this is a superb film and was immediately put in my top ten trust me i know films it's one of the movies that really makes you think not necessarily about the storyline but about yourself the film is about a fifteen year old kid fitzgerald who kills an boy he is sent to juvenile hall where he meets pearl madison his teacher his relationship with pearl slowly grows and eventually pearl decides to write a story on and his peers but as he gets closer to finding out motive he learns he must deal with his own issues first br br this is a great film and a must see with great music by the and a fantastic score watch it

had great expectations because of its spectacular theme and its high budget i was really looking forward to it and i really wanted it to be good but it is not the only good thing are the special effects that are very well done but like in a really bad hollywood blockbuster everything else is missing br br it is poorly written the screenplay tries to fulfill genre rules with standard suspense love story elements but there is no depth or originality at all it's way below average the next thing it is also poorly directed it has this uninteresting tv directing style with lots of close ups and wanna be great action by fast editing where actually no action or suspense is the actors are not bad but there is no performance that is touching in any way br br i don't know they obviously try to do a typical tv movie and not a film for the cinema where its good to have some edges and a clear visual style but why do they try to fulfill typical commercial hollywood rules it really feels like the screenwriter did a weekend class with some american guru and then delivered this mess is there no producer who is responsible for the project who has an interest in visual style or plain in simple this magical cinematic moments that make some tv movies great do they think that an tv audience is stupid and doesn't need to get a high quality movie experience the downfall was a very good example for a good tv movie but there was probably some executive or producer who knew what he was doing br br don't waste you time with this one rent downfall instead

i think it is saying something that the bollywood bride and prejudice stayed more faithful to the source material than this 2005 hollywood version did i also laughed more at the bollywood version mr priceless if you have read the book or seen the 1995 bbc version and liked them you will be in for a nasty surprise going in to this film then my friend however who had seen neither was mildly amused by the film if you are a jane austen though or even a film goer who historical inaccuracies it will be painful to sit through this br br ugh the script the script was the biggest problem i imagine the actors wouldn't have half so badly if they'd had a decent script perhaps penned by somebody who actually loved work br br what were committed well you'll be forced to endure such lines as don't you dare judge me and leave me alone for once in your lives not only are such lines far from anything that could come from jane pen but can anyone honestly believe words like that from the mouth of a young lady from the era the usage of modern is one of the many irritating ways that the screenwriter the book the writer also decided to give characters lines that in the book were said by a completely different characters and all for no apparent purpose worse of all when they do try to stick a bit closer to the writing the screenwriter has a nasty and unnecessary habit of phrases and awkward for her already perfect words it was as if the screenwriter sat down with the book in one hand and a in the other when writing the script stick to words she did it better than you i assume all of this was done in a spirit and in an effort to distance this film from the iconic 1995 bbc version however for me it also made a travesty of the true spirit of most beloved work br br the casting did have potential though it was quickly away once the script kicked in but and your crooked teeth does not equal charm and and i think mr though i find him handsome enough his script and was under the impression he was playing and not the mr i really did enjoy brenda kelly and the actor who played mr collins their interpretations were really rather refreshing br br oh but donald sutherland somebody described his performance as seeming like a who had accidentally onto the movie set and i must say it is an apt description and can somebody tell me why they fashioned after though he was in the movie for under two minutes i and without his impressive skills to up the movie br br on a wardrobe note i would kill for miss dresses because they were and would fit in more with the modern century a evening please more than austen that is sure and poor all of the budget went to her and not her wardrobe oh and i'm sure they eventually caught the bastard who stole the one from the movie set unfortunately they didn't catch him soon enough to the before filming rolled br br in short with this new hollywood version to subtlety and wit because you'll be getting the complete opposite

the movie is really cool i thought it sticks to the original game quite well and some of the battle scenes are depicted in such high detail it's incredible i thought the movie could have been a little better if they'd give you a little more information before the end but trying to figure out what's going on is what on you this movie br br the cg is beautiful i don't think they could have done a better job graphics wise every little detail the way they move the way their swords look everything is perfect the way they make the characters look is almost like they're real people br br the music was great and i found it entertaining to listen to just how much of it was from the original game with new and effects br br all and all i'd recommend this movie to anyone that enjoys fast paced action and a good storyline i would definitely play the game before i'd watch the movie though

it must be a long time ago that i have seen such a bad movie i have to say it is really hard to make a good and or realistic movie about air disaster but this movie was such a waste of time and money also i think this is an way trying to get a bad reputation on first the look a lot like an second you got a stick third using computers to control via fly by wire when i saw this movie i thought like the intention of the film was don't fly with like use instead they have a direct connection of and br br all i can say bad story horrible acting most of the actors worst film trick ever

head is a film that has held up well since its original release date in 1968 the movie is a complete of the image it presents the in a way their fans never perceived them men with real thoughts totally controlled by their producers the were given the opportunity to tell their side of the story the film fun at their image the entertainment industry and corporate america the soundtrack contains some of their best music it's a movie well worth seeing over and over again

when the trailer for accepted first came up many people began to get excited about seeing it really excited who could blame them it looked like fun but that's exactly the thing people went into accepted looking for a good movie but if you think about it accepted isn't the type of film destined to be a good movie it's meant to be a film that its crowd without too much effort being given that being said for those of you who expected a great film you need to think about what could be made of a comedy like this one think that and you will truly enjoy the film because you'll rid yourself of your idea that the movie will be fantastic bottom line watch the movie and have fun but don't look for anything groundbreaking

one dark night has a typical teen horror film set up with a quite a unique twist the ultra brooding musical score and gothic claustrophobic atmosphere adds greatly to this small film that delivers meg is excellent as julie and leads us through the of the giving a sense of foreboding and loneliness the other teens are equally effective in their roles as is melissa newman the ultimate heroine of the film the special effects are excellent though dated this film is highly overlooked but that may be good so that it was never ruined by endless sequels there is a great dark magic flowing through this film once into you really get it and you're in for some fun the double disc dvd is available though the original negative could not be found to the film maybe someday it will be located i guess in some ways the in parts do help the film by giving it an old school and making it more unexpected at the end when suddenly there are plenty of effects br br the second disc has a rough cut alternate version with a score version of the film that gives more explanation of the demise of two of the girls very poe ish the of comes to mind in a new way also great ending tension going in on the dark crypt opening not sure it had the punch for main stream audiences but certainly worked for me and extremely creepy also there is a making of documentary that is interesting because it gives info on what was going on at the time with the actors crew director and writer material then current discussions of shots and scenes very unique that this stuff exists for a small film back then

master of the thieves br br watch some movie steal some parts of them write a script it must be very easy to be a director in turkey i think watched identity 2003 saw 2004 a few series which is about crime murder etc then he said i have found it after that he wrote the script of the movie br br you can guess the murderer at the beginning of the movie it took only 10 minutes for me he i'm the murderer i'm the murderer there is no mystery br br is same exaggerated funny macho man br br there is only one good thing in the movie the performance of is very good you may see the movie just for that

why does this piece of film have so many raving reviews br br this is amateurish unfunny and annoying br br the only memorable thing here is the corny title song br br the production values are low and the comedic if you want to call them that ideas are weak they seem like of from snl that even they would not dare to have put on the screen br br i'm beginning to thoroughly imdb ratings br br this is light years away from kentucky fried movie not even in the same galaxy br br it's not even possible to write 10 lines about it br br ok another good thing ugly street scenes and ugly people something one doesn't get to see a lot in todays tv and movies

i cannot believe that the actors agreed to do this film i could not stand to even watch it for very long for fear of losing i q points for each passing second i guess that nobody at the network that aired this watched it before putting it on imdb ratings only go as low 1 for awful it's time to get some negative numbers in there for cases such as these

i was into watching shark hunter by the comments posted on imdb the movie was bad but the shark was cool blah blah blah so i rented it bad idea this movie was bad on so many levels that i'm glad that i had the option to fast forward the shark itself is ok it's appearance is decent and it is the only thing saving this movie from getting a 1 i gave it a 2 the acting is incredibly bad and the dialogue is just as i wasn't expecting much but i was continually surprised by this antonio jr is some kind of or scientist or something i wasn't really paying attention he goes down with the crew of this submarine to find out what happened to this underwater station that the shark took out of course by the way all the scenes that show someone working underwater are not underwater first of all if they are just going down to find out what happened to this station what's with all the huge and the and stuff are these things that you normally carry with you when investigating a accident the shark theory was advanced by antonio while on the way so it not like they went in knowing what they were up against antonio and this young college student horrible actress by the way just jump to the controls of the sub when the sub is in trouble what is with that unless everyone is getting some kind of sub training before leaving high school i find this a little silly the director seems to think that if crew members are working in the background then it is a good idea to put someone in the background metal is very important when your on a sub i guess anyway i could go on but i've said too much already bottom line go to your local video store rent this video and then destroy it then send email asking imdb to remove all record of this movie from their site all memory and evidence of this movie must be destroyed we can do it if we work together

some would argue that director la is an exercise in that while the silent films to which pays homage were at the cutting edge of cinema when they were made they are outdated today leaving la a meaningless br br i would disagree la the conventions of the silent film with 21st century technology making it the ultimate exercise in post modern film making br br the film is set in the timeless the city without a voice so called because the citizens have been rendered speechless by mr tv a dictator media with his hair painted on the city resembles the titular one in fritz metropolis perhaps 100 years before that film it is all tv and animated br br the citizens of the city are by la the voice the only person with the gift of speech her face by a hood kept on even when she is naked la is forced to sing on mr tv's television network but when mr tv a plan to steal the written word as well la and her son join forces with a family in an attempt to return the freedom of speech to the people br br la is nothing but pure cinema himself with the conventions of the silent film has to rely upon images to tell his story there is sound most notably in the almost continuous score by leo it evokes the best of silent movie music as well as working itself into the film's such as the of car or the of and underlying the whole film is a familiar as if it were being shown on an ancient br br there is a fair amount of dialogue as well but instead of using has the characters' words appear in the frame they are larger or smaller filling the screen or in the air depending on what is being said think a more imaginative version of the subtitles in night watch 2004 br br thankfully the words don't distract from the images which is very fortunate indeed because la boasts some of the most creative and original images we've seen in a long time all captured by black and white photography there are the the singer and her son there is the city's abandoned which looks like the remains of some spider and there's the sinister dr y whose mouth is displayed on a television screen attached to his face br br la has been for relying too much on its imagery while on the depth but again i would disagree it is true that the sudden appearance of a mind control machine shaped like a or the boy seemingly on a star of david feels out of place a tad over the top in what is otherwise merely a well crafted fairy tale br br but the lack of overt symbols the two previous examples aside works in the film's favour it allows us to make up our own minds to decide whether to political meaning to see la as an allegory for the danger of and the power and responsibility of the media or to just take the film at face value as a visually stunning adventure through a world simultaneously unique and familiar br br the sacrifice of explicit depth in favour of unique imagery may seem like a compromise but really when a film looks as good as this it's hard to care there is more imagination and artistry in every frame of la than hollywood can shake a derivative stick at films almost 100 years old might be but in doing so may be showing us what is lacking in the films of today he may be telling us that it is time for another artistic revolution and he may be right

this is apparently the first film featuring gloria the film that made her a star while she was good in the film i can't see how this performance in particular was so noteworthy at the time but still it was a very good film br br gloria plays the wife of a rich that continually takes her for granted he cares little for his eats and forgets their and at the same time a comes into their lives and begins paying a lot of attention to gloria and her husband doesn't even notice or give her any reason not to cheat on him ultimately she her and marries the smooth talking romeo however while the movie could have just been an overdone melodrama they were pretty common at the time it takes some interesting twists and turns and is an imaginative and fun film while not the greatest silent film i have seen it is a standout and deserves to be remembered br br by the way the dvd release from image entertainment is surprisingly good with a decent print and music this hasn't always been true of other image releases particularly how they handled the chaplin releases

this 1 hour 30 minute inside joke is best understood by the number one religion of self comedians the world over that isn't to say it can't stand on its own which it does that the film isn't without its flaws which its got technical issues mostly belief that in 1998 digital was the answer when in fact it was in its a of a if you will and re will never improve it for the love of god hal please get yourself a red one or three br br if you like hartley films of course you'll like it i liked it because i liked grim fool and there were added benefits of retrospect i couldn't help a disturbing self prophecy an used as a of in this 1998 movie it was as if had gotten the whole idea from hal it's true hartley moves his players round into the camera like it's the house of just one piece of the that needs a rest after all we're already paying attention to the actors and the writing is alive not great writing but can i use the word intelligent not condescending br br absolutely love harvey in this course i'd love her anywhere oddly if helen needs a younger self she should look harvey up and bring a bottle of blond

if it would of had jack black listed as the leading actor i would of stayed away from this movie right away it actually makes some of his movies look good compared to this movie this movie should of been filmed as a cartoon for ages 3 8 and it would of been a lot better it is nothing but a bunch of the stupidest skits from other movies put together to make one big mess the movie looks like it was shot in about one day with no thought at all behind it there's a few times where it looks like maybe there's gonna be a turning point and the movie well actually have plot to the movie or at least a storyline would develop but the stupid skits inserted just ruin the whole movie

its difficult to be too tough on brad sykes a hard working guy doing what he loves there is an honesty about him that seems often lacking with other directors check out the crew credits on camp blood there is none of the usual everyone down to the pizza joint they ate in its brad and his buddies and thats it no pretentious rubbish jennifer isn't your average horror flick heroine but does well enough for you to hardly notice looks like a star and joseph is so funny it hurts the clown is hardly an original horror film bad guy but the design is good does a decent job of bringing him to life and the image nicely with the rural backdrop camp blood is horror as blue collar and basic as it gets not a good thing not a bad thing just a thing

is a comedian and a comedian to anyone looking for a good time his first film which is entirely his own creation and production tells the story of a struggling chicago actor james aaron with whom jeff obviously he wonderfully james to marty and to jackie poor soul as he exposes with an array of actors that in real life are friends many who are fellow second city br br he delightfully uses sarah and absurd humor to how despite common sense and talent life's can too often frustration bonnie hunt gives an endearing performance as a romantic interest br br don't let a simple story you the characters and conflicts are well thought out and ring true those that follow career and understand that his humor is based on telling reality not necessarily creating fiction which too easily can be contrived will appreciate his dialogue driven story br br we surely will see working much more as director and writer with other talented intelligent comedic actors who the great challenge of making life funny

it is unsettling seeing so many people giving outrageously high ratings to this film some of the praise uses such twisted reasoning and transparent that a simple love of anything that is in any way critical of the u s that it approaches br br gate is a bad movie it is awful endless scenes using elaborate shots that serve no purpose dialogue murky no sense of any theme aside from excess br br the high rating of this disaster is a product of history and temporary shifts in perception br br for some perspective watch lawrence of before watching gate you will see just how and lost this film truly is the issues it may have been trying to deal with are lost in a br br i have no problem with films that are critical of the u s per se but when a terrible film gets such praise purely because of that element that's worth challenging br br the film is worth seeing for two reasons curiosity and as a tale for young filmmakers br br i saw this at home for free imagine the torture of being in a theater and sitting through it for 4 meandering hours

in the that hollywood productions have become of late this movie in and of itself is truly from heaven br br in what could best be described as a cute movie approximately years of movie acting experience give or take 100 years lights up the screen to tell a tale of and redemption about a catholic family in buffalo ny br br truly well to take its place in the feel good movie genre this quiet little independent film by the burton five sisters productions company will leave a smile on your face and joy in your heart all while your faith in mankind br br from the spectacular opening scene shots of buffalo ny to the final credits the film manages to tell a tale that could have been told of any family anywhere yet somehow this particular gathering of family and family by association in a small non house in buffalo more than fits the bill if you've never been to buffalo you'll leave the theater with thoughts of off for a visit shots of the city and surroundings help to bring a quaint down to earth tone to the film which suits it just fine the quiet beauty of the queen city of the great rather than from the tale that is being told if only more movies would take advantage of the natural beauty of this country's second cities instead of running off to a somewhere the end results would be so much more believable br br great performances by shirley jones frank wendy jill and the rest of the ensemble cast prove again that true talent hollywood's flavor of the week any time br br go see this movie br br you've in hollywood's desert for too long

this movie just felt very true to life i liked the ending which seemed to resolve naturally without any big moments but with a lot of little moments coming together you could tell it is an honest love story it doesn't matter what the of the main characters are it still a story about love and understanding br br there were a lot of scenes that involved the family the setting is during what for some people is a very time namely the holidays christmas to be precise br br like most good films this one issues of love fitting in expectations and can't be overcome in the end alexandra and make a choice for each other knowing that love is difficult and about giving well done

this is one of the classic twilight zone episodes where with the of situations the viewer was drawn into a seemingly symbolic conflict only to find the solution surprising and strangely acceptable five figures are inside a prison a major a a a clown and a tramp they are certainly an odd choice of types to be in this isolation chamber but they are all in it nevertheless and they are trying to figure out why they are there what have they in common none can figure it out but gradually the major them into working to bet out by standing on each other's shoulders and the major going to the top of the line of figures does reach the entrance and i'll leave it like that although one of the other on this thread actually gives the story away br br the title seems to be suggested by six characters in search of an author famous play whether the actual purpose to the show was to spoof that play is questionable characters analyze their roles and relations with each other but the five characters here while they try to understand their situation are totally in the dark they are not in the situation of the six characters in who know their current situations this of what is going on allows the viewers to think it is an abstract drama br br the actors william as the major and murray as the clown in particular give good accounts of themselves and the conclusion whether planned as a spoof or not is quite effective

this movie reminded me of the live dramas of the 1950s not like the recent which seemed more of a stunt than anything else but a true moral drama that is both engaging and thought provoking anne is more than credible as the army officer having an affair with her superior played by sam shepard and eric is wonderful as her lawyer defending her against the military establishment i found myself waiting for their affair to begin if only because they look so good together this movie is apparently based on a true story and it's a relief to be asked to think about real issues for a change br br directed by christopher who also did the passion of with and the prime suspect series this is a movie with and style and is absolutely worth seeing

let me say first off that i am a huge fan of the original series and the book it was based from i have put off watching this sequel for the better part of 10 years due to the bad reviews i'd heard about it if tommy lee jones wasn't playing capt call i didn't see the point if larry wasn't involved why should i care how wrong i was br br this is in so many ways a worthy sequel to maybe even more so than the dark mood of streets of the story acting production cinematography are all top notch of course the script isn't as colorful as but it has it's moments and much to my surprise there are bits of done in this series the relationship between july and clara completely in the prequel is brought up here almost identical to the book a most welcome surprise the story isn't all it has it's surprises too by far the biggest surprise is jon interpretation of capt call while not a direct copy of tommy lee jones' his is both faithful and unique to credit the cast is fantastic all across the board and i don't think rick has done a better job of acting than in this series oliver reed practically steals the show here he is superb in a role that makes you care for his character as equally as you hate him br br it is worth it to watch this if you haven't due to bad criticisms especially that the dvd is so i got the 2 disc set for 10 99 you can probably find it cheaper it is in no way the disappointment that dead man's walk turned out well it was for me and was involved with that one

when i first watched this film i thought that it would be good because it featured my favourite actor of all time he gives a sterling performance though it is fairly obvious he didn't have to life more than half a finger to make the work he is the only good thing in it you're into explosions and american dream working class hero trash which i'm not br br i don't get it how can this film get away with being so that bit with the little boy being rescued i mean come on you can't tell me that he would have been rescued without the fire guy wearing any i know for a fact that it would have been pitch black in there and you can't see for more than a couple of feet of you and no breathing equipment he'd have after 2 minutes this film was just bad ok br br why robert br br sorry if this is your favourite film

rock star is a well told hollywood style rendition of the tale based on fact actually on how became rob replacement for priest mark on his likable boy ish charm and performed with believable admirably something he has been known to do since the release of boogie nights br br stephen no stranger to themed movies takes the audience through the wonders of the lifestyle of an species the hair metal rock god acts as the film's host plays the who gets to see his wish come true his likable character quickly wins over the heart of the viewer who wants to see him succeed and gets the chance to give him the metal goat horn hand sign several times over br br the only real complaint with the story is that the supporting cast namely the other members of the band were not fleshed out or even introduced properly more interaction with these life long rock musicians would have and new surroundings br br naturally rock star is filled with great music score the steel original work and plenty of 80's style metal hits makes this soundtrack a must have let's all hope that films like rock star not only give a credibility to a style of music that helped define a generation but also spark a very needed revival

this this coming of age set in chicago in the early 60's we follow a group of friends as they through the ups and downs of their lives the two central characters are jackson and his best friend richard morris hilton both of these boys have promising is a great writer but a lazy student and has just received a college for basketball when they're not hanging out at the local diner shooting with their friends or hanging out at a friends house or chasing girls they're skipping school riding the trains through chicago or going to quarter parties on the br br things go wrong when and make the mistake of getting involved with two and go in a stolen car the police pursue them and they are arrested but thanks to the efforts of a concerned teacher morris they are released but the two are not and to get revenge on and thinking they blamed the whole thing on them br br this movie is very episodic but it still works because thats what life is a series of episodes some funny some sad some romantic some bizarre the film never gets boring because all the characters are so well played and realistic and the situations are all believable and like pursuing a beautiful girl or a party turning violent when some decides to start a fight or dealing with a younger sibling but even when a situation isn't personally like the guys pretending to be undercover cops to con a hooker out of some money so they could get all their friends into a movie the sequence is still hilarious br br was the basis for the classic 70's sitcom ' which aired on abc from 1976 1979 even though the show is most famous for the character he is not in this film nor is there any character remotely like him the humor of that show was very broad but still funny the humor of is to life and thus more entertaining br br additionally the soundtrack is wonderful classic songs from that period by diana ross the the martha the and robinson play throughout the film adding to the fun youthful tone of the film

i had read online reviews this obscure outing as a combination of gory horror quirky black comedy and borderline art house the film has elements of all three to be sure but they are at the service of such a silly premise the title immediately gives the game away – and amateurish production to boot – that its long term neglect due to a lack of proper distribution – basically until cult epics picked it up for dvd release a full 30 years after its – was no great loss to cinema or even the genre s the bed was apparently created for the purpose of a with a woman anyway a dying man who had made use of the four poster and even painted it ends up trapped in the wall behind the and provides commentary to the several people from teenagers on a to gangsters in hiding supply fodder to the hungry bed latest on the menu are a trio of girls – one of whom however recalls its mistress of long ago and consequently the bed seemingly fears her seeing various objects – from to pieces of fried chicken – and people getting up the belly of the bed is depicted as a of honey colored makes the film mildly amusing at times especially when a young man's hands are reduced to their which he seems to take rather too easily in his but also awfully that at even a brief minutes the whole pointless exercise feels strained and downright desperate

jewel thief is a rare breed of film completely noir in its story but nothing noir about the presentation a young man superbly played by a newly face lifted at age 40 is estranged from his police officer dad and finds a job in a store soon random people come up to him and call him using just a few moments the presence of a is established then a woman comes forward and claims to be engaged to said she is accompanied by her loving brother kumar who is so convinced that is actually he makes him take his shoe off and prove that he is not the 6 one the super cute daughter is completely with amidst all this confusion there is a jewel thief on the loose and he is stealing at will slowly we learn from encounter with a super hot night club singer helen that the thief is the many many good looking women are after the hero the police force including dad are completely is slowly falling for and her brother seems to bless the union the action moves to as that is where next heist is to occur the rest is for you to watch the the girls the men who hang on to every word thinking he is their boss the loving brother sister duo nothing seems quite right and it takes the story telling and direction by to conclude this tale in a highly entertaining manner the movie has numerous moments that you will wonder at until they deliciously into a grand finale at a dance in a palace in br br i was not a big fan but she is quite competent here although at her she is able to add to the confusion in the story in a subtle way but is best when she is or dancing is cute as a button and i loved her in this film i so badly wanted her to get the man was well if he were not walking like a man with a shoulder one shoulder always lower than the other i would wonder who they had found to imitate him yet his style charm and charisma were in the song only could look cool carrying a fishing rod to which a large plastic fish was attached kumar was simply awesome did not miss a beat the entire movie and turned this into one for the history books br br magic with numbers like helen in a blood red imitation dancing on a bar top and my personal favorite seductive number br br if you are a great story with more twists than a wanting to be kept guessing yet amused and entertained then go buy or rent jewel thief better to buy it then you can go back and see it again with your buddies this one is a keeper

the concept show 4 families of diverse in the district of l a preparing for the family get together at i loved soul food and how to make an american i think there's a law that has to be in all these movies which similarly offered a of family traditions and was prepared for a treat instead i felt tricked they out about 40 characters and all but two are one note cliches with no whatsoever the writers and director should spend a few more years learning about life and learn how loving people of different generations actually do relate instead you have a bunch of a holes getting together on turkey day to act like extra obnoxious a holes now to an extent this is what is all about but not this and why bother having then giving her absolutely nothing to do this was a chore to get through and is a standout but i give it a 4 10

if it wasn't meant to be a comedy the filmmakers sure if they intended for it to be a comedy they hit the mark our critic says is a wonderful film filled with family values and community spirit it for all audiences and says that he really liked jamie lee performance it deserves a theatrical re release

as an asian horror a tale of two sisters is actually a complex character driven psychological drama that the viewer into the problems of a seemingly normal family i was really surprised at the depth of this movie director decision to focus more on telling a story rather than providing cheap scares has proved a correct one creating one of the most ingenious new horror movies br br a tale of two sisters the story as it's name suggest of two sisters and the younger who after spending time in a mental institution return home to their father and apparently abusive stepmother from then on we witness how the sisters deal with their gradually rising and behavior to say what would happen next would be to be spoil the entire experience so i'll just leave it at that br br the plot is very tightly written with the characters nicely fleshed out focus on a small cast offers a much more detailed view on them and their relations to one another furthermore each of the four main cast has a vastly different role and type of character from the protective the weaker the father to the frantic and later deadly behavior there is great sense of mystery with a lot of the plot not revealed up into the end and even after that the movie still leaves a great room for interpretation even after watching it once the viewer will be compelled to see it at least once more so that he can gain a better understanding to it br br the actors superbly fit their roles it is especially hard to create strong emotional scenes in psychological movies but it is a great joy when one succeeds in creating them and this is a prime example of such a feat direction is slow paced and gripping building up tension for the film's scenes while few in number those moments are strong and quite frankly terrifying the cinematography and score are top notch further helping to establish an atmosphere fitting that of a psychological film br br a tale of two sisters is a how the horror genre is in fact so much more than a simple thrill ride with it's strong focus on character and mystery this is one complex movie that could easily seduce you in watching it again and again just so that you can understand it better

terrible absolutely terrible long confusing and after about three hours of this painful mess the ending truly is the final nail in the coffin not even the magnificent sexy beautiful can save this poor adaptation of agatha work the plot drags and drags and time goes by slowly and suddenly you realize that you don't even have any idea of what's going on anymore by the end even with the usual explanation by the villain there's still a lot that's left unexplained and it's over a complete waste of time and without a doubt one of the worst to bear the name of agatha christie

i was watching tv one day with a friend and we caught the last twenty minutes of going believe me when i say it was enough to get a good judgment of the film the first scene that i saw was the monkey the kid the fat guy and the black guy who looked like dave flying around in a crop thousands of feet in the air while everyone else was about the journey the monkey seemed to be on some kind of drug where he kept shouting something that the english word faster they then landed on a twenty yard long in africa after a heart felt goodbye where the monkey cried the villains of the film appeared they were complete ass in their vintage when the evil monkey took an air jordan leap form the onto the boat that was away a clean 40 away and made them sink their beautiful car into the pacific ocean after seeing this film i have a new purpose in life to find the midget who played the monkey and stab him in the eye with a pen

br br i used to like some of the hollywood action blockbusters of the 80s they had icons such as arnie and sly but i think the action movie in the has to new depths the worst of these i believe was br br the plot is shamelessly contrived and pulls off the worst cliches as it seeks to viewers the melodrama is so and awful that you actually cannot wait for bruce willis to disappear from the screen tyler who had acted admirably in several fine independent features directed by such masters as and robert altman decided to jump onto the commercial this movie the new hollywood aesthetic of grand special effects and precious little good dialogue or authentic melodrama that is the norm these days and i begin to wonder if there is a role in hollywood for screenwriters it seems as though they just employ and to write the scripts the rest they leave to technology there is not a single piece of grand heartfelt human emotion in it just feels empty and bland i can think of only one good aspect of this movie and that involves dad who doesn't even make an appearance in the film steven band provide a theme song for the movie a that really and at least at the a little when the end credits come up br br i for western civilization if people like this predictable movie it stands for and a decline in the human intellect i would even prefer to watch the friday the 13th

this is an excellent from the war years br br john mills leads a fine cast of regular british b movie in a solo submarine attack upon a enemy br br filmed in black and white it's well paced and also well placed considering that a war was going on at the time if anything it shows how seriously the authorities took positive propaganda br br the mission side of the movie takes place in genuine things are and claustrophobic the actors look suitably and without being too offensive to the heroic other have already drawn attention to the authentic little details like keeping the and forgetting to read as well as the engine room activities br br this probably is the first movie in which and a dead german is blown from the tube to fool an enemy and it's the only time i have seen part of the exposed in a of sinking a high risk if ever there was one br br i'm a little as to whether or not a submarine could punch its way through a wire rope net speed was barely twice that of human walking speed and the net would have had a great deal of also the engineer was at the same work station and operating the same both on the surface and this too seems implausible as either or electric were used and they were in different sections of the ship or so i'm told br br there was a wee bit too much shore side drama for my tastes but then this was a propaganda effort and clearly contained a subtle message for civilians to mind their behaviour as it could affect service and the war effort br br these aside it's a pretty entertaining little adventure nowadays movies of such vintage tend to be screened in the afternoon whilst far more modern and inferior movies enjoy prime time but then it's no longer politically correct to mention the war in the presence of our european friends too many of them have guilty or our own left wing non of whom have ever fought for the they now take for granted br br as a submarine movie it is better than 'the enemy i think though less not so authentic as by any means but not so gross either

this movie is excellent the passion between billy is memorable and the acting was great this is why you don't leave a 16 year old and a young man like that alone together it shows why a single mother shouldn't date a younger man with a teen aged daughter in the house cause he looked young enough to be son br br i give it ten out of ten the acting was wonderful and the movements between the actors was correct br br the age difference between jenny and rob was good too because they were similar in age br br overall its a fun movie but i think nobody under 13 should watch this movie because of the sexual scenes

i caught this on late late mexican cable and i have to rant about it the title was translated as secrets well there's a secret that has an important part in the movie but come on we are not stupid we know there's a novel behind this br br anyways the movie is pretty interesting and it's carried by it's solid performances the always beautiful and stunning and christopher deliver great performances and have such great chemistry between them cameron is also good although she has minimal on screen time is perfect and his last appearance in the movie is touching sad great performances br br character and her sister's ex boyfriend travel to europe in order for her to deal with his demons and understand why her sister died through flashbacks we learn the sad truth and we can't help but feel sorry for the whole family the ending is truly moving br br so there's nudity but it's minimal in fact the sex scenes are artsy and do not intend to be steamy or sexy br br to be honest i kept watching it for on screen charming and beauty and i ended up liking the story and the dramatic br br give this movie a try if you like solid dramatic features great movie the last last scene was very sad the two little sisters through flashbacks

this film is sometimes called 'the story of o which tries to pass itself off as a sequel of sorts to the french erotic s m thriller 'the story of although i've never seen the original version i did however get to see this sorry mixed bag of sexual social politics i guess the angle comes from the occasional s m overtones which were never as explicit and unpleasant to watch as the ones in kinski is the only recognizable face in this french japanese production but speaks his lines in english at least in the version i saw the unnecessary use of only manages to make this some what boring example in pseudo porn even more pretentious what are they trying to prove with depicting a piano floating in water it's obvious that after the whole porno trend in cinema out sorry bad pun about 1975 producers had to the bottom of the barrel trying to please the of adult cinema not to mention foreign art cinema so film goers had to with dreck like 'the last and others like it

the movie is based on a jules book i actually have read once about ten years ago i remember i liked the book a lot and this movie does a good job in telling the story the most important thing in this movie isn't the story however but the highly original visual look it has br br the visuals are absolutely beautiful and they are apparently achieved by a clever combination of animated drawings combined with live actors stop motion animation and sets that are painted so that they look much like from an animated movie combined by jules own unique versions of and and good directing results in a very well done and convincing visual style that manages to effectively hold one's attention until the end of the movie br br there are some problems as well one of the underwater scenes at the end takes maybe needlessly lot of time for example as the story in the first part of the movie is rushed through quite quickly none of this matters much though since the movie is always highly enjoyable a gem that deserves to be more well known for today's audiences as well a recommended movie for the whole family

two is a good movie by itself but compared to the original it cant stack up robert stack is a horrible replacement for ted knight and jackie mason while funny just cant compete with rodney is funny being the only character from the original most of the other characters in the movie lack the punch of the original henry for example except for the funny lawyer peter blunt being played by randy quaid every line he says reminds me of the originals humor especially the scene at his office i don't go in for law suits or motions i find out where you live and come to your house and beat down your door with a f ing baseball bat make a with the maybe that golden then eat it and then i'm upstairs junior and i'm grabbing you by your brooks brothers and your brand new up your tight a do we have an understanding his small role however is dan who is obviously no replacement for bill murray his voice is beyond irritating and everything he does even funny its just stupid overall ii is a good movie but in comparison to the awesome original it just cant cut it

despite later claims this early melodrama has very little in common with citizen kane it's a biopic of a ruthless but human fictional told in flashback but around time the scriptwriter preston shows none of his later gift for dialog and none of the cinematic of kane are evident still it's very watchable with a young spencer tracy his old man makeup makes him look just like well an old spencer tracy showing depth and authority and moore a little past her prime and not physically well matched playing a woman behind the man there's also helen as one of the most in movie history sending the final third into soap opera the surviving print is and has missing audio snippets and there are some plot holes left open how would she know whose son it was if she's sleeping with both of them and the music is awfully hokey for all that i was quite fascinated

one of the greatest movies to come out of the 80's dirty dancing was a low budget film with high budget returns with a soundtrack that makes you want to get up and dance to a love story that all of us wish we could live at least if you're female this is a movie that you will want to watch over and over again br br the music which is what drives the movie is upbeat and flows well with the emotions which are drawn from the viewer from classic hits like love man by and big girls don't cry by frankie to pure hits like eric hungry eyes and frank dirty dancing is a mix of fun and sensual showing the transformation of a young girl from shy teenager into a all against the beautiful backdrop of a summer romance that we all hope and wish turned into more br br the dancing in dirty dancing is not to be forgotten shines in her role as penny a dancer who could challenge even the most fluid and patrick does more than a fantastic job and shows off more and more of his skills not just as an actor but dancer and singer as well and jennifer grey shines as baby while her transformation in dancing portrays her transformation in status as well br br all in all dirty dancing is one of the best movies of all time and well worth watching at least once it's that the first beats of the be my baby in the opening title won't your attention and draw you in to a magical world of sensual dance and musical

usually when bbc releases a tv series one is used to a certain satisfaction guarantee usually the tv series is splendid even if the story is boring you can trust the acting will make the it worth while when i came across here at the local library i was looking forward to an enjoyable evening cause i read the story br br i'm glad i read the story first otherwise i would not think highly of it further was i to learn that the production date of this tv series was from 1971 since i thought until that moment that bbc had lost it it is really bad and should be used in acting schools as a horror movie br br the only positive thought i have about this series that the people in this film are not likely to appear or be involved in any bbc or other product this century other than the young sisters who apparently were taking their fist steps in acting and doing remarkably well under the direction otherwise given

cameron diaz james frank that's an all star power cast but the box proves once again that it is not a guarantee for a solid movie the premise sounds promising a couple gets a visit from a mysterious person who offers them a million dollar the downside is that someone will die a person they probably will not know so what do you do this gives us an interesting story for about 30 minutes after that the story completely vague an uninspired plot lines about an alien conspiracy involving the nothing really is explained here br br the box is a disappointment could have been so much better but since it is based on an ultra short story that explains the continuity errors

i gave this movie a chance only because it had very good reviews after seeing the trailer i thought what an unfunny movie full of clichés but i decided to give it a shot because trailers often don't portray the movie very well what a waste of time the movie is worst than the trailer and after spending 2 hours watching it i couldn't recall one single line that made me laugh the funniest parts of the movie were the parodies but that also is pretty i couldn't relate to any of the characters nor hope that they will be together because i found them utterly stupid the plot is extremely predictable and comedy for people who are either still in high school or feel that way mentally

i first heard of this film when talked about it on his werewolves and cd he said it was a lost classic that is completely ridiculous being a lover of terrible cinema i knew i was in for a treat br br this film is hands down one of the i've ever seen certainly one of the films basically a demon took human form years ago for a woman the woman died or something the demon cried blood the blood fell on the bed the bed is now possessed and it now eats along with fruit flowers and chicken it also has a taste for people the people can range between horny teens gangsters servants or professional orgy there's also a sick guy who the bed ate but put his soul behind a picture in the room br br most movies let you figure out the plot through exciting action death bed takes another path it basically tells you through narration exactly what's happening while slow dull murder scenes take place also i must say everyone who's eaten by the bed are surprisingly quiet i would think if a bed is eating you through the ways of a grade science fair experiment it would a little i guess nerve endings weren't invented until 1981 or so br br the story is wacky the direction is slow and pretty awful the sets are sparse the acting it fairly painful and the brother is one of the unintentionally actors i've ever seen probably would make a great party film if alcohol and smart are involved certainly one you shouldn't miss

i can hardly call this a great film but it is entertaining in my case i at the time this film was released was the same age as some of the junior in the film for me watching this film brings back the memories of my camp years while some of the pranks that takes place in this movie like carrying the camp director out in his bed and leaving him on the side of a road strung up in the trees or out on a lake are a bit over the top some of the other pranks are not when i went to camp the and pulled similar stunts such as running underwear up the flag pole battles and boys the girls cabin as i grew older i realized these night to the girls cabin that i in were carefully by the so that we wouldn't find the girls in embarrassing situations but at the time i thought it was real and it was fun that's what is br br captures not only the beauty of camp surroundings but the beauty of being young and give a great example of pre teens teens and young adults living their summer with no concerns other than guys up with girls and girls up with guys and booth having as much fun as they can before they head back to junior high high school and college the opening title song that goes are you ready for the summer no more no more books no more teachers dirty looks describes exactly how summer is viewed by school kids br br i personally enjoyed the two and what boy nerd or jock didn't spend all camp trying to up to some pretty girl what guy didn't want to be accepted by the other and while these two characters are somewhat over the top i bet everybody who watches the film can't help but to like these two guys these two characters are a mix of charlie brown from and jack larry dallas from company i would bet that most viewers even cheer for in the egg carrying competition and for as he attempts to beat the stomach in the hot dog eating contest br br lastly this movie had normal looking kids and no super models for or that wore trendy clothing it is fun to just kick back and watch this film and remember when life was as fun as this movie

this film is terrible and don't blame jesus franco because its not his fault br br this film was shot silent over many years by welles as he got the money to bring a crew and the actors together to do some shooting how much film welles actually shot is not clear although not all of the film or all of the sequences are here since several key sequences such as in a movie theater are in the hands of or who wouldn't give them up the film here is just under two hours and i would be hard pressed to imagine it ever really working at any length i'm of the opinion based on several comments that welles made before his death that he never really intended to release the film but was putting it together as a personal toy br br what exists here is for the most part is beautifully shot but dramatically dead very little happens for the first hour other than and wandering around the country side dull would be a kind description of the material in the second hour ends up in modern spain and in a series of not very good sequences deals with everyday life this isn't to say that there isn't a few nice moments the and the chicken sequences are quite good but mostly this is a vast waste of film and time br br completed by jesus franco who was welles' assistant director on the vastly superior at midnight we have a bunch of film that have been put together as best as possible many people have franco as having been the reason the film stinks but frankly one can not make a good movie from crap material one critic has gone on record as having seen a different cut of the film in the 1970's which meant that franco made this version up on his own and ruined it while that maybe true i've run across stories of welles cutting and re cutting the film many many times over the years since he could never get it right br br this film is terrible no matter how you slice it br br ultimately i'm left wondering just how good a film maker welles was aside from citizen kane almost all of his films have been plagued by lack of budget or with so we are left with the excuse that many of his films would have been better if only how do we know how can we know perhaps welles was a man of less talent than we thought and many of his borderline films just aren't that good and never would have been while this is no place to argue the place of welles in film history the surviving material of don assuming it what welles intended i think it does is a good case for how we view the man and his work br br 4 out of 10 for the good sequences though 2 out of 10 is probably closer to reality

after huge budget disaster films set in america like the day after tomorrow and deep impact it was refreshing to see something on a smaller scale like br br using mainly unknown actors and actresses and actually focusing on england it was a welcome change of pace to seeing the empire state building being br br however this is not a strong film on any basis whilst being fairly shocking seeing all your favourite london being by a very fake cgi storm doesn't really deliver on anything else br br the performances are bland being saved from the pit of hell by david and his calm performance as the deputy he is perhaps a little too calm for what is going on in the film all that fake water around london must have made him pretty annoyed br br it is understandable that the effects weren't going to be as good as and but the cgi was at best average br br bland disappointing and sometimes even tiresome watch it if you must but watch something else straight afterwards

when the chair beware of its soft colorful br br the movie starts out quite well josh mark and emily kathryn are a boyfriend girlfriend couple having a bit of a tough time with their relationship an argument occurs one night and in order to make up josh asks emily to come along on a to his father's house where josh plans to deliver a for his birthday emily accepts and along the way they pick up brother an looking fellow more in touch with other lives than his own br br the quickly into more between josh and emily as well as a bitter feeling for the chair it is initially very and falling apart until josh convinces the original owner to it quickly that the cause of all of emily and problems is the and sets it to the torch one night br br and that's the last we hear of the chair even though there are many minutes left in the film br br the big issue is that the title of the film is the chair when it isn't the chair at all that takes center stage it is josh and doomed relationship and how the their feelings for one another once the chair is destroyed there's never another mention of it even though they arrive at parents place on his father's birthday without a gift josh never mentions the chair nor does his father there's no connection between it and the lives of these people so why call the movie the chair and why isn't there a tie in with it at the end bad script br br the other annoying thing is that mark brother jay is not only the director but also the cameraman and not a very good nearly every scene has a rapid zoom in on the characters that goes grainy and out of focus before the catches up and rights itself initially this took on a quaint and artistic feel but rapidly became unbearable br br the acting in the film is accessible and entertaining all of the actors actresses did fine jobs but the poor production quality stilted ending and lack of to the title caused this flick too many problems

this movie gives daniel wu his chance to do a great action movie but i really find character really great but determined to plus the main terrorist it gets me wondering his revolution makes me wonder if he is doing this for good or bad br br a movie that tells us about todd an terrorist being tricked as an undercover until he learns who he really is the consequences that he makes from his terrorist family gives him a the choice of redemption br br purple storm was one of the best ones that i have seen this year the movie really stands out when it is filled with tremendous action scenes set up by stephen which won the best action sequences in the hong kong awards 9 10

as the flies this steaming of a film i found myself longing to join them br br from the opening sentences you quickly gather that the actors are talentless the script editor was probably dead and the director should be to be honest i didn't manage to finish this film because about twenty dismal minutes in the sight of the main actress across the floor like a that has been shot in the ass was too much for me to stomach br br i have never and i mean never seen a film as as this one and i watch tons of crap films br br turd

of the four main players in here john candy jean kelly amy and the only one i've never heard about at that time was the one that annoyed the heck out of me and ruined the film well she must have done a decent job of acting to make me want to throw her and the vhs into the garbage i am referring to kelly in the role of teenage brat russell ironically six years later she played a stunning and extremely likable role in the person of morgan in mr br br candy as usual is fun to watch as buck russell or the title character uncle buck few actors were better at playing a lovable hapless than candy i enjoyed his character in here but i cannot watch that spoiled teen girl more than once also in the first few minutes of the film the little boy miles says the word g damn how bad is that having a six year old kid saying the name in vain on film these hollywood people are such no wonder many of their child actors turn out to be mentally screwed up being a case in point

i really wanted to like this film especially after all the buzz i'd heard revolving around it but sadly it just didn't work for me paranoid park suffers from the same lost in translation did if you use very little dialogue be heavy on the slow motion close ups and concentrate on pieces of fabric in the setting then your story will magically come across as deep and thoughtful br br much of the plot line if you can find a plot of this film is contrived i wasn't impressed with the it all being the way the protagonist deals with the accident so what are we supposed to believe he grew up happily ever after and wrote a book about his experiences thus was for that horrific incident br br what is i suspect supposed to be a film that evokes empathy for a young man who is and faced with an impossible moral instead creates a portrait of a future personality he has no connection to anyone around him and by the end of the film has no real sense of what is right or wrong he has no direction at home and feels nothing for his friends what we have is a portrait of a non person a spirit that merely through life as he weaves his way along on his i don't feel for him at all and honestly i wish he'd been caught the entire film not necessarily on his feelings of guilt but on how he is going to avoid punishment and or for a bad decision he not only gets away with it he finds a way to subtly it quite a frightening negative message the suggestion being that so many of our youth are so from right and that they simply make up the rules as they go along serving themselves for good or ill i find it an insulting on today's youth and the pretentious arrogance of the film maker thick with every plodding step and shifting eye br br he did murder the guard but if you blink your eyes you miss it whether it was an act of mercy or not is hard to say it could be he was so he out with his when he runs to the security car one of the of his is with blood

based on the true story about christopher and lee penn and their involvement in selling american secret government documents to the during the 1970s works for the government and his job is to guard these particular documents which ultimately him about his country's affairs and practices he then his drug dealer friend lee who has become a wanted man to be the for these sensitive documents lee the russian in mexico and makes contact with alex and they both begin to play the espionage game br br lee's interest is purely about money whilst is acting out of anger towards the system he is involved in alex believes lee to be the inside man in the american government things start to become array when lee's drug addiction and reckless behaviour in handling the position both alex and lee becomes more paranoid and the initial espionage game becomes more deadly and for everyone involved br br this is a true spy thriller without the cheesy action the character motives and analysis of real life subjects is sympathetic but very well written and the film cleverly the real life events with underlying political themes about human behaviour where a bigger nation uses their political power to control the smaller nations well directed and intense in parts especially where the protagonists become immensely in over their heads in the spy game timothy and sean penn give amazingly riveting performances in a film that questions authority and yet there is no simple answer to the political message or the complexity of that system the plight of the protagonists becomes the underlying message within 'the and the and makes it a clever political thriller with a poignant element about society human relationships and the american system great film br br 1 2 out of

anyone remember the first etc back when it was about making crazy cool stuff rather than watching act like a spoiled 5 year old super rock star wannabe br br the show used to be awesome however fame and wealth has led him to believe that we now enjoy him acting childish and idiotic more than actual cool stuff that used to be in ex br br the acts are so repetitive there's like nothing new except annoying stupidity and comments the only things we see is so busy showing us how much he doesn't care how much money he got or whatsoever br br i really got nothing much left to say except give us back cause suck br br i enjoy watching steve o etc a thousand times more

is a filmmaker i'm slowly getting into following the efforts of deep red and he's not a filmmaker to always care directly about silly things like plot that might be his one minor but for me apparent he won't let a little thing like common sense screw up his plan for his elaborate killing sequences as his killer s can go through any kind of elaborate set up of being invisible until revealing past the point of the tracking shots of said killer but it's thrilling to see a filmmaker take chances like this anyway of a pure italian aesthetic making its way into the soul of a in fact as a note of interest if one has recently seen the scorsese short film where he took three pages of an un filmed hitchcock film which also took place in an opera had it beat by almost twenty years probably with no knowledge of the text it's also 80s cd players and heavy metal and the hair oh my and with an absurdity that makes it all the more to swallow br br the story is simple an opera of is being produced with high stylized and trained there's even a talented up and coming star replaced at the last minute betty played by but a murder occurs during the premiere interrupted not by that but by a falling light and now the killer is after betty she can't go to the police how can she let out that the opera is really cursed but will that matter in the face of a killer who won't let up one has probably seen premises like this played out in other films girl being chased by a killer but it's how like de palma and his sequences and adds a distinctive flavor of his own to add touches of bizarre humor the of the to attack the killer and the subsequent version of pointing out in the a kind of over ala the bullet through the through the door probably inspired a similar shot in kill bill 1 and even inspiration with the taped to eyes more than once br br puts his actress through the and she's all game for it even when things seem to just go into the territory i was throwing up my hands almost saying i give up when she is led down the secret passage by the little girl as if suddenly we're in aliens now and through such dark genre material keeps the violence thick and fresh the suspense about as much as that with opera music coming right out of a of a system and a cinematographer who may have had a few drinks and rightfully so during some scenes the way they're shot and to a heart beat it should be considered trash but it's past any limitations of the genre by the attitude of the director this in spite of a silly ending than anything that what came before it thanks little lizard and an attempt to break the curse which unfortunately didn't seem to happen in real life on the set of opera 8 5 10

well the film starts good but after half an hour it becomes boring and stupid when all the plot is about that was the name of the girl right br br the end of the movie it's really corny and the characters really dumb br br i don't know who is more stupid if the girl because she came back with her old boyfriend or the boy for the way he was used for her br br anyway my conclusion is this definitely not the best eighties comedy just another movie like many others with nothing special they could do it better but they ruined it if only the plot had take another way but they keep that stuff and they definitely ruined so final conclusion i don't like

i starred as eugene morris in my high school adaptation of the play and this film definitely doesn't live up to the script or the imagination of neil simon i know this play backwards and and i can honestly tell you that the acting was off the production was cheesy the changes in the script were poorly done if you want to really enjoy this play you should see the actual play not a hollywood movie adaptation the eugene character lacked soul and was overly sarcastic in all he said the other characters were off key as well a general disappointment messy to the play executed

i've never been compelled to write a review about anything but seeing such bad reviews about such an innovative show made me say something first people just have to get over the fact that the voices are different once you watch an episode it never really comes to mind ever again the humor is original and while yes some jokes do carry over from the movie they are delivered fresh some of it is even reminiscent of shrek self humor a lot of these jokes seem aimed at teens or original fans of the movie as much as and younger patrick and are both hilarious as they their roles as and and their annie award nominations were well br br this show takes some time to love to really get in the groove of things so to speak if you ignore the horrible theme song which really shouldn't warrant that much in the way of how you judge a show since it's only 30 seconds of the overall product this show is laugh out loud hilarity and doesn't lose any of the new groove spirit

the basic story idea of enchanted april is excellent two very unhappy wives meet and decide to pool their to rent an italian villa for a month to further costs they get two other strangers to come along what makes it interesting are the relationships both before and during this vacation in particular showing how this beautiful setting actually changes their on life unfortunately this good idea is totally spoiled by two key performances in the ensemble cast that are so bad that they ruin the film ann plays the most important role in the film in a manner that makes her seem ridiculous her eyed expression and stares really make you wonder if this isn't a zombie movie or she's just meant to be an idiot and to make it worse owen plays a character so obnoxious and that i was very close to turning off the film he was that awful and unbelievable i noticed that at least one reviewer gave this movie a 10 which is very very difficult to understand sure the film has great ambiance and a good plot but these two silly performances cannot be overlooked as they the rest of the picture sorry but this film was for a re make

pretty lousy made for tv sequel to the roman polanski classic rosemary's son adrian has grown up and is by creepy stephen after here played by patty duke a of witches again led by roman son for world it's not really scary and light years less macabre than its predecessor instead writer anthony wilson and director sam for a satan thriller full of a lot of plenty of and ruth gordon trying to act and nasty at the same time the sole from the original george john cassavetes as guy and a very hammy ray plays roman for the late sidney newcomer is the film's only real saving grace he's very off and looks really sinister without even doing anything the music by charles is suitably creepy but so over used it's ends up being rather than effective who edited the earlier polanski masterpiece shows no flair or subtlety whatsoever

i first saw the opening of otto and on tv probably some time in the early 80s and my younger self found it a bit slow despite the timeless music i turned it off br br last night an extremely rare together print screened at the l a and it was a bit of a revelation the performances are strong and memorable dorothy brings a great deal of vulnerability strength and subtle at least by today's standards to her part sidney is said to be uncomfortable with the movie but his performance is terrific as is pearl even better are sammy davis as the amoral cat like life and peters as the bully crown br br still i'm no fan of earlier and far easier to see carmen jones and is far superior to that less controversial film though that may have to do with the fact that the source material is also far superior br br as seen last night this is a but far from perfect work not all of the moments quite come alive and there is some in the way the film mixes the overtly stylized row set beautifully done by oliver smith with actual locations also even to my rather ear some brief portions of the score seem br br moreover while this doesn't detract from the achievement of the filmmakers decision to film almost entirely in wide shots with no close ups and occasional medium shots no doubt rendered it unwatchable on tv and and may doom it even on widescreen dvds if it gets the it deserves on smaller screens we won't be able to make out the many details that are crucial to the way preminger staged the film br br also the mix heard last night was odd many of the particularly on the opening seemed soft and were overwhelmed by the music perhaps this can be fixed in a br br there is the issue of the film's racial politics personally i see nothing wrong with it at least in a contemporary context at the time when so few films depicted strong african american characters this may have seemed an unfortunate choice for a big budget hollywood film and while there may not be much here these are recognizable human beings that are not racial stereotypes these are operatic characters who make poor choices because that's what tragic characters do that alone made it a giant forward at the time br br in a modern context where strong and heroic african american characters are less rare though still not common enough these characters seem nothing more nor less than human they truly could be poor and people of any ethnic background br br politics aside the original work is undoubtedly one of the truly great achievements of american music and theater davis peters and yes pearl were all amazing performers who we'll never see the likes of again this less than perfect but still solid film clearly deserves to be seen and

alfred hitchcock's is not one of his best regarded films made between two vastly more popular and praised pictures suspicion and shadow of a doubt it's generally regarded as a lesser effort i agree that the later film is groundbreaking drawing hitchcock wholly into the american mainstream for the first time but is in its way at least as lively as suspicion its chief flaw being its less than charismatic star players bob and lane br br in we find hitchcock feeling his way around america literally as its lead character travels from california to new york in search of an for whose crime he was accused is very youthful here and quite engaging his but not perfectly suits the character he is portraying and seems appropriate as the director though middle aged was in the process of himself and an older more established star might have thrown things off heroine which not a typical type for the director was very much a common type in american films at the time and she and provide an and a youth the director needed both in his life and work at this time i cannot imagine older more solid types cooper and stanwyck for instance doing any better as they would have between them carried well too much br br as is the norm in hitchcock's films nothing is as it appears where from his better known films is that the audience is let in on the game early though is an accused we know that he is innocent the villains become apparent fairly soon and the movie more on its plot than its what pleasures there are are incidental and here the master does not disappoint there is an interesting with some circus freaks who help capture in another scene reminiscent of james bride of frankenstein spends some time in the of a blind man who as it turns out is uncle was the director perhaps studying key american films of the previous decade whatever the case these and other offbeat and aspects of the movie give it a and variety which when one adds the factor of quite youthful leads makes the picture seem like the work of a younger man still learning his craft br br the film's later scenes in new york are more suspenseful and typical of the director as the picture gradually becomes more as it moves along in the end i find it a satisfying work and as neither nor lane has a dark side as an actor neither does the movie have one it is deliberately lightweight and i suspect semi experimental an attempt by hitchcock to see if he could pull off in an american setting the sort of story he had done so well in england he succeeded admirably the next logical step shadow of a doubt a film in which the main character travels east to west and with a wholly different set of values and plans br br

the only reason this movie is not given a 1 awful vote is that the acting of both and robert ryan is superb who is lovely as usual becomes increasingly as she tries various means to rid herself of a madman robert ryan is terrifying as the menacing stranger whose character guided only by his disturbed mind changes from one minute to the next seemingly simple and suddenly he becomes clever and threatening ms character was in more danger from that house she lived in and her own stupidity than by anyone who came along she could not manage to get out of her of her own house windows didn't open both front and back doors locked and from the inside with a key you could not have designed a worse fire trap if you tried she did not take the of having even one extra key nor could she figure out how to help from nearby neighbors or get out of her own basement while she was locked in and out of sight of her i don't know what war her husband was killed in but if it was world war ii the in her house the styles of the clothes especially the children and the company car are clearly i recommend watching this movie just to see what you can find

disappointing is the best word i could think for this film especially considering the glowing reviews it receives from some other users br br one thing that really the film is that it is partial in both senses of the word not only does it present a very description of the games as it does on the us team but it also contains several inaccuracies most of which serve to the difficulties the us team faced br br what is even more disturbing is that all the and mistakes appear to us to the of other with a few celebrated exceptions for example the viewer is led to believe that the us won the majority of in the games when in fact they won only one out of four gold and one out of 6 total similarly many are portrayed as caricatures of their respective thus we have an arrogant brit and a wine french this attitude does very little service to the olympic ideals that the film is supposed to celebrate br br in conclusion i believe that this film would appeal to that part of the us audience that is looking for a quick boost of national self those looking for a detailed and historically correct description of the games are advised to look elsewhere

flash gordon was a first rate serial i know there were a few goofs however i didn't watch it for the flaws buster is flash gordon he was not a trained actor but he gave a very good convincing performance jean rogers is pretty and at 20 old did in my opinion a pretty good job charles as emperor is superb he was in a lot of other movies quite versatile he could sing and dance his portrayal of the in all 3 flash gordon serials was top notch the rest of the cast also did a very good job well boys and girls get some popcorn settle back and enjoy john r tracy

first let me mention the fact that in spite of its title in there is only one kitchen story as to whether died or not at the end i'm not so sure since in one of the very last scenes his is seen lying on the table next to the two on the dvd cover there is a reference to it claims that the film is funny reminiscent of the great jacques relied mainly on and silent deadpan attitudes to achieve his comical effects and to offer his views of his french society of course does take place during the and it does offer some rather faint satirical references to the of and there are some long moments were no words are – but they are not really funny are all these small details enough to make a movie this being said i have to admit that does deal with the sometimes false of scientific research versus the of human emotions generally speaking the movie was slow with nothing much happening with barely any the involving parts were the set up during the first 15 minutes or so and during the last half hour or so indeed the last segment was finally interesting and moving it might seem that it was a short subject of less than an hour stretched to some 90 minutes now about the set up a observation on the behavior of single males in their kitchen at first it seemed very promising – with the out of the and goings of in their kitchen as a means to determine what new would be most useful to come up with but very quickly this premise turned out to be just a prologue an to introduce the real subject which was only fully developed towards the end and which was about loneliness and the bond of friendship pity i honestly wanted to like that movie yes it seemed so promising when i heard about some of its unusual little which were indeed there and which i enjoyed – such as the burning of a nose hair instead of using to cut it off the of having a huge of black pepper away in a the role the becoming the observed a mouth sounds from a radio program and there is also a sick horse becoming the of half hidden human despair the relative importance of right or left side car driving in sweden and a reflection of the importance for each of these very close countries to its am i the sole person who did not fully enjoy that film does this necessarily mean that i'm wrong perhaps almost generally praised were in fact for me perhaps could my individual views on this movie ironically reflect the very essence of the film itself which would be the vital necessity to have the right to to and not to follow and opinions each one of us has the right to have different personal views and not to be a slave of the demands of bread winning demands often we do have other that would allow each one of us to be useful to our society while inner principles in short being true to – the way that in that film ends up by giving up his job while to stay in his new friend house and help his out with the tasks of his farm and so la as the french say

step by step is my opinion is a pure abc hit i can't recall every episode but i still enjoyed it it's hard to say which episode was my favorite however i think it was always funny when a occurred at school i always laugh at that as a matter of fact i think just about every single one of j t brandon call and mitchell lines were funny it would have been nice if penny had stayed on the show throughout its entire run everyone always gave a good performance the production design was spectacular the costumes were well designed and the writing was always very strong in conclusion i hope it never stops airing in

a group of evil need to knock down a building to build a huge complex but they can't remove the the and with their hired thugs clash until the film ends with one of the funniest fights ever the guy with the ginger hair who goes every time he throws a punch and the other guy who poses with a knife in his mouth instead of fighting only to be beaten off camera make this essential viewing if you like to laugh at films rather than with them

despite its ultra low budget is the most successful portuguese film of 2004 and i must say a well deserved success what i love about the most is the intricate detail that went to keep you interested as to what is going on and just what will happen next it's very detailed and superbly advanced for a seemingly simple love story gone bad thriller what's even more enjoyable and ironic about this is the fact that the characters are in the same situation not one of them knows the entire story and are left to their own making a cut above the rest this is definitely not a film you want to walk out on for a bathroom break as you will undoubtedly miss something important i feel one of the film's major attributes would have to be the environment that it it's creepy but hilarious at the same time i read somewhere someone this film by saying it's was like watching hitchcock and i couldn't agree more i love movies like that where you have to pay attention to everything in order to fully understand what is going on 9 10
