this is a bad movie not one of the funny bad ones either this is a lousy bad one it was actually painful to watch the direction was awful with lots of jumping around and the green and yellow hues used throughout the movie makes the characters look sickly keira knightly was not convincing as a tough chick at all and i cannot believe lucy liu and mickey rourke signed on for this criminal waste of celluloid the script was terrible and the acting was like fingernails across a chalkboard if you haven't seen it don't you are not missing anything and will only waste two hours of your life watching this drivel i have seen bad movies before and even enjoyed them due to their faults this one is just a waste of time

this is an excellent movie and i wish that they would put it out on dvd for people to purchase it is difficult to try to catch it on tv all the time as you do not know when one of the stations will decide to air it can someone tell me what file company make it so i can write to them and see if they will release it to the public i only caught the last hour and a half yesterday and i only got to see it once last year my sisters and i are all looking for it in every store that sells any videos john denver is an excellent singer and actor and the plot line is great they put out some much older movies and i think that is great but there are quite a few that they have not put out and i think if we could contact the producers and voice our requests we might get some of them put out on dvd

this movie is simply not worth the time or money spent full of clichés and a plot that makes absolutely no sense ! i cant believe that so many people have given this awful movie a 10 my guess is they are stooges of the movie maker if i could give this movie a zero i would too bad imdb doesn't allow that the only reason i watched it because i went with a friend who really wanted to see it whats sad is that i never had great expectations from this movie to begin with and yet i felt short changed take my word don't waste your $8 on this piece of trash the only entertainment i got out of the movie was making fun of the directors name in all highly not recommended !

putting aside the i'm so sure s and totally gnarly s this is one of the sweetest and lifelike romances portrayed on film deborah foreman where is she now as julie and nicolas cage as randy are as classic as romeo and juliet tony and maria jake and samantha you can't help but fall in love with them plus the soundtrack the plimsouls sparks the furs the flirts and of course modern english is also outstanding for fans of films about young love i'd equally recommend the recent film all the real girls by david gordon green

it started out with an interesting premise i always like civil war stuff and ancient secret societies the more the film progressed the more i realized that this was a b movie at best in the latter half it quickly became a c movie then d then f then i wish that this wasn't a rental so that i could put it in the microwave! i can't say that the acting in all cases was awful just most the writing however i never read the book maybe the book is well written the screenplay was written by a 10 year old it was ridiculously shallow the dialog drab and uninteresting the characters about as interesting as a 5 pound bag of fertilizer i really hated this movie as did my wife i am a christian and i have no problem with movies that promote or support christianity this movie did a great disservice to the cause awful terrible worthless if you liked it i strongly recommend superman 4

a film that is so much a 30's warners film in an era when each studio had a particular look and style to their output unlike today where simply getting audiences is the object curitz was one of the quintessential warners house directors working with tight economy and great efficiency whilst creating quality working methods that were very much the requirements of a director at warners a studio that was one of the big five majors in this era producing quality films for their large chains of theatres even though we have a setting of the upper classes on long island there is the generic warners style embedded here with a narrative that could have been torn from the headlines another example is the when the photographers comment on the girls legs early in the film and she comments that they're not the trophies gives the film a more working mans down to earth feel for these were the audiences that warners were targeting in the great depression ironically columbia and universal were the two minors under these five majors until the 50's when their involvement in television changed their fortunes they would have made something like this very cheaply and without the polish and great talent curtiz has created from an excellent script a film that moves along at a rapid pace whilst keeping the viewer with great camera angles and swift editing thank heavens there is no soppy love interest sub plot so the fun can just keep rolling along

i got this dvd well over 2 years ago and only decided to watch it yesterday i don't know why it took me so long as i do like the inspector gadget show and even the new gadget and the gadgetinis while it may have a bright color pallet and all the technical sophistication of a modern animated movie there are some old things missing that bog this gadget right down the toilet first of all the classic inspector gadget theme song and music is completely absent the composer tries to compromise by doing a score that sounds similar but it's still just no good enough the gadget mobile is now a talking car not a car that can turn into a van plus it looks a lot cuter and rounder instead of being plain cool penny no longer has her computer book and she and brain hardly make an appearance at all the plot is non existent there's something about a transformation formula and doctor claw using for some never revealed evil but that's all i got what the deal was with the short giant italian guy i will never know it had nothing to do with anything and if the title is anything to go by his last case is wrapped up in no way whatsoever and he stays on the force so why it's called 'last case' is a mystery also i wasn't impressed at all this is an affront to a great animated show that is strangely absent on dvd but don't let that prompt you into buying whatever inspector gadget dvds you can i sold this mere seconds after finally watching it no kid will like or appreciate this and no fan of the old show with tolerate it

this episode of buffy was one of my personal favorites also number three of joss' personal favorites as well the episode featured very little dialogue and despite that the good folks at the emmy's decided it merited a nomination unfortunately it didn't win when hush first premiered it received about 6 million viewers which was the highest rated episode of season four that should tell you something even though there was very little talking it managed to intrigue people enough to tune in those gentlemen characters who were played my mimes were some of the scariest creatures the show has produced or any network tv show i've seen nothing is creepier then a bunch of silver teethed men coming at you with a scalpel while smiling away i think that despite the lack of dialogue the actors did a fantastic job on the episode

bulletproof is quite clearly a disposable film the kind where bullet riddled good guys and bad guys are splatted everywhere so much so that you really aren't supposed to see them as human the yawns between the lines from wayans and sandler are extensive indeed they try hard but alas and alack persona itself does not a good film make jimmy caan plays a nifty villain but he's always had that redneck edge at the ready my favorite's scene is the repeated clips of a tv ad in which caan reveals the virtues of america can be shown to the world by having 2 cars in every garage aside from that it's a buddy movie with guns for brains pass on this one

i think this movie was made as good as it could have been with only 4 months and a 52000$ budget i'm surprised this wasn't worse if you are not to care about the cg or special effects this movie is great okay the movie is not that well made i'm sure it could have been but you try to do better in only 4 months but the story is good and the movie is rather exciting don't trust me when i say that this movie is good cause i also find the 1933 king kong to be good i must confess that i didn't watch the complete movie either i might have fast forwarded some minutes here and there

i gave this 4 stars because it has a lot of interesting themes many here have already mentioned from the domestic violence to sexuality and many of the taboos therein outside of the gore i really would not call this horror so much as i would science fiction it's bleak depressing and hopeless while i don't mind a less than cheery ending i'm really very tired of the humans suck cliché that's central to every movie i know you can't get a liberal arts degree today without bowing to the alter of self hatred as a member of the human race but how's 'bout as a writer director we pretend we are different than everyone else in the pack and notice that the aliens killing the human race are evil! right now if you are reading this and believe that humanity deserves to die just go out find a lake and swim 'til your arms are tired this way you won't be around to direct the next film or write the next book telling me i deserve to die for being alive it's silly not thoughtful and boring

one of my all time favourite films ever just beautiful full of human emotion wit humour intelligence the story grows as does the lesson of life just a wonderful film in so many ways the cast are also fantasic a great selection of the finest british talent around i loved them all for every diverse element brought into the film italy has to be one of the most romantic places to form a story such as this everything about this film works i love it

this is a really mediocre film in the vein of buckaroo banzai the cast runs around like mad max wannabes and they seem to be sharing a joke that they do not want to share with the audience wheeler nicholson is one of the those guilty pleasure actresses you are delighted to stumble across in films but she isn't worth the price of rental space maggot starts an electrical fire and burns a vote of 4

being a high school student i have to take a health class this year the topic is drugs we learn about the harm they can cause a person from what we talk about i still believe and know that drugs can really mess a person up anyway my teacher wanted us to watch this naturally we groan and start to sleep but like the rest of my class i actually did enjoy this movie it was totally real and not sugar coated at all the characters were amazing and believable even the plot was outstandingly realistic and believable what i liked about this movie mainly was how it got the point of the effect's drugs can take on an abuser and the consequences the person has to deal with everyone reassures themselves that nothing bad will happen to them well lets get serious anything can happen in a small town even to your best friend like sam and chris this movie shows it a person can really learn a lot from watching this it was pretty effective

this movie is good for entertainment purposes but it is not historically reliable if you are looking for a movie and thinking to yourself `oh i want to learn more about custer's life and his last stand' do not rent `they died with their boots on' but if you would like to watch a movie for the enjoyment of an older western film with a little bit of romance and just for a good story this is a fun movie to watch the story starts out with custer's errol flynn first day at west point everyone loves his charming personality which allows him to get away with most everything the movie follows his career from west point and his many battles including his battle in the civil war the movie ends with his last stand at little big horn in between the battle scenes he finds love and marriage with libby olivia de havilland errol flynn portrays the arrogant but suave george armstrong custer well olivia de havilland plays the cute sweet libby very well especially in the flirting scene that custer and libby first meet their chemistry on screen made you believe in their romance the acting in general was impressive especially the comedic role although stereotypical of callie played by hattie mcdaniel her character will definitely make you laugh the heroic war music brought out the excitement of the battle scenes the beautiful costumes set the tone of the era the script at times was corny although the movie was still enjoyable to watch the director's portrayal of custer was as a hero and history shows this is debatable some will watch this movie and see custer as a hero others will watch this movie and learn hate him i give it a thumbs up for this 1942 western film

this movie has made me upset! when i think of cat in the hat im thinking of cat in the hat books you know the one from a few years back that parents read to thier children well i though that this movie would be a lot like that! but much to my suprise was nothing like the books! insted it is more like young adult humor movie in one part cat is talking to a gardening tool hoe cat talks to it like it is his hoe agin adult humor the naming of his car i all so though was a little untastful for a kids movie under the rating you'll find mild cude humor and some double entendres i think in short this means adult humor i wish i could return this movie! wal mart said they wouldn't because the movie has been opened if you are thinking about buying this i suggest that maybe rent before you buy

mickey rourke hunts diane lane in elmore leonard's killshot it is not like mickey rourke ever really disappeared he has had a steady string of appearances before he burst back on the scene he was memorable in domino sin city man on fire once upon a time in mexico and get carter but in his powerful dramatic performance in the wrestler 2008 we see a full blown presentation of the character only hinted at in get carter whenever we get to know him rourke remains a cool but sleazy muscle bound slim ball this is an elmore leonard story and production leonard wrote such notable movies as taunt western thriller 3 10 to yuma be cool jackie brown get shorty 52 pick up and joe kidd this means that we get tough guys some good some not so good it also means we get tight realistic plots with characters doing what is best for them in each situation weaving complications into violent conclusions killshot is no different tough slim ball killer rourke stalks unhappily married witness lane think history of violence meets no country for old men it is not as intense bloody or gory as those two but it is almost as good if you like those two including david croneberg's equally wonderful eastern promises you will like killshot also director john madden has not done a lot of movies his last few were enjoyable if not successful proof captain corelli's mandolin and shakespeare in love diana lane hasn't had a powerful movie role since she and richard gere gave incredible performances in unfaithful lately she is charming and appealing in romantic stories such as nights in rodanthe must love dogs and under the tuscan sun here she is right on mark balancing her sexy appeal with reserved tension this is a small part for rosario dawson yet dawson does a good job with it you see a lot more of lane including an underwear scene to rival sigourney weaver in aliens and nicole kidman in eyes wide shut while you are in the crime drama section also pick up kiss kiss bang bang and gone baby gone and before the devil knows your dead the last has wonderful performances by phillip seymour hoffman ethan hawke marisa tomei and albert finney killshot flopped at the box office more is our luck it is certainly worth a 3 4 dollar rental if you like this genre 6 20 2009

müllers büro is a movie which many will watch and enjoy until the end while others will stop watching it within five minutes it is a parody of detective movies with all the twists and turns the action takes place only at night in the dark corners of a city which resembles batman's gotham city look carefully at the streets buildings the police car chasing the criminals etc it is also a parody of musicals with its really funny characters such as müller's secretary and vitasek's the actor playing müller's assistant lover who do their best to sing albeit not very successfully the spaces occupied by the characters have their own presence in the film such as the decadent blue box there is a real club with this name in vienna where one can see a sailor hitting on a girl in the background müller's apartment with the black paint smeared on the walls and the dirty kitchen müller's bureau with the sweet picture of his assistant etc the humorous moments in the movie are many and include flat in the face type of humor such as müller farting in his assistant's face the prostitute charging müller extra for orgasm the ridiculous outfits of the female thugs of montana etc a legendary film from the 80's especially for those interested in austrian or german speaking cinema

peter sollett has created an endearing portrait about real people living in poverty in the lower east side of new york or loisaida as it's known by the locals mr sollett's heart is in the right place as he examines this dysfunctional family that is typical of the different 'inner cities' of the country mr sollett accentuates the positive in the story he presents these are basically good kids the children of parents that have left them and whose grandmother has taken under her wing instead of presenting his characters as losers mr sollett shows a positive side they all have these kids are not into drugs or are stealing because they are poor had this story been done by hollywood we would have seen a parade of stereotypes instead of children that are struggling but deep down inside they are not defeated victor rasuk as victor vargas was a revelation he is a natural so is july marte her character shows us a no nonsense girl who will not be fooled or driven to do anything she doesn't want to do altagracia guzman as the grandmother is excellent she conveys her frustration at not being able to steer her grandchildren into the things she believes in and that are so important to her all in all this was an excellent picture thanks to peter sollett

the long list of big names in this flick including the ubiquitous john mills didn't bowl me over to the extent that i couldn't judge the film on its actual merits it is full of stereotypes caricatures and standard set scenes from the humble air ace hero to the loud mouthed yank flyer the music track was such that at one point about an hour before the end i thought the film was over loud rising crescendo grand flourish and finish then silence but then the movie continued! i found no real storyline haphazard writing but smartly pressed uniforms and the pretty jean simmons pre nose job with a rousing little ditty i cannot say that this picture has any of the ingredients which make a film great i found it maudlin mawkish and minor

i love the jurassic park movies they are three of my all time favorite movies and i hate this game if there was one game i wish i never own for the super nintendo was this one how can a game based on a classic movie be just too awful and to make it worst i was scare of this game when i was a kid how dumb was that but then again i was a kid when this game was first out the game play in this game is just odd one minute it's a action game and then it's a shooter what in the world is wrong with making up your mind when making a video game the sound in the game is just terrible to listen the music is just too sick to listen to the controllers in the game don't work most of the time jurassic park the game is just a waste of time and money and won't be a classic avoid at all cost

utterly useless having been there done that with the subject matter i have to say this captures the clubbing atmosphere in absolutely no respect it may have done so had the characters not just been mouthpieces for incredibly dire unrealistic drivel so many cringe worthy scenes that would put the office to shame not a compliment to this film it also may have helped to have some semblance of a story a point a message a commentary anything seriously kevin & perry go large had more to say on the subject than this film term used very loosely in this case there should be minus numbers reserved for films like this 10 extra turd

wild rebels is fun in a bad way but also frustrating due to the actual good or at least workable elements in the story it deals with a race car driver steve alaimo who gets mixed up in a group of bikers called satan's angels who hang around a lot until they decide to rob a bank meanwhile alaimo also gets recruited by the cops to report back to them what the angels are up to and where they'll rob next it's not even that the film is really too 'dated' though it does of course carry the significantly crude and stupid music in the film from the band on stage in one scene to alaimo performing if you could call that drek that to the regular generic score it's just that there's not more care taken by the filmmaker into putting a little more logic direction and better actors for the parts as it is i didn't have a major disliking towards the film as i did with the hellcats but it almost left me a little indifferent to it all too what could come through as being unpredictable only comes through with stupid things like the name of the florida town 'citrusville' ho ho so it's not completely un worthy then of its mystery science theater 3000 status as of late the commentary is good on the movie even if once or twice i almost wanted to hear what the characters on screen were saying in case it might have some worth wild rebels might be more of a good time if you've got a six pack and low expectations but as it is i wouldn't watch it again

i`ve seen this movie twice both times on cinemax the first time in it`s unrated version which is soft core porn at it`s best and the second time in a trimmed down cut all the sex and most of the nudity out version which was entertaining in a typical beach movie sort of way the unrated version has a tremendous sex scene with nikki fritz a dude and a bottle of oil which is out of this world no pun intended unfortunately in the trimmed version that scene is almost completely chopped out as are all the other sex scenes rated or unrated it is still fun to watch all the siblings of bigger stars stallone sheen travolta etc trying to act we also get appearances by b queen linnea quigley and burt ward robin from the old batman series

if this is someone's favorite movie they need some serious help there is nothing funny or clever about this crapfest i haven't seen the original movie this is the remake of some 1950s film but it simply has to be better than this newer bastardization a major gets kicked out of the military for being a fringe element and winds up teaching children at an rotc school unfortunately the major is daman wayans so the children are in for a world of annoying humorless asininity can wayans whip these losers into shape can they get him to become a little more human the film bombs as most wayans films do with only a few sparkling moments william hickey gets about one minute of screen time fair too little this charming old man known best to me as a tales from the crypt actor known best to you as uncle louis from christmas vacation shines every moment he's on screen which isn't much here bam bam bigelow also makes an appearance as a biker which fits him perfectly i wouldn't mind slightly more bam bam but i think he carried the role of biker about as far as it could be carried for a military film and then there's the attractive teacher who someone falls for major payne even though he treats the kids poorly has no social skills and is simply impossible to convert into someone you would want to spend time with she must either be incredibly stupid or incredibly desperate i'm not sure which though it would seem stupid since the movie makes it clear she gets out of the house often enough wayans had one shining moment a dance sequence where he performs a series of moves including a very nice robot and with the help of music from 2 live crew this scene was enjoyable but hardly made up for anything else that made this film dog spittle seriously avoid this film if you want to see a film a bout a loser who helps loser kids become heroes rent or buy ernest goes to camp at least he's a lovable loser and actually funny maybe if major payne had fought a badger i'd feel better but he didn't forget payne forget wayans you can do so much better

i concur with the other users comment hard to believe that this movie actually came out in 1994 because it screams mid 80's i think it is dubbed because the sound and the picture don't always match up if anyone can truly say this is a good movie they need to be locked up it is so sad how money has so much power over people that they will do anything to get it i feel i lost intelligence from watching this i used to have a little respect for chuck norris before i watched this but now i just feel bad i bought this as part of a 3 movie pack for $9 99 and i can honestly say i would have been better off literally throwing the money away forgive me jesus

i have just recently purchased collection one of this awesome series and even after just watching three episodes i still am mesmerized by sleek styling of the animation and the slow yet thoughtful actions of the story telling i am still a fan with some minor pains though this installment into the gundam saga is very cool and has what the previous series had a stylish satiric way of telling about the wrongs of war and not letting go of the need to have control or power over everything sound familiar i have to say that this one gets a bit too mellow dramatic on continuing to explain the lives of the main characters and their incessant need to belly ache about every thing that happens and what they need to do to stop the oz group from succeeding in their plans especially the character called wufei i mean he whines more than an american character on a soap opera get a counselor will ya besides for the over exaggerated drama i think that mostly comes from the dubbing of the english voice actors this series is still very exciting and will still captivate me once again i mean it can always be worse it could be like the recent installment seed eeeewwww talk about mellow dramatic i'll chat about that one later

i've seen my share of woody allen's movies and while they're not always great you can usually be sure you're going to be entertained probably the last really good ones were bullets over broadway '94 and mighty aphrodite '95 since then the ones i've seen have been patchy but watchable and so when i was invited to see the new woody allen movie melinda and melinda which i wasn't even aware had been released yet i went along happily i hadn't really heard much about it so i hoped i would be pleasantly surprised what i got was definitely the worst woody allen movie i've seen the premise is over explained the cast is terrible the script is slow and lifeless too many scenes said nothing and yet were stretched out i assume to fill out what would have otherwise become a 15 minute short film i don't mind the concept behind this film two directors discuss how a simple situation could be interpreted as a comedy or a tragedy and obviously the film proceeds to show us that by playing out both scenarios the problem is neither of these 'two films' are any good at all the comedy isn't funny and the tragedy isn't very tragic it seems like allen came up with a good idea but then ran out of steam or time to actually complete the film the general level of acting is notably bad also will ferrell is the only one who brings anything to the table and it's basically a woody allen impression previously good actors like chloe sevigny just come off as annoying and the worst of the bunch is radha mitchell as melinda which is a shame because her character is in nearly every scene! to be fair to the actors the script they are working with is lacking if not non existent definitely a long way from the allen we know and love from classics like manhattan or annie hall

although the premise of the movie involves a major coincidence the actors all do a creditable job and look great bringing the story to life i found myself rooting for the characters played by mary tyler moore and christine lahti empathizing with both and wanting them to reconcile sam waterston and ted danson are fine in their roles as well doing a decent job with the stereotypical buddy relationship while the story tends to leap through time occasionally leaving the audience perhaps a little hungry for missing detail it still flows and avoids any real confusion this interesting storyline has all the elements for a good chick flick

i saw this movie and the play and i have to add that this was the most touching story that i had ever seen until i saw this movie i was unaware of how awful life was and probably still is for the south african children and adults that were and are living in that era it brought tears to my eyes and much sadness to my heart that any human being should have to struggle like that just to stay alive and to bring the children right out of that area and teach them to act and preform and turn them loose to tell their own story is simply amazing this simply surpass a five star i rate it a ten thank you mr mbongeni ngema for such a astonishing story although it has been 12 years since this story has been told it is still one that lays heavy in my heart if there is a vhs or dvd out there on the play please notify me asap thank you ps there was nothing wrong with the kids wanting to bring awareness of their problems and conditions to the attention of other countries in hopes that some one would have a heart and offer assistance

and nothing wrong in that! heartily endorse the comments of boblipton and snow leopard i'm thrilled to find this movie is available on us dvd i've only ever seen it through once i persuaded the goethe institute here in london to show it in their conrad veidt season some years ago and long to see it again barrymore is resplendent when engaged as in this movie possibly because of the prick of having a renowned german actor as a foil and veidt is such a wonderful scene stealer doesn't he pick his nose at one point this is one of the seminal films to connect 'dr jekyll' with '20th century' 'grand hotel' or 'midnight' and 'the cabinet of dr caligari' or 'the student of prague' with 'the spy in bladk' 'contraband' and 'casablanca' see it!

i've seen this amusing little 'brit flick'many times the only problem is its currently unavailable on video or dvd i'ts certainly a contender for a dvd release the much missed richard jordan plays 'pinky' an ex pat american whose just been released from prison he finds himself a job as an electrician in a bank it all goes well until he finds himself embroiled in a bank heist with his ex cronies david niven plays the mastermind ivan its an enjoyable little romp hopefully studio canal or anchor bay will come to the rescue look out for john rhys davies before he struck it big with 'shogun' raiders of the lost ark 'lord of the rings' in a small role as a barrister

i'm not sure this film could ever match the first one even if it starred the original seven notwithstanding the fact that four were killed it just doesn't have the spark and chemistry all the actors seem tired and look as if they are just going through the motions to get their paychecks it's interesting how yul brynner is magnificent in the original film but stiff and unconvincing in this sequel yet when he stars in westworld and futureworld in the 1970s his character in the same matching black pants shirt and hat evokes the same mystery and presence of the 1960 film's chris adams there's nothing in this 1966 flick to make it worth watching even on cable

beautiful film pure cassavetes style gena rowland gives a stunning performance of a declining actress dealing with success aging loneliness and alcoholism she tries to escape her own subconscious ghosts embodied by the death spectre of a young girl acceptance of oneself of human condition though its overall difficulties is the real purpose of the film the parallel between the theatrical sequences and the film itself are puzzling it's like if the stage became a way out for the heroin if all american movies could only be that top quality dealing with human relations on an adult level not trying to infantilize and standardize feelings one of the best dramas ever 10 10

the 20th animated disney classic is often criticized by many people as mediocre or poor in quality but it is a great movie too bad that the aristocats doesn't get the deserved credit i personally see it as one of my favorite disney classics despite being extremely underrated it is one of the funniest disney classics it is full of hilarious some of them hysterical moments edgar the greedy butler is the villain of the movie but he is a perfect comic relief he's one of my favorite disney villains because he is so funny every scene with edgar and the hound dogs napoleon and lafayette chasing him are among the most hilarious you'll ever see especially the one when edgar drives his motorcycle into the river and around the bridge with the dogs chasing him that is hysterical! but the classic humor doesn't just come from edgar or the hound dogs other characters have their moments as well about the quality subject it isn't perfect but remains on a high level even after walt disney's death those artists knew how to keep faithful to walt's spirit and the aristocats is one of those examples they don't make them like this nowadays! as usual legendary disney actors voice the characters in this case we have phil harris sterling holloway paul winchell eva gabor and pat buttram the characters are cool in general thomas o'malley duchess and her 3 kittens the mouse roquefort the alley cats the english geese the hound dogs and the horse the human characters are included as well the eccentric and kind retired opera singer madame adelaide bonfamille the comic madame's old lawyer georges hautecourt and edgar himself! about the soundtrack it has some nice and catchy songs such as thomas o'malley's theme but i can't remember its name everybody wants to be a cat and the aristocats sung by maurice chevalier for example this movie takes place in paris france in the year of 1910 above all this is a joyful nice and very pleasant movie a timeless classic which is often underestimated and forgotten but very worthy this should definitely be on top 250

i'm not going to say that this movie is horrible because i have seen worse but it's not even halfway decent the plot is very confusing i couldn't really figure out what was happening and where things were going when the movie was over i was left scratching my head i watched through to the end of the credits to see if they had something after them that may clear things up but once the credits were over that was it i felt like i was jarred from one weak plot point to another throughout the whole movie with little or no transition between the two character development is very shallow i couldn't figure out when somebody was angry or had a grudge against someone i couldn't tell if half of the characters were just supposed to be drunk stoned mentally challenged or they just had a bad actor to portray them this film seems to be based around stereotypes to it's credit they are hard to avoid using when you are making a film about a singer in a rock band which should make character development easier since so many other films have already illustrated the suffering of an abused child or the trials of a heroin addict trying to come clean stereotypes are easy to depict which would explain why so many bad films tend to overuse stereotypical characters this film on the other hand uses stereotypical characters left and right but then tries to keep them as incomprehensible as possible another problem with the characters is that they seemed to be dismissed with no explanation i guess that's ok because so little time was spent developing the characters that i really didn't get a chance to know any of them so i never really missed any of them and last but not least was sadie's singing it's awful the music backing her up is not prize winner but it is usually drowned out by the screeches that are released from sadie's vocal cords i swear that there's one point in the movie where she sings a song for at least 10 minutes i seriously thought i was going to have to turn it off during this howl a thon as a whole this movie is confusing characters are ill developed georgia's acting is wooden and stiff sadie's character is yanked from one bad situation to another with no back story or explanation the music was unbearable and i can think of no good reasons to see this film unless you have a thirst for cinematic pain

appalling shallow materialistic nonsense how women and gay men can enjoy this rubbish is beyond me no self respecting man would ever want to be with one of these neurotic gold diggers what is even more concerning is that so many reviewers say they relate to the women on the show if that is the future of women lord help us all showing your independence and being respected as equals with men should not be about spreading your legs every three seconds with a different man i think this demeans women and does not do them justice but this review is no rant against women fans of this show say it is hilarious and rivoting but every time i have watched this show i have just struggled to stay awake despite the narrative of the reporter woman at no point in this show is there even anything close to something that could be considered a rational thought so it's not entertaining and it's not informative so why would you bother watching it one out of ten stars

a throwback to the old fashioned westerns of the 30s and 40s such as dodge city dallas has a number of things going for it gary cooper at his coolest blazing technicolor photography by ernest haller gone with the wind and a pulse pounding max steiner king kong gwtw dodge city et al score in addition there is a masquerade mistaken identity a faked death and more hair breath escapes than a republic serial as always cooper defines what it is to be a man under pressure forget the 50s angst western this is pure entertainment!

we sat through this movie thinking why is this or that scene in the movie what does this have to do with the plot we hoped that by the end everything would be slightly more clear it was not to be i think the director in a fit of pique threw the script up in the air and then some minor and vengeful underling reassembled it randomly with no regard to the scene being filmed possibly with scissors and glue stick the film's motifs include communism bad nihilism bad poor parenting bad threesomes bad tv bad coherent scripting bad deconstructionism good it's really not clear finally no german water taxi would ever have an unchained staircase that would let passengers fall in to the water the abundant quantity of achtung signs everywhere is testament to this fact

on the back burner for years so it was reported this television reunion of two of the most beloved characters in sitcom history started off badly and went straight downhill from there mary richards mary tyler moore and her best friend rhoda morgenstern valerie harper meet in new york after a long estrangement and catch up on each other's lives what a novel concept! but sad to relate nothing worth talking about let alone making a movie about has happened to either of them in the intervening years so instead the script contents itself with throwing out one hoary old plot device after another most having to do with older women in the workplace while completely missing the quirky charm and sophistication that made the original show a winner the supporting cast is instantly forgettable the humor is nonexistent and the chemistry which moore and harper once had together is gone moore allegedly stalled this project for years waiting for just the right script before committing herself if this was the one she considered right what on earth were the ones she turned down like it's not the age of the characters that does this in for time inevitably marches on but the almost complete lack of imagination coupled with a blatant disregard for the elements that made the series work at one time this was intended as a pilot but all to obviously it failed to generate any interest among potential sponsors or for that matter among potential audiences quickly and mercifully forgotten the film is a travesty and an insult to a classic

**could be considered some mild spoilers but no more than in anyone else's review of this film ** i knew that nothing could conceivably live up to the absolute brilliance of the original carrie which was more of a film about social criticism than it was about setting the gym on fire carrie white was victim epitomized and her story conveyed the helplessness that the truly exploited must feel whoever conceived the rachel character for the rage must have completely missed the subtleties of carrie for the audience to genuinely share the victim's rage s he must be a sympathetic character a true outcast who is more a victim of circumstance than of his her own vices rachel is entirely too unpleasant to convey any sort of the emotional depth and connection of sissy spacek's carrie and she looks and acts like she should be right along side the 'attractive and popular brigade' that she ends up torching she like the rest of them has a soul that is every bit as corrupt whereas carrie was a complete innocent it just doesn't work there's no satisfaction in seeing the pretty children not even the home improvement boy getting offed in this movie's climactic scene and it's so unnecessarily gory! there was no actual bloodshed seen in the burning gym! and there is one person in particular that this movie should not have had the audacity to kill off but i won't say who it is if you've seen the original carrie it's the sort of character who dies unjustly at least they did create the connection to carrie appropriately it's explained as it should have been but that and the arm tattoo which was done rather nicely is just about the only thing this movie has going for it yet another hideous scream knock off and it taints the reputation of one of the most compelling films ever made rating 1 out of 10 i wasn't expecting much but i was still horribly disappointed an unsympathetic character a series of irritating pop culture references thrown in for no good reason and an ending scene that pales in comparison to carrie 's gravestone shocker

better than average world war ii era who dun it featuring warner baxter as a former gangster who suffered amnesia and has been reborn as a psychiatrist now known as robert ordway who helps both the police and criminals who want to go straight crime doctor's courage is the fourth in the series of ten and also involves a victim who might have some mental problems the link to courage is not particularly clear this entry revolves around the death of fortune hunter gordon carson whose two previous wives have under mysterious circumstances and who in turn dies in a locked room under conditions that resemble suicide but dr ordway labels murder hillary brooke plays the part of widow kathleen carson who is involved with anthony caruso a mysterious spanish dancer whose act includes his sister that disappears on stage as a mystery novelist jerome cowan is a good supporting actor as is lloyd corrigan as an aficionado in crime spooky houses with creaking doors caskets in the cellar and suspects that are never seen in daylight add to the air of suspense the set for the dance sequence is quite elaborate and the ballet music very good direction production design and photography stand out the exterior shots and costumes suggest more affluence rather than normally found in the average b detective thriller strongly recommended

i had high hopes for this movie the theater monologue is great and nic balthazar is a very interesting man with a lot of experience and knowledge when it comes to movies i am a fan of a lot of belgian movies but this movie is bad it's completely unbelievable that actors who are 34 are suddenly playing the roles of teenagers the linguistic games were hideous and over the top nothing about the film seemed real to me the ending was way too deus ex machina for me i am very disappointed and think i wasted an hour and a half of my life

i am not a big fan of rajnikant in the first place but baba was a huge disappointment in between an awful storyline the action and songs were only mediocre the storyline becomes very preachy instead of running for office like ntr or mgr rajni almost appeared to be running as tamil nadu's next big guru my wife tells me that since this film came out rajni swore off doing any more movies! we were lucky initially to have bought babu an oldie by sivajiganeshan online by accident when trying to buy this one that was a great film which made up for having bought this dud except it makes baba look even worse by comparison! bryan

truly a disgusting vile film with only a small amount of real humour the character of the father in particular is vulgar in the extreme intentionally so obviously and portrayed in the most pathetic seedy manner my wife and i found this film horribly upsetting with absolutely no redeeming features at all frankly i wish i had never seen it i consider this british effort to be a sick and gross embarrassment those who enjoyed this film have an ability i totally lack that of rejoicing in a display of deep depravity and squalor the producers should be ashamed of themselves

obabakoak is a bunch of short stories with an only common point the little vasque town of obaba in this film the director tries to explain some of these stories by using a young reporter as a continuum the result is a strange film as it has any main character the movie spends about 20 min to each tale other than the town of obaba any story is really well explained and the fact is that they result very boring it was by far the best film of the year in spain but well that's not saying too much the only good thing of the film is the precious scenarios it is filmed in a very precious valley and it is more enjoyable to spend the time watching the scenario rather than being aware of the story

the entire civilized world by now knows that this is where emil sitka says his immortal hold hands you lovebirds but shemp howard professor of music steals the show watch him tutoring dee green as she fractures the voices of spring watch shemp as he shaves by a mirror suspended from the ceiling by a string watch him as he gets walloped by christine mcintyre watch him and you will laugh and learn moe is no slouch either watch him as he attempts to induce a woman to sit on a bear trap larry as usual is the zen master of reaction all in all one of the very best stooge shorts you won't find one weak moment

i'm a huge fan of war movies and as a vietnam combat vet have some experience with the technical details i worked with the bomb guys more than once and have nothing but respect for them other vets and iraq vets in particular have summarized the inaccuracies in this movie very well poetic license is one thing but this movie is a complete fantasy and fails badly because of it no bomb disposal unit or any unit would ever have tolerated this rogue operator for more than 5 minutes military units prize conformity and discipline for a reason it saves lives the opening scene particularly annoyed me the guy with the cell phone would have been shot immediately yelling stop dialing is not an effective deterrent it got worse from there the scenes with the sniper were particularly egregious as others have noted your average eod guy doesn't know jack about being a sniper and to think any arab sniper is that good really stretches the imagination kidnapping an arab businessman for some form of personal revenge just wouldn't happen somebody might shoot him but this kind of risk taking is limited to the movies i could go on but as i said others have pointed these things out in detail this is not a good movie and if it wins any awards at all it's a further reflection of why la la land is so named

all right here's the deal if you're easily offended then you might want to stay far far away from this one there are some painfully funny moments in the movie but i probably blushed about as much as i laughed actually i probably blushed more than i laughed and if i wasn't literally blushing on the outside then i was blushing on the inside if there is absolutely nothing in this movie that embarrasses you then you simply have no shame whether that's a badge of honor or not is in the eye of the beholder i suppose i will not deny that i laughed quite a bit but this is a movie that i simply cannot give a blanket recommendation due to its subject matter if i were to say this movie is hilarious go check it out! and some sweet little old church going lady heads to the theater and has a heart attack during one of the graphically explicit sex situations well that's just something i don't need on my conscience so how raunchy is it hmm try about 100 times worse than the wedding crashers honestly my mom would've walked out during the first scene i feel it's my duty to at least warn you of what to expect there is some cleverly intelligent comedy here but that's what i come to expect from the man judd apatow who had a hand in both freaks and geeks and undeclared i'm all for making fun of michael mcdonald the only man whose hair and beard are white enough to give kenny rogers a run for his money paul rudd proclaiming if i hear ya mo be there one more time i'll ya mo burn this place down is hilarious but it's one of those things that the majority of the audience won't appreciate and when we see a quick 3 second flashback of steve carrell singing along to cameo's word up i laughed for a good two minutes after the joke was over whereas most everybody chuckled and then forgot about it strangely enough despite the raunch there's an admirable moral to the story the movie doesn't portray carrell as some freaky loser just because he's a virgin he's really portrayed as a likable admirable character sure he's a little weird after all he has a framed asia poster more videogames than an asian kid and a toy collection that features the million dollar man's boss but we're never led to believe that there's actually anything wrong with the fact that he's a virgin as odd as it may seem there's a bit of an it's ok to wait message but man oh man please be warned that this pushes its r rating about as far as it can go that was certainly apatow's intention according to him he just let some of the guys particularly rogen and malco improv and talk the way they normally talk all in an effort to find lots of new ways to be dirty if you can handle that or talk that way yourself then you'll love the movie i'm not a big fan of excessive profanity and sex jokes i find that subtle clever humor is much more entertaining than about 200 uses of the f word or fratboy sex discussions but that's me like i said there are some absolutely hysterical moments here but you have to ask yourself if they're worth sitting through one of the most vulgar movies you're likely to ever see at the theater i just don't know how interested most women will be in what's discussed by men while playing poker honestly ladies you might not want to know if you've ever been curious why some girls think guys are gross well this gives you a good idea there you go my humble honest take on what to expect be that your guide it definitely should not be seen with your sunday school class mama grandmama any family members of the opposite sex children of any age or anybody who is easily offended by excessive profanity or explicit sex discussion if you'd see it with any of the above then you apparently do not have any concept of what it means to be uncomfortable

saw this a couple times on the sundance channel several years ago and received a nice cinematic jolt to the system a semi surreal yet hard edged take on modern media culture or the lack of it focusing on some seriously wacked way beyond the hollywood fringe dwellers it had an amusing early performance from mark ruffalo and some memorable cinematography from the dp who did the polish brothers movies there was a savage umcompromising humor and a weirdly original feel to it that definitely set it apart this film had cult classic written all over it and i'm surprised it's not yet out on dvd hopefully soon

if you liked the first two films then i'm sorry to say you're not going to like this one this is the really rubbish and unnecessary straight to video probably tv made sequel the still idiotic but nice scientist wayne szalinski rick moranis is still living with his family and he has his own company szalinski inc unfortunately his wife wants to get rid of a statue wayne is so stupid he shrinks his statue and himself with his brother then he shrinks his wife and sister in law too now the adults have to find a way to get the kids of the house to get them bigger pretty much a repeat of the other two with only one or two new things e g a toy car roller coaster swimming in dip etc pretty poor!

there was nothing remotely funny about this movie it makes fun of various sports movies and clichés but nothing about it is remotely funny most of the movies they parody doesn't even fit in with the film and are really only their so they can be in it non the main actor was well cast in it but that's really the only good thing about this film also the various cameos in it were kind of cool to see but i have no idea why they would waste their time being in this piece of garbage thank goodness i only spent $4 on it as this is not something worth spending money on only watch if you have absolutely nothing to do or just want to waste an hour and 30 minutes

i love this film it is excellent and so funny ben is fit and i wouldn't mind meeting him on holiday!! i rate this film a 10 because its gr8 and i hope they never re make it because it would never be the same funny bit is wen andre is looking at the moon and he shouts at nicole to 'come outside and look at the moon' that bit always makes me laugh and never gets old another thing is nicole looks a lot older then 14 but shes a gr8 actress but i need help with something does n e 1 no the name of the song played at the end wen nicole and andre are dancing its really bugging me because i want 2 no what it is because its a nice song!!

darling lili is a mixture of perfection and magic! the stars julie andrews & rock hudson could not have done a better attempt if they tried it's full of all the magic that a young lady wishes for and it makes it seem as if it can all really happen to you the brilliance of the director blake edwards is shown to be at his best he was truly capturing the woman he loved on screen! the blend of each song went perfectly with the moment in the film the film opened with julie andrews singing whistling away in the dark and closed with the same song by andrews for a film of this excellence to have been such a failure when it was released is a total shock as it is inspirational purely inspirational! one of andrews most memorable lines in this film!

good grief! while i still maintain that manos the hands of fate is the worst piece of mental torture available hobgoblins came awfully close this this thing insults the audience at every opportunity at least films like space mutiny and future war can be enjoyed on mst3k this one was a struggle to get through i was literally writhing on the couch in anguish this thing managed to embarrass me alone! even if you are a die hard mst3k fan and have made it your mission to see every single experiment think twice about seeing this one it's that bad

if you haven't figured out what is going to happen in this film in the first five minutes then give it a couple more minutes lilia is a widow she has been left on the shelf for too long and she wants to burst out she has a teenage daughter which only highlights that she is not getting any younger while checking up on her daughter she discovers a world she never dared the cabaret where she can belly dance in skimpy sequined outfits while men throw money at her the film is very misogamist it's portrayal of men is dismal which is rather odd as lilia stoops to jiggle around for them not for money but just for the hell of it when she succeeds in arousing them it makes her feel like a woman again she does not wish to connect with them but she is addicted to the attention the other dancers all are mostly aging women who look like men in drag and realize their time in the spotlight is short lived not short enough i say she does find romance however brief with you guessed it no surprises here we didn't see coming though the ending is good you realize that it could have ended no other way maybe this film just isn't targeting my demographic 30 male

first of all i do not look down on americans i know lots of people that are intelligent people from the usa but this movie is so utterly bad that i just had to comment on it first of all movies are mostly far from the truth this movie is no exception lots of scene's are so incredibly false for example the departure of the 2 space ships you see them drop off the full tanks in space just a small distance from each other remember what caused the space shuttle to explode in the past just a tinsy winsy part that came off in here it is just common to drop fuel tanks that are as big if not bigger then the whole ship what idiot would let 2 spaceships lift up and do that at the same time second of it is that the russian station is a piece of s crap i hate to bring this up to you but astronauts nowadays go to russia since their equipment is much more reliable then nasa's the space shuttle is retired and nasa uses it just to pay off the bills and there is no better alternative for it and the list of whoppers goes on and on this is truly an insult to people that do take space travel serious and i know half as much as these guys do but the most annoying part read the whole movie is the propaganda and patriot crap that u get choked with my god !!!! i thought i was looking at a cnn business commercial for like an hour the actors solve their petty problems by shooting at each other giving the middle finger to everyone they come face to face with start up fights ignore the police etc etc but when it comes to their love for their country and sacrificing their lives suddenly everyone stands in line to commit suicide for it bomb detonator maybe i lack the feeling of being a true patriot that can sing the national anthem backwards in swahili whilst riding with george bush behind the steering wheel of a golf cart driving in circles until the battery is empty but this movie was too much for me too handle and when i finally got hold and pulled the flag pole and fabric of the american flag out of my hiney i realised that i was glad this movie was finally done i do not know why so much good actors participated in this narrow minded stereotyping propaganda movie but i pity them this represents a country where you can get away with murder if you have money or power as long as uncle sam thinks you are a good patriot where everyone is happy as long as it is another country that has been devastated no one cares

the sort of little film which studios used to excel at but seldom make anymore sort of a soul version of the more well known the last of the blonde bombshells ian mcshane is excellent as a dj and aficionado of soul music who becomes obsessed with the idea of re uniting the members of a classic soul group and the film follows his exploits as well as those of the group members a cast which includes such genuine musical talent as isaac hayes as well as acting stalwarts taurean blacque derrick o'connor and antonio fargas not meant to be an epic by any means this is nonetheless a chunk of solid gold

i do not like himesh reshamiya i do not like his singing too but his songs are a craze in india especially among commoners now when he ventured to become an actor – that was a big joke! what guts he has to reap as much as he can in his prime time i did never want to see this movie but one thing changed it the movie becoming a super duper hit! after 2 weeks aap ka saroor has raked box office collection of 14 crores – compared to apne that has collected 7 crores in the same 2 weeks if i can sit through apne and rajnikant's absurd sivaji – i should give this movie also a try to understand what stuff this movie has got that made it such a big hit the story is about the real life singer himesh reshamiya hr who has gone to germany for a concert and falls in love with riya hansika motwani a german lawyer ruby mallika sherawat loves himesh now himesh is arrested for a murder the mission of himesh in last 40 minutes after he runs away from jail is to prove himself innocent and find the real murderer let me say that himesh has nothing in him to become a hero he tries hard but fails miserably he is pathetic i was thinking what could have made the movie click so much let me find something positive first the saving grace of the movie is the script till the point himesh runs away from the jail but after that the movie nose dives into unbearable stupid limits second the songs of the movie are good catchy crowd puller numbers third mallika sherawat – she looks gorgeous and acts well too as the second lady i can imagine fans of mallika coming to see the movie just for her fourth the cinematography of the movie is pleasing – especially the german locales are a treat to watch for the eye fifth the major portion of the story is a love story between himesh and riya – with clichéd dialogues that would probably connect to young crowd sixth the director prashant chadha has done a decent job in covering the pathetic acting skills of himesh as much as possible with shots that don't need himesh to act much the heroine hansika motwani looks like a small budget film heroine raj babbar is wasted in a small role overall the movie is a below average i was thinking throughout the movie – what if the same movie script was done with salmaan as the main lead i think it would have had been a much better affair may be then i would have given the movie 6 out of 10 but now… stars 4 5 out of 10

even for a tired movie model as the nature vs man cycle that prevailed so predominantly in the 1970s ants falls miserably short of being even somewhat effective though entertaining for reasons it was not intending it is sooooo preposterous apparently these ants that are bulldozed near an inn have been eating poisonous waste for decades and have now adapted by emitting poisonous bites hundreds of these bites being fatal watching actors of some notoriety clumsily fall amidst tiny black specks is painfully funny in a not so good but very bad way so many scenes just look ludicrous a boy trying to fall in a dumpster whilst being attacked suzanne sommers crying out in horror while lounging in bed robert foxworth and lynda george breathing through pieces of wallpaper bernie casey faking a gam leg and the list goes on and on the peril shown ranges from ants crawling from a drain to black lines of ants all over the walls the cast for the film is not bad on paper but none of these actors seem to believe in the material poor myrna loy has to sit in a wheelchair through this horror i hope she found a good use for the money for it is obvious that was the only reason a woman of her pedigree would be in this nonsense although it is quite a bad film it is watchable once for me and does have many of those seventies bad film qualities start studded actors embarrassing themselves that made for tv feel and the dreaded creatures of nature reeking vengeance on man this time man must push his hand into a pile of ants to be affected really quite dreadful

ghillie a remake of the telugu okkadu' is thankfully a clarified version of the original it packs the same punch and dharani true to his cinematic brilliance delivers it with style and panache a flagging vijay's career with the entry of the likes of surya and vikram on the fray got the much needed uplift with this movie this might well prove to be the best movie vijay has ever been on considering the choices he has been making since then the hard working actor seems to have lost his bearing what with talented new entrants being accepted both by the industry and public alike the tightly snug script which runs at a neck break speed revolves around velu a willful youngster aspiring to make a mark in the game of kabaddi a popular game among boys in india the events following the chance encounter with muthupandi his rescue of the girl in distress and how he juggles with the aspirations of his friends and his own forms the fulcrum and end of the movie vijay fits as a 't' into the role and essays a subdued and believable portrayal of the boy next door trisha has more than a stereotyped tamil heroine mantle to play the role is far more complex than just a girl in trouble with limited dialog's trisha exploits her occasional muted expressions and subtle vulnerability to add color to the role this is a classic case of a cover page girl coming of age to become a professional actress trisha became my personal favorite after this movie the movie ends on predictable lines although one has to credit the director for keeping the audience guessing on many things including trisha's change in decision to leave the country prakash raj deserves a word of praise for providing the perfect counter weight for vijay's role his almost indomitable stature in the role of a villain and the apparent chinks in the hero's armor form a perfect ploy for keeping the audience guessing overall this is a great movie that deserves at least a single viewing i give it a clear 8 out of 10

the only reason i give it a 2 is that filmography is so stylized these days such that it has at least something to comment on this film is asinine it's like so many other 21st century grind house fodder the gore is gratuitous and simply revolting i didn't care about any of the characters but i did care that some cretin bothered to pen this crap i'd complain about the money i spent but my date and i wisely left after 40 minutes and went to an adjoining theater to watch the adventurous and entertaining live free or die hard which probably got a much higher rating from me simply because i endured the utter poop of captivity for 40 minutes

this is a big step down after the surprisingly enjoyable original this sequel isn't nearly as fun as part one and it instead spends too much time on plot development tim thomerson is still the best thing about this series but his wisecracking is toned down in this entry the performances are all adequate but this time the script lets us down the action is merely routine and the plot is only mildly interesting so i need lots of silly laughs in order to stay entertained during a trancers movie unfortunately the laughs are few and far between and so this film is watchable at best

a vow to cherish is a wonderful movie it's based on a novel of the same title which was equally good though different from the film really made you think about how you'd respond if you were in the shoes of the characters recommended for anyone who has ever loved a parent spouse or family member in other words everyone! though the production isn't quite hollywood quality no big special effects still the values and ideals portrayed more than make up for it and the cast did a wonderful job of capturing the emotional connections between family members and the devastation that occurs when one of them becomes ill you don't want to miss this!

the title suggests that this movie is a sequel to an american werewolf in london none of the characters from the previous movie return and aren't even mentioned in this movie by name so as a sequel aawip fails one would say i dare to say the opposite an american werewolf in paris is a charming effective horror movie it's one of the better werewolf films i have seen in a long time too and i have seen quite my share such as an american werewolf in london the howling wolfen the wolfman and the underworld trilogy the story tells of three americans visiting paris on a vacation at the top of the eifel tower one of them saves a woman trying to commit suicide what starts out as a romantic relationship slowly turns into a nightmare when the dark secrets that lurk in the city are revealed i really liked the acting in this film especially the two stars of the movie the woman who tried to commit suicide and the guy who saves her they have good chemistry together but the other two americans also play their roles nicely i didn't really find anything annoying about the acting so thumbs up for that! the effects on the werewolves are nice it doesn't look too cheap or fake to me of course the opinions are divided about this subject but let's just say that i wasn't disappointed there's also a good amount of humor in this movie there are some really funny scenes you will probably remember for a long time so to sum it up an american werewolf in paris might not be a direct sequel to it's predecessor but it's still an enjoyable movie perfect for fans of werewolves! 7 out of 10 stars!

please future writers producers directors learn from this movie! never before have i seen such a bold and original tale created for the big movie screen bold because the script constantly made a step so many fantasy movies safely avoided a step to something new creative and daring just when you think 'oh i've seen this before' or 'i am sure this is what will happen now' stardust would make an unexpected twist and involve you more and more into the story the actors are great even the smallest part is performed with such talent it fills me with awe for the creators of this movie robert de niro is gorgeous and performs with such energy that he simply steals the show in each scene he's in michelle pfeiffer is the perfect witch and claire danes a wonderful choice for the innocent and loving 'star' yvaine other big names make outstanding roles i had the filling everyone is trying to give his best for this movie but once again the story by neil gaiman all the little things he 'invented' for this universe simply outstanding i watched this movie at a pre screening today a day before the official release and do hope it will have huge success there is so much humor but also tense moments as well as lovely tender scenes the look in the eyes of yvaine the 'frivolities' of captain shakespeare the passion of lamia the witch impressive unforgettable for me this is the number one entertaining movie of 2007 watch it and enjoy it 11 10 outstanding peace and love

once again we are fortunate to see a gorgeous opening scene where the artists' work has been fully restored and we see this old time grocery store on a street corner with the snow gently falling inside are the rich colors of all the merchandise from produce to canned and boxed goods to medicine to candy etc in essence this is a story of those goods coming to life such as the animals on the labels of items or a pie or even a pack of cigarettes the whole show is narrated by jack bunny a jack benny impersonator with music from conductor leopold stokowski who was in so many looney tunes animated shorts i have lost count a lot of the humor is topical so it pays to know who little egypt and other characters the busby berkeley type aqua number with bathing suited sardines coming out of the can and the tomato can can dance were both clever! all of the above and more was in the first half of this slightly longer than normal length cartoon the second half was about a king kong type which escapes from the animal crackers box and terrorizes everyone that part was not much and ended on a somewhat stupid note so an a for the first half a d for the second making it about a c plus or b minus overall

henry fool surprised me i didn't expect it to entertain and amuse as well or as strongly as it did fay grim continues to surprise in that it provides solid continuation to a story that seems not to need it once the viewer watches the first 20 minutes of the movie however it becomes blindingly aware that this is one of the best sequels to brilliant indie film at least as good as ginger snaps back if not better i am a little disappointed that jeff goldblum's part is so small but i'm happy he is a part of this short run he is convincing and delightful as agent fulbright also a delight is liam aiken who quite aptly portrays ned grim the son of fay and henry this movie is a pleasure for so many reasons i am pleased for example to discover that henry isn't really the loser he seems by the end of fool and to further discover that he is in fact a genius well that really is a lovely stroke of the pen i am hoping they do a third like the end of the trilogy it seems to be missing they should entitle it ned fool grim and it should be liam looking for his father to validate the awesome change in his mother and the sense of near genius he himself feels welling inside him assuming of course that fay continues withholding many of the most important facts from her son concerning his father it feels like it needs to be done i'd buy it even with more action this is still not an action flick it is more drama and intrigue a mystery of sorts i'll watch it often it rates an 8 3 10 from the fiend

so tell me what serious boozer drinks budweiser how many suicidally obsessed drinkers house a fully stocked and barely touched range of drinks in their lonely motel room that a millionaire playboy's bachelor pad bar would be proud to boast and what kind of an alcoholic tends to drink with the bottle held about 8 inches from his hungry mouth so that the contents generally spill all over his face not to mention wasting good whisky by dousing your girlfriend's tits with it just so the cinema audience can get a good eyeful of elisabeth shue's assets cage seems to be portraying the most attention seeking look at me alcoholic ever to have graced the screen while shue looks more like a berkely preppy slumming it for a summer than some seasoned street walker she is humiliated and subjugated as often as possible in this revolting movie with beatings skin lacerations anal rape and graphic verbal abuse all of it completely implausible and included apparently only to convey a sense of her horribly demeaned state and offer the male viewers an astonishingly clichéd sentimental sexual fantasy of the 'tart with a heart' still i did watch it to the end by which time i was actually laughing out loud as shue's tough street hooker chopped carrots in the kitchen wanly pathetically smiling while cage all eyes popping and shaking like like a man operating a road drill in an earthquake grimaced and mugged his way through the final half hour

at first i had the reaction a lot of people left with after seeing this that shots of fat people sunbathing etc were cheap shots in a way ok so he's doing diane arbus meets whatever but it wasn't long before i realized that this wasn't being done in a dehumanizing way as the images unfold i felt that the problem was entirely the audience's we are conditioned by hollywood and also movies from just about everywhere actually to feel that to watch people above a certain age behave in a sexual way is something unseemly something that ought not to be shown if this were all the film offered it would be a great deal however the story of the woman with the abusive boyfriend and his drunk friend really hits like a ton of bricks very eloquent storytelling incredible performances and to think the scene was improvised that blonde guy is a genius actor finally i want to contradict those who say this film is all about how pathetic all these people are the old man who is on the make with the woman who finally dances for him is completely an a ok character that breaks that mold so don't oversimplify the film by overlooking him yes his dog gets killed this ain't a rosy picture of the world but it's not completely hopeless anyway i felt really grateful to the filmmaker for making such a beautiful film all in all i wouldn't say each of the threads were as strong as the strongest but i say this movie basically kicks ass and would highly recommend it

one of my absolute favorite childhood films the chipmunk adventure packs incredible fun geared for young and old alike the animation is lively and colorful and the film itself boasts some of the best songs ever put in an animated feature who could forget the dynamic boys girls of rock n' roll the exciting diamond dolls and the heartrending my mother this should be considered a nostalgic classic animated gem from the eighties it's too bad they don't make them like this anymore most animated films today resort to violence crude humor or sentimental mush except of course the folks from pixar bottom line an amazing and unforgettable adventure for all ages

it's this sort of movie that you try and imitate by attempting to realise something then flying through the air almost immediately i'd like to do that and i know you would too! great stuff!

a lot of people give this movie a lot of crap and all of it's really undeserved people give this movie a hard time either because it's such a sick subject or they harp on some technical aspect of the movie no one else observes when they watch it if just by looking at the cover you think this movie will make you uncomfortable don't watch it! however you'd be missing out on one of the better cinematic experiences of the late 1990's despite what anyone else says dee snider is wonderful here as captain howdy the depths of insanity he plumbs to play this character has to be beyond words and is much farther than any one of us would have to be willing to go the acting here is wonderful the film itself beautifully shot the subject may be a bit too much for many to swallow but it's still well worth your time if you haven't seen this movie check it out

today i found they all laughed on vhs on sale in a rental it was a really old and very used vhs i had no information about this movie but i liked the references listed on its cover the names of peter bogdanovich audrey hepburn john ritter and specially dorothy stratten attracted me the price was very low and i decided to risk and buy it i searched imdb and the user rating of 6 0 was an excellent reference i looked in mick martin & marsha porter video & dvd guide 2003 and – wow – four stars! so i decided that i could not waste more time and immediately see it indeed i have just finished watching they all laughed and i found it a very boring overrated movie the characters are badly developed and i spent lots of minutes to understand their roles in the story the plot is supposed to be funny private eyes who fall in love for the women they are chasing but i have not laughed along the whole story the coincidences in a huge city like new york are ridiculous ben gazarra as an attractive and very seductive man with the women falling for him as if her were a brad pitt antonio banderas or george clooney is quite ridiculous in the end the greater attractions certainly are the presence of the playboy centerfold and playmate of the year dorothy stratten murdered by her husband pretty after the release of this movie and whose life was showed in star 80 and death of a centerfold the dorothy stratten story the amazing beauty of the sexy patti hansen the future mrs keith richards the always wonderful even being fifty two years old audrey hepburn and the song amigo from roberto carlos although i do not like him roberto carlos has been the most popular brazilian singer since the end of the 60's and is called by his fans as the king i will keep this movie in my collection only because of these attractions manly dorothy stratten my vote is four title brazil muito riso e muita alegria many laughs and lots of happiness

it amazes me that someone would actually consider spending some money on a movie like this really let's forget for a second that the plot doesn't even give a single hint of originality most of the movies today are based on other movies' stories so a simple lack of originality is not that big a deal but i can hardly believe that none of the guys involved in the movie had never even got on a plane before shooting this because let's be honest that would be the only excuse to come up with something so ridiculous to be sincere i think a 6 years old child with a fake camera could have come up with something technically much more believable some examples following the scene that really drove me crazy is when the engines turn off when they regain control of the plane when they have to turn them on again the guy on the radio says something like ok push the 1 and 2 buttons on the dashboard now those are not buttons they should not be pushed they should actually be pulled up and toward the pilot that's something only plane addicted would know you say wrong the next scene you can see their fingers pushing the buttons and of course the so called buttons don't move at all! not even a single millimeter! and note that i haven't even mentioned the fact that aircraft engines are not like cars engine that you just turn the key and the magic happens you have to do quite a complicated procedure to turn them on come on guys! you could have faked the movements at least!! not to mention the hilarious final impact where the plane crashes against every single thing along the runway light poles along the runway what where they thinking ! and the wings don't even get ripped off! it happened to me too once except the plane was made of lego! what about the flight attendant she's actually so skilled that she perfectly knows where the aux 1 and aux 2 fuses are in the middle of the wires behind the cockpit should we mention then the guy that can drive an ambulance _and_ fly a plane behind the ambulance using his computer and how did he turn the other airplane engines on really i could go on hours with this stuff this is the dumbest movie i've ever come across and i'm including garbage like alone in the dark and other stuff in the list want to do yourself a favor don't watch it

cedric klapisch's movie l'auberge espagnole is easy breezy charm wrapped in nostalgia for our younger years and attractive youths at its core it's the feature length presentation of the long running mtv reality soap opera known as the real world in which as its motto goes this is the 'true story' of seven strangers picked to live in a house and have their lives taped so watch what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real this is exactly what happens minus the cameras planted at every minuscule corner of the house in barcelona spain where xavier romain duris comes to stay having to learn spanish to fill into his job's requirements an outsider in many ways he slowly forms a camaraderie with his house mates who come from all corners of europe except america this is a movie in which the only american shown is an unlikable character with whom wendy the adorable kelly reilly is having an affair with only for sex she confesses since she has her own boyfriend who makes a late but dazed appearance throughout his stay there he tries to maintain a long distance relationship with his girlfriend played by audrey tautou while he begins a tentative flirtation with the wife of the owner of the spanish house where he is staying at and gets some advice from a lesbian house mate cecile de france as to how to seduce a woman a sweet little feature that presents a moment in time that twenty somethings will never see again l'auberge espagnole is forgettable fun containing within itself the threshold into the real world experienced through xavier's eyes

hitchcock would be proud of this movie even when nothing happens it is suspenseful director david lynch overuses a few cheap thrill tricks here and there but he intersperses them with other cinematographic techniques to keep it from becoming obtuse altogether surreal this movie is like waking up and remembering most of a dream but not enough to make it sensible i am still trying to figure it all out and will probably have to see it again to catch things i missed and which may help me understand it better it is a very detailed plot that very slowly comes together so you must be patient and pay attention get your bathroom trip out of the way before it starts and yet the plot is overshadowed by the theme the mood the character development and the filming techniques the dual roles of the main actress naomi watts showcase her enormous talent that is when i could get my eyes off of her co star what an acting pair lynch surprises throughout the movie with unusual camera angles the length timing of editing cuts jumping back and forth between scenes combined with smart use of music and sounds it all helps to build suspense in our minds doubtless a major objective of the director well he kept me on the edge of my seat even had me talking to the actors to be careful here and not be so naive there you know the kind of stuff you want to smack your kids for doing at the movies

i am working at a video store so i got to see this one for free thank god had i paid for it my review would be less forgiving well the major idea of the film geeky girl takes bloody revenge isn't all that original there are several parallels to carrie playing a mean practical joke on a loser except for one nice girl that is actually sorry for her tamaras and carries bad family background i still think it's a fun idea for trashy teen horror flick unfortunately they didn't take much advantage of the potentials that are here and rather put an emphasis on all the wrong things what worked i liked the actress that played tamara she looked great when she was hot and her catty lines were fun sean can't come to the phone he's f**king patrick! what didn't work the whole wicca thing was silly i generally prefer rational explanations she could have ploted the whole thing with her teacher or one of the boys to get her revenge there were a lot of logical wholes and the gore looked really bad when the boy is cutting of his ear and his tongue please!!! the whole idea wasn't bound for oscar buzz but i just think they wasted the comedic and the suspenseful potential they had it was bearable but far from good!

yes this bizarre feature was written by john sayles shot in toronto it's yet another '80s era feature about the dangers of the urban jungle where the police fear to go and the homeless and the criminal classes are the only inhabitants into this mix comes the myth of wild thing a feral young man raised by a bag lady after his parents were murdered by a dirty cop on the take maury chaykin and chopper the local crime lord robert davi stir in the local do gooders priest sean hewitt and clueless social worker kathleen quinlan and you have a recipe for some rather unexciting action sequences davi is the standout amongst the cast and cinematographer rene verzier does a pretty good job otherwise this is a rather lumpen action pic that won't satisfy action fans and will leaves sayles' admirers slack jawed

absolutely one of the worst movies i have ever seen! the acting the dialog the manuscript the sound the lighting the plot line i actually can't say anything positive about this although i enjoy swedish movies the fighting scenes are so ridiculous that it's impossible to take it seriously and when the lead character just happens to loose his shirt while dodging bullets in a strip bar i'm not sure if it's supposed to be a joke or if someone really thinks these are ingredients in a good film ! regina lund is the only half descent actor but she disappears in a flood of laughable pronunciations and unbelievable reactions it leaves you horrified that someone actually spent time and money on something like this

plots with a view of 2002 is a delightful little comedy like only the british could do it the film's sense of humor is both mildly morbid and black and yet very lovable and sometimes very slapstick ish it's the only film by director nick hurran i've seen so far and while i am not intending to watch any of his other films at the moment i'm not a big fan of romantic comedies this one is highly enjoyable and very funny the film takes place in a little town in wales where betty rhys jones brenda blethyn is married to the town's drunken and adulterous major robert pugh the local mortician boris alfred molina has been desperately in love with betty since their childhood but has always been too shy to confess his love to her apart from being desperately in love boris has some other problems as the eccentric american mortician frank featherbed christopher walken has opened a funeral flourishing business in the same town the film's odd very british wit should amuse everybody with a sense of humor and the story sometimes becomes quite bizarre also plots with a view profits from a wonderful cast brenda bethlyn who has already proved herself to be a funny lady in 2000's saving grace plays the lead and she is once again very funny and very lovable in her role alfred molina who plays her shy admirer delivers a great performance as always and robert pugh fits perfectly in the role of betty's sleazy husband beautiful naomi watts is also great as the husband's 'secretary' i'm becoming a bigger fan with every film i see her in the greatest role however is played by the incomparable christopher walken one of my favorite actors walken is brilliant as he always is in the role of the eccentric mortician who arranges funerals that are quite unorthodox overall plots with a view is a vastly entertaining little british comedy that i highly recommend!

i like many others saw this as a child and i loved it and it horrified me up until adulthood i have been trying to find this movie and even been searching for it to play again on tv someday since it originally played on usa networks does anyone know where to buy this movie or does anyone have it and would be willing to make a copy for me also does anyone know if there is a chance for it to be played on tv again maybe all of us fans should write a station in hopes of them airing it again i don't think they did a good job of promoting this movie in the past because no one really knows about people only know of the stepford wives and stepford husband movies no one is familiar with the fact that there was a children version maybe they should also do a re make of it since they seem to be doing that a lot lately with a lot of my favorite old thriller horror flicks well if anyone has any input please i beg of you write me with information thanks taira tcampo23 aol com

i am an actor producer director and what i am about to say are facts this project was the worst film in movie making history from producer to director and the edit of this so called film is a joke and i mean a big joke why would blockbuster released such crap i take my work very serious and this film is an insult to my profession was the director trying to make a bad movie i don't think so i seen bad zombie movies but this takes the cake the coffie and everything on the damn table this movie sucks!!! i really hate to talk bad about other filmmakers because i am one myself but please consider in taking up a different profession i respect the fact that you completed a movie but i have to ask you were you smoking crack i mean the makeup on your girls the scary zombies what were you thinking to the whole nation if i could have voted zero i would have worst film in movie making history!!!

good movies are original some leave a message or touch you in a certain way but sometimes you're not in the mood for that i wanted something simple no thinking just plain action when i watched this one it started of good and was quite entertaining so why a bad review well in the end the movie lost it's credibility the storyline wasn't that cheesy at all the action was not too special but overall good acting was ok so more than enough to satisfy my needs but all got ruined because things happened that were over the top and it left me with a bad feeling they should have put a little more effort in making everything credible and would have gotten a 7 in the no thinking just plain action category so in conclusion if you know you'll get irritated because things are happening that seem completely illogical don't watch! otherwise i'd say go ahead

its incredible to me that the best rendition of this amazing story remains a cartoon made by walt disney in the 1940s but its true here another clumsy attempt sputters confuses and alienates would be viewers with admirable effectiveness while successfully antagonizing those of us who have actually read the story irving's original work is short by any measure and making a feature length film is bound to be a challenge one can either completely rewrite the story a la tim burton which is a discussion for another time or pad the bust line of the old girl with unintended detail the latter is what is attempted here and if i may say pitifully so unimaginative and thoroughly modern new facets to character personalities such as religious zealotry in crane or wanderlust in good old bram bones ruin the story's intent and betray a severe lack of talent by the filmmakers by the time the tale's famous climax approached i had completely lost interest its the kind of film where you expect to see a stagehand smoking in the background

what a drawn out painful experience that's over two hours of my life i will never get back this film festival director's delight is awash with overuse of the long slow shot however that's not the only thing that makes a script avoid this movie at all costs

well i have not much to say about this film except that it was a truly wonderful film natalie portman is absolutely fantastic as the daughter in this lovely mother daughter relationship film beautiful film

ladies and gentlemen may we present the worst of all disney remakes although the name of this movie is that darn cat it should have been that darn teen or fbi agent the cat didn't get any real good scenes ricci's character was more annoying than funny doug e doug didn't get any good lines even dean jones's cameo role couldn't save this movie! the only really good characters were the town's only two auto mechanics but their scenes were only brief in all i'd say that if you are considering watching this movie go get something more intelligent like a barney video

saw this movie and totally loved it the characters are great it is definitely my kind of movie you do not get bored in this movie i love independent films they are so much more rewarding my husband and i really enjoyed jay's style if you are an open minded person who loves thought provoking films and loves conversation after it's over you will love this film it is definitely thought provoking the film definitely will step on some toes but who cares those people will probably not go to see this movie it is amazing to see the characters evolve jay floyd has really captured both sides of the table applause applause jay i hope you are working on another movie

i waited for this movie to play in great anticipation assuming it would be more accurately portrayed like the movie the christmas box based on the book by richard paul evans i sent out many emails to friends and family asking them to please watch this show hoping they would better understand a tiny amount of my new life after seeing this movie i was so disappointed as a mother who lost her only child in november 2003 and really knowing the pain i had hoped that this movie would shed light to parents who think they understand the grief a parent goes through who has lost a child this movie was a very light hearted movie and the silliness of diane keaton was a slap in the face to parents who have buried a child it was very unrealistic from start to stop i had a few calls after the movie each call the same that was so off the mark and made it appear that in a short time you are back on the road and listening to songs on the radio and life is back what a bunch of bull! it is clear that the director and keaton have never lost a child because neither would have ever made the movie to be so off the mark i guess that's hollywood

have you ever wondered what would happen if a couple of characters from beverly hills 90210 were thrown into a thai jail if so this is your movie this is midnight express for the mtv crowd that would be ok but the story was poorly executed contrived plot twists poor dialogue and unresolved issues abound this slight film did not earn the right to be as cryptic as it ends up being potential spoiler and impossibly preposterous plot line the faux tension filled moment when the hotel employee discovers the girls do not have a room there and is about to kick them out this moment is innappropriately played with the same solemnity and gravity as the moment when they are arrested at gunpoint later the same hotel employee is somehow found and bangkok is a big city mind you ive been there and testifies against the girls as if a couple of free mai tais warrant 40 years in prison c'mon rent another day in paradise instead

since there have been so many reviews of this fine film i will write in a list form and attempt to address issues that have not been discussed 1 dana andrews was 38 during the filming of this movie his character according to the screenplay was in his mid 20s andrews a highly underrated actor did brilliantly play a character who was supposed to be much younger 2 fredric march like all great actors needs at times to be restrained by the director to avoid over the top acting he was mugging for the cameras when he was drunk on the night after his arrival and also the next morning when he was checking out his hang over in his mirror 3 dana andrews was superb as he was in laura the ox bowl incident a walk in the sun the purple heart and many other films why did fredric march win the academy award and why was dana andrews not even nominated for his outstanding performance 4 harold russell gave the best performance i have ever seen by a non actor 5 i realize this was the 1940s but dana andrews seemed to have no romantic interest in his exceptionally attractive wife virginia mayo 6 ray teal who played the right wing bigot years later became famous for portraying the sheriff on bonanza 7 the professor from the south wrote that the film was slow moving boring and poorly acted the professor more than likely is uninformed about classic films the beauty and significance of these ageless classics is that they are slow moving character studies that avoid profanity excessive violence and gratuitous sex ***i was surprised that zero out of 3 people found my review useful

alien was excellent many writers tried to copy it they all did a bad job or almost but dead space is the worst alien copy because of the bad actors the bad special effects the bad scenario and other bad stuff it would take about 3 pages to tell everything that is bad in this film the movie wasn't very long and this is a very good thing the only one you cannot laugh because it is too serious that is a bad thing because in almost each b series sci fi film you can laugh during the whole time it can be terrific sometimes but instead of watching this stupidity just watch alien or event horizon these are much better!!! i give it 1 out of 5

ok this doesn't compare to the explosive tempo of the first part's opening sequence nor to its visual shock value nor for that matter to the melancholic suspense of the second installment no it's surprisingly and refreshingly different apart of course from the two main actors the tongue in cheek futuristic scenario drives the characters towards each other across genres and languages with an almost gravitational force the moment of impact conclusion is your choice of a shakespearean metaphor of life and humanity in a cartoon costume b sublimation of violence into homo erotics c humorous detonation of an impossible buildup everything up to then is even less unequivocal highly recommended to indiscriminate movie buffs who don't mind following foie gras with a hot dog caution to those with more refined palates

this movie was a masterpiece of human emotions and experience i think that a lot of people get caught up in leland's apparent mental illness as the storyline but i was drawn into the relationships of many of the characters and what they reveal about the force of human emotions much of the message of the movie is that we never know the good without the bad which is a little cliché but what makes this movie so good and so original is that it very eloquently portrays the crushing and devastating force that the bad can have whether you see the bad everywhere like leland or are experiencing the utter helplessness of unrequited love or a relationship that just isn't going to work no matter how bad you want it to this movie captures how helpless relationships and emotions can make you feel better than any movie i've seen and it is as depressing a movie as it is good

the man who gave us splash cocoon and parenthood gave us this incoherent muddle of cliched characters poor plotting you've got to be kidding dialogue and melodramatic acting i guess everybody has a bad day at the office now and then he's allowed

there's hardly anything at all to recommend this movie chase masterson is always nice to look at and actually can act though her role in this clunker is a waste unfortunately the rest of the cast ranges from bad to mediocre in a lot of films like this someone will shine through the material and you make a note of them for future reference no such luck here creature unknown a clichéd monster on the loose flick with the kids getting knocked off one after the other the monster is a man in a rubber suit which hearkens back to the days of paul blaisdell so bad it's good! the rest of the show is just so bad it's bad a little humor might have made this more palatable but everyone plays the deadly dull material straight up there is a twist or two at the end but by then you won't care anymore

now here is a film that if made in australia would have easily been a comedy sadly and annoyingly here it is flaccid and cheesy and overbaked from lala land how did the di erector get it so wrong well mainly by being serious about a job so hilariously startling that nobody in their right mind could take seriously unless of course they were a nerdy lonely gay cliché but somehow cute or is that cliché piled upon cliché no value in the story that almost seems like a prequel to gus van sant's gerry and with a title like the fluffer how is it all such a lead weight well this auteur must have soooooo mad that he didn't get to burt and boogie first that he had to make his own convoluted and undeveloped apart from the 'unrequited love's a bore' theme left over from a faded streisand lyric we have only moody beefcake and tv serial level storyline left the un necessary fourth act of this overlong turgid drama is truly terrible as the film wanders off like the gerries into to desert and gets stuck there in oz in the late 90s some 20 somethings made a similar but actually hilarious film called moneyshot originally filmed as the venus factory it too suffered from an auteur more awful than orson so they re filmed half of it got a ruthless tv editor to chop it up and down down to 72 minutes and hey presto comedy tonight! a lesson there in when bad films turn good by lightening up i guess the fluffer stiffed on release and after seeing it not perform i can understand why

my interest in dorothy stratten caused me to purchase this video although it had great actors actresses there were just too many subplots going on to retain interest plus it just wasn't that interesting dialogue was stiff and confusing and the story just flipped around too much to be believable i was pretty disappointed in what i believe was one of audrey hepburn's last movies i'll always love john ritter best in slapstick he was just too pathetic here

the first hour or so of the movie was mostly boring to say the least however it improved afterwards as the valentine party commenced apart from the twist as to the identity of the killer in the very end the hot bath murder scene was one of the few relatively memorable aspects of this movie the scene at the garden with kate was well shot and so was the very last scene the 'twist' in those scenes there was some genuine suspense and thrills and the hot bath murder scene had a nasty the way slashers should be edge to it the earlier murders are frustratingly devoid of gore
