i feel as though i know these people and have known people similar to them these days though people are discouraged from showing such passion about anything especially love and loneliness it has a slow beginning but then look out! if you love romantic comedies but would like to see one that had some basis in reality for a change or at least did have back in the 70's then you should see this movie!

like a twisty country road tough luck takes the viewer for a ride there is nothing wrong with plot curves as long as believability doesn't fly out the window unfortunately in the end the film does challenge an audience's belief tolerance nevertheless it is easy to forgive this fault due to the superior acting character development and wonderful carnival atmosphere do not expect to like any of the characters armand asante norman redus and dagmara dominczyk play shady con artists not exactly the type of person easily admired the double crosses come fast and furious and the final cross is a bit of a stretch recommended merk

has aged really well still thrilling and suspenseful today certainly one of hitch's best movies beautifully shot with a great premise for suspense sex appeal provided by beautiful ruth roman because of the great premise you feel like you have to watch it to the end if you find yourself losing faith in hitch and doubting his title as the master of suspense i recommend this nice little movie as an antidote 5 out of 5

this is one of the best movies it is one of my favorites a movie with good acting the story is very sensitive and touching good camera work also the names of the actresses and actors are not at the top of the american star list however they give equal or better performances than the top of the list it is such a pleasure to see a movie about true love romance friendship without having to endure watching someone having to kick box their way to save the world if you don't like this movie then you have no heart or feelings then go watch a sports movie there is no killing or horror here see the movie it is a must th

bell book and candle was shown recently on cable not having seen it for a while we decided to take another look at this comedy based on the james van druten's broadway hit which was a vehicle for rex harrison and lilli palmer in the early fifties the film was adapted for the screen by daniel taradash the film was directed by richard quine who turned the play into a delightful comedy evidently judging by some of the comments submitted by imdb the big issue seems to be the pairing of the two stars who had collaborated on vertigo released the same year movie audiences didn't think anything about the age difference when this film was released in fact most of the aging male stars of that period were always involved with much younger women the film set in manhattan during christmas is a delightful comedy that has enchanted viewers kim novak was at the height of her beauty as it's clear the camera adored her no matter what was she playing as the witch that becomes human her gillian is charming james stewart who plays the publisher shep' henderson is also seen at his best mr stewart was an excellent comedy actor who shows in here why he was at the top in supporting roles the wonderful elsa lanchester playing queenie is a welcome addition to any movie as she proves here jack lemmon's nicky holroyd the brother of gillian is also good ernie kovacs is also seen as the writer sidney radlitch this is an excellent way to spend a winter night at home watching bell book and candle

it is very hard to come up with new information about jfk jr and this fine movie had very little of it but it was a joy to watch the casting was very good and the script while somewhat like a documentary was also good my only complaint was that it wasn't long enough perhaps a two part movie could have told us more about his pre george days and his relationships with his mother sister and other relatives some of the material in the book american son by richard blow would have enhanced the movie a lot wtbs should be applauded for producing such an entertaining movie

granted this seems like a good idea steve martin goldie hawn and john cleese in a neil simon comedy where can you go wrong watch the movie and you'll find out in truth martin the lead is mis cast he's not doing the great slapstick he's known for from movies like the jerk but instead plays a sort of in between character that doesn't work hawn with no one to play off of is terrible cleese is the only even partially funny member to top it off the plot is pretty stupid i can't say how much of it may have been changed but the characters seem to lack the slightest bit of common sense they blunder through new york not doing anything right and unfortuneatly nothing funny not only is the whole premise completely unbelievable it seems to give the message that people who don't live in new york aren't very bright a theme repeated throughout the movie in summation instead of seeing this go rent the original odd couple again

halloween 666 1995 the producer's cut review! halloween 666 starts of with a recap of the horrific ending to part five if you thought the last chapter was dark this one will really blow your mind a mysterious man in black has raided the haddonfield police department freeing micheal myers in the process poor jamie lloyd was abducted by strange cultists what they want with her who knows but let's just say her long suffering will end soon doctor loomis is back spending the rest of his twilight years trying to stop michael myers from killing any more innocents good luck a friend of loomis doctor wynn comes back after a four sequel hiatus to help the good doctor another old face from part one guest stars as well this dark and dreary sequel was dismantled during the post production editing for some reason the distributors felt that the final product wasn't worth the average horror film watcher's time so they decide to dumb it down then after having the film sit on the shelf for several months it laid an egg at the box office no matter what they did to the film they made it worse they should have left well enough alone hey the film company knows better than the filmmakers now don't they producer's cut highly recommended released version not recommended

definitely a must see for all fans of film noir thanks to a fine script and crisp razor sharp direction a top cast comes together and works like a well oiled clock to produce a crackerjack psychological thriller wonderful characterizations articulate the movie's powerful message of racial and religious tolerance it's difficult and almost unjust to single out any one particular performance because there isn't a weak link in the entire company but robert ryan as the hateful and violent white supremacist is truly spine chilling making this film in the 1940s would have taken a lot of courage now all these years later at a time when contemporary movies are dominated by a ridiculous over abundance of foul language bare breasts crummy acting and deafening soundtracks it's refreshing to get back to the basics of quality film making with a viewing treat like crossfire another low budget gem from the hollywood archives

i rented this movie on the merits of what the trailer showed and of course sir anthony hopkins if jackson pollack teamed up with david lynch and timothy leary to make a movie this would be the end result i don't think i've seen a movie like it that made an lsd trip look like an episode of sesame street it's a bunch of set pieces where the characters flash in and out of reality or various realities and the film doesn't culminate into anything until the last 5 minutes where all of a sudden it makes sense i wrote a scathing review on my movie review blog that essentially gives everything away and i won't do that here it's a well acted piece of cinema and the soundtrack was written by sir anthony hopkins and let me say this if there's one redeeming feature to this film it's the music it fits perfectly some of the dialogue is unbelievably good and unbelievably bad all at the same time i enjoyed parts of this movie i truly did and once you get to the end of it you'll actually figure out what's truly going on it's unfortunate that you have to wade through 2 hours of crazy to get to a salient point which minimizes the effect of the entire movie i give it a 3 out of 10 for the simple fact that the real problem with this film isn't the acting it's everything

if you are a traveller if there is a fire burning into your heart if you'd call home every place on earth but none of them can give you enough if you are always looking for the next thing and if you believe the other part of your soul is somewhere out there see this movie and you'll find out a little but wonderful piece of life sitting next to you

what are forest whitaker and clifton collins jr doing in this light it up is a ridiculously melodramatic piece on problems in low income area schools while the topic is one that needs to be addressed the film uses every cliche in the genre and comes off as a textbook popcorn flick the characters are cutouts from the inner city version of the breakfast club or even the faculty watch this with your children when they turn 13 or 14 with them it could be an outlet for a lesson on current social problems for anyone older it will be nothing more than something to watch and spit on at 4 in the morning as i did recently on bravo matter of fact what was this doing on bravo

there are plenty of comments already posted saying exactly how i felt about this film so ill keep it short the grinch i thought was marvellous jim carrey is a truly talented physical comedian as well as being a versatile clever actor in my opinion mike myers on the other hand gets his laughs by being annoying i used to like him very much in his waynes world and so i married an axe murderer days but ive never been fond of austin powers and the cat in the hat has just finished me off this film was horrible the gags were horrible! inappropriate for children not only in adult content but in the fact that some of them were so dated they havent amused anyone for 50 years! the plot was messy messy messy! its a shame really because the children were very likeable as was mom they probably could have picked a better villain than alec baldwin but he could have pulled it off if it weren't for myers ugly revolting over acted portrayal of the cat i mean did myers even glance at a script was one written the other actors seemed to have one but the cat just seemed to be winging it! on the other hand i would like to mention that the sets and props were marvellous!!! but unfortunately they cant save this film poor dr seuss the man was a genius! dont ruin his reputation by adapting his work in a such a lazy messy way!!! 1 10

i'm surprised about the many female voters who even give this film better marks my thought about this film was that the target audience is adult and male whipped and tortured women merciless revenge and a high body count are typical ingredients introduced into film history by the spaghetti subgenre the opening and the hand smashing are django rip offs the shooter however lacks the style of e g django score acting and cinematography are mediocre at best but if you look for the above mentioned ingredients you are in the right place here and the actors don't have an italian accent 4 10

matthau and lemmon are at their very best in this one everyone else in the movie are also great the dialogue is excellent and very very witty and the scene where lemmon's character attempts to clear out his sinuses in a restaurant have me rolling on the floor with laughter every time i see it anyone who happened to see the not so great sequel should not be turned away from the original i recommend this wonderful movie to everyone i just love it and the fact the jack lemmon plays his character so straight forward with tragic overtones only adds to the hilariousness in my opinion these two great guys made a string of movies together but this one is the best no doubt

this is an incredible film i can't remember the last time i saw a swedish movie this layered it's funny it's tragic it's compelling and most of all it's a slice of swedish small town life it crushes the clichés and dwells deeper it makes you feel connected not only to the main characters but to all the characters big city girl tracing back to her roots her small hometown to celebrate her father's 70th birthday crossing paths with people she hasn't met in several years although the story itself isn't unique it offers a fresh approach the center of the story is the relationship between three sisters on different stages in life who aren't very close or at least don't realize how close they are one key reason that makes it so easy to connect to the people in this film is the immaculate cast first i'm more than pleased about the fact that there are absolutely no so called 'a list' swedish actors in this film usually there is a handful of actors that has the ability to find their way into almost every major production in sweden this time the production company managed to keep it real by casting actors who actually seem to love their profession sofia helin is probably the first swedish actress since eva röse to prove that you don't need words to convey an emotion the writing is also very appealing the dialogue is more than believable and compared with other swedish films from the past year or two it's ahead by miles maria blom controls everything from the beginning and if you didn't know you would never guess that this is her first time writing and directing a feature length film i can't wait for her next one once you start watching this you really want to see it through

just how bad well compared to this movie cannibal holocaust is citizen kane there's the stilted acting the atrocious dialogue the half baked plot and like its companion piece way too much in the way of on screen animal slaughter that was actually done unlike holocaust ferox is a straight forward movie it doesn't pretend to be a pseudo documentary in some ways that helps the production in that the film is very sharp and crisp compared to holocaust's graininess unfortunately we are once again given a group of people who are morally reprehensible they torture the natives and essentially bring everything that they get upon themselves there's really nothing in this film that makes it worth your while i was fairly lenient with my review of holocaust due to some actual attempt at a statement and style but in ferox's case there is no reason to watch this unless you solely get off on blood and gore

some of the secondary actors try really hard and camera shots in the desert are quite lovely otherwise this film is horrible william shatner's character harvey is an amateur screenwriter he's also a psychopath a man who quite literally escapes from a mental institution is the point of this film that amateur screenwriters are psychopaths harvey will do anything to get his script read and turned into a movie even if that means taking a film crew hostage do amateur screenwriters grovel maybe they do the film's setup is way too long we don't get to the point of the story until well into the second half the first half darts and flits among assorted characters shoot or be shot is touted as a comedy but i found it totally not funny dialogue contains no subtext none of the characters are believable as real people they're all stick figures that perform action in a way that resembles cartoon characters indeed the film is basically a cartoon for adults silly inane birdbrained i can understand why some actors are in this film they need the money or the exposure but what are insiders shatner and harry hamlin doing here maybe shatner wants more comedy roles is this the best he can do is hamlin that desperate for money he used to be a respected actor what happened even though the story is supposed to be a satire it comes across more as a put down of amateur screenwriters maybe that wasn't the intent but that's certainly how the film can be interpreted as such the script was very very poorly written

this movie is simply bad first of all the story is just weird and it's not good written it leaves you with questions when you're finished sometimes that's ok but not in this case the acting is nothing to write home about the adults does a ok job but the kids taken in consideration they are kids does not a good job i thought the lead role ian costello as mickey was worst well to be honest i'm not sure that was the lead role never quite figured who this movie was about mickey or pete there were some shots that stood out but over all there were nothing exiting about the cinematography the sound however was better there was a nice score a little adventure kind of score though this didn't look like an adventure film to me it had some elements of an adventure film but it was more of a drama however it was hard to tell who this film was meant for children hardly there is too much language and violence for that adults i don't know it had to many elements of a children's movie in it it was like a adult movie in a children movie wrapping the story was just weird i don't have much of an idea of what it really was about you was thrown right in to it without knowing anything but there were all the time references to something you felt you should know the fact that the children's parents were dead for instance and that mickey blamed pete for it you expected to get to know what happened but you never got all together this movie was bad and a waste of time there was no drive in it nothing to really move the story forward this is not what you spend your saturday night on

though not hal hartley's best work my personal favorite is surviving desire there is still much to like about this movie especially for fans of hartley's dialogues even to audiences new to hartley i would definitely recommend this movie over the sophomoric dogma this movie is more intelligent truer to its source material the bible and more fun than any of the other pre millennium apocalypse movies this movie is actually part of the french 2000 as seen by 2000 par vu series as such it is perhaps even a lower budget film than hartley's other works while the need for simple scenes shot with digital camera is understandable in this context the main problem with this movie is the unfortunate overuse of the blurry jittery effect i'd be happy to never see this effect used in a movie again especially at the beginning it almost makes the movie unwatchable but overlook this flaw and you'll be treated to a fine film especially notable is magdalena played by p j harvey relating how jesus saved her from being stoned to death a short scene i found surprisingly moving despite the fact that it was not mary magdalene that this happened to the woman in the bible was unnamed

i bought this it was only $3 ok under the title grey matter the novelty of seeing sherriff roscoe in a non dukesofhazzard role intrigued me as the other reviewers warned it's a pretty boring tale of a top secret government experiment gone awry and yes there are plenty of establishing shots especially of a house with a pool in front of it some of the characters and interiors are so nondescript i guess the filmmakers worried we might forget who is who so they keep tipping us off by first showing the outside of the buildings it's actually kinda funny after awhile the pool shot feels like a tv channel's station identification logo reminding us that we are watching grey matter i also enjoyed two bouts of name calling at one point an angry test subject taunts somebody in charge by calling her a scientific b*tch! it's just a very inadequate insult several scenes later a different subject lets off steam by muttering about that scientific b**tard! it just sounded very awkward to me someday this movie will disappear forever another decade from now it will likely be impossible to find any copies of it almost like it never happened

there is a bit of trivia which should be pointed out about a scene early in the movie where homer watches the attempt of december 6 1957 at least that was the video used on the tv he was watching which showed the vangard launch attempt which failed he is next shown reading or dictating a letter to dr von braun offering condolences about the failure von braun was at marshall space flight center in huntsville working for the army the vanguard project was by the early nasa team which was at what soon became goddard space flight center the army rushed the jupiter c which was essentially a us made v2 technology but worked to launch a satellite in response to russia's success with sputnik this error may have actually been made by homer because of the notoriety of von braun but his team didn't have their attempt fail in fact the underlying redstone was flying from 52 and was the first us man rated booster used for shepard's sub orbital flight as well as grissom's this is why this sort of movie is so good as it hopefully will inspire people to read up and spot these bits of trivia and in the process see what has been done and be inspired to do more

52 pick up never got the respect it should have it works on many levels and has a complicated but followable plot the actors involved give some of their finest performances ann margret roy scheider and john glover are perfectly cast and provide deep character portrayals notable too are vanity who should have parlayed this into a serious acting career given the unexpected ability she shows and kelly preston who's character will haunt you for a few days anyone who likes action combined with a gritty complicated story will enjoy this

teenage exorcist is one of those god awful films to video that makes the viewer give up any expectations of decent entertainment for low brow sexual antics adolescent humour and empty writing this film delivers exactly what its was trying to deliver it is about a girl moving into a house where a baron de sade hmmm once lived and finally being drawn to him through her own inner demon her sister and brother in law along with an irish priest her boyfriend and a pizza delivery boy try to save her and exorcise her demon well not much here in way of horror or suspense in fact one line from the film pretty much sums up what to expect mike the girl's brother in law has tied her the name is diane by the way and she is played by brinke stevens up after trying to chainsaw her sister he removes a gag from her mouth and says something like this won't be the last gag we see tonight indeed it was not the special effects are cheesy and poorly crafted and the film makes use of this by playing on its comedic appeal some of the lines and situations are funny robert quarry old count yorga himself really steals his scenes as an irish priest he hams it up wailing biblical verses and crooning irish songs you know you are in trouble however when eddie deezen gets top billing deezen does his schtick and has a couple nice moments as well but the material is just too threadbare than to be anything more than teenage sophomoric time filler michael berryman from the hills have eyes also has a brief but interesting cameo in the film as for the other thespians well they are all pretty good at being pretty mediocre stevens is lovely in fishnet stockings and french cut panties but beyond that don't expect too much more from her her sister is played by elena sahagun and she shows a bit more than brinke a very lovely young lady by the way and out acts brinke by miles her husband played by jay richardson shows off his ability to act and be funny amidst mediocrity again not a bad film to waste a little time that involves no thinking on if you are a robert quarry fan watch it for his performance at the very least

wenders was great with million $ hotel i don't know how he came up with this film! the idea of giving the situation after spt11 and the view of american society is hopeful that makes it 2 out of ten but this is not a movie is that the best someone can do with a great idea the west east clash there are important things going on in middle east and it is just issued on the screen of a mac* with the fingers of an amerian girl who is actually at the level of stupidity because she is just ignorant about the facts the characters are not well shaped and the most important thing is the idea that is given with religion is somehow funny to me at the ending scene lana says lets just be quiet and try to listen and the background music says i will pray the thing is not about religion actually but it ends up with this how you are gonna see the truth if you just close your eyes and pray the lights are already shining on the truth its just that nobody wants to see it ps my home is not a place it is people the only thing that gets 10 out of 10 is that sentence but it is wasted behind this film making by the way as someone mentioned below americas finest young man are not finest they are just the poor and the hopeless ones who sign up for the army in need of good paychecks which is not provided by the government !

as a low budget enterprise in which the filmmakers themselves are manufacturing and distributing the dvds themselves we perhaps shouldn't expect too much from broken in disc form and yet what's most remarkable about this whole achievement is the fact that this release comes with enough extras to shame a james cameron dvd and a decidedly fine presentation with regards to the latter the only major flaw is that broken comes with a non anamorphic transfer otherwise we get the film in its original 1 85 1 ratio demonstrating no technical flaws and looking pretty much as should be expected indeed given ferrari's hands on approach in putting this disc together you can pretty much guarantee such a fact the same is also true of the soundtrack here we are offered both dd2 0 and dd5 1 mixes and whilst i'm uncertain as to which should be deemed the original the fact that ferrari had an involvement in both means neither should be considered as inferior indeed though the dd5 1 may offer a more atmosphere viewing experience owing to the manner in which it utilizes the score both are equally fine and free of technical flaws as for extras the disc is positively overwhelmed by them take a look at the sidebar on the right of the screen and you'll notice numerous commentaries loads of featurettes and various galleries indeed given the manner in which everything has been broken down into minute chunks rather than compiled into a lengthy documentary there really is little to discuss the 'anatomy of a stunt' featurette for example is exactly what it claims to be and the same goes for the rest of pieces as such we get coverage on pretty much ever aspect of broken's pre production production and post production and whilst it may have been preferable to find them in a more easily digestible overall 'making of' in this manner we do get easy access to whatever special feature we may wish to view of the various pieces then it is perhaps only the commentaries which need any kind of discussion then again there's also a predictable air to each of the chat tracks the one involving the actors is overly jokey and doesn't take the film too seriously ferrari's pieces are incredibly enthusiastic about the whole thing and the technical ones are well extremely technical of course we also get some crossover with what's been covered elsewhere on the discs but at only 19 minutes none of these pieces outstay their welcome indeed all in all a fine extras package

child 'sexploitation' is one of the most serious issues facing our world today and i feared that any film on the topic would jump straight to scenes of an explicitly sexual nature in order to shock and disturb the audience after having seen both 'trade' and 'holly' one film moved me to want to actually see a change in international laws the other felt like a poor attempt at making me cry for five minutes with emotive music and the odd suicide i do not believe that turning this issue into a hollywood tear jerker is a useful or necessary strategy to adopt and i must commend the makes of 'holly' for engaging subtly but powerfully with the terrible conditions these children are sadly forced to endure 'trade' wavered between serious and stupid with scenes involving the death of a cat coming after images that represented children being forced to commit some horrendous acts i found this unengaging and at times offensive to the cause if i had wanted a cheap laugh i would not have signed up for a film on child trafficking for anyone who would like to watch a powerful film that actually means something i would suggest saving the money on the cinema ticket for the release of 'holly'

i will not say much about this film because there is not much to say because there is not much there to talk about the only good thing about this movie is that our favorite characters from atlantis the lost empire are back several of the bad things about this movie are that it has horrible characters it has horrible comedy horrible animation and james arnold taylor trying to copy the wonderful one and only michael j fox as milo james thatch the reasons for my criticisms are that all the characters are changed into something that they never were and never should be animation that has been downgraded to the lowest extent possible and finally why would somebody who did wonderful voice over work for obi wan kenobi in clone wars want to copy michael j fox i happen to have an answer to this because they are the same person who thought he had to copy eddie murphy from mulan in mulan ii yes sadly it is true

although i am a fan of heather thomas and i have a few of her old bikini posters around here somewhere i can honestly say that if the only movie i had ever seen her in was cyclone i would never be able to guess why she had made it as far as she had in show business directed by fred olen ray about as good an omen as seeing buzzards circle over head in the desert this tale of a woman thomas who must protect a high tech motorcycle from unscrupulous types is about as b movie as it gets or in fred olen's case b minus the cast itself should tell you something it's not every movie that combines thomas with actors the calibre of beswick hall combs donahue tamblyn and landau !! if you're lucky very few movies do and even though they seem to be having fun shouldn't some of that fun be passed on to the audience i vote yes seems they voted no of course if you ever wanted to see heather deliver an uppercut to another woman use the f word and get hooked up to battery cables you've probably been looking for this one myself i'll be content with old fall guy reruns one star given in hopes that when another cyclone hits town heather runs for shelter i know i will

seeing this film or rather set of films in my early teens irrevocably changed my idea of the possibilities of human interaction and the range of potential experience this monumental exploration of individuals and their historical setting reveals how full bodied and intense every human existence is the people are portrayed as they are to themselves their experiences of the smallest to the largest internal and external phenomena are detailed with the greatest of artistry and perception edgar reitz displays a fabulous appreciation of human motivations and longings when these phenomena are set against the immense time allowed by the length of the work one cannot help but apprehend the force and vivacity of happiness defeat lust love sadness melancholy that each person feels when i saw these films i perceived my future experiences how my life would inevitably twist and oscillate due to both intended and accidental events i acquired a feeling of the longevity of being and what it meant to reflect upon past lives memories and contexts a masterpiece and a revelation i only wish the bbc would screen it again if anyone knows where i can get a copy could they contact me

not the film to see if you want to be intellectually stimulated if you want to have a lot of fun a the theater however this is the one lots of snappy banter and some really cheesy banter too mos def and seth green are very funny as the comic relief exciting and creative heists and chase scenes mark wahlberg and charlize theron sexy are appealing leads and donald sutherland!

this is one of the worst films i've seen for years the storyline has potential that is never realized the actors are a poor choice but considering the screen writing their talent isn't wasted i really wanted everyone dead as quickly as possible so i could get out and watch something else unfortunately i did stay to the end and had a laugh at the murmurs of people moaning about how crappy this is there wasn't booing after all this is england just gentle moans about how crap that was then i look on imdb and see 288 people have given it 10 out of 10 i really just cannot see how those people are able to give that score they must be a pr company working with the distributor there's a hilarious set problem towards the end of the film when in the graveyard and the hick attacks look out for the dodgy scenery that rocks when touched supposed to be a brick wall the blood effects are waaaay ott the film feels like everyone is making a spoof horror except the director

at a risk of sounding slightly sacrilegious on first viewing i'm kind of inclined to put this right up on a par with 'shaun of the dead' now given i view simon pegg as an unquestionable comedy genius i realise this is a rather big claim and to what extent you agree with that last statement may be a good preliminary gauge of whether 'fido' will appeal to you in a way the comedy picks up where 'shaun' left off except we're back in the original 1950s living dead era stereotypical middle american small town the zombie wars are over and zombies themselves are becoming more well adjusted useful members of the community this so we're informed at the outset is largely thanks to the scientific advances made by the good people at zomcom a nice play on romantic comedy perhaps the beauty of the film lies in its dead pan depiction of a respectable neighbourhood maintaining core values while making a place for zombies and the special hazards they pose the charm and balance with which it does this is near enough perfect themes you might expect from a more mainstream kitsch comedy come through the veneer of good clean living keeping up appearances repressed emotion muddled parental values social decorum and the plight of the alienated individual it's a story told with happy heart and wide appeal that is brought to life vividly by the film's all round strong cast it's one of those works where it really shows through that everyone involved got a kick out of taking part it's also fun imagining what billy connelly learning his script must have been like so in conclusion it is probable you will appreciate the humour of this film unless your father tried to eat you

ugh even the ever popular diane lane could not save this movie and the most exciting thing about the movie was seeing if rourke's face would move one has heard so much gossip about his botched face lift etc so like an accident on the side of the road we just had to slow down and see the wreck the plot was thin here we have a very professional mob hit man who somehow latches on to a wild and uncontrollable punk crook and throughout this movie we're wondering why this guy stays with this idiot let alone gets together with the guy in the first place then the crime that was not even committed has the pro to go after the witnesses he would have popped them right then and there but then we would not have had a movie then would we and why did the realtor even agree to the extortion there were more holes in this flick than in my colander the acting was horrid the entire movie predictable down to the minute and even the ending and so much could have been done to make this a much better movie but if you have about 90 minutes to kill and not have to use any brain cells in the process then this movie is just what the doctor ordered

how disney can you get preppy rich girls act like idiots buy a bunch of stuff and get taught a lesson is disney trying to send a lesson to itself that maybe while buying everything it should maybe still be human whatever the psycho analysis this movie sucked the girls want a rich party for their rich lives but then money disappears and they have to use their riches to get the milk plant yes milk going to employ the workers they keep it afloat until daddy comes home and the man at the beginning who appears to be the one that takes the money is the one but the ending is dumb webcam in the cayman islands huh not worth my time ever again but it is better than howl's moving castle d

if this film is examined closely it's a bit sad it is detailed enough to touch upon very real problems children who grow up in poor dysfunctional environments yet it retains it's comedic value with spirited performances by diahann carroll and james earl jones the sadness lies in the struggles and dysfunction of the mother carroll who cannot truly help her children not because she doesn't want to or try but because it's obvious she doesn't know how remember this is a comedy but if you've never seen this or if you have watch this film and see the humanity in the characters good film

i went to see this film because joaquim de almeida was in it joaquim had a fairly small part so it was good that i liked the film on it's own in fact i liked it a lot! the film centers around two characters albert and louie albert is a shy retiring sort and louie well louie is not the story revolves around louie's request to albert to let him come over to albert's place for just a little while louie has just gotten out of prison albert and louie have known each other since childhood and of course whenver they do something together there is trouble and it's albert who always takes the fall the action of the film is based on the adventures that ensue from louie's visit on the run is a chronicle of mad cap zany situations however bruno de almeida and scriptwriter joseph minion after hours don't always take you where you expect to go there are twists and turns that add depth to this film of course there is plenty of outright comedy but there is much subtle humor here as well there are some downright good performances here as well albert is played delightfully by michael imperioli he's getting fairly well knownthese days from the hbo series the sopranos louie is played by john ventimiglia who imbues his character with a lovable child like quality no matter what he does you just gotta love louie! both these actors are excellent in their individual characters with imperioli you'll want to hug him and bring him home to mom ventimiglia well you won't know whether you should slap him or bring him home and not to mom! p there are other stand out performances as well the character of rita is played by drena deniro yes robert's daughter the audience adored her in talking with the others who saw the film it was fun to discuss whether it was albert or louie who was their favorite of those two but everyone loved rita! is this film perfect no i can't say that it is there were many times i wished the director had had a bigger budget to work with there were some scenes that cried out for more budgetary freedom give this guy a decent budget to work with and i believe you are going to see a film that will make you stand up and notice the ending sequence was a bit of a victim of budget yet budget or no budget the ending screen shot in my opinion brought together the talent of actor and director into a memorable emotionally effective scene

yes georgio is a light hearted and enjoyable movie comedy that contains beautiful settings and beautiful music it's not my favorite movie but it is a movie i have enjoyed seeing more than once some reviewers suggested if one wished to enjoy pavarotti they would likely be better served by picking up an opera dvd although a full opera might be a better representation of pavarotti's operatic talents oftentimes an opera requires costumes and has story lines that completely hide the appearance and nature of the person yes georgio permits pavarotti to use his speaking voice and to exhibit a personality and character in ways an opera would not many reviewers seemed to find the story unbelievable i don't agree enormously talented people can be both self centered and charming charming enough to captivate intelligent and beautiful people additionally people who are very different from one other often gain insights about themselves and grow in positive ways from interacting with people who stretch them or take them in directions they might not have chosen on their own both georgio and pamela become more open to unexplored parts of themselves in relationship with the other relax and let yourself go into a visually and aurally rewarding film with pavarotti at the peak of his vocal abilities the ending scenes from puccini's turandot alone are worth the time to get there

this gem for gore lovers is extremely underrated it's pure delight and fun! gratuitous servings of blood insanity and black humor which can please even the most demanding lover of the genre a full exploitation of the almost universal fear of dentists and flawlessly shot only for the connoisseurs

i had nothing to do before going out one night so i didn't want to watch anything too heavy i picked the perfect film this must have been a gift to barrymore from someone she slept with the director raja gosnell has made nothing but silly crap and the writing on this one is just atrocious in what high school can you register without a parent present and no proof of age or former schooling they let kids all come to the prom with no shirts in skin tight leotards ass shorts and one girl was dressed as eve wearing only fig leaves she announces that she's 25 and her brother is 23 but there is no reprisal from the school parents or lawsuits of any kind against the newspaper for fraud or spying the newspaper boss wants to catch the teacher in an underage sex scandal but doesn't realize the teacher is coming on to a 25 year old so any case would be entrapment they allow a camera in and record peoples private conversations with under age kids i wonder if i hired my younger sister to go back to hs with a camera on her and filmed under age girls for my personnel use i would not get in some kind of trouble nahhhh no problem didn't she have to take gym or go to the bathroom at some point the secondary characters in this were like cardboard cutouts of what high school students are thought to be and everybody was a stereotype jessica alba is just embarrassingly bad in this mugging for the camera at every chance in what world do the parents not get suspicious when their uber geeky daughter is miraculously asked out by the school stud to the prom and they don't ask the guy inside to meet him like every other parent in history if some guy in my school or any other school for that matter had conned my sister and thrown eggs at her in her prom dress he would have been in a body cast for the rest of his life this movie is so contrived and predictable it's nauseating and why at the end is everybody the alpo girls included cheering for this chick when two days before they hated her dumb dumb and dumb

but had to see just how bad it could get the plotline was thin to begin with but it just kept getting worse a female genetic engineering grad student uses her research on accelerated mitosis to artificially create a male because a biological weapon used in ww3 killed off 97% of the worldwide male population the surviving men are either high prices gigolos in back alley clubs or crazed lunatics in run down football stadiums plotting to overthrow the 'lesbian conspiracy' the entire process resembled the microwaving of a large bowl of jello press a few buttons and ding you get a baby not only that but he will age to mid 20's in a month and then begin to age normally how convenient eventually poor adam gets bored with the secluded cabin in the woods where his creator had raised him and steals her car to 'see the city' this begins 90 minutes of unlikely chases convenient plot twists and several subplots that we never see resolved as adam quickly learns what men did survive are treated as outcasts criminals because they are dangerous beasts that cannot help there genetic predisposition to violence the propaganda machines have been in full swing scaring women into believing all men are rapists and murderers this has led to lesbianism being the norm the fall of christianity female only reproduction via cloning and oh yeah world peace among other implied results all of which seem unlikely given that only 30 years had elapsed since the war adam stumbles from one bad situation to the next all the while being genetically programmed to be non violent and unable to really do much on his own behalf with the fbi on his trail madams looking for fresh meat and his creator trying to recapture him for herself it seems he learns that violence is not limited to the male species after all all in all i would not recommend this movie i did however enjoy veronica cartwrights portrayal of the 'love to hate her' director of the fbi and julie bowen didn't do bad as hope the 'closet hetero' geneticist either

the first 45 minutes of dragon fighter are entirely acceptable and surprisingly watchable the characters are believable and interesting the cloning lab looks really high tech after that it all collapses the characters start behaving idiotically and a new subplot is introduced from nowhere about a fusion reactor and this is supposedly present day going critical the only plot justification of which is that it is required to kill the dragon only it doesn't the finish is incredibly weak one wonders what made a movie that started out so well turn so wrong all the characters except dean cain are played by russians this results in some weird situations and details like the character being played by vessela dimitrova being called bailey kent despite her heavy accent and despite her on one occasion inexplicably switching to *spanish*! because of the decent start i considered rating this movie a 5 but it really was more disappointing than that so i only give it 4

dr bock teaches at the hospital and he is quite good at it the thing about him is that he is depressed dr bock and his wife separated his children are deviant he cannot perform in the bedroom and he feels as if he isn't doing a very good job at healing people he becomes suicidal but meets barbara who changes his ideas for the better all around this story is a murder mystery and a group of angry protesters outside the movie is well done and the character of dr bock is well played out it's a little sad somewhat funny and somewhat of a drama it was good to see a couple stories wrapped around the hospital even if they were somewhat unrelated to what dr bock was doing great movie

i've been playing this movie incessantly this month and i just love it i was around in the 60s oh dear so it is nostalgic in one sense however it's the funny premise the snappy dialogue and the great performances that keep me watching dr winston's reactions to stephanie at the end of the movie are priceless i'd be more specific but don't want to spoil it for anyone who other than matthau can play a man not entirely on the up and up and yet have us still love him as for bergman's costumes i think she looks as dowdy as she's supposed to i think she was robbed the one time that she appears in an evening gown it doesn't suit her at all which is too bad i never liked it when i first saw it on her and i still don't goldie won an oscar for her role people thought it was a groundbreaking performance at the time and yet it's the one performance that i don't love as much as the others she does have the right amount of sweetness and likability however which is important for this role and i agree i thought rick lenz was great in it and it's too bad that his movie career didn't take off after this i hope more people watch this movie they'll love it!

wow!! talk about a film that divides the audience! this is a real love it or loath it kinda movie personally i really enjoyed it i noticed that other reviews are comparing it to pitch black this is kinda dumb as the only thing they have in common is sand! people can be real stupid no this film is far more in common with the thing how people fail to notice is amazing they even have the same basic music lots of carpenter touches are there blue collar heroes sharp humor endless rolling landscapes full of death and things not understood perhaps what stops this film being a real classic is it's deference to other carpenter works not least dark star which it has something in common with i'd be interested to know how much it really cost $8000 is that even possible maybe it was based on a short film that cost $8000 but i did find myself strangely moved when the various space dudes died they are so underplayed that it's like watching a documentary at times having said that the script is kinda clunky and only about half of them can act however and i'm not sure the big guy playing the captain is one of them but his gun is awesome!! give it a chance if you like early carpenter you might fall for it just don't expect 2001

this movie tries to run away to the typical 'i'm fighting because i'm obliged to defend the fatherland the nazi's are all bad guys i'm against them' typical of german war movies how by not talking too much about it and just referring the war and the pow's nevertheless i would like to see a german movie which would be something between the extremity of come and see and the bad nazi's das boot i say this because excluding this factor the german movies are the best depicting 2nd world war and the german side you easily see some of the german hierarchical relations very different from the ones in us army this is a movie which tries to get a real sight of what was stalingrad and i was not there and i doubt most people were there now but if i would choose one movie depicting this battle for sure would not be the all american enemy at the gates why do i say this because even the best soldiers are not hero's and given the conditions they may regard their own lives instead of the fatherland this goes for all the ranks and in the end you see von paulus giving the example

homelessness or houselessness as george carlin stated has been an issue for years but never a plan to help those on the street that were once considered human who did everything from going to school work or vote for the matter most people think of the homeless as just a lost cause while worrying about things such as racism the war on iraq pressuring kids to succeed technology the elections inflation or worrying if they'll be next to end up on the streets but what if you were given a bet to live on the streets for a month without the luxuries you once had from a home the entertainment sets a bathroom pictures on the wall a computer and everything you once treasure to see what it's like to be homeless that is goddard bolt's lesson mel brooks who directs who stars as bolt plays a rich man who has everything in the world until deciding to make a bet with a sissy rival jeffery tambor to see if he can live in the streets for thirty days without the luxuries if bolt succeeds he can do what he wants with a future project of making more buildings the bet's on where bolt is thrown on the street with a bracelet on his leg to monitor his every move where he can't step off the sidewalk he's given the nickname pepto by a vagrant after it's written on his forehead where bolt meets other characters including a woman by the name of molly lesley ann warren an ex dancer who got divorce before losing her home and her pals sailor howard morris and fumes teddy wilson who are already used to the streets they're survivors bolt isn't he's not used to reaching mutual agreements like he once did when being rich where it's fight or flight kill or be killed while the love connection between molly and bolt wasn't necessary to plot i found life stinks to be one of mel brooks' observant films where prior to being a comedy it shows a tender side compared to his slapstick work such as blazing saddles young frankenstein or spaceballs for the matter to show what it's like having something valuable before losing it the next day or on the other hand making a stupid bet like all rich people do when they don't know what to do with their money maybe they should give it to the homeless instead of using it like monopoly money or maybe this film will inspire you to help others

i a huge fan of when it comes to doctor who series and still am but i was very disappointed when i began to watch this new series children under the age of 15 or even better under the age of 10 will probably will enjoy it the best and possibly new fans who haven't seen any of the original series but as far as fans of the original series will find this series missing much of the charm the made the original series so great it took david tennant to get me to appreciate how much better christoper eccellestion was as a doctor in the 1st season i would only recommend this series for people who haven't seen much of the original series people who are under 15 and extremely die hard who fans everyone else will just get a laugh and mumble curse words about russel t davies screwed up one of our favorite tv shows

i went into this film expecting hoping for a sleazy drive in style slice of seventies exploitation but what i got was more of a bizarre pseudo western with far too much talking and not enough action it's clear that this film was made on a budget the locations are drab and poorly shot while the acting leaves a lot to be desired also the plot focuses on a trio of robbers a father and two sons that steal a load of gold after killing some miners they come across a cabin inhabited by a young girl and her stepmother and all this is told in flashbacks by the young girl currently residing in an asylum it's clear that directors louis leahman and william sachs thought they were making something really shocking but despite its best efforts south of hell mountain is just too boring to shock the viewer the film drones on for about eighty minutes and most of it consists of boring characters spouting off boring and long winded dialogue the only good thing i have to say about the film is with regards to the music which is good in places the ending is the only other good thing about the movie and that's only because it's the last thing that happens i wouldn't recommend anyone bothers tracking this down there was much better trash made in the seventies

looked forward to viewing this film and seeing these great actors perform however i was sadly disappointed in the script and the entire plot of the story david duchovny dr eugene sands connie & carla '04 was the doctor in the story who uses drugs and losses his license to practice medicine dr sands was visiting a night club and was able to use his medical experience to help a wounded customer and was assisted by angelina jolie claire taking lives '04 who immediately becomes attracted to dr david sands timothy hutton raymond blossom kinsey '04 plays the big shot gangster and a man with all kinds of money and connections timothy hutton seems to over act in most of the scenes and goes completely out of his mind trying to keep his gang members from being killed gary dourdan yates csi vegas tv series plays a great supporting role and portrays a real cool dude who is a so called body guard for raymond blossom angelina jolie looks beautiful and sexy with her ruby red lips which draws a great deal of attention from all the men this film is not the greatest but it does entertain

this was one of the worst films i can remember seeing i am sure i have seen worse though if that mitigates me slamming it the humor isn't funny there are stupid stereotype jokes that again aren't funny i was a captive audience on a plane and viewed this film it was a complete waste of time i enjoyed martin in earlier films but not this one same for queen latifah she was excellent in chicago and in set it off she was good too but this role was horrid i mostly credit the failure to the bad writing of the script i feel strongly you can't save a formulaic unfunny script with decent actors this movie as a case in point still all involved should have been wise enough to not participate in this film i am just amazed that something so bad can get greenlighted made released theatrically and promoted

i bought the dvd a long time ago and finally got around to watching it i really enjoyed watching this film as you don't get the chance to see many of the more serious better quality bollywood films like this very well done and but i would say you need to pay attention to what is going on as it is easy to get lost when you start watching the movie don't do anything else! i would actually advise people to read all the reviews here including the ones with spoilers before watching the movie raima sen gave her first great performance that i have seen aishwarya was easily at her best all performances were strong directing and cinematography go watch it!

first of all let us discuss about the story it is a copy of the movie hitch with an added indian flavor to it one guy who is a love guru and another man who is seemingly a sucker when it comes to ladies and how this seemingly sucker becomes a charmer with the help of the love guru forms the story salman khan is the love guru and govinda is the lame guy now coming to artists' performance salman khan overacts throughout the movie he tries to be funny but fails big time you can see salman shouting throughout the movie no real acting is seen in his performance govinda pairs opposite katrina kaif oh my god she is one heck of a girl a real beauty is in real life a 50 year old dude and katrina is a girl in her early twenties in the movie govinda looks like grandpa of katrina kaif what a pity! coming to execution of the movie this movie feels like a b movie and a poor imitation of the movie hitch where hitch looks like a movie with a purpose and depth this movie is shallow and purposeless nowhere there is justification or clarity just forget this movie for it is nothing but boring typical bollywood fare actually i give 3 10 because this is the lowest i go

i try to catch this film each time it's shown on tv which happily is quite often but i keep forgetting to video it as it is i practically know the script by heart but that doesn't stop me having a good cry in fact it probably adds to it as i cry knowing what's coming next it's such a lovely film well made well cast good photography i love it one of my top ten films

i got to know æon back in the early 90s via television and i loved it what did you like about it the cranky drawing style the flawless artistic action involved the absurd and deadpan communication between the characters the whole layout of the surrounding future world no matter what you loved about it the aeon flux film of late 2005 has nothing of that karyn kusama the so called director of the film was hopelessly over strained with transporting the original content to a new film if you 're not familiar with the original series you won't understand anything during for the first 60minutes of the film the story is inscrutable and the vapid characters do not develop during the film kusama's attempt to improve the storyline by implementing some rather weak explanatory conversations between the main characters is not only a lame attempt to cover up her flaws as a storyteller it's simply unworthy of the original æon concept charlize theron might be an attractive woman but she can't impersonate the æon character although she was attached to strings doing action scenes her lack of talent for physical motion simply ruins the action sequences in the film the result is a tremendous amount of hectic picture cuts to cover up the sheer lameness of her physique forget about all the rest it's not worth talking about i give 1point for ms theron showing her boobs and 1point for the nice architectural photography in the film that's it

this off beat horror movie seems to be getting nothing but bad reviews my question is why i think this movie is pretty good dee snider did very well for his first and only time directing he also plays the antagonist captain howdy carelton hendriks this movie seems to have a view of the future although it came out back in 1998 it seems to be about modern issues internet predators seems to be the underlying plot here although taken to another level this is an issue which we still face today i'll admit the story fell short a few times but that doesn't make this a bad movie at all robert englund is even in this movie that automatically makes it better the acting wasn't bad the characters were pretty good as well hendriks was a pretty good antagonist i think i give this off beat horror a 7 10 recommend for fans of saw

armored the best part about driving an armored vehicle is that if any bums approach you at a red light asking for money you can shoot them in the face and while the armoured guards in this thriller aren't using their protective power to purge the drifter population they are using their position to fleece their employer when newcomer ty columbus short lands a job with an armored trunk company he feels like he has found his lot in life unfortunately however when he discovers that his co workers matt dillon jean reno and laurence fishburne are plotting to take the $42 m shipment for themselves ty must fortify himself and the funds inside the armored truck a tedious caper with a plodding plot and phoned in performances armored is an utterly forgettable film besides if you really want to jack millions it's a lot simpler to just disguise yourself as an atm red light

if this film becomes a holiday tradition i am going to have to hide for christmas for the rest of my life how do you even think of comparing this with 'a wonderful life'! it was absolutely awful! the boy singing made my toes curl and what on earth was the deal with his hair emmy worthy performance ! please granted lucci did ok but an emmy i think this film is a waste of money the fact that they stuck so close to the original story pretending to give it a modern and retro touch made it even worse it lacked enthusiasm and persistence on all accounts lighting wardrobe make up it seemed everybody wanted to go home just a big no from me

this movie is supposed to be taking place in and around seattle the why is porteau cove p r o v i n c i a l park shown provincial parks are in canada and not the united states the inspector uses a palm pilot complete with stylus to 'read' that someone has hacked into the computer of the bridal shop i did not know that this was possible using a database storage device a woman appears in the movie without any introduction and is never introduced we learn half way into the movie that this woman works in the district attorney's office then in the correctional center a guard actually precedes jenks through a door and keeps his back to the offender!! this would never happen in a real correctional setting the director really messed on this one this doesn't happen in real life the acting is adequate the plot is good the cinematography is good however the many errors found in the continuity lead to a 3 out of 10 vote

the movie was good really the only reason i watched it was alan rickman which he didn't pull off the southern accent but he did pretty well with it know emma thompson did really good she definitely pulled off the southern accent i like all the character in my opinion not one of them did bad another thing i have notice i have read all these comment and not one person has comment on alan 5 0'clock shadow which made him look even better and he pretty much had one through the whole movie i would give the movie a 9 out of 10 another one of my opinions is the movie would been better if there wasn't any sex still it was alright love the scene were he says aw sh*t when he is setting in his car and see them in his mirror

i bought this adaptation because i really liked anne brontë's novel when i read it some time ago and usually particularly enjoy bbc dramas but i'm very disappointed i never thought it would be as bad as that the whole series made me laugh much more than moved me as the novel had first of all the music and songs seems totally out of place in a period drama sounds as if it's been written for a contemporary horror film and like another commentator i was particularly annoyed by the way the cameras spun and spun round the actors i've seen some scenes filmed that way in north and south and it seemed all right there but in the tenant it's definitely overdone and simply annoying camera movements cannot make wooden acting lively most of the second roles were difficult to distinguish at first and the script lacked clarity none of the characters were properly introduced at first the little boy gave a very good performance he's very cute and the best feature of the film spoilers tara fitzgerald's characterisation of helen graham made her appear cold and harsh letting no emotion pass through she doesn't seem to be able to cry at all in a realistic way i just couldn't believe markham could have fell for her and i'm not mentioning the awful hairdo she was given i could not help feeling some sympathy with her husband! fancy being married to such a virago besides he was the only main actor that sounded right to me toby stephens i found just ok helen graham's brother not very good maybe it's difficult to adapt a novel that deals with such bleak subjects as alcoholism and cruelty besides what is only hinted at and left to the reader's imagination in the book is dwelt upon with complaisance in the tv adaptation making some scenes both gross and comic like when huntingdon's eye starts bleeding and others far too sexed up for a period drama! i mean don't we get enough of those bed scenes in contemporary dramas

the gate to hell has opened up under moscow a priest played by vincent gallo goes to the city to find a friend who has gone missing in the tunnels under the city in an attempt to find the gateway wandering around underground he and his colleagues have to deal with the tunnels inhabitants both human and demonic good idea with a good cast of second tier actors goes nowhere much like the tunnels that are its setting i've watched this twice now and i still have no idea why this is suppose to be scary when not a heck of a lot happens other then people talk about the evil and we see shadow forms nothing is clear and honestly i didn't see the point of it all other than provide a pay check for those involved second billed val kilmer is in a couple of fleeting scenes that don't amount to much other than to allow him to be billed as in the film the idea is really good the performances are fine the script goes nowhere take the advice of several of the characters in the film and don't cross the river to see this

walter matthau and george burns just work so well together the acidity of willy with the perplexed amnesic al is a mixture made in heaven the scene when they meet again in willy's flat is a gem and the final scene rounds up the film to perfection walter matthau gives a superb performance as the irascible semi retired comedian as only he can the intonation in the voice and the exaggerated dramatics coupled with his general misunderstanding of what is going on form a great characterization george burns timing is legendary and nowhere was it better than in this film his calm aplomb with desert dry replies are memorable watch for the scene near the end when al and his daughter ask something of the spanish caretaker and al's reaction priceless

warning spoiler i have to agree with you it was almost there this was such a bad movie about such and interesting true story it had such promise but the acting was ridiculous at best some sets were beautiful and realistic others are something out of a theme park i found myself laughing as i watched what was suppose to be serious scenes i really wanted to like this movie but i couldn't the best part was the fight between friends that ended with the king dying i liked the queens' punishment and the final shot made a beautiful picture though there are so many better movies to watch i don't recommend this

brown of harvard is a hard movie to pin down we expect a lot more from our movies these days so it helps to remember that audiences in the 20's were a bit more innocent william haines is charming as the rogue who has to stumble through pain and humiliation to find success and even glory all of the relationships in the movie feel very stilted except for the homoerotic tie between billy and jack pickford the town nerd the movie has everything romance tears love death and even sports it's a great education in how society has changed in the 20th century

i was skimming over the list of films of richard burton when i came to this title that i recall vividly from when i first saw it on cable in 1982 i remember dialogue from tatum o'neal that was just amazingly bad i remember richard burton's character looking so hopelessly lost and then remembering how his motivations didn't translate to me in short i remember circle of two because it was so phenomenally awful this movie came out at a time when america was going through a rather disturbing period of fascination with unhealthy or skewed angles on teenage sexuality recall the blue lagoon and other brooke shields annoyances lipstick little darlings beau pere and other films that just seemed to dwell on teens having sex particularly with adults as a teenager during this time i found the obsession combined with the sexual excesses of the 70's and 80's made for a subconsciously unsettling environment in which to figure it all out so to speak circle of two is not execrably acted or needlessly prurient like blue lagoon in fact it tackles the question of love between the young and the old in a brave if totally failed way but honestly it is one of those films you will *never* see if you didn't see it on its first run because it was so truly awful no one would want to have this garbage ever surface to be publicly distributed again

and that is only if you like the sight of beautiful woman with nice bouncy jugs running around the so called african jungle so no problems there for most males out there i watched it as one of those bundled together package forget about the plot which is essentially just a flimsy storyline to get our heroine flashing her jugs on screen at every opportunity possible just to give you a sense our heroine swings from vine to vine and climb on top animals at every chance possible for no good reason at all just to let you see her jugs at all angles again no complaints the fight scenes are laughable and borderline on the pornographic our heroine got caught by the baddies at least five times in the movie on occasions when she has to fight the fighting involves rolling around in the dirt grunting unconvincingly and basically fighting like kittens i am surprised no hair pulling is involved it get so bad that the chief baddie had to remind the combatants that i said the one that draw first blood wins! in order to avoid watching anymore stupid fighting the witch doctor kuku was a bloody blast from being a big cuddly bear in the beginning he became manic depressive when captured and then outright psycho he spent the whole movie muttering lines with no irrelevance beside liana our heroine bouncing around topless you also get to see plenty of other amazonians as well as one woman who decided to jump naked into the lake to take a swim for no good reasons yeah it is that kind of movie watch the beautiful liane in her bouncy glory despite the movie being more than 20 years old the allure of watching blond women flashing their nice jugs on screen never gets old

coconut fred's fruit salad island! is a hilarious show that is on saturday mornings on wb it stars coconut fred and all of his friends on the island and every episode is a very funny misadventure of theirs most of the time it is because of coconut fred's trouble making antics which makes it funny and other stuff going on on the island at the same time the humor is great and nobody on the island is very bright at all which adds it being as amusing as it is i don't think this could be funnier the voice talents of the characters are magnificently superior and are exaggerated which adds to the show's hilarity if this is ever on dvd i'm getting it a s a p! strongly recommended for a good laugh

this movie which i just discovered at the video store has apparently sit around for a couple of years without a distributor it's easy to see why the story of two friends living in new york searching for their pal from high school who is now living homeless under the boardwalk at coney island has flashes of being a very good film but ultimately is weighted down by the story focusing on stan and daniel rather than on their homeless friend richie cryer is as usual very good and the film has a nice stark look to it with the ghostly images of coney island however writer cryer and director richard schenkman are too busy dealing with the fairly uninteresting lives of stan and daniel rather than focusing on richie one flashback in a music store where richie has a crush on an employee stands out and really shows the viewer where this film could have gone but in the end not much two many drawn out scenes of annoyance such as inside the skeeball building rating 4 out of 10

how viewers react to this new adaption of shirley jackson's book which was promoted as not being a remake of the original 1963 movie true enough will be based i suspect on the following those who were big fans of either the book or original movie are not going to think much of this one and those who have never been exposed to either and who are big fans of hollywood's current trend towards special effects being the first and last word in how good a film is are going to love it things i did not like about this adaption 1 it was not a true adaption of the book from the articles i had read this movie was supposed to cover other aspects in the book that the first one never got around to and that seemed reasonable no film can cover a book word for word unless it is the length of the stand! and not even then but there were things in this movie that were never by any means ever mentioned or even hinted at in the movie reminded me of the way they decided to kill off the black man in the original movie version of the shining i didn't like that either what the movie's press release should have said is we got the basic very basic idea from shirley jackson's book we kept the same names of the house and several though not all of the leading character's names but then we decided to write our own story and what the heck we watched the changeling and the shining and ghost first and decided to throw in a bit of them too 2 they completely lost the theme of a parapyschologist inviting carefully picked guest who had all had brushes with the paranormal in their pasts to investigate a house that truly seemed to have been born bad no instead this doctor got everyone to the house under the false pretense of studying their insomnia he really invited them there to scare them to death and then see how they reacted to their fear like lab rats who he mentioned never got told they are part of an experiment nice guy this doctor who did not have the same name by the way was as different from the dedicated professional of the original movie as night from day 3 in direct contrast to the statement that was used to promote both movies some houses are just born bad this house was not born bad but rather became bad because of what happened there and this time around nel gets to unravel the mystery shades of the changeling the only problem was the so called mystery was so incoherently told that i'm sure it remained a mystery to most of the audience but then there was no mystery in the first place not in the book because the house was bad to begin with it's first victim died before ever setting eyes on it 4 the way the character of luke was portrayed was absolutely ridiculous he was supposed to be a debonair playboy who was someday to inherit the house and was a true skeptic of it's history and in this one he was just a winey voiced bumbling nerd who couldn't sleep insomnia remember and was a compulsive liar 5 i was also annoyed with the way the movie jumped from almost trying to recreate original scenes word for word the scene with nel's sister's family and mrs dudley's little opening speech to going off into flights of fancy that made me think more of these other movies than the haunting it's like it couldn't make up its mind what it wanted to do 6 i missed nel's narrative through the whole movie the original was so like a gothic novel in the way that the story was mostly told in the first person through nel's eyes and we always were privy to her thoughts that totally unique touch was completely lost in the new version they also tried to make nel much more of a heroine the original nel was not a bad person but she was a bitter person could she be otherwise after sacrificing 11 years of her life to a selfish old woman and a spiteful sister and she liked to moan and she lost her temper this one was almost too good to be true this was never more apparent than in the climax of the movie where the writer's had obviously been watching ghost one too many times 7 they changed the history of the house and it's occupents too much there was no abigail crain the daughter of hugh whose legend loomed large in the original versions there was no companion and there was no nursery there was also no grace wife of the original doctor and hugh crain's wives died in totally different ways these changes changed the story way too much i don't know whether the producers of this movie should be glad shirley jackson no longer walks this earth or whether they should be sorry if ya get my drift!!! the hauntings she could envision are not something to be trifled with!!! in conclusion let me just leave you with some words from the original luke appropriate substitution of the word house for movie ! this 'movie' should be burnt to the ground and the ground sprinkled with salt! my favorite movie of all time remains so no competition from this one

as a fan of wm faulkner since college i was especially pleased to see intruder in the dust and for other reasons my grandfather also named clarence brown as was the director grew up in the oxford area having been born near there in 1888 we attended a week long family reunion at oxford in july 1964 a mere 15 years after filming the movie it still looked mostly like it does in the film but was going thru a period of civil rights upheaval then as the site of ole miss my recollection is of its being a nice little college town that summer but i was just an 18 year old college sophomore and white i was just then beginning to see the injustice of segregation and prejudice but still had a long way to go anyhow the movie is well worth watching but the filmmakers must have had to walk a tight rope to get it done there and i would love to know more about that story now days oxford is a larger more modern college town with all the ills that go along with such things and i hope to return again to see how it must have changed socially in the last 40 plus years juano hernandez should certainly have been nominated for an oscar that year but hollywood was still to bigoted itself to let that happen other faulkner stories have been filmed so look for them and compare one of the best was a pbs treatment of the barn burner from about 1985 or so starring tommy lee jones it really captured the intensity of rural southern whites that faulkner wrote so incisively about so often

i just caught farewell to the king on cable and maybe it's just because i'm a girl but i thought this was on the craptastic side the script and direction are pretentious once i found out john milius was responsible it all became clear the supporting actors actually weren't bad james fox was outstanding the biggest disappointment was nick nolte who i usually enjoy once he goes native he starts speaking a very stiff stilted english and half the time he seems kind of distracted as if he'd just smoked some of the bounty of borneo's rain forest and then the end what the learoyd just happens to be on the same boat as the botanist by the way had the botanist dumped the girlfriend or what the boat just happens to run aground conveniently close to an island ripe takeover by a crazy anglo ex headhunting army deserter

a great suspense movie with terrific slow camera work adding to the dramatics makes this a treat to watch and enjoy director writer brian de palma does a super hitchcock imitation many called it a ripoff with this film and the 2 35 1 widescreen dvd is a must to fully appreciate the camera work and several scenes with people hiding on each side which are lost on formatted for tv tapes the downside of the movie at least to anyone that has some kind of moral standard is the general sleaziness of all the characters including the policeman played by a pre nypd dennis franz who has hair here! the opening scene is still shocking with a fairly long shower scene of angie dickinson that is quite explicit even 25 years after its release the film has several erotic scenes in it as dickinson if that is really her on the closeups and nancy allen are not shy about showing their bodies there is not much dialog in the first 20 minutes and no bad language until franz enters the picture after the murder the first 36 minutes are riveting and even though it's apparent who the killer is it's still very good suspense and fun to watch all the way through particularly for males ogling the naked women

choose your fate the terrible tykes of the fourth form playing practical jokes that involve axes or the ummm well developed girls of the sixth form who discovered some time ago cigarettes gin sex and how easily men can be led astray the problem is that one set comes with the other they are all there at st trinian's that remarkably easy going english school for girls led by headmistress millicent fritton alastair sim as miss fritton is fond of pointing out in other schools girls are sent out quite unprepared into a merciless world but when our girls leave here it is the merciless world which has to be prepared miss fritton sounds something like a melding of julia child and eleanor roosevelt and definitely has sim's droll and deadpan comic genes in the belles of st trinian's a sly chaotic comedy from the team of frank launder and sidney gilliat st trinian's is as usual on the brink of financial disaster salvation may be at hand however when a rich sheik sends his daughter to join the fourth form and receive a proper english education the sheik also is a horse owner and one of his prize racers arab boy is being trained near the school for a race it's only a matter of time before the fourth form girls form a racing pool and bet heavily on arab boy with miss fritton adding to the pool what funds the school has left much of the fourth form girl's money comes from the gin they make in chemistry then bottle and lower by rope to flash harry george cole a cockney fixer for distribution it's got something i don't know quite what says miss fritton on sampling the stuff but send a few bottles up to my room miss fritton however has a brother clarence fritton who by some coincidence of casting also is alastair sim a bookmaker who not only has placed a bundle on another horse but who also has a daughter and he has placed the precocious arabella in the sixth form to keep him informed soon the sixth form has kidnapped arab boy the fourth form has taken the horse back flash harry has joined forces with miss fritton the sixth form girls are determined that arab boy will not leave the second floor of st trinian's clarence and his homburg wearing gang have arrived parents are driving up for parent's day and the ministry of education has arrived in the person of a very proper inspector total war breaks out at st trinian's it's hard to say which is more dangerous the african spears or the flour bombs alastair sim as millicent fritton turns in a tour de force performance miss fritton is a tall woman with a stately bosom fond of long gowns with embroidered lace and edwardian hats with lots of feathers she takes everything in stride even a fourth former pounding at something in chemistry class and after hearing an explosion a few minutes later the results oh dear i told bessie to be careful with that nitro glycerine! she is firm in believing that st trinian's is a gay arcadia of happy girls sim was one of britain's great eccentric actors other than the sheer chaos of all the little and not so little girls doing terrible things he delivers much of the film's pleasure

this movie was absolutely wonderful the pre partition time and culture has been recreated beautifully urmila has given yet another brilliant performance what i truly admire about this movie is that it doesn't resort to pakistan bashing that is running rampant in movies like gadar and loc with the partition as a backdrop the movie does not divert to political issues or focus on violence or what is right and wrong the movie always centers around the tragic story of urmila's life her fragile relationship with manoj bajpai has been depicted excellently the movie actually shows how the people both hindus and muslims have suffered from this partition the theme that there is only one religion is truly prevalent in this film

a terrible amateur movie director no not todd sheets his new friend and sister explore a cave the friend and sister fall in and get rescued meanwhile a gang of horribly acted girls are defending their 'turf' whatever the heck that means this film and i use the term very loosely is so bad that it's well bad the humor is painfully unfunny the action merely sad now i've seen some atrociously awful 'horror' films in my time & failed to grow jaded in my approach to watching low budget films yet i still weep openly for anyone who choose to sit through this only for the most hardened maschocists amongst you but the rest run away fast!! my grade f

this movie could have been a lot better than it was if hadn't been a disney film i thought that the young girl playing shirley was all right you could tell that she was really trying to do the job right the teenage shirley temple wasn't right at all i think that they should have spent last time on her childhood the first hour should have been about the young shirley then the last hour should have been about the older shirley this was a boring movie and not a good shirley temple story

i'm surprised that no one yet has mentioned that there are two versions of this same film the lion's share of the footage in both is identical but here is where they differ in one version the version i have seen most often on broadcast tv the group of clerics guarding the gateway consists of the brotherhood of the protectors a fictional splinter group of priests and brothers excommunicated by the church in the other version which i've seen only once on tv the clerics guarding the gateway are depicted as priests of the official church meaning the archdiocese of new york or perhaps brooklyn also in the former version in most of the pertinent scenes the clerics are referred to as brothers and in some scenes you can see where the lips say father so and so but the dubbed audio says brother so and so in the latter version i believe everyone is referred to as father in any event it seems that one of these two versions is more or less a partial re shooting of the other with all brotherhood of the protector scenes re shot as archdiocese scenes or vice versa kind of reminds me of the raymond burr cutaway scenes in godzilla i have videotaped both versions off broadcast tv so no i'm not imagining this can anyone shed some more light on the story behind these two versions of the film

there is a dvd published in the uk in 2002 code hrgd002 on the cover no asin vfc 19796 on the disk no ifpi code in the inner rim probably a straight transfer from vhs there is no much point is commenting an adult film but this one contains a minimal plot and the characters are believable it was shown in the united states in normal cinemas i've seen it in pensylvannia way back in 1975 as such it deserves a place in an encyclopedia of movies the dvd has no special features and no subtitles and was probably made using a vhs tape as source

don't watch this film while or soon after eating having said that begotten will stick with you for the rest of your life like it or not based on the nihilistic philosophy that life is nothing more than man spasming above ground to paraphrase the title sequence introduction this will more than likely contain the most intense and grisly imagery you'll ever see in a film there is no dialogue only image after image describing the cycle of life the film's combination of stark black and white photography compounded with some truly creepy background sounds work to drive home the maker's message the movie begins with god portrayed as a bandaged and obviously insane man slicing open his torso with a straight razor and subsequently dying in his own filth after his death mother nature emerges from his corpse to impregnate herself with his blood and semen and gives birth to man represented by a maggot of a human convulsing on the earth the landscape is a barren waste populated by hulking shrouded humanoids who eventually happen upon mother nature and man after a slew of violent scenes depicting the rape of nature and destruction of man these humanoids proceed to pound the remains of the corpses back into the ground and the cycle of life begins anew i actually rented this from blockbuster one night based on the cover art and hype content but this is definitely not a blockbuster type film don't expect narrative dialogue or any pulled punches this is intense imagery based on a dark subject i give this movie some high marks for the filmwork and audio but i don't think i'll be watching it too often if again i like my movies dark and unique but this one is exponentially more than i expected

this cheapo exploitation flick is some genuinely insipid stuff courtesy of spaghetti land director lamberto bava who wisely left his name off this junk the basic crux of this outing concerns the discovery of some brutally mutilated individuals being washed up on shore in the caribbean authorities initially believe them to be victims of shark attacks but as the investigation unravels turns out to be something much more sinister all of this ultimately amounts to very little however we have here poor dubbing complimented by similarly weak script which often consists of nonsensical jabbering and is really of little consequence for the most part acting can only be described as sub par which is par for the course in this instance truly lax direction doesn't help things either special effect mainly is for numerous close ups of various gory bodies missing limbs and so forth of course there is the obligatory creature which periodically emerges at feeding time which looks something like a big monster octopus thing where its animation only consists of its pointed teeth ascending and descending in rhythmic articulation overall the end result is none too convincing sure but admittedly is almost entertaining in a cheesy kind of fashion it seems what the film makers were going for was a sort of low rent hybrid of jaws and piranha but the final product is just a bloody shambles much like the corpses incessantly shown throughout this picture i find it difficult to think of any redeeming attributes to warrant viewing this so moreover strictly for incurable monster movie addicts

walt disney's 20th animated feature was the last one to be greenlighted by the great man himself he died in late 1966 and is not generally considered to be among their very best output the main problem is that on the surface the film seems merely to be the feline version of either lady and the tramp 1955 or 101 dalmations 1961 both of which are certainly more beloved by fans even so being both an animation and cat lover i dug this reasonably bouncy concoction in which a pampered female cat voiced by eva gabor and her three little kittens are thrown out onto the streets of paris by a wealthy lady hermione baddeley 's greedy butler luckily they meet a streetwise alley cat phil harris who guides them on the journey back and are further aided along the way by a feline jazz band led by scatman crothers and two helpful and amiably dopey dogs meanwhile at home edgar the butler celebrates his supposed inheritance and the mouse and the horse do their bit to help their fellow feline pets legendary entertainer maurice chevalier was whisked back from retirement to sing the title song which includes a verse in french and scatman's band indulge in a breezy number ev'rybody wants to be a cat

i first saw this movie at a video store and being the bam margera fan i am had to rent it to see what it was all about since i have a huge and stupid note the word stupid sense of humor i found this movie absolutely hilarious some of the parts are pointless and random but that's what makes them so amusing you'll need to think things like getting slapped in the face and bashed on the head with a watermelon are funny in order to appreciate this movie i was really impressed i was also surprised at the acting these people actually did a good job nothing oscar worthy but well enough to get past the amateur level teens and young adults would probably find this more entertaining because of the modern slang and situations used i wouldn't suggest watching this with your parents and vice versa all in all the acting was great the script was hilarious and the story is really something you can relate to

i loved it it was really gruesome and disgusting i thought that the tearing of the human flesh was thoroughly provacative the way that it was depicting the human crucifix about jesus christ was really interesting the tearing about limbs and jaws was awesome brutally gruesome don't watch this if you have a weak heart you wouldn't be able to stand it

citizen kane the godfather part ii d'urville martin's dolemite this is the single greatest piece of celluloid ever created and unleashed upon humanity rudy ray moore in a role that transcends academy awards stars as dolemite the baddest cat in the universe he clearly does not take any jive from no turkey i myself am unfortunately a turkey and proves it with his powers of rapping pimping and karate chopping this is blaxploitation at its absolute finest a shining example of the genre with its low budget continuity errors and hatred for rat soup eating honkey expletive expletive the true godfather of rap not this new ali nonsense moore is something of a juxtaposition of acting technique somehow managing to be the most charismatic awful actor of the 1970's and thats saying something this one is highly recommended folks if not for the one liners alone

ok on the whole this three part documentary will bring most interested people up to date with going's on in the world of physics and the last 300 years of discovery of our universe if you have read stephen hawkings brilliant book a brief history of time and understood it then you might benefit from the visual description of certain concepts which i did to a certain extent greene is bearable but obviously for the sake of the masses tends to explain things in a slighty patronising way this is of course deliberate and will be perfect for almost everyone who watches this series the guest scientists were good no hawking but i suppose he has his own dvd s i kept waiting for him to appear but they rotate through the same ones for almost 3 parts very american weighted here with a few brits and one antipodean i bought the nova 2 disc edition ntsc and there were a few inclusions that really detracted from the overall experience 1 the this is brought to you by at the start of each part was a necessary evil for the first part but seeing it 2 more times before it was over was very ordinary 2 can't be helped i suppose but there is quite a bit of overlap at the start of 2 and 3 which had me reaching for the ffw button a few times 3 this disc set was straight from tv ie ads what happen last show for those that missed it and frequent goto pbs org for more appearing throughout the presentation quite unlike bbc material which is unmatched for presentation planets the blue planet etc my 7 10 is based on content alone the niggles were there but i got over them if this had have been done with that classic british accented presenter you know the one it would be a perfect disc set in my opinion if you have seen this and want more then i highly recommend hawkings book a brief history of time i wish it was a movie too happy viewing
