I don't know what nationality you are lodigo , but let me say that I am from the USA ( and the Carolinas , the very conservative part of it ) , and I can assure you that I will never call any female a slut , I don't care how many guys she sleeps with in any amount of time . And that's because she is not a slut , simply a woman exercizing her right to do this if she so wishes . See my posting on You , Me and Dupree for more on that ( though I know plenty of people , including my own mother when she was living , strongly disagreed ) . But I never actually got to see this movie , I'd planned to in April , 2003 in Charlotte , NC , but then it did not come out there ( Charlotte too conservative ? ? ? ) . But the month it was filmed ( March , 2003 ) was also the month I turned 35 , and became old enough to become President or Vice President of the United States ( not being American you may not be aware that is the minimum age requirement for this-but then again over half of Americans don't either ) . Thus , I was well past being in college and going on spring break then , and this political milestone did dominate my thoughts that month . Nonetheless , I would have liked to have seen this , and it is probably very similair to another spring break movie , titled " Spring Break " , that was out 20 years earlier , in March / April , 1983 ( it was a regular scripted movie , not a reality one ) . But this week is the 20th anniversary of my first spring break , during my freshman year of college ( from Friday , March 6 to Sunday March 15 , 1987 ) . I did not go to Ft . Lauderdale , FL ( the spring break place in the USA in the 1960s , 70s , 80s ) , or Cancun ( where this was filmed ) , I simply went home and did normal things all week , but this week is a little nostolgic for me due to this .

I saw the criterion ( I own it ) , and found it to be clear , sharp and fair to the film . My advice to you is to go ahead with that one if you can , its a worthwhile purchase . Last film seen : Hard-Boiled 9 / 10

I planned to come onto the Visiting Hours board this week because it is the 25th anniversary of its release . I do remember when it was out in theaters in late May and June , 1982 ( I was 14 , had just gotten out of 8th grade for the summer and completed junior high school ) . And I wanted to go see it then , but my mother did not take me . However , we got our first VCR and joined our first video store in late November , 1982 , six months later , and she brought me three movies on DVD for Christmas that year , and this was one of them . She said it was a movie I'd wanted to see last summer but did not get to , and I immidiently thought it was Visiting Hours . I then watched it alot on our VCR with this tape through the 1980s ( we sold it at a yard sale in May , 1991 ) . But though it was never on my top movies list , I did like it well , and thought it was good , suspenseful , exciting , and had a strong plot and storyline ( more so than most movies of this genre ) . And I also remembering thinking it had a very unusual cast for a slasher movie-saying it may be the only horror movie that has an all star cast ( in William Shatner , Lee Grant , Michael Ironside , Linda Purl-she was big then ) . So yes , I think it is definitely worth watching , and now would be a great time to at its 25th anniversary . And with it now out on DVD I hope to see it again soon on that . I may feel the same way you do if I see it again soon BridgeE987 , as I'm 39 now ( you apparently were born in 1969 , and saw it in 1985 ? ) . But I don't think that will be the case , because my favorite and least favorite movies are virtually unchanged from what they were since the early 1980s , and I still feel the same way about nearly all now that I did when I first saw them .

It was , though I could never see it . They Photoshopped it out of the DVD and the masters so that it only appears on recording of the original transmission .

Yes , this is a John Hughes movie without everything that normally " makes " a John Hughes movie . Apparently the script was written in two days - - it really shows . A Hughes disappointment !

The only flaw I can find with this movie is the length , here we have great animation , characters , scifi and loads of wonderful ideas that could and should supply enough material for 2 hours . Instead we get a very rushed 82 minute film that feels like it has no second act , it's a damn good movie but I hate how short it is and that animation films in general are usally short . I think this movie needed another 30 minutes or so , just to develop the story more and give it a more epic feeling because the movie seems to end as soon as it started .

Doetreve , are you kidding about Iron Man 2 being more complex than The Dark Knight ? ? I hope you are , because Iron Man 2's plot is as basic as it gets . No theoretical undertones or social commentaries are involved with that film . It's a popcorn action flick . are you kidding me ? I spent quite a while thinking about the plot and trying to put it together , whereas the first one DID have a pretty basic plot . I doubt you even saw IM2 , how the fricking hell could you say it was simple and not complex ? More complex than TDK , imo . TDK didn't even really have a plot . just a bunch of random sh ! t happening , NO climax , NO turning point , NOTHING . I think Halo is a pretty cool guy , eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything

Great stuff . I'm so glad ADV finally released a new English version of Megazone 23 Part III in DVD format . The now familiar theme of rebellious youth against the system is given a fresh new face in this final Megazone chapter . The English voice dubbing for the English language track was pretty good . The character designs , futuristic landscapes , and mecha designs were absolutely stunning in their sleekness , elegance , and cool sophistication . The J-Pop songs are surprisingly hum-able . I have waited so long for this to be released in English in North America , and it was well worth the wait . To think that I ALMOST wasted $80 trying to bid on the Manga Video English dubbed version years ago on eBay . In retrospect , it was probably a bootleg since it was in NTSC VHS format even though the Manga Video version was never officially released in North America . I'm glad I lost the bid . Anyway , get this ADV DVD for your collection . Strength of mind , force of will . . .

Entertaining take on " The Most Dangerous Game " featuring " teens " ( you know , the kind in their late-20s ) , violence and a bit of gore . Apparently it was a feature on MST3K . . . but the movie isn't as terrible as that would suggest . It does feature some obnoxiously 50s dialogue , characters , and acting , but it also features some really fun stuff ( like a teeny bopper girl that knows judo and flips a bad guy into a vat of acid . . . and we get to watch him decompose ! how can you not love that ? ! ) . The dad from the Brady Bunch is in this , and is annoying as ever , and the plot gets a little too Scooby Doo in parts . But there are some fairly creepy scenes here . In fact , I enjoyed this much more than I probably should have . My rating :

This short documentary can be found on the DVD of George Romero's " The Crazies " . It is an interesting overview of the career of cult favorite Lynn Lowry . Using a recently recorded interview the program traces Ms . Lowry from her first acting job up to her current gig as a singer . It uses a lot of clips from her films and hits on all of the highlights . If you are at all interested in someone whose career has involved working with such varied talents as George Romero , David Cronenberg , Radley Metzger , Paul Schrader and even Lloyd Kaufman this is definitely worth checking out . This is the sort of DVD tribute that should be given to other cult actresses as well . It provided an excellent opportunity to give her opinion on her work as well as at the same time telling stories of the filming experience . Despite the fact that this was made in conjunction with " The Crazies " Ms . Lowry was able to cast a light on some of her lesser known works and even show some of her musical act .

This was my first of Christensen's few American films ( of which , alas , even fewer have survived ) but it was the 17th Chaney vehicle that I've watched - - and , unfortunately , it's quite possibly the worst ! What could have been an intriguing collaboration between a master film-maker and an unparalleled character actor - - both specialists in the fantasy genre - - was wasted on this turgid melodrama set during the Russian Revolution . The film's all-too-typical plot for a Chaney vehicle deals with a simpleton's unrequited love for a fugitive aristocrat ( Barbara Bedford ) whom he aids ; she repays Chaney by making him a servant in her household but she has herself fallen for dashing cavalry officer Ricardo Cortez , who's happy to oblige - - much to Chaney's dismay . The latter is enflamed with the spirit of revolution by another servant in Bedford's employ ( played by familiar rotund character actor Charles Puffy ) , resulting in a rather lengthy and unintentionally funny sequence in which Chaney gives vent to his contemptuous opinion of the aristocrats . The busy third act sees Chaney lecherously pursue Bedford ( once again at the instigation of Puffy ) , after which he comes to his senses and rebels against his ' pal ' , but Bedford forgives him after she sees again the whip-lashes Chaney had taken for her sake earlier on ! Unfortunately , there's little of genuine interest here ( apart from Chaney and Bedford , who's quite good ) and the film falls especially short when pitted against the contemporaneous masterpieces of Soviet cinema ; another American production of the time which deals with the same events is the John Barrymore vehicle , TEMPEST ( 1928 ) , which I have on VHS . . . and which , I guess , I should get around to watching sooner rather than later ( especially since Barrymore - - like Chaney himself - - is one of my all-time favorite actors ) . Besides , I still need to pick up several Chaney films on DVD , namely THE WICKED DARLING ( 1919 ) / VICTORY ( 1919 ) , NOMADS OF THE NORTH ( 1920 ; coupled with THE SHOCK [ 1923 ] , which I already own on VHS ) , OUTSIDE THE LAW ( 1920 ) / SHADOWS ( 1922 ) and OLIVER TWIST ( 1922 ) / THE LIGHT OF FAITH ( 1922 ) . . . By the way , for some crazy reason , on the print I watched the film is accompanied by a warbly rendition of John Williams ' rousing score for STAR WARS ( 1977 ) ! ! It felt so distractingly out of place that I turned the sound off completely and watched the film . . . er . . . silent ! !

You know I never really cared , but when you said he isn't in any of the action , an awesome image of Michael Caine walking around in a suit with a gun beside Leo popped in my head .

And I can't believe I forgot this one : " Where the Wild Things Are " I've seen it mentioned a few times in this thread , which makes me happy . It's actually a really fun episode for me , because I tend to be drawn to the supernatural side of BtVS . It reminded me of another of my favourite episodes , " Fear Itself . " I think the weirder the show gets , the better . Again , it comes back to Buffy fundamentals : I like how the show is just so different from other shows , and WtWTA is a great example of that . Finally , it hosts another of my favourite Spike moments : " I know I'm not the first choice for heroics , and Buffy's tried to kill me more than once . And I don't fancy a single one of you at all . But . . . Actually , all that sounds pretty convincing . "

Read the book , thought it was a pretty cool adventure story . Didn't bother with the movie simply because the " biggest " star they could get to be in it was Mike Seaver from " Growing Pains .

I have to agree with voice-in-the-machine , I am a great lover of Bergman's masterpieces ( Fanny & Alexander , The Seventh Seal , Persona , Winter Light ) , but Hour of the Wolf really lacked the grand scale themes and power that those films had . It certainly is not up to Bergman's usually high standards . Last film seen : Hour of the Wolf 7 / 10

The commentary is priceless for being full of it ( Eisenstein and Joseph Campbell references plus a review of " Crisis in The Hot Zone " ) and dismissing all the re-shoots and stock shots . But it's plain boring and uninteresting . I'd recommend Tony Hickox commentaries on STORM CATCHER and JILL THE RIPPER instead for some of the best insights on filmmaking . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http www commandperformance themovie com http www dolph ultimate com

I personally loath the man's prose , but his ideas and the things that he comes up with are very interesting to read if not presented in the most palatable language . The first time I read " Guts " , a short story that's just awesome in conception but difficult to get through because it's so unevenly written , I thought it was a something some high school student posted on the net . . . Fight Club is one of only two books that I've ever read where I thought the film adaptation was better . After I read Choke I had to stop reading him because I was forcing myself to finish his books , not because enjoyed them , but because the content was so over-the-top . The film adaptation of Choke wasn't anything special , though . I just think they should get Fincher to adapt all of his novels so I can enjoy the content without having to read his writing .

Dear Jack I read your interview in Starlog magazine not too long ago . I didn't realize that the reason why Terence Stamp left acting for a time was because he got into some trouble . I had always assumed he left for a time just to find some peace and meaning after he and Jean Shrimpton had broken up . Anyway , all that aside , I enjoyed reading your interview . I did have a couple of questions I wanted to ask you about . 1 . This book that you are currently writing . The one that you are hoping will be a blockbuster . Can you give us a hint as to what the storyline is all about ? 2 . Were there going to be ten Superman films originally ? If so , in your opinion , would the remaining eight have been just as successful as Superman-The Movie and Superman II ? 3 . I was quite shocked to learn that you and the late Christopher Reeve did not get along during the making of the two films . I was under the impression that he was a very mature young man for his age . Was he really the way you described him in your interview ? Thanks .

Whilst The Purified covers some of the same ground as the earlier Tranceformer , it has its own unique qualities to recommend it . Filmed during the course of a day long meeting between Dogme adherents Lars Von Trier , Soren Kragh-Jacobsen , Thomas Vinterberg , and Kristian Levring , the film isn't afraid of confronting the contradictions and flaws of the Dogme manifesto . Levring has the most insightful comments , and it's clear that Vinterberg was most comfortable with stretching the rules . Vinterberg's Festen scenarist Mogens Rukov is also around with some interesting thoughts .

Well I am a 40 year old male , and I'd wanted and planned to see it , then did yesterday afternoon . And I was definitely glad I did , I thought it was good and liked it . Abigail Breslin is adorable as its star / title character , and she does completely steal it , but it was also very touching , as well as being funny and exciting in places . And it also gave a very good overview of the Great Depression . And while watching it it did occur to me that since Kit was 10 , and the movie was set in summer , 1934 , she was likely born in April , 1924 and would be the same age as my father ( who was born on April 21 , 1924 ) . I never knew how he was effected by the Great Depression , though he was front line in the U . S . Navy during World War II-the other thing that defined Franklin Roosevelt's Presidency . Still , you should see it . " I happen to be a vegetarian " . Lex , from Jurrasic Park

upon which the short story is based , but I have often wondered how it is that Master Wang is so wealthy ? He's a widower and retired ( or too rich to work ) , but what exactly did he do ? Does anyone know ? Presumably , this information is in Lee's short story , perhaps even in Hammerstein's book for the show . I just wondered ! Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot .

Of Ray's films , I liked the Apu Trilogy and consider it to be his most well made of films . . . but the one I enjoyed more than any other was SHATRANJ KE KHILARI .

So as I am becoming more and more acclimated to the nature of the soap opera , I must say I am getting tired of special programming during this slot .

The North Vietnamese came to the negotiating table to buy time and to run rings round the American PR crews , ratcheting up the international pressure on a nation that was no longer interested in the fight . The B52's did a bang-up job of killing a couple of million civilians from the former Indo-China , but never scored a tactical or strategic victory . And the B-36 wasn't anybody's war winner . It could only ever be a war winner if it had exclusive use of A-bombs , which isn't going to happen . Granted that no one in Britain was willingly going to put their shoulders to the Nazi wheel in the new Britain but in my idealised , child-friendly New Anglo-Nazi Europe , our boots are shinier , our economy is growing more quickly and diversifying more rapidly , our technology is in every way superior , our foreign policy is purposeful and assured and for a solid 20 years at least we outperform the US right across the board . In fact , we're quite popular in the USA , who like our Leica SLRs , Mercedes Benzes and Jaguars , jet airliners and working washing machines ( the US still hasn't got around to those ) . Of course it all goes horribly wrong when Kraftwerk release their first album .

Martin Scorsese captures the surreal nightlife of New York and its many oddball inhabitants ( and I ought to know , as I'm a New Yorker ) . This is a wonderful dark comedy that varies in its level of effectiveness depending on what time of day I watch it ( nightime works best ) and what frame of mind I'm in . Griffin Dunne is a bored office worker who ventures out on the town late one evening for a spur-of-the-moment date with an oddball woman he's just met in a coffee shop . Things gradually turn more and more insane as the young man encounters endless obstacles all keeping him from being able to achieve his simple goal of getting back home before dawn . A good deal of twisted fun in its own way , though maybe not for all tastes . But if you have an appreciation for black comedy and are able to relate to the frustrations of " having one of those days , " you'll have a good time with AFTER HOURS .

Second rate ? Maybe , but who cares ? New York City is the capital of the world . It would be foolish to compare Boston - or any other city - to NYC . But that's got nothing to do with sports , buddy-boy . Today , Boston is the capital of the American League . I love it ! You Yankees fans have spent so long convincing yourselves that you're better than us , simply because you happened to be born in a city with a successful baseball team . You defined yourselves by the Yankees success : you thought that because they were winners , that made YOU a winner , too . And now that the roles are reversed , you're faced with the inevitable conclusion of that logic : if being a fan of a winner makes you a winner , than being a fan of a loser must make you a loser . And that hurts , doesn't it ? So instead of abandoning that logic and realizing that it's just a game , you have to lash out in anger . I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU . The Yankees lost . Accept it . Move on with your life or wallow in self pity , but don't blame us .

I don't use the zoom function to make a 4 : 3 picture fill the whole screen , cause as you said , it cuts off too much of the picture ( people's heads , etc ) . But with 14 : 9 , it is only a half zoom function , meaning very little is cut off . When I use 14 : 9 , I still have black bars on the left and right of the screen , but they are a lot skinnier cause the picture is slightly larger . As I said , I am missing a tiny bit of the picture , but it is worth it in my eyes . Even though 4 : 3 has more image than 14 : 9 , I hate watching the little box in the middle of my 42 " widescreen display . 14 : 9 is a good compromise . I don't zoom to 16 : 9 though , as that is TOO extreme . " Hans , booby . . . I'm your white knight ! " - - Harry Ellis , Die Hard

I have to disagree with the OP . Ever since Ally Musika got involved , Entourage is liking meeting up with friends for a champagne cocktail . And croissants , served on little doilies .

BOTH of the young boys are Jacob . This is his second coming / reincarnation and he is developing at a far faster rate on the island than he would elsewhere . Remember the look of dismay on MiB's face when he saw him / them and the surprise and displeasure that he expressed when he realised that both Sawyer and Desmond could also see him ? I suspect that MiB has to get off the island before Jacob II matures and it may be that Desmond ran over Locke in some attempt to delay his ( MiB ) escape . I was surprised at the reaction to the sight of the boys by both Sawyer and Desmond . It was as though strange boys wandering thru ' the jungle is an eveyday thing there . " Nervous ?

madmouth is the only one who is outraged . Me , myself , I am just dissapointed by what dear Helen says , but certainly never outraged . That's rediculous . I adore Helen , and could never feel so vicious toward her . She's our Supergirl . Face 2 Face-the passion's breathe , I hate to stay , but then I hate to leave !

Harry Potter is here to stay ! Almost down to the last couple films , the Harry Potter series may end up being the most successful franchise in film history . . . not Star Wars , not LOTR , not Indiana Jones , not Batman , not even James Bond . . . but Harry Potter ! And this film , HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE ( 2001 ) , is the one that started it all ! Really a super-cute kid's fantasy film while the future ones went darker and deeper , I still find this first one very enjoyable and watchable . As kids , Daniel Radcliffe , Rupert Grint , and Emma Watson ( Harry , Ron , Hermione , respectively ) were infectiously adorable ! There's an utter innocence in them in this first entry that hearkens one back to when things were simple . Thankfully , they have some major adults to back them up ! Richard Harris , Maggie Smith , Robbie Coltrane , and especially Alan Rickman ! Sadly , Mr . Harris is no longer with us ( he was in the 2nd one CHAMBER OF SECRETS thankfully ) , but the rest have continued on throughout the series to keep it faithful and strong ! SORCERER'S STONE , while not especially deep , does have some wonderful set pieces : the Hogwarts train ride , the exciting Quidditch match ( Harry's first ! ) and the climactic Wizard's chess scene ! But mainly , the directer Christopher Columbus does an admirable job introducing the viewer to this magical world without it ever devolving into insipid sappiness . This first film makes one " believe " , and that is a good start indeed !

Wouldn't count on a sequel and this is a very old topic .

Yeah well we'll see about her being in On The Road . I may not have anything to do with that book or Jack Kerouac but I plan to sue the makers of the movie regardless . Hey Jacob ! Take a bath hippie !

All talent and acting skills aside , I see a strong similarity in looks and accent of both Hopkins and Dale . Anyone else ?

I agree with you on David Carridine on the role of Zorndyke but I haven't heard much on a Live Action BS6 movie . Belg would look cool though [ super-realistic CG perhaps ? ]

None of those Golden Lotus films are character centric . Yes , I do believe that none of those movies are better than Attenborough's masterpiece , but this discussion is about movies that are centered around 1 character such as Harishchandrachi Factory . Majority of those movies for the golden lotus concentrate on more than one character in their narrative .

although i don't think this is the funniest of the series i have watched up to this point ( # 5 ) , i do think it is the most entertaining , and the most well paced . this one isn't boring at all , and there are certainly some amusing moments , especially when Clouseau is in some of his ' disguises ' , and most of the scenes with Cato . the story is interesting enough and former Chief Inspector Dreyfus is brought back in a way that makes sense and fits in well with the story . Burt Kwouk returns as Cato returns , obviously , but i wish his role had been more substantial . though , like i mentioned , his scenes were funny . all in , a pretty good entry in the Peter Sellers cannon of Pink Panther films . for me , Revenge of the Pink Panther id a

Zzzzzzzzzzz How many ways can you write off yet another foreign vampire film whose main concern seems to be how many girls in gowns , fangs and breasts it can offer during its running time ? Hey , this isn't a bad thing in itself - - but nothing else of any substance is happening here , and this is an easily passable snoozer from Argentina that you can use to help you sleep , if need be . The only things saving this from being rated a total BOMB - aside from the aforementioned babes , that is - would be an artsy credits sequence at the beginning and a couple of well executed kill sequences to open one eyelid for in between naps .
