, played by a man who looked about ten years older than he actually did. He kills people randomly throughout the movie, leaving us wondering whether these killings are random accidents or intentional murders. There's also another guy who seems to be involved in everything, which leads up to a big twist ending that leaves us scratching our heads trying to figure out just what happened. And the final scene? Well, it's kind of lame too. Just like the rest of the movie, it doesn't make sense either way.<br /><br />But hey, sometimes movies need to be cheesy to sell them. After all, nobody wants to spend their money on something boring. So, go ahead and give this movie a try. You'll probably enjoy it more than most people do. At least, I didn't mind it too much. In fact, I think it might have been funnier than most other films around. Oh well. Maybe next time I'll stick to action movies instead of this crap!<br	A very cheesy and dull movie. I am not sure why it was made but the plot is a bit weak, there are some good moments in this film - like when the main character (the guy who played "Bobby") tries to get his girlfriend's attention by throwing her a bunch of flowers that she doesn't even notice until he leaves for work...<br /><br />The acting isn't bad either.<br /><br />I would say that if you want to watch a boring movie with no action or suspense then this one will be your pick. But as far as entertainment goes, don't bother! It just won't do anything for anyone. 3/10<br /><br />PS: The ending scene at the end of the movie has been done before on other movies so don't expect much more from me :) <br /><br />(spoilers) If you liked this movie, check out "The Last Kiss" which also stars William H Macy as well as another actor who plays the same role twice. This time they play two different guys trying to win back their ex-girlfriend after being separated forever.

There are some nice shots in this film, it catches some of the landscapes with such a beautiful light, in fact the cinematography is probably it's best asset.<br /><br />But it's basically more of a made for TV movie, and although it has a lot of twists and turns in the plot, which keeps it quite interesting viewing, there are no subtitles and key plot developments are unveiled in Spanish, so non Spanish speakers will be left a little lost.<br /><br />I had it as a Xmas gift, as it's a family trait to work through the films of a actor we find talented, and Matthew Mconaughey was just awesome in "A Time to kill" , and the "The Newton Boys " so I expressed I wanted to see more of his work.<br /><br />However although it says on the DVD box it is a Matthew Mconaughey film and uses this as a marketing ploy, he has a few lines and is on screen for not very minutes at the end of the film, he is basically an extra and he doesn't exactly light up the screen while he is on, so die hard fans, really not worth it from that point of view.<br /><br />The films star though, Patrick McGaw is great though and very easy on the eye, and his character is just so nice and kind and caring, a true saint of a guy, he'd be well written into a ROM com.<br /><br />So for true Mcconaughey acting brilliance of the ones I've seen, I'd recommend, "A Time to kill" , "The Newton Boys " "Frailty", "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days", "Edtv" and "Amistad" and avoid too "Larger Than Life" and "Angels in the Outfield" unless you feel like a kids film or have kids around as neither of these are indicative of his talent, but are quite amusing films for children, again MM is really nothing more that a supporting artist with just a few if any lines.<br /><br />As for Scorpion Springit's not a bad film but it also isn't screen stealing either.	0neg	There are some nice shots	There are some nice shots of the city and a few scenes with the police, but this movie is just too slow. The story line isn't very interesting either. It's not that I don't like crime movies or action films in general (I love them), but if you want to see something different than the usual fare then go for it! This one was pretty good though.<br /><br />The acting wasn't bad at all; the only thing really wrong about it were the actors who played the main characters: they weren't convincing as the cops - maybe because they didn't have much screen time? And while there were some decent action sequences, most of these were done by people we already know from other films...<br /><br />Overall, this film has its moments, especially when the two leads get together on their boat after being chased through the streets of New York City. But overall, my rating would be 3/10. If you're looking for an entertaining thriller, check out "Blow" instead. Otherwise, skip over this one and watch the others. You'll thank me later!<br /><br />(spoilers) <br /><br />A cop gets framed for murder and ends up getting involved with a woman he doesn't even know. He becomes obsessed with her and starts stalking her around town, which eventually results in him killing several innocent men. However, his obsession goes beyond killing and he begins to fall in love with her. Can she help him uncover the truth behind what happened?<br /><br />This film has a lot going for it, including great cinematography, solid performances, and plenty of suspenseful action scenes. Unfortunately, the plot itself is so predictable that it makes no sense whatsoever. There aren't any twists or surprises here, making it feel more like a typical low-budget slasher flick rather than anything truly original. Overall, it's still worth watching, but it won't make you laugh or cry. Just stick with your favorite genre and enjoy the rest of your life without having to worry about whether or not you've seen every single movie ever made. :)<br /><br />Rating: */ (out of ) / (out of *) ***** (out of *)<br /><br />* = Very Good<br /><br />*** = Excellent<br /><br />**= Very Excellent<br /><br />***= Extremely Excellent<br /><br />****= Great<br /><br />****+ = Wonderful<br /><br />******- = Pretty Good<br /><	There are some nice shots of the old town and a few good ones in this film. The main problem is that it's not very well acted, especially by the young actors who play the two brothers.<br /><br />The story itself isn't bad but I can see why they didn't make it into a TV series or movie. It could have been interesting to watch as an independent feature if there was more time for them to develop their characters. <br /><br />I give it 4 out of 10 because while it has its moments, it doesn't really do anything special with what it does have going on. If you want something different from your typical western, check out "A Few Good Men" (which I think is better than this).<br /><br />8/10<br /><br />--Bobby	There are some nice shots of the city and a couple of good scenes with the police. The movie is very slow, but it's not bad at all.<br /><br />The main character is a guy who has been in prison for 10 years now. He wants to get out because he feels that his life was ruined by this system. This leads him into trouble when he meets a girl (who looks like she could be a prostitute)and they start having sex on her couch...<br /><br />I think I'm going to give this film one star instead of two stars just because there isn't much action or suspense happening throughout the whole thing. It seems as if the director didn't want to waste any time on anything else besides showing us how bad things were before we got to see what happened after that. <br /><br />This movie doesn't have many redeeming qualities except for its acting skills which are pretty decent. You can tell that the actors know their lines well enough so that you don't really notice they're saying them again later on.<br /><br />Overall, I would say that this movie is worth watching only if you love crime movies. If you hate crime movies then this will probably make no difference to your opinion about the movie itself. But if you do enjoy crime movies then you'll probably find yourself liking this movie more than most other movies from the same year.<br /><br />(Note: I've seen this movie twice already.)<br /><br />Rating: /20<br /><br />Title (Brazil): "O Solito" ("Solitude")<br /><br />Runtime: ~75 minutes<br /><br />Director(s): José Carlos Gomes<br /><br />Stars: Raul Meir, Maria Serrador, Marisa Pinto, Bruno Bela, Pedro Filho<br /><br />Country: Brazil<br /><br />Language: Portuguese<br /><br />Grade: B-+ (out of four)<br /><br />SPOILERS<br /><br /> * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *	There are some nice shots of the city, and a few good scenes with the police. But this is not an action movie - it's more like a thriller.<br /><br />The film has been well received by critics but I didn't find much to admire about it. The acting was OK (although there were too many actors in the cast), the story wasn't very interesting, and the plot seemed rather contrived at times. <br /><br />I guess that if you're looking for something fast-paced and exciting then this might be your cup of tea; otherwise, don't waste time or money on it. On the other hand, if you want to see how bad movies can get, watch "Guns" again!

When a man who doesn't have Alzheimer's can't remember how many films he's made, he probably is the world's most prolific director after all. That man is Jesus Franco, the king of so-called 'eurotrash'. His 1980 flick Devil Hunter is as rushed, opaque, stupid, lazy and exploitative in the truest sense of the word (the film's title is misleading, for starters) as any other Franco film I've seen. That makes it sound pretty awful, and it is... Yet Franco does have some kind of inimitable sensibility, a generous way with the baldly outrageous, with nudity and sleaze and violence, and even with his stupid cheap editing which tries to pave over the extreme haste with which all his films were made. The mix of all these elements causes you to ride his films out, even while you're mostly waiting for them to end because they're so very tedious.<br /><br />Devil Hunter is nigh on incomprehensible for the first half an hour. The kidnap by strangers of a white woman who seems to be a model or film star is intercut with a bunch of native action in South America. There's lots of naked writhing, dancing, and endless repeated zoom-ins on an ugly totem pole. You need to get used to the repetitive zoom-ins and the technique of cutting back to the same shot about three times in a row right away, as these are Franco's main methods of extending a film out to feature length.<br /><br />The monster who looks like the totem pole is actually kind of scary. He has raw bug eyes and his presence is always signalled on the soundtrack by cacophonous groaning, apparently recorded in an echo chamber. Early in the piece he chews on a native lady strapped to a tree, and it's hard to know what really happens here but I think he ate her stomach (or her genitals, sweet Jesus!).<br /><br />Anyway, the adventure begins properly when a studly guy and his freaked out Vietnam vet pal are sent to the island to recover the white girl from the kidnappers. The flakey guy has an accent which, as dubbed, is half Brooklyn-American, half English-Liverpudlian and all retarded. All of the dialogue and dubbing is ridiculous and laughable, making for another layer of the film which can somehow hold your interest.<br /><br />Not too much really happens from here on in, and it happens pretty sluggishly, studded with the odd bit of outrage like a rape. The nebulous action is fleshed out (haha!) by acres of 360 degree nudity from the natives and the two female leads, and even from the monster himself. That he walks around with his penis exposed makes wrestling him an unappetising prospect for the tough guy hero, but it's gotta be done at some point, and it's nice to note that the director will show anyone's genitals on camera.<br /><br />The best feature of Devil Hunter is the location filming. Franco can be extremely cheap with the structural and story aspects of film-making, but he doesn't muck around with sets. You get real islands, jungles, helicopters and mountains, all in widescreen. This is something that is really cool to experience in these days of crappy CGI sets and backdrops ad nauseam.<br /><br />Ultimately, issues of recommendation where this film is concerned seem moot. If you're trying to see all the Video Nasties, you will have to watch this at some point, and you'll be made as restless as I was. If you like Franco, you'll watch this anyway. If you fall into neither of the above categories, the odds are you'll never come across this film. Copies of it aren't just lying around, and I could hardly recommend the seeking out of it. It's Franco. Lazy, crazy Franco.	0neg	When a man who doesn't	When a man who doesn't know how to cook is forced by his wife and children to make dinner for the family, he decides to try out one of the many Italian recipes that are available in this film. Unfortunately, it's not just any recipe; there are some very bad ones.<br /><br />The movie starts with an old woman (played by a young actress) who has been cooking since she was 10 years old. She cooks like no other person I've ever seen before - her food tastes good but isn't much more than average. The problem comes when she tries to teach her son about making pasta or pizza.<br /><br />As you can see from the plot summary above, the main characters aren't particularly likable at all. They're both too busy trying to impress their wives and kids so they don't have time to really get involved in what happens on-screen. This means that we never feel anything for either character except maybe sympathy for them being stuck doing something boring everyday.<br /><br />I'm sure most people would enjoy watching this film if they were bored enough to sit through it. But as far as entertainment goes, it fails miserably. It's hard to imagine anyone enjoying this film because it's such a terrible experience. If you want to watch a comedy where everyone gets killed off halfway through, then go ahead and rent "Death Wish". Otherwise, skip this one completely. You won't be disappointed. <br /><br />(spoilers ahead)<br /><br />There are two things worth mentioning here: first, the cinematography is absolutely stunning! Second, the music score is pretty awesome. In fact, the entire soundtrack is so great that I'd recommend renting it over almost every single horror flick you own. Just listen to this track while you eat your pie!<br /><br />So overall, this is a terrible film that should only be watched once. Avoid it at all costs. There may even be worse movies out there...<br /><br />Rating: D- (out of ten stars). A+ (out of ten stars). B+ (out of ten stars). C- (out of ten stars). F- (out of ten stars). R (out of ten stars).

When a man who doesn't know what he wants is given the chance to do something, and does it with all his heart, there's no stopping him. This film has that kind of power.<br /><br />The story concerns two young men in their early twenties: one from an affluent family in New York City (John Cusack) and another from a working-class background (Denzel Washington). They both have dreams about becoming actors but are unable to make them come true because they don't know how or where to start. When John meets Denzel at a party, he asks if he can help him achieve his dream by giving him advice on acting. He tells him that he should "be honest" when talking to people - not just himself. The next day, John goes out for breakfast with his girlfriend and discovers she's pregnant! She tries to convince him to get married so he'll be able to go back home to her parents; however, he refuses. Sooner than you can say 'I'm going to sleep' he leaves town. After being away for several days, John returns to find his apartment empty. It turns out that his mother had died leaving him $10 million worth of stock which was stolen from his father's bank account. His father is now dead and his mother is living off of his inheritance. In addition, his sister-in-law has been cheating on him with someone else!<br /><br />This movie isn't perfect though. For example, I found myself wondering why John kept telling his friend that he wanted to become an actor even after seeing him perform only once before. If this were my own life, I would've told him too. However, as far as the plot went, it seemed very realistic considering the circumstances surrounding the characters. <br /><br />Overall, this is a great comedy that will keep you laughing throughout its 85 minutes. You won't regret watching it. Definitely recommended. 7/10<br /><br />Title (Brazil): "O Poderoso Lobo De Malhação" ("The Powerful Lion Of Malta")<br /><br />(Director): José Luis de Almeida Martins<br /><br />Cast (in order of appearance): John Cusack, Dennis Lynch, Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Hopkins, Michael Imperioli, Christopher Walken, Mira Sorvino, Danny Glover, Keanu Reeves, Tom Berenger, Jeff Bridges, Tim Robbins, Hugh Jackman, Charlize Theron, Kevin Spacey, Jason Lee	When a man who doesn't know how to get laid is forced to do so by his girlfriend, he finds himself in the middle of an erotic adventure that will leave you gasping for breath.<br /><br />This film has all the ingredients needed to make it into a great movie. The acting was excellent and I loved every minute of it. It's not just about the story but also about the sex scenes which were very hot and well done. There are some really good performances from the cast including Kelli Garner (as the sexy nurse) and Jennifer Tilly as the woman who wants to have sex with her husband.<br /><br />The plot is definitely one of my favourites because there isn't much else going on here. This makes this film even more enjoyable! If you like movies where you feel like you're being watched then you'll love this film. You won't be bored or disappointed at any point during your viewing time!<br /><br />I give this film 10/10 stars - if only we had something like this when we first met our significant other...<br /><br />(PS: I'm still waiting for the DVD release date!) <br /><br />8 out of 10<br /><br />9 out of 10<br /><br />7 out of 10<br /><br />6 out of 10<br /><br />5 out of 10<br /><br />4 out of 10<br /><br />3 out of 10<br /><br />2 out of 10<br /><br />1 out of 10<br /><br />* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *	When a man who doesn't know how to use a gun is shot in the head by his own wife, he wakes up with no memory of what happened. He's not sure if it was a dream or reality and has nightmares about being attacked by a werewolf.<br /><br />This movie had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish! The acting was great (especially by the lead actor), but I felt that this film could have been so much better. It would be nice for the director to take some time out to make the story more interesting rather than just making the characters look like they're trying too hard to act scary!<br /><br />I give it 8/10 because there are plenty of good things going for this movie: the acting, the storyline, the cinematography...but overall I think it falls short due to poor writing and direction. If you want something really creepy then go see "The Werewolves" instead. This one isn't as bad as most people say though. There were times where I thought it might get boring at certain points, but once again, I'm glad I watched it all the way through. <br /><br />Overall, I gave it an eight out of ten based solely off its plot. But don't let that put you down - it's still pretty good considering. Just watch it when you feel like watching something different :)<br /><br />(spoilers) In case anyone else wants to know why I rated this movie only three stars over average; I didn't care about any of the characters enough to actually care about them dying. They weren't even very likable anyway. Also, I found myself wishing that I'd never seen anything similar before seeing this one. And I mean NOTHING alike. So yeah, I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this movie. :( <br /><br />Oh well. At least I got to enjoy a few minutes of horror movies without having to pay full price for them. ;) Oh, and I also liked the fact that it wasn't afraid to show nudity throughout the entire film. That alone makes it worth checking out! :D<br /><br />If you've ever wanted to see another vampire flick, check out "Werewolf". You won't regret it! ;)<br /><br />7/10 (out of 10) = 24/36 rating out of 5 stars. Rating scale: 1-5, 1 being worst possible, 5 best possible. My	0.269256	0.730744	0.500384	0.499616
I have been looking for this film for ages because it is quite rare to find as it was one of the video nasties. I finally found it on DVD at the end of last year it is a very low budget movie The story is set around amazon jungle tribes that are living in fear of the devil. Laura Crawford is a model who is kidnapped by a gang of thugs while she is working in South America. They take her into the jungle Laura is guarded by some ridiculous native who calls himself "The Devil" she has to go though all unpleasant things until they are happy. Maidens are Chained up. The devil demonstrates eating flesh in a horrible manner. Peter Weston, is the devil hunter, who goes into the jungle to try and rescue her,	0neg	I have been looking for	I have been looking for this movie since it was first released in 1983. I finally got my hands on a copy of the DVD and watched it tonight.<br /><br />It is one of those movies that you can't help but watch over and over again, even though you know what will happen at the end. The acting is excellent (especially by Jennifer Connelly), the story line is good enough to keep your interest throughout the entire film, and the music is great! <br /><br />The only thing missing from this movie are the actors who played the main characters - they were all so convincing as their respective roles. It's hard to believe these people actually had never acted before.<br /><br />This movie has some very interesting themes: love, betrayal, revenge...and how we react when someone dies or something bad happens to us. This movie also shows the importance of forgiveness - especially if there is no other way out!<br /><br />If you like classic horror films with lots of gore and suspense, then this movie should be added to your collection. If not, please let me know why you don't want to see this movie. I'd really like to see more reviews about this movie because I think most reviewers would agree that it deserves better than just an average rating.<br /><br />My vote is eight stars. You'll enjoy watching this movie many times. And if you're interested in seeing another movie featuring Jennifer Connelly, check out "A Time To Kill" which she starred in back in 2004. She does such wonderful performances here too! :)<br /><br />(PS- Another reviewer commented that this movie doesn't feature any nudity or sex scenes. That's true, but none of them occur during the course of the movie.)<br /><br />Thanks for reading! Enjoy! :) --Jenny	I have been looking for this movie since it was released. I had to see it again because of the great reviews that were posted on IMDb. It is a classic and one of my favorite movies ever! The acting, directing and story are all top notch.<br /><br />The only thing that could be improved would be some more scenes with the other characters but overall this film is an amazing piece of work from start to finish. If you haven't seen this movie yet then please do so as soon as possible!! You will not regret it!!! <br /><br />(It has been 10 years now since I last saw "A Christmas Story" which made me realize how much I miss it.)<br /><br />Please watch this classic movie if at all possible. This is definitely worth your time...and money! :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and enjoy!<br /><br />Kudos to the people who put together this wonderful movie! You guys deserve credit for making such a masterpiece! Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />~Sara~ (P.S. - I am still waiting for the DVD release!)<br /><br />PS: Please give this movie a thumbs up or five stars if you like it! Thanks in advance! :-)	I have been looking for this movie since it was first released. I finally got to see it on DVD and, well...it's just not as good as the original version of "The Adventures Of Robin Hood". The story is a little different than the one in the book (which has more action scenes), but there are some similarities between them.<br /><br />Robin Hood is still fighting against the evil Earl of Hereford who wants to kill him because he stole his wife from him. He also fights off various other villains like the Sheriff of Nottingham, Sir John Guise, and even the Duke of York himself! <br /><br />This film does show Robin Hood being a bit rough around the edges at times; however, that is what makes him so interesting. One of my favorite parts about this movie is when he goes after the Sheriff of Nottingham with the help of his friends. They beat up the Sheriff until they had enough strength left to take him down!<br /><br />Overall, though, if you're into movies based on the books or novels by C.S. Lewis then you'll probably enjoy this movie very much. If you want something completely new and fresh, try watching the novel instead. It will be better. :)<br /><br />(Note: This review contains spoilers)	I have been looking for this movie since it was first released. I finally found the DVD in a used video store and bought it, but had to wait 2 months before watching it because of shipping problems.<br /><br />The story is about two brothers who are trying to make money by selling their fathers' old car (which they stole). The film starts with one brother driving his father's car around town while he tries to sell it at a garage sale. He gets some people interested enough to buy him out of the deal, which makes him very happy as he can now use his new-found wealth to go on vacation. However, when he returns from his trip, he discovers that the other brother has stolen the car back! When he confronts them both, he finds himself having to fight off an evil villain named "Mr. Evil" who wants to take over the world using his powers.<br /><br />This movie is not only funny, but also contains plenty of action scenes and great special effects. It is definitely worth purchasing if you like movies featuring cars or motorcycles. The acting is good throughout the entire movie, especially from the main character played by Michael Jai White. This movie would be even better if it were available in English rather than Spanish, but otherwise, I recommend it highly. If you want something different, try renting or buying another movie called "Car Racer".<br /><br />(Rating: 8/10) <br /><br />Title (Brazil): "Bombeiro do Brasil" ("Bad Boy Brazil") <br /><br />Runtime (in minutes): 95 min<br /><br />Director(s): Bruno Barreto, Roberto de Almeida, Fernando Lopes da Silva, Luiz Augusto Machado<br /><br />Producer(s): Paulo Pereira, Ricardo Dantas, Marcello Mastroianni, Alexandre Pinto, José Carlos Basso, Antônio Viana, Eduardo Coelho, Paulo Martins, Claudio Gomes, Maria Cristina Ferreira, Renato Sá Carneiro, Antonio Faria, Pedro Mendes, Gabriel Cunha, Jorge Santos, Lucas Leal, Francisco dos Santos, Ricardo Braga, Marco Azevedo, Mariano Sousa, André Lourenço, Marcelino Vieira, Luciano Nogueira, Jose Luis Alves, Tarcisio Fusco, Pedro Soares, Gil Vicente, Alberto Correa, José Batista, José Henriquez, Pedro Freire, João	0.499998	0.500002	0.499937	0.500063
As the number of Video Nasties I've yet to see dwindles, this little pile of garbage popped up on my "to rent" list when I saw it was available.<br /><br />The premise involves a fashion model or something being kidnapped and taken into the jungle to be held for ransom by a motley crew of idiots. Some other goof gets hired to bring her back and is given a sack of money to use as a bargaining chip, though if he returns with the girl and all the money, he gets a significant cut. He's brought a helicopter and pilot with him and, wow, that pilot is one of the worst actors EVER! Granted, they are all totally terrible and the dubbing will make you cry blood. After stealing away into the jungle, we learn that nearby is a cannibal cult whose flesheating earthbound god wanders the woods like a human King Kong looking for tribeswomen to ravage and devour. Now, this fellow is just a naked guy with some of the worst makeup ever, ping-pong balls for eyes and that's pretty much it. His growls and groans are an everpresent feature on the soundtrack, and I found myself muting much of those scenes.<br /><br />Oh, did I forget to mention the almost constant nudity? This is probably the main reason this film was banned, though there is one specific scene, about one second long, where the god attacks a girl and pulls her guts out, but it's not a redeeming factor for gore fans. Also, Jess Franco goes beyond the usual T and A and shows lengthy close-ups of female genitals, and, sadly, male as well. So, if you want "fair" in terms of exploitation, you got it.<br /><br />I can't recommend this trash to anyone. It's not even the good bad movie. It's just atrociously padded trash that only a Video Nasty fan will probably view and even then, if you are making your way through the list, leave this for the very last. If you watch it first, you may get the notion that this is the norm for the list, which is certainly not true.	0neg	As the number of Video	As the number of Video Game sequels grows, so does the amount of bad ones. <br /><br />This one is no exception.<br /><br />I'm not sure if it's just me or this movie was really awful. The acting was terrible and I found myself wondering how anyone could make a video game sequel to something like "The Legend of Korra".<br /><br />It felt as though they were trying to cram in too many things into such a short time frame (and that wasn't even done well). It seemed like every scene had been cut out at some point during production. There are several scenes where you can hear someone yelling from behind them while others don't sound very loud enough for your ears to pick up on. This made watching the film feel more like watching an episode of "Seinfeld" than anything else. And then there's the fact that the ending doesn't seem entirely satisfying either...<br /><br />Overall, this isn't worth renting unless you're desperate to see another bad video game sequel. If you want to watch a good video game sequel, check out "Dragon Ball Super: Ultimate Wars", which has a much better plot and characters. But if you want to waste 90 minutes of your life with a bunch of people who act like idiots, go ahead - but be warned! You'll probably regret it when you wake up next morning. That's my advice anyway.	As the number of Video Game Consoles and home computers increase, so do the numbers of people who are unable to play video games. This is a sad fact that must be faced by those in charge of making these products.<br /><br />I have had no problems with my 10 year old son playing his favorite game on his Nintendo DS (the one he got for Christmas). I am not sure why this is such an issue but it seems like there should be some sort of rule about what can be played on your computer or TV screen without being able to see through the glasses. It doesn't seem fair that you get to go out and buy all new consoles every few years when someone else has already done it before them. And if they want to make more money off their customers then fine, but don't expect me to pay full price just because I'm a parent! <br /><br />There's another problem though. The only reason I own any console at all is because I bought it as part of a package deal from Best Buy. They gave me two different ones for $25 each which was great considering how much money I spent on other things. But now that we've gotten rid of both of our consoles, I find myself wanting to purchase yet another one. What does this mean? That I'll keep buying stuff until I finally run out of cash?!<br /><br />The biggest problem with this whole thing is that even though most gamers will never need to use a keyboard or mouse again after getting used to using a touch-screen device, many others won't ever be able to afford a new system unless they're willing to sacrifice quality gaming time for convenience. If I wanted to take up painting instead of watching video games, would any of my friends care? No way!<br /><br />This isn't something that affects everyone equally; it affects very few people. My kids love their systems and don't mind spending hours upon hours playing them. So far, none of us have been affected by this situation. But maybe someday someone will decide to change this policy...and hopefully give us enough money to actually buy a new system within the next couple of months.<br /><br />(Note: I realize that this comment may sound like a rant against parents who allow their children to spend thousands of dollars on video games. However, I believe that parental control over entertainment devices is important.)<br /><br />If anyone reading this knows of a good website where parents can discuss issues related to video games or console ownership, please let me	As the number of Video Game Consoles has increased, so too have the video game companies. The biggest name in gaming is Nintendo and they are always trying to come up with new games that will keep people coming back for more. However this year's "Super Mario 64" was a disappointing disappointment from both the company and the players.<br /><br />The main reason why I think it wasn't as good as it could be is because there were no surprises or twists at all throughout the whole game. It seemed like every time you thought something bad had happened, it would happen again. This made me feel bored out of my mind when I couldn't find anything interesting about the game. Also, some parts of the game felt very repetitive and boring. For example: When you go into the castle area, you can see a giant snake on top of a tower. You then get to unlock the door by knocking down a few enemies but after that, nothing happens until you knock another one down! That part really annoyed me!<br /><br />Also, if you're looking for an action packed game, don't bother buying this game. There isn't any. All you need to do is play Super Mario Bros. 3 (the original) which is much better than this rubbish. If you want a fun game, check out Super Mario Galaxy which is even better than this crap! <br /><br />Overall, I give this game only three stars out of ten. Don't buy this game unless you're a fan of the series or just look for other games instead. Otherwise, skip it and try playing Super Mario Bros. 3. <br /><br />(I gave this game four stars out of ten because it did contain a lot of hidden secrets.)<br /><br />PS: My rating for this game comes from the website called Metacritic.com. They rate everything between zero and nine points where zero means the game sucks, eleven means the game is average, twelve means the game is pretty good, thirteen means the game is great, fourteen means the game is amazing, fifteen means the game is excellent, sixteen means the game is fantastic, seventeen means the game is awesome, eighteen means the game is brilliant, nineteen means the game is incredible, twenty means the game is extraordinary, thirty means the game is superb, forty means the game is outstanding, fifty means the game is wonderful, sixty means the game is exceptional, seventy means the game is magnificent, eighty means the game is remarkable, ninety means the game is astonishing)<br	As the number of Video Game Consoles and DVD players in homes grows, so does the need for a reliable way to keep track of what is on each device.

Not sure if I'm referring to those who labeled this a video nasty or to the director..."Devil Hunter" sure is one bizarre 'horror' movie.<br /><br />The plot is a loosey goosey combo of superior films like "Cannibal Ferox" and "Cut and Run." Chick gets kidnapped in the 'jungle' by a 'tribe' of 'savages.' The jungle looks more like a park somewhere in Mexico. The tribe is like a group of hippies who walk around in Party City-style Halloween costume renditions of tribal garb. And the savages range in race from white to Asian to black to hispanic. I suppose Franco just grabbed anyone who looked even slightly ethnic for this romp.<br /><br />To make matters worse, this film has ultra-minimal gore, no real scares and a lot of unnecessary penis. Not fun. I can find something to like in just about any sleazy Italian or Euro-trash film; this one just fell WAY short.<br /><br />2 out of 10, kids.	0neg	Not sure if I'm referring	Not sure if I'm referring to the film or the movie, but either way it's a good looking movie. The acting is great and there are some really cool scenes in here.<br /><br />The story line itself was pretty interesting as well. It wasn't too bad for what they had going on with this one. There were no big twists at all. And that made me think of "Liar Liar" which also has an interesting storyline. But those two movies aren't even close to being comparable.<br /><br />I give this movie 8/10 because it does have its moments where you can see why people like it so much. The plot gets confusing sometimes, especially when things happen very fast (like in the first half hour).<br /><br />But overall, I would say this is worth watching just to see how good a director they were back then. They did do something different than today though...but hey, who cares? This isn't meant to be taken seriously by anyone except maybe fans of the genre. So don't take my word for it, watch it yourself! You'll know better afterwards. <br /><br />(PS: If you're reading this--don't read any further) - I saw this movie last night while waiting for the next train home from work. I didn't realize until later that I'd seen it before. I guess I should've known more about the movie beforehand. :-( <br /><br />So anyway, thanks again for reading through this review. Thanks for your time. :) Cheers!<br /><br />-Buddy<br /><br />PS: I actually liked this movie a lot. Even though I only watched part of it. That's probably due to the fact that I knew nothing about the subject matter prior to seeing it. I kind of fell into the world created by the characters instead of trying to figure out anything else. I mean, yeah, it takes place in the future, but we already know what will happen anyways. Plus, the ending makes sense after everything happens. It doesn't feel rushed or forced. In fact, it feels natural. Just like most films these days. Anyway, I still enjoyed it enough to recommend it to others. ;) <br /><br />Thanks again buddy for taking the time to write this review!! :) Cheers! Buddy! Btw, check out my other reviews of the same type. Enjoy! :) Cheers! Buddy! Btw, check out my other reviews of the same type. Enjoy! :) Cheers!	Not sure if I'm referring to the original or not, but this movie is a complete rip-off of "The Godfather". The only difference between them are that they don't have any real characters and it's just another family drama. This one has no plot whatsoever, so you can watch it for what it is: A bunch of people with nothing better doing their job than watching TV.<br /><br />I think it was directed by Chris Cooper (who also did "Fight Club" - which I found quite good) who should be ashamed of his work here. He doesn't even try hard enough on making us care about these characters...<br /><br />This film could've been made in 1970 when there were more interesting movies out there like "Sudden Impact", "Goodfellas", etc., instead of wasting time trying to make an excuse to show off some new camera tricks. There is absolutely NO character development at all! It seems as though he wanted to use every trick in the book to get me interested in him and his character, but failed miserably because we didn't care anymore after two hours.<br /><br />If you want to see a great movie without having to pay $25+ for tickets, rent "Bad Santa". If you're looking for something entertaining, rent "The Godfather Part II". You'll probably enjoy both of those films much more then this piece of crap.<br /><br />(PS- What happened to Anthony Quinn? Did he leave early?)<br /><br />3/10<br /><br />* OUT OF * <br /><br /> OKAY.....<br /><br />* SPOILER ALERT ***<br /><br />You know how sometimes you read reviews where someone says "this movie sucked"? Well, this movie sucks. And I mean REALLY Sucks. Not funny, not touching, not scary, not anything else really. But it does have its moments....<br /><br />There's the opening scene, which starts off slow and boring, but gradually gets faster and faster until it finally explodes into a beautiful montage of action scenes. Then comes the climax, which is pretty cool too. Afterward, however, everything falls apart very quickly. The ending isn't bad per se, but it feels rushed and forced compared to the rest of the movie. Also, why would anyone give such a low rating to a movie that had a decent amount of nudity?! Why wouldn't they say something positive about the acting? Or maybe the director himself felt	Not sure if I'm referring to the first or second movie, but it's a good one. It has great acting and is very well done for its time.<br /><br />The story of a young girl who gets kidnapped by an evil sorcerer (who turns out to be her father) and his minions in order to gain the power of the magic flower that will make everyone around him immortal. The film starts off with some really cool music which makes you feel like you're right there on the island where these people are living. This goes along with the fact that this was made before 1984 so the special effects were pretty bad at best. There isn't much action going on throughout the whole thing though because they had no money to do anything else besides shoot stuff up. They did have some nice scenery shots here and there as well.<br /><br />I think what makes this movie stand apart from other movies about pirates is how realistic everything looks. Even when things go wrong, such as when the pirate ship sinks, it doesn't look too bad since most of them sink anyway. Also, even when things get worse, such as when the captain dies, he still lives on until the end credits roll over. That alone gives me hope that this movie can live on after all these years and hopefully we'll see more of it someday! <br /><br />Overall, I give this movie two stars. If you want something different than your average Disney movie then check it out. Just don't expect any fancy special effects or explosions either. You won't need any of those. This just needs to be watched once and forgotten about forever. Oh yeah...and don't forget to watch the ending scene again!!<br /><br />3/5 Stars - Good Movie!!!	Not sure if I'm referring to the movie or not, but it's a film that is so bad you can't even watch. The acting was terrible and the script was awful.<br /><br />The plot of this film is very simple: A group of people go on an adventure in order to find out what happened to their parents when they were younger. When they get there everything goes wrong because the main character (the guy who plays the lead) has no idea where he is going. He runs around for days looking for his way back home...<br /><br />This is one of those films that just makes me want to throw up. It's really hard to believe that anyone would actually make such a stupid film like this. And yet here we are! This is truly something that should be banned from being shown at any cinema anywhere in the world. If you have seen this film then please tell us why? We'd love to hear your thoughts about it!<br /><br />I give this film 1/10 stars only because it does look pretty good on DVD. But otherwise don't waste your time with this piece of crap. You'll probably regret doing so later on. <br /><br />(SPOILER ALERT!)<br /><br />If you're interested in seeing how bad this film is, check out the trailer below:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ3eXW62a8M<br /><br />PS - if you do decide to see this film, please let us know what you think.

Please read that too if you haven't already. :)<br /><br />PS- Also, as a warning to others, this film will NOT work unless you use some sort of special device to turn off all lights except for the ones used by the actors playing the characters. Otherwise you may end up hurting yourself badly while watching this film. ;) <br /><br />PS- As a final note, I encourage everyone to watch this film without knowing anything whatsoever about it beforehand.

This video nasty was initially banned in Britain, and allowed in last November without cuts.<br /><br />It features the Playboy Playmate of the Month October 1979, Ursula Buchfellner. The opening cuts back and forth between Buchfellner and foggy jungle pictures. I am not sure what the purpose of that was. It would have been much better to focus on the bathtub scene.<br /><br />Laura (Buchfellner) is kidnapped and held in the jungle for ransom. Peter (Al Cliver - The Beyond, Zombie) is sent to find her and the ransom. Of course, one of the kidnappers (Antonio de Cabo) manages to pass the time productively, while another (Werner Pochath) whines incessantly.<br /><br />The ransom exchange goes to hell, and Laura runs into the jungle. Will Peter save her before the cannibals have a meal? Oh, yes, there are cannibals in this jungle. Why do you think it was a video nasty! Muriel Montossé is found by Peter and his partner (Antonio Mayans - Angel of Death) on the kidnapper's boat. Montossé is very comfortably undressed. Peter leaves them and goes off alone to find Laura, who has been captured by now. They pass the time having sex, and don't see the danger approaching. Guts, anyone? Great fight between Peter and the naked devil (Burt Altman).<br /><br />Blood, decapitation, guts, lots of full frontal, some great writhing by the cannibal priestess (Aline Mess), and the line, "They tore her heart out," which is hilarious if you see the film.	0neg	This video nasty was initially	This video nasty was initially released in 1975 and has since been re-released on DVD. The original release had a very low budget, but it is still worth watching. I am not sure why this film got such poor reviews from critics at the time of its initial release.<br /><br />The story begins with an old man who lives alone in his home. He spends most of his time reading books to pass the time. One day he reads about a book called "The Book of Life" which tells how one can go back in time by using certain spells that are contained within the book itself. This spell allows him to travel through time as well as space. When he does so, however, he finds himself transported into another world where people live forever without having any children or grandchildren. His wife dies when she gives birth to their first child while they were away visiting relatives. Now he must find someone to take care of them until he returns home again. It turns out that there is no way for him to return because he cannot leave his house once he enters it. So instead, he goes to work every morning before sunrise and works all night long. Every evening after midnight he leaves the office and walks down the street towards his home, hoping to catch up with his wife and daughter. Unfortunately, he never gets close enough to see her face. After several years he finally meets up with his wife (who looks like she's just turned 20) and their daughter. They have become good friends over the years. But then he realizes that he will be leaving town soon and he wants to make sure that his family knows that he loves them even though he doesn't get to spend much time together anymore. <br /><br />I thought this movie was pretty funny. There isn't really anything scary going on here, except maybe for the fact that you don't know what might happen next. You also won't believe some things if you haven't seen the movie yet. For example: In a scene near the end of the movie, the father tries to enter his son-in-law's room only to discover that the door is locked! How did he do that? Well, remember that earlier in the movie he says something along the lines of, "It's locked!" And now we're told that it's open!!<br /><br />In addition, the camera angles during scenes involving the father trying to reach inside the son-in-law's room are quite interesting. Sometimes he'll shoot straight ahead while other times he'll turn around and	This video nasty was initially released in the UK as a VHS tape. It's now available on DVD, and I've seen it several times since then.<br /><br />The film is about an American woman who has just moved to London with her husband and two young children. She goes out for coffee one day, but she gets lost and ends up wandering around town until she finds herself at a bar where she meets another woman (played by the lovely Julie Christie). They begin talking and falling in love quickly; they eventually get married and have their first child together. The next morning after leaving the house, they are attacked by thugs dressed like zombies. A few days later, they find themselves being chased through London streets again - this time by a group of masked men wearing masks that look exactly like those worn by the criminals from the previous night! This time, however, they escape!<br /><br />I can't say much more than what others already said: there isn't anything particularly original or interesting here. But if you're looking for something silly and fun, then this will be your cup of tea. If you want some serious horror, go see "Nightmare Alley".<br /><br />(spoilers) <br /><br />There were many scenes which made me laugh hysterically. For example, when the couple meet the other women who work at the bar, we hear them laughing so hard that they start cracking up while making faces. When the man tries to leave his wife alone, he falls down onto the floor and begins screaming. He looks absolutely terrified...and still laughs hysterically throughout the whole scene.<br /><br />But even better? There's a lot of gratuitous nudity. And yes, there is sex too, although not very explicit. In fact, the only thing worse than having sex naked is watching someone else do it without any clothes on.<br /><br />Overall, this movie is pretty tame compared to most of the films that came out during the 80s/90s. However, I think it would appeal to anyone over the age of fourteen. You'll probably enjoy it because it's funny, sexy, and exciting all rolled into one. My advice? Watch it once before seeing Nightmare Alley, otherwise you might end up missing both movies altogether. :) <br /><br />Rating: **1/2 stars<br /><br />1 star = Not worth my time. Would never rent it again. 3 stars = Very good. Worth renting twice. *4 stars = Excellent.	This video nasty was initially released in the UK as a 30 minute short film. It is now available on DVD and has been re-released with an extended version of the original footage, which includes some new scenes.<br /><br />The story concerns two young men who are sent to work for a local businessman (played by Peter Weller) after being rejected from university. The businessman gives them instructions that they must do something good before leaving him so that he can pay off his debts. One man goes out into the countryside where he meets a woman who appears to be very attractive but then disappears. He returns home only to find her waiting outside his door. She tells him she's going to marry someone else soon and asks if he wants to come along too.<br /><br />They meet up again at another house and this time there is no explanation given why she suddenly appeared or what happened between them previously. They continue their journey until finally arriving at a remote location where they encounter a group of people who have just arrived from London. This leads to more questions about what really happens here and how it relates to the previous events involving the women.<br /><br />It doesn't take long before the pair discover that one of the other members of the group is actually a member of the police force! There is also a scene featuring a policeman trying to arrest the couple while they are still inside the building. We learn later that the policemen were looking for a missing girl who had gone missing whilst working for the family owner. The girls' father is not happy when they return back to England because he believes they may have stolen money from him.<br /><br />There are many twists and turns throughout the movie including a car crash leading to several deaths and even a helicopter landing. I found myself wondering whether everything would turn out all right eventually. However, I did enjoy watching the climax towards the end of the film and although it wasn't exactly thrilling enough to make me want to see it again, it was well worth seeing once. <br /><br />I think that this film could easily become a cult classic considering its popularity among horror fans worldwide, especially those who like to watch films that contain nudity and sex. Although there isn't much gore involved, the violence does occur occasionally during the course of the film. In fact, you will probably be shocked at some parts of the ending. If your wife likes to watch movies containing lots of blood and guts, then this might not be the type of film for you. But if you're interested in finding out more	This video nasty was initially released in the UK as a low budget horror film, but it has now been re-released on DVD. The original version of this movie is 70 minutes long and features some very good gore effects that are not to be missed.<br /><br />The story begins with a young girl named Sarah (played by Amanda Plummer) who lives alone at home with her mother, husband and sister. One night she discovers an old doll hidden under the bed which turns out to have a strange power. She decides to use it for her own benefit and soon finds herself trapped inside the doll. Soon after, she starts seeing things through the eyes of the doll. Her father arrives one evening and they begin to investigate what happened to their daughter. As the days go by, more people start dying from mysterious causes...<br /><br />I would like to say that I liked this film because there were many great scenes throughout the entire film. Some of them include: -the scene where Sarah's mom goes into a trance while watching her daughter die; -Sarah being chased around by her dad & his friends; -a scene when Sarah meets up with the ghostly Mrs. Johnson; -some really cool special effects including a flying car, a giant spider, a zombie head etc.; -a scene featuring a woman dressed entirely in black; -a scene involving a man having sex with a dead body; -another scene with a guy getting bitten by a werewolf; -and much more! <br /><br />However, the biggest problem with this film is probably its lack of plot development. There isn't enough time spent developing any characters or situations so you can become bored easily during the whole thing. This means that if you don't watch closely, you may miss important parts of the film. Also, most of the acting performances aren't all that impressive either. For example, Amanda Plummer does well here though, especially when she gets scared. However, other actors seem to struggle a lot trying to portray different characters. In fact, I found myself wondering why these actors didn't just stick to playing themselves rather than attempting anything else!<br /><br />Overall, this is a pretty decent little slasher flick. It doesn't hold your interest too much due to its slow pace, but it still manages to keep me interested until the end. If you're looking for something scary then this might work for you. Otherwise, skip it unless you want to waste money buying a DVD copy. But if you do decide to rent it, make	0.730707	0.269293	0.500324	0.499676
Of the three titles from Jess Franco to find their way onto the Official DPP Video Nasty list (Devil Hunter, Bloody Moon and Women Behind Bars) this is perhaps the least deserving of notoriety, being a dreadfully dull jungle clunker enlivened only very slightly by a little inept gore, a gratuitous rape scene, and loads of nudity.<br /><br />Gorgeous blonde Ursula Buchfellner plays movie star Laura Crawford who is abducted by a gang of ruthless kidnappers and taken to a remote tropical island inhabited by a savage tribe who worship the 'devil god' that lurks in the jungle (a big, naked, bulging-eyed native who likes to eat the hearts of nubile female sacrifices).<br /><br />Employed by Laura's agent to deliver a $6million ransom, brave mercenary Peter Weston (Al Cliver) and his Vietnam vet pilot pal travel to the island, but encounter trouble when the bad guys attempt a double-cross. During the confusion, Laura escapes into the jungle, but runs straight into the arms of the island's natives, who offer her up to their god.<br /><br />Franco directs in his usual torpid style and loads this laughable effort with his usual dreadful trademarks: crap gore, murky cinematography, rapid zooms, numerous crotch shots, out of focus imagery, awful sound effects, and ham-fisted editing. The result is a dire mess that is a real struggle to sit through from start to finish (It took me a couple of sittings to finish the thing), and even the sight of the luscious Buchfellner in all of her natural glory ain't enough to make me revisit this film in a hurry.	0neg	Of the three titles from	Of the three titles from this series, I think "The Man in the White Suit" is the worst. The story was so predictable and unbelievable that it made me feel like a fool for wasting my time watching it.<br /><br />I can't believe how many people are saying about the plot of this movie as being original or interesting. It's not! This movie has nothing to do with any other movies by the same director (or even similar directors).<br /><br />This movie just repeats clichés over and over again without giving anything new to its audience. For example: the main character gets his first job at an electronics store where he meets a girl who's also there working there. They fall in love but then she leaves him because her boss doesn't approve of their relationship. Then they meet up again later on when he works at another shop which happens to be owned by the woman's ex-boyfriend. He falls back into his old habits and becomes obsessed with drugs while she tries to get away from him. She eventually breaks up with him and moves out to live alone. When the guy comes back around and starts dating her again, she finally realizes what happened before and decides to leave him too...<br /><br />It all seems very contrived and unrealistic. There were several scenes that seemed completely unnecessary and pointless. Also, some of the dialogue between characters sounded really fake - especially the one between the two women. And the ending was totally unoriginal and boring. But still, if you're looking for something different than most of the other films in the series, go ahead and watch it. Otherwise, skip it!<br /><br />3/10<br /><br />-SPOILER ALERT- <br /><br />(Spoiler Alert) After the opening credits roll we see the man playing a piano. We hear music coming through the speakers and suddenly, the screen goes black and lights up. A person walks towards us slowly and quietly until he reaches our screensaver. Suddenly, the camera pans down to reveal a young boy wearing a white suit walking along behind him. As soon as the camera cuts to the next shot, the young boy turns left and disappears into thin air. That's right - the entire film takes place entirely within the confines of a single room. No outside lighting whatsoever. This is probably why the whole thing felt so real. If only the actors had been able to act more convincingly instead of acting like cardboard cutouts. Oh well, maybe someday someone will make a good use of this footage and put	Of the three titles from this series, I found "The Last House on the Left" to be the worst. The plot was weak and predictable (and some of it seemed implausible), the acting was poor, and the script just didn't work.<br /><br />I can understand why there are so many fans for "The Shining", but they should have known better than that. This movie is a real letdown after such an excellent first outing ("A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: Dream Warriors").<br /><br />If you're looking for something to watch with your family or friends, then go ahead - but if you want something good to see in theaters, avoid this one at all costs! It's not worth wasting time watching. If you don't like horror movies, skip this one as well...it won't make much difference anyway. But if you do enjoy these types of films, please give them another chance - chances are that you'll find more enjoyment out of this film than most people will ever get out of any other title in the series. <br /><br />It's also interesting to note how little attention has been paid by critics when reviewing this film. Many reviewers seem to think that this is a classic because of its strong cast including Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, and William Forsythe; however, none of those actors were even mentioned in the reviews written about the original "Shine". <br /><br />Overall, I'd recommend skipping this one altogether unless you really love horror films. Otherwise, try searching around for something else instead. You may still find something worthwhile to watch though!<br /><br />(This review contains spoilers)	Of the three titles from this director, I liked "The Last Wave" best. It was a very good film with some interesting characters and an excellent plot that kept me on my toes throughout most of it.<br /><br />I've seen all four movies in theaters and found them to be quite enjoyable; however, they are not as well known or widely distributed now than when they were released (1973).<br /><br />This is probably due more to the fact that these films have been out for much longer, so people know what they're talking about and can appreciate them better. Also, there's always something new to learn by watching old movies again - especially if you haven't seen them since 1968! <br /><br />However, I think that even though they may seem dated today, many of the themes explored still hold true: love, betrayal, jealousy, redemption, and hope...and they're just plain fun!<br /><br />In conclusion, The Last Wave should definitely be added into your movie collection. You won't regret it! :) Thanks for reading! :D<br /><br />(Note: This review contains spoilers.)	Of the three titles from this film, I think "The Last Hunt" is the best. It's a very well done and interesting movie with some great action sequences.<br /><br />It has an excellent cast of actors including: Michael Ironside (as Agent 13), James Coburn (as General Jurgens) and Burt Reynolds as Lt. Colonel John Winters.<br /><br />This one also features two other good performances by Peter Falk and Robert Stack in their first screen together since "The Longest Yard".<br /><br />I would definitely recommend it to fans of all kinds of movies - especially those who like action films! <br /><br />If you're looking for something different than most Hollywood fare, then check out this one! You won't be disappointed!<br /><br />(Note: This review was written before the release date of the DVD.)<br /><br />Rating: */10<br /><br />* = Excellent; ** = Very Good; =Good; ***=Poor	0.5	0.5	0.500004	0.499996
How can you tell that a horror movie is terrible? when you can't stop laughing about it of course! The plot has been well covered by other reviewers, so I'll just add a few things on the hilarity of it all.<br /><br />Some reviews have placed the location in South America, others in Africa, I thought it was in some random island in the Pacific. Where exactly does this take place, seems to be a mystery. The cannibal tribe is conformed by a couple of black women some black men, and a man who looks like a young Frank Zappa banging the drums... the Devil God is a large black man with a terrible case of pink eyes.<br /><br />One of the "freakiest" moments in the film is when, "Pablito" find his partner hanging from a tree covered in what seems to be an orange substance that I assume is blood, starts screaming for minutes on and on (that's actually funny), and then the head of his partner falls in the ground and "Pablito" kicks it a bit for what I assume is "shits n' giggles" and the eyes actually move...<br /><br />But, of course, then the "freak" is gone when you realize the eyes moved because the movie is just bad...<br /><br />I hadn't laughed like this in a loooong while, and I definitely recommend this film for a Sunday afternoon with your friends and you have nothing to do... grab a case of beers and start watching this film, you'll love it! If you are looking for a real horror or gore movie, though... don't' bother.	0neg	How can you tell that	How can you tell that this movie is a rip-off of "The Godfather" without knowing it? I was expecting to see the same old stuff, but what I got instead were some really good scenes. The acting in this film is great and the story line is very interesting.<br /><br />This movie has so many twists and turns that even if you have seen all 3 movies before, you will still be amazed at how cleverly they weave them together. <br /><br />I would definitely recommend this movie for anyone who likes action flicks or just wants something different from the usual gangster films. It's not as violent as most other gangster movies (like "The Departed"), but it does contain enough violence to keep your attention on every scene. If you like watching people get killed off one by one then this may not be the right choice for you; however, if you enjoy fast paced action with lots of suspense and intrigue - then you'll love it! <br /><br />If you're looking for an entertaining movie about two brothers trying to make their way through life after being involved in crime, then look no further than this movie. This movie won't disappoint!<br /><br />(spoiler) A little too much blood, sex and violence...<br /><br />8/10<br /><br />Rated R for language, sexual content & strong violence.

The only reason why people like it is because they think it's funny or something.<br /><br />It was supposed to be about an American girl who has been kidnapped by Japanese soldiers in WWII. But instead of using her as a spy for America (like she would have done if she had escaped), the director uses her as a prostitute. That's right! A real woman with no morals at all!<br /><br />The ending is even worse than the rest of the film: the two girls get together after being separated from each other forever... but then, suddenly, one of them dies. And then the next scene shows us that both girls were killed before their deaths...<br /><br />I don't know how anyone could watch this garbage again without laughing hysterically. It's just awful. If you want to see some truly terrible movies, rent "Slaughterhouse-5". You will laugh your ass off there too. This movie is really stupid, but also very entertaining. <br /><br />If you're looking for a good horror flick, go ahead and watch "Halloween II" - which isn't much better either. There's nothing wrong with watching those films, though. They'll make you feel sick and uncomfortable. But if you want to see some genuinely horrible crap, try renting "American Psycho", "Psycho 2016" or "Gore 3/11". These ones aren't worth wasting time on. They're actually pretty boring and unwatchable.<br /><br />(And yes, I'm aware that these titles sound ridiculous, but hey, sometimes you gotta take what you can get.)<br /><br />'Cause we've got a lot more fun things going on outside of here<br /><br />This movie sucks big-time. Don't waste any money on it. It's totally worthless. Go rent something else. Or maybe check out my review of "Dunkirk"... it's way better than this piece of trash. Oh yeah, and if you do decide to rent it, please leave me a comment telling me exactly what you thought of it.

The plot was so predictable and the acting just plain bad. I mean, what's with all these people who are in love with each other but don't want to be together?! And then there were those two guys who had no idea how much they loved each other! They couldn't even talk about it because of their lack of knowledge.<br /><br />I really didn't like this movie at all. It wasn't scary or exciting enough for me to watch again. If you're looking for something new, rent "The Last House on the Left". That might have been better than this piece of junk. 1/2 stars outta 5<br /><br />-Dylan	How can you tell that this movie is not a comedy? The only funny parts are the ones where they try to make it look like something serious. This film was made for kids, and I'm surprised that they didn't use any of their own money or borrowed from some friends.<br /><br />The plot: 3 girls go on an adventure in order to find out who really killed their father (who died when he was young). They meet a guy named "Zack" who has all kinds of powers, but no one knows how to control them. He also gives his sister a potion which makes her invisible. She goes into a cave with Zack and finds a woman's body lying there. Then she sees another girl walking around naked...<br /><br />This movie doesn't have anything interesting going on at all. It just tries to be funny by making fun of everything bad about teenagers. In fact, most of the jokes were so stupid that even adults would laugh at them. And what's worse, these people don't know how to act either! <br /><br />I gave this movie three stars because of its low budget. But if you're looking for good laughs then skip this movie completely. If you want more than that, rent "Halloween", "Friday the 13th Part II", or "Cabin Fever". You'll get much better entertainment. 2/10 Stars<br /><br />'s Movie Rating: F - For Teens' Movie Rating: B- for Adults' Movie Rating: A+ for Kids & Teens' Movie Rating: C- for Adults & Youngsters' Movie Rating: D- for KIDS & Teenagers' Movie Rating: E- for Parents' Movie Rating: N/A for Everyone else's Movie Rating: R+ for Mature Audience's Movie Rating: X+ for Extreme Viewer's Rating: V for Very Violent Viewer's Rating: T for Torchy Viewer's Rating: PG- for Parental Guidance Viewer's Rating: NC- for Not Rated Viewer's Rating: M for Mild Violence Viewer's Rating: S for Sexual Content Viewer's Rating: U for Unrated Viewer's Rating: W for Workplace Viewer's Rating: Y for Youth Viewer's Rating: Z for Video Viewer's Rating: X for Special Edition Viewer's Rating: x+ for Extremes Viewer's Rating: X+ for Extremely Extreme Viewer's Rating: X+ for Extreme Viewer's Rating: X+ for Extreme Viewer's Rating: X+ for Extreme Viewer's Rating: X+ for Extreme	0.730748	0.269252	0.5	0.5
A model named Laura is working in South America when she is kidnapped from her hotel room by a gang and taken into the jungle. They demand a huge ransom for her release. Peter is hired to get her home safe and there is a bonus in it for him if he can bring back the money as well as the girl. Peter is taken to the jungle by helicopter with friend Jack. They try to give the kidnappers fake money in return for Laura but the plan goes horribly wrong and they have to bail out in the helicopter. The helicopter is shot and they also have to bail from that (not going well so far). Also roaming the jungles is a devil of sorts. In reality its just a naked black guy with weirdly big eyes and a breathing problem. He starts to kill a few of the kidnappers and Laura escapes only to be captured by some primitives. The rest of the film is a bit of a blur really.<br /><br />Now I'm not a massive Jess Franco fan, in fact to date this is only the second film of his I have seen, but even I can tell that this really isn't one of his best efforts. The films drags along at a pretty slow pace without much at all happening. The whole thing could have been edited down quite easily into a 25 minute TV show. There are plenty of overly long shots of people walking through the jungle that could have just been lifted straight out.<br /><br />Devil Hunter is poorly lit (Infact I don't think it was lit at all), badly dubbed, poorly acted and slow yet for some reason it didn't bore me. I think the main reason for this was some of the hilariously bad scenes in it. For example a scene where Laura is walking in the street was obviously shot in a real street as crowds of people stop to stare straight at the camera as its shooting. Another funny scene has one of the gang who has been killed, hung in a tree dripping blood as one of his friends stands directly under him screaming for what seems like minutes. Then for no reason at all the man in the trees head just falls of and hits the guy under him. It has to be seen to be believed. Then of course there is the actual devil. It is just some naked black guy who despite the fact he has massive eyes, he has very blurry vision.<br /><br />The film was hooked up in part of the video nasty scare in the 80's here in the UK and was banned. Now why it was I have no idea. There is very little gore at all and it's hardly a shocking film. Minus the nudity I would have said that it could get away with a PG almost. The only thing I can think of is that it was never actually watched and was added to the original list because of word of mouth.<br /><br />There is not much reason to watch this film really unless you are a massive Jess Franco fan. There is plenty of nudity to keep you from falling asleep and also some scenes that are so bad you can have a good laugh at them but other wise I would say just pay for a ticket to South America and get lost in a jungle. It would probably be more fun.<br /><br />3/10	0neg	A model named Laura is	A model named Laura is trying to make a movie about her life. She has been married for 15 years and the husband died when she was only six months old, so she's now just raising their two daughters.<br /><br />The film starts with an interview with Laura where we learn that she had no idea what she wanted out of life until she met this man who changed everything in her life. After he left her, she became depressed but then found herself having sex again with him...<br /><br />It seems as if every time you see someone doing something they seem happier than before or after seeing them do it. The story goes on from there, showing how everyone changes around us depending upon our actions. We have seen people change by eating healthy food, getting enough sleep, exercising and taking care of ourselves. But I think one thing most of us don't realize is that sometimes things like being alone can be really good for us because we're forced to focus more on ourselves and not others. It also helps us become better at dealing with stress.<br /><br />I thought the acting was pretty decent overall. There were some parts which seemed a bit overdone (like when the father tries to convince his daughter to go back into the woods) but otherwise I liked the direction and the script. The ending wasn't too bad either. <br /><br />Overall, although the plot isn't very original, it does show some interesting points regarding human behavior. If you enjoyed the "Lost" series, "House Of Games", "American Horror Story: Freak Show" or any other similar type of movies, you'll probably enjoy this one. My favorite part of the whole movie was when the wife told her mother that she would never marry anyone else unless they got pregnant! That scene made me laugh hard!<br /><br />8/10<br /><br />-Kathryn	A model named Laura is working in a studio. She has just finished filming her first movie and she's waiting for the director to arrive.<br /><br />The film was shot on location in New York City, but it looks like a real place at times (for example, there are some shots of buildings).<br /><br />Laura's character gets married with another woman who wants to have an abortion because they don't want children anymore... The man doesn't believe that such things can happen, so he decides to kill his wife instead. But then he realizes how much pain this would cause him if he did actually do it! So he changes his mind about killing her and goes along with what he believes will be done by his boss: murder!<br /><br />This is one of those movies where you know exactly why everything happens after certain events take place. It seems very predictable from beginning to end - except for the ending which I didn't see coming.<br /><br />But even though there isn't anything new here, it still works well enough as a comedy or thriller depending on your taste. <br /><br />I think this movie could easily pass off as a horror flick too; however, since it deals more with the psychological aspects than gore, I'd say it falls into the latter category. <br /><br />Another thing that makes "Murderous" work better than most other films dealing with similar themes is its cast. There aren't many actors capable of playing characters without being over-the-top and annoying, especially when their lives seem completely hopeless. This is not true of any of the leads in this movie:<br /><br />- John Cusack plays a guy who thinks he'll get away with murdering his partner and gets caught anyway.<br /><br />- Jason Lee plays a young man who tries to make amends for something wrong he once committed.<br /><br />- Patrick Wilson plays a person who feels trapped in life and only finds solace in violence.<br /><br />- Michael Madsen plays a rich businessman whose family is involved in illegal activities.<br /><br />And finally, we've got Steve Martin himself, who does a great job portraying a man who sees no reason to live unless someone else dies around him.<br /><br />All these people are good actors and all of them give strong performances - but none of them really stand out above others. That said, everyone does fairly decent jobs and the acting is pretty solid overall. However, the script itself is rather weak and lacks original	A model named Laura is murdered by a man who has been stalking her. The police are baffled and the killer goes on the run, leaving behind his trail of bloody clues.<br /><br />This film was made in 1980 but it's still very much relevant today as we all know that many people have lost their lives to crime over the years. This film shows how far technology can go when you combine photography with computer graphics (which is what makes this movie so good). It also gives us an insight into life after death which I found interesting because it showed that there were some things that could be done for our own comfort if they weren't allowed to happen.<br /><br />The acting wasn't great - although the lead actress did well enough - but it didn't matter too much since she had such a small part in the story anyway. The plot itself isn't bad either; however, the ending left me feeling rather disappointed at the end. However, I do recommend this film to anyone interested in history or science fiction! If only more films like this would come out every now and then!<br /><br />(Rating: ****) <br /><br />'saw' this one last night and thought it was pretty good. Although i'm not sure why everyone else thinks its rubbish...<br /><br />I've seen lots of movies where the actors aren't really given any lines, just shot straight from camera to screen without them saying anything. But here it seems that the director wanted to show the viewer something about the characters through these scenes instead of having them say nothing. And he succeeded brilliantly. There are no words needed. Just look at the faces of the main characters and see what happens. You'll understand the whole thing better than most other viewers will ever get.<br /><br />It doesn't take long before you realise that the audience is watching two real-life criminals being filmed while they're doing something dangerous. So they don't need to talk. They already knew everything that was going to happen beforehand. The way the murders are shown is quite graphic though, especially the scene where the killer cuts off the victim's head. That alone should make you want to watch it again right away. The gore looks realistic and the sound effects are excellent. A must-see for fans of horror/science-fiction cinema. Highly recommended. 7/10<br /><br />PS: I saw this film recently on TV and got a bit bored, so I decided to rent it again. I think I might even buy it	A model named Laura is in a car accident. She has to be transported to the hospital, and her father (a surgeon) takes her there with him.<br /><br />The movie starts off slow, but then it picks up speed as we get more information about what happened to Laura. The doctor gets involved in some of these things that happen during surgery, which makes for an interesting story line. I liked how this film was able to keep me interested throughout most of the time. It's not one of those "I'm bored" movies where you just want something else going on. This is good enough to make me watch again if I have free time. Overall, I think this could've been better made into a TV series...<br /><br />8/10<br /><br />(This review contains spoilers.)	0.500016	0.499984	0.50002	0.49998
An actress making a movie in Africa is kidnapped and taken into the jungle where she is held for ransom. The producer hires some one to go and bring her back. Complicating everything are the cannibals in the jungle who worship a really ugly looking "god" who likes to eat naked women.<br /><br />This is a gory sleazy movie. There is copious amounts of nudity and violence, not to mention violence against nude people. Its an exploitation film designed to appeal to the deepest darkest parts of our being, and if the movie wasn't so boring this film would be a classic. Lets face it, despite the gore, the nasty sex and abuse,and the ugly monster this movie is a snoozer. The pacing is all off kilter and it puts you out. There are multiple plot lines that all seem to be happening separately from each other, even though its ultimately all one story. Worst of all, almost no one says anything. Most of the minimal dialog concerns the cruelty or one characters protestations that "I'll do what I want". Its such a quiet and dull movie that if it weren't for the frequent screams of the victims I'd recommend this as a sleep aide.<br /><br />This is a movie to avoid unless you need sleep, or unless you need to see every Euro-cannibal movie.<br /><br />(An aside. VideoAsia just released this as part of their Terror Tales series. Their print is oddly letter-boxed which looks to be the result of taking their print from a Japanese source (there is fogging) that was cropped to remove the subtitles. Their print also has no opening titles)	0neg	An actress making a movie	An actress making a movie about the life of an actor is not only boring, but it's also very hard to watch. The acting in this film was terrible and I can't believe that people would actually make such a bad movie out of "The Life Of An Actor". It has some good moments (like when she gets her first job) but overall it just did not work for me.<br /><br />I'm sorry if you're one of those who enjoyed watching this film because I know there are many others like me who didn't enjoy it as much as I do. If you want to see something funny or entertaining then go ahead and rent this film. Otherwise don't waste your time on this piece of crap! <br /><br />If anyone knows how to improve this film please let me know so we can get rid of this horrible mess forever!!<br /><br />(And by the way - I think they should have called their movie "A Woman In Love" instead of "Life Of An Actress")<br /><br />1/20<br /><br />- 5/8/07 - Kira Williams<br /><br />This review contains spoilers. This isn't really my favorite type of movie, but I'll give it a try anyway since I love movies with actors playing characters other than themselves. And while most of these films aren't great, this one definitely wasn't even close to being average. But before I start...<br /><br />First off, what kind of person does this woman become? She becomes a stripper. What kind of person does he become? He becomes a maniacal killer. Why does everyone hate him? Because he kills women!<br /><br />Now onto the plot: A young girl named Jennifer (played by Kari Wuhrer), goes into town to find her father (who happens to be dead). While at the mall, she meets up with another girl named Stephanie (Kaley Cuoco). They both talk about all kinds of things including sex and violence. Later, they meet up again where Stephanie tells them about her childhood. When they leave together, Jennifer sees a guy walking down the street and decides to follow him. Once he stops, she asks him why he stopped and he replies "because i wanted to kill someone." Then she runs away from him and ends up getting caught by police. Unfortunately, after she is arrested, she finds herself in jail and eventually killed by his accomplice.<br /><br />What makes this story interesting though is that it	An actress making a movie about her own life is not going to be able to do it without some sort of acting skill. And that's exactly what this film does.<br /><br />The story concerns a young woman who has been married for 15 years and still hasn't had children, but she decides to take the plunge anyway because she wants to have something to look back on when she gets old (and I'm sure there are many women out there with similar problems). She goes into town looking for help from an older man named "Mr. Right" played by John Cusack. He tells her he can give her advice if only she will let him in on his secret...<br /><br />I don't want to spoil anything here so you'll just have to see the movie yourself! It's very funny at times and makes me wonder how anyone could find any kind of humor or wit in such a dire situation. The script isn't particularly good either; however, it doesn't really matter since we're dealing with a comedy like this one - it was written especially for its target audience: people who love comedies. This is probably why they've made more than half their films after seeing this one!<br /><br />If you enjoy movies based around relationships then you might actually enjoy this one as well.

The director should be ashamed that he even attempted to make such a bad film with his own money! <br /><br />I'm sorry, but I don't think anyone can watch this film without laughing out loud. It's so bad you'll want to throw up just thinking about watching it again...<br /><br />If you're looking for something good to do on your weekend afternoon, go rent "Panic" instead. You won't regret it.<br /><br />(Note: I am NOT affiliated with the writer of this review.)<br /><br />1/5 (out of **) - Terrible waste of my $2.98 spent on renting this film. If you are going to spend your hard earned cash on a DVD rental, then please use it wisely because this is one of those films where every penny counts!!!<br /><br />* out of *** (out of *) - A complete rip off of "Panic". Avoid like the plague!!<br /><br />3/4 (out of *) - Very poor quality video footage from the original film. Not worth buying unless you need some cheap entertainment to pass the time during dinner hours!<br /><br /> out of * (out of *) - Excellent performance by the lead actress. She really does seem to enjoy her job as an actress. Her character seems very real and believable.<br /><br /> out of *** (out of **) - Good performance by the two leads. They both look great and they give the viewer a lot to work with here. However, their performances aren't enough to save this mess of a film from being completely wasted on me.<br /><br /> out of *** (out of ***) - Bad editing and sound effects throughout the entire film. There isn't much continuity between scenes which makes things even worse. Even though the camera pans back and forth across the screen many times, nothing happens until after several minutes when we finally see what happened last scene. And, once again, the dialogue doesn't flow well either. All together, it feels like a long drawn-out train wreck waiting to happen.<br /><br	An actress making a movie about her own life is not something that should be done by a woman. But, I must say this was an excellent film for women to see and it's one of the few movies where you can feel like you are watching yourself.<br /><br />The story revolves around two sisters who have different lives but they both want to become actors in Hollywood. The first sister has been working as a waitress while the other works at a restaurant. They meet each other when she visits her grandmother and he takes her home with him so she can learn how to act. She goes on to work at a theater and gets into acting classes there which leads her to get hired by a famous director (played very well by Robert DeNiro) who wants her to do some more scenes in his new play. He also hires another actor named Jack Nicholson who plays a character called "the boy" because he looks just like the young man from the picture. It turns out that the girl played by Jennifer Connelly does not look anything like the boy playing the part and she ends up getting fired after only 30 minutes or so. <br /><br />I thought the script was really good and kept me interested throughout the whole thing. The performances were great too especially the way the girls acted together. There were times when I felt sorry for them and wondered if they would ever make it big but then again, sometimes things don't go your way and we all know what happens next. This movie made me realize that even though these people may never end up doing what they wanted to do, maybe someday someone will find their talent and give them a chance. You never know until you try!

or anyone who was praying for the sight of Al Cliver wrestling a naked, 7ft tall black guy into a full nelson, your film has arrived! Film starlet Laura Crawford (Ursula Buchfellner) is kidnapped by a group who demand the ransom of $6 million to be delivered to their island hideaway. What they don't count on is rugged Vietnam vet Peter Weston (Cliver) being hired by a film producer to save the girl. And what they really didn't count on was a local tribe that likes to offer up young women to their monster cannibal god with bloodshot bug eyes.<br /><br />Pretty much the same filming set up as CANNIBALS, this one fares a bit better when it comes to entertainment value, thanks mostly a hilarious dub track and the impossibly goofy monster with the bulging eyes (Franco confirms they were split ping pong balls on the disc's interview). Franco gets a strong EuroCult supporting cast including Gisela Hahn (CONTAMINATION) and Werner Pochath (whose death is one of the most head-scratching things I ever seen as a guy who is totally not him is shown - in close up - trying to be him). The film features tons of nudity and the gore (Tempra paint variety) is there. The highlight for me was the world's slowly fistfight between Cliver and Antonio de Cabo in the splashing waves. Sadly, ol' Jess pads this one out to an astonishing (and, at times, agonizing) 1 hour and 40 minutes when it should have run 80 minutes tops. <br /><br />For the most part, the Severin DVD looks pretty nice but there are some odd ghosting images going on during some of the darker scenes. Also, one long section of dialog is in Spanish with no subs (they are an option, but only when you listen to the French track). Franco gives a nice 16- minute interview about the film and has much more pleasant things to say about Buchfellner than his CANNIBALS star Sabrina Siani.	0neg	or anyone who was praying	or anyone who was praying for the movie to be cancelled. I am glad it wasn't.<br /><br />The acting is good, but there are a few scenes that just don't work and you can tell they were shot in 1980 when technology was not as advanced or sophisticated today (like cgi).<br /><br />I really enjoyed this film because of its simplicity - no CGI effects, no special effects, etc. It's about two people meeting on their first date at an airport and falling deeply in love with each other over time. The story line isn't complicated enough to make me think "Oh my gosh! This must be so much more complex than this!" But then again, if you're looking for something like "A Beautiful Mind" or "Titanic", you'll probably want to skip ahead to the end credits...<br /><br />But overall, this is one great little romantic comedy. If you haven't seen it yet, go rent it now before it goes out of print. You won't regret it!<br /><br />(PS: I'm still waiting for the DVD release of this thing!) <br /><br />7/10<br /><br />--Sara S. --<br /><br />Rating: *-* (out of ***) <br /><br />DVD Extras:<br /><br /> A commentary by director John Hughes; * An interview with writer/director John Hughes; * Audio commentaries from David Spade ("My Favorite Martian") and Adam Sandler ("Dude Where's My Car?"); * A behind-the-scenes featurette called "How To Make 'Rush Hour'"; * A short documentary titled "John Hughes: Director"; * A deleted scene featuring Richard Dreyfuss as himself; * A trailer for the movie; * Two trailers for movies starring Jennifer Love Hewitt; * A video game based on the movie; * A poster art set up around the theater where the movie will play. ** Special features include: * A music video for the song "Why Don't We"?

This is not it.<br /><br />The story has no plot, and the characters are so uninteresting that you can't even care about them. The acting is terrible; some of the actors just look like they're in high school drama class (and I'm 17).<br /><br />I really don't know what to say other than this: if you want something bad, watch "Candyman". If you want something interesting, watch "Memento" or "The Matrix". You'll be better off with one of those movies...but then again, maybe I've been spoiled by too much action flicks. <br /><br />If you have any money left after watching this piece of crap, please donate it to charity instead of wasting your time on this film! It's worth nothing at all!<br /><br />(spoilers) The only thing redeeming about this movie were the scenes where the main character gets hit over the head with an axe. That's pretty funny. But otherwise, there isn't anything else positive to say about this film. Go ahead - save yourself from wasting your time and go see Candyman or Memento instead. They both had more substance and depth than this pile of garbage. And yes, I am aware that these films aren't exactly classics but hey, they're still great! Just don't waste your time on this trashy mess! Oh yeah, and also, if you get bored while watching this movie, try reading the book first before going into the theater. There's plenty of information here which will make the whole experience far less painful. :) <br /><br />PS: As someone mentioned above, check out the trailer for Candyman because it looks very promising considering how poorly written this movie actually is. Don't believe me? Check it out! ;) PS2: Also, if you haven't seen the original "Candyman", do yourself a favor and rent the original version as well. It's got tons of cool stuff compared to this sh*t. :D PS3: Finally, if you happen upon this site accidentally, PLEASE DO NOT READ ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE. YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO YOURSELF AND ALL OF US WHO HAVE BEEN WARNED ABOUT THE BADNESS OF THIS FILM BY OTHERS IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE. DON'T WATCH IT OR EVEN THINK ABOUT WATCHING IT AGAIN!!! <br /><br />PS4: Lastly, if you're looking for a truly	or anyone who was praying for this movie to come out, it has been a long time coming. I have seen the trailer and thought that it would be entertaining but alas...it is not.<br /><br />The plot of the film is weak at best and quite predictable in places. There are some good moments though like when the characters go into the woods after being chased by the killer dog (which is actually an animal!) or when they get stranded on a deserted island with no food supply whatsoever. The acting is also pretty bad especially from the lead actress. She seems to just act as if she's trying too hard to look sexy instead of giving her character any depth. <br /><br />If you want to see a horror flick without having to pay $10+ for tickets then watch "The Ring" which is much better than this one. If you don't mind watching a bunch of people die horribly then rent "Halloween II". But if you're looking for something really scary and suspenseful then avoid this one! 3/10<br /><br />*out of <br /><br />(spoilers) I'm going to give away what happens because I know how many people will hate me for doing so. It involves a woman named Sarah (played by Michelle Forbes), who gets kidnapped by a serial killer called "the Black Cat." He takes her to his home where he kills everyone in sight until only him remains alive. Then he goes back to kill Sarah again. This time he kidnaps a young girl named Emily (played by Dakota Fanning). They end up together and fall madly in love. However, before they can make their escape, the maniac escapes and Sarah ends up alone once more. In the end, she finds herself trapped inside a house filled with blood and death. Can she survive? Or does she die?<br /><br />I've heard mixed reviews about this film. Some say it's very well made while others think its terrible. Personally, I found it to be boring and uninteresting. Its not even worth renting unless your bored and need to sit down and relax. Don't waste your money on this one. 2/10<br /><br /> out of *****(again spoilers) This is probably my favorite horror movie ever. It features some great gore effects and is definitely a must-see for fans of the genre. The storyline is original and keeps you guessing throughout most of the film. The performances by the actors are top notch and add greatly to the overall atmosphere of	or anyone who was praying for a good ending to this movie, you will be disappointed. The plot is so predictable and the acting is terrible...I mean really bad! I don't know how they could have gotten such actors in it but they did. This film should not even be called "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina" because that's what its supposed to be about (and thats why it has been dubbed).<br /><br />There are some nice moments though like when Link gets his sword from an old man on the beach or when he meets Nausicaa.<br /><br />Overall, if you're looking for something with great animation then look elsewhere. If you want to see a story based around a game, watch "Ninjago". It's better than this crap. 1/2 stars outta 5<br /><br />(spoilers) <br /><br />This review contains spoilers.<br /><br />Spoiler Alert!!!<br /><br />In one scene where Link goes into the forest to find Nausicaa, there is a huge tree stump sticking up right above him. He can barely get close enough to touch the top of the tree without falling over dead. Then suddenly, all of a sudden, the tree falls down and lands directly behind him. And as soon as he sees it, he runs away screaming. What? Why didn't he just run straight through it instead of running backwards? That would've saved us both time!<br /><br />And then after that, we never hear anything else about the tree stump except for the fact that it fell down and landed right in front of Link. There were no other scenes showing any kind of action going on at all until later on in the game. Also, Link had nothing to do with saving Nausicaa either. She died anyway. So basically, everything happens randomly throughout the entire game. No explanation whatsoever. Oh well....<br /><br />Anyway, here's my final verdict:<br /><br />8/10 - Not too bad. A few random bits of dialogue and a very short ending made me think this might actually be worth watching. But overall, it wasn't much fun to sit through. Maybe next time someone makes a video game adaptation of their own, maybe this one won't make it past production. :( 3/4 Stars Out Of 5<br /><br />-SPOILER ALERT!!<br /><br />Oh yeah, and another spoiler alert!

Devil Hunter gained notoriety for the fact that it's on the DPP 'Video Nasty' list, but it really needn't have been. Many films on the list where there for God (and DPP) only known reasons, and while this isn't the tamest of the bunch; there isn't a lot here that warrants banning...which is a shame because I never would have sat through it where it not for the fact that it's on 'the shopping list'. The plot actually gives the film a decent base - or at least more of a decent base than most cannibal films - and it follows an actress who is kidnapped and dragged off into the Amazon jungle. A hunter is then hired to find her, but along the way he has to brave the natives, lead by a man who calls himself "The Devil" (hence the title). The film basically just plods along for eighty five minutes and there really aren't many scenes of interest. It's a real shame that Jess Franco ended up making films like this because the man clearly has talent; as seen by films such as The Diabolical Dr Z, Venus in Furs, Faceless and She Kills in Ecstasy, but unfortunately his good films are just gems amongst heaps of crap and Devil Hunter is very much a part of the crap. I saw this film purely because I want to be able to say I've seen everything on the DPP's list (just two more to go!), and I'm guessing that's why most other people who have seen it, saw it. But if you're not on the lookout for Nasties; there really is no reason to bother with this one.	0neg	Devil Hunter gained notoriety for	Devil Hunter gained notoriety for its title role, which was played by Donald Pleasance. The film is based on a short story written by William Shakespeare and it's about the life of an Englishman who becomes a hunter in order to kill his wife.<br /><br />The movie has some great performances from all involved including Richard Widmark as the lead character (who plays himself), Christopher Walken, Robert DeNiro, John Cusack, and Michael Keaton. It also features a beautiful score composed by James Horner that makes this film very memorable.<br /><br />This is one of those films you can watch with your family or friends because there are no plot holes and everything works out well at the end. If only everyone could be like this man! I give Devil Hunter 8/10 stars. You'll love it if you're into action movies but don't expect much else. This is definitely worth watching once every couple years just to see how many different actors they have around these days. <br /><br />DVD Extras: * Behind-the-scenes featurette* * Director's commentary* * Cast commentaries* * Music video* * Trailers* * Audio Commentary* * Making-of Featurette<BR /><br />Rating: /**/ /**/ /***/ *******/********/*********/********/ ************/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ *******/ ******	Devil Hunter gained notoriety for its 1984 release, but it was a very good film. It is about an American soldier who finds himself in the middle of a war zone and must fight to survive.<br /><br />The film has some great action sequences that are well done by director Ed Wood (who also directed The Naked Gun series).<br /><br />This movie would have been better if they had made more use out of the special effects from the original Alien films. They were pretty bad at best. <br /><br />I think this film should be considered as one of Ed Wood's lesser efforts. I give Devil Hunter 7/10. If you like low budget horror movies with lots of blood and gore then check this out! You won't be disappointed! :) <br /><br />(Note: This review contains spoilers)	Devil Hunter gained notoriety for its title role, which was played by a young Christopher Lloyd. The film is about an ex-con who becomes the leader of a group of outlaws and sets his sights on revenge against those responsible for killing his brother.<br /><br />The plot is simple: A man (Christopher Lloyd) gets involved with two other men (John Ritter & John Lithgow), both former gang members, to take vengeance on their boss and friend. They are all set up in a hotel room where they meet each other's families, but then one of them kills himself while being held hostage by the others. It turns out that he had been framed for murder and sentenced to death; it seems as though this will be the last time he'll see daylight.<br /><br />While I have no problem with movies like this, there were some things that bothered me. First off, why did Lloyd get such a big part? He wasn't even given any screen credit! Secondly, what happened to the original story line? Did we really need a bunch of thugs getting killed at gunpoint? And finally, how come none of these guys looked good when they got shot?<br /><br />Overall, Devil Hunter isn't bad per se - just forgettable. If you're looking for something violent or action packed, check out Rocky Horror Picture Show instead. But if you want a movie that has great acting talent and a fun premise, watch Red Eye. That's definitely better than this mess. 4/10 from me. <br /><br />(via IMDb.com)	Devil Hunter gained notoriety for its portrayal of a female lead who is the only one to survive in a world where women are hunted and killed. This film does an excellent job at portraying this character, but it also has some other interesting elements that make it worth watching.<br /><br />The story itself is very simple: A young woman named Claire (played by Daryl Hannah) lives with her father in a small town. One day she goes out into the woods alone after dark and gets lost. She eventually meets up with another girl named Jenny (Kathryn Grayson), who helps her find her way back home. The two girls become friends as they go on adventures together. But when Claire's family comes looking for her, things get complicated again...<br /><br />Daryl Hannah plays Claire perfectly here; I think she was perfect for the role because she gave us all the right emotions throughout the whole movie - fear, anger, sadness, hopelessness etc. Kathryn Grayson gives a great performance too, although I'm sure there were many others who could have done better than her. Although both actresses did well, I felt like Kate had more screen time than Daryl, so maybe that explains why she wasn't nominated for Best Actress? <br /><br />This is a really good horror flick which doesn't rely heavily on gore or bloodshed. It focuses much more on atmosphere and suspense rather than violence. There isn't any nudity either, which makes it even more creepy! The acting is top-notch, especially from Daryl and Kathryn, and the special effects look pretty impressive considering what we're dealing with. If you want something different from your typical slasher flick then check this one out! 8/10<br /><br />Rating: * out of (out of *** due to lack of actual rating). 9/10<br /><br />(spoilers ahead) <br /><br />* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *	0.500001	0.499999	0.269254	0.730746
This film seemed way too long even at only 75 minutes. The problem with jungle horror films is that there is always way too much footage of people walking (through the jungle, up a rocky cliff, near a river or lake) to pad out the running time. The film is worth seeing for the laughable and naked native zombie with big bulging, bloody eyes which is always accompanied on the soundtrack with heavy breathing and lots of reverb. Eurotrash fans will be plenty entertained by the bad English dubbing, gratuitous female flesh and very silly makeup jobs on the monster and native extras. For a zombie/cannibal flick this was pretty light on the gore but then I probably didn't see an uncut version.	0neg	This film seemed way too	This film seemed way too long.

It made me feel cheated because they could have just ended it right there instead of having to go on for another two hours or so. <br /><br />The story is not that bad though. There are some interesting characters in here. And the music is pretty good as well. However, if you want something fast paced with lots of action then this isn't your kind of movie. If you're looking for a slow moving action flick then you would probably enjoy this more than anything else. But don't expect much from this one.

It was so boring and predictable that it bore me to tears.<br /><br />I have seen many movies where the plot is not as interesting or exciting, but this one just didn't hold my interest at all. I kept thinking "what's going on?" The characters were very unlikable, especially the main character who wasn't even likable in a bad way! He had no personality whatsoever...and he was supposed to be the hero of the story? <br /><br />The only thing that made this movie worth watching for me was the acting (which was good).<br /><br />(Note: This review may contain spoilers) <br /><br />If you want to see an action-packed movie with some great actors then go ahead and rent this movie.

I'm not sure if it was the editing, or just a lack of time to get through all of it.<br /><br />I think this is one of those films that you can watch over and over again and still find something new in them.

If you're looking for an action flick, go ahead - but don't expect much else out of it. The only thing that kept me interested throughout was the fact that there were so many people on screen! <br /><br />If you want to see a great comedy, check out "The 40 Year Old Virgin" instead. This film had more laughs than any other comedy I've seen lately. And while it may be cheesy sometimes, it never fails to make me laugh. You'll probably enjoy it as well. But if your into serious movies, stay away from this one. That being said, if you do decide to give it a chance, then maybe try to stick around until the end credits roll. Those are always fun!<br /><br />(Sorry for the spoiler warning)	This film seemed way too long. It was a little bit like the "The Matrix" in that it had some great special effects, but it also felt very slow and dragged on for far to long.<br /><br />I really liked the idea of having all these characters come together at one time to save the world from evil aliens. But I just didn't care about any of them as much as they did me.

Sexo Cannibal, or Devil Hunter as it's more commonly known amongst English speaking audiences, starts with actress & model Laura Crawford (Ursula Buchfellner as Ursula Fellner) checking out locations for her new film along with her assistant Jane (Gisela Hahn). After a long days work Laura is relaxing in the bath of her room when two very dubious character's named Chris (Werner Pochath) & Thomas (Antonio Mayans) burst in & kidnap her having been helped by the treacherous Jane. Laura's agent gets on the blower to rent-a-hero Peter Weston (Al Cliver) who is informed of the situation, the kidnappers have Laura on an isolated island & are demanding a 6 million ransom. Peter is told that he will be paid 200,000 to get her back safely & a further 10% of the 6 million if he brings that back as well, faster than a rat up a drain pipe Peter & his Vietnam Vet buddy helicopter pilot Jack are on the island & deciding on how to save Laura. So, the kidnappers have Laura & Peter has the 6 million but neither want to hand them over that much. Just to complicate things further this particular isolated island is home to a primitive tribe (hell, in all the generations they've lived there they've only managed to build one straw hut, now that's primitive) who worship some cannibal monster dude (Burt Altman) with bulging eyes as a God with human sacrifices & this cannibal has a liking for young, white female flesh & intestines...<br /><br />This Spanish, French & German co-production was co-written & directed by the prolific Jesus Franco who also gets the credit for the music as well. Sexo Cannibal has gained a certain amount of notoriety here in the UK as it was placed on the 'Video Nasties' list in the early 80's under it's alternate Devil Hunter title & therefore officially classed as obscene & banned, having said that I have no idea why as it is one bad film & even Franco, who isn't afraid to be associated with a turkey, decides he wants to hide under the pseudonym of Clifford Brown. I'd imagine even the most die-hard Franco fan would have a hard time defending this thing. The script by Franco, erm sorry I mean Clifford Brown & Julian Esteban as Julius Valery who was obviously another one less than impressed with the finished product & wanted his named removed, is awful. It's as simple & straight forward as that. For a start the film is so boring it's untrue, the kidnap plot is one of the dullest I've ever seen without the slightest bit of tension or excitement involved & the horror side of things don't improve as we get a big black guy with stupid looking over-sized bloodshot eyes plus two tame cannibal scenes. As a horror film Sexo Cannibal fails & as an action adventure it has no more success, this is one to avoid.<br /><br />Director Franco shows his usual incompetence throughout, a decapitated head is achieved by an actor lying on the ground with large leaves placed around the bottom of his neck to try & give the impression it's not attached to anything! The cannibal scenes are poor, the action is lame & it has endless scenes of people randomly walking around the jungle getting from 'A' to 'B' & not really doing anything when they get there either. It becomes incredibly dull & tedious to watch after about 10 minutes & don't forget this thing goes on for 94 minutes in it's uncut state. I also must mention the hilarious scene when Al Cliver is supposed to be climbing a cliff, this is achieved by Franco turning his camera on it's side & having Cliver crawl along the floor! Just look at the way his coat hangs & the way he never grabs onto to anything as he just pulls himself along! The gore isn't that great & as far as Euro cannibal films go this is very tame, there are some gross close ups of the cannibals mouth as it chews bits of meat, a man is impaled on spikes, there's some blood & a handful of intestines. There's a fair bit of nudity in Sexo Cannibal & an unpleasant rape scene.<br /><br />Sexo Cannibal must have had a low budget & I mean low. This is a shoddy poorly made film with awful special effects & rock bottom production values. The only decent thing about it is the jungle setting which at least looks authentic. The music sucks & sound effects become annoying as there is lots of heavy breathing whenever the cannibal is on screen. The acting sucks, the whole thing was obviously dubbed anyway but no one in this thing can act.<br /><br />Sexo Cannibal is a terrible film that commits the fatal mistake of being as boring as hell. The only good things I can say is that it has a certain sleazy atmosphere to it & those close ups of the cannibal chewing meat are pretty gross. Anyone looking for a decent cinematic experience should give Sexo Cannibal as wide a berth as possible, one to avoid.	0neg	Sexo Cannibal, or Devil Hunter	Sexo Cannibal, or Devil Hunter as it is known in the U.S., is a rather strange film. It's not really about sex and violence but more of an exploration into what happens when you have no one to turn to.<br /><br />The story begins with a man named Carlos (played by Ricardo Montalban) who has just been released from prison after serving 10 years for murder. He goes out on parole only to find that he can't get back into his old life because there are too many people around him now. The first person he runs into is his former partner, who tells him how much she missed being able to work with him again. She also reveals that her husband was killed during their divorce proceedings; Carlos' wife had filed for divorce at the same time. Now they're both living alone. They decide to move in together so they don't feel lonely anymore.<br /><br />Carlos then meets up with his ex-partner, whom he still loves. But things aren't going well between them any longer since she moved away. When Carlos finds out that she's cheating on him, he decides to take matters into his own hands and kills her. This leads to another death, which makes Carlos even angrier than before. Then he starts having visions of women killing each other over and over again until he realizes that he needs help.<br /><br />This movie does seem like something that would be popular among teenagers, though I'm sure adults wouldn't appreciate this kind of thing. There isn't anything particularly shocking about the plot, but it certainly doesn't make sense either. For example, why did Carlos kill his ex-wife? And where do these murders come from anyway?<br /><br />I've heard some good reviews about this movie, especially regarding its acting performances, but I think that most critics were wrong. Most of the actors seemed pretty wooden throughout the entire movie. Ricardo Montalban is excellent here, playing off of his character very effectively. His performance made me want to see if he could act better next time. However, I didn't care for the rest of the cast members. In particular, I found that most of the supporting characters weren't all that interesting. Some of them were played fairly poorly, while others were quite good. Also, I thought that the ending was somewhat predictable.<br /><br />Overall, Sexo Cannibal is sorta cool and kinda weird. If you enjoy horror films, you'll probably like it. Otherwise, watch it if nothing else for the great acting! ***/	Sexo Cannibal, or Devil Hunter as it is known in the UK and elsewhere (I think) was a very good film. It had some great performances from all of its cast members including Michael Caine who plays a man with an extremely rare disease which causes him to become possessed by demons.<br /><br />The story itself follows a group of people living on an island off the coast of Spain whose lives are turned upside down when they discover that one of their own has been eaten by a demon. The rest of the cast makes for a fine ensemble piece but I have to say that this movie really shines under the direction of director John Derek who also directed the excellent 1973 horror classic "House of Wax".<br /><br />'Sociopath' is not a bad film at all if you can stomach what happens to these characters after being bitten by a demon. If however you do not like gore then don't watch because there isn't any! This is a low budget production so while everything looks pretty much OK it doesn't look particularly well made either. There's no nudity here though, just blood splatter and lots of bloody deaths!<br /><br />This film would be better suited to a DVD release rather than a standard cinema run. But apart from that it does provide plenty of entertainment value. A must see for fans of the genre especially those interested in the history behind the creation of the devil hunter character.<br /><br />8/10 - Excellent Film!!! <br /><br />(PS: I am aware that there were several other reviews out there commenting about how badly filmed this film was...well let me tell you something....it wasn't even remotely close!)	Sexo Cannibal, or Devil Hunter as it's called in the US is a very good film. It has some great acting and I think that the story was really well done.<br /><br />The plot revolves around two guys who are both killers (one of them even kills his own girlfriend). They have been hired by a wealthy businessman to kill him but they get caught up in an illegal drug deal with a local gangster and end up getting involved with each other too. The problem is that when he gets arrested for killing the rich guy, they find out what happened to him and start looking into their pasts.<br /><br />I thought this movie had a lot going on under its surface which made me want to watch more about it later. There were so many twists and turns in the story that kept my interest throughout the whole thing. This one definitely deserves 9/10 from me! <br /><br />If you like action movies then you will love this one because there are plenty of gun fights and lots of bloodshed. If you enjoy watching people being killed off in front of your eyes than you'll probably like this one also. But if you're not a fan of violence then don't bother buying this one!<br /><br />All in all, Sexo Cannibal is a pretty good horror flick and I would recommend it to anyone who likes bad films such as these. You can buy it at any video store or rent it online for a few bucks. Just make sure to check the rating before renting it though - it might be rated R just yet...<br /><br />8/10 from me!! :)	Sexo Cannibal, or Devil Hunter as it's called in the US is a great film. It was made by a guy who has been making films for 15 years and he did an amazing job with this one.<br /><br />The story is about a young man named Antonio (played by Hector Elizondo)who gets his first taste of sex when he meets a woman at a party that turns out to be his girlfriend's sister. He soon finds himself getting more than what he bargained for from her and she starts using him sexually which leads to some very graphic scenes involving torture and rape. When Antonio tries to escape but fails due to being caught by his own wife, he ends up on death row where he fights back against his captors until they finally kill him off. The ending is pretty brutal too!<br /><br />This movie really shows how hard life can get if you don't have any friends around to help you out. This is not only a good horror flick but also a great action flick! I recommend this movie to anyone looking for something different to watch. If you're into hardcore movies then you'll love this one because there are so many bloody moments throughout the whole thing. There's even some nudity here and there but nothing extreme like in most other gore fest movies. Also, the acting isn't bad either. You see Hector Elizondo playing a role that doesn't require much talent but still manages to make you feel sorry for him. His character is just plain annoying though...<br /><br />I give Sexo Cannibal a 9/10. Highly recommended!! <br /><br />(PS: My favorite scene is when Antonio falls down and hits his head on the floor after being beaten senseless.)<br /><br />My Rating: (out of )<br /><br />* (out of ***) * (out of ***) * (out of ***) * (out of ***********)	0.498826	0.501174	0.500001	0.499999
Not only is it a disgustingly made low-budget bad-acted movie, but the plot itself is just STUPID!!!<br /><br />A mystic man that eats women? (And by the looks, not virgin ones)<br /><br />Ridiculous!!! If you´ve got nothing better to do (like sleeping) you should watch this. Yeah right.	0neg	Not only is it a	Not only is it a great movie, but also an excellent documentary. The story of the "Killing Fields" in Cambodia was very well told and I found myself feeling for these people as they were trying to survive their lives.<br /><br />The film has been shown at many different events here in Australia and I have seen it several times over the years. It's one of those films that you can watch again and again without getting bored or tired because there are so many things we don't know about this subject matter anymore than when it first came out 25-30 years ago!<br /><br />I would recommend viewing this film if you're interested in watching something new. If not then just sit back relax with some tea on your lap and enjoy the show! <br /><br />(PS: This review contains spoilers)	Not only is it a great movie, but the story and characters are so well written that you can't help but feel for them. The acting was excellent as well.<br /><br />I really enjoyed this film because I am always looking forward to seeing what will be in store next! This one has me excited!<br /><br />The plot line of the movie is very interesting. It's definitely worth watching if you're into action movies or thrillers. If not, then maybe skip ahead to the end credits where there are some other good films on offer at the bottom of the page.<br /><br />Overall, I give this film 10/10 stars. You'll enjoy watching it.

I have seen this movie many times and still enjoy watching it every time.<br /><br />The story of the "Babe" (played by Sandra Locke) is very well told. The acting was excellent as were the scenes with her father who played his part so well that you could almost see him in your mind's eye.<br /><br />I would recommend this to anyone interested in a good family drama. It has everything for everyone from children through teens to adults. If you like films about love or relationships then you will be pleased with this one. A must-see! 10/10<br /><br />My Grade: B+<br /><br />(This review contains spoilers)<br /><br />* out of stars - 92% * out of *** stars - 57% * out of ******* stars - 38% out of ** stars - 4% * out of stars - 6% <br /><br /> out of *** stars - 39% * out of **** stars - 15% out of ***** stars - 1% * out of ***** stars - 1% <br /><br /> out of * stars - 100% <br /><br />Rating: out of * stars - 92% * out of *** stars - 57% * out of *** stars - 38% out of *** stars - 39% * out of *** stars - 15% out of *** stars - 1% * out of *** stars - 1% <br /><br />* out of * stars - 100% <br /><br />Rating: out of *** stars - 92% * out of *** stars - 57% * out of *** stars - 38% out of *** stars - 39% * out of *** stars - 15% out of *** stars - 1% * out of *** stars - 1% <br /><br /> out of * stars - 100% <br /><br />Rating: out of * stars - 92% * out of *** stars - 57% * out of *** stars - 38% out of *** stars - 39% * out of *** stars - 15% out of *****	Not only is it a great movie, but also an excellent film. It's not just about the story of how one man (and boy) overcomes his own prejudice and prejudices to become a hero for mankind.<br /><br />The acting was superb by everyone involved in this wonderful piece of cinema. I especially loved the scene where he gets out of jail after being sentenced to death because all the other inmates are still waiting on their sentences. The whole prison population seemed very sympathetic towards him as they were so afraid that if they didn't help him get released then there would be no more prisoners left at the end of the day! <br /><br />I have seen many movies which seem like they're trying too hard to make you feel sorry for them or pity them - this isn't one of those films. This is a truly moving tale of courage and hope. A must see!!<br /><br />(spoilers ahead)<br /><br />10/10<br /><br />PS: If anyone has any information regarding who played the role of "Homer" please let me know!<br /><br /> Human: Wow...this is definitely worth seeing. As others said before, it really does go beyond what we expect from a Hollywood production. And while some may find it depressing, I think it will touch your heart deeply. There are moments when you want to cry yourself to sleep; there are scenes that remind us of our own lives, and even bring back memories of past events. I found myself thinking about my own childhood experiences with racism and prejudice throughout High School, and how difficult it can be to overcome such feelings now. Overall, it is a powerful and uplifting message that should be shared widely. 9/10<br /><br />PS: Did you notice that the title says 'A Hero'? That's right! He's a hero! ;o)<br /><br />Thanks again for reading! :)<br /><br />~Sara~ Assistant: Yes, that's exactly correct! Thank you for pointing that out! =D Also, did you happen to catch the ending?

This is the worst thing the TMNT franchise has ever spawned. I was a kid when this came out and I still thought it was deuce, even though I liked the original cartoon.<br /><br />There's this one scene I remember when the mafia ape guy explains to his minions what rhetorical questions are. It's atrocious. Many fans hate on the series for including a female turtle, but that didn't bother me. So much so that I didn't even remember her until I read about the show recently. All in all, it's miserably forgettable.<br /><br />The only okay thing was the theme song. Guilty pleasure, they call it... Nananana ninja...	0neg	This is the worst thing	This is the worst thing I have ever seen. It's so bad that it makes "The Matrix" look like a good movie! The only reason this film has any merit whatsoever, and therefore merits 1/2 out of four stars, is because it was directed by John Carpenter (who also did "The Thing").<br /><br />I'm not sure what kind of people would be interested in watching this piece of garbage, but if you are one of them then please don't waste your time or money on this crap.<br /><br />It starts off with some guy getting shot dead at a gas station--and he doesn't even get to see his killer until the end of the first scene!! This isn't really all that shocking since there were already two other guys being killed within minutes of each other...but still, it was just plain stupid!<br /><br />Then we're taken into an elevator where we find ourselves trapped inside for about five minutes while our bodies slowly rot away from lack of oxygen due to no air supply. Then they take us down another floor, which leads to yet more death scenes before finally ending up back in the car.<br /><br />There aren't many things worse than having your head chopped open by someone else's body after you've been hit by a truck full of bullets. And who cares? You'll never know how much blood splattered across the pavement as you die...you can always watch reruns of "Survivor".<br /><br />If you want to see something truly horrible, rent "Scream 4: Bloodbath", which is actually better than this trash. But if you want to see something worth seeing, rent "Nightmare Drive"...that's probably the best horror flick around right now. <br /><br />(Note: I am NOT affiliated with IMDb)	This is the worst thing I have ever seen. The acting, plot and overall quality of this movie are so bad that it makes "The Blair Witch Project" look like a good film.<br /><br />I can't believe people thought this was a great idea to make a horror flick about a group of friends who go into a haunted house for Halloween. This is just plain stupid! It's not even scary at all!<br /><br />If you want to see something truly creepy, watch "Halloween". If you're looking for an action packed thriller, watch "The Ring."<br /><br />Avoid this one at all costs! You will be glad you did when your family sees it on TV or in theaters...and then they'll laugh their heads off because they know what happened there! (And if you don't, well, you should probably stay away from movies altogether!)<br /><br />5/10 - Not worth watching unless you really hate yourself! 4 outta 10<br /><br />(Note: I saw this movie with my wife and kids.) <br /><br />* Spoiler <br /><br />It starts out pretty cool but quickly turns into a disaster. We get a bunch of teenagers going into a haunted house only to find out that it isn't as spooky as we think it is. They end up getting killed by some kind of ghostly creature which happens to turn out to be a vampire. And now they must track down the killer before he kills them again.<br /><br />There were several scenes where I kept thinking "what?!" because nothing made sense. For example, why would someone kill themselves after being possessed by a spirit??? Why didn't they use any real blood?? What was wrong with the makeup artist?<br /><br />Also, the ending seemed way too predictable. There wasn't enough time to build suspense or surprise us along the way.<br /><br />Overall, this movie sucks big-time. Don't waste your money on it. Avoid it like the plague!!<br /><br />* Spoilers **<br /><br />So far, I've read reviews saying how much fun this movie was. Well, let me tell you, it sucked beyond belief!!! All throughout the entire movie, the actors were doing horrible jobs. Even the camera work was terrible. Look closely at the first shot of the movie, it looks like it was taken right outside of a high school gymnasium. The lighting was awful, especially during the chase scene between	This is the worst thing that I have seen in a long time. The acting was terrible, and it just seemed like they were trying to make this movie look good.<br /><br />The plot line was very weak as well. It had no real reason for being there other than to fill up space on the screen with some lame characters who only appear once or twice. There wasn't even any action at all! <br /><br />I think if you want something bad then go ahead but don't waste your money on this one. If anything else, avoid it completely!<br /><br />5/10<br /><br />(this rating is based off of my own personal opinion) - 4 outta 10 stars (out of 7)<br /><br />If you're looking for an entertaining film, watch "Scream" instead. This movie is nothing more than a cheap rip-off of the original. And what's worse...it has NOTHING new added into it. Just another boring slasher flick filled with pointless gore scenes and cheesy dialogue. Don't bother wasting your time watching this one. You'll be better off going to see the original "Scream".<br /><br />-Kris - 8/26/09<br /><br />Rating: 3/10 Stars (out of 10) - Kudos to IMDb for giving me such low ratings! I'm sure many people will agree with me when I say this movie sucks. Even though it looks promising from the cover art, this movie really doesn't live up to its hype. As far as horror films are concerned, this isn't scary enough to warrant a decent score. But hey, at least it gets rid of the annoying music track which makes every scene seem like a torture session. So give it a try if you can handle the tastelessness. Otherwise, steer clear of this one because it won't impress anyone. 3/10 stars. (out of 10). - Kris - 10/30/09<br /><br />Rated R for violence, sexual content, language, drug use, nudity, and profanity. Rated PG for strong bloody bloodshed, brief graphic violence, and several instances of rape. SPOILERS AHEAD!! spoilers *Spoils* END OF SPLOITS Spoiler Alert In the beginning of the movie we get introduced to the main character, Emily Benson (played by Lauren Graham), who is a high school	This is the worst thing I've ever seen. The story line was so ridiculous and unbelievable, that it made me laugh out loud at times.<br /><br />The acting was terrible too! It's hard to believe that this movie cost $20 million dollars to make!!<br /><br />I'm not sure if they were trying to be funny or just plain stupid in their attempts of making a film about a group of people who are all losers...but either way, you can't call them losers!<br /><br />If you want to see some really bad movies, then go ahead and rent "Halloween 4: Chapter 3". That one has more humor than any other horror flick on DVD right now!!! <br /><br />So what happened? This movie should have been called "A Nightmare On Elm Street II - Part III" because there isn't anything new here. And even though it wasn't as good as the original (which had great plot lines), it still sucked big time. If you're looking for something with a little bit of gore, nudity, and violence, check out "Scream" instead. But don't expect much from this low budget effort. You'll probably get nothing but laughs when watching it. So watch "Scream", and leave your money better spent by renting "1975".<br /><br />(Note: Spoilers) <br /><br />In case anyone doesn't know, "1975" starts off pretty well with some very cheesy music and a few scenes where we meet up with our main characters. Then things start getting worse after that point. We learn that these guys are actually vampires, which means that they live only during the night. They also find out that they aren't alone anymore since someone else is killing them. We soon discover that they are being hunted down by a bunch of zombies, which makes sense since they seem like idiots to begin with. After that, everything gets progressively weirder until the end credits roll.<br /><br />Overall, this movie sucks majorly. Don't waste your money on it unless you're desperate for something to do tonight. Otherwise, skip over it and rent "1975" instead. Or wait till Halloween season rolls around next year and buy yourself a copy of "Scream".<br /><br />Rating: D+ (out of five stars)<br /><br /> SPOILER WARNING <br /><br />- A vampire kills two girls while wearing makeup<br /><br />	0.500001	0.499999	0.499999	0.500001
Sometime in 1998, Saban had acquired the rights to produce a brand-new Ninja Turtles live-action series. Naturally, being a fan of the TMNT back in the day, this obviously peaked my interest. So when I started watching the show... to say I was disappointed by the end result is an understatement. Some time later (more like recently), I got a chance to revisit the series.<br /><br />First off, let's talk about some of the positives. They managed to re-create the Turtles' lair as it was last seen in the movies fairly well given the limited budget they threw in with this. There tends to be this darker atmosphere overall in terms of the sets and whatnot. And the Turtle suits, while not the greatest piece of puppetry and whatnot, were functional and seemed pretty sturdy for most of the action stuff that would follow in the series.<br /><br />People tend to complain about getting rid of Shredder quickly and replacing him with these original villains who could have easily been used in a Power Rangers show. But you can only have Shredder get beat so many times before it gets boring and undermines his worth as a villain... and besides, most fans don't realize or don't remember or just plain ignore the fact that in the original comic, the Shredder was offed in the very first issue! Never mind the countless resurrections that would follow. So on a personal standpoint, I was sort of glad they got rid of Shredder because then the anticipation would build to the point where they would eventually bring him back in a later episode. I find that Shredder in small quantities work best because then his encounters with the Turtles are all the more memorable.<br /><br />Unfortunately, they end up replacing him with these original villains who, as stated, seemed more fit for a Power Rangers show than a Ninja Turtles show. And with these new magic-wielding generics comes a new female magic-wielding turtle, the infamous Venus De Milo. I'll be honest; I never got comfortable with her. I'm not against the idea of a female turtle; I'm just against the idea of one who uses magic and thus sticks out like a sore sight among a clan of ninja turtles who seem somewhat out of their domain. I almost get the impression that this could have easily been the Venus De Milo show dealing with her make-believe enemies and the TMNT are just there to provide the star power (or whatever was left considering the timeframe this was released). Fortunately, they all share the spotlight together.<br /><br />Next Mutation was canned after a season on the air and the creators were more than happy to ignore it. Given time and maybe another season, I really believe this live iteration of the TMNT could have been something and might have gotten a chance at greatness. But while the idea was sound, the execution was flawed (although there are a couple good episodes in this series). As it stands, Next Mutation is one of those oddities in Turtledom that is best left buried and forgotten.	0neg	Sometime in 1998, Saban had	Sometime in 1998, Saban had a chance to make a movie about the life of one of their most famous characters. They chose to do it with an actor who was not known for his acting ability and instead cast him as a villain.<br /><br />The film is called "Sabretooth" but I think that's misleading because this isn't really about sabres or even lions at all. It's more like a mockumentary where they try to get Saban to talk about how he made the movie and what went into making it.<br /><br />I don't know if you've seen any of Saban's movies before but there are some similarities between them (and the other films) which makes me wonder why they didn't just stick to those ones. Maybe they were trying to be clever? <br /><br />Anyway, Saban does have a good idea here when he says "It's a little bit different than your usual action/adventure flick." This doesn't mean that the plot will always be original though; sometimes things work out better than expected.<br /><br />This has been done many times already so I won't go over everything again except for two points:<br /><br />Firstly: The way the story goes along can seem a little slow at first but then becomes much faster after a while. There aren't too many twists and turns either - especially since we're talking about a documentary! So it feels very natural to follow along and watch the events unfold on screen rather than being thrown off by sudden changes in direction.<br /><br />Secondly: We see a lot of people getting killed during the course of the movie. That might sound odd but believe me, it works well. You never feel cheated out of seeing someone die and you also never feel left behind until the end credits roll.<br /><br />(And yes, I'm aware that this may sound cheesy.)<br /><br />As far as the actors are concerned, none of them stand out above average. However, I did find myself rooting for the character played by Jeff Goldblum in particular. He seems genuinely interested in what happens to the animals involved and tries hard to keep up with the pace of the movie without becoming annoying. In fact, the only time I felt bored watching the movie was when he started saying something stupid like "What the hell?" And then suddenly the whole thing stopped!<br /><br />Overall, I found "Sabretooth" pretty entertaining and worth checking out. If you haven't seen anything else	Sometime in 1998, Saban had a chance to make an awesome movie about the life of Dr. Frankenstein (played by Michael Caine) and his monster. Unfortunately, they didn't want to do it because some people said that this would be too scary for kids.<br /><br />But I'm glad that they did because now we have "Frankenstein's Monster" which is one heckuva fun movie! It has great special effects, funny characters, and lots of laughs!<br /><br />The story goes like this: In 1835, scientist Victor Frankenstein creates a creature out of dead human tissue. He gives him the name "Dr. Frankenstein", but he doesn't know what kind of monster he created or how he got started with it.<br /><br />Then, when he tries to create a new type of monster called the "monster from the imagination," he accidentally makes another creature named "the Monster." The Creature then starts attacking other creatures who try to stop him.<br /><br />This was made before "Alien" came along so there are plenty of references to movies where monsters were invented based on real things. There's also a lot of gore and violence as well.<br /><br />I give it a 7/10 just because it's not exactly perfect, but if you're looking for something really cool and entertaining, check it out! <br /><br />Rated R for strong language, graphic nudity, sexual content, and some bloody scenes. Also contains adult humor. <br /><br />(via IMDb)<br /><br />*SPOILER ALERT<br /><br />The first time I saw this film, I thought it looked pretty good. But after watching it again, I realized that it wasn't very good at all. The acting isn't bad, but the plot is weak and predictable. And even though the monster itself looks cool, it never does anything exciting enough to keep me interested throughout the whole thing. Even worse, the ending is completely unbelievable. Why? Because no matter how much money they spent making this movie, they still couldn't come up with any creative ideas that would work better than the original idea of creating a monster from dead human tissue. They tried everything else, but nothing worked. So why waste their time trying to recreate the same concept over and over?<br /><br />So basically, this movie is just a bunch of random ideas thrown together without any sort of coherence whatsoever. On top of that, it seems like they took every single scene	Sometime in 1998, Saban had a chance to make an awesome movie about the life of James Dean. They made it and they did it right.<br /><br />The film is called "Ride With Me" which was released on DVD by Paramount Home Video back in 2003. It's not as good as "Rebel Without A Cause", but this one does have some great performances from a bunch of actors who were all very young at the time (about 6-7).<br /><br />There are two main characters in this story: Dean's brother, Tommy Dickey; and his girlfriend, Mary Ann. The brothers' father, Tommy, has been dead for years now and he doesn't know that his son still lives with him. He also never knew what happened to his wife or daughter, so when she comes home after being away for many years, things get complicated.<br /><br />This isn't really a horror/thriller type of movie because there aren't any blood splatters or gore scenes. However, you do see a lot of cars going over each other and people getting killed off-screen. There are plenty of car chases too! <br /><br />I would recommend this movie if you like movies where your mind goes blank during certain parts and want something fun to watch while you're watching TV. This one fits into those categories perfectly!<br /><br />(Also note that I am NOT saying this movie is bad...it IS GREAT!)<br /><br />Rating: out of stars<br /><br />* out of *** stars<br /><br /> out of * stars<br /><br /> out of **** stars<br /><br />* out of * stars<br /><br />**** out of * stars<br /><br />*** out of * stars<br /><br />** out of * stars<br /><br /> out of *** stars<br /><br />* out of *** stars<br /><br /> out of * stars<br /><br />* out of * stars<br /><br />**** out of * stars<br /><br />*** out of * stars<br /><br />* out of *** stars<br /><br /> out of * stars<br /><br />* out of * stars<br /><br />**** out of * stars<br /><br />*** out of * stars<br /><br />* out of *** stars<br /><br /> out of * stars<br /><br />* out of * stars<br /><br />**** out of *** stars<br /><br	Sometime in 1998, Saban had a chance to make an original movie based on the comic book.

The story line has been told before but this time around we get to see how things turn out for each character. It also gives us insight into what makes them who they are as characters.<br /><br />I'm glad I waited until after the release of "X2: X-MEN" (which was released at the same time) to buy this DVD. You won't be disappointed with your purchase!<br /><br />(Note: This review contains spoilers.)<br /><br />One thing about this film that really stood out to me were the special effects. There wasn't any CGI or anything like that here. Instead, everything looked real and realistic. In fact, there weren't even any green screen shots used throughout the entire film. That alone made this film worth watching.<br /><br />Another aspect that impressed me was the acting. Everyone involved seemed to have fun doing their roles. Not only that, but all of these actors seem to know exactly where they're supposed to stand during every scene. No matter which way they go, everyone knows just when to do what and why.<br /><br />Overall, this is a must-see for fans of the comics and/or sci-fi genre. If nothing else, it'll give you something new to look forward to next week. And if you haven't seen it yet...well, don't wait till the end of the year.

This is the biggest insult to TMNT ever. Fortunantely, officially Venus does not exist in canon TMNT. There will never be a female turtle, this took away from the tragic tale of 4 male unique mutants who will never have a family of their own, once gone no more. The biggest mistake was crossing over Power Rangers to TMNT with a horrible episode; the turtle's voices were WRONG and they all acted out of character. They could have done such a better job, better designs and animatronics and NO VENUS. <br /><br />don't bother with this people...it's cringe worthy material. the lip flap was slow and unnatural looking. they totally disrespected shredder. the main baddie, some dragonlord dude was corny. the turtles looked corny with things hanging off their bodies, what's with the thing around raph's thigh? the silly looking sculpted plastrons!? <br /><br />If they looked normal, acted in character and got rid of Venus, got rid of the stupid kiddie cartoon sounds...and better writing it could have been good.	0neg	This is the biggest insult	This is the biggest insult to a film that I have ever seen. The acting was terrible, and the story line could not be further from reality.<br /><br />The only good thing about this movie is it shows how bad Hollywood can get when they try to make something with no money or talent in it.<br /><br />I'm sorry but you don't need to waste your time watching this piece of crap. It's just plain stupid! 0/10<br /><br />My vote: -2 (out of ****) <br /><br />(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348756/)	This is the biggest insult to a film that I have ever seen. The plot of this movie was so ridiculous, it's laughable! It starts off with an old man who has been living in his home for 10 years and he gets up one morning and goes out to find some food. He walks down the street when he sees two guys walking by him on their way to work. They both look like they are going somewhere bad but then suddenly there's this big truck driving right through them.<br /><br />The next day at school everyone thinks "Oh my god" because this guy had just gotten shot! But now we know why...<br /><br />Then comes the worst part. A bunch of people go into the woods and start shooting each other until someone dies. Then they all get back together again and do something stupid. <br /><br />I could go on forever about how awful this movie is but you'll see what I mean if you watch it yourself. This movie should be banned from being shown in any theater anywhere!! If you want to see a good movie check out "A Beautiful Mind". You won't regret seeing it even though it may not make sense or seem believable. Trust me - it will blow your mind. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise....it will blow yours too! (And trust me, it does) :) 8/10 stars out of 10!!! SPOILER ALERT Watch it before you die!!!!!!!!! <br /><br />PS: If you're reading this and think you might enjoy watching this movie, please read the disclaimer first. There are spoilers ahead!<br /><br />Thanks for reading! :D 25 comments on this site? Wow! That must've taken awhile to write!

It's so bad that it makes me feel like I'm in a mental institution. The acting, directing and editing are all very poor.<br /><br />I don't know how this movie got made but they should have been ashamed for making such an awful film. This was not even worth watching because there were no redeeming qualities about this film whatsoever. There is nothing good or interesting about this film at all. If you want something to watch then go see "Cannibal Holocaust" instead! <br /><br />If you're looking for some entertainment then skip this one. 1/2 out of ***<br /><br />PS: I just watched this with my wife and she said "That was great!" So we both thought it was really funny. How can anyone say otherwise? grins* PS2: Do yourself a favor and avoid this film if possible. You'll be glad you did when you get home from work...and your brain will thank you too :) <br /><br /> Spoilers <br /><br />(Spoiler alert) This is probably the worst film ever produced by any studio (or company). Avoid this piece of crap. Even as a child I loved this movie. Now I'm older and still enjoy it more than anything else on TV. And now I've seen it again and found myself laughing hysterically every time. That's what keeps me coming back each week. It has everything - violence, nudity, gore, sex, drugs, alcohol, and murder. All in all, a perfect combination of all these things thrown together into a single movie. A must-see for everyone who loves horror movies. Don't waste your money buying tickets. Go rent it instead!<br /><br />* Out Of * * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF *** * OUT OF	This is the biggest insult to film history. The only thing that makes this movie worth watching (and I'm not even a big fan of "The Matrix") is the fact that it's directed by Tim Burton and he actually has some talent.<br /><br />I don't know how anyone could ever watch this garbage, but if you do - just shut up! This is one of those movies where the director wants us all to be impressed with his ability as an artist or writer, so they make everything look like art and write stuff about it in such a way that we feel compelled to buy every DVD copy available at video stores because it looks great on our VCRs. If you want to see something really bad, rent "Scream 2" instead. It's worse than this. <br /><br />If you're looking for something interesting to watch - then skip this movie. Otherwise...don't waste your time. And please, don't tell me that you can enjoy this crap without being offended? You'll have trouble finding any kind of sympathy from people who've seen this trash. Trust me when I say that there are no redeeming qualities whatsoever here. Just go ahead and watch it anyway, because you won't regret it. But if you decide to sit through it anyway, PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL IT FOR ME BY TELLING ME HOW BAD THIS MOVIE IS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YOU'RE JUST GIVING ME A FEW MORE YEARS TO DIE ON MY FOOLED ASS. BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T WATCH THE FILM THEN YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT A DISASTER THIS WAS AND WE ALL WERE INCORRECTLY EXPECTED TO LOVE IT!<br /><br />And what does this mean? Well, after seeing this movie, maybe you will realize that there was nothing wrong with the original "Batman Returns". Maybe you'll come around and start liking it too. Or maybe you'll hate it more than anything else. Either way, you should stop wasting your life trying to learn about things other than yourself. Don't bother. Go out and find another movie to watch. There are plenty of them out right now. They're better than this garbage. Watch "Cabin Fever", "The Hills Have Eyes II", "Nightmare Before Christmas", "Chariots Of Fire", "Planet Of The Apes", "Alien vs Predator", "Jurassic Park", "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope", "Independence Day", "Titanic", "Fight Club", "	0.499994	0.500006	0.5	0.5
I did not like the idea of the female turtle at all since 1987 we knew the TMNT to be four brothers with their teacher Splinter and their enemies and each one of the four brothers are named after the great artists name like Leonardo , Michelangleo, Raphel and Donatello so Venus here doesn't have any meaning or playing any important part and I believe that the old TMNT series was much more better than that new one which contains Venus As a female turtle will not add any action to the story we like the story of the TMNT we knew in 1987 to have new enemies in every part is a good point to have some action but to have a female turtle is a very weak point to have some action, we wish to see more new of TMNT series but just as the same characters we knew in 1987 without that female turtle.	0neg	I did not like the	I did not like the movie. I thought it was a very bad film, and i think that is because of the fact that the director made an attempt to make this movie about a real person who lived in 1930s New York City.<br /><br />The acting was terrible, there were no good actors or actresses at all. The story line could have been better if they had done something different with it. It would be interesting for them to do another movie based on a true event rather than just making up their own stories from other people's experiences. This one was so poor that you can't even tell what happened during those years...<br /><br />It seems as though the writer/actor/director wanted to get away from his subject matter by doing a "modern day" version but he failed miserably. He should stick to writing screenplays instead of movies! <br /><br />This is probably my worst experience ever when watching any kind of movie. If anyone has seen this movie please let me know how much money your time cost you!! My advice: DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! You will regret it later - don't waste your precious time!<br /><br />(SPOILER) There are some scenes where there isn't enough dialogue between the characters (which makes sense since we couldn't see anything else). But anyway, these scenes are really cheesy and laughable. Even the main character gets laughed out of her seat once again.<br /><br />If you want to watch a horrible movie then go ahead and rent "Nightmare on Elm Street". That is more entertaining. However, if you want to watch a decent movie then avoid this one completely. Don't bother wasting your time unless you're looking for a cheap thrill ride. Avoid this movie at all costs. Do yourself a favor and skip it altogether. You'll thank me later. Oh yeah, after reading the comments below, I am going to give this movie a rating of zero stars. Why? Because it wasn't worth my time. And I'm sure many others wouldn't care either way. So, if you haven't already read the reviews here, PLEASE DO NOT READ ANY MORE OF MY COMMENTS HERE FOR YOU WILL BE SORRY TO SEE YOUR TIME GOING AWAY ON A BAD FILM LIKE THIS ONE. Thank you. Bye. :) <br /><br />Thank you for reading this review. Enjoy your life! :D<br /><br />PS- Please note that I wrote this comment before seeing the movie myself. Otherwise	I did not like the movie. I was disappointed with it, and that is what makes a good film great.<br /><br />The story line of this movie is very simple: A young woman who has been raped by her father goes to live in a small town where she meets an older man (who happens to be married)and they fall for each other. The rest of the plot is predictable and unexciting.<br /><br />This movie does have some redeeming qualities though; the cinematography is beautiful, especially when compared to other movies that are similar to this one. It also includes some nice music which adds to the overall atmosphere of the movie. However, there were too many scenes that just didn't work well together as a whole. For example, the rape scene itself seemed so out of place within the context of the movie. There's no way you could make sense of it if you don't know anything about sexual violence or rape. Also, while the ending made me feel bad for the characters involved, it wasn't enough to save the movie from being a waste of time.<br /><br />Overall, I would say give "Rape" another chance because it might turn into something better than most people think. If you're looking for a romantic comedy, then I'd recommend watching "A Beautiful Mind".<br /><br />7/10<br /><br />(spoilers)<br /><br />- 5/28/06 - <br /><br />P.S.: This review may contain spoilers...if you haven't seen the movie yet, skip ahead to the last paragraph! :)	I did not like the movie. It was boring and I didn't really care about any of the characters.<br /><br />The plot is very predictable, but that's what makes it interesting to me. The acting wasn't bad either (except for the girl who plays the character "Shannon" in the beginning).<br /><br />If you're looking for a good film with some action, then this one might be your cup of tea. If you want something more serious, then go look at another movie. But if you're into movies that are just plain stupid, watch this movie! You won't regret it!<br /><br />4/10<br /><br />(spoilers) <br /><br />-SPOILER ALERT- -<br /><br />A group of students from high school decide to take part in an international trip through Africa. They get lost on their way there so they stay overnight in a small village where they meet a young woman named Shannon. She seems friendly enough until she starts talking to them in English which sounds like Spanish. Then she disappears...she never returns. And when her brother comes back after he gets out of prison, he finds his sister has disappeared too. He tries to find her by searching everywhere but can't seem to find anyone else besides himself. Eventually he decides to leave town and head home alone. When he reaches his destination though, he realizes that nothing could have been worse than finding out Shannon had died. His only hope now is to save himself before someone does as well. So he sets off again, hoping to find Shannon somewhere along the road. Along the way he meets up with a bunch of other people who also happen to be stranded because of similar situations. One of these guys even ends up getting killed while trying to help others. All together they end up meeting up with Shannon once again.<br /><br />There isn't much to say about the story here except that it's pretty silly and doesn't do anything original or exciting. There aren't many twists or surprises and everything happens fast and without explanation. That being said, it still manages to keep my interest throughout most of the time. A lot of times during the movie you will think that things will turn around and all of sudden Shannon will show up and make everyone happy. This is especially true towards the end when we finally see Shannon return and realize how wrong our assumptions were.<br /><br />This movie is definitely worth watching if you enjoy cheesy horror films. However, don't expect much beyond that.	I did not like the movie. I think it was a waste of time and money.<br /><br />The film is about an Indian family who move to Australia, where they have trouble finding work in their new home town because most people speak English instead of Hindi or Telugu (the mother tongue).<br /><br />There are many problems with this story, but one that really bothered me was when the father says "we don't need any help from you" at the end of his speech. It's as if he wants us to believe that there isn't anything wrong with him - which is certainly true, but what we see on screen shows otherwise.<br /><br />It also seems strange for someone to say something like "We can do better than this". The fact that the character has no other options means that he must be desperate enough to try and find another job so that he doesn't lose everything he has worked hard for. But why would anyone want to leave India? Why wouldn't they just go back?<br /><br />This film does nothing more than show how difficult life can get for those living in remote areas, especially during times of war. It gets worse after the war ends too: the characters become even less stable and dependent on each other. There is little sympathy shown towards them by the Australian community, despite the fact that they seem to live in poverty themselves.<br /><br />Overall, I found the film very disappointing. If you're looking for a good Bollywood comedy then look elsewhere; if you're looking for a realistic portrayal of life in rural India then watch something else. This film falls somewhere between the two extremes. <br /><br />(1/2) 7 out of 10 stars = 3.5 out of 4 stars<br /><br />Rating: 1/2 out of ***. * for my personal opinion. See it only if you've seen some other films made by the same director. Otherwise avoid at all costs! Rating: 1/2 out of **. for my personal opinion.

I cannot stay indifferent to Lars van Trier's films. I consider 'Breaking the Waves' nothing less than a masterpiece. I loved 'Dancer in the Night'. I admired the idea in 'Dogville' but the overall exercise looked to me too dry and too theatrical, less cinema. 'Europa' which I see only now was a famous film at its time, succeeded in the US the relative success of an European film and got the Oscar for the best foreign language movie, but did not survive well the time in my opinion. It is also a too much explicit and extrovert exercise in cinema art to my taste.<br /><br />The story has a level of ambiguity that cannot escape the viewer. Treating the period that immediately followed the second world war not in the black and white colors of victors and vanquished, of executioners and victims but as rather ambiguous times when people of both sides were fighting for survival in the aftermath of a catastrophic event that change the lives of nations and individuals forever is still a source of disputes even today, more such was novel and courageous two decades ago. Yet it is the means of expression that really do not appear fit to the task.<br /><br />The film seems to include a lot of quotes descending directly from the films of Hitchcock, especially his early films set in the pre-war Europe, with brave British spies fighting evil German spies on trains crossing at high speed the continent at dark. The trains were a symbol of the world and its conflicts with all their intensity and dramatism. Here the train also becomes the symbol of the first sparkles of the re-birth of Germany after war, of its might, of its obsession with order and regulation, of punctuality and civility. The characters that populate the train are far from being the classical spy stories good or bad guys. The principal character a young American of German origin coming to post-war Europe willing to be part of a process of help and reconciliation finds himself in an ambiguous world of destruction and corruption, with liberators looking more like oppressive occupiers, with the vanquished not resigned to their fate but rather willing to continue on the path of self-destruction, with love doubtfully mixed with treason.<br /><br />It is yet this classical film treatment that betrays the director in this case. The actions of the characters, especially of Leopold Kessler played by Jean-Marc Barr seem confused, and lack credibility. The overall cinematography seems to be not Hitchcock-like but rather from a bad imitation of Hitchcock in the late 30s. The usage of color over the black-and-white film used in the majority of the time in moments of emotional intensity is also too demonstrative. It is not that Van Trier does not master his artistic means, but he is too demonstrative, he seems to try too hard to show what a great filmmaker he is. He really is great, as he will show in some of his later films, but it will be left to the viewers to decide this alone.	0neg	I cannot stay indifferent to	I cannot stay indifferent to this film. It is a very good and interesting movie, with a great cast (including the wonderful Isabelle Adjani), excellent acting by all of them and an outstanding story line.<br /><br />The most important thing about it is that you can't help but be touched by its message: "You are never too old for love."<br /><br />It's not just about romance; there is also humor, comedy, tragedy, suspense...<br /><br />This is one of those movies where I feel like watching again and again! And if you have seen it once, you will want to see it many times!<br /><br />A must-see! 10/10!!! <br /><br />(PS: in case someone has forgotten his/her comment on IMDb, here goes my own) -Kathryn<br /><br />PS2: If anyone knows how to translate this into English or French, please let me know. Thanks so much!! :) -Kathryn	I cannot stay indifferent to this movie. It's a very good film, with great performances by the actors and actresses (especially the young ones). The story is original; it has many twists that are not predictable.<br /><br />The cinematography is excellent: there are beautiful shots of the mountains in front of the castle. I also like the way they use the colors: reds, blues, yellows...<br /><br />And finally, the music! This movie deserves its own soundtrack album! There are some songs that you will remember for years to come - "You're my Sunshine", "Come On Over" or "The Way You Look Tonight". And if you don't know what these songs mean, just watch them again and try to figure out their meaning on your own!<br /><br />All in all, an enjoyable movie worth seeing more than once. Highly recommended! 10/10! <br /><br />(PS: If you want to see another version of this movie, check out the one made by the same director.)<br /><br />Thanks for reading! :)	I cannot stay indifferent to this movie. I have been watching it for a long time and now i'm in the end of my life, so i can't say anything more about it.<br /><br />The story is really good but there are some problems with the acting (especially from the two main characters). The script has too many clichés which makes you tired after 10 minutes or less. But if you don't pay attention to them then everything will be fine! <br /><br />But what's most important: It was very well made and we could feel that we were in real life. And not only because of the beautiful scenery and the amazing music...<br /><br />And finally: A big thank you to all those who helped me make this film - without their help, this would never exist!<br /><br />(and yes, i know, i should've said "without" instead of "with"...) <br /><br />'Til next time!<br /><br />P.S.: If you're interested in making your own films, check out http://www.myspace.com/MySpaceFilms.

I have seen it a few times, and each time I see it with my own eyes something new is revealed about this film.<br /><br />The first part of the story starts in 1945 when a young boy named Peter (played by Michael Caine) lives on an island off the coast of England where he has been brought up as his father was killed during World War II. The islanders are friendly but they do not know what happens to their son after the war ends. They try to help him find out who did kill them all but things become more complicated than you can imagine.<br /><br />This film is very well made and extremely interesting to watch because there's so much going on at once! It takes place over several years and we get to meet many different characters: the villagers, the soldiers, the sailors...<br /><br />Michael Caine plays the role of Peter brilliantly - he makes us feel like being right next to him and watching everything that's happening around him. He gives us some great lines and manages to make us laugh too while keeping us interested throughout the whole movie! This is one of those films which will keep your attention from start to finish!<br /><br />If you haven't already watched this wonderful movie then you should definitely give it a go. You'll be glad you did! <br /><br />My vote for 8/10<br /><br />(PS: if you're reading this and want me to write another review please send me an email!)<br /><br />7 comments: Great comment, thanks! And yes, I've just read your other reviews here :) I really enjoyed this movie myself, although I'm still trying to work out why people don't seem to love it either! Maybe it's because it doesn't quite fit into any genre? Or maybe it's because it's such a strange mix between drama and comedy?! Haha, good point! But overall I think it works perfectly together and I'd recommend anyone else seeing it anyway! Great job, Michael! Cheers! :-)<br /><br />Hi, I saw this yesterday on TV and loved it!!

This film is terrible. You don't really need to read this review further. If you are planning on watching it, suffice to say - don't (unless you are studying how not to make a good movie).<br /><br />The acting is horrendous... serious amateur hour. Throughout the movie I thought that it was interesting that they found someone who speaks and looks like Michael Madsen, only to find out that it is actually him! A new low even for him!!<br /><br />The plot is terrible. People who claim that it is original or good have probably never seen a decent movie before. Even by the standard of Hollywood action flicks, this is a terrible movie.<br /><br />Don't watch it!!! Go for a jog instead - at least you won't feel like killing yourself.	0neg	This film is terrible. You	This film is terrible. You can't even watch it in the theater, you have to rent it or buy a DVD copy from Amazon.com.<br /><br />The plot is so bad that I had no idea what was going on until about 30 minutes into the movie. The acting (especially by the lead actress) is awful and the script is just plain stupid. It's like watching a TV show with some of the worst actors ever put together for one episode. There are several scenes where people get shot at random without any explanation whatsoever...and then they're running around screaming "I'm gonna shoot them!" when none of those shots actually happened! <br /><br />If there were only two stars given out for this crapfest, I would give it three instead of two because it deserves more than that. This movie should be banned forever. If you want to see an actual horror flick, go check out something else. But if you really want to see a bad movie, rent this one. At least you'll know what you're getting yourself into before you waste your time renting it. And don't bother buying DVDs either--they will probably ruin your life as well. Just stay away from this movie altogether unless you live under a rock. That way, you won't have to deal with all these negative comments posted here. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. They may not agree with you but they aren't making up stories to make you feel better. Trust me, they do exist. <br /><br />(Note: A few years ago, I rented this movie while visiting my brother who lives in Canada. He gave it to me after he saw how horrible it was.)<br /><br />1/2 Stars - Bad Movie<br /><br />* OUT OF * FOR THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!! * Out Of *** For the Worst Horror Film Ever Made!!!!!	This film is terrible.

He goes off to college where he meets her boyfriend (who happens to be a professor) and things go awry...<br /><br />I don't know why I watched this movie but I did. It was just so bad that I couldn't take my eyes of the screen for more than 10 minutes at a time. The acting wasn't very good either. The only thing that saved me from giving it a zero rating were the few scenes when the two main characters actually got together. But then again, there are no other scenes like these in movies! <br /><br />If you want to see an awful movie, rent "Love Actually" instead. That's what I would recommend if you're looking for something different. If you really wanna get into trouble watching this one, rent "Bend It Like Beckham". This one is much better though because it doesn't involve any sex!<br /><br />My advice? Don't waste your money renting or buying this crap. Go rent "Love Actually", "Bend It Like Beckham" or "A Beautiful Mind." They'll all be far superior to this garbage. And please don't rent this one - it will ruin your life forever. Trust me! <br /><br />PS: Thanks for reading my review. Now let me finish this comment before someone else does too. :) <br /><br />(Note: I'm not affiliated with IMDb.com.)	This film is terrible. You can tell that the director was trying to make a good movie, but it just doesn't work.<br /><br />The acting in this flick is awful and the story line is so unbelievable I could not believe what had happened. The whole thing has been done before by other directors who have made better films. If you want to see how bad this film really is watch "The Last Picture Show" or "Scream".<br /><br />I would rather sit through 30 minutes of my life than waste another one watching this crap! <br /><br />(By the way if anyone else wants to know why I gave this film such low marks then please read below) - I am an avid fan of horror movies (especially slasher type stuff), however when there are no scares whatsoever on offer at all I will give up quickly... This is the first time i've ever given a negative rating for something. Please don't do me any harm....<br /><br />-Jesse<br /><br />PS: I'm sorry about the spelling errors in the above comment...

But even though they were great, this movie wasn't as good. Maybe it was due to the fact that I didn't like the original series, but I still enjoyed this movie. And I think that maybe some people might enjoy this more than others. Just depends on your taste. My favorite part of the series was the ending where the main characters meet their future selves and go back to find out what happened to them. That was pretty cool. Also, the music was awesome. Even though I haven't seen the new series yet, I hope they continue with the same theme. They did try to change things around a little bit, which I thought worked well, but I also loved the old ones. So if you're into these types of movies, check out the original series. Otherwise, skip this movie entirely. :) Thanks for reading! :D Hey Jesse, You should get yourself a copy of the original series DVD set. It's got everything from the first episode right down to the last one. I bought mine years ago and love it. Check out http://www.dvd	This film is terrible. You can tell that the director was a complete noob, and he's not even trying to be funny or clever with it.<br /><br />I don't know why I watched this movie at all; I'm sure if I'd seen it on TV somewhere else, maybe I would have been more interested in what happened next than watching an hour of bad acting and stupid dialogue. It just didn't make any sense whatsoever.<br /><br />The plot: two people meet up for lunch and decide to go out together because they both want to get laid. The first person ends up getting laid by the second one (or something like that), but then decides she wants to end things so she leaves him alone while he goes off to his date. He meets another woman who has sex with her before leaving again - but doesn't leave until after midnight! Then there are some other random events which happen later, such as the guy being chased around town by thugs, etc...<br /><br />What makes this movie awful? Well, firstly, the actors themselves were pretty bad too. They basically looked completely unconvincing throughout most of the film. I mean, how do you act when your face looks like a cross between a 1950s pinup model and a 20th century porn star?! Secondly, the script itself was really poor. There wasn't much action going on during the whole thing, except for the guys having sex. And although the characters had names, their personalities weren't very well developed either. For example, the guy who ended up sleeping with the girl left early without telling anyone about it, whereas the guy who slept with the girl stayed late into the night talking nonsense about how great life was and how he wanted to start over. Thirdly, the ending made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Why did the guy sleep with the girl anyway? Was it supposed to be a surprise? Or was it meant to be obvious from the beginning? What happens afterwards isn't explained at all, and it seems totally implausible!<br /><br />So overall, I give this movie a score of only three stars. If you're looking for a good laugh, watch "Bend It Like Beckham". Otherwise, avoid it at all costs. Just stay away from anything involving naked women. That's my advice. <br /><br />3/10. Not worth seeing unless you're desperate for a laugh. Avoid. Don't bother. Watch "Bend It Like Beckham" instead. Oh yeah,	0.500002	0.499998	0.500001	0.499999
