i watch them all it's not better than the amazing ones _strictly ballroom_ _shall we dance _ japanese version but it's completely respectable and pleasingly different in parts i am an english teacher and i find some of the ignorance about language in some of these reviews rather upsetting for example the name should scream don't watch 'how she move ' since when can movie titles ignore grammar there is nothing inherently incorrect about caribbean english grammar it's just not canadian standard english grammar comments about the dialogue seem off to me i put on the subtitles because i'm a canadian standard english speaker so i just automatically assumed that i would have trouble understanding all of it it wasn't all that difficult and it gave a distinctly different flavour as the other step movies i have seen were so american i loved that this movie was set in toronto and in fact wish it was even more clearly set there i loved that the heroine was so atypically cast i enjoyed the stepping routines i liked the driven mum character i felt that many of the issues in the movie were addressed more subtly than is characteristic of dance movies in summary if you tend to like dance movies then this is a decent one if you have superiority issues about the grammar of the english standard you grew up speaking your narrow mind may have difficulty enjoying this movie

dear god! i kept waiting for this movie to get started then i waited for it to redeem itself and when it did neither i just sat there dumbfounded that 1 it could possibly be this bad and 2 that i had just wasted a couple of hours on just sheer stupidity i had faith that drew couldn't possibly have made this bad of a movie and boy did i ever lose my faith! don't bother with this one! drew tried but the movie was poorly written poorly acted and just poorly conceived! i can't believe a script this bad ever got funded! it had a million chances to actually do something with the idea the word concept is too big for this movie to even qualify for! and it still didn't go anyplace! its just pitiful! where the other reviewer got the idea that it wasn't the worst baffles me! because believe me if it got any worse i'd have slit my wrists before finishing it!

first let me start off by saying this film sounded very interesting a serial killer copycatting the works of edgar allan poe who is one of my writers of all time sounds cool right yeah definitely not probably the worst film i've ever seen ever and that's not an exaggeration i've seen a lot of very very bad movies this one takes the cake and i was even prepared for a bad movie before going into it perhaps the writer should've studied some law enforcement procedure if you have the name of the killer his entire life's history a criminal record and his address where is the first place you should look hmm possibly his house what ! no! that's a preposterous idea anthony! how could you suggest something so obvious and level headed rather than going to a bowling alley *spoilers end* honestly sometimes i can forgive a movie if the writing is good but the acting is bad or vice versa but this just had everything wrong with it you could possibly find i think my biggest pet peeve was how the police fbi acted for example black fbi agent okay endangered female just sit here in this car in an empty parking lot while i go inside and look around the potential crime scene where a serial killer is supposed to be sound good to you moronic female fbi agent yeah sounds a okay to me go right ahead i'll be sure to not focus on my surroundings or at least check the perimeter black fbi agent excellent that's what i would do! honestly if you want to be in law enforcement rent this movie so you can learn how not to act or if you're a human and want to learn the same 0 5 10 a half point just for getting a film produced and in stores congrats ap3

billy crystal co wrote co produced and stars in this extremely safe and comfy comedy drama about fathers and sons adult irresponsibility and growing old billy plays a heart surgeon who has a heart attack ha ha which causes him to seek out his estranged father alan king a movie extra who fancies himself a big star the script is sub neil simon nonsense with one liners galore a flat inexpressive direction by henry winkler stuck in sitcom mode and family conflict at the ready crystal and king try their best but king is over eager and frequently over the top jobeth williams has another one of her thankless roles but manages to bring her innate down home class to the proverbial girlfriend character it's a comedy i guess but one that blinks back the tears shamefully ** from ****

i went to see this on the strength of albert finney alone he's one of my favorite actors and he rarely fails to deliver i'm not sure if the plot is interesting or just silly it's about a little boy who is about to be born but as his mother goes into labor he refuses to come out! this sends god and the whole human being factory into a crisis and albert finney is called out of purgatory to try and convince the boy to change his mind and decide to want to be born so finney takes the unborn boy for an adventure in the big apple in hopes of showing him all the reasons he should want to live despite the ridiculousness of the plot i could have accepted it if the director had not tried to turn this into your typical hollywood sentimental moralistic message film directorially the film was rendered unbearable by a horrible soundtrack of the stock sentimental music that hollywood directors seem incapable of resisting he further butchered the somewhat unconventional story by giving away its hand at every moment whatever twists and turns were in store in the plot were completely given away by the way the story unraveled it was as if the director assumed the audience is just a bunch of idiots who cannot see the obvious hints coming from a mile away even finney in his performance though satisfactory seemed a bit awkward and out of place and the little boy with curly locks though he was supposed to be cute was in fact rather dull bridget fonda seemed intent on trying to duplicate demi moore's performance in 'ghost' shedding tears at a moment's notice i understand that the film has been unsuccessful thus far at getting distribution in the u s which surprises me as i think it has the box office potential to be a modest hit appealing to both kids and sentimental adults as far as the quality goes it's not an awful film it's just not very good 4 out of 10

an astronaut gets lost in deep space and finds himself traveling through unknown territory on board of a living spaceship accompanied by a group of alien outlaws this incredible plotted and enjoyable tv installment comes along as a positive birth fantasy the individual characters in conflict at the beginning of the series have to learn to get along with each other and evolve into a powerful group at last most of the action takes place inside the womb of moia the living space ship who even gets pregnant and gives birth to another ship! while science fiction stories are usually interested in negative birth fantasies watch the 'alien' movies for example especially the fourth part 'resurrection' this comes as a surprise also enjoyable is the absence of military hierarchy on board of the ship and the positive attitude towards sex and the human and alien body one of the female characters who is actually a plant experiences 'photogasms' while being exposed to sunlight the crew even has to go to the toilet wouldn't that be impossible in 'star trek'

this is a film that can make you want to see it again i especially liked the way it ended i did not see the end coming but when laws was not blown away the first time one suspects he will be back again the story is gripping and could have been more psychological but i understand the story needed to capture the viewer and the action was necessary for that hard to believe michael jr could be so apparently unmoved as his younger brother and mother as blown away but i can appreciate the scene play couldn't really take our attention there because it had a greater story to tell some have complained about hanks as a gangster i believe that isn't justified if his character had been any harder he would not have cared if his son pulled a trigger or not eight stars for this one although it was released in 2002 i just saw it for the first time yesterday on dvd

i have been wanting to see this since my french teacher recommend it to me over forty years ago perhaps the long wait was worth it since the criterion collection dvd restoration is impressive in its outline this movie follows the time worn script a quartet of men diligently plot a difficult heist of a bank vault the heist takes place a small seemingly insignificant event leads to the ultimate demise of all even though the heist footage is transfixing it occurs rather early and is ultimately not at the core of the film this film separates itself from the typical heist movie by giving us insights into the personalities of the characters and their motivations its plays as much as a drama as it does a thriller relationships play a big role and a kidnapping is tacked on giving us two movies for the price of one john servais plays the idea man tony le stéphanois always referred to as le stéphanois with such world weariness that he could have just stepped out of a camus novel tony has just recently gotten out of jail and resists re entering the life of crime until he has a highly unpleasant interaction with his ex lover who has taken up with another man where as punishment he physically whips her with a belt thankfully that scene occurs off camera but you are not likely to forget it after that sobering event since there seems little hope of reviving that relationship tony meets with two of his old partners in crime jo and mario and decides to join them in one last big heist they enlist the services of cesar an italian safe cracker played by director dassin himself and we are off to the heist the heist goes off without a hitch but cesar's womanizing bent is a personality trait that turns out to be fatal for all concerned however we can understand his attraction to the nightclub singer he has fallen for since there is a brilliant set piece where she performs a sexy and cinematically inspired nightclub act it has to be one of the most memorable scenes from any noir film it is established early on that tony has a close relationship with jo and his family in fact jo's son refers to him as uncle i think it is partly to help jo's family that tony agrees to the heist the ending scenes where tony saves the life of jo's kidnapped son partially redeems his more brutal and amoral actions but only partially

i have not read the book that this was based upon inspired by this being some of the others are film roles the last work of john ritter rip one hopes that it is hilarious and it is almost every time he's present in this as a matter of fact most of the cast supporting as well as regular play off each other well and the material tends to be great he plays paul hennessy the father of three teenagers rory the typical guy of that age kerry the depressive middle child who fights for causes and awareness and bridget the fashion loving popular ditz sagal makes a return to being the female lead in a sit com and her character is far removed from peggy bundy the show changed somewhat after mr three's company passed on and for a while they couldn't seem to make up their minds if they wanted to go for getting laughs or being poignant and making sure to be respectful one can wonder how or why it lasted for so long after that it could still be quite good some of the additions were fortunate if you like david spade most of his part consists of him doing his schtick and had stuff to say my personal favorite episode is in the last season the humor is a nice mix of dumb person jokes mainly related to the high schoolers silliness dark comedy and crude material this dealt with sex and other adult topics but never in a graphic manner the language is mild and on occasion moderately strong i recommend this to any fan of those who made it 8 10

brilliant thriller deserving far more fame mitchum and ryan are awesome in their starring roles as is the entire supporting cast a truly gripping film noir featuring some wonderfully images and some great dialogue at the heart of it all is a strong message of tolerance and understanding based on a novel concerning homophobia this movie attacks post war anti emitism and all intolerance and hatred with considerable power though parts may seem a little preachy to modern audiences it still has the power to shock and works very well as a thriller in its own right a credit to all involved

i saw this movie a fews years ago and was literally swept away by it so charming and so very romantic david duchovny and ms driver have chemistry that is so hot you will need to take off a layer of clothing the supporting cast is 100% top notch just watching caroll o'connor and robert loggia play off one another is pure poetry bonnie hunt and jim bellushi and a wonderful team and some of the films most charming moments are when they are on the screen like jim belushi screaming at his children to go to sleep forever! or him dancing in the kitchen this film made we wish i knew people like that in my own life not to mention what woman does not want david duchovny for a boyfriend

i just watched this movie on bravo! and it was absolutely horrible it has the plot of a shannon tweed movie without the nudity the premise was interesting enough a winning lottery ticket in a secluded area and people who have reasons why they want the money the characters were trite as were the observations on human nature and greed for a movie called class warfare it had very little to do with class differences other than the first 20 minutes and the predictable ending this movie could have done a lot better if there had been more characters with motivations to get the ticket and was a who done it the acting wasn't fantastic but it's hard to seem believable with such a terrible script lindsey mckeon is very cute and i'd like to see what she could do in a better production with a better script she's probably the only reason why i sat through the whole movie

how nice to have a movie the entire family can watch together josie bissett and rob estes who are married in real life play a couple who marry in las vegas on a whim and then not only have to break the news to their kids but then have to try to meld their respective households each has two boys and two girls into a cohesive family unit what transpires when the group which includes four teenagers two preteens and two younger children makes one wonder at first if there can ever be true happiness for carrie and jim the fights between the kids and one little love affair between two of them make one wonder if everyone will ever be able to get along more interesting than the brady bunch what this is a totally enjoyable way to spend a couple hours recommended as a feel good movie for all ages

as a fan of henriksen i liked him in the millennium series and of course lorenzo renegade lamas i had expected at least something from this film sadly the plot is predictable the acting is bad and the computergraphics used for most stunts don't work out sometimes it even looks like they've captured some shots from microsoft flight simulator the cinematography sucks as well unnecessary funky camerawork in the beginning only detracts from the cheesy dialogue and gives the film a cheap made for video look it works in hiphop movies and jet li movies but seems out of place in this flick i would have liked this film 10 years ago i was 11 then

in theory films should be a form of entertainment while this excludes documentaries and other experimental forms of film making most movies specially genre films must not only tell it's story or message they must entertain their target audience in some way all this just to say that in my opinion a bad movie is not a movie with low production values or low budget a bad movie is one that is boring hellborn or asylum of the damned as is known in the u s is a bad movie simply because it is just not involving and irremediably boring and tiresome while it has a very good premise it is just poorly developed and the mediocre acting doesn't make things better on another hands the film probably could had been a fine or even classic b movie but here it is just a bad attempt at film making director philip j jones tells the tale of james bishop matt stasi a young psychiatry resident who just got his dream job at st andrew mental hospital but the old asylum seems to hide a secret after the mysterious death of some patients and the constant rumors of satanic practices james decides to find out what is going on only to find the incredulity of his boss dr mccort bruce payne who believes that bishop is going as insane as his patients while the premise is quite interesting the execution of the film leaves a lot to be desired in an attempt of making a supernatural psychological thriller jones goes for the easy way out and makes a movie filled with every cliché of the genre of course there are lots of great movies that are also filled with clichés but in hellborn every single one is wasted and turned into a cheap jump scare to keep things moving resulting in a boring and predictable storyline the acting is quite mediocre for the most part with one big exception bruce payne gives a top notch performance that makes the movie look unworthy of such good acting matt stasi is very weak as the lead character and the rest of the cast make forgettable performances despite all this flaws one thing has to be written about hellborn it has a visual look very good for the budget and very similar to modern day big budget hollywod horror productions also the make up and prosthetics are done very nicely and the designs for the main antagonist are quite good sadly the rest of the special effects are awful and outdated making a huge contrast with the make up & prosthetics hellborn is a movie with a few good things outnumbered by its serious flaws with terrible results hardcore horror or b movie fans may be interested by its premise but it is a boring and tiresome experience 3 10

bela lugosi is an evil botanist who sends brides poisoned orchids on their wedding day steals the body in his fake ambulance hearse and takes it home for his midget assistant to extract the glandular juices in order to keep bela's wife eternally young some second rate actors playing detectives try to solve the terrible terrible mystery bela lugosi hams it up nicely but you can tell he needed the money this film is thoroughly awful and most of the actors would have been better off sticking to waiting tables but the plot is wonderfully ridiculous tell anyone what happens in it and they tend to laugh quite a lot and demand to see the film i got the dvd in a discount store 2 for £1 which i think is a pretty accurate valuation anyone paying more for this would be out of their mind

what the hell was this i'll admit there were some scenes that caught my eye such as the 23 bullshit where the protagonist sees or calculates the number 23 everywhere he goes but that was pretty much the movie in a nutshell ! for crying out loud this was supposed to be a suspense movie and being labeled as a psychological thriller i would have expected it to have at least some catastrophic effect on the mind but instead what did we get we just got something as shitty as an animal control guy finding himself in the middle of a mid life crisis and his journey to redemption kinda like an old man flick if you ask me i probably should have just rented wild hogs it wouldn't have made a difference i mean who are we kidding they should have made someone else the killer of that girl by juxtaposing sparrow with the protagonist of that book the number 23 they were pretty much giving out the movie to the viewers by hinting that he was the killer all along how would that have shaken our heads shame on all of you voters who chose to show some generosity towards this wretched piece of work you call a movie and kudos to most of the critics who concurred with my reaction

i have to say that this miniseries was the best interpretation of the beloved novel jane eyre both dalton and clarke are very believable as rochester and jane i've seen other versions but none compare to this one the best one for me i could never imagine anyone else playing these characters ever again the last time i saw this one was in 1984 when i was only 13 at that time i was a bookworm and i had just read charlotte bronte's novel i was completely enchanted by this miniseries and i remember not missing any of the episodes i'd like to see it again because it's so good

doesn't mean this movie is good i was really frustrated by it on many levels it's kind of the tip of the hat to bukowski hey i've read that guy in college let's see what matt dillon does with him and i like matt dillon i thought he came close to looking a little like hank but mostly just the ruddy cheeks i have to care about a character though and there just wasn't much here to care about i think time might be cruel to bukowski and that bothers me a lot because the writing was solid in a sort of post counter culture time hard to sit through scenes that went nowhere and a soundtrack that made me want to vomit i ask for very little got less

my roommate and i have another friend that works at a local blockbuster video he finds truly awful movies for us and tells us about them one of them was a christmas horror film starring former professional wrestler bill goldberg as a killer satna claus we didn't watch it immediately but we didn't think there could be anything worse apparently we were wrong we were shown this slasher film starring ken shamrock versus a murderous scarecrow at first we thought ken would actually be the killer scarecrow and that's why we wanted to watch but he wasn't and that made the movie even worse what absolutely ruined the movie was the teen drama if you want to save your brain cells from trying to escape from your head never ever watch this movie

this movie seemed like it was put together very quickly in both plot and graphics my two daughters were ready to go 30 minutes before the end of the movie which rarely happens when we go to the theaters this was a nickelodeon production and it would have been better if they had released it on the t v station the animation itself in some parts was o k but the plot was horrible a classic tale of a son trying to fulfill a fathers expectations is used in a lot of kids movies but the animation or graphics need to be really good to keep a childs attention this was not the case with this film there were also awkward elements between the lead male character and the lead female character that the plot could have done without

this review is for the extended cut of this movie i first watched dragon lord when i bought it on dvd many years ago i always liked this movie and you can read some of the more positive reviews of it to get the general idea that being said i've always found the storyline a bit confusing the movie is after all a love story and it always seemed strange to me that a love story should end with a 20 minute fight scene well in the extended version this is no longer so the old original version begins off with a huge barrel climb rugby like sequence which is the new ending sequence in the extended version the opening sequence is dragon jackie chan hanging around his house and pretending to be training and reciting whenever his father is around other sequenced have also been shift or prolonged in the extended cut and the story makes a lot more sense when you watch it the pacing is also better and overall it just works better it feels more like a love story and doesn't leave you asking questions about why it ends so drastically and dramatically as the regular version does i suggest everyone who is a hong kong cinema or just plain jackie chan fanatic to get a hold of the extended version and watch the movie the way it was originally intended or at least that's how i think it was intended why else would they make it and rearrange some of the scenes when i was done watching it i felt like i had watched a completely new jackie chan movie although most of the sequences were the same

detective tony rome frank sinatra returns to the screen after his self titled debut this time it's a film that's played for erm…laughs while on a diving trip rome finds the body of a blonde beauty at the bottom of the sea her feet as you might expect encased in cement rome immediately on the case after being hired by man mountain waldo gronsky rome finds himself immediately at risk as he has to investigate some mafia types who turn the tables on him and he is himself found to be the main suspect he must now go on the run and hope to solve the case alone the portly sinatra tries hard to sell us the lame jokes and make us believe he is a good detective oh and not to mention being sexually attractive to the foxy raquel welch but he fails miserably in this ham fisted vanity project the frankly laughable denouement that surrounds every female is quite astounding every woman in the film is a dither head who likes bending over is front of the camera director douglas of course obliges in zooming in on the cracks of their asses each time as they flex their posterior muscles there's even a ridiculously campy gay character that beggars belief this was a film made by real men for real men to reaffirm their own flagging sexuality it's a shameful shambles

having been interested in akhenaton for many years i was surprised to learn about this film via e bay and bought a copy on dvd for 99p i enjoyed the film the twists and turns in the plot and that the file was mainly about the main character sinuhe makes it more of a family saga rather than an action film the costumes and attention to detail was remarkable for its time 1955 the back projection during the chariot ride now looks clumsy my main interest was in the character of akhenaton and his monotheistic religion in this film he was portrayed as being jesus like in his refusal to go to war with the hittites even through they were invading egypt and in his closing speech about the futility of materiality and political power initially one makes a connection between sinuhe who was cast adrift in the river nile in a reed basket and the old testament moses but this connection is not carried no doubt this will be fully explored in a new film wherein a moses like character carries akhenaton's monotheistic religion out to the wider world if such a film will ever be politically possible to make it is universally accepted that were women are concerned we man are stupid creatures but the relationship or lack of one between sinuhe and merit the character played by jean simmons is hard to accept and that sinuhe an educated physician would be so smitten by nefer the babylonian femme fatal to the extent of giving her his adopted parents house and tomb is not really believable neither that his parents would even have a tomb in real life nefer nefertitti was the wife of akhenaton and although horemheb did become pharaoh it was after a few others including tutankhamen who was the son of akhenaton but of course this is just nit picking and the film is enjoyable to watch and that it is about akhenaton and his monotheistic religion is a big bonus maybe following the de vinci code book and film this film be re made with the central secret being the foundation of our current monotheism! i wait in great anticipation of such a film there are already numerous books on the subject

this is an hilarious movie one of the very best things about it is the quality of the performance by each actor from the largest role to the smallest each character is vivid unforgettable and so understandable it can also make you laugh so hard your health will improve

amicus made close to a good half dozen of these horror anthologies in the 70's and this from leading horror scribe robert bloch is one of their best efforts there are four stories all worthwhile but two sweets for the sweet and method for murder distinguish themselves as highly effective journeys into fear in sweets christopher lee plays an impatient widower whose lovely daughter chloe franks becomes resentful of his neglect and brutish intolerance so she sculpts a voodoo doll with which she expresses her distaste for his methods franks is a beautiful figure of mischievous evil and delivers one of the greatest child performances in a horror film since martin stephens in the innocents this installment is directed with great subtlety and the final outrage occurring off screen is a moment of purest horror method of murder is about a horror novelist denholm elliott who is menaced by one of his own creations the creepy dominic this episode is striking for its simplicity and stark terror dominic may or may not be real so director peter duffell has a great time playing with our expectations the brief shots of dominic reflected in a pond or seen as a fleeting phantasm in a meadow are truly haunting the original poster art featuring a skeletal figure clasping a tray holding peter cushing's severed head was a rich enticement for punters fixed on fear

let's start from this point this is not a movie intended for the common audience utterly bizarre somehow incomprehensible totally unpredictable it just keep you stoned watching at the screen trying to figure out what will happen next if that by itself doesn't make you agree it is an excellent movie then go back to your family movies and forget about motorama it has material to be considered a cult movie it can be placed in the same category with movies that win awards in cannes or other intellectual film festivals but sadly hollywood already let if fall in oblivion simply because it is not commercial the performance of young jordan christopher michael may not be oscar material but he gives the right touch to the story even the genre is difficult to describe it is not a comedy in the proper sense you don't know if you are supposed to laugh at the strange situations in which gus gets involved it is more like an impossible adventure that some kids may wish to have but don't let them watch it either it is not a movie for kids so if you like disney movies or are looking for a home alone style this one is definitively not for you but if you enjoy reading edgar alan poe or the works of tim burton then you will like motorama so jump in your red mustang get a tattoo spelling tora and cruise strangeland with gus i'd like that

this is the worst movie i have ever seen the story line is a joke the effects are terrible the cinematography doesn't fit the tone of the movie the dialogue is cheesy and the actors do a good job at screwing up the rest people just don't act that way in real life situations my question is who would fund such crap the movie starts where some miners fall down a mine shaft after a fireman fails to save them next we join some bikers in a forest who ride around doing stunts on their bikes one guy falls and breaks his leg or something the fireman arrives to help them meanwhile somebody starts a fire some more bike stunts bla bla bla i wasted my time do not watch this movie

the somewhat belligerent brother of a suicide finds that he and his mother grieve in much the same way by acting out but that dad is morose and blaming himself writer director dan harris gives us a dysfunctional family torn at the seams characters with question marks hanging over them and then lays all the story points out in the most obvious terms suicide! secrets! gay shame! family sickness! ultimately aiming to wrap things up with a tidy bow harris wants to make sure we don't miss a trick initially giving us thoughtful material to ponder but then spelling everything out in an elementary sentimental fashion sigourney weaver's bemused performance as the family matriarch is dryly disengaged and she's a joy that is until harris gives her a make over complete with sensible new hairstyle it's the cinematic equivalent of a condescending pat on the head ** from ****

i haven't had a chance to view the previous film but from what i've read on other posts it was supposedly worse than this one although i doubt that is possible i'm a huge fan of the zombie genre and i am fascinated by the psychological aspects of viewing creatures that for all intents and purposes are human as an atrocity that is only worth shooting in the head that said hotd 2 takes the zombie movie to an all new low without giving any big spoilers which i really should do just so you won't bother wasting your time actually watching this movie i would like to express my utter contempt for the way the writers of this film portray our countries special forces gomer pile could have probably survived longer than the spec ops soldiers in this film for crying out loud they should have called them the special education forces instead if you are going to write a script where you send in an elite team to deal with an outbreak of zombies at least have the soldiers be smarter than the walking corpses i understand that you have to kill off some or most of the team but you can find better ways to do it than having them set down their machine guns and walk over to lay a tender hand on the shoulder of the drooling crazy person rocking back and forth in the corner of the dark creepy basement the writers actually try to take the whole zombie thing to a more high tech level by making it a virus that they are searching for a vaccine for and the idea has merit if it wasn't stuck in the middle of such a ridiculous display of wayward film making i mean come on zombie films aren't exactly high art and the viewer expects some tongue in cheek cheesiness along with the gore and thrills but hotd 2 is the type of cheese that makes you turn the channel in disgust and awe of the sheer stupidity of the characters if you are a zombie movie fan like me please do yourself a favor and stay away from this one

my husband and i just got done watching this movie i was not expecting it to be this good! i was really astonished at how great the story line was i'm usually very good at figuring out twisty plots but this one had me i loved it! i'm going to have to watch it again before i take it back i might even have to buy it

how did mike hammer live in a penthouse with a golf bag stashed in the corner next to a big screen cathode ray tube tv and a snazzy fireplace nah he'd knock back a bottle of rye and twenty unfiltered camels on the couch or floor of his fly specked office or in the stink of a lousy downtown la flop house wiping the dried red crust and oil smeared mud off his face that's how spillane wrote trash paperbacks for sure but how do you make it worse give some desperate scheming producer a blank check because he thinks any film noir titled crap will sell at the box office add some over the hill hot tomatoes and just generally screw up the story line by some retard drugged out screen writer that's how!

last year i fell in love with the tim burton's version of sweeney todd so i wanted to check out the other versions of this musical and i found this one at the library though i think burton's is best probably because i like film a lot better than theater this is still a great production of the story i haven't seen any of the other versions but i am trying to get my hands on them after seeing johnny depp as todd it's hard for me to imagine anyone else in the role but george hearn does a fantastic job angela lansbury is great as always and all of the singing is fantastic i found myself singing along this is a play you won't want to miss but try and see it before you see the film version so you won't have a biased view like me

i was very impressed with what eddie monroe was able to accomplish in regards to its overall affect on me i say this because i know this independent film had a limited budget resources but despite this it comes across as a convincing and well crafted piece of work enjoyable from start to finish with several relatively unknown actors which i can't help but believe will make a big noise in the industry in years to come eddie monroe didn't fail to keep my interest engaged and my emotional meter dancing it's a well scripted story with a startling ending despite my effort to not be taken off guard many of the cast names listed for this film are names to look out for in the future someone told me that paul regina recently passed and if this is true it's a real tragedy since his stoic performance in eddie monroe is remarkable kudos to fred carpenter who has truly pulled out a winner with this one!

this is a very unusual film in that the star with the top billing doesn't appear literally until half way in nevertheless i was engaged by the hook of the phantom lady curtis though competent as the falsely accused scott henderson looks a little tough to be be sympathetic towards perhaps he should have shaved his moustache and his behavior when he first comes home should have convinced the cops at least to some degree of his innocence while another commentator had a problem with franchot tone as jack marlowe i found his portrayal of the character to be impressively complex he is no stock villain superb character actor elisha cook jr is again in top form as the 'little man with big ambitions ' his drumming in the musical numbers added a welcome touch of eroticism this movie however is carried by the very capable and comely ella raines as the devoted would be lover of henderson carol richmond she definitely has talent and her screen presence is in the tradition of lauren bacall this is the first of her work i have seen and i am definitely inclined to see her other roles the rest of the supporting cast is also more than competent all in all a very satisfying film noir mystery which when viewed today fully conveys the dark and complex urban world it is intended to recommended 8 10

wasted is just that a waste of time mtv is churning out made for tv movies at quite a clip nowadays a friend of mine recommended this and i rented it needless to say i will not be pursuing anymore recomendations from her anytime soon this movie shows the rollercoaster of drug use the problem is you really don't care about any of the characters due to lack of believabilty and their own self discipline this movie is in a word annoying to watch from the terrible camera angles to the quality of dialogue and pacing the 'digital' format tries for realism but comes up distracting if you want a true scope on drug use watch requiem for a dream

i really think i should make my case and have every horror and or cult movie buff go and see this movie i did! it is excellent very atmospheric and unsettling and scary incridible how they could make such a gem of a film with the very low read no ! budget they had synopsis taken from website one morning an old man wanders out into the woods in search of his runaway cat he finds instead a child without parents and a murder with no corpse on this website imdb there is no trailer but i will leave a link here to the site of the movie itself where there is a trailer which is quite unsettling so please go and check it out www softfordigging com

i first saw enchanted april about five years ago i loved it so much that my husband surprised me with a copy the following christmas it's about two women who decide to rent a castle in italy for the month of april leaving their humdrum lives behind them they are very sad women at the outset of the film and you can't help but root them on as they plan this get away with two other women they invite along to share the expenses this is perhaps the most feel good movie i have ever seen it' pure and simple with no car chases no animosities and no deaths it was made with care and in very good taste you cannot help but smile all through it except when you're crying happy tears!

i'm a 53 year old college professor i went with my wife and 12 year old daughter we all enjoyed the movie the film is original witty fast paced and totally charming the plot was easy enough for a 10 year old to follow but twisty enough to keep an adult interested i thought emma roberts did a superb job and the rest of the cast was just fine my only criticism is that the los angeles sets were not as interesting as they should have been they were functional but nothing stood out on the other hand make up costume lighting cinematography editing and directing were excellent altogether i thought it was a totally enjoyable experience i am disappointed that the professional critics almost all adult males savagely attacked the film apparently they have something against films that portray strong intelligent and independent young women their writings reveal more about their own sexist natures than anything about this wonderful family film i recommend it strongly to every child and every parent

in my lit class we've just finished the book hatchet and this movie is nothing like the book 1 brian never ate worms in the book 2 he didn't know the pilot's name 3 his mom was cheating on his father in a station wagon not in the woods where anyone could see 4 the man the mother is cheating with doesn't have black hair he has blonde now for the unrealistic parts of the movie 1 a thirteen year old can't punch his fist through a window in one punch and for the acting the kid who played brian was a horrible actor however i do believe that the scenery was impressive though i highly doubt the director even read the book this movie is good if you have not read the book hatchet by gary paulsen but if you have then begin a complaint letter to the director

this show has to be my favorite out of all the 80's horror tv shows like tales from the darkside also from the same creators this show is a rare gem if you agree with me please sign this petition i started to get the word out for monsters and get it out on dvd here is the petition address www petitiononline com 19784444 petition html some of my favorite episodes would have to be glim glim and rain dance i also loved the opening intro with the monster family that used to creep me out! one of the things i would have to ask the dvd creators to include would be the organ sound heard right before where the commercial break would be i don't know if any of you remember that part but that's one of the main things that brings back memories to me i mean come on! war of the worlds the tv series already has been released on dvd so i say monsters and also tales from the darkside and friday the 13th the series should be released too! we the fans need to speak our minds! we need this awesome show on dvd so please spread the word!!!

this is going to be the most useless comment i have ever put down but yet i must do it to warn you about the atrocity to cinema that freddy's dead is it is not only the very worst chapter of the nightmare series but is right up there with the worst horror sequel of all time! it was boring pointless and nearly death free the horrible 3 d ending and over the top corny kills are enough to drive this film into the ground however it doesn't stop there just add bad acting a terrible script and a number of cheesy cameos and you've got yourself this heaping pile of guano! it's no wonder why freddy as always played by robert englund has made two postmortem appearances i would too if i went out like that this is a strictly fans only movie don't stare at our shame

this is one of the movies of dev anand who gave great yet distinct movies to hindi movie industries such as jewel thief and guide the story is short if you ask me what is the story plot is simple a brother seeks for his lost sister sister has joined the hippies who smoke from pot and chant hare rama hare krishna yet the movie portrays few of the significant events that the world experienced in 70's hippie culture their submission to drugs freedom escaping duty family and adopting anything new such as eastern which was new for whites religion they have been handled perfectly zeenat gave her best and dev as usual was remarkable songs are the best used unlike they are abused for the sake of having songs in this movie they have not been spoiled one perfect example is 'dekho o deewano ram ka naam badnam na karo' each word in the song is very philosophical and meaningful the end is tragic but that is not the essence of the movie overall devji who does believe in making different movies has been successful in showing what he wanted to show here a must see to experience hippie culture and beautiful nepal of 70's

as an aging rocker this movie mentions heep and quo my 2 favourite bands ever but with the incredible cast everyone and the fantastic storyline i just love this piece of creative genius i cannot recommend it more highly and mick jones added so much foreigner lead and primary songwriter along with the greatest rock singer ever lou gramm i have watched this great work more than 10 times bill nighy what a voice and jimmy nail talent oozes from every pore then astrid and karen what more could an aging rocker ask for!! 10 10 bloody brilliant alastair perth western oz originally from windsor england

winchester 73 gets credit from many critics for bringing back the western after wwii director anthony mann must get a lot of credit for his excellent direction jimmy stewart does an excellent job but i think stephen mcnalley and john mcintire steal the movie with their portrayal of two bad guys involved in a high stakes poker game with the treasured winchester 73 going to the winner this is a good script with several stories going on at the same time look for the first appearance of rock hudson as young bull thank god with in a few years we would begin to let indians play themselves in western films the film is in black and white and was shot in tucson arizona i would not put winchester 73 in the category of stagecoach high noon or shane but it gets an above average recommendation from me

i am sad to say that i disagree with other people on this columbo episode death lends a hand is frankly kind of a boring columbo to me after a few times i get bored and changed the channel i still love robert culp and patricia crowley and ray milland in their roles but the story was weaker in this episode than in the others first robert culp plays an investigator for ray milland's character he hires him to investigate his young pretty wife played by patricia crowley to see if she is having an affair in return culp's character blackmails the cheating wife who plans to expose his scheme to her husband ruining his career out of anger culp kills her by striking her in the face and setting the up the body elsewhere i don't know maybe i just didn't care for this one at all of course columbo gets him in the end it's just the question of how

prison is not often brought up during conversations about the best eighties horror films and there's a good reason for that because it's not one of the best but as you delve past the classic films that the decade had to offer this is certainly among the best of the lesser known smaller films the film does have some connection to blockbusters for a start it's an early directorial effort for renny harlin the capable director behind a number of action films including die hard 2 cliffhanger and deep blue sea and secondly we have an early role for lord of the rings star viggo mortensen the film is not exactly original but the plot line is interesting we focus on a prison that has been reopened after a number of years this was the prison where a man named charles forsyth was sent to the electric chair after being framed by the prison's governor naturally the spirit of the dead man is not resting in peace and when the old execution room is reopened the spirit of the dead convict escapes for vengeance the film is not exactly the shawshank redemption but it does take care to build up its various characters and while the main point of the film is always the horror the prison drama behind it all does make for an interesting base this is a good job too because other than the basic premise the film doesn't really have a 'plot' to go from and we solely rely on the interaction between the characters to keep things interesting the horror featured in the film is at times grotesque but it's never over the top which might actually be the reason why this film is seldom remembered being released in a decade of excess the murders themselves are rather good and imaginative however and provide some major highlights as the film goes on we start to delve more into the back story of the vengeful convict's ghost and while it's fairly interesting some things about it don't make sense and it drags the film down a little still everything boils down to an exciting climax and overall i have to say that prison is a film well worth tracking down

butch the peacemaker evidently after the violent beginning with spike tom and jerry all swinging away at each other butch calls a halt and wants to know why it's a good question cats can get along with dogs can't they he asks tom who nods his head in agreement mice can get along with cats right jerry nods no and then sees that isn't the right answer they go inside and butch draws up a peace treaty complete with professional artwork! most of the rest and the bulk of the cartoon is the three of them being extremely nice to one another what a refreshing change of pace i found it fun to watch i can a million of these cartoons in which every beats each other over the head anyway you knew the peace wasn't going to last a big piece of steak spells the death of the peace treaty but en route it was nice change and still had some of usual tom & jerry clever humor

like in so many movies of the past you would think hollywood would learn this by now makes for a very disappointing movie not to mention make sure the kidnapped victim is alive first before paying the ransom maybe this film wants to remind of these basic facts in case it should ever happen to one of us why the long walk in the woods and can a city guy really go through the woods without getting lost just an opportunity for some sentimental dialog that was meaningless in the end i had to listen to part of the director's comments in the special features section from the great moves that redford has made in the past sneakers for one surprised he agreed to star in such a film the director's comments and reasons were weak the best parts of this movie was the scenery can't wait for spring to come

i really wanted to write a title for this review that didn't come off as corny or gushing but still described my feelings for this show i can see now that it is not possible american family is one of the best shows i have ever had the pleasure of watching on television several reviewers here on imdb have mentioned the word beautiful when describing this show never has a word been more fitting the cinematography for this show is stunning every scene and shot looks like a masterpiece the lighting camera moves scene composition and colors i have to keep reminding myself that i'm watching a tv show and not a motion picture masterpiece the score by lee holdridge and nathan wang brings tears to my eyes and most importantly the acting by the all around amazing cast is honest and sincere i do not feel like i am watching performances i feel like i'm watching real life if only real life could be this beautiful american family has indeed raised the bar for quality entertainment on television i highly recommend this show to anyone who is willing to watch it i could easily chide cbs for passing on this show but i have to say that it doesn't matter to me who airs it i'm just glad it's out there for everyone to see so i do thank pbs for not allowing this show to disappear into nothingness i have to give special recognition to the way each season's finale ended the first one was pure creative brilliance and it moved me to tears i was waiting to see if season two would also end in a creative way and sure enough it did again tears my thanks to all of those involved you really have made a special piece of art with this show and i sincerely mean that it is a shame that we only got two seasons but a miracle we got anything at all

i saw this film at a special screening at first i thought the movie would be like a typical amanda bynes movie but i was wrong the movie is based on the shakespeares book the twelth night this movie tells the story of a girl who lives to play soccer well when the girls team is cut she has to go to great lengths to get on the guys team at a different school to get revenge on the egotistical guys team at her old school on her way she gets caught up in a long tangled web of love lies and deception this movie is this years mean girls i think it shows some great new actors abilities and there are defiantly some big stars to be featured in this movie

i saw this kung fu movie when i was a kid and i thought it was so cool! now i am 26 years old and my friend has it on dvd!!! we got a case of brew and watched this classic! it lost none of it's original kung fu coolness! if you are a fan of kung fu karate movies this is a must see the dvd is available i believe this movie is also called pick your poison watch it soon!

and there were quite a few of these i do not like this cartoon as much as many others partly because it was made in its period i much prefer cartoons with daffy and bugs which are fifteen or so years before hand many people will like this particularly people who always find violence funny cartoon or not the basic plot is a pretty well known one for looney tunes elmer goes out hunting daffy leads him to bugs and daffy ends up being shot instead also inserted are quite clever and highly entertaining jokes some do not enhance the episode ugly shooting and animation which is slightly mediocre the plot is mainly geared by jokes each joke keeps the episode going this way of plot going is not all that unusual in looney tunes of course if you are pretty much a looney tunes boffin or an eager one like me then you'll know this already for people who love everything about looney tunes and daffy duck and like the sound of what i have said about it enjoy rabbit seasoning ! 7 and a half out of ten

others have commented on the somewhat strange video arrangements i think they were trying to capture what you'd be looking at when attending a live performance the feet the faces the overall view unfortunately it falls a bit short but having said that watching colin dunne is nevertheless gratifying it's an interesting contrast to michael flatley in the original video the progression of the show is evident changes from the original dublin production are evident trading taps is the highlight of the video in my opinion tarik winston is unbelievable as is his partner in the piece i think the audio was better in this version than the original video production 1995 in dolby 5 1 on dvd it's excellent despite the flawed videography it's a must own for riverdance fans

when i saw this in the cinema i remember wincing at the bad acting about a minute or two into the first scene then immediately telling myself no this has to get better it didn't the performances are pretty uniformly teak 'n pine and no there is no sexual chemistry in this film whatsoever just the awkward posturings of a reasonably comely discreetly talentless actress who seems born to grace the cover of interviú and not much else besides if the scriptwriter thought that making mérimée a character was a stunningly original creative ploy he perhaps ought to get out more and aranda if he'd given the matter a bit more thought would have realised that the story of carmen is just crying out for a thoughtful iconoclastic parodic deconstruction not this leave your brains at the turnstile affair of ersatz passion and comic book dialogue this is contemporary spanish cinema at its worst

de palma's technique had hit its high maturity by the time of this film which is a wonderful showcase of his classic techniques though unfortunately as with many of the films written by de palma himself the story serves the meta more than the interests of putting forth an emotionally compelling tale the story opens with a crazy scene in which angie dickinson masturbates in a shower while she looks at her husband she is then grabbed and raped while he husband stands obliviously near— and the whole thing is revealed to be angie's fantasy as he husband is pumping mindlessly away at her in bed she has a short scene with her son a dead ringer for harry potter which concludes with a joke that she'll tell grandma that he is playing with his peter she then goes to her therapy session where she complains about her dead marriage before attempting to seduce her therapist michael caine he refuses and she is hurt and feeling unattractive and unfulfilled then begins a bravura 22 minute nearly wordless sequence that is perhaps the highlight of the film among the many things de palma gleaned from hitchcock is the understanding of film as a purely visual medium of telling stories… and in typical de palma fashion he turns this into a way to show off his formidable skill the problem for me is that in this instance one begins to feel that scenes are being needlessly protracted simply to further show off the director's skill the sequence begins with angie at an art museum she watches strangers all involved in sexual or family activities then begins to get turned on to a man sitting next to her de palma very skillfully tells an extremely complicated narrative without a single word about angie's attraction embarrassment retreating and finally finding and submitting to the stranger in the back of a taxi cab all set to a wonderfully lush score by pino donaggio who also scored carrie in the second part of the sequence angie has slept with the guy and gets up to return to her husband again de palma crams a ton of narrative in without a word of dialogue uttered as angie realizes that she doesn't have her panties that her husband is already home and no doubt wondering where she is that she has probably contracted a venereal disease and that she has lost her engagement ring somewhere in the shuffle it's all very admirable but one begins to feel a little strung along as we are forced to do things like take a long elevator ride down from the seventh floor then up again almost in real time spoilers from here on out! when angie reaches the seventh floor again she is killed by a big woman with blond hair the woman hacks away at her until she reaches the ground floor when the door opens and nancy allen sees her there there is a wonderful slow motion sequence as nancy reaches into the elevator angie reaches up toward her and the killer's blade is held poised to slash nancy's hands then follow some electrifying shots as nancy looks up and sees the killer in the elevators convex mirror it's all good and by the time we have some dialogue again you think woah that was just 22 straight minutes of purely visual narrative! or maybe you don't but i do a younger dennis franz has a great part as a sleazy and tough new york detective who would rather that everyone else do his work for him he interviews michael caine making the outrageous implication though it passes as commonplace that angie wanted to be killed angie's son is there as well and he hooks up with nancy and they set about to spy on caine's therapist and find out who the killer is once again there is a strong tie to a hitchcock film in this case psycho just as obsession is a re working of vertigo you have a woman who we are supposed to understand is secretly a slut who gets killed in the first 30 minutes in an enclosed space in this case an elevator rather than a shower then the relatives of the deceased conduct an investigation which reveals that the killer is a man who dresses as a woman to kill de palma even throws in a doctor at the end who explains the psychology of the whole thing it is very interesting but at the same time a viewer can begin to feel a bit jerked around and that is my primary reservation about this film it is definitely essential viewing and showcases some of de palma's greatest setpieces but that feeling that the story is running a solid third behind the need for de palma to show off and his somewhat unseemly sexual fantasies makes it hard to look back on this one with whole hearted affection check out other reviews on my website of bad and cheesy movies cinema de merde cinemademerde com

having read many of the comments here i'm surprised that no one has recognized this as basically an overlong remake of a twilight zone episode from 1960 called mirror image starring vera miles rod serling did a much better job of creating an effective spooky tale in 24 minutes than sean ellis did in 88 minutes with this tedious snooze a short piece can be effective with a mysterious and unexplained ending but in a feature film there should be a bit more substance and the story should make sense sadly substance and sense are two things missing from the broken yes it has some moments but they are not enough to justify your time some further observations although this is clearly a contemporary story not one character in the movie has a cellphone! and even though a car accident is the event that gets the story going there is never any reference to an insurance company to the person who was driving the other car or to the police who would have been required to do a report my advice skip this bore and watch the original instead!

just got around to seeing monster man yesterday it had been a long wait and after lots of anticipation and build up i'm glad to say that it came through and met my expectations on every level true you really can't expect too much from hearing the plot rundown but after reading some of the reviews for it i was ecstatic i mean what trash fan wouldn't want to see a gore flick about a deranged inbred hick mowing people down with his make shift monster truck i went in expecting a cross between road trip and the hills have eyes and got so much more this was a horror comedy that actually worked the film makers got it right when it came to making you squirm and making you howl with laughter at the same time kudos to michael davis for going all out with the gore and pushing the envelope with the sickass humor let me list just a few reasons why i love this movie so much first off is the story it's been done to death in so many other flicks a college guy gets wind that his childhood crush is getting married he being the 25 year old virgin that he is hops in his vista cruiser and decides to take the road trip to confess his love hoping that she will fall head over hills and all that good jive hidden in the backseat of his station wagon is good buddy harley harley is the loudmouth former friend who laughs and talks just like jack black in high fidelity you can't help but like the guy but if he was your friend in real life you'd have to keep a whiffle ball bat handy laugh all you want but have you ever been hit with one to keep him in check so he's a little on the obnoxious side to say the least but you can tell that he's a loyal friend deep down anyway they're on the road and when they stop in a bar they aggravate the locals now they're being stalked by a leatherface clone in a monster truck that's it yeah along the way they pick up a gorgeous hitchhiker but i'm too lazy and hungover to go into that right now so just watch the damn movie second thing i love was the humor this one had some of the sickest laughs of any movie since cabin fever just how messed up is it well i won't even go into the whole cat scene and as for the corpse burrito thing i'll leave that to your virgin eyes as well the bar full of amputees was somewhat disturbing and that guy who looked like john turturro bothered me too harley although a totally obnoxious frat boy type can really sling off the one liners love the clogs by the way i need a new pair the gore this one pours it on heavy while the first hour plays out as a demented road comedy the last third is all about blood and guts if the movie hadn't kept such a light tone throughout it would have been a little disturbing but seeing how it was all played for laughs there is no way possible that you will be bothered by it if you're still in your seat by the time it comes you'll probably see the humor in it too but seriously there were buckets and buckets of the red stuff there was a big plot turn that i didn't see coming and when the credits rolled i was completely satisfied i had gotten exactly what i came for and i'm really glad that i bought it much like cabin fever it's going to get a lot of replay the look of the movie was outstanding there was this deliberately cheap look that made the whole thing scream late 80s and i loved the exaggerated colors it's obvious that monster man was done on a relatively low budget but much like cabin fever sorry i keep comparing the two it actually works in the movie's favor cabin fever was an ode to the 70s greats this was the 80s answer to that so take that for what it's worth no cgi here this is what we all needed i'm not exactly sure why it didn't get a theatrical release because this is everything that jeepers creepers should have been thank god for lions gate

i was very moved by the story and because i am going through something similar with my own parents i really connected it is so easy to forget that someone whose body is failing was once vibrant and passionate and then there's the mistakes they made and have to live with i loved ellen burstyn's performance and who is christine horne she's fantastic! a real find there is probably the most erotic scene i've ever seen in a film yet nothing was shown it was just so beautifully done overall the look and feel of the film was stunning a real emotional journey cole hauser is very very good in this picture he humanizes a man spiraling downwards i liked the way the filmmaker approached this woman's life never sentimental never too much just enough to hook us in but not enough to bog down

i have a 19 month old and got really tired of watching care bears all the time rooney is a great dancer who cares if he is gay this guy must have been a cheerleader or something beats barney cant get the songs out of my head must stop singing doodlebops songs now must have 10 lines of text so i must continue what about when the say all the canadian stuff like ooout aboooot whacky canadians jazmine is rhyming too much she must be dutch knock knock who's there dee dee super hottie bus driver bob cannot dance take lessons from rooney

what great locations a visual challenge to all those who put their eye behind the lens this little jewel is an amazing account of what you can shoot in just 16 days good going folks! i can not wait to see what your next feature will be i'll be with you all the way

the earth is destined to be no more thanks to father pergado and a bunch of nuns christopher lee who has since said that he was duped in to appearing in this by his producers who told him loads of great actors were involved is father pergado and gets to do his usual serious and scary routine the cast are not too bad though most have now retired from acting the film has terrible sound effects mainly created from pressing keys on an old computer it seems and it ridiculously pondering at times showing a scene of the sky for instance for what feels like hours at a time despite this the story is pretty humorous in a world is doomed sort of way and the production is adequate interestingly one scene features albert band and wife jackie meda band writer frank ray perilli and charles band's assistant bennah burton despite its plodding nature i genuinely wanted to see how it all worked out and thus quite liked it

well where do i start as one of the other reviewers said you know you're in for a real treat when you see the opening shot minutes and minutes of film time spent on a guy standing on a travelator i won't repeat rubin's excellent summary of the story what i would like to say though is that this film gripped me more than any film i can remember i sat open mouthed and on the edge of my seat all the way through the camera work sound track and *fantastic* performances particularly that of tony servillo draw you to the screen and won't let you look away it's italian so of course everyone looks fantastic but it is by no means merely an exercise in cool style this is a film with lots to say about luck loss and love go and see it

begotten is one of the most unique films i've ever seen it is more to me a study of sound light and dark and movement than a real story the type of thing you see as a video instillation at the museum of modern art than a film enjoyed at the local theater i'm not going to try to interpret the images of the mother nature the beasts in cloaks the twisted and tortured body of her child some things just defy interpretation

although this was a low budget film and clearly last minute it holds a certain charm that is difficult to pinpoint i tend to believe it is the scriptwriter grant morris see dead dog who despite the warped plot line injected a fantastic slice of humour sorely missing in many of today's box office hits definitely a must see for a sunday afternoon laughfest speaking as a true single girl and very sceptical this film did not inspire me particularly but did ignite a small flame of hope for a lovelife not my lovelife so much as my slightly crazy neighbour's lovelife who lets her hamster sleep in her bed with her she may find someone

darr is a great movie! shahrukh plays an obsessed lover who will do almost anything to win over his lady which in this case is juhi chawla little does juhi know in the film that shahrukh has a major crush on her and is constantly stalking her i have to admit some of the things he did in this movie were pretty creepy like the threatening phone calls never in my life will i forget the line i love you k k k kiran! it's just too bad that shahrukh and juhi weren't exactly together in the film but juhi and sunny do make a fairly good couple in the movie though shahrukh's role was pretty psychotic i still think he did a great job of playing it and can't possibly imagine anyone else doing that role no wonder he got an award for darr in 94'! juhi what can i say she looks especially amazing in this film! it's not that she doesn't always look amazing in her other films but darr did give the public a wonderful image of her! as for the music it was excellent! especially jaadu teri nazar one of my all time favorite songs i also thought tu mere samne was quite nice also a must see for everyone! overall darr deserves a 9 10!

it would be a shame if tommy lee jones and robert duval ever see this movie as they will probably be associated with it in years to come oh yeah the public will say 'comanche moon' that's the mini series about the texas rangers and the comanche indians that starred tommy lee jones and robert duval it was a real stinker and probably the worst movie they were ever in i think it was a comedy but a not very funny comedy i really don't understand why they agreed to be in it that would be such an injustice as the original lonesome dove was a true western classic and this turkey is a real bomb and jones and duval will be remembered for it

i love this movie the cast were all terrific in the portrayal of their various characters judith ivey did so well portraying a weak fearful dependent who was passive aggressive in her complaining and self involved character that it was a relief to see the character's metamorphosis blythe danner was equally appealing in her role as a somewhat judgmental jewish mother devoted wife and loving sister jonathon silmerman bob dishy stacey glick and lisa walz performed their roles equally well if you enjoy movies that relate to going through challenging times without loosing your sense of humor and hope you will love this movie

this is one of the unusual cases in which a movie and the novel on which it is based are both great maybe this is because gorris' takes nabokov's initial ideas and gives them a different interpretation the final consequence is a point of view over luzhin which dignifies him more than the nabokov's one the only thing in the movie which i don't like is the influence of valentinov's on luzhin's destiny i can't imagine nabokov creating a person like valentinov and giving him so great influence on novel's argument

not to be confused with the resse witherspoon high school film of the same name this is a stylised look at hong kong's triad gangs called election because a new leader or 'chairman' is elected by ancient traditions every two years two candidates are up for the position and through ego bribes and past track record the race is tense to say the least expertly directed to introduce you to an expansive cast without ever being confusing the story twists and turns before revealing itself in all its brutal glory the asian godfather this is not but it is an enjoyable thriller in a gangster genre that will leave you on the edge of your seat and wincing at the violence subtitled volume 1 i think its safe to say there will other instalments as we go deeper into the murky world of the triads and all their feuding and underhand business deals either way this is a good start and if there are no sequels a great film in its own right

a shirley temple short subject it can get mighty rough at buttermilk pete's cafe when the local contingency of diaper clad war babies come in for their midday milk break this primitive little film a spoof of military movies provides a few chuckles but little else tiny tots talking tough can begin to pall in a short time shirley temple playing a duplicitous hip swinging french miss hasn't much to do in this pre celebrity performance highlight the real signs of toddler temper when a few of the infants unexpectedly get well & truly soaked with milk often overlooked or neglected today the one and two reel short subjects were useful to the studios as important training grounds for new or burgeoning talents both in front & behind the camera the dynamics for creating a successful short subject was completely different from that of a feature length film something akin to writing a topnotch short story rather than a novel economical to produce in terms of both budget & schedule and capable of portraying a wide range of material short subjects were the perfect complement to the studios' feature films

i liked this movie a lot it really intrigued me how deanna and alicia became friends over such a tragedy alicia was just a troubled soul and deanna was so happy just to see someone after being shot my only complaint was that in the beginning it was kind of slow and it took awhile to get to the basis of things other than that it was great

i felt obliged to watch this movie all the way through since i had found it in a bargain bin and bought it for my own but i came close many times to turning it off and just writing off the money i had paid for it if you are a fan of gore and sadism this movie is ok if there is one thing that the makers of this film know it is the creative use of fake blood and body parts for a sickening effect if that doesn't thrill you then stay away this movie is shot on a home video camera with grade school props and terrible actors it's dubbed from german but even allowing for that the sound is awful this film is about as budget as budget gets except for the aforementioned special effects if they had spent a little more money on actors and a real script instead of blood and guts the film might have been a little more enjoyable the story is about three men that land on an island inhabited by an army of tin masked sadists they are captured and the rest of the movie is about their attempt to escape i call this a story in the loosest sense since it is really a series of scenes of torture and combat strung together by inane obscenity filled dialog there is nothing whatsoever redeeming about this movie unless you like mindless gore consider yourself warned

it's pretty evident that many of your nights were spent alone if you watched 5 minutes of the actual show instead of watching the commercial you would have seen one of the greatest television shows in canadian history being made too bad you would have been watching it alone probably the reason you hate it no game keys to the vip is hilarious light and funny guys are going to eat this show up my game is tight and i can hardly wait to get on this show the chicks were hooooot and the clubs kicked ass i'll be watching every week it makes me wonder why more great shows like this one aren't being made now it's clear that the talent in canada has the ability to produce american quality television

george saunders is a forger who steals a rare copy of hamlet killing a guard in the process months later an associate of his is selling forgeries of the book for great sums of money one of the forgeries is sold to a man working for the nazi's not happy at being taken the nazi front man insists on getting his money back at the same time an investigator working for one of the other swindled clients shows up the middle woman in an effort to keep herself safe begins to play all sides against each other and sets up a meeting at the new york public library between various parties however as people begin to die the library is locked down and more murders and perhaps some rare book larceny seem to be close to happening complex murder mystery is a good little thriller with a great cast saunders is joined by richard denning and a cast of solid supporting players if there is a flaw the film is almost too complicated with plots with in plots and everyone pretty much out for themselves the layers of theft forgery murder and war time intrigue this was 1942 are almost too many for the brief 70 minute running time still its an enjoyable little film with a darkness and sense of inescapable doom for some of the characters that clearly marks this as one of the first film noirs until denning shows up we're down among some charming thieves whom we like perhaps even more than the hero but its clear from word and deed this is not going to have a completely happy ending and they know it even if they fight it a good little film that's worth searching out

this is a movie about a black man buying a airline company and turning the company into a african centric over the top airliner they even portray the owner as not only being in control of the airline but also controlling part of the air terminal at the airport one day this guy wins $100 million dollars a the next time you see him he is walking all over the airport acting like the owner of the airport everyone calls this movie a parody but nothing about this movie shouts parody! this movie is a flop and will forever be in the $4 95 bin at wal mart i can't even come to terms to why mgm would waste 16 million dollars on this movie this movie doesn't even warrant straight to video status the writers one black and one white should be blackballed from hollywood forever not only do they over stereotype blacks they portray them as ignorant human beings i would be ashamed of going to a movie that constantly humiliates me don't waste your time at the video store wal mart pay per view or on a sunday afternoon when the movie is shown on tbs

i've noticed how all the other reviews of this film mention how wholesome and entertaining it is these people need to get out of the house more often i don't know why they're shilling for this vapid insipid brainless piece of fluff pat boone has absolutely no acting talent whatsoever and his ineptness is exceeded only by that of his co star pamela austin a former model yet one more reason to outlaw the insidious practice of inflicting talentless models on an unsuspecting moveiegoing public a foul habit that unfortunately persists to this day a good supporting cast terry thomas edward everett hortyon among others tries hard to make some sense out of this but to no avail i noticed that two directors shared credit although credit isn't the word i would use neither is director as for wholesome entertainment there are plenty of those types of movies available without torturing your loved ones by forcing them to sit through this find one of those films and skip this one

this movie was an excellent acted excellent directed and overall had an excellent story ive had real life experiance with a boy like 'radio' at the football program in my town weve had a mentally challenged boy every year practice travel and have fun with the football team this movie is really true and i can identify with it 100% a boy like 'radio' just needs to feel like they belong to something they need to feel like their life is worth living thats how 'radio' feels and thats why that type of program is set up at my high school this is a very touching movie that im glad has been brought to the big screen my dad and i loved it and i will always remember this for being a movie that tells a riveting story of the goodness and kindness of man!

cheap amateurish unimaginative exploitative but don't think it'll have redeeming amusement value about as unentertaining uninstructive and just plain dull as a film can be

the cars in this movie are awesome the acting in this movie is awful the plot and driving scenes don't make much sense and are equally bad if you get really bothered by movies where someone shifts and suddenly goes ridiculously faster save yourself the trouble and money good movie for racing fans well there is a part where they make the mistake of referring to a nascar driver as a rally car driver if you can't tell the difference go watch it you'll have a blast it really comes down to this there are really really really nice cars in this movie they are driven horribly and are completely unrealistic the acting is horrible mainly because of the extremely bad plot if you want to see hot girls turn on mtv or vh1 instead i am disappointed that such nice cars would be represented in such a bad movie if the class of the cars were to match that of the movie they should be racing with rusted bicycles

who doesn't have unresolved issues with parents and which parents don't have unresolved issues with each other i know that sounds heavy but this is played for laughs in the movie making both the comedy better and the drama better i've always like paul reiser and peter falk and although i was a bit concerned that their star qualities might be too big for a small movie i was enchanted from the very first scene especially entertaining were the discoveries that the son makes about his father as a person and peter falk's monologue about being a hard working sacrificing father and husband was the perfect balancing point without that scene being acted so well the movie would have seemed far less nuanced and the character far less interesting nicely done paul and peter!

good animation nice character design and a light hearted story make suzumiya haruhi no yuutsu enjoyable to watch after my first viewing i thought that this anime was pretty good but but was much better on for a second watch this is because it is done out of chronological order and once you re watch it in correct order you notice connections you didn't see before or it may be that you see a second meaning to some events you didn't notice before you may want to read the original novels not manga by tanigawa nagaru before after seeing this the anime is very good at visualizing every detail in the stories it shows however there are some short stories from the book that are not animated but are referenced to bamboo w wishes attached shown in episode 14 overall this anime is actually very good once after brief analyzation of the plot reading the book improves upon it as well it is a nice break from the shounen jump anime that seem to be taking over

a film like crossfire puts another film that spreads around its social consciousness i e the recent film crash almost to shame not necessarily because either one puts forth its message of intolerance is rotten more significantly although i'd wager crash throws the hammer down much more thickly in comparison with this but because of how the storytelling and contrivances never get much in the way like with crash maybe it's not really necessary to compare the two as crossfire is in its core all deep into the film noir vein like its going out of style it was interesting actually to see what the director edward dmytryk said on the dvd interview where he mentioned that the budget for the photography was significantly lower on purpose so that more could be spent on the actors and the schedule went through at a very brisk quick pace but then what comes off then as being incredible about the picture is that you would think looking at many of the lighting set ups that it took a lot to do just for a small scene like when robert mitchum's keeely first goes in for questioning under the captain robert young the contrasts of shadows seamlessly in the room is exquisite that there are many other lighting set ups that go even further with so little marks this as something essential in the realm of just the look of the noir period just take a look at a shot of characters on a stairwell the bars silhouetted against them and see what i mean but back to the substance part of the film it's really a story that consists of a murder mystery but one that we as the audience don't take long to figure on the answer it's then more about something else then in the mind and soul of a killer that wouldn't be found in a common crime picture then as there are really no 'criminals' for the most part in the film there's a very calculated risk with this then that characters could be too thin just to prop up the worthwhile message against anti semitism but dmytryk's direction of his top shelf cast along with a really terrific script by john paxton fleshes out the characters least of which for what they should have to not seem too thin alongside the message and what would a noir be then without some attitude to go along with it mitchum helps that along even in scenes like between him and young where its very much based in the situation of the story's moment i e a detail in the plot by injecting a little sly wit into some of the dialog it may already be there in the lines but he helps make the character with a good edge for his scenes then there's also robert ryan who excels at montgomery as a man who you know you don't like much at first just through his b s demeanor but you're not totally sure about either then once it starts to come clearer ironically through a subjective view point of the suspect mitchell george cooper at the apartment of the soon to be deceased samuels his performance becomes a great balancing act of being full of crap and also rather frightening in his blind way it's a good performance when also countered with cooper who has actual personal issues that he faces and comes forward with regret and humility it's really after the film ends that one thinks about a lot of this however and while you're watching the film it's more about getting into the dialog and the flow of the scenes and in the sometimes stark overpowering camera moves on the actors so the message is in a way secondary not that it isn't an important one especially for the time period coming right off of ww2 but years later its seeing the actors even the ones that don't get the big marquee status like gloria grahame as ginny the femme fatale of the picture if it could've had time for one which it doesn't and william phipps as leroy the hick working off one another that sticks much strongly in the compacted screenplay dmytryk is also very wise in choosing to limit the musical score is powerful too as for very long stretches we hear nothing and mostly when it does come up it's incidental to the character's surroundings he could've just as easily gone with added musical notes on some dramatic scenes for emphasis most specifically the opening audience grabber into the film by sticking clear of that and getting the right attitudes and nuance in camera and cast it uplifts standards in genre material to a very fine memorable level my favorite scene would probably go to finley's story about an irish immigrant he tells to leroy where all such elements come into place well it might not come in very high at the top of my favorite noirs and i'd still throw down murder my sweet as the director's masterpiece in this kind of picture but it's assuredly higher in quality than something of the b level too

warning spoilers following superb recreation of the base in antarctica where the real events of the film took place other than that libelous! scandalous! filmed in canada presumably by a largely canadian crew and cast i caught the last half of this film recently on global television here in canada nothing much to say other than how thoroughly appalled i was at what a blatant piece of american historical revisionist propaganda it is and starring susan sarandon of all people! i can only assume that canadian born director roger spottiswoode was coerced to make the usaf the heroes of the film when in fact the real rescuers where a small private airline based in calgary kenn borek air

the club scenes in this film are extremely believable tim curry is in his most venal mode and there are enough drugs and violence here for two movies maybe even three what more do you require from an evening's entertainment pump up the volume

this movie makes me think the others i've seen with combs were an accident the plot had more holes than i think i've ever seen in a movie purporting to be something more than a b movie the acting was so laughable that not even the memories of combs' past campy triumphs were enough to save it considering the script i have to imagine that there was not enough money in the budget for things like continuity and original ideas i am thoroughly upset that i paid blockbuster prices for this trash the fact that it was made for television was something that would have helped me avoid this atrocity and frankly something that movies this poor should be required to warn you of avoid this movie no matter what

i saw this film purely based on the fact that it was on the dpp video nasty list and while i'm glad i saw it because it's now 'another video nasty down' on its own merits andy milligan's film really isn't worth bothering with there are of course far worse films on the infamous list but that doesn't make the pain of viewing this one any easier the film was obviously shot on an extremely low budget and that has translated into the script as blood rites works on an idea often seen in horror cinema and doesn't do anything new with it basically the plot centres on three couples who find themselves at a house awaiting the results of a will it's not long before they start getting picked off blah blah blah for most of the film nothing happens and then when we finally get down to the scenes that justify the movie being banned they're so amateurish and silly that they're impossible to take seriously on any level it's a very good thing that this movie doesn't have a very long running time as otherwise it could have been used as a particularly nasty method of torture it all boils down to a fittingly tedious ending which also succeeds in being a non event of epic proportions apparently this movie is still banned here in the uk but somehow i doubt it's because of its shock value basically blood rites isn't worth seeing and i personally can see no reason to recommend it unless of course you've made it your business to see everything on the video nasty list

15 park avenue well the name mystifies initially being an address from new york and film being set in kolkata however as the story unfolds one realize the thin line that director tries to walk between relationships social cause and of course the world of schizophrenia i would say aparna sen is one director who has so much more to say and has so less time at disposal well no doubt she has managed to make a good movie in a way she makes us realize that probably each one of us is looking for our own '15 park avenue' its an unending search within each of one of us the powerhouse performance from shabana azmi is a treat to watch her screen presence brings whole lot of life into the scene indeed it was surprising to see her in such a powerful act after long because i expected it to be all the way konkona sen's terrain shabana makes you feel skin deep of an elder sister who is running the whole show for a rather unfortunate family and during this time she almost forgets to live her own life she burdens all her ambitions and desires with ailing 18 year younger sister who is more like a daughter to her and an aging mother played by veteran waheeda rehman as for the leading actress from guide that's how i can recall her instantly there is hardly anything to say except few lines and tear drops here and there ever dependable rahul bose plays another pivotal role in the film he shows the emotions of a middle age man with repent on his face to near perfection this man really amazes me with the variety of work he has done from a musician in jhankar beats to a liberal muslim in mr & mrs iyer and so many others… he is one versatile i really wish if he had some more shots in the first part of the movie as well the cameo in the movie is by shefali shah remember satya and monsoon wedding she looks really beautiful and depicts the role of a mother of 2 kids with real ease she gives you a glimpse of today's indian woman who is modern in approach but still conventional when it comes to her husband's prior relationships the focus of camera has been meethi portrayed by konkona she and her schizophrenic world constitute the nucleus of 15 park avenue she has really worked hard for the character but there are times when she is not able to relate with the audience the fateful accident of her life tries to rope in sympathy and it has been only partially successful the movie tries to address quite a few things in one go starting from the unique world of a disabled person to the unequal status of a female even in today's modern india and also the twisted relationships in a tattered family and i believe aparna has succeeded to certain extent the helplessness of meethi while she works as a journalist in a rural eastern state really gives us all a naked picture of the country we are so proud of well after i finished 15 park avenue there was a sense of unquenched thirst within me i wanted more out of this movie to drench me emotionally it has been a commendable effort on the part of director except few hiccups must watch for all those who like to see a different cinema something with a strong purpose

i was stan in the movie dreams come true stan was the friend that worked at the factory with the main character and ended getting his arm smashed in the machinery and got carried out screaming where was the ambulance the acting in this movie was for the most part pretty poor with mostly local actors from the fox valley wisconsin i saw the movie on the big screen it played 2 nights in 3 theaters and was something special to see yourself on the big screen i may be bias but overall i enjoyed it also the soundtrack was the band spooner who later became garbage my brother steve charlton was also in the movie he played swenson the man who comes to the door on crutches to talk with the police

the movie starts good it has a thing going for it about 1 3 into the movie things go downhill carrey starts obsessing about the number 23 because he sees it everywhere so what thats no reason to go nuts and start writing stuff all over your body and on walls the acting by whoever is playing his son is bad from the get go as soon as he hears of his fathers obsession he jumps on the bandwagon and is hysterical about it totally unbelievable i hope i never see this kid in another movie again its a waste of time watching this movie grab another boring piece of well the number is killing him give me a break i won't spoil the ending for you but let's just say it is equally disappointing 3 10

lion king 1 1 2 is a very fun and addictive sequel don't expect the production values of a theatrical release but do expect the highest quality of direct to video release it is set up as timon & pumba begin watching the original lion king in a darkened theater and abruptly switch tracks and begin narrating their own story this is done with frequent comedic interruptions for example during one particular tense moment a home shopping commercial pops on and a chagrined pumba realizes he has sat on the remote these little moments pepper the movie and whether you find them entertaining or not will greatly depend on your sense of humor if you are particularly bothered by movies that deliberately remind the viewer is watching a movie than this may not be your cup of tea animation is the best they've invested in the disney dtv line and is integrated almost seamlessly with the original material the newer independent material uses a lot of the artistic style of the original the voice talents are all well performed though i couldn't help thinking of marge simpson every time i heard julie kavner many of the jokes in the movie will be well recognized by viewers as recycled over the generations but are presented more with the familiarity of comfortable quirks of old friends than annoyingly repetitive the music has made me realize how much i enjoyed and miss a good musical integrated with a disney feature the toe tapping opening feature of 'dig a tunnel' is well choreographed and hilarious timon and pumba's take on the lion king's opening sequence and their introduction to paradise are also amusing the only problem was the reprise of the 'dig a tunnel' at the end of the movie switching its lyrics and tune from defeatist to uplifting story line is pretty well done and the integration of new plot elements is done almost perfectly though the final bit during the hyena chased stretched the storyline credibility a little the new story doesn't seem to handle saccharine or emotionally charged moments to well and does better when it is resorting to full comedy overall worth purchasing if you like all the bonus features that come with a typical 2 disc set then go for it for the penny pincher who still is willing to invest on a good flick wait until it drops four or more dollars and go rent it right away damion crowley

when this was released i thought this was one of the most profane films ever made however thanks to martin scorcese and a few other filmmakers like him there have been mainline films worse language wise than this but this is a pretty brutal assault on one's ears hey i can take a lot of it but this got ridiculous in the first six minutes alone i heard a half dozen usage's of the lord's name in vain plus an untold number of f words i wonder how many people walked out of the theater watching this in 1990 i couldn't have been the only one not surprisingly some of the feature actors included jennifer jason leigh burt young jerry orbach and rikki lake since this film stephen lang seems to have improved his image at least playing the godly stonewall jackson in gods and generals lang's role here is just the opposite perhaps the worst trashy person in the film and a character who falls in love with a transvestite by the end of the film depressing gloomy semi pornographic repulsive these are just a few of the adjectives people used even some liberal critics in describing this story which is painted even worse in the novel of course some of the better known critics all extreme libs praised the movie however they were the only ones most critics were disgusted as well almost all of the paying public it's unbelievable that anyone could praise filth and garbage like this trust me on this there are no good likable characters in this entire movie this is a mean sick film one of the worst of the modern era that is unless you enjoy seeing child abuse drug abuse teen prostitutes on and on two straight hours of nothing but atrocities and just plain evil people no thanks

i'd give this film a 1 10 this film is devoid of common cinematic substance and concentrates way too much upon the current skin trend in bollywood movies i'd definitely not recommend teenagers to watch this movie what really makes me feel dejected is how could such an impressive banner like yash chopra films ever succumb to such an awful production they have perhaps forgotten to keep in view that there is a larger audience than adult audience too which when exposed to these sort of gross movies may wreck their growing mind set and succumb to things devoid of sense and recognition on the whole films must not only be entertaining but also must comprise of some sense as well certainly this film is an immense disappointment to yash chopra fans especially me myself i am really disappointed over the plot acting and everything else why can't people put in some substance that can be cherished after confronted with in the films at least for once throughout the film the point is clear i'd like to put my opinion in short horrible disappointment lot of adult material lack of sensible substance lack of normal psyche worthless could grab a cornetto or a temptations chocolate instead

i was so surprised when i saw this film so much underrated i understand why some of you dislike this movie its pace is slow a characteristic of japanese films nevertheless if you are absorbed in the film like me you will find this not a problem at all i must say this is the best comedy i have ever seen shall we dansu is often considered a masterpiece of japanese comedies it is very different from hollywood ones e g austin powers or scary movies in which a gag is guaranteed in every couple of minutes rather it is light hearted a movie that makes you feel good i love the movie because it makes me feel real the plot is straightforward yet pleasing i was so delighted seeing that sugiyama the main role has found the meaning of life in dancing before i watched the film i was slightly depressed due to heavy schoolwork i felt lost however this film made me think of the bright side of life i believed i was in the same boat of sugiyama if he could find himself in his hobby why couldn't i it reminded me of exploring my own future and discovering the happiness in my daily life it is important to note that the actors are not professional dancers while some of you may find the dancing scenes not as perfect as you expect i kinda like it as it makes me feel that the characters are really alive learning to dance as the film goes on over all this film is encouraging and heart warming as a comedy it does its job perfectly it definitely deserves 10 stars and yes aoki is funny d

i was greatly disappointed by the quality of this documentary the content is poorly produced very poor quality video and especially awful audio there's extremely little about how bruce haack produced his music and virtually no examples of direct connection to later and contemporary electronic music the interviews of people who knew bruce haack are ad hoc mostly inarticulate mumbo jumbo too much yak and not enough haack although i have a serious personal interest in electronic music and have a higher than average attention span even for slow and or difficult subject matter i fell asleep while watching this documentary and had to review it to see the parts i slept through if you watch this make sure that you are set up before viewing like alex in a clockwork orange bruce haack deserves much better than this shame on the producer and director

i've tried to reconcile why so many bad reviews of this film while the vast majority of reviews are given a rating of between 7 and 10 the reason may be this film is kind of hard to describe in a positive review although a few have done that quite nicely already this film is confusing depressing and doesn't have a happy ending i still gave pola x a rating of 10 because it is basically for me literature and art combined on film that is really my favorite kind of filmmaking i've only seen two of carax's films this one and mauvis sang as with this film i'm being somewhat pretentious when i call this one of carax's best films but i am carax has a minimalist style if that type of film does not appeal to you and is boring then it would be best not to watch this but pola x was less minimalist than mauvis sang so it had quite a lot of intensity for a thriller at least for my taste i found it quite interesting and absorbing the two lead roles did an excellent job acting i mean the lead and the young woman he thought was his half sister catherine d is always great but her role was not very large or significant in the story but everyone did a fine job i thought the cult stuff was great it may have not been very believable but that is due to its being rather abstract there is a lot going on between the lines in this film this is a very freudian psycho thriller

warning spoiler spoiler spoiler!!!! this is written for filmgoers who may have walked away from mood for love perplexed and confused about paths the main characters choose in life from reading other comments and reviews it seems that many viewers and critics missed some very important details which may have prevented them from enjoying this delightful tease of a movie we are so use to seeing blatant sex in narrations that we forget that there was a time when filmakers would suggest the dirty deed by simply showing the slack mouthed couples ride off in a sleigh or haywagon only to return into the next scene with a bulging gut or a fat toddler stuck to the hip meet your child the director chose the same nostalgic approach in telling the story of mr chow and mrs chan last warning spoiler spoiler spoiler mr chow fools mrs chan into showing her real emotions when they rehearse his departure forever next scene mrs chan leans her head on mr chow in the taxi and says i do not want to go home tonight translation let's do it why then did the couple just not do the modern thing of dumping their cheating spouses get a divorce raise their love child and live happily ever after the answer is that this whole story takes place in hong kong during the sixties a bastard would live in a bleak life of shame if he were the child of an adulteress whereas a legitimate child could live a tragic but noble honest life if his mother chose to raise him away from his cheating father the invisible mr chan in short mr chow and mrs chan sacrifices their relationship for the future of their child that is why mr chow upon learning that mrs chan lives alone with a little boy gives a knowing smile and ends his dreams of making mrs chan his mrs chow he then also realizes why mrs chan went to all the way to singapore to be with him only to reconsiders at the last momment and leave choosing to never see him again but not before taking some unnamed keepsake mr chow lives with this wonderful secret with no one to tell no one except for a crumbling temple wall and of course we the viewer but only if we listen carefuly

this is a great film with an amazing cast crispen glover is at his freakiest his guitar solo is amazing also watch out for a cameo by william burroughs truly a cult classic this is on my top ten list don't miss this twisted film

maya is a woman without any interests she just dreams her life away and wonders why she does not feel fulfilled this could be an interesting topic that would need a good story a nice setting and good dialogues it doesn't have any of these this movie is totally boring there are only lengths and no climaxes the only climax is shahrukh khan but although i am a huge fan of his i couldn't stand this movie even he can't make this movie exiting the movie is not as bad as king uncle and if you're an art house fan or like it slow you might maybe like it it's not funny it's not interesting it's not catching my recommendation don't watch it
